Kidcrash - Demo 2006

Label: Self Released
Year: 2006

This was a request a really long time ago, and I spaced out and totally forgot to post it. Sorry everybody, my mistake.
So, if you're still out there looking for this, look no further, here it be.
Modern post-hardcore that has some interesting technical pieces, some interesting dynamics, and some tasty riffs. Not bad, it's just that I don't generally listen to this strain of music, so my ability to describe it is stunted. I'm sure that if you are under the age of 30 and into hardcore then you probably know this band. Maybe if Botch is "old school" to you, then this might be up your alley.

Cursed - The Last Session

Label: High Anxiety / No Idea
Year: 2010

Cursed came at a time when I needed it, they were as heavy as anything else out there, but they played my beloved hardcore, and they renewed my faith that the genre could still surprise and excite me. It was basically the thickness of mid-period Entombed mixed with the D-beat stomp of Amebix, flavored with the poignant jolt of Born Against. Can't really argue with that combination.
This 7" was recorded live in Europe on their final tour, and contains 5 songs spread across their three albums, played a bit faster and harsher than the studio versions. Can't really argue with that approach either.
Members of this band came from and went on to: Burning Love, Ruination, Career Suicide, The Swarm, Left For Dead (who had a split 7" with Ochre, featuring vocals from...yours truly...name drop), Acrid, Haymaker, Black Hand, Ire, Sinclaire, Meligrove Band, Grayline, Shallow North Dakota, Quest For Fire, Mature Situations, and Crux Of Aux among the throngs of others.
I believe the record is sold out, but you might be able to find it through certain distros.

The Action Suits - Cancer Father 7"

Label: Man's Ruin
Year: 1996

Gotta clean out the hard drive and make room for more...savory, holy, things.
So you get this two song 7" from The Action Suits who's main claim to fame (freestyle, son!) was that the drummer was comic artist Peter Bagge (who also did the cover), but Steve Fisk also appears on this record, so that' worth something. I guess. Rumor has it, based on Bagge's credentials the band was courted by four separate labels to release four separate 7"s before anyone had heard a note of music, but to their credit, Sub Pop backed out after actually listening to the record they were to release, rumor has it Jonathan Poneman actually threw the cassette of the songs across the room in disgust.
You probably wouldn't release these records either, as they are rambling, tuneless, sloppy pop. I find this kind of stuff grating, but others (maybe the Beat Happening fans out there?) might find some enjoyment in it. Plus, it's a relic of the Man's Ruin era, so for that alone, it's worth listening to.

Bl'ast! - Bad Medication Demo

Label: Bootleg
Year: 1989

Funk was a witchy woman in the late 80's into the early 90's, luring lots of otherwise sane people into ridiculous pogoing pits of day-glo euphoria and hackneyed slap bass. It was shameful, it truly was.
Well, the mighty Bl'ast! seemed to flirt with the unfortunate she-devil funk a bit before coming to their senses and getting down to the business of getting down on more Black Flag informed hardcore and damaged Bloodrock styled thud rock. I think this was the last material that Clifford sings on before he left the band and Mike Neider took over vocal duties. Might not be accurate, but I just took the time to type that out and broadcast it to the internet, sooooo, it's pretty much true now.
I don't know the song titles, if any does, feel free to let me know.

A Place To Bury Strangers - A Place To Bury Strangers

Label: Killer Pimp
Year: 2007

I zipped this record up and posted it to Mediafire awhile back so that a friend who was looking for recommendations on new music could give it a listen, and figured I'd go ahead to share the wealth (link).
Any fan of The Jesus And Mary Chain should already have this, and that descriptor is almost all you need. Although, A Place To Bury Strangers takes their washed out, distorted shoegaze and completely blows out your speakers by turning all instruments to 10 and letting them feedback at will. Good times. Not unlike Black Rebel Motorcycle Club mixed with My Bloody Valentine and then some Primal Scream for good measure.
This post has referenced too many bands with long ass names, and now I am tired.

EXTREME MUSIC FOR RADICAL SPORTS!

THE ULTIMATE HEAVY METAL EXERCISE TAPE!

i know...those are some pretty bold statements to make...but i wouldn't make that business up...all of that is plainly stated on the cover

i was wandering through goodwill the other day and was flipping through their music section...not really expecting to find anything...as usual...

but i came across this and a butthole surfers cd (ELECTRICLARRYLAND)

so of course i had to lay down the $1.00 and snag them up

i'm the only one around these parts that could give them a proper home

so...i figured that i'd share this with all of you

and besides...where else are you going to be able to see fudge tunnel and into another and kid rock together?
