ANTiSEEN - Raw Shit

Well, if it's the last day of the month it must be time for ANTiSEEN. Holy shit, I've managed to pull off a theme within a theme. I think I might need therapy. Anyhoo, here's their Raw Shit L.P., originally released in 1989. The first side is their debut 7" 'Drastic' and side 2 has outtakes and live tracks.

Ain't Gonna Stop

Poison Idea - War All The Time

Here is Poison Idea's 1987 offering. Apart from being another PI rager, it's the first release to feature Thee Slayer Hippy on drums.

The Noose Pulls Tight, A Perfect Fit

Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Frenzy

O.K., time to take a bit of a left turn today. Mojo Nixon certainly did not play hardcore music, but you could argue he shared the punk rock ethos. Tackling such "punk" topics as MTV (Stuffin' Martha's Muffin), financial institutions (I Hate Banks), the arms race (Gonna Put My Face On A Nuclear Bomb) and sleazy club owners (Where The Hell's My Money) albeit with childish humor. Phrases like "talliwacker" and "doo doo balls" are prevalent. There's even a couple great cover tunes too. If you haven't heard Mojo & Skid in a while, time to refresh your memory. And if you've NEVER heard Mojo & Skid, you NEED this!!!

If I Want Any Shit Outta You I'll Squeeze Your Head, Boy!

Offenders - We Must Rebel

Here's yet another GREAT hardcore L.P. Granted, I do think their I Hate Myself 7" is head and shoulders above anything else they did, this '83 release is damn good.

Don't Give In, Take A Stand, We Must Rebel

U.S. Chaos - We've Got The Weapons

I always liked this Jersey/D.C. band. Maybe a little controversial but hey, most of the great ones are. Here's their 1984 E.P.

Try And Stop Me, You're Never Gonna Change Me

Big Boys - Lullabies Help The Brain Grow

The Big Boys were an innovative, and incredibly entertaining band from Austin, Texas. Blazing fast hardcore with large doses of funk and jazz thrown in. Here's their '83 classic.

Baby Let's Play God

Subhumans - From The Cradle To The Grave

U.K.'s Subhumans tried something a little different on this 1984 L.P. Yes there's fast hardcore, but there's also a fair amount of slowed down tracks. And they even did the unthinkable, recorded a song lasting almost 17 minutes. This clearly paved the way for their later releases. Although I personally lost interest in their new sound I did love this L.P.
