The Lewd - Kill Yourself... Again

The month ends with S.F. punk legends The Lewd and their own brand of "insanitainment". Originally forming in Seattle, they moved to Frisco in '79. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Artistic Decline - Random Violence

Nothing much to say here but Classic L.A. Punk. Period. This isn't quite all their songs, but it's close.

Willful Neglect - 1982-1984

This post is for my old pal Francisco. He's been begging for this one. Willful Neglect came from St Paul, Minnesota. They started in 1981 and released two great EPs before splitting in '84. Apparently a 3rd (less hardcore) album was recorded but never released. Six songs from that LP can be found on this 2003 comp, as well as both their 12" EPs. Great band playing some tight hardcore. Enjoy one and all... but mostly Francisco!

Same Old Bullshit

Death Piggy - Smile Or Die!!!

Before Gwar there was Death Piggy. Wacky, goofy, silly Death Piggy. Here's the collection of all 3 7"s they released. Interesting to say the least. Mayonnaise!

U.S. Chaos - Complete Chaos

Another band that had an all too brief recorded history was U.S.Chaos. And here it is. All 8 songs. Along with two live tracks and 3 songs from their late 90's rebirth. They did release a new LP after this as well as a split 7", but I haven't heard them yet. Let's see if anyone out there can help the good doctor change this.

White Cross - Deaf, Dumb & Blind

Richmond, Virginia's White Cross had an all too brief history in the early 80's. They released a good 7" in 1982 and a great 12" in 1983. And then they were gone. Most moving on to one of my personal favorites, Mudd Helmüt. In 1995 the great Grand Theft Audio released this CD which contains the 7" and the 12" along with (say it with me now) some demo and live tracks. However, what makes this collection great is the inclusion of their unreleased LP.

F.U.'s - The Origin Of The Straw Dogs + Revenge

Boston legends The F.U.'s released some classic early 80's hardcore before becoming the slower, more rockin' Straw Dogs in the mid 80's. The early 90's saw two releases that chronicled their history. The first contains 'Kill For Christ', comp tracks and an entire live show from 1984. The second has their 2 full length releases.
