RF7- Fall In 12"

Free Image Hosting

Here is the wonderful RF7 'Fall In' 12" from 1982.
"RF7 was formed in 1979, in Simi Valley California. They first appeared on vinyl on the much-acclaimed compilation "Public Service." "Public Service" also included the first recordings from Bad Religion and Circle One, as well as songs from pre-teen veterans Redd Kross. Over twenty thousand copies of "Public Service" were sold, and this gave RF7 much exposure and credibility through association. A following friendship with Redd Kross helped RF7 obtain key bookings with The Circle Jerks, The Chiefs, Fear, The Dead Kennedy's and more. They were also able to record their own first album, "Weight of the World," which lead to touring outside of the LA area."
I think this is the record where the band sounds the best. The two before it are also good, but this one has the speed and power which, to me, makes it the most memorable one. This band is still around today, releasing records and playing shows. Check them out.
Enjoy!

Rest In Pieces- 7"

Free Image Hosting

Here is the 7" from New York hardcore band Rest In Pieces.
This record shows a band in its early stages, far from the glory they would achieve with the 'Nose' demo and the amazing 'My Rage' LP, which is available elsewhere on this site. That's not to say that this is a terrible record, because it is not. There are even a couple memorable songs here. Check it out and then get the My Rage LP. Enjoy!

Faith- Live On WMUC 1981

Free Image Hosting

Here is a cool radio set from early DC hardcore band, The Faith.
The Faith were known for having Alec Mackaye, brother of Ian Mackaye, as their singer. Their music was like a lot of DC hardcore of the time, but they had a melodic edge that set them apart. There are nineteen songs here, including all of the hits, like 'Subject To Change' and 'You're X'ed'. The sound is good and I think the music holds up really well.
Enjoy!

45 Grave- Autopsy

Free Image Hosting

Here is the great 45 Grave 'Autopsy' LP. This is a sort of a compilation LP, as it has the first 7", demos and rare songs. The demo songs are of extra note since Pat Smear plays guitar on them.
45 Grave was one of the first 'horror punk' bands and are still around today, in some form or another. The music on here is classic LA punk. I think they pulled off the horror image quite well, without making it seem overly comical, even though many of the bands songs had a good sense of humor.
There is some amazing music here, 'Eye', 'Choices', 'Polyunsaturated Blood', etc. All wonderful songs!
Anyways, this is really good music and I hope that you enjoy it!

Token Entry- Live At The Wetlands, New York City 6-4-95

Free Image Hosting

Here is a live set from a Token Entry reunion in 1995.
Token Entry was always a million times better lives than on record. Their first two LP's are still good and listenable, but they don't match the fury and intensity of a live performance.
Story time! When I was a young warrior, growing up, there was this record story called Harmony Park. The guy who ran it was obsessed with frogs, and had the entire back wall of his store filled with frog memorabilia, just thousands and thousands of anything having to do with frogs. He was a cool guy though. So one day, I went up there and on my way, I see a Frogger video game sitting on the curb, waiting to be picked up with the trash. So I get to the store and am looking around and I see a Token Entry shirt for sale. Fuck, I had no job and no money, so...
"Hey, I'll trade you a Frogger arcade game for this Token Entry shirt."
"Does it work?"
"No, but it would make a nice addition to your collection."
"Deal, bring it up here and the shirt is yours"
So I walked back to where I saw it, and dragged that thing all the way to the store. I did drag it too, because the wheels on it were broken. I get back to the store and I asked him to help me bring it in and he's like, "Holy shit! I thought you meant a game for Nintendo or something! You can pick out some other stuff too!" Somehow, he got that game working too, because the next time I was there, he was playing it. Haha. Anyways, that is how I got that great Token Entry shirt, that I still have packed away somewhere.
I don't know much about this reunion set, but the sound is cool and you can hear a lot of crowd interaction. Great band. Great set. Enjoy!
Also, sorry about the 7" art for the picture for this post! It's all that I could find.

TSOL- Live At The Roller Dome 11/20/82

Free Image Hosting

Here is a great live set from my all time favorite band, TSOL!
This set is from 1982. The sound quality is superb and there is a great mix of material from the first three records. Fuck, what an amazing band. Some of these songs are 28 years old but they still sound fantastic. 'Die For Me', 'Beneath The Shadows', 'World War III' and the list goes on. Amazing songs. I always thought this band was the greatest because they could write ruling fast songs but then follow them up with killer slow, atmospheric songs, that were just as good as the fast songs. The best band. Enjoy the music!
