Defector - "Ultra Noize Violence" 7"

Noisy as fuck debut 7" from Defector from Japan (Crust War 014). Pretty insane how much people are paying for this record now.... 2nd 7" is much better but they're still a bit overrated in my eyes. I prefer LIFE and FRAMTID myself.... I do like the fact though that one guy plays "METAL PENIS" while another member plays the "NOISE PENIS." Both are very hard instruments to master.

This came as a bonus 7"with Crust War Zine #8. The pictures above are actually from a "cover" that's inside the zine itself as the 7" was just in a white dust sleeve. So I guess you were supposed to cut it out and use it for the cover (even has dotted lines along where you're supposed to cut) but I just made a xerox copy and put my 7" in that because I'm a fucking nerd and I don't cut up zines/records like that.

Seriously....

C'mon. What the fuck is this shit? It's supposed to be a sheep. Not a bison.

In other news.... I got some cool ass BLACK FLAG and X buttons from the 80s and also a cool STITCHES button in Pasadena along with a ton of Kurt Vonnegut books for $1 a piece.

Stuff that I'll post soon = more PDX stuff (DEATHCHARGE, FINAL MASSAKRE) and more Japanese stuff (FINAL BLOODBATH, DEFECTOR 1st 7").

Life – “The World Lies Across Them” LP

Excellent crusty hardcore from Japan with a drummer doing some serious rolls all over every track. These guys have actually been around and playing in Japan for years now (probably going back to the early 90s?) and are still currently active. Solid Japanese hardcore/punk (with some occasional hints of metal wankery) that I could see Japanese kids thrashing around to with huge smiles on their faces. This LP was released probably around 2000 but I think I picked mine up a few years after that from Stuart Schrader's excellent distro (what happened to Crust War USA?). Released on the band's own Punk Bastard records. Check it out and I'll also try to upload the 7" I have from them.

Laukaus – “Mika On Tuolla?” EP

Six tracks of hardcore Finnish punk by way of Japan released around 2002 or so. The Japanese are the kings of reproducing musical styles and then spitting them back at us...... This actually could almost pass as a punk record from Finland (and definitely sounds better than most modern Finnish punk). I know they also had a 12" (which I plan on posting up soon too) and another 7" which I, unfortunately, do not own. Oh well. Enjoy.

HjerteStop-"Aarh, fuck... Der Er Hjertestop!" EP

Another classic on Kick'N'Punch records (this blog is slowly turning into a blog split evenly between Japan, Denmark and PDX I think.... hmmm.). This is a perfect mix of the APA style retro hardcore tuneage plus some of those melodies/hooks from the other KNP/HJERNESPIND bands. I like how the band photo is superimposed to make them look like they are rocking out in front of some blown out building complete with coffins/skeletons. Also a nice back cover photo of a bare-assed punk wearing a leather jacket featuring... a bare-assed punk wearing a leather jacket! Groovy. Best song title: 1-800-SUICIDE-CLUB.... please make sure to call that number if you like to listen to crap like GOOD CHARLOTTE.

Reality Crisis/Avskum - "Waiting For Another Bloodbath" split 10"

Split 10" released a few years back on Answer Records (Japan). I think this one's a little tough to find nowadays..... Anyways, I'm not a fan of AVSKUM (or much current punk from Sweden with the exception of TOTALITAR or SKITKIDS) and I really only own this and bothered to upload it for the amazing REALITY CRISIS. I listened a bit to AVSKUM while recording this and it sounds like later period POISON IDEA to me (not that that's a bad thing just sayin'...). REALITY CRISIS is total blown out Japanese dual-vocalled crust/hardcore that mixes noisy peace punk with maybe DOOM/E.N.T. (but not total DOOM worship stuff like fellow Japanese crusties ABRAHAM CROSS). REALITY CRISIS was also really great live... one of their singers is a fuckin' maniac!

Incontrollados-"Hvem Vil Det Gavne?" EP

Excellent hardcore punk on the Kick'N'Punch label (R.I.P.!!!) from 2001 (not sure but that's the recording date at least). This is more along the lines of AMDI PETERSENS ARME meaning that it's straightforward U.S. style hardcore as opposed to the more "punky" stuff coming out of Denmark at the same time.... this is just as good in my opinion as APA but for some reason no one ever talks about this band or EP much. Maybe no one likes the cover since it looks similar to that REPLACEMENTS album cover? Anyways, check out the boss guitar sound and FYI "Det er OK at vaere grim" translates to "It's OK to be ugly". Close your eyes and imagine it is 1981......

Repercussions - “11 Songs” 12"

11 song 12" EP released on 540 Records out of Texas in 2007 (I think?). One of them supergroups that only gets together every so often to record and play shows since some of the members live in different parts of the country. Features the guitarist from DEATHREAT and the vocalist from cult band COLD SWEAT..... which pretty much ends up sounding like the perfect mix of both bands. I could definitely see these songs having ended up on a DEATHREAT release.... straight-forward US hardcore with pissed off vocals and angry lyrics.

I saw these guys play at Chaos in Tejas 2007 but the best memory I have related to this band is the singer of REPERCUSSIONS playing "bodyguard" for some shitty band called DROPOUT on the first night of the fest. It was their "reunion" show even though I had never heard of them.... and with good reason since they really sucked. Anyways, while DROPOUT was playing the vocalist from REPERCUSSIONS was standing on the stage with his arms crossed and rocking a tough guy pose while protecting the band or something. Eventually, everyone in the audience got sick of the crappy band and their stupid lame vocalist..... someone grabbed a trashcan and threw it square at the singer's face (I guess they were in a GORDON SOLIE type of mood? They were a little early since they weren't playing until 2 nights later....). The funniest part though was when the singer for DROPOUT got popped in the face, Mr. Bodyguard (REPERCUSSIONS vocalist) busted out laughing at the dude too. Once he realized he was supposed to be serious or something he busted out his angry face again and went back to playing bodyguard. Good times.....
