Update...

I'm in the process of transferring a lot of great live and demo audio from some amazing bands from LA/OC. Great early 80's hardcore punk! With work and life and other stuff going on, it should take about a week to finish those, so......
Next week will be NYHC demo/live week!!!
I have some ideas of stuff to post, but I will also fill requests, so post requests in the comments and get ready, because I have a lot of great stuff to share!!!

Uppercut- Live On WNYU

Here is the Uppercut set from when they played on WNYU.
Uppercut was a late 80's hardcore band from New York City. They had a harder sound, similar to bands like Outburst or Raw Deal. Besides this set, there is a demo, songs on the New York Hardcore: Where The Wild Things Are comp and a 12". The band is noted for the song 'Am I Clear?', which is a great song, but didn't exactly agree with the giant straight edge scene of the time. I will upload the demo at a later date, but the 12" was rereleased on Blackout Records a few years ago.
I think this is a great overview of the Uppercut material. The songs sound more urgent than on the 12" and sound a bit better than the ones on the demo. The demo and 12" are great though.
I hope you enjoy the music!

Update...

Hello!
This week, I'm only posting WNYU radio sets. It seems like a lot of people are happy with that, so it will continue until Saturday.
I re-upped the Under Pressure, Occupied Territory and No For An Answer posts, since those links were down. If you are looking through here and a link is down, please post about it in the comments and I will re-up it asap.
Also, if there is something posted on here that is still in print, let me know and I will take it down. I try to post only long out of print stuff, but if I goofed, then let me know and it will be gone. If you are in one of the bands that I have posted music of, and you don't want your music on here, post in the comments with an email and I will gladly take your music down. I'm on here to share stuff that people can no longer buy in stores or order online, etc. I'm not here to hurt feelings!
Enjoy the music!

Nausea- Live On WNYU- 1988

Here is the Nausea set from when they played on WNYU in 1988.
Most people know Nausea from the 'New York Hardcore: The Way It Is' comp. Nausea stuck out from the 'popular' NYHC of the time because they sounded way different. They had this great Discharge meets NYHC vibe. I think they get overlooked alot because that sound is not what a lot of people were into at the time. But this stuff is great and just as powerful as anything else from that time.
Another thing that made Nausea different from other bands was that they had two singers. The two singers on this are Neil and Amy. And a neat trivia fact is that Jimmy (singer in Maximum Penalty) was the drummer in Nausea for over a year! Talk about contrast in musical styles! Haha.
I think this is the best stuff Nausea did and I hope you enjoy the music!

Up Front- Live On WNYU

Here is the Up Front set from when they played on WNYU.
Up Front was a hardcore band from New York City. They began in 1986/1987. They are most known for their songs on the 'X Marks The Spot' comp and the 'Spirit' LP, which some people claim is terrible and others claim is wonderful. It's all a matter of opinion really. Other early releases include a demo, which isn't too hot, but I will post if people want to hear it.
Up Front had a solid sound, a bit faster than most, kind of like Our Gang. They played on WNYU and, to me, I think that the set is the best representation of their sound, short of seeing them live. The live setting captures a lot of the fury and passion of seeing bands live, that is often lost on recordings.
In the late 90's, Larry Ransom put the best songs from the WNYU set on 7".
Here is the entire set. I hope you enjoy the music!

Maximum Penalty- Live On WNYU

Here is the Maximum Penalty set from when they played on WNYU.
Maximum Penalty was a hardcore band from New York City. They started in the late 80's and are still around today, in some form or another. They released a classic demo, which in my opinion, is one of the best releases to come out of New York City. They had two superb tracks on the New York Hardcore: Where The Wild Things Are. Also, there were other 7"'s and LP's, but those took on a slightly different sound than the stuff on the demo and the comps.
Almost all the material here is different in some way or another. It opens with the intro from the demo, but the end is totally different, with a guitar solo over it, that is actually quite memorable. Then they go into 'Living In Darkness' and 'Be Yourself' from the demo, which are pretty much the same songs. After that is a new song, that you can't hear the name of, followed by 'Friends You Once Had' which is not on the demo either. Then we get a mega slowed down version of 'Hate' from the demo and comp. They close with a song called 'Lifes Not Fair', which is not on the demo either. I am not too familiar with their later stuff, but the songs on here that are not on the demo, have the same style as the demo, but I do not think they are even on later releases.
Maximum Penalty had a great sound, similar to a lot of other NYHC bands of the time, such as Uppercut and Raw Deal, but they stood apart due to the fact that they had a singer who could actually sing. In fact, I was told that he makes a living as a studio singer or something along those lines. The music is so hard, yet soulful at the same time. They don't make bands like this anymore. Enjoy!

Nip Drivers- Oh Blessed Freakshow

Here is another long forgotten, and often overlooked, band from California. It is the Nipdrivers, and the record is 'Oh Blessed Freakshow'. Not a lot of people know about, or care about this band, but this record has always been one of my favorites, so I figure it would be good to share some more good music.
The Nip Drivers were from Torrance California. The music has that classic early 80's CA punk hardcore sound, but there are parts that are strange and dip in and out of various other styles, kind of like how the Feederz, or even The Vandals, did. In fact, they cover 'Have You Ever Been Mellow', which the Feederz also covered. There are some straight forward songs here and then some slower ones and they are all very powerful. The vocals are unique and makes the music stand apart from some of the more generic bands of the time.
If anyone has the 'Destroy Whitey' record from the Nip Drivers, please post it or tell me where I can get it. I have never heard that one and I would love to.
I hope you enjoy the music!

Here is the cover of the record...
