Wards - "Ripped Off In Boston" Radiobeat Demo 1984 (Keller's Rip With Scans)
Edited from "Good/Bad"...
"The WARDS fourth and final release (after two wonderful 7″s and another demo). As you can see, this was recorded at Radio Beat Studios (Deep Wound etc.) and it seems likely from the title of the cassette, that the trip to Boston caused the band some trouble. KFTH has it the band-van was stolen in Boston (and the cover drawing seems to, well, illustrate this rather unpleasant event). The band never got much recognition when still around, but as soon as the Punk nostalgia took off in the beginning 90s, the WARDS became more popular. No wonder, since the band coined a sound of its own. Snotty, pissed, simple but overall pretty melancholic sounding with trademarks double vocals and a pretty tight guitar sound. You’ll see, as soon as the music blasts off, you’ll immediately recognize the typical WARDS sound. One or two more recordings and the WARDS would have taken an interesting development, I guess. I scanned the backside of the demo cover too, which has a letter from the band to me, giving some details." [Thuggy shit! --S]
Noriyasu – "Free 10 Inch Record" 10" 2010
POIGO NOISE. This wasn't supposed to get out AT. ALL. But it did (by a British attendee two weeks after the wedding), Nori got pissed...and then he got divorced! "CHAOS IN THE PUSSY!!!"

I. Would. Lock. Five. Hun. Dred. Grooves. And. I. Will. Lock. Five. Hun. Dred. More...
Festering Puke - "Cheese Weez" Demo '93 & " I Love Rape...Jerking Off On Mom's Face" Demo '95 (With Scans)
The shitblurr short bus kills again! Shockingly well played for the genre, with a snazzier than usual bedroom recording where most of the elements are decently separated (if you've heard Fear Of God's "Blazing Swiss Noise"/"Konserven" session, this stuff comes...and cums...from a neighboring realm). Maximum overdrive offense-core!!!
Cromagnon - "Orgasm" LP 1969 (CD Version 1998)
"Orgasm is the only album by the experimental band Cromagnon, recorded and released in 1969.
It was recorded at A-1 Sound Studio in the Upper West Side of New York City, and heavily utilized Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' technique (of which producer Brian Elliot was a fan). During production, band members brought in random people from the street to contribute to the session.
Member Sal Salgado recalled: 'The original concept of the album was to progress from different decades of music. Like, in '59 Elvis was shaking his pelvis and driving people - well, women - crazy. And adults as well, making them very upset. And then ten years later Hendrix was pouring lighter fluid on his guitar and getting a lot of great distortion out of his Marshall amps. And The Who was breaking up equipment. And then we were trying to carry it on to the next decade. We were going to say, maybe in 1979 there’ll be a group of people on stage that’ll be blowing through reeds of grass while someone is reciting some poetry, and another person is squirting water at a microphone on stage with a hose...'
Critics have noted how Orgasm anticipated the rise of noise rock, industrial, and no wave."
Fire In The Head – "The Remedy Has Become The Affliction/Dirty Needles" CD/CDR 2006
A "spiritual successor" for Justin Relics (since ya dug the N.T.T. review so much!):
Macerated flesh clings desperately to crushed bone.
Exposed nerves thrash and spark, strobing over a seizing mass that used to be...
...your body.
Blood welters in a pathetic attempt to armor skin sanded down to the muscle,
but even static air burns like acid against this wretched canvas of agony.
Everything burns like acid.
...breathing...
...hearing...
...seeing...
...thinking...
...all from daring to glance at God's bestiary of mankind's hatred for itself.
So when he found you, kissed your lidless eyes, and commanded you to look again...
...you sputtered...
...you flagellated...
...and you begged...
...begged his cold mercy for a reprieve in Hell.
Exit-Stance - Discography, Live/Demo/Comp Trax 83-85
Edited from Listen And Understand...
"Formed from an earlier band called 'Fuck Authority', Exit Stance stole their name from a Poison Girls poster. At first, they were heavily influenced by The Clash, but not so much by The Sex Pistols, because they could relate to the Clash's lyrics and only found the Sex Pistols to be rock stars. It wasn't until drummer Mark was replaced by 16 year old Andy Williams that the band started to get their intense mid-pace sound (Andy was more influenced by Killing Joke). Their first rehearsal space was an art room in an old rectory. They recorded their set and attempted a small tour, but were eventually banned from venues for displaying disturbing art behind themselves while performing. After the tour, they quickly received a call from Colin of Conflict, who invited them down to 'Alaska Studios' to record a track for the 'Who? What? Why? When? Where?' compilation. They managed to record their song fast enough to record several more songs in the same session, which was ultimately released as the 'Crimes Against Humanity' EP. The group then prepared for a U.K. tour with Conflict, sharing cramped space in the same van. The 'While Backs Are Turned' MLP was released in 1985, so they booked another tour to promote it. Unfortunately, they became disillusioned while on this tour, tiring of the constant criticism from the audience. They began work on another record, only to split up in the middle of rehearsing for it."
