Out of stockBérurier noir is a French punk band formed in Paris in 1983 by Laurent "Loran" Katrakazos (guitar), François Guillemot (vocals) and Dédé (drum machine). They called themselves "noir" (black) for the color of mourning (because their first concert was planned to be also their last) and for anarchy and "Bérurier" after the character from the novels of Frédéric Dard. Instead of being an end, the success of their first show inspired them to continue. A cult band, Bérurier Noir were loved by a generation of youth and feared by concert organisers for the riots that followed their shows. On the one hand, Bérurier Noir's songs were clearly derived from British punk rock as far as music and lyrics were concerned. Most of their songs were short, aggressive and usually based on a couple of basic power chords. Their lyrics reflected the typical concerns of punks such as the rejection of consumerism, politics and traditional social order and the anger felt by disaffected youth, tramps and outsiders in general. On the other, they added some interesting innovations. Their rhythm section consisted of a drum machine. The frequent use of a saxophone as of the mid-1980s also set them apart from most other punk rock bands. They would regularly appear on record sleeves and on stage wearing clown outfits, mock police uniforms or pig masks. Their shows were a unique and highly festive cross between a punk rock concert, a grotesque circus and an anarchist rally. "Souvent fauché toujours marteau" was originally released in 1989.

Out of stockSoul Jazz Records’ fantastic collection Betty Harris’ ‘The Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul’ available in new one-off limited-edition heavyweight gatefold special edition green vinyl coloured pressing + download code exclusively for Record Store Day 2022! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betty Harris’ The Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul features all of her classic deep soul, sister funk and northern soul songs recorded in New Orleans in the 1960s - all written, produced and arranged by the legendary Allen Toussaint, and featuring the cream of New Orleans musicians and the incredible Meters. All of these singles featured here were released on Allen Toussaint and his business partner Marshall Sehorn’s local New Orleans label Sansu, widely distributed in the southern city but in only limited quantities elsewhere. As a consequence, Betty Harris’ music failed to achieve the commercial success of other New Orleans artists such as Lee Dorsey (who she recorded with) and The Meters (who backed her). And so at the end of the decade she stopped recording, retired from the music business to raise her family in Florida. This is no reflection of the stunning musical quality of all these songs which encompass everything from southern soul, heavy funk, deep soul ballads and northern soul. Betty Harris has been a cornerstone of Soul Jazz Records’ New Orleans Funk and New Orleans Soul compilations. Always soulful and always funky, Betty Harris’ music contains the essence of New Orleans music. She is the Lost Soul Queen of New Orleans. This collection is released on CD, heavyweight gatefold double LP vinyl (+ download code) and digital and comes complete with full biography, original label artwork. REVIEWS: "Betty Harris’ ‘The Lost Queen Of New Orleans Soul’ collects together the steady stream of amazing soul and funk singles issued by Betty Harris from 1964 to 1969, under the musical guidance of legendary composer, musician and producer extraordinaire Allen Toussaint, a collection which truly captures the heart and soul of the city of New Orleans. There is a stunning musical quality to all these songs which encompass everything from southern soul, heavy funk, deep soul ballads and Northern Soul. Betty Harris has been a cornerstone of Soul Jazz Records’ ‘New Orleans Funk’ and ‘New Orleans Soul’ compilations. Always soulful and always funky, Betty Harris’ music contains the essence of New Orleans music." Boomkat "Wonderfully presented anthology" Allmusic (Soul Jazz Records)

Out of stockRecorded live in london in 1987, during the last big black tour, 'pig pile' opens in the band's typically charming manner with bassist dave riley announcing "this song is called 'dingy little back alley of a country'," before the band launches into a punishing 46-minute set. the concert includes material from the band's first ep, 'lungs', all the way up through 1987s 'songs about fucking'. the band's confrontational live sound emphasizes crackling, extremely harsh guitar and very brittle drums. in true punk rock style, the treble has been turned up as far as possible. 'cables' - about slaughterhouses and 'jordan, minnesota' - about a pedophilia scandal-both appear in radically sped-up versions. 'kerosene' is introduced as "a song jerry lee lewis wrote before he killed one of his wives," and steve albini's vocals are nearly buried beneath heaped shards of guitar shrapnel in 'steelworker.' while there is no substitute for actually living through the big black live experience, 'pig pile' - both on record and in its video form-documents one of the relatively few instances in history when music was actually dangerous.

Out of stockOriginally released in 1983 on Homestead Records and re-released on Touch And Go Records in 1992. Recently remastered by Steve Albini and Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering. Includes coupon for an MP3 download of the album. Big Black was started by Steve Albini in 1982 while he was attending Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Lungs, the first Big Black release was recorded by Steve on a borrowed 4-track. He played everything on the EP himself - except the sax bleating courtesy of pal John Bohnen and the drums courtesy of Roland. Soon after, Steve recruited Jeff Pezzati (Naked Raygun) on bass, and Santiago Durango (also Naked Raygun) joined them on guitar. In 1983, together with live drummer Pat Byrne, they recorded the Bulldozer EP. By 1984, the band had done some touring and recorded the Racer X EP and the start of the Il Duce 7”. After that, Jeff returned to Naked Raygun and was replaced by Dave Riley. In 1985, Big Black recorded their first full-length, Atomizer, as well as finishing the Il Duce 7”. Atomizer was released in 1986 along with the release of the Hammer Party compilation CD. In 1987, the Headache EP and Heartbeat 7” were released. That same year, the band recorded and released the 7” of The Model/He’s A Whore as well as their second full-length album, Songs About Fucking. They toured extensively (for Big Black). And they broke up. (Touch And Go Records)

Big Boys were an American pioneering punk rock band who are credited with having helped to create and introduce skate punk as a new style of music, which became popular in the 1980s. They also were famous for bringing elements of funk into their hardcore punk style. They’ve long done things differently in Austin, Texas, and the take on hardcore pioneered by one of the city’s sons, Big Boys, in the early 80s was no exception. Where peers Scratch Acid, The Dicks, and MDC pursued hardcore or art-punk angularity, Big Boys were mixing furious hardcore with loose-limbed funk and tight pop, all the while penning lyrics that struck a blend between punk ideology, angsty alienation, and goofy humor. It was delivered via 7”s, EPs, a split LP, compilations, three studio albums, and the live DIY shows that were audience participation-fueled free-for-alls. The idea was for fans to leave feeling like they were part of the band. Originally released on the Wasted Talent label and reissued last year by Modern Classics Recordings, 1981’s debut album Where’s My Towel was inspired by the group’s growing dissatisfaction with their part in the release of Live At Raul’s. Returning with Lullabies Help The Brain Grow two years later, they were still striking out at situations around them. The opening track, “We Got Your Money” is a sort of rally cry to the misunderstandings of their scene and to the fraternity boys and girls that came to gawk or cause trouble: “And to all you frat boys/We got your money in our hands!” they shouted gleefully. Song titles including “We’re Not In It To Lose,” “Fight Back,” and “Assault” proved that the gloves were off. Produced by Spot, legendary in-house producer at SST Records, Lullabies is an album that caught the band in ever-turbulent mode, switching drummers through the recording from Fred Schultz to Rey Washam – the fourth person to occupy the stool for vocalist Randy “Biscuit” Turner, guitarist Tim Kerr, and bassist Chris Gates. The album found the band testing the boundaries of their wide-ranging sound, with double-quick thrashers like “Lesson” and double-funky jams like “Funk Off” (helped along by the brass of the Fun Fun Fun 12" horn section). Kerr took lead vocals on two tracks, and on “Sound On Sound,” they combine his languid delivery and pendulum bass in a way that must have pricked the ears of a young Steven Malkmus. With features in the earliest issues of Thrasher Magazine and coveted spots on their influential Skate Rock tape comps, Big Boys were the first band to be labeled “skate rock,” the nascent version of the world-conquering skate punk of the late 1980s and 1990s. Now, Light In The Attic’s Modern Classics Recordings imprint is bringing their pioneering music to a new audience. Following the 2013 re-release of Where’s My Towel / Industry Standard, 2014 saw reissues of both Lullabies Help The Brain Grow and the following year’s No Matter How Long The Line Is At The Cafeteria, There’s Always A Seat, which brought the band’s story to a close. Famously, the Big Boys would end shows with the foursome shouting, “OK y’all, go start your own band.” Their message was inclusion – and action. Start a band, write a zine, participate. So what are you waiting for? Listen to this record. Label: Touch and Go Barcode: 0036172107131

Big Boys were an American pioneering punk rock band who are credited with having helped to create and introduce skate punk as a new style of music, which became popular in the 1980s. They also were famous for bringing elements of funk into their hardcore punk style. Active for five years in the early 1980s, the Big Boys mixed furious hardcore with loose-limbed funk and tight pop structures, all the while penning lyrics that struck a blend between punk ideology, angsty alienation and clever humor. They were, in the memory of Minor Threat frontman Ian MacKaye, “Enormous men, decorated jump suits, a horn section, 200 friends onstage singing and dancing.” They were Big Boys by name and by nature – and they had a big effect on US punk culture. When the prevailing trend was for playing hard and fast, this Austin, Texas four-piece played loose and funky. Their cult recordings struck a blend between punk ideology and clever humor, just as the band both railed against and celebrated the hardcore community that bore them. Released at the time of their split in 1985 and now reissued by Modern Classics Recordings, the group’s final album, No Matter How Long the Line Is At the Cafeteria, There’s Always a Seat finds Big Boys continuing to innovate, even including the sound of turntable scratching on Common Beat, a sound rarely heard outside of hip-hop at the time. Songs like “Which Way To Go” and “Narrow View” echo their boredom and anger with the changing hardcore scene, while “I Do Care” and “What’s The Word” illustrate the band’s positive outlook for things to come. With features in the earliest issues of Thrasher Magazine and coveted spots on their influential Skate Rock tape comps, Big Boys were the first band to be labeled “skate rock”, the nascent version of the world-conquering skate punk of the late ‘80s and ’90s. Now, Light In The Attic imprint Modern Classics Recordings is bringing the music of these pioneers to a new audience. Following the 2013 re-release of debut Where’s My Towel / Industry Standard, 2014 saw reissues of second album Lullabies Help The Brain Grow alongside this final record. Just as the album flirts between expressions of boredom and anger and funk jams that declare “Life is just a party” (”What’s The Word"), Big Boys were a mess of contradictions. On stage, openness was key and they became famous for encouraging the audience to get involved: “We’re the band, you’re the band,” they would say. But as a four-piece, their relationships began to fray as is not uncommon with many bands on long tours. After five short years and many recordings, the Big Boys went separate ways. “We never really decided to ‘break up’, it just happened,” said Kerr. “We had been on a two month tour, and it got to be exactly like being in a station wagon with mom and dad with your brother and sisters… lots of tension and everything.” Along with an appearance in the documentary American Hardcore and these new reissues, the band’s legacy continues in current bands, like Fidlar, Wavves, and The Orwells, and in the mark they made on Austin, Texas, which, in tribute to the band, adopted the name of their song, “Fun Fun Fun” for an annual arts/music festival. Keep Austin weird? Big Boys made Austin weird. Label: Touch and Go Barcode: 0036172107230

Copenhagen punk rock/power pop band BIG MESS is a pile of hooks and energy. Taking their cues from the timeless masters of melody, loud guitars and high BPMs, their music packs an infectious punch. CLEANING UP WITH is the band’s fourth full length and its first collaboration with UK-based label Specialist Subject. The album shows Big Mess at their most accomplished yet, and shows total dedication to reaching the ultimate in hit making. Imagine a singles compilation by your favourite band and you get the idea. Songwriting is key for Big Mess – as much Brill Building sparkle as hardcore punk economy, with no room for duds. Lyrically, the songs are heartfelt and occasionally stupid, with the dangers and difficulties of existence and the joys of rocking holding equal importance. Having been a band for nearly a decade, Big Mess’ playing is instinctive, effortless and relentless topped with vocals that combine a hooky sense of melody and rhythm with the right amount of desperation. This time the band adds a refreshingly shameless amount of backing vocals and harmonies that only add to the effective singalong quality. Label: Specialist Subject

Out of stockBiohazard released their third studio album State of the World Address in 1994. Their breakout from the underground into mainstream culture yielded an album where their musical style hasn't changed that much from the predecessors. Right from the streets of Brooklyn it contains some heavy stuff, but melodies also playing an important role in the music. The high class production and the anger the band members expressing in the songs shows the versatility of the group. Billy and Evan seamlessly trade lines, resulting in some sweet call/release choruses. The lyrics, the riffs, the changes, the dimensions are flawless and showing a band at the top of their possibilities. 180 gram audiophile vinyl Including insert Label: Music On Vinyl Barcode: 8719262008182

44-track double CD package from legendary US hardcore crossover act Biohazard, featuring two full albums from the band’s years with Roadrunner Records. • CD 1 features their second studio album ‘Urban Discipline’, originally released in 1992, with bonus tracks. • CD 2 features their live album ‘No Holds Barred – Live In Europe’, originally released in 1997. Formed in 1987 in Brooklyn, New York, Biohazard are recognised as one of the first acts to blend hardcore punk, metal and hip hop. The band signed with Roadrunner in 1992 and released their classic ‘Urban Discipline’ and toured with bands as diverse as House Of Pain, Kyuss, Sick Of It All and Fishbone. The band eventually signed to Warners and collaborated with the likes of Cypress Hill, hardcore rappers Onyx and Pitch Shifter, and toured as part of the OzzFest in 1996. Despite a couple of periods of inactivity, Biohazard recently announced the reformation of their classic line up for live touring in 2023, including the Bloodstock Festival in the UK. A contemporary New York Times live review described the Biohazard live experience of the mid 90s: “The entire dance floor on Saturday was a typhoon of slamming bodies, colorful tattoos and airborne leaflets for future concerts by local bands. Audience members dove off the stage four at a time as Biohazard flailed at its guitars. Billy Graziadei, the singer and guitarist, yelled rhythmically, as if he were punching lyrics out of his diaphragm. He kept perfect time with Danny Schuler’s rapid drumbeat. Evan Seinfeld, the bassist, and Bobby Hambel, the guitarist, growled back-up vocals during each song’s chorus, joined at the microphone by whatever members of the audience happened to be onstage.” Track Listing: DISC ONE Urban Discipline 1 Chamber Spins Three 2 Punishment 3 Shades of Grey 4 Business 5 Black And White And Red All Over 6 Man With A Promise 7 Disease 8 Urban Discipline 9 Loss 10 Wrongside Of The Tracks 11 Mistaken Identity 12 We’re Only Gonna Die (From Our Own Arrogance) 13 Tears Of Blood 14 Hold My Own 15 Business (demo) 16 Urban Discipline (demo) 17 Loss (demo) 18 Black And White And Red All Over (demo) DISC TWO No Holds Barred – Live In Europe 1 Shades of Grey (live) 2 What Makes Us Tick (live) 3 Authority (live) 4 Urban Discipline (live) 5 Modern Democracy (live) 6 Love Denied (live) 7 Business (live) 8 Tales From The Hard Side (live) 9 Better Days (live) 10 Victory (live) 11 Survival Of The Fittest (live) 12 Blue Blood (live) 13 Black And White And Red All Over (live) 14 Victory (Reprise) (live) 15 How It Is (live) 16 After Forever (live) 17 Tears of Blood (live) 18 German Lesson #7 (live) 19 Chamber Spins Three (live) 20 Wrong Side Of The Tracks (live) 21 Waiting To Die (live) 22 These Eyes (Have Seen) (live) 23 Punishment (live) 24 Hold My Own (live) 25 Shades of Grey (live)* 26 Punishment (live)* *Bonus live versions taken from the ‘Urban Discipline’ 1993 digipack release Label: Dissonance Productions, Cherry Red, Warner Music UK Ltd.

Out of stock30th Anniversary Double LP. Black Vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve. Includes an exclusive fold out poster, individually foil-stamp numbered on back of gatefold. Tracks D1-D4 are bonus tracks that did not appear on the original album. In 1992, Biohazard signed with Roadrunner Records and released Urban Discipline, which gave the band national and worldwide attention in both the heavy metal and hardcore communities. The video for the song "Punishment" became the most played video in the history of MTV's Headbanger's Ball, and the album sold over one million copies. The band also began opening for larger acts such as Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies, House of Pain, Fishbone, and The Cro-Mags. In 1993, the hardcore rap group Onyx brought on Billy Graziadei for an alternate "Bionyx" version of their hit single "Slam" with Biohazard as their backup band. This led to a collaboration on the title track of the Judgment Night soundtrack. The soundtrack would go on to sell over two million copies in the United States. Months later, the band left Roadrunner Records and signed with Warner Bros. Records Inc. who released their third studio LP, State of the World Address. The album was produced by Ed Stasium in Los Angeles and contained the single "How It Is" featuring Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, for which a video was also shot. During their 1994 tour, the band made an appearance on the second stage at the Monsters of Rock festival held at Castle Donington. State of the World Address went on to sell over one million copies, and Rolling Stone magazine selected the Biohazard logo as the best logo of the year. This was the last Biohazard album with Bobby Hambel, who left due to differences with the rest of the band. The band recorded their fourth studio album, Mata Leao, as a three piece in 1996. It was produced with the help of Dave Jerden. For the 1996-97 Mata Leao Tour, former Helmet guitarist Rob Echeverria joined the band. The band also played on the Ozzfest mainstage alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, Danzig, Fear Factory, and Sepultura. While touring Europe in support of the Mata Leao album, the band recorded their Hamburg, Germany, show for their first live album, No Holds Barred (Live in Europe), which was released in 1997 through their former label, Roadrunner Records.

Grey vinyl. If the pandemic made you realize that you missed one thing about your connection with punk, there's a decent chance that Bishops Green had something to do with that. This band hits hard and reaches people on a very deep level. Making new fans daily, they continue to connect with scores of people very deeply, even not being able to tour. Yet the true magic in this band is really seeing them live. As the world returns to normal and gigs materialize, more and more people are gonna realize how important this band is to the social fabric of punk rock. The passion they’ve instilled in fans, and the fervor from within are both equally strong and together are the reason why this band has so much impact to deliver! This album and these songs absolutely set the tone, brilliantly, but there is so much more to come as well. Absolutely no lack of excitement in this maple-leaf-adorned corner of the punk rock world - in fact, quite the opposite! There are seemingly black skies adrift right now, but somehow these songs make you feel like there's a golden future on the horizon! We can all at least sing loud, and hope...

The Vancouver based streetpunk band, BISHOPS GREEN was formed in Spring of 2011. Bishops Green’s music is raw and energetic, with a style firmly embedded in the historic roots of Streetpunk and Oi!. The five long-time friends have been playing in bands together since the ’90s, and this history combined with the group's diverse influences, enables the creation of a catchy sing-along sound that will make sure any audience member feels like they are part of the show! Energetic and charismatic front-man Greg Huff is known to many fans of streetpunk and Oi!, as he has been the heart-beat of numerous bands since the late 80’s, including GLORY STOMPERS, SUBWAY THUGS, THE LANCASTERS and most recently ALTERNATE ACTION. Their melodic style of old-school punk draw creative influences from European groups like BLITZ, THE CLASH, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, COCK SPARRER, THE PARTISANS and LEATHERFACE; to hardcore acts from the U.S. like THE AUTHORITIES, NAKED RAYGUN, and MINOR THREAT. Following a very impressive and critically acclaimed debut 12” MLP in 2013, this full-length album picks up right where that left off. At the core, the songs on "Pressure" are similar, but with a noticeable growth and maturation to them. The lyrics continue to be bold and ask questions of our society, while extolling the traditions and pride of punk rock culture and accountability to each other through unity. (Pirates Press Records)

Fronted by Greg Huff and supported by others formerly of bands including ALTERNATE ACTION, THE LANCASTERS, SUBWAY THUGS and GLORY STOMPERS, this is the perfect next step in the evolution of those bands. The sound is still raw yet melodic and catchy, but done with so much more skill and precision than all the aforementioned bands. Fans of catchy singalong street-punk rock 'n' roll and bands like THE BUSINESS and COCK SPARRER can buy this record without hesitation.

Out of stockComplete and unreleased "Damaged" recording session w/Dez Cadena. "According to Black Flag's engineer and live sound man Spot, a nearly complete version of Damaged was recorded at Golden Age Studios with Dez Cadena doing vocal duties. This session is where the tracks for the Six Pack EP came from. No official version of the remainder of this recording session has ever been released, although unlicensed copies have circulated in tape trading circles for years. A comparison of the unreleased Dez Cadena sessions with the released LP suggests that the vocal cadence and presentation of the Cadena sessions were used as a reference by the band prior to recording the final album."

Out of stockBlack Flag was unable to legally record and release records for three years. During this time the band had a radically different, avant-metal sound.In 1982, Black Flag was still a five piece, but they had pulled drumming powerhouse Chuck Biscuits behind the kit. In order to get Biscuits tour ready, the band snuck into Total Access studios and recorded and mixed a demo, all in one night. Black Flag in their prime. Historical release. This CD is almost part of a “forgotten” history, as there are not many quality recordings of Henry Rollins’s gang at this time, Black Flag as a five piece with Chuck Biscuits on drums before he joined forces with Glenn Danzig. Extensive liner notes. (Fan Club/Unofficial)

Out of stockBlack Flag With Henry Rollins & Chuck Biscuits – Live At The On Broadway (July 23-24-1982) “Black Flag always ran into inumerous problems during their tours. Playing shows that were shut down by cops, club owners that didn’t pay them, bouncers breaking the windows of the van, people stealing from the band, and for instance when the van caught fire and Chuck had to go underneath the van with a pillow to put the fire out before it destroyed all of their equipment.” Incredible live performance in New York in ‘82, in a time when Black Flag were under legal problems with the record label and could only tour for a living. Survival was not easy but Henry Rollins kicked adversity in the teeth.

Out of stockWith My War, the true Henry Rollins era of Black Flag begins. He was brought in to sing Greg Ginn’s songs for Damaged and with My War became a fully integrated member of the band, nudging the band towards slower tempos that emphasized their atonal freakouts. This slide towards MC5, free-jazz bust-outs put them at odds with punk rock’s insistence on short, fast rules. But it made the group a distinctive entity at a time when most hardcore punk bands were passing in a blur. Only the title track ever gained true notoriety, but tracks such as “Can’t Decide,” “Three Nights” and the eternal trudge of “Scream” make the case for Greg Ginn as one of the era’s most important guitar players. His solos are off the wall, while his riffage brings back the ghosts of early Black Sabbath at a time when Sabbath was fading from view. Rollins’ throaty, guttural vocal stabs recast the band as a formidable live outfit whose concerts were true endurance tests for all involved. (EU-SST Records/Unofficial Release)

When Black Pumas made their self-titled debut in 2019, the Austin-bred duo set off a reaction almost as combustible and rapturous as their music itself. Along with earning a career total of seven Grammy Award nominations (including Album Of The Year) and winning praise from leading outlets like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, singer/songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada achieved massive success as a live act, touring large theatres all over Europe and North and South America and delivering a transcendent show Burton aptly refers to as “electric church.” As they set to work on their highly awaited sophomore album, the band broadened their palette to include a dazzling expanse of musical forms: heavenly hybrids of soul and symphonic pop, mind-bending excursions into jazz-funk and psychedelia, starry-eyed love songs that feel dropped down from the cosmos. Wilder and weirder and more extravagantly composed than its predecessor, Chronicles of a Diamond arrives as the fullest expression yet of Black Pumas’ frenetic creativity and limitless vision.

The second Black Randy single and a classic just like the debut. Black Randy was a talented lyricist whose work brims with irony and thumbs its nose at everything, even the L.A. proto-punk culture that spawned them. Black Randy & the Metrosquad were perhaps the wittiest band on the L.A. punk scene in the late '70s. Their sardonic humor and musicality still holds up well decades later, and is light years away from the regimented sameness of approach that afflicted L.A.-based punk bands that formed shortly after their demise. Originally released in 1978 on Dangerhouse Records, this single is a bonafide Los Angeles punk rock classic. This 4 song EP comes on black vinyl and is a faithful repro of the original pressing. Limited edition. (Dangerhouuse Records/Unofficial Release)

Black Randy and his Metrosquad were a supergroup of the Hollywood punk era: the line up included members of the Randoms, Eyes and the Dils as well as one of the other founding partners of Dangerhouse, David Brown. Black Randy was a tragic mixture of genius and self-abuse, known for writing lyrics in PCP/alcohol/diabetic stupors which mirrored the despair of the human condition in a way that deserved immortality. This classic EP that was released by Dangerhouse Records features 3 immortal LA punk rock cuts: “Trouble At The Cup, “Sperm Bank Baby”, & “Loner With a Boner”. Black vinyl. Limited edition.

Out of stock"This band released a split cassette with No Balls, and this fact is telling. Why? Because Blank Veins play horrible, churning, untoward noise-rock that pays grubby homage to said band and the related Brainbombs. First song is a rattling, skull-scraping thing overloaded with squalling sax. The beat to it is almost like the Gun Club or something, though the instrumentation suggests broken glass and corrugated iron rather than Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s spidery guitar fragments. Second song is a stuck lurch, the same riff cycling over and over while beleaguered vocals howl misfortune and that infernal sax parps mercilessly away. It’s brain-gnawingly awful and borderline unbearable, but at the same time strangely compulsive. How they manage such a combination is a total mystery, but do it they do. Over and over and over again." 137 copies pressed in total. 95 came with black letter stamps on the label for the tracklist, and 42 came with red letter stamps. This is the second edition.

"When the first stabs of treble drenched, over-driven guitar ring out, it sounds as if Blank Veins are about to take you straight into abstract, no-wave territory. But as the first track progresses and the drums and bass kick in, this bad boy veers straight into sleazy, pummeling noise rock territory. And fuck, as soon as the sax snaked its way in through the cacophony I was completely sold. Blank Veins take a simple, atonal riff and drive it forward for the entire duration of the song - completely deconstructing it and annihilating it in the process while the rhythm section pounds away in the background. Add intermittent background noise, yelled/slurred vocals and of course the sax and you have some sort of bastard child born from the fling between a Rhode Island noise rock band and an ex-East Village punk. Totally nihilistic, unrelenting stuff." For Fans Of: D.N.A, Brainbombs, Arab On Radar, Billy Bao, Sex Scheme, The Pop Group, Puffy Areolas Thessaloniki Noise Rules !!!

Out of stockAfter what has seemed like an eternity and an extremely long journey (including 90% of the initial pressing of the record mysteriously disappearing in transit), Blazing Eye's most recent recording secures their place as one of Los Angeles's best hardcore-punk bands. Propagating punk as true and original as bands the likes of G.I.S.M. and Siege, Blazing Eye sets forth with their strongest release since their 2013 demo. It's a banger for sure and I'm happy that this record is finally a reality. A one time pressing. (Static Shock Records) https://staticshockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ways-to-die

Things are getting crazier every day, these times are even worse than what we could have feared only a few years ago but thankfully there are many forms of expression which are so many ramparts to resignation and defeatism. BLEAKNESS is a great testimony of that. “Life at a Standstill” is the second full lenght of this prolific and inspired band. Through these ten new songs, BLEAKNESS walks on a wire between tension and a certain sense of sensibility. The band succeeds in nuance and inventiveness : more vocal diversity, more melodic and rhythmic richness… without losing the energy and the urgency acclaimed in their previous efforts. « Life at a Standstill » shows the range of possibilities of punk culture, BLEAKNESS brings lots of new atmospheres in its universe.

This new 7" by Paris Dark punkers BLEAKNESS features two unreleased songs from the last album studio session, they were put on hold to get the spotlight they deserve, as the band is already working on new material it was time to release them. A side song "Words" is the last song the band wrote before entering the studio, it is another death-rock anthem while B side "Greed" is based on riffs written during the bands' first ever European tour years ago, it is reminiscent of the early 80's melancholic SoCal California hardcore punk scene. With both songs gathered together, this 7" is a good summary of the musical spectre of the band between hardcore and punk post, more energetic than ever and for sure with a heavy done of guitar melancholy. } Pressed on red vinyl.

Out of stockFormed in the town of New Mills, Derbyshire in 1980, Oi legends Blitz revitalised the UK punk scene of the era, their incendiary debut Voice Of A Generation a massive commercial success, but the 1983 follow-up Time Empire Justice had a different line-up and new wave orientation, pointing to fissures in the group; then, in 1990, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Nidge Miller teamed up with former Attack frontman Gary Basnett for The Killing Dream, a studio swansong that revived the name with Nidge fully in control. Devotees will love the sterling guitar work on this final piece of the Blitz jigsaw. Label: Radiation Records Barcode: 8055515233155

Blitz were among the most influential punk bands ever. It was Gary Bushell (who wrote for Sounds and was later dubbed the 'Godfather of Oi!') who brought the band to the attention of his friend Chris Berry, who had just set up No Future records with a bank loan and high hopes. No Future 001 (and Blitz's debut release) was a 4-track EP titled 'All Out Attack', a 20,000-copy bestseller that made the label's fortune, later to become the most representative of the whole UK82 movement. Its follow-up, 'Never Surrender', reached number 2 on the Indie charts, while their 3rd EP, 'Warriors', showed their slight move towards the sing-a-long style of classic Oi! Recorded live at the legendary Lyceum in London in April of 1982, just after the release of their second 7" (with a few tracks from the Skunx club in Islington recorded a few weeks later) this is the band at their absolute live peak. Crucial UK OI! recorded live, the way the genre was meant to be heard, with a beer in one hand and the other with a fist in the air. Blazing and brutal and classic UK82.

Out of stockReleased a year after their much hearled debut album 'Voice of a Generation' , 'Second Empire Justice' features half the members from the original line-up and with a new sound. While initially being an Oi!/Skinhead Punk band, on 'Second Empire Justice' they not only changed members and their look but also their sound and released a Post-Punk classic with a heavy dose of Joy Division worship, produced by Chris Nagle. While Nagle had also produced their debut album, he had also engineered the Joy Division and New Order albums under Martin Hannett and had also engineered various other post punk albums of the day from the likes of The Durutti Column, A Certain Ratio and Magazine. Together the band and Nagle created a masterpiece while not appreciated at the time, especially by their original skinhead/Oi! fanbase. The album would go onto influence tons of post-punk/darkwave bands that sprouted from the ashes of punk/hardcore bands decades later and become one of the most sought after albums of the golden age of post-punk.. So sit back and listen to these beautiful moody haunting guitars, dancing basslines and emotionally fragile vocals all the while retaining a punk ferocity. For Fans of : Joy Division, Magazine, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Killing Joke, The Middle Class Limited repress on Puke n Vomit Records, comes with a huge poster of the cover art. (Puke n Vomit Records)
