Korova - Another Happy Customer

First real post in months, that Attake 7" was really just a tester. Anyways, I was emailed months and months ago, actually last April by the singer of a band called 'Korova,'asking me to upload their album 'Another Happy Customer'... But, due to a computer crash, I was outta luck for uploading anything for a few months, and by the time I got back I had forgotten completely about this band, and the fact they had asked me to put the album on the blog. Anyways, they're a hardcore band from Birmingham, Alabama, and in the singers words expressed in the email, "I think we sound like Ceremony crossed with Cult Ritual, but the recording is pretty slick compared to a lot of underground hardcore coming out right now. Really, we just rip off Black Flag really hard." Either way, these guys rip and sound great, so check the album out.

First and foremost, support the band, (maybe send them a message and ask to purchase the album?)

The Discocks - Long Live Oi!

Oi! No, but seriously. I've been listening to a shitton of sludge/crusty/anarcho shit for the last little while and then came across this old album in my library. I'd just like to bring it back to the fast, fun, furious punk rock of the early(ish) days.

The Discocks were a Pogo-Punk/Oi! group from Japan playing a lot of the typical (yet really fun) pogo-punk music that's came/coming out of places like Korea, China, Japan so on and so forth. These guys are fucking great to drink a few beers to, or even if you're simply not paying attention and you need background noise.

Honestly, this cd makes me want to put on my boots and smash shit, not even because it's angry, but because it's so fucking punk rock.

Just listen, its fun. It's also got some Business covers.

Antischism - Antischism (Discography)

A prominent South Carolina anarcho crust punk band, basically, this is Antischisms discography, self-titled. The album is 35 songs long and is pretty much fucking amazing the whole way through. More or less, it never slows down and it if does, it drags it out into a blistering short finish. It's seriously a crazy album, a few versions of songs without Lyz (female vocalist, great voice), and a few live songs I think may have been recorded in Peterborough, Ontario, close to wear we live .Band members went on to play in bands such as; In/Humanity, Initial State, .fuckingcom, Thank God, Damad and etc.

Antischism - ANTISCHISM:Discography

a//Political - Propaganda by Deed & Planting the Seed of Revolution

A//Political was active during the mid to late 90s. Their style is similar to that of many "peace punk" bands from the early 1980s and was heavily influenced by anarcho-punk bands like Crass and Conflict. Members were involved in the Crasshole Collective and the Anarcho-Punk Federation (A.P.F.). Many members were in other local punk bands such as Coexist, Flag Fallen and U.S. War Commission. Stas (vocals) also sang for Boston area anarcho-punk band, Krema-1.


Similar to bands like Crass who had shitty shitty songs, only somehow alot of these songs are surprisingly pretty catchy. Who Will Build the Roads, It's Not About Politics It's About Life, and You Are What You Consume are probably my favourite songs. I actually even used You Are What You Consume as the title of my other blog.

So this is two of their albums.

The Crasshole Collective also doubled as a record label. While they were mainly responsible for releasing their first album, "Planting the Seeds of Revolution," on tape and their 7" ep, "Propaganda by Deed" they also produced at least two compilation tapes of various politically minded bands and a tape by Flag Fallen. The musical caliber of the comp tapes varied wildly because recording quality or musical talent were not used as filter criteria. Instead, the message of the bands was the focus.
Crasshole also produced the little known and poorly recorded debut album from the now well known folk-punk band Against Me!. Only a handful of the first run were sold. (If anyone wants that Against Me! debut album, comment on this entry and I can upload it)

So yeah. "The musical caliber of the comp tapes varied wildly because recording quality or musical talent were not used as filter criteria. Instead, the message of the bands was the focus." That pretty much describes this band, even though they're kinda catchy and good. Very political lyrics. Focus more on what they're saying/singing, it's pretty smart and clever.

Maple Street Impressions - MSI

Maple Street Impressions

Who said Punk was dead?

Hailing from Maple Ontario, four young teenagers have swallowed the pill of putrid, hate and anger that is punk rock, and regurgitated it into a symphony of revolutionary noise. Taking on the task of booking their own shows, Joey, Brad, Luke and Dave have started what is to be one of the freshest, most energetic punk rock bands to grace Ontario in the last ten years. With the release of their self-entitled EP, they’ve unleashed a blitzkrieg of shows to promote their sound and band, while remaining loyal to their fan base. Stopping at nothing, this onslaught of revolutionary noise has now teamed up with the producer of the legendary third-wave ska band ‘Big D and the Kids Table’ to produce their new album which is to be released sometime this year. When we thought all hope was lost, the scene was dead and there was nothing new to look forward to, Maple Street Impressions blasted onto the Oshawa scene, and left few standing to tell the tale. They’ve worked together with such artists as local talent Keepin’ 6, and widely known creators of Horror-Punk, The Misfits. At eighteen years of age, these young geniuses have much to look forward too.

Promoting peace, non-violence and a hell of a good time partying, Maple Street provides a good anchor against human tragedy at all of their shows. For the few minutes that seem to last forever as they rip their set and shred their instruments, the reconciled world is there and then. Beyond what’s real and in front of you, Maple Street Impressions offers an escape to the ideal perfect world that we all wish to live in, a friendly environment that still leaves room for absolute chaos in the pit. With songs like ‘Dead To the Government’ and ‘No-Law,’ M.S.I. presents overt socio-political lyrics that everyone can relate to and understand, making the already upbeat, catchy tunes easily understandable for all.
