Count Me Out- Live On WPBR- Radio Set

Count Me Out was a great hardcore band from Virginia. They were around in the late 90's until about 2002. Their sound was classic straight edge hardcore and they were often compared to Chain Of Strength, especially the vocals.
Besides this radio set, there is a demo, a wonderful 7" and two LPs. They are all worth checking out, although I didn't get too into the second LP.
I saw them many times and their shows were great. Definately not a band that just stood there and played. They were always jumping and having fun. One time I saw them in Washington DC and the singer had on these super bright red shoes and then the next week a friend of mine wanted to get shoes like that, although I didn't know why since I thought they looked like clown shoes.
Before this band was called Count Me Out, they were called What The Fuck? True story.

Various Artists- Eastern Front Compilation

Here is the Eastern Front compilation.
There are some fantastic bands on here. You get songs from Channel 3, Wasted Youth, Battalion Of Saints, Shattered Faith, JFA, Circle One and a few more. There aren't any bad songs on here either, so it's a guaranteed winner.
This is all live songs and the sound quality is superb for all the bands. I don't know if these songs are all exclusive to this comp, but I figure the studio versions most likely appeared elsewhere.
This is a great comp with a lot of fantastic bands on it.
Sidenote: if anyone can upload the Circle One 'Patterns Of Force' LP and the 'Survive' LP (which has both demos and the full live set that the song on this is taken from) and any comp songs, that would be great!

Gorilla Biscuits- A Puzzle Of 38 Pieces Bootleg

Here is a Gorilla Biscuits bootleg. There are thirty eight songs. Most of them are live, but there are a few that sound like they were recorded in the studio.
I don't know when any of this is from, so if anyone reading this knows, write to me.
The good thing here is that the live stuff has great sound quality. There are also A LOT of cover songs mixed in with the live sets, so that is good, depending on your musical tastes.
There isn't a lot to write about this band that most people reading this already won't know, so enjoy the music!

And a live shot, that ended up on the back of the LP...

H-Street- Demo 1998

Here is the H-Street demo. This band was from Austria and around in the late 90's. Besides this demo, there is a 7" comp that came with a fanzine that has three of these demo songs on it. There is also a 7" that came out in 1999. The 7" is also good, so get that if you can find it.
Musically, H-Street took the late 80's straight edge sound and added some melody. They had some octave guitar parts, which added to the songs, since they were not overused. The singer of this band was pretty good, I thought the vocals fit the music quite well and sounded sincere. Great band.

China White- Dangerzone ep

Here is the great Dangerzone 12" ep from Huntington Beach hardcore punk band China White.
They took their name from the drug that had killed Darby Crash and their music was punk with a very small amount of metallic riffing. There are six songs on this and they are all hits. Song four has a great galloping riff during the main part of the song that is very memorable, as is the title track.
This band, along with TSOL and The Crowd, were the center of the attention in Orange County. Those bands put on violent shows but backed it with classic music.

Here is the cover of the Dangerzone 12". Famous photographer Edward Colver was on his way home from a show and he walked past a murder scene, the body covered in a sheet, police cars, the whole deal, he took a quick picture and went on his way. That picture is the cover for this record.

Social Distortion- 1980 Demo

What a great band! Social Distortion has been around for almost thirty years now and they still release quality records. Not many bands can claim that., most burn out after one or two records. I can listen to any Social Distortion record and still enjoy it, whether it be the first LP or the most recent one.
Here is a four song demo that I have. Three of these songs, All The Answers, Moral Threat and Playpen, are classics and appear on other releases. The fourth song, Smash The Glass, is a different version of the song Telling Them, that is on the first LP. The recording on this is pretty raw, since it is a demo, but the signature sound is still there.
Enjoy!

Here is a group picture of the band.

and here are two live shots of them playing shows in the early 80's

Rest In Pieces- My Rage LP

Here is the classic Rest In Pieces 'My Rage' LP. This is fantastic NYHC, one of the best hardcore records ever, imo.
It has two guys from Straight Ahead in it, and while it doesn't rip off Straight Ahead, you can definately hear an influence.
There are eleven songs and all of them are 'hits'. The lyrics definately take a 'tongue in cheeck' approach to the lyrics, but they don't really go into the realm of silly at all. They are fun but have meaning behind them.
The music is not completely unlike Straight Ahead, but like I said, it really isn't a rip off. There are some monster mosh parts in here and the final song is all over the map, blazing away, until it ends in a giant clash of instruments, including a non cheesy solo that fits the music perfectly.
Check it out!
Besides this, there is a 7" that is nowhere near as good as this LP. There is a 2nd LP, called Under My Skin, which take a slightly metal turn, and despite a couple good songs, it is a pretty bad record. There are a couple demos as well. One of them is called 'The Nose Demo' and it is mostly songs that are on this LP and it is very good. The sound quality is like the LP but a little more raw. I will post that eventually as well.
