Curt McGirt Posted June 26 Author Posted June 26 I finally bent over, opened wide (both ends) and got ahold of the first LP by the now-legendary Limp Wrist. https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/18-tracks-lp Mmmm... thick and creamy. 1
Curt McGirt Posted July 12 Author Posted July 12 I've been very loose with cash the last week and grabbed a lot of stuff, but specifically for this thread I got X's Wild Gift, which I should have had for years, and the Buka I Urlik comp of Yugoslavian hardcore from the late '80s. It sounds like it was recorded on a boombox but it's so good. The last band Solunski Front is so good and somehow they even cover the William Tell Overture (?!).
Curt McGirt Posted July 13 Author Posted July 13 Yeah, they're retiring and going on a final run. They deserve it. That comedy bit with all the old punks that that one comedian did (I'm blanking. He's good.) had Exene, John and even DJ Bonebrake in it and they're looking up there. I didn't identify DJ at all until his name came on the screen. Billy Zoom is absolutely ancient by now; that dude was a gun for hire for touring bands for years as a young guitarist. Hell, you should see Lee Ving from Fear on that! Here's the Yugo punk comp I brought up. Herpes Distress is such a great name for a punk band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lehQAHPu0Kk Now some new stuff. This is Faucheuse from Franch. They're like a rockin, Totalitar/Skitkids style D-beat band with female vocals like another great French band, La Fraction. Great stuff. https://faucheuse.bandcamp.com/album/r-ve-lectrique Also grabbed the lastest from Physique, a killer crasher crust band from Olympia. That style had me totally burned out on it from all the Framtid imitators but their stuff has a really cool use of tempo changes and different distortion sounds and levels. Their last album was such an ass-stomper that I bought two more of theirs (missing some though and didn't think I did until now, dammit). https://physique.bandcamp.com/album/overcome-by-pain 2
Curt McGirt Posted July 13 Author Posted July 13 Oops. I forgot to mention I FINALLY bought a Minutemen record, The Punch Line. Yes I don't have Double Nickels. Sue me. 1
Curt McGirt Posted July 15 Author Posted July 15 Also got this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Hrmb2_V8c Sin 34, early LA hardcore with a female singer. They were really early and got lost in the mix. Lots of shows with Black Flag, who they were faster than! 2
zendragon Posted July 15 Posted July 15 No-Cut - Tragic A Present 1983 Demo (Japanese Hardcore Punk) (youtube.com) 1
Curt McGirt Posted July 16 Author Posted July 16 There is a DVD of classic GISM footage in excellent quality coming out. It'll probably be like $60, more or less, but totally worth it to watch Sakevi attacking crowds with road flares and shit. The excellent label General Speech (you REALLY need to check out their stuff, because they don't put out any punk that is less than stellar) will have it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD0elTHWMCE&ab_channel=P.P.P.project 2
southofheavy Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Curt, you are doing the dark lord's work in here. Thank you so much. 1
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I saw that on the hardcore board I post on. Definitely thinking about picking that up. 1
twiztor Posted August 6 Posted August 6 so, i watched SLC Punk for the first time in probably 15 years last night. Man, i had forgotten all about this flick. rented it a couple times in high school and LOVED it, but it just kinda floated out of my consciousness. It hits in a completely different way at over 40 than it did at under 20.
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted August 6 Posted August 6 SLC Punk and KIDS were two movies that I watched a ton in high school that I haven't really watched since. I haven't seen the sequel either but I'm curious to see how it ages at this point.
Curt McGirt Posted August 6 Author Posted August 6 I'd like to see it again too. It was a favorite of my punk friends back in my 20s and that's how I was introduced to it.
Curt McGirt Posted August 7 Author Posted August 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCWZNXbpOQ New Poison Ruin. I'm not sure how to describe this yet. Some of it sounds like French Oi!, some of it sounds like Swedish HC, some of it sounds like crust? I am baffled. It's good though. 1
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted August 7 Posted August 7 A little less heavy than most of the hardcore we've been discussing in here but Sunami announced a tour yesterday and I'm very pumped to see them in Detroit or Columbus. Haven't been to a show since Against Me! I'm 2018
Curt McGirt Posted August 26 Author Posted August 26 In the last couple days I've gotten 1. The Bags - All Bagged Up... The Collected Works 1977-1980 (this is a revelation since I never expected ANYTHING more than what we've already seen to be collected) 2. Electro-Hippies - The Only Good Punk... Is A Dead Punk (which is as metal as it is punk, so basically, crust) 3. Various Artists - SUB (Brazilian hardcore punk comp featuring Ratos de Porao and Colera among others -- killer) 4. Besthoven - Planet Guerra (some of Fofao's best material https://besthoven.bandcamp.com/album/planeta-guerra-lp-2023) 5. Concrete Sox - Your Turn Next (same story as with Electro-Hippies) 6. The Stalin - Stop Jap I would highly recommend looking up any and all of these. If I had to pick one out of all of these as top it miiiiiight actually be the SUB comp. All four bands seem to have gotten the same recording session, so it sounds like a solid soundboard tape instead of four bands that sound entirely different like the Yugoslavian HC comps I've been getting in recently, where one band will sound solid and the others will sound like the drums are wet cardboard and they're playing in a closed closet away from the mic. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I love that shit. But Brazilian bands from that era were extremely poor monetarily and you can hear it in the recordings, so having the same sound is pretty awesome actually. 1
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 https://carcinogenchs.bandcamp.com/album/demo Going through a bunch of demos from this year and here's a really good power violence band. 1
Curt McGirt Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 Yeah, that's real solid. PV is hard to get right. Bonus points for the Leonard Cohen shirt and Bukowski sample haha
Curt McGirt Posted October 26 Author Posted October 26 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NvJW21JfCRo Holy shit. Life put out my favorite album of 2020, when the whole world was disintegrating and it felt like they were nailing every single thing happening right then (and they still are). This one is another monster. Destruct have also been one of the best crasher crust/Framtid-worship bands of the last decade in the United States, and they smoke everything on their side too. Go buy it from Desolate Records! It has an absolutely enormous poster that in the Crass days would be the inside of the slipcover sleeve (not that that isn't still happening -- see the band Flower, for example, another super high recommendation from me). 1
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted November 15 Posted November 15 I wish I could say "I don't know how I missed this" but I can because the time it came out is a blur, so I'm just now hearing D-Clone. https://youtu.be/kp-CPmEHqXc?si=LEH7aGcBnMED6hFS It might be the wildest thing that I have heard that I would still classify as traditional music. Of course it's beyond out of print.
