Only lonely release of this ultra thick, bassy, borderline hardcore Swedish punk band...
Breakouts - "In Vagueness Deal" 7" 1979, "Waiting For A Change" 7" 1980, "No More" 12" 1983
'Frisco KBD angst-machine, P-U-N-K as F-U-C-K n' R-A-G-N-A-R-O-C-K-I-N'!!!
City Hunter - Discography 2013-2018 (LP Flac, Demos 320)
Serial killer themed experimental hardcore (metal-free...save the 10" blades embedded in their victim's rib cages, vaginas, eye sockets et al). The sometimes Siege-length musick feels as cruel as their topics, with Th' Nigga Mahler likening them to a sociopathic Septic Death, and most others not being able to compare their level of viciousness to any other punk band at all. Hands down (because they were sawn off) one of the most original projects I've heard in the past decade!
Expo - "Do The Expo!" CD Version 1987
Incohate "chip tune" (maybe one of the very first) sprinkled atop the flan of Japan's notorious "City" genre. Whimsical...and bizarre!!!
Crystal Meth - "Les Akkros" 12" 2001
Industrial-doomcore from the founder of "B.E.A.S.T. Records", like binging Black Mirror while sipping lab-grade L.S.D. (with a Red Vine straw). Best track: "Mass Destruction Theater"...
Rot (Japan) - "Intense Noisecore" 88-91 CD 1992 (Flac)
The guitars drill brains, but this is really S.O.B.-thrash interpolated with cheery straight hardcore. I remember when this came out that people didn't seem to know what to do with it (Japcore just wasn't a "thing" yet)...and still don't, Discogs is loaded with mint copies for less than a bowl of bat sou-OOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!😮
Gouka/Daston - Split Tape & Split EP 95/96 (With Demo Scans)
Disposable "MCR-comp-hardcore" that nourishes me nonetheless (especially Gouka, who hadn't incorporated d-beat into their sound here yet...weird, because that cover art, and there's no "noise" between the bands either)...
Punjena Papiga ("Stuffed Parrot") - "Muzika Nije Punk" CDR 2009
Croatian noisecore-lite! The band seems to pull more influence from their Eastern-Bloc ancestors than the teenage spazzes of Kyushu, but there's such an excitable one-twoness to the songs and ugly crinkle on the guitar (the bass is reminiscent of Dust Noise as well) that I'm allowing them entry into the well-buttered orgy pit of all things Japanese...WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT!!!
Throbbing Gristle (& Albrecht D.) - "Music From The Death Factory" Tape 1976 & "Live Boxset" 4xCD 1993 (All With Scans)
Heavily edited from the ripper...
"In 1974/1975 C.O.U.M was transforming into Throbbing Gristle. Before Sleazy joined in 1976, Albrecht lived and performed with T.G. at the Death Factory. At least three hours of those sessions survived on cassette...one tape includes performances recorded on the 12th and 18th of June 1976, probably without Albrecht playing (though he recorded, produced and edited the tape). The second tape originates from the 23rd of July 1976 and includes Albrecht on drums. You are about to hear the third and final session, a one hour performance that took place on the 30th of July 1976 and included Albrecht on drums again."
[Albrecht kept the tape available into the late 1990s, this may be a rip from one of those later copies. I've had this since 2007, and am mostly certain I acquired it from the long dead "Mutant Sounds Blog." --S]
