The Underachievers - Skip The Salad Bar Demo

This Thanksgiving we're skipping the salad bar and heading straight to the hardcore. That made little to no sense but what's done is done. Straight ahead NJ hardcore with mostly goofy lyrics.

I Wouldn't Fuck You With Reagan's Dick

Saud - Saud Is Dead

I stumbled upon this tape, and TONS others on the great Hawaii Punk Museum site. I strongly recommend a visit. I also strongly recommend downloading this. Fast hardcore with just a slight metal tinge.

Outta My Way, You Can't Make Me Pray

Abortion Squad - Hardcore '83

East Coast Hardcore today. New Hampshire to be exact. Technically, I think this is a CD reissue of their 1983 cassette. But I won't tell anyone if you won't.

But I Didn't Want A Baby

Blood Lake - Sink Or Swim Baby

Blood Lake was another California band. I first discovered them during the great BCT quest. They appeared on #24, Car Crash Music. I then asked you fine people if anyone had any more and here it is. Damn good punch-in-the-face hardcore.

I Will Fight Fight Fight

Half Off - Same Old Story

We're going to go a little deeper into the vaults today. At least deep in my vault. Over the next few days I'm going to be posting tapes from bands that I had never heard of back in the day, but discovered through the magic of Blogging. And we start with the southern Cali band Half Off. Or 1/2 Off. Or, if you know the neat little "Alt+0189" trick, ½ Off. Good hardcore here. Enjoy!

I Won't Change For You

Subhumans - Demolition War Parts I-III

Here is what I believe to be the very first release from the legendary Subhumans. Not to be confused withe their debut vinyl, also called Demolition War. So I guess that'd be Part IV. Anyway, this one puts together live tracks from two diffferent shows as well as well as practice tracks. Shit like this really makes me nostalgic. A great tape, indeed.

Nothing I Can Do

Rövsvett ‎– Hunden Beskyddar Människan, Men Vem Beskyddar Hunden ?? Demo

Rövsvett blasts some sloppy no-frills hardcore from Sweden. And I use the terms 'sloppy' and no-frills' complimentarily. Google Translate tells me the English translation for the title is "The Dog Protects The Human, But Who Protects The Dog??". So, coupled with the excellent tape cover, their sense of humor is there.
