Bruce Banner - I Love Fucked Up Noise ep - 2000

Bruce Banner is a fast-as-fuck hardcore punk band from Stockholm, Sweden, that's been around since the year 2000. The quintet is made up by a bunch of guys who already have made their marks in the Swedish hardcore scene. Vocalist Per Thunell and guitarist Daniel Hammare was in legendary grindcore outfit Filthy Christians and Per Thunell was also in Protes Bengt. Second vocalist Christoffer "138" Jonsson played bass in DS-13 and Epileptic Terror Attack.

This ep was recorded at Sunlight Studio where such bands as Entombed and Dismember are frequent visitors and rightly so this ep packs a fair punch.

Admit Your Shit - 12 Inches Of A.Y.S - MLP - 1987

Also known as "Someplace Special". A bit of a weird one this, being that it has no song titles and no lyric sheet or any other info what so ever. Mortarhate had a tendency to skimp on the inserts. I don't know whether this was just the fact that Punk's are notoriously shit at getting anything together or some other more sinister reason. This 12 inch seems like a mish mash of multiple recordings with levels and sound jumping all over the place. You be the judge...

I didn't split the songs up due to the lack of song titles.

Wheelchair Wheelchair Wheelchair Wheelchair - Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas - 2008

I don't normally do request's but when Stuart from 4xWheelchair emailed me with his bands Yuletide demolition how the fuck could I refuse? Stripped down, ugly as fuck Power Violence with a distinct Christmas cheer. I got Stuart to give me a quick run down of the band...

"The band started a couple of months ago when I advertised for band mates for a power violence band in Glasgow. Bobby the drummer was the only serious response i got so we had a jam to see if it gelled. We were happy with it so we had another one and made a recording. For our 3rd practice we decided to record an ep for Christmas using lyrics i had written the night before. We jammed through a few ideas and the results are on "Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas". It's our Christmas present to fans of noisy shit!

as for who does what,

Stuart - guitar and vocals
Bobby - drums"

Get a hold of Stuart if you want to send him any presents, or abuse, it's your call.

Wasteland - Demo - 2008 (Unreleased) New Zealand

Wasteland are a young Hardcore band from my home town who play fast stripped down youthcore. Good bunch of guys who unfortunately are fucking hopeless at releasing shit. I recorded this for them way back in January yet they never got round to putting it out even though a lot of people were keen to hear it. I've decide to do it for them instead. They are currently recording a bunch of new material plus a couple of the songs from this release which hopefully will see the light of day. Check them out on myspace. Cover art was done by Stace and you can see her other cool shit on her DeviantArt site.

The Comes - Power Never Die - MLP 1986

The Comes from Tokyo were one of the first Japanese hardcore bands and their eleven song 12" entitled No Side is one of the best early punk records. The band first appeared on the Outsider compilation LP in 1982 along with such seminal Japanese outfits as GISM, Gauze, and Laughin Nose. No Side came out in 1984. The music was fast, rocking hardcore with melodic guitar and a totally insane woman on lead vocals. The songs on this LP combine these hell-shriek vocals, massive hooks, and the stop-start hardcore of Minor Threat, but Comes had a screeching, spastic energy unlike anything in the US. Their follow up LP, 1986's Power Never Die, is apparently a bad metal record. Too bad, but at least some members went on to be in the mighty Lip Cream and are probably still in some band or another. At least two bootleg singles have been put out, mostly recycling the No Side material, and the one to get is the split LP that combines No Side with GISM's Detestation LP (which, even in its bizarre glory, I think pales in comparison). Getting these two classics on one record is too good be true. No Side has also been booted onto CD recently. (Kill From The Heart)

You be the judge as to whether this is a "bad metal record" or not, I personally like this. Just wait for me to post Theatre Brook and Off Mask OO....

RoseRose - Skatehead '88 - ep 1986

Classic Japanese Thrash from the mid to late 80's from this long running band. This is killer stuff. Go check out "Mosh Of Ass" as well. They are as much a part of the Japanese Hardcore scene as Gauze, having existed for over 24 years. They are still pumping out the thrash today, check them out here.

Faction - You've Got The Fire - ep 1983

Classic UK Anarcho Punk featuring ex-A-Heads Vocalist Mel. Not a particular strong record but still worthy of a listen. Think of it as a less bubbly version of Hagar The Womb or The Lost Cherrees.
