The Wonder Himself Wondered Himself to Death

Leather Studded Diaphragm - Bump and Grind With...

2011-03-29T17:27:00.007-04:00

This is a really weird record. I picked it up for 99¢ with no knowledge of the band or label but only an admiration of the cover and liner notes. And a year later I still know absolutely nothing about them. There is no common thread between these tracks; each song is completely strange and original in its own way. Definitely the kind of band that would be more fun to hang out with than to listen to, but overall a decent piece of wax.

1. Get Your Hand Off My Cock
2. But Enough About You, Let's Talk About Me
3. Living With The Dead
4. I Think I'm Disappearing

Teenage Whore Moans - Moan All Nite Long

2010-10-20T22:19:00.007-04:00

This band was my Sex Pistols. I was young and impressionable, pogoing in the back, hatching my own sleazy garage rock songs as the show went on and as everyone became intoxicated beyond coherence. Of course their entire career spanned a few months; truly kings of the Philly rock 'n' roll frontier.

What Happens Next? - Hollow Victory

2010-09-20T13:18:00.004-04:00

What Happens Next? is a thrashcore psuedo-supergroup (featuring members of Spazz, Capitalist Casualties, and two-time US National Air Guitar champion Hot Lixx Hulahan). This record is super political and shows a great taste in covers. You better recognize 'em.

1. Invisible, Impenetrable, Ignored
2. Red Lights, Tin Roofs
3. Hollow Victory
4. Too Close To Home
5. Stand Still
6. The Human Condition
7. Salmat Kaibigan

Nagant 1895 - Giorno Di Maggio

2010-09-18T17:21:00.005-04:00

Dystopia's influence must have been fast and far-reaching in the 90's. The music is typically crust and the vocals are typically Italian (meaning completely deranged and frightening), but the record atypically good. The translations given in the insert are so confusing and broken that I cannot even understand what this band is about. Enjoy it for what it is.

1. Non Fiori Ma Opere Di Bene
2. Niños De Rua
3. Nuovi Modelli
4. Il Dramma Della Storia
5. Apostasia

Chainsaw To The Face/Backslider Split

2010-09-15T13:53:00.001-04:00

The award for best split of 2010 is shared by these two bands. Half sickening grind/powerviolence and half blazing fastcore. Incredibly complex songs masked by length and speed on Backslider's part. They are Philly's best as far as I'm concerned, and I don't think I can be convinced otherwise. This rip is not the best, so even more incentive for you to buy this while there are still copies floating around.

1. Chainsaw To The Face - Swallow Your Tongue
2. Chainsaw To The Face - Attrition
3. Chainsaw To The Face - Flies To Shit

Corm - The Conservation Of Momentum

2010-09-08T22:43:00.000-04:00

This is the second EP and the best of vinyl from these guys. They put out a full-length the next year which sounds very much like these tunes and is now back in print (unfortunately in digital format), and I highly recommend picking it up.

2. America Drinks Beer

Corm - Custom Cool

2010-09-08T19:04:00.000-04:00

Well, I have a few free days so I might as well get these out of the way. This is Corm's first release, a four song EP. All great songs, finishing up with a solid instrumental.

1. And You Say

V/A - Vehicle

2010-09-07T23:35:00.000-04:00

This is a decent emo compilation from the mid-90's. Special note should be taken of the second band on this compilation (who contribute easily the best song of the four). I came into possession of this by a complete stroke of luck and since then I've been on the lookout for all things Corm. I will upload the other records of theirs that I have when I get around to it for those of you who appreciate this track as greatly as I do.

1. Holy Rollers - Sunshine
2. Corm - Seven Days

Supercharger - Rev It Up!

2010-04-16T17:39:00.003-04:00

Mummies protégés and garage rockers. Filed somewhere in the middle of 90's garage rock revival, these guys had one killer LP and a handful of 7"s that are just as good as this.

1. Rev It Up
2. I Got None
3. Take a Hint

Orchid - Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow!

2010-04-02T12:04:00.000-04:00

I'm always wary of buying screamo records, because screamo is a pretty broad genre in which I'm inexperienced, but every so often I get lucky and something like this falls into my hands. Orchid is the antithesis of Assfactor 4 (my other favorite band), blending hardcore, screamo, and grindcore with absolutely no humor and enough literary references to satisfy any librarian.

1. Destination: Blood!
2. To Praise Prothesis
3. Lights Out
4. Anna Karina
5. I Am Nietzche
6. Victory Is Ours
7. Don't Rat Out Your Friends
8. Black Hills
9. Snow Delay at the Frankfurt School
10. ...And the Cat Turned to Smoke

The Invisible Men - Frustrator

2010-03-06T16:05:00.002-05:00

This is a short one: an original tune, a Dwarves cover, and a Dwarves cover played backwards at 2x speed. Shortly after this release these guys must have gotten tired of ripping off the Mummies and made a couple of decent surf records, though nothing quite as good as this in my opinion. I think they did the Mummies almost as well as the Mummies did.

1. Frustrator
2. Real Creepy (That's Me)
3. Reel Creepy (Dub Mix)

Bloody Mannequin Orchestra - Roadmap to Revolution

2010-02-28T19:51:00.001-05:00

This is the band I aspire to be in- no one knows how to play their instruments, but without anything better to do, why not put out a record with your friends? Every song on this record is killer and there is absolutely no consistency in the style throughout. Each track is a new journey into the weirdness of BMO and their bored adolescent minds. The rotation of singers is my favorite aspect of this band. The record starts off with what sounds like a victim of poor dentistry but quickly changes into Beat Happening and soon after Lydia Lunch, and, in my opinion, without a single miss.

1. Cauldron of Fright
2. Streets of Saigon
3. Children Encased
4. Meal at McDonalds
5. Ritual
6. Man in Glass
7. On the Verge of Nothing
8. Book of Lies

V/A- Bouncing Babies

2010-02-02T14:16:00.001-05:00

I bought this for $20 which seemed like a great deal until I got home and realized it was warped to shit. Still one of my all-time favorite comps even though the last few songs on the rip sound kinda bad. Hopefully you can ignore that. And the traces of ska-punk that you can hear if you listen closely. So many good bands on this, though, especially tracks by a well-disguised United Mutation (you should be able to guess which one) and Beaver, who sound like some kind of brilliant, lo-fi pre-Government Issue mess.

1. Dove - Ambivalence
2. Crippled Pilgrims - Black and White
3. Body Count - Bull in a China Shop
4. Lucky Pierre - Looking Back
5. Underground Soldier - Sunday Slaughter

7. Exiled - Guilt Trip
8. Scream - Ultra Violence/Screaming
