J. Bannon – The Blood Of Thine Enemies

By b. murphy | Published 03/12/2011

Here’s a stellar one from Deathwish Inc. This is single song, one sided EP lot from J. Bannon of Converge. This one was released as a solo project in 2008, not under the Converge name, but just as Jake. It’s a little different from the Converge sound. Slowed down and moody, but still dark as hell. And like usual, Jake has gone above and beyond on the layout and vinyl. 4 different color EPs. Each is one sided where the b-side is laser etched. Check the last picture below to see the best example of the etching. The sleeve itself is pretty rocking too. Lots of small details on this one. Big fan. You can check out more of Jake’s work on his site. Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of those prints.

Have a listen.

See more from jstarnold. He seems to have plenty more where this came from.

Bane Recursion

By b. murphy | Published 03/02/2011

You know I’m a big fan of this Bane EP so lets just cut over to see what deathwishinc has to say about it.

BANE – 10 Year Anniversary 7″ w/ CD
#005/450 – and you know low #s are better!

Awesome record that Bane did for their 10 year anniversary show which was already a long ass time ago. Time flies. The story with this, from Vinyl Noize…

“The vinyl was pressed for the 10th anniversary gig Bane played in Worcester. Something happened with the vinyl such that it wouldn’t be available for the gig. BUT all the inserts and sleeves WOULD be available. So they whipped up 500 CDs and sold those in the place. Each CD and sleeve was hand numbered. EVR then went SUPER out of their way and allowed people to enter their record number and mailing address on a webform. They then mailed out the EP to every person when they finally got them from the plant. There were 500 pressed up. At the time of numbering, it was decided that 50 of them were going to be stashed aside for a special friends only thing. To this day, I don’t think that ever happened. Of course, since these were all hand numbered, some people created funny numbers like “Stevie of 450″ and stuff like that. I am pretty sure some scamming went along with these CDs, as the web form was simply an email to EVR with a number and mailing address. Pretty simple to spoof. It’s sad that hardcore kids would do that to a label that was basically giving these away.”

WHOA, deja vu. Hopefully if Uncle Tre (as Morgado calls him, not sure why. Didn’t know they were related. Plus, isn’t morGODo older than Tre? Serious), has another of these he’ll reference this post and the cycle will continue.

Boston Hardcore – Converge

By b. murphy | Published 01/13/2011

It’s no coincidence that 999organs currently has a feedback of 617. Once you have a gander at some of these awesome boston hardcore items he has, you’ll know what I mean. We’ll start off with his his early Converge EP gems. You are getting some good shit with these.

S/T EP. You’ve got to go way back to get this one. Foundation America Records. Not a lot of these floating around.

Unloved And Weeded Out EP. #177. Hot. Seller mentions something about a “color backing.” I’ve never heard this one. Can someone confirm? Tre?

Petitioning The Empty Sky EP. Ferret #3. This one goes back some ways. I can dig it.

Y2K EP on clear vinyl. There were 1000 of these made, and I feel like there was a time where you couldn’t give these away. There are 1000 of these records. That’s a LOT. I recall dudes thinking of cashing in and buying a few to flip. Granted this was 1999 / 2000. The ebay flipping market isn’t what it is today … They usually sold for what they bought them for. BUT NOW, but now, it seems to be a hit. Get into it. 3 cover songs. Vio-lence, Black Sabbath and The Cure. Not bad.

Soundtrack To The Revolution EP on gold vinyl. Now we are talking. Converge, Bound, Knockdown and … Chokehold?? Canada is not Massachusetts, but we’ll let this slide. This gets you a little bit of everything, Massachusetts-wise. Shout outs to Knockdown. If anyone has the Behind The Eightball demo, get at me. I NEED this one. Who wrote that dust sleeve message?

Fat kids need love too!

By Josh | Published 01/06/2011

I dont know about other Straight Edge kids, but I know that the few sXe friends I have (myself included) all have their own vices and most of them involve food! I remember first seeing Youth of Today and the Gorilla Biscuits and learning what Straight Edge was and thinking… I’m a fat kid with hair 1/2 way down my back and these guys looks like Venice Beach body builders! Seriously… how does a guy one from CT look that tan!?! Anyway… eventually I saw some other bands with Straight Edge members that didnt fit the ‘youth crew’ mold and I decided that was for me.

So even though this record has nothing to do with Straight Edge I dedicate this post to all the Straight Edge fat kids!

Descendents FAT LP

and here is the original Descendents FAT 7″

Title Fight Kingston EP Deluxe

By b. murphy | Published 01/02/2011

I love this EP. Title Fight are kings, and I’m sure I’m not the only one eagerly awaiting the next release. It’s coming soon, I know it is. This EP from gslota is a great one. It really goes above and beyond in the packaging department (of course, you know the music is above and beyond). This one features an actual Polaroid photo attached to the record sleeve. Limited to 88. I’m surprised how cheap it still is. Normally this one spikes. First press and all. Big fan of Dave’s attention to detail when it comes to proper pressing info. That’s a lot of details.

Terror – Live And Death – Test Press

By b. murphy | Published 12/21/2010

Here’s a good one from steventv66. A Live And Death EP test press from Terror. Limited to 10 tests. Hot. You may recall most of the regular press were given out as “thank yous for waiting” from Bridge 9 Records. I forget what exactly. Some pre-order that took many months, I think. I want to say No Warning, but that feels odd. If I could read the back sleeve of the EP, I could probably tell you exactly what it was a thank you for. If you win this, or own the regular copy, remind me. American Nightmare? Regardless, this EP is live tracks recorded by Terror at The Showcase in Cali. I wasn’t there — surprised, right? But I can imagine it was insane. Seriously, just listen to this EP. Sounds wreckless. Vogel is king.

Coca Cola, We Don’t Drink No Booze!

By b. murphy | Published 12/11/2010

I suspect many of you came to this post expecting a Last Rights EP. Not the case this time around. This time, I’m actually blogging about Coca Cola. That’s right, the carbonated cola that we all love. That other soft drink doesn’t stack up, not even close. What you see here from israeli-records, is a box set of 6 EPs from 1979. That’d be 31 (almost 32) years ago. Quite some time, no doubt. And the contents are super varied. From new wave punk to Bob Marley reggae to traditional French tunes to KBD punk. KDB punk? That’s right. Starshooter’s Betsy Party is the b-side of one of these EPs. They were a punk group from France in the late 70s. Their EP Pin Up Blonde was released in 1977 to some fanfare. That’s probably how they landed on this EP boxset. The song featured actually went to #1 on the French Pop charts. Crazy. So if you are down with KBD or Coca Cola, this boxset has your name on it. Get into it.

Some Of These Things Are Not Like The Others …

By b. murphy | Published 11/07/2010

mrep has up perhaps the most eclectic selection of items. I’ve listed 5 here, but he has a few more interesting tidbits worth the click through. I’m not going to say much, just show you what he’s got. Also, some of these items have Buy It Now prices, not terrible ones either. Pick it up.

Wow, weird right? Albino deer, og Urban Waste EP, moose antlers, OG Bad Religion EP and a Big Boys Where’s My Towel LP. So fucking odd. Good like trying to get that Urban Waste EP shipped in the same parcel as the antique fireback. No seriously. Good luck.
