Killer Hardcore 7”s
- Thread starter meatyogre
- Start date
Neanderthal was a pre-Man is the Bastard group that put out a brutal 7" on Slap a Ham called Fighting Music. Hard to find, but worth hearing if you can.
Other good 7"s from around that era:
First Angel Hair record on Gravity (lost my mind and moshed alone like a thousand times to this record)
First Black Dice 7" on Gravity
Man is the Bastard - Uncivilized Live 7" (containing the classics "Prune Belly" and "Hispanic Small Man Power')
Palatka/End of the Century Party 7" (for the Palatka side)
MK Ultra 7" (cover has "I Am a Man" march photos. Contains the song "Bring Me the Head of Tony Victory" and a cover of My Rules)
Fu Manchu 7" on Slap a Ham. Heaviest and best record they ever did
Gasp/Noothgrush split 7" so scary
Gasp - Drome Triler of the Puzzle Zoo People LP. They thank Hawkwind and it's like hardcore+Hawkwind. One of the dudes in this band is named PROFESSOR CANTELOUPE

They also had a split 7" with Rorschach, one of the first Vermiform releases I believe?
I didn't know Fu Manchu had a record on Slap-a-ham, RADD
AOF's amazing debut LP - great songwriting with 3-guitar attack
Discharge-style political brutality (bay area stand up)
Unfuckwithable NC hardcore/metal xover
Super-raw German thrash 45
Killer 1983 thrash with very catchy tunes, even a ballad. Re-released around 1989 with a bonus 45 of even better songs (ATL stand up)
Tales of Terror's album on CD Presents is 100% balls-out hardcore drunken acid-dropping skaterock but good luck finding the album (or JPG).
My band played with Happy Go Licky at 9:30 club back around '87 - they were effing amazing. Totally rocking a proto Gang Of Four-type sound before that band had barely bit the dust. Kip from Neon Christ (later of B'Last) was in the audience which delighted me to no end.

Animosity is under appreciated if anything. Pray, Pray for power!

Dude, from 1983-86, these guys were the fucking most amazingly intense band you could ever hope to see. You just missed the boat, what can I say. This album still holds up and is pretty much essential if you have even a passing interest in speedmetal. There's a reason Slayer and Metallica wore COC shirts back in the day. Respect the architects.

Yah, I think you had to be there dude.
But to say mid-80s hardcore is 'not my thing' would be an understatement (though Bad Brains, Germs, Black Flag and Slayer are all still MY SCHITT)
EDIT: if I still have this LP I'll revisit, its been many years

COC was the first big hardcore show i saw and it scared me. it was amazing and exciting and, yes, scary. the venue is now a latin bar famous for its drag shows. pretty apt, no?
and co-sign on discharge and if i can, i'd like to add nausea as a band you might want to check out.

A B'Last from the P'Ast, damn! What band is your band? VEGAN AVENGERS?
The live recordings of HGL are essential. Wailing feedback with Nitzer Ebb playing in the background, and some fucking Learn French recordings. Truth Revealed: I sewed a Peterbilt patch on my mechanic jacket when I accumulated the entire discography.
Speaking of B'Last... (((FUCKIN WITH MY HEAD)))
COC was one of the first shows i ever went to (sadly, around the time of Technocracy), and not only that, but Marco's old band Days Of opened! I revisited Animosity not long ago, still one of my fave LPs. funny, i was so anti-crossover back then but still leapt around my living room to "intervention." Their first album has its moments too, like the cover of green manalishi. RABID DOG...EATING FLESH

The "LIKE GOLD DOWN A SEWER" entries are the ones to check, and feature quotes from scene notables like Jon from Superchunk, several COC members, Bob from Honor Role (another AMAZING band of the era) and even yours truly:
PS - Thanks for the B'last MP3, Bam. Why they just didn't call themselves B'lack Flag I'll never know. Though Woody from COC did used to sport an amazing shirt with the "bars" logo that said B'LAST SABBATH.

COC's first LP was the first hardcore record I bought, I believe.
'Animosity' was and is an amazing LP. Solid throughout.
Did someone mention Happy Go Licky? I have some live cassettes of them, and they are great. Better than the 12" they did on Peterbilt, imo.
Speaking of DC, I remember living there in the summer of '90 and seeing The Nation of Ulysses at DC Space and some house parties. They were simply amazing. And great records to boot.
I also highly recommend Laughing Hyenas - post Negative Approach lead singer continues the heavines with some amazing, from the gut vocals. I played that for a friend in college and she thought I was nuts for listening to it.
WELL I'LL REMEMBER YOU ALL THING CONSIDERED I DO I DREAMT ABOUT THAT HOUSE LAST NIGHT BLAH BLAH YOUR FUCKING FIRE TRUCKS I'M BACK SLEEPING OR FUCKING OR SOMETHING
This band killed it, period.
the real Moss Icon shit is the unreleased songs that Ebullition did that sound kind of like a jam band. MOTH is so sick
yes.
co-sign to the max.
oh yea - so Easy Action, the new Brannon record. not a great listen for me. i love negative approach and laughing hyenas, they were fun and dark and fucked-up and creepy and sexy and musically brilliant. Easy Action doesn't sound too fun or exciting and is kinda sorta jock-ish sounding. nahmean?
