Sad Boys/Who Killed Spikey Jacket? - "Wish You Were Beer!" split Flexi postcard

So Flexi postcards are a real thing that exist in the world we live in and totally not the product of a fever dream I had.  One track each from two mysterious Noise Punk bands.  Flexis have always had a reputation for having poor sound quality, it seems these new postcards are even worse, I made one rip that came out sounding like shit, I pulled this rip that someone else made off Youtube which was slightly better.

Disclose were a Japanese D-Beat band who were largely responsible for influencing the Noise Punk subgenre that's popular today.  They were active from 1993 up until singer/guitarist Kawakami's suicide in 2007.  Rip sourced from the recent re-issue of this 2003 LP on La Vida Es Un Mus.

Vermapyre/Pete Regan - split Lathe

Sin-Eater Records only made 55 copies of this so if you want this buy it now.

Geriatric Unit - S.O.T.O. 7"

Ex-Heresy and Iron Monkey members playing proper Hardcore.  They've put this out to coincide with their co-headlining Japan tour with Crucial Section (the lyric sheet even comes with Japanese translations), last time they did that was the GU/CS split 7" for their first Japanese tour, then Geriatric Unit returned the favour and took Crucial Section with them on a tour of the UK.  So hopefully that means we can expect to see Crucial Section in the UK again quite soon.

You may have noticed that I haven't posted anything the previous month, that's because Summer is over and I've run out of rips I made of what I picked up at festivals.  Last weekend I went to a show and picked up a load of records from the Active Rebellion distro.  Irena, who runs it, is based in Leeds but she also tour manages for foreign bands, so if you go to any Crust Punk show around the UK* chances are you'll see her with boxes and boxes of records.

*Which you should be doing anyway, support live music you peice of shit.

Gehenna - Deathkamp Ov The Skull 7"

Remember a few posts back I wrote about getting ripped off by Dark Empire (whose website is curiously missing from the internet now), well it seems I'm not the only one.  Funeral Embrace is being distributed by Dwid Hellion (who makes a guest appearance on one track here with his bandmate in Integrity, Rob Orr) through his label Holy Terror Records, who officially aren't motherfuckers in my eyes seeing as I got this new Gehenna 7" in the post shortly after I ordered it.

As a bonus I've also made a rip of the 7" that comes with the Die Hard edition of their self titled LP

Sheer Terror - Kaos For Kristin 7"

The most underrated NYHC band in terms of their influence on modern Hardcore, DO NOT FUCKING ARGUE WITH ME!  If you haven't listened to their debut album Just Can't Hate Enough, you are a tool, end of.  Starting with a base of primitive Hardcore influences from Negative Approach and Discharge then adding health doses of Motörhead and Celtic Frost, any Metallic Hardcore band who mixes guttural and melodic singing has either been directly influenced by this band or by bands who took influence from them (Life Of Agony anyone?).  If you have the time, watch the documentary about them, it's like a Hardcore version of Spinal Tap or Anvil, anything that could have gone wrong for that band did go wrong for them.  This is a benefit 7" of Sham 69 covers, because even though they are innovators in the genre, they are still a NYHC band so they have an inexplicably deep rooted love of Oi that comes with the territory, they even get John Deptford from Combat 84 to do guest vocals on That's Life.  The money goes to the family of their friend Kristin Magee who passed away in 2012 but they are still having to pay her medical bills (because 'Merica...), I realise I'm putting this up for people to download for free but seeing as the money is going to people who could really do with it, please consider buying it or you could donate directly to the family via Paypal: fuckcancer@promotechaos.com

Limp Wrist - ST/Want Us Dead 12"

Cut & Paste just put up their Discography CD but they missed off the post-reunion material of these two EPs reissued as one throbbing 12".

Fake fags on the radio don't sing for me, metrosexuals annoy the shit out of me, fake fags in Hollywood don't impress me, try to demonstrate how I'm supposed to be.

Slowly We Rot - Poverty Of Existence tape

From (stupid, sexy) Flanders, Belgium, kind of Crusty...could you call this H8000?  I guess you could, I was never really into that sub-genre of 90's Metalcore, can you tell I don't have much to say about this band, they're just good, ok.

Hard Skin/Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - split 7"

Hard Skin is everybodies favourite ironic Skinhead band, except if you're a far right comedy Oi band.

Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät are a Punk band from Helsinki made up of disabled people.  They are a subject of a documentary and have recently been selected to represent Finland in The Eurovision Song Contest.  I must confess when I first heard about this band I thought it was just a gimmick, but after seeing them on tour with Hard Skin (which is where I picked up this 7"), I'd encourage anyone to go see them.  While I'm still not really a fan of their music, I'm glad they exist.

Both bands cover each others songs in their own languages, Miks Ei Kukaan Ymmärrä turns into Why Won't Anyone Understand? and We Are The Wankers becomes Me Ollaan Runkkareita.

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 Oi, Anarcho 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.
