Two live sessions from Urban Blight.

Live in Studio Three

More Reality Live

Finally a rip of "More Reality Live" that is separated up into individual tracks. "More Reality Live" is raw as fuck and has covers of Negative Approach, Mental Abuse, Crass and Agnostic Front respectively. Probably my favorite Urban Blight recordings yet!

The Live in Studio Three tracks were recorded for EQUALIZING x DISTORT a Canadian Hardcore and Punk Rock radio show. Live in Studio Three is a little cleaner than More Reality Live with an insanely good Upright Citizens cover. What more can I say that hasn't been said about this band?

Canada's fucking finest.

H100's - "Live LP"

Download | Purchase

Another fucked up master piece from the brilliantly crazed, volatile, punk as fuck, fuck ups the h100's. A monster of an LP start to finish with snottier vocals, stupider come backs, and better stage banter than ever before. Tony Erba was one fucked up genius. Apparently this was recorded at a show with Integrity and Apartment 213. The other recordings haven't surfaced yet, and probably never will, but who the fuck cares? I sure as hell don't. Get the fuck into this.

And while you're at it check out vocalist Chris Erba's new band AVON LADIES ON TOUR w/ ELDERS. Tour dates can be found here!

Larm - "Larm" (2010)

Download | Purchase?

This is not a reissue! This is not a band trying to cash in on their former fame! This is not a bad reunion record! In case you're unfamiliar with LARM they played a genre of music they dubbed "Extreme Noise" and "Noisecore" (long before the Locust or Sore Throat touched the term). Not totally dissimilar to Thrashcore or Powerviolence, but this sound is all their own. Like a chaotic and unapologetically amelodic BGK. They managed to tune up, maintain themselves and not break down into laughter for this LP which puts it miles ahead of their classics "Straight on View" and "Extreme Noise".

White Boss - White Boss LP

Download|Purchase

The long awaited second out put from Olympia's Perennial Records and first studio record from Olympia greats White Boss. This record makes me go brain dead. I lose my ability to be coherent. It's over whelming. It's layers of Sex/Vid, Cruising era Slices, My Bloody Valentine style riffs looped throughout and heavy dark noise punk. I now know why it took this band that formed in 2004 so goddamn long to put out the LP. It's a fucking punk master piece. This isn't my hyperbolic crap, this is actually genuinely that good and I'm fucking floored. You'll have to edit the track numbers when they make it into your library.

Thanks to Matt B. for part of the rip.

Vaccine - Human Hatred

Download|Purchase

FINALLY! A high quality rip of one of the best releases of 2010. Angry power violence influenced punk that you've grown to expect from Vaccine. Painkiller have been on the ball of late and the art on this ripper is fantastic. Link taken from Toxicbreeds Funhouse.

Needles - The Seven Inches

Desastre|Purchase

Self Titled|Purchase

Fast as fuck. Pissed as fuck. Raw as fuck. Ex and current members of Talk Is Poison, Los Crudos, Look Back and Laugh, California Love, Limp Wrist and many others. Not to be overlooked. Never to be fucked with. Think Look Back And Laugh, SS Decontrol and Limp Wrist and you're not far off.

Fix My Head/Knife in the Leg split

Download|Purchase

Pacific Northwest label Inimical Records has been putting out some really great stuff lately. San Fransisco's anthemic Fix My Head that doesn't stray too far from form on this new split playing the Los Crudos influenced classic hardcore they're known for. While on the B side Poland's Knife in the Leg offer 6 tracks of angsty early sounding hardcore. A must!

Middle America

Middle America Gets the HIV

Sound like Negative Fx. Think like Negative Fx.

The Young - Voyagers of Legend

Download|Purchase

The Young started out around 4 years ago or so as a one man band. His first show was in a record store with a guitar, a mic, and a small drum set. Hans utilized all three at once and it was pretty awesome. Pretty good angsty garage stuff from what I remember.

Now fast forward to a week ago, their record release show, and I finally see them a second time and it is now a full band. Members include: the owner of Austin’s only punk record store, sound on sound (RIP); a dude who was in Sacred Shock, Army of Jesus, and a few other bands; a dude who is in Deskonocidos and some other bands, and a dude who was in some bands whose names I can not remember. The cops show up to the house before The Young even start playing, but they leave and the show goes on.

As soon as they finish the first song, my mind is blown. They are no longer primitive garage rock, it is something of its own. If I had to try to describe it, which I do, I would say that it’s a super fuzzy, dreamy, mix of psych rock, shoegaze, and the punk. It’s still raw in all the right ways, but there is enough clarity for you to slowly discover what exactly is going on. It’s like awesome stoner shoegaze with punk energy. If I smoked weed, I would totally do it to this. I strongly encourage you to, AT LEAST, listen to the album. If you like it, you should definitely buy it, it comes on nice thick wax. I wish I were better at reviews, because I am not doing this record justice. I fucking LOVE it and the more I listen to it, the more I like it.
