To fix that, I enlisted the help of someone else to help me keep this updated. So....<br />in the next week or so, plan on things being back to four or five posts a week. I figure, if I update twice and the guest blogger posts twice a week, things should be back to normal. <br />Also, we are working on re-upping all the downed links, so look forward to that as well. <br />Thanks for being patient!!!Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-32419852922954784212008-08-10T09:04:00.000-07:002008-08-10T09:25:01.948-07:00Samhain- Live At The Ritz 7-14-86 w/ soundboard quality<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/612278/Samhain_Group.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/612278_Samhain_Group.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />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. <br />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. <br />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! <br />Enjoy! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href='http://www.mediafire.com/?nmhxymigbdt'>http://www.mediafire.com/?nmhxymigbdt</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-38849369112428713032008-08-09T04:27:00.000-07:002008-08-09T04:32:32.899-07:00Altercation- Rehearsal<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/608730/AltercationLogo1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/608730_AltercationLogo1.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />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. <br />Enjoy the music! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href='http://www.mediafire.com/?0uxzohy9gv4'>http://www.mediafire.com/?0uxzohy9gv4</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-86395212852108787952008-08-09T04:07:00.000-07:002008-08-09T04:34:24.715-07:00Half Off- Live At Berkely, CA 3-10-87<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/608725/photo-2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/608725_photo-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />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! <br />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. <br />Enjoy! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ddbrqozfzy2">http://www.mediafire.com/?ddbrqozfzy2</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-60228210269396589652008-08-09T04:05:00.000-07:002008-08-09T04:07:33.492-07:00Welcome Back!!!Hello! <br />Sorry I have been away for a while.

It reminds me of a harder version of what bands like Breakdown and Occupied Territory were doing. <br />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. <br />They went through a couple singers on these demos, but to me, they both do a fine job. <br />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. <br />If people like this, I will upload the WNYU set from Dmize. <br />Enjoy! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href='http://www.sendspace.com/file/zx2jdj'>http://www.sendspace.com/file/zx2jdj</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-79699793865645122192008-07-09T11:37:00.000-07:002008-07-09T12:00:18.088-07:00Artificial Peace- Discography<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/501070/322894646_l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/501070_322894646_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is everything recorded from early DC/MD hardcore band Artificial Peace. <br />This is great! The music is fast but throws in some cool slower parts to keep things interesting. Almost none of these songs are over a minute long. That is not a bad thing though, like it might be in some horribly shitty power violence band. They manage to keep things interesting all the time, even in a song like UXB, which is only nineteen seconds long. You see, it's not just a minute of noise and yelling. The songs have substance and meaning to them. After this band was over, they formed Marginal Man, who were fantastic, in my opinion. <br />Here is some info I found online about the history of Artificial Peace... <br /><br />"In the late summer of 1981, Janelle Brooks started throwing shows in the basement of her parents' house in Potomac, Maryland. Usually these parties would feature five or six bands, who were usually happy to share their gear with each other. Most of their songs were only a minute long, and therefore the sets tended to be really brief. There was a pole in the middle of the capeted rec-room that everyone danced around and between bands people hung out all over the house and in the yards.<br /><br />In September, one of these shows featured the end of 3 bands: Assault and Battery, Minor Threat and Red C. Things moved quickly in the punk scene at the point and bands would come and go, so it wasn't a surprise that a new band formed by Pete from Red C along with Mike, Rob, and Steve of Assault and Battery played Janelle's next party just three weeks later.<br /><br />Mike's bass drum head had an upside down peace-sign painted on it and the name of the band was Artificial Peace. They were solid and fast and they quickly managed to bulid one of the largest followings of all of the early bands. They were one of the first DC area bands to play out of town, always making it a point to announce that they were from Bethesda, a city just across the DC line in Maryland. Ian MacKaye recorded a 19 song demo with them at Inner Ear and three of those songs appear on the Flex Your Head comp. They also released a split 7'' with Exiled on Fountain of Youth. The band would call it quits in summer 1982. Then later form Marginal Man." <br /><br />Here is a list of everything the band recorded: <br />Official Releases:<br />Demo - Possibaly recorded 1980 or 1981 as Assault and Battery (out of print)<br />Demo - Recorded November 21, 1981 (out of print)<br />Flex Your Head sampler, Dischord records, 1982 (4 pressings, vinyl disc out of print. Reissued on CD)<br />Artificial Peace/Exiled split 7'' EP, Fountain of Youth records, 1982 (out of print)<br />Bouncing Babies LP comp, Fountian of Youth records, 1984 (out of print, possibly reissued)<br />20 Years of Dischord box set, Dischord records, 2002 (still aviliable)<br />Bootlegs:<br />Assault and Battery 7'', Lost and Found, 1990 (out of print?)<br />Outside Looking In LP. Lost and Found, 1990 (out of print?)<br /><br />The songs I have posted are all from the release on that bootleg label Lost And Found. It is labeled as a 'Discography', but if it is not, then let me know and I will try to fix that and add whatever is missing. <br /><br />Enjoy! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href='http://www.sendspace.com/file/l5g89e'>http://www.sendspace.com/file/l5g89e</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-27971162917728846512008-07-09T09:51:00.000-07:002008-07-09T09:57:58.833-07:00Pagan Babies- Next LP<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/500160/1171171096_l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/500160_1171171096_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is the Pagan Babies LP from 1988. <br />It sounds a lot different than you would expect from a hardcore band in 1988.

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."<br />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. <br />Enjoy! <br /><br />The music is here... <br /><a href='http://www.sendspace.com/file/4kbcu2'>http://www.sendspace.com/file/4kbcu2</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-68559313910164949812008-06-22T16:20:00.000-07:002008-06-22T16:23:56.938-07:00Rest In Pieces- 7"<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/441511/l_a9f73de62af2bbbe9cb2656c12c19667.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/441511_l_a9f73de62af2bbbe9cb2656c12c19667.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is the 7" from New York hardcore band Rest In Pieces. <br />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.

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'.

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. <br />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. <br />There is some amazing music here, 'Eye', 'Choices', 'Polyunsaturated Blood', etc. All wonderful songs! <br />Anyways, this is really good music and I hope that you enjoy it! <br /><br />The music is here... <br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/ojydotSound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-86030586605977422782008-06-07T04:37:00.000-07:002008-06-07T05:00:17.893-07:00Token Entry- Live At The Wetlands, New York City 6-4-95<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/391822/tokenentry.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d2.turboimagehost.com/t/391822_tokenentry.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is a live set from a Token Entry reunion in 1995. <br />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. <br />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...<br />"Hey, I'll trade you a Frogger arcade game for this Token Entry shirt."<br />"Does it work?"<br />"No, but it would make a nice addition to your collection."<br />"Deal, bring it up here and the shirt is yours"<br />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. <br />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! <br />Also, sorry about the 7" art for the picture for this post!

'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! <br /><br />There music is here... <br />NEW LINK!!! http://www.sendspace.com/file/nq20e2Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-85993501643435835492008-05-31T08:24:00.000-07:002008-05-31T08:27:40.152-07:00Update...Hello! <br />Sorry for the small amount of posts lately. I started a great new job and it has been taking up a lot of my free time. Luckily for all fans of good music, someone will be helping me update this from now on, so expect the usual amount of content to return shortly. <br />Also, I added a yell box function on the right side of the page, under the blog archive section. Please post all requests there from now on. That will ensure I will see it sooner. Also, if a link is down, mention it there and I will see it a lot sooner. <br />Leave comments! <br />That's all! <br />Thanks! <br />Sound And FurySound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-17412411055313472852008-05-26T05:44:00.000-07:002008-05-26T05:48:27.915-07:00Red Cross- Teen Babes From Montesanto<a href=http://www.freeimagehosting.net/><img src=http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ad207727dd.png border=0 alt="Free Image Hosting"></a><br /><br />Here is a cool ep of cover songs from Red Cross. Well, Redd Kross, but I hate that spelling, so it's Red Cross to me. Anyways, this is all cover songs. They cover all kinds of music, from The Rolling Stones to David Bowie. All music that I normally don't really like at all. But they pull it off really well here. This is cool too because soon after this, Red Cross would take their music in a whole different direction and this covers record is like they covered one song each from the music that would influence their later material. What a great band. Enjoy the music! <br /><br />The music is here... <br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/tbwivaSound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-15308154125811846472008-05-25T06:14:00.000-07:002008-05-25T06:18:38.192-07:00Red Cross- Annette's Got The Hits<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/354651/ep_annette.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/354651_ep_annette.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is the first Red Cross ep, from before the spelling change in the name and from before they added other influences. This is fantastic early SoCal punk. Six songs. All classics. <br />It is weird listening to this band, this record is straight forward catchy punk but their later material has more rock influences but keeps the intensity of the earlier songs. <br />The songs on here are so good. The highlights are 'I Hate My School' with the memorable opening bass line and 'S&M Party' with its killer guitar lines. <br />This has always been one of my favorites and I hope you like it too!

This fits in good with the time it came out... 1982... California. The songs are fast but have that that amazing melodic sense about them that makes them instantly memorable and good for endless listens. There are some cynical lyrics too. <br />I had this 7" for years and a friend I grew up with was convinced that they were racist. in 'I Hate Cops' he's like, "I hate cops, they're all fucking piggers...". Well this kid was convinced he said something else besides piggers. Something that rhtymes with piggers. Well, that's definately not the case. Anyways, great record.

The songs are fast but they don't lose the tuneful and melodic edge that makes them memorable. They knew how to write some cool hooks, especially in the title song. <br />Battalion Of Saints appeared to be a death trap for everyone involved, besides the singer... <br />"The mainstay of the band is the singer, George Anthony. Most of the other original members of the band either quit or died during their first stint. Guitarist Chris Smith overdosed and drowned, bassist Barry Farwell died of drug related health problems, Dave Astor blew his brains out, and Don Diaz died of AIDS. By the time they broke up in '85, the band went through nearly a dozen different members, and others who were short lived."<br />The band released a lot of great tunes, this, the Second Coming LP, the demo (that is available elsewhere on this blog), 7"'s, comp songs, etc. Great band. I hope you enjoy the music! <br /><br />Here is a cool promo picture of the band that was incorporated on the back cover of this record... <br /><a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/332506/grave.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/332506_grave.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />The music is here... <br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/0kj4xeSound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-78647496128964057812008-05-14T15:08:00.000-07:002008-07-19T15:21:25.707-07:00Rancor- Discography<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/326911/916611311_l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/326911_916611311_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is everything from the great Rancor. <br />Rancor was a hardcore band from Allentown PA in the late 90's. They came out around the same time as Floorpunch, Ten Yard Fight and others did, to rescue us from the metalcore nightmare that hardcore had become. Some of my favorite show memories from that time involve shows that Rancor played. Like the Yuletide Youth Crew Fest at 180 Club in Maryland. Or the first time Floorpunch played Buffalo at that place on Military Ave. Fuck, so many great shows and some of the best times I have had in life. Every weekend, we would travel to some great show, somewhere on the east coast.<br />The singer of this band was was one of the best of all time, super animated and bounding all over the place. His head would turn bright red when they played because he would get so worked up during the songs. I always think of that when someone asks me about this band. <br />I think I included everything here: <br />Demo<br />Flip The Switch 7"<br />Never Hold Back 7"<br />Songs from The Time Is Now comp<br />Song from the Memories Of Tomorrow comp<br />Some of the music from that time didn't hold up too well. But I always thought Rancor held up quite well. I hope you enjoy the music! <br /><br />Here are a few cool live pictures that I found... <br /><a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/326913/rancor1tp1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/326913_rancor1tp1.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br />and <br /><a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/326912/916612304_l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/326912_916612304_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br />and <br /><a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/326910/916610570_l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/326910_916610570_l.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />The music is here... <br />NEW LINK!!! <a href='http://www.sendspace.com/file/tahz7e'>http://www.sendspace.com/file/tahz7e</a>Sound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-34555587143903395702008-05-10T08:20:00.000-07:002008-05-10T08:24:19.917-07:00Visual Discrimination- We Got The Edge<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/313203/20040924181214visual-crimination.JPG.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/313203_20040924181214visual-crimination.JPG" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is everything that Visual Discrimination ever recorded. <br />Visual Discrimination was a late 80's hardcore band from California. They had a much harder sound than a lot of the other straight edge bands from California around the same time. I've often heard them described as a late 80's California version of New York Hardcore. That description is not far off either. <br />Members from this band later went on to be in A Chorus Of Disapproval, where they recorded some good tunes and ruined lives with the ugly stick. Haha. <br />Enjoy the music! <br /><br />The music is here... <br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/tl3zfeSound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674351954826121327.post-20392253512644288232008-05-06T15:07:00.000-07:002008-05-06T15:32:09.354-07:00Legal Weapon- Your Weapon<a href="http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/305565/B000005ZLZ.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://s2d1.turboimagehost.com/t/305565_B000005ZLZ.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Here is the great Legal Wepaon 'Your Weapon' LP from 1982. <br />Legal Weapon was a really talented band from Los Angeles in the early 80's. All of their early material is amazing, but this LP is the best, in my opinion. This is strong melodic punk with female vocals. She can carry a tune and can effortlessly go from angry and pissed to quality singing. Man, I hate when there are female singers who have that squeaky shriek voice. I can't stand that shit. Well, if you can imagine the exact opposite of that, it is found here. Besides the stellar singing, there is also the musicianship of Frank Agnew ( Adolescents, Social Distortion, TSOL and brother of guitar wizard Rikk Agnew) and Steve Soto (from Adolescents and Agent Orange). The songs here go from fast to slow, but they are all filled with hooks and lines that will stick in your head. This is top notch music. If people are interested, I can post some of their other records. Enjoy the music! <br /><br />The music is here... <br />http://www.sendspace.com/file/rtceeoSound And Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06130502820854745903noreply@blogger.com3
