Deep Wound - Self-Titled 7"

These guys, they got it right! This is an AMAZING hardcore 7". Unfortunately they would split up so J Mascis and Lou Barlow could find fame and fortune with Dinosaur Jr. But this, this is NOT Dinosaur Jr!

Not Another Cheap Escape

Crucifix - Nineteen Eighty Four 7"

Sadly, there is precious little Crucifix recordings. Damn they brought the heat! And this 7" is evidence of that.

I've Had Enough, I've Said Enough

Capitol Punishment - Self-Titled 7" (1992)

I just love this band. Especially their earliest stuff. This 7" is a collection of 1982 recordings released in 1992. So damn good.

Just Stand Up And Fight

Neon Christ - Self-Titled 7"

Classic early 80's Atlanta hardcore. After hearing, and loving their track on the P.E.A.C.E. compilation I couldn't wait to hear this 7". And I want to like it a lot more than I do. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad by any means. Just not great. Not sure what the problem is.

I'm A Bad Influence On All My Friends

Puke - Back To The 30:s 7"

If you're in the mood for some good fast Swedish punk rock grab this baby. Originally released in 1985.

Tårthjärnor

Vorkriegsphase - Scheiss Krieg 7"

Loud and chaotic German hardcore from 1983. There is also a definite 'd-beat' crunch. Great stuff. Crank this up if your ears have pissed you off lately.

Scheißegal

Shattered Faith - I Love America 7"

Let's continue with classic LA hardcore. Shattered Faith released this debut single in 1981. Great stuff!

We'll Just Have To Wait And See

Modern Warfare - Dayglo Shadows Delivered 7"

We got some classic LA punk for you today. Modern Warfare released this cleverly titled debut 7" in 1980. And it delivers exactly what you would expect.

I'm Living In The Shadows

Broken Bones - Crucifix 7"

The Roberts brothers left Discharge in 1983 and formed Broken Bones. Discharge's lost is the worlds gain. Here's their 7" from 1984.

Amen

Discharge - Decontrol 7"

Damn this stuff is good. There's just a raw intensity that can't be beat. This was 7" #3 and delivers three scorching tracks.

No No TV Sketch

Mau Mau's - Tear Down The Walls 7"

Another 7" of good, mean UK hardcore. This one's from 1984.

Make The Fight, Do It Now

Rudimentary Peni - The E.P.'s Of R.P.

Anarcho anti-gods Rudimentary Peni combined their first two 7"s for this blistering CD. 'Farce' is such a great release. Evil in all the right ways.

God Is Nothing More Than An Obsessive Lie

Rebels & Infidels - Gov't Primer 7"

So, Rebels & Infidels were a really cool band out of Northern California. They started as Scream and released a debut 7". When they changed their name to R&I they re-released it with that name. A cool 4 song 7" from 1982.

They Can Just Go Screw

Lepers - Evil Music 7"

The Lepers were a cool, no frills punk band from Colorado. They only released 3 7 inchers in their time. This is their first, from 1983.

Satan Helped Me Write This Song

The Faction - Yesterday Is Gone 7"

Another great Faction release. This is actually their debut 7" from 1983.

Bullets Are Faster Than Words

Massacre Guys - The Rider 7"

Now this is a band that I wish released a bunch more stuff. But nope, all we got was a debut 7" in 1984 and this 1985 follow up. Pity.

The Living End Is The Living End

Bazooka Joe - Send In The Klowns 7"

Staying on the eastern seaboard we head down to South Carolina. Bazooka Joe only released two 7"s. This is their second, from 1989. Good fun hardcore.

I Wanna Make Money Being Funny

The Landlords - Our Favorite Songs! 7"

By request, here's a fantastic 7" of cover tunes from VA's The Landlords. What a great choice 'The Night Chicago Died' was!

I Heard My Mama Cry

8th Route Army - No Leaders 7"

8th Route Army from Western Massachusetts releases this single of somewhat uneventful punk in 1984. Not saying it's bad, tho.

We're Not Alone

Sadistic Exploits - Anarchy For Freedom 7"

Sadistic Exploits were a band from Philly. This is their only proper release, a single from 1982.

Oh, You Gotta Try Anarchy

N.O.T.A. - Hell Hole 7"

Oklahoma's N.O.T.A. originally broke up in the late 80's but came back in the mid-90's with this 3 song ripper. Very reminiscent of their early days.

I'm A Basket Case

A Quick Note

As I've been incredibly busy in my real life I've been unable to reply to comments, repost dead links, fulfill requests, etc. That will hopefully change this month. So, apologies and all that other nonsense. Keep commenting and requesting. I'll do what I can...

Poison Idea - Taken By Surprise 7"

It's hot as hell here so that must mean it's time once again for Seven Inches Of Summer!

To kick things off we have Poison Idea's Sub-Pop single from 1990. The great track 'Taken By Surprise' backed with an excellent cover of the Go Go's classic.
