$ Vengeance $

More big baller action from Mr. creeper_ohio.

Again like the Necros 7″, it’s pretty wild that this is the THIRD copy of this record on ebay this year. I think prior to 2010, there were 3 copies listed over the past 5 years, if that. 200 pressed, and possibly the greatest American hardcore 7″ ever made, so expect this one to hit the $3 grand mark with ease.

$$$ex Drive

Seller creeper_ohio is opening up the heavy artillery on the ‘bay…

It’s kinda crazy this record has come up twice this year, considering there are only 100 copies out there. This one’s nice too, complete with insert and looking VERY crisp in condition. So either get that credit card ready, or just sit back with some popcorn and watch the action unfold.

NA ep

By cooch | Published 10/11/2010

My buddy Jay from Providence is unloading some stuff, mostly of the powerpop and synthpunk variety (ie, stuff people here aren’t interested in), but he has this cheap first press copy of the NA ep up…

Looks like the vinyl isn’t in tip-top shape, but you get some sound clips to see what’s up, so if you’re not super anal about condition this might slip by pretty cheap. I’ll vouch for the quality of his grading, so if someone here wins this and isn’t happy with it, I’ll let you punch Morgado in the arm.

INMATES – A-holes Unanimous LP

By cooch | Published 10/01/2010

More from mnl_studios… he ain’t just sellin NYHC.

OK, I gotta admit I’m partial to this LP because I put it out. My friend Mike originally released it around 2002, but he only did 300 so a few years later we (Painkiller) took his stampers and did another 900 LP, with 600 black and 300 pink marble.

This LP is a total scorcher, with 18 tracks of early-US-meets-UK82-hardcore bliss. And for all you Norman Coremans out there, you get 3/5 of the For Those Who Fear Tomorrow era Integrity lineup, and a member of Meanstreak (!). I played a show with them once at a bowling alley in the Clevo burbs, and pretty much anything that wasn’t bolted down was flying during their set — bowling balls, paint, garbage barrels, broomsticks — you name it.

I saw these guys play a couple of weekends ago in NYC, their 3rd and 2nd to last shows ever, and they f’n killed it both times. Coincidentally their last show ever is tonight in New Orleans, kind of a weird place to send it off but whatever!

Jan’s Rooms

By cooch | Published 09/27/2010

I saw Steve Miller from The Fix belt out 3 or 4 songs with Tesco Vee’s band a month or two ago in NYC, and let me tell you, it was pretty eff’n awesome. It was one of those situations where it was over as soon as it started, and I was left standing there scratching my head and thinking “wtf just happened?” His voice is still raw as hell, and these are still some of the best HC songs ever recorded.

This copy of Jan’s Rooms looks really nice, though I’m not sure if there’s an insert. I shot the guy a message to find out… either way still one of the best American HC records ever.

BORN WITHOUT A FACE 7″

By cooch | Published 08/06/2010

Very cool and very under the radar ep from this mid 80′s Detroit area band. They had a couple of 7″s and some demo material, all of which has a great dark and disfigured HC sound lying somewhere between early COC and United Mutation. This is their 2nd ep, from ’86, and I think there were 1000 made. It doesn’t turn up a lot but it usually stays cheap so it’s a cool way to check out some good obscure 80′s core. I guess there was going to be a reissue LP a year or two ago, but it fell to the wayside due to band member disagreements with the label. Hopefully that will happen some day soon.

PS if anyone has a copy of the first 7″ for sale/trade, hit me up!

Die Kreuzen LP

By cooch | Published 07/21/2010

Nice looking copy of this classic lp, going way cheap with a day and a half left. I’m surprised the price of this record hasn’t spiked hard with all the bands claiming them and Void as their influences these days, but I guess that could be the result of the recent reissue. Either way, this record rips and no band has ever sounded like them since, so poseurs be damned.

Some more cool BIN’s

By cooch | Published 07/20/2010

Some more nice BIN price records from teenagetupelo…

1. Clitboys We Don’t Play The Game 7″ – great and under-appreciated midwest hardcore ripper, notable for being mentioned on the Tesco Vee 12″. Which brings us to…

2. Meatmen Crippled Children Suck 7″ – sorry for the respost on this one, but the price is right so why not? IMO the tunes on this record aren’t so hot but I can never look at the cover or read the lyrics without LOLing hard.

3. Anemic Boyfriends Boys Are Not Proud 7″ – The first (and only?) early punk record from Alaska. Cool all-girl stuff that kinda sounds like the Slits.
