KRIEGSHOG/DEATHTRIBE 7" split
3 tracks from each of these Japanese noise mongers. Kriegshog are like the second coming of Gloom. Insane,noisy,and violent crsut hardcore. Deathtribe are heavily influenced by and have a Framtid sound. A great split from 2 new Japan acts.

JOHNS TOWN ALOHA "Bloody Ravens Wander" 7"
6 raging thrashers from this newer Japanese outfit. I thought I was listening to Exclaim's lost recordings. Distortion is the key word here. I heard they have an earlier 7"...anyone have any info? I'll be in japan this October with Broken Needle and we're scheduled to play with them...I can't wait!

JUDGEMENT "Just Be..." 7"
These 4 tunes were originally relreased as a cd-ep back in 2000/01 and now available on 7" format for their recent trip to Texas. They will always go down to me as the epitome of Burning Spirits hardcore and,next to Gauze,the best Japanese band going on right now. Not sure about the pressings but I got a copy on green wax and a copy on tan/orange wax.

MIND ERASER "The Prodigal Son Brings Death" 7" ep
I fucking love this record!!! 10 amazing tracks of power violence hardcore. Take a bit of Siege,some No Comment and Crossed Out,and finish it off with some Man Is the Bastard and Neanderthal and you get a heavy and very potent mix. Nothing more needs to be said except BRILLIANT!

VA "NO T.O." 1-sided 12" LP
This is the "Yes L.A." comp(Dangerhouse Recordes,1978)re-released and covered by 5 bands who,from the most part,are from Toronto,Canada. It's a pretty decent record but the "Los Angeles" cover of X by the Dangerloves sounds just amazing! The other bands are Stef and The Studs,Career Suicide,The Brown Knuckler,and Legion 666. Nice silkscreened b-side and killer art by Scott Bentz. Only 300 were made for a show so it might be kinda hard to find...goodluck!

WARCRY "Nausea" 7" ep
4 rippers on this little platter right here. Stench/crust represented to the tilt. Sounds like something that could've been on Crust War Records,Japan. Heavy as fuck,in your face,and very political. On of the finest from the crop of PDX punk corps. If it matters they have members of Tragedy,Hellshock,and Lebenden Toten.

YOUNG OFFENDERS "Big Man,Small House" b/w "Saints" 7" 45
Hailing from San Francisco this power pop unit gives us 2 killer songs. Very catchy with a ton of hooks. I never heard them until I saw them them at the Chaos In Tejas fest a couple of weeks ago and I am now a fan for life. If you like other Deranged "poppy punk" releases like the Bayonettes,Observers,and Smalltown you'll love this! My copy came with a limited 25 sleeve which is most likely long gone but hit up Deranged as they have limited clear vinyl editions still available(200 made).
