Born Bad/Duress Split

I had no fucking clue that this existed until today. I was fortunate enough to pick it up along with some other really sweet shit. Both sides are absolutely killer. Duress is dead and I guess Born Bad is soon to follow? Either way, enjoy.

Night Fever

Four words: Night Fever fucking rules. If you don't know this already you fucking POSE. This is their demo plus a little added bonus.

Violent Change

Now this is some classic shit right here. This band played two shows and released this demo (with a terribly corny layout) and that was it. Hardcore skate punk inspired by JFA, Minor Threat, etc. Features members of Razor X Fade and Poor Choice, Birth Deformities, and not to mention the legendary Tom King. DIG IT SON!

The Apocolypse Is Near...

I've finally finished cutting out/folding the covers and inserts for the Narrow Mind tapes. They will be dubbed and available for purchase in the very near future, so get your pocketbooks ready. This hot little piece of plastic will set you back two bones. Once they are fully ready to be dispersed, they'll be available through the Frankenjew Records site. There will be one hundred made, each being delicately and lovingly hand numbered. One more absolutely thrilling announcement: I've decided to turn Narrow Mind into a real band made up of, believe it or not, real live people. It will consist of Mr. James Mehdi Farabi of Socially Retarded on guitar, Mr. Kristopher Aldo Di Benedetto of Parrhesia on drums, Mr. Max Norman Winkelstein of Poor Choice on bass guitar, and myself, Mr. August James Durso III, on vocals. We will be having a tape release show in mid to late October, so be fucking ready. Stay punk.

Black Sabbath

By far my favorite album by Black Sabbath. Listen to "Cornucopia" and "Under The Sun" and you'll know exactly why. 42012, dude.

Big L

RAP ON A HARDCORE BLOG?!? I don't really listen to much rap at all, but when I heard "98 Freestyle" by Big L for the first time, I was fucking dumbfounded. This guy really knew what the fuck he was doing and it definitely shows through his songs. A lot of his lyrics utilize some intense humor and focus on day-to-day life in his hometown of Harlem. Unfortunately, he only released one full-length album, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, before he was killed in 1999. At the time of his death, he was working on his second full length, The Big Picture, which ended up being released posthumously. Dig it.
