Fabric - Dislocations 7"

90's London Straight Edge Post-Hardcore band formed with members of early UK Straight Edge Hardcore band Long Cold Stare.  Members would go on to break Edge and form bands such as Orange Goblin, The Dukes Of Nothing, Capricorns, Alabaster Suns & 33.  Bass player Tony Sylvester later became the singer in Turbonegro when Hank Von Hell left the band.

Decadence Within - Soulwound LP

Remember when Peaceville put out consistently good bands?  Decadence Within where a Straight Edge Crossover band from Ledbury existing between 1984-1995.  The bass duties bulk of the lyric writing were handled by one Ian Glasper who would have the same position in his next band, Stampin' Ground, who were my generations Nirvana-style-gateway equivalent for Metalheads to get into UKHC.  Glasper has also been a staff writer at Terrorizer magazine for many years and has written many books about the often ignored history of UK Punk after the initial 1977 explosion, be it on UK82 and OiAnarcho Punk, the first wave of UKHC bands influenced by tape trading and imported records from the US, and most recently the full spectrum of UK Punk in the 90's.

Sectarian Violence - s/t 7"

International Straight Edge supergroup, basically Never Again (minus Luke) with Nick from Coke Bust (Washington DC) on vocals and Stefan from Stay Hungry (Gothenburg) on bass.  Seeing as they're 3/5 UK I say that makes them fair game for this blog...fuck you, you want it or not?

A post in which I gush about how bloody brilliant Never Again were and bitch about Holy Roar and Thirty Days Of Night


Some of the best bands had the shortest life spans. Never Again from Canterbury, Kent existed between Summer 2009 and Autumn 2010, two demo tapes, an EP, two split 7”s and several jaunts around Europe, easily the most popular Straight Edge UKHC band since xCanaanx. Around the time they announced they were breaking up there was some rumours about Edge breaking, but all the members have gone on to do other Straight Edge bands (vocalist Luke now plays bass in STAB and the rest are in Norse myth obsessed Holy Terrorists Wayfarer), so nyer. Before they broke up they released a discography LP on Holy Roar, who I have a love/hate relationship with, love because they let you download the songs from the records they sell on their website but hate because they also give the option of selling MP3s separate from the records and continue after the record is sold out. Personally I believe that if the physical record is out of print you should just give the music away for free. Being a record collector I just don’t understand the mentality of people who pay to download music, but I guess you could argue that money goes to support the artists, and at least they aren’t as cuntish as Thirty Days of Night who sell MP3s through iTunes and get blogs taken down for daring to put up download links to their releases, even if they are long out of print. Anyway, back to Never Again, there's one song that isn’t on their discography LP, the demo version of Enough Is Enough from the Repulsed tape, they re-recorded it on the Pressure 7” and that’s the one they went with.
