MISFITS : This LP is "THE" hardcore punk release by this ultra cult US band from Lodi, New Jersey. Their second LP from 1983 is a masterpiece of early US hardcore punk : Fast music + shouted vocals!

 

CONFLICT : Killer 1982 early US hardcore punk from Tucson, AZ. Also known as CONFLICT U.S. to avoid the confusion with the famous UK anarcho-punk band from ENGLAND, London.

CEREBRAL BALLZY : Excellent 2010 7" release with early different versions of 3 tracks from their great 1st LP + one unreleased track by this US band from New York City. Very nice unique artwork too, with sleeve made out of spray painted skateboard grip tape. For some reason, my copy is hand-numbered on dust sleeve instead of back cover. 500 copies made, great job, great music!

 

BALTHASAR GERARDS KOMMANDO (B.G.K.) : Killer wild fast hardcore punk by this classic cult Dutch hardcore punk band. 1984 release with 8 songs, recorded and released between the two LP's. So great!

BEYOND POSSESSION : Excellent 1985 7". The 6 songs of this release are also available on a 14-song Demo TAPE or recording studio session from the same year. Classic hardcore punk band from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA, officially reissued in 1991 on Fango Records, minus last track "Dying fast"...

SS-20 : Not to make confusion with the other band from LA, CA (from the same time) or the 80's ones from France, Germany, Italy and Mexico... This band is the SS-20 from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. They played a fast catchy hardcore punk with great melodies and choruses adding an unique sound, in a "garage core" vein with subtly fast parts! Each time that I'm listening to this fantastic 1986 LP vinyl, the thought that comes to mind is that this LP is at the vinyls what's the GNP Demo TAPE from Alabama is at the cassettes... An absolute essential must have release by a total underrated band! Take note that the cassette version came with one unreleased bonus song cover.
