Suicidal Tendencies- Mystic Demo + Live At The Rollerworks 1983

Here is a double treat of great old Suicidal Tendencies stuff.
Suicidal Tendencies were one of the first punk bands to incorporate metal into their sound. They were also the first punk band to sell a lot of records. I don't care about that at all though. What I do care about are the great songs this band put out.
First here, is the Mystic demo. The sound on this isn't the greatest, but it's not unlistenable either. It's notable for the presence of the great song 'Kill', which there is a video of floating around on the internet. That song rules. I also included a live set from the Rollerworks in 1983. This set is from before the first LP came out. Most of the LP songs are here too. The sound quality of this live set is great. Enjoy the music!

Circle One- 1980 Demo + 1981 Demo

Here are two demos from Circle One. One is from 1980 and the other is from 1981.
Circle One is one of my all time favorite bands. I could go on and on for pages about how great I know they are.
Circle One was a fantastic hardcore bands from LA in the early 80's. Their LP, 'Patterns Of Force' easily makes my top records of all time and it is available elsewhere on this blog. I think you should download it right away.
Some of the songs on these demos, 'One Chord' and 'In This City', are about as simple as a song can be. Then as the songs progress, you get longer and even more wonderful songs such as 'Highway Patrolman', which is one of their best songs. Something cool about this band is that their slower songs are just as powerful and exciting as their fast songs. I love how 'Highway Patrolman' goes from slow to real fast and then slows down a bit for the chorus. Also here is the great 'Highschool Society' with its very simple, yet memorable chorus. The vocals here are a bit different than the LP, but who cares? To me, everything this band did is golden. Fuck, what a great band! People don't make tunes like this anymore. Enjoy the music!
If anyone has any live stuff, audio or video, or pictures of anything Circle One related, please contact me. Thanks!

The Klan- Pushin' Too Hard ep

Here is The Klan ep from 1980. This is very early LA punk. In fact, the band had been around for a while before this was recorded. I was told that The Flyboys had some extra recording time, four hours, when they were done recording their ep, and so form that time came this ep from The Klan.
The first song, 'Pushin' Too Hard', is a cover of The Seeds song of the same name. The song would later appear on a Rodney On The ROQ comp and received a lot of airplay on his radio show. The other song, 'Cover Girls', is an original and has lyrics that are sure to bum out some people. Who cares though? The song is a memorable treat.
I am not aware of any other studio recordings from this band, besides what I have talked about here. There are lots of rehearsal tapes and live recordings going around, so if you have the chance to get those, please do so, as they are great.
Enjoy the music!

The original version of this ep has no cover sleeve. The covers shown here are from a later reissue. The front of the ep is at the top of the post. The back of the ep is here...

Wasted Youth- Live At The Whiskey- 08/03/81

Here is a cool set from Wasted Youth from 1981.
Wasted Youth were a hardcore punk band from LA in the early 80's. They had two official releases. The first was the 'Reagan's In' LP, which is a great example of early 80's hardcore punk. Great record. The second LP is a failed attempt at a more metal approach. There are a couple decent songs, but as a whole, the record get a big fail. Get 'Reagan's In' though.
This live set is pretty good too. In fact, based on this set and others that I have, I think this band was better live than on record. The sound seems more angry and furious than on the LP.
Enjoy the music!

Rebel Truth- s/t 7"

Here is the great Rebel Truth s/t 7".
This record is wonderful and a good example of early CA hardcore. Some parts remind me of Articles Of Faith, but they don't sound anything like that band at all. They had a great urgent sound and the production here captures that well. The vocals are unique, which is a big plus. Most important of all, the songs are filled with hooks and all nine of them are memorable.
Rebel Truth were around from 1981 to 1983. This record came out in 1983 and has been bootlegged many times.
Enjoy the music!

Four Walls Falling- Demo

Here is the Four Walls Falling demo.
There are six songs on this demo. Most of them went on to be on the 7" or the first LP. The song with no title, seems to be exclusive to the demo though (correct me if I'm wrong). This is still worth hearing because the versions of the songs here sound a bit different than the later versions, in just how the songs are put together. Maybe it's the production, but it sounds like some of the songs are played faster here.
For more information about them, check out the early post I did of their 7".
Enjoy the music!

Gut Instinct- Demo 1989

Here is the Gut Instinct demo from 1989.
Gut Instinct was a hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland in the late 80's. They had a tough sound, not unlike some NYHC bands of the time, such as Breakdown or Raw Deal.
The 'hit' here is the song 'Right Wing Hype'. When I was growing up, I knew this moronic skinhead who was obsessed with this song, as he was into all sorts of loser Nazi stuff. He obviously never actually listened to the lyrics though. No one even liked him but he would somehow always find out where everyone was at and would just randomly show up everywhere. Even if people told him to go away, he would just linger around for hours. Once he was there though, the dude was hard to ditch too. One time we figured that if we bought him enough to drink, he would eventually have to go to the bathroom and then that would be the perfect chance to ditch him. So we bought this kid all varieties of those 'Big Gulp' drinks for hours, the big 64 ounce cups from the gas stations, but I think he was on to us, because he never went to the bathroom. He must have had a bladder the size of the Goodyear Blimp because he drank no less than three of those and never even mentioned having to go to the bathroom. I remember showing him a 'zine where there was a Gut Instinct picture and he got real bummed when he saw a black guy on stage!!! I wonder whatever happened to that guy. Anyways...
Besides this, there is another demo and a 7". That is about all I know about this band. Please post more info in the comments.
There is a discography that you can buy on Vicious Circle Records. An internet search will bring up many links to where you can get that.
Enjoy the music!
