D-CLONE, NERVESKADE, KRUEL, RAYOS X, and DEAD NOISE - live 10/16/09

Damn was my hand tired after recording this show, I did two interviews afterword too. The show started with AXEMAN, a new Amebix and black metal influenced band featuring members of Volahn and Ashdautas. The recording was a bit blown out so I'm not posting that one

KRUEL is an awesome local d-beat band from Cudahy with Spanish lyrics, similar to Framtid and Riistetyt. So far I think they only have a demo cassette.

RAYOS X is very energetic and sounds like spanish and latino punk from the late 70's/early 80's (think Eskorbuto), they've been catching good reviews for their demo tape. Contact
Silenzio Statico or LA Raw Ponx for release info.

I skipped recording TUBERCULOSIS cause i already got a really good recording two weeks before. And during VAKRAANT's set I accidentally stopped the recorder and didn't notice till half way thru (I blame the whiskey).

DEAD NOISE is straight Disorder and Gloom worship from Montebello, raw and noisy as fuck. Only one split EP I believe. They're going on their first tour this week.

NERVESKADE (Portland) has toured the coast several times playing Disorder-style noise punk but with way faster drums that remind me of Heresy's first EP. They've got a demo tape, Acid Attack 7" (Whisper in Darkness) and an upcoming 12".

Then finally we have
D-CLONE from Konton, Japan who topped off the night with more walls of distortion and over-the-top vocals. It was their first U.S. tour.

TUBERCULOSIS - live in L.A. 10/4/09


Raw ponks TUBERCULOSIS, from south central L.A. have released a demo cassette (which has grown pretty popular in zines i've read) and I believe has an EP coming soon. They remind me a lot of old Spanish punk like MG-15. I recorded this at a venue in Lynwood where they played with Complications (Montreal).

BLACK UNIFORMS - Faces of Death LP


I uploaded this cause I've had a hell of a time finding this online anywhere. BLACK UNIFORMS from Sweden released this one LP and a few demos but most of us have only seen the collection Splatter Punx on Acid (an almost complete discography) which is far easier to come by. It contains most of this LP but some tracks were replaced with alternate versions (demo or unreleased) and so on.

1. Sacrifice
2. City of the Dead
3. Do U Conform

ASYMMETRIC WARFARE - live in Long Beach 7/24/09


ASYMMETRIC WARFARE from Seattle, WA has been together for several years (with some lineup changes and a name change from KGB Suspect). A politically-active anarchist band with elements of crust, hardcore punk, and metal/grind not unlike CATHARSIS or other bands from that scene.
No releases yet but this was their second tour and they have played countless shows in Seattle over the years. This was live at a house show in Long Beach with local L.A. band GALLERY. My batteries died during Gallery's set so no recording of them this time around.

for fans of: Catharsis, Shitlist, Severed Head of State, Iskra.

CONCRETE SOX - live in Prague 1991


Great live recording from England's CONCRETE SOX at the legendary klub 007 strahov in Praha/Prague, Czech Republic. This was originally circulated on cassette (and i don't own a copy). There's no tracklist (the mp3s are "side one" and "side two") but the bulk of the songs are from the Sewerside LP.

NAUSEA (LA) - Who Would Surrender demo



Definitely not the crust punk band from New York. This NAUSEA from Los Angeles plays old school political grind with a punk edge to it. In their early years (1987-94) they released several demos, an LP and a 7". Known mainly for their singer/guitarist Oscar Garcia's vocals in TERRORIZER, they were actually together before Terrorizer and even used parts of Nausea songs Oscar had wrote to complete the recording of World Downfall.
This is their second demo since reuniting in 2001, some tracks later were on a split with Unholy Grave.

for fans of: Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Master.

G-ANX - 1986 demo



I used to only know of the four EPs Sweden's G-ANX put out (between 1988-91) which later were compiled on to the collection Flashbacks. This studio demo material is way more raw than later G-ANX, kind of reminds me of the earliest HERESY records. Fast as hell and noisy! When they broke up two members went on to form COUNTERBLAST.

for fans of: Heresy, Mob 47, Protes Bengt, No Security.

18 track studio demo, 1986
