  • F.O.A.D. Records keeps up the unbreakable legacy with Italy’s absolute Hardcore heroes Raw Power giving to their most classic album “Screams from the gutter” a proper deluxe edition, a total quality-care version that makes justice to this timeless Hardcore milestone! Many of you will agree that this is the finest Italian HC offering ever made and easily one of the 10 world’s best Hardcore records of the 80’s.. over 40.000 copies sold and still sounding fresh and up-to-date even when compared to modern HC standards. FOAD’s treatment for this all time colossus consists of a thick glossy gatefold sleeve featuring lyrics and rare/unreleased photos and flyers, a square A2 replica of their cult gig-poster with Cro-Mags and Motörhead + a scrupolous mastering that respects in detail the original reel’s sound leaving full breathe and dynamics to its original impact and (raw) power! 17 gems of intense, no-frills HC with a bombastic drummer, fantastic guitar riffs and angry vocals. It’s a difficult comparison with their other early output – “You Are The Victim” and the excellent material released by BCT – but after all “Screams From The Gutter” marks Raw Power’s peak due to its superior production. The band’s simple yet instantly memorable riffs bring to mind Black Flag, Circle Jerks, but also earlier groups like the Who, AC/DC, and of course, the Stooges. Throw in some cool harmonics, rockin’ solos, a cowbell, and a guitar player with hell-shriek vocals and you have this flawless Hardcore classic!!

  • Behold! Seattle’s immortal IRON LUNG have bestowed upon us their fourth studio full-length, Adapting // Crawling. This, their first album since 2013, is as fierce and uncompromising as we’ve come to expect from the duo of Jensen Ward and Jon Kortland, who originally bonded over a shared fascination of punishing hardcore and arcane medical barbarism. On this new LP, it’s not a funhouse mirror they’re holding up - society has devolved into this misshapen, ugly and distorted form, and IRON LUNG take no pleasure in pulling back its curtain. As truth-tellers in this breakneck and unrelenting hardcore tradition, duty commands IRON LUNG to ram their bulldozers, Hanatarash-style, through the tidal waves of horseshit. Extreme hardcore is not a new phenomenon, yet Adapting // Crawling is undoubtedly a vital new fork in its socket. Hearkening back to forebears Despise You and Crossed Out, these eighteen tracks offer distinctly original pathways to obliteration, from the ominous opening blows of “Adapting” to the inspired decision to sandwich the distressing “Virus” between two halves of “Purgatory Dust”, a rare piece of art that accurately conjures the monotonous terror of surviving an active pandemic. Their blasts of hardcore/agit-prop are savage and unrelenting, but IRON LUNG somehow manage to imbue the negative space between blasts with an oxygen-destroying heaviness as well, perhaps the defining trademark of this group who once saw their reflection in a full-body pressurized metal chamber and decided to turn it into music. -Matt Korvette Recorded, mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson. Cut by John Golden. Art by Jon Kortland. Layout by Jensen Ward. Trans red 150gr vinyl housed in a tipon jacket with printed inner sleeve and hype sticker included. Label: Iron Lung Records

    Five years since their previous EP, NYC punks Kaleidoscope return with Cities of Fear—an 8 song 12” of dark utopian hardcore punk written and recorded at D4MT Labs by the band in only a few days. Rougher and more chaotic than their previous records, like a crazed, spontaneous live offering from seasoned veterans, Cities of Fear sounds like a band returning to their roots, with the heavy, mid 80’s anarcho-punk of Wretched, Crucifix, and Iconoclast serving as their North Star. This record is a surprising and seething document from a group that, after a decade together, continues to experiment with their anger. Label: La Vida Es Un Mus

    ARSE | complete arse | LP

    20.00 incl. tax

    Out of stock

    The ultimate (bile, guts and angst) outing from these top-notch Aussie dark punks… can’t fault it really. Love everything about this. Arse’s releases have already become classics in my mind. This is a band I’m going to keep listening to until the Sun burns out. Primitive Species from 2017 was a refreshing fusion of obnoxious techno-like intensity and primitive hardcore punk energy. ARSE’s identity sounds like a drunken, stumbling warning of something very ugly and violent coming your way. You can also dance to it if that’s your thing. Safe Word doesn’t bend radically from the face-melting formula previously introduced, but they do tend to flirt with more traditional “rock tropes,” and it works surprisingly well. At times when riffing out like SUICIDE or FLIPPER, the neanderthal singing reminds you of why you’re still here. During its eleven minutes on the turntable, Safe Word actually creates an album-like quality. I suppose ARSE is kind of what PISSED JEANS wish they were: great songwriting and musical abilities performed for dumb people. Safe Word was the next EP from Arse, proudly presented by Grupo and Erste Theke Tontraeger Records, direct from planet earth. Recorded amidst one member’s medical catastrophe, nationwide touring and utter global decay, the trio follow up their lauded debut with the next phase in punk rock evolution — a crucial meditation on humankind’s tendency to lean into a fucked situation rather than get itself out. With no topic too hot, no stone unturned and no pooch left to screw, Arse are a band who thinks big, baby. Internal warfare, assured climate doom, the incurable ill of the male psyche, and a song exclusively about hating world leaders are all there to be discovered across these four burning mantras. Complete with live-wire guitars, sledgehammer rhythms and absolutely smouldering production from the band’s own Jonathan Boulet, Arse are truly a band on fucking fire. Kaputt. is the next phase of Australian insanity by ARSE, who’s last recorded work came out in 2019, right before the world truly shat the proverbial bed. It’s all been leading up to this; a six-track blast on everything from climate denialism to crooked law enforcement that will excoriate your earholes and arseholes in minutes of raw power. Strap in.

    LIFELESS DARK delivers their debut LP Forces of Nature's Transformation. Building on the foundation of their 2018 Who Will Be the Victims demo tape—revisiting two tracks from that release—this album intensifies their blend of metallic UK punk and raw early thrash metal. Think classics like Behind the Realms of Madness, Heading for Internal Darkness and A Bomb Drops… Ten tracks that oscillate between ambitious progressive structures and stripped-down chaotic ferocity, Forces of Nature's Transformation captures the collapse of 21st-century empires in stark, unrelenting detail. This album is entirely self-produced by the band; recording (mixing/mastering) and artwork (original woodcuts). Now available on 12” vinyl, cassette and digital via Side Two Records, Forces of Nature's Transformation is both a continuation and evolution of LIFELESS DARK's vision—a soundtrack for the inevitable unraveling of the modern age.

    “For Progress…” serves as a mirror to a failing world. Continued environmental devastation, genocide, fascism, decaying civil liberties, algorithmic surveillance, new and ever-evolving weapons of the War Machine. And for what? Progress? Progress in their hands is a death sentence. Nine songs of hardcore punk in its most primal, stripped down and rawest form; channeling the ferocity and focused chaos of forbearers such as Discharge, Varukers, Disclose, et al; a stark reminder that straightforward, earsplitting cries of frustration and dissent remain vital as ever in this era of despair, as there are more reasons than ever to fight back.

    RED CROSS | 1981-1982 no message | LP

    Out of stock

    For starters, don't let the name fool you, this is Richmond, VA - not L.A. Coinciding with the beginning of the 1980s, the spread of punk's mutation into the harsher exertion known as hardcore punk began to spill across the continental United States. The music was becoming harder and faster, straying from the style and formula that some of the younger participants were starting to grow bored of and Richmond was no exception to this phenomena. Following the 1981 implosions of local punk groups MOD SUBS (see Beach Impediment Records #6) and DISRUPTERS, the illustrious Mike Rodriguez formed RED CROSS alongside friends Frank Gresham, Scott Price and Alford Faulknier. Their mission: to create and play hardcore punk adhering to the motto of "LOUD FAST RULES" and they did just that! The next year or so saw the band leaving a trail of broken glass and harshed mellows throughout the greater metropolitan Richmond area, to put it lightly. In early 1982, the boys entered Studio 2 at Union Theological Seminary under the cover of night to record 12 tracks that were intended to be the band's debut 12". Alas, as bands tend to do, they eventually broke up due to internal conflicts, which led to the almost immediate formation of Richmond legends WHITE CROSS; arguably the final form of Mikey Rod's drive to create fast, hard and ugly music. The WHITE CROSS fellas would carry the torch of Richmond Hardcore Punk all over this country for the next few years - but that is another story for another time, bud! As you might have guessed, the aforementioned break up left the aforementioned recording in a limbo of sorts, seemingly doomed to never reach the ears of the public. Having a sense of pride for the hard work and creative process that led to the recording session in question, vocalist Frank Gresham did not want to have this session completely lost to the sands of time, leading to the creation of somewhere between 50-100 cassette tapes featuring the studio recording, a live reimagined rendition of a John Cale classic and a radio advertisement that the band ran as promotion to close it all out. With this last will and testament of early USHC in the Richmond area being spread among a small number of friends and fans, Franky left it at that, eventually moving on up to NYC. In the decades that followed, local hardcore punk enthusiasts had heard tales of this band and the elusive tape documenting their existence with fewer having ever even seen one in the wild. At long last, after 40+ years in obscurity, Beach Impediment is proud to present this long lost posthumous release of sorts, remastered from the original reel and accompanied by a 16 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes by surviving members Frank Gresham and Scott Price along with archival imagery related to the band and their brief but impactful existence in a sleepy southern town.
