Samhain- Live At The Ritz 7-14-86 w/ soundboard quality

Here is a superb quality Samhain set from when they played at the Ritz. This is soundboard quality, so you can clearly hear everything going on.
Everyone knows about Samhain, Danzig's band after the Misfits, blah blah blah. There are quite a few hits played here, including a couple Misfits songs.
I think this is some of the best stuff Danzig has done. Years ago, Samhain was doing a reunion tour and I had tickets for that for months, there was no way I was missing Samhain. So the day of the show, lots of people called me to go with them, but I denied them all because I didn't want to let me seeing Samhain be up to someone else and their car. So it was time to go and my car won't start! I called other people but no one was home, they all had left for the show! Oh no! This was before any of us had cell phones too, so contacting someone when they weren't at home was no easy deal. So I open the hood of the car and I don't know shit about cars, so I get mad and punch the battery. I'm about to give up and accept defeat and I figure I'll try to start it one more time... and... it started! Oh joy! I was a but worried that I would get downtown and it wouldn't start after the show, but it did and the night was great. Samhain... fuck, what a great band!
Enjoy!

Altercation- Rehearsal

Here is a rare Altercation rehearsal. Altercation is a pretty unknown NYHC band, who only released a demo. Most people who are fans of this type of music hold them in pretty high regard. The demo and WNYU set can be found anywhere online, but this rehearsal is a little bit harder to find.
Enjoy the music!

Half Off- Live At Berkely, CA 3-10-87

Here is a live set from the cool hardcore band Half Off. Sorry for using the art for their LP for the heading on this post, but it was all I could find!
Half Off is known for their free thinking lyrics which clashed with a lot of the straight edge bands of the time, especially since the singer, Billy Rubin, was pretty outspoken about it. Bypassing all that silly drama, the music is pretty cool, actually having a lot in common with straight edge bands of the time.
Enjoy!

That is all.

Dmize- Live On WNYU

Here is the much requested WNYU set from Dmize. I got a lot of emails about this before I had even posted that demo collection. This is a solid set and my only complaint would be that the vocals are a bit loud at times.
See the demo collection post for more info on this band!
Enjoy the music!

Side By Side- Live On WNYU

Here is the WNYU Crucial Chaos set from Side By Side. This took place on 7-30-87.
Classic New York Hardcore band. They had some of the best between song talk ever, but hey, the songs themselves are A+ as well.
Enjoy!

Dmize- Backlash aka Demo Collection...

Here is a bootleg CD that contains all three demos recorded by New York Hard Core band Dmize.
This is really good. It reminds me of a harder version of what bands like Breakdown and Occupied Territory were doing.
Luckily for us, the music never wanders into boring metal core territory. Also, luckily for us, the music here is fast paced. The guitar solos on here are odd. They are played really well, but a few of them sound like they could have been stolen from an early Obituary record, which is not a bad thing. It's good too, because they all fit in perfectly with the music.
They went through a couple singers on these demos, but to me, they both do a fine job.
Listen to the beginning of the song "US", holy shit, such a great crushing beginning to a song, I imagine walls of people destroying each other.
If people like this, I will upload the WNYU set from Dmize.
Enjoy!
