Negazione - Lo Spirito Continua...

From artsy punk to thrashing hardcore. Italy's Negazione could bring it with the best of 'em. Here's their great 1986 release.

Un Amaro Sorriso

Mood Of Defiance - Now

Some artsy LA punk today. Definitely an interesting release. I mean... 2½ minutes of rainfall? All in all a good listen.

You're So Sweet You Make Me Sick

L.D.S. - Nightmare

I don't know too much about this Salt Lake City outfit. I do know they dig horror movies, though. Although not particularly groundbreaking, this 1986 release is a cool hardcore LP.

B-Grade Splatter, You Can Watch It For Hours

Kuro - Who The Helpless? + 10 Tracks

I have to think even the casual visitor around here is bound to know my feelings about 80's Japanese hardcore. Well, Kuro fits the bill quite nicely. This 2005 re-release is pretty self-explanatory. You'll find their 1984 LP plus... wait for it... 10 extra tracks from other sources. So great!

Human Clash

Jackshit - Hicktown 7"

So, we all know that 7 Seconds are straight edge legends, right? But from time to time that can get a little boring. So, when that happens what can you do? Well, in 1984 Kev and Steve grabbed some friends and released this 7" under the name Jackshit. Everything Jackshit is 7 Seconds isn't. Obnoxious fun.

Hey There Gimp

Instigators - Nobody Listens Anymore

Vegan-heavy Anarchists the Instigators played some great English punk throughout the 80's. This is their first "proper" full length release, from 1985.

You're Not Free!

Half Life - All Our Yesterdays

Time for some sludgy, bass-heavy punk rock from Pittsburgh's Half Life. This 2002 collection puts together a couple releases and comp tracks.
