V/A - The Sound Of Oi

We end the month with another classic Oi! compilation. This one from 1987. Yeah, you know who's on it. All the big boys. And by the way, Cock Sparrer, I don't know... you tell me!

Oi!

Please Help!!

So, my favorite website of all time, Kill From The Heart, has inexplicably gone silent. Does anyone out there know a way I can contact the owners/creators? That is an incredibly valuable resource and I think it MUST stay online.I'd be willing to help achieve this in any way possible.

Update: Thanks for the leads. I'm waiting, hoping to hear something back from the email.

V/A - Death To False Metal

Ok, get ready to throw those horns, because today we have a masterpiece. Sure, it's filled mostly with bands you may have never heard of. But I'm willing to bet you've heard the songs! 90's punk covers 80's metal!! Yes, it is that good! I mean come on, they even include a cover version of Celtic Frost's 'Procreation Of The Wicked' recorded by two different bands. One plays in the left speaker and one in the right.. simultaneously! Just magical I tell ya. There is a Volume 2 out there so if anyone has it... PLEASE!!

V/A - Chunks

So way back in the earliest of 80's New Alliance Records put out two really good compilations: Cracks In The Sidewalk, which I don't have, and Chunks. What they both deliver is a veritable who's who (and in some cases 'who's this?') of artists that defined New Alliance and later SST Records.

V/A - What Doesn't Hurt Us Makes Us Stronger

Here's a decent international collection released on German label Destiny Records in 1985. Some heavyweights and some lesser knowns. Well worth it.

V/A - 'Mortarhate' Compilations

Mortarhate records was/is a record label created by UK anarcho punks Conflict. During 1984 and 1985 Mortarhate (and their sub-label 'Fight Back') released these four powerful compilations. I'm not sure if these four releases can truly be considered a "series", but I'm calling them the Mortarhate Comps. Lots and lots of music for your Wednesday ears.

War!

Law!

V/A - 'Puget Power' Compilations

There was some good chunky (and maybe a little sloppy) punk rock coming out of the Pacific Northwest in the early 90's. Conspicuously absent is Vol. 1. Actually I believe they ended up releasing Five 'Puget Power' 7"s. If anyone out there can help, I'll toss them up here and complete the collection. Thanks to François we can now enjoy the ENTIRE collection. Thank you, good sir!
