The Offenders - Died In Custody / We Must Rebel

Here's the first album from The Offenders (the second is listed below). Hailing from Austin, Texas they are one of the most under appreciated hardcore bands from the early 80s.

SST Records - Blasting Concept Vol.II

SST Records were an American independent record label formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California by musician Greg Ginn. The company was initially called Solid State Transmitters through which Ginn sold electronics equipment. Ginn repurposed the company as a record label to release material by his band Black Flag. SST released many key albums that were instrumental in the development of American alternative rock, including releases by the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. This is volume two of the two part series. I don't think this album is as good as volume one but it still has some excellent tracks on.

Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry

UPDATE: I've re-ripped it from a different tape so the quality of this download is better. It's still from a 25 year old tape though :)

LATEST UPDATE: The Old Punk has given me some good news about this. Someone by the name of Paco has released a vinyl pressing of this classic. It's only £6 plus a bit for postage. It comes with a poster and a copy of the original booklet too. Get it here - La Vida Es En Mus.

A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night was the first release from Blyth Power. It was originally released on cassette in 1984 so the actual quality of the files is not exactly perfect.

Blyth Power are a British 'folk punk' band formed in 1983 by singer/drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob.

Blyth Power's music shows strong influences from punk rock and folk music, and the band members have described their sound as a cross between The Clash, Steeleye Span and The Rubettes.

Hit Parade - Bad News / Plastic Culture EPs (Crass Records)

Here is a re-post of the Bad News and Plastic Culture EPs by Hit Parade. The downloads are in FLAC or 320kbps mp3 format so just grab whichever one you want.

Hit Parade was Dave Hyndman from Belfast, with occassional assistance by members of Crass on backing vocals but mostly it was Dave. The Bad News EP was released in 1983 on Crass Records and rather than guitars, bass and drums it uses drum boxes and samplers. There is also a second EP, Plastic Culture which was released in 1984 that contains extended versions of a couple of tracks. In fact Media Song is basically an extended version/remix of Bad News from the first EP.

[MP3 FORMAT] DOWNLOAD THE HIT PARADE COLLECTION

(text from Southern Records)
This record exposes the tyranny of the British Government's attacks on Northern Ireland. Borrowing from Outta Control: Paper of the Belfast Anarchists, the record sleeve/poster details the atrocities of prisons in which "political criminals" are locked up for speaking out against the unjust, violent sectarian state which has long ignored outcries from its inhabitants. The sleeve/poster pictures those who died in peaceful demonstrations and hunger strikes, specifically, the "H Block" hunger strike. "Britains role in Northern Ireland, both on the streets and in legislative methods is clearly repressive and designed to keep in check a rebellious section of the population...which seeks to take control of and responsibility for its own future.

AS LONG AS POPULATIONS ARE UNABLE TO TAKE A UNITED STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION, THEY WILL REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO IT.

Here's the tracklistings...

BAD NEWS EP
01) Here's What You Find In Any Prison
02) More Faces

04) H Block

D&V - Inspiration LP & Nearest Door EP (Crass Records)

Here's a rip of both releases by D&V on Crass Records. D&V only consisted of Andy Leach on drums and Jef Antcliffe on vocals, hence the name D&V (Drums & Vocals). This download consists of The Nearest Door EP which was released in 1983 and the hugely titled album Inspiration Gave Them The Motivation To Move On Out Of Their Isolation which was released in 1985. I hadn't heard the album in about 20 years and I was pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed it when I ripped it. The backing tracks were arranged and played by Penny Rimbaud using samples built up from vocal and percussive sources and the vocals of Eve Libertine & Joy de Vivre. Frankly it's pretty experimental in places but considering it's basically drums & vocals they've done a really good job.

A special mention goes to The Saucer People for reminding me about D&V and to The Loftmonkey for sending me the vinyl (check out his ebay shop over to the right or just click here).

Grindcore Collection

Here's another compilation for your listening pleasure. This one's a selection of various different grindcore bands though there's also a bit of crust mixed in as well. Though whatever genre you want to call it this is all full on, blazing fast, brutal hardcore. Not for the faint hearted :)

I'd also like to thank the mighty Brutal Truth who tweeted this comp when it was first up :)

Grindcore is an extreme genre of music that started in the early to mid 1980s. It draws inspiration from some of the most abrasive music genres - including death metal, industrial music, noise and the more extreme varieties of hardcore punk.

Gorilla Biscuits - 1987 Demo

Here is a download of a demo from 1987 by the hardcore punk band, Gorilla Biscuits. The band consist of Anthony "Civ" Civarelli, Walter Schreifels, Arthur Smilios, Alex Brown and Luke Abbey. Gorilla Biscuits is currently signed to Revelation Records. Apparently their name comes from the drug quaaludes, which people called "ape shit" or "gorilla biscuits" due to the pill's large size. Though the name was only meant to be temporary they have continued to use it.

Minor Threat - Demo's, Rehearsals & More

Here's a selection of demo's, rehearsals and alternate versions of tracks by Minor Threat. Included in the download is a rehearsal from 1981 done in the living room at their home, Dischord House. Apparently the original source was recorded on a Maxwell normal bias UR 90 cassette. There is also a copy of their first demo tape which was recorded in 1981 and then released in 2003. There is also an 'alternate mix' version of the Out Of Step album and finally I've also included another collection of demos that was released in 2001 as a split album with Youth Brigade (I've included the Youth Brigade tracks as well). Obviously some of the quality isn't great but you've already got the discography CD so I thought I'd post up some more obscure stuff.

Minor Threat were an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1980 in Washington, D.C.. The band split in 1983 & even though they were fairly short-lived they had a massive influence on the hardcore punk scene, both stylistically & in establishing a "do it yourself" ethic for music distribution & concert promotion. Their song "Straight Edge" became the eventual basis of the straight edge movement, while the band often professed their own "straight edge" ideals.

Slayer - Undisputed Attitude

Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. The album is mainly a collection of punk covers of bands like Minor Threat, T.S.O.L. & D.R.I.. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman used two of the four punk songs he had written in 1984 and 1985 as part of a side project called Pap Smear, while King and vocalist Tom Araya wrote an original song titled "Gemini". I've also included a few other cover songs that Slayer have done... and some of those are definitely worth hearing. In fact this is basically Slayer playing 'us-style' hardcore punk & it's fucking great ;)

Bad Brains - Black Dots (1979 Demo's)

This download is the remastered demo's by Bad Brains recorded in 1979. Bad Brains are a hardcore punk band from the United States formed in Washington, D.C. in 1977. They are widely regarded as among the pioneers of hardcore punk but they are also an adept reggae band.

This demo is basically the band's first full length session of any kind in a recording studio. It was recorded in Don Zientara's basement which had a four track Teac 1/4" tape deck and a small drum booth to one side of the basement. The track list represents all of the band's songs, their first month's output, starting with the first song the band ever wrote, "Don't Need It." As is true with all 4 track recordings some decisions were made "going to tape", most notable is the eerie reverb on the drums, and these choices are forever a part of the mix.
