Selections from The Punk Vault [I Braineater]
I Braineater – Artist Poet Thief LP (1985 More Records) Being more than a huge Skinny Puppy fan, I would take notice of such things as the people who were doing their artwork and all kinds of other things related to the band. One such person who did the covers to Too Dark Park and [...]
Live from Combustion Manor returns!
At long last, “Live from Combustion Manor” internet radio has returned. Part one is available to the people in a handy podcast format. Coming in the near future will be the return of the streaming web radio as well. The show will be presented in one-hour segments and the first one is up now, along [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [391]
391 – 12″ EP (1981 Posh Boy Records) Recently on the KBD group, someone mentioned the band 391 and it made me remember, “oh yeah, I have that record”. I bought this record a long time ago when I found it at a store and I had never heard of the band, or had ever [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [No Thanks]
No Thanks – Are You Ready to Die 7″ 1983 Dead Space Records Quite a few years ago on a planned Xmas trip to MI to visit my dad, the holiday came a little bit early in what turned out to be the last great record score before ebay had completely ruined record collecting and [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [Noise From Nowhere]
Various Artists – Noise From Nowhere 7″ (1983 Toxic Shock Records) When I was a freshman in high school, my friend Mick Calhoun had more punk records than anyone I knew at that point (and the total amount of punks in our school at that time was about 7). I asked him if he would [...]

[False Prophets]
False Prophets – Good Clean Fun 7″ (1982 Worn Out Brothers) My introduction to False Prophets came from the amazing P.E.A.C.E compilation on R Radical Records. That compilation single handedly introduced me to more great bands than any other compilation in history. I used to bring the booklet to school that came with that compilation [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [Who Cares]
Various Artists – Who Cares LP (1981 American Standard) This is another in what is becoming a long line of records that should be reissued on some sort of CD but haven’t. This one also was a request from my pal, Rob V. The late 1970s/early 1980s was a hotbed of punk rock and hardcore [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [Minutemen]
Minutemen – Spin Radio Show LP (1985 Spin Radio) Having seen that movie the other day, it inspired me to make the Minutemen a feature for one of these. It was something I was going to do anyway, but now it just got bumped to the front of the line while it was fresh on [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [Gastunk]
Gastunk – Devil 7″ (1983? Dogma Records) Gastunk is another one on the fairly short list of non-North American punk/hardcore bands I collect. I first heard of them when Pushead put out one of their albums on his long-defunct Pusmort Records. By the time that record came out, the band had already been around a [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault
[Serial Killers]
Serial Killers – Roadside Rendezvous LP (1987 Plus Records) I can’t recall how I first came to hear of this band, it was either the fact that someone from Condemned to Death was playing with them and I read about it in MRR, or it was simply the fact that this record was on Plus [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault
[God's Favorite Dog]
Various Artists – God’s Favorite Dog LP (1986 Touch and Go Records) This is another one of those “why in the hell haven’t they reissued it” records, especially considering the label who issued it is still around. In 1986 Touch and Go released this fine compilation that documented a lot of its current artists, as [...]
Selections from The Punk Vault [Rik L Rik]
![Selections from The Punk Vault [Rik L Rik]](http://www.punkvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/12/riklrik-150x150.jpg)
Rik L Rik – Meathouse 7″ (1979 Posh Boy Records) Rik L Rik (real name Richard Brian Elerick) was around in the beginning of the Los Angeles punk scene and was in a band called F-Word. He was mentioned quite a bit in The Germs biography that came out a couple years ago. After F-Word [...]
