Juventud Podrida - "1989" 7" 2012 (With Scans)

"Juventud Podrida (Spanish for 'Rotten Youth') is a Panamanian crust punk band formed in 2007, they are the first band of its genre in their country. The members are Rodolfo Alem•n (vocals), Jose Arosemena (guitar), Sean McNally (drums), and Joshua Rodin (bass). The band marked a milestone in the history of Panamanian punk for its 'eccentricity', they embrace the idea to work under the DIY ethics and to release their music on vinyl, in a country where doing that is considered a financial disaster for any music group.

'1989' is the very first self-released punk record in Panama. It was recorded and engineered by David Colindres at 'Estudios Insomnio' in 2011 and released in 2012 by 'Lugica Ciega Records'. It was produced by David Colindres and Rodolfo Alem•n, the artwork was done by Jose Arosemena and Rodolfo Alem•n. The sampling on 'Los Demonios Del Norte' was extracted from the documentary 'The Panama Deception', the artwork was inspired by the United States invasion of Panama that occurred in 1989, never forget..."

The Fifth Path - Issues 1-5 (1991-1994)

 

Neo-gothic, post-pagan, industrial-folk, part-time-aryan, desktop-published legend (the layouts are seriously great, not mind-blowing, but noticeably administered with the same professionalism as the writing). Informative reads that sometimes outweigh the musical misanthropy with social/pop-historical commentary (without being histrionic or cringey). Lops on eBay are trying to sell pissed-on-yellow copies for 300 bucks, so it goes without saying I NEEDED TO PUNISH THEM...


Godflesh - Live Soundboard April 30th 1989 (Mahler's Rip), Live Soundboard May 8th 1989, Audience Recording Final Show Pre-Hiatus December 10th 2001


Extra special mentions to Mahler's rip, a S-O-U-L P-U-N-I-S-H-I-N-G set where the band...waaaaaaaaaaaay more than usual...cranked the knobs on literally everything just to see what would explode and what would merely catch fire (the audience and themselves included). One of the filthiest, rageful, and outright psychedelic performances the duo has ever given!!! "Crazier than Streetcleaner"...

Stunning...Brave...OUTO!


Jonathan Briley - "The Will To Power" Tape 1985, "Darker Profits" Tape 1985, "Loss Of Innocence" Tape 1986


"Industrial soloist also known for his collaborations with Sleep Chamber/Inner-X-Musick and 
connections to Broken Flag. An enigmatic figure, Briley seemingly quit all musical activity after 1989."

Browning Mummery - "Evidence Of Ritual" Tape 1983, "Oracles And Prescriptions" Tape 1983, "Obiter Scripta" Tape 1984 (FLACS)


"Pioneering 'pure' industrial project founded in 1983 by Andrew Lonsdale of Australia, as both a collaborative and solo entity for experimental aural constructs. Lonsdale began producing electronic music in Rockhampton in 1980, and after relocating to Sydney in 1981, became a vital part of that area's legendary early experimental/electronic scene. The Browning Mummery style is distinct and genre-defying, drawing on techniques from dub, improvisation, musique concrete, cut-up/collage, and dark ambient."

Blood - Demos '86-'88

Never go full grind-retard...I'd posted Blood's 5th demo in Selfish Few's first month of life, and insisted that I'd never heard the preceding recordings...only to find the lot of them nonchalantly sitting in my archives (I gotta digi-dust more often!). Anyway, more middle school metal than grinding death, and the rips aren't nearly as bad as the placement of the boomboxes that initially captured the...the, uh..."music".

Insect Warfare - "Noise Grind Power Death" 53 Track One Sided 12" 2009


AARRGGHH!!! GRANDSON OF ALL
ARSE-DESTROYING NOISECORE!!!

Disposer - 1999 Demo 1

Formerly hoarded lone release from this truly obscure noise-punk group (from Japan of course). They remind me of later Screaming Noise quite a bit, even sharing similar (though not as thin) production touches as that band's 2nd EP. Disposer is still wannabe Swankys-core, but smartly arranged for the style without any of the show-offy "look at how cooooool we are" easter eggs. Handsome schtuff that I'd enjoy far less pyrrhically if fucking tossers didn't treat it all like nuclear launch codes...

Inu - "Meshi Kuuna" LP 1981 & Live (Year? Alchemy LP?)

"Kō Machida (born 1962) is a Japanese author, punk rock singer, poet and actor. Machida formed a punk rock band called 'Inu' (dog) in 1978, for which he used the stage name 'Machida Machizō'. Inu released their first album, 'Meshi Kuuna!' in 1981. The band split shortly after the album was released. He went on to form a number of other bands, and though these subsequent projects earned reasonable critical acclaim, commercial success was limited."

The band was somewhere between a sort of frantic wave and anxious pop, with a few segues into Fear's type of art student experimental territory (a trait Aburadako shared). Very catchy tunes, though I'm hard pressed to label any of it "punk". My fave track still remains "Uncle And Aunt" (track three on the studio LP).
