Lackey Die

LACKEY DIE was the first hardcore band to come out of Charlottesville, VA. This 2010 7" is a collection of recordings from both 1984 (Side A) and 1985 (Side B). This shit totally rips, the first side is utterly perfect.

Brown Sugar

At this point, this band needs no introduction. This record picks up exactly where the LP left off. I was anticipating this record for so fucking long, especially after hearing that it was a split release between Feral Kid Rex and Fashionable Idiots Rex. Let me tell ya kids, it has drastically exceeded my expectations. So. Fucking. Perfect.

The Secret Prostitutes

I fucking love this band. It's weird though, I've found that there's no middle ground with these guys. People either love em or hate em. I feel like it has to do primarily with the vocals. They're extremely high-pitched and squeaky and snotty and all around fucking awesome. The music is ULTRA poppy and extremely catchy. They close the record with a NUBS cover and it really couldn't be any better. Get in2 it.

FINALLY. The splits are finally in and they couldn't be more perfect. You already know what to expect from these bands and I'm not even gonna bother writing a description because you're going to download this regardless. Right? Right.

BETTER GET EM FAST CUZ THEY'RE ALREADY ALMOST GONE!


The color vinyl is fucking beautiful. Hands down the best colored vinyl in my entire collection. Nick had to get this pressed at an entirely different pressing plant than the black vinyl.

Sea Of Shit

THEY BACK AND THEY PISSED. I've been waiting for this record to come out for quite some time. Robby just had to tease us with the tape version first and he even sent me the MP3s before that. So needless to say, I've been anticipating this slab of wax for months. It has lived up to every ounce of my expectations. This thang picks up where their split with SOCIALLY RETARDED (R.I.P.) left off, only it's ten times as pissed and even faster. I gotta say that my favorite part about this record is Robby's vokills; they're too sick. GRINDING VIOLENCE.

I would recommend that you pick this up.

Brown Sugar

FUCK YES. This is undoubtedly my favorite record of the year, tied only with the new SPITS LP that just came out. My band was fortunate enough to play with BROWN SUGAR in Indiana last night and for me it was like finally getting to scratch a three year itch. I've been wanting to see these guys for the longest time and it was everything I could've hoped for and more. Honestly one of the most fun live bands I've ever seen. After the release of two 7"s out of nowhere, BROWN SUGAR returns with a full out onslaught incarnated in twelve inches of wax. If yer a true punk you already know what to expect from these goons. I think my favorite song on this has to be "Brown Eyed Girl / Copper Helicopter" or their very interesting rendition of "Blow," which was originally on their notorious Deportation EP. Stop reading this and just fucking listen already.

Vile Nation

Hot damn. This 7" fucking kills me every time I listen to it. This is VILE NATION'S second and final 7" and I must say, what a way to go out. The echo on "No War, No Future" is so fucking perfect and abrasive, it penetrates my ear holes and runs laps in my brain for weeks on end. This record is drastically different than their No Exit EP. The first record seems to have a heavier emphasis on bands like D.R.I. with all the drum cuts and choppy riffs whereas this record is just straight up, cla$$ic 80s hardcore, influenced by bands like GANG GREEN and PUTRID FEVER. This record is red hot, dripping wet.
