Some Swede-core rippers
A couple of Swedish sellers are dropping some top shelf platters from the motherland, though strangely, neither has anything else for sale. So here are two of the top ep’s ever released from the country, with Anti-Cimex’s Raped Ass coming in tops on my list, and Absurd’s Bloodig Stad (Bloody City) rounding out the top [...]
BOMBANFALL – Ã…siksfrihet 7″
Awesome Swedish hardcore from 1987, thick metallic Discharge-style hardcore with extremely gutteral vocals. To me, they sound like a Swedish version of United Mutation, so if you’re into the current crop of “weirdcore” bands, this might have some cross-genre appeal. The $100 BIN is decent considering the condition, but maybe someone could take this home [...]
AGENT ORANGE – Your Mother Sucks Cocks In Hell 7″
Hardcore from the land of tulips and windmills… Agent Orange’s debut 7″, probably the best record named after a quote from The Exorcist. Four tracks of retardo Discharge worship, every song sounds like it’s on the verge of falling apart at any given second. I think their former band (Jezus & The Gospelfuckers) was better, [...]
BATTALION OF SAINTS – Fighting Boys 12″
I like ranking things in lists, so here’s one of the three best 12″ ep’s that would fit on one side of a 7″, along with Black Flag Jealous Again and the Straight Ahead 12″. These guys took the best elements of Motörhead (metal) and Discharge (d-beat) and combined it with a healthy dose of [...]
FINAL CONFLICT – Face Institution 2×7″
This was one of the first “rare” Pushead Fan Club type things I ever got, way back in the Rev trade board days. Basically he took two Final Conflict 7″s (Institution and Face Extinction) and combined them into one color vinyl double pack with a cool fold out jacket. It’s hard to see in the [...]
Final Warning 7″ on Fatal Erection
The first vinyl appearance by this Portland, OR band, on Tom Roberts’ (aka Pig Champion of Poison Idea fame) Fatal Erection label. I believe only 1000 were made of the original, back in 1984. These guys were notable for being one of the few American bands of the time playing inna heavy Discharge style—D-beat if [...]
