Ink & Dagger - For All The Fucked Up Children... Ink & Dagger, Live on WKDU
Hardcore - Check.
Vampires - Check.
Eric of Tim & Eric's Awesome Show - Check?
Ink & Dagger were a hardcore band with a cult-like following from Philadelphia. Known for their fixation on vampires and pushing the hardcore genre, their career was cut short by the death of their singer. They'll be reuniting in August, with Thursday's Geoff Ricky on vocals, for at least one gig at This Is Hardcore Fest.
This is them playing live on WKDU back in '98, and definitely a must have for any fan. I don't know if Eric Wareheim actually played on this or not, but he did play bass in the band at some point.
Das Oath - Who's Your Daddy? 11"
Das Oath's Myspace
Das Oath was Mark McCoy's band after Charles Bronson and hands down my favorite band of his (and one of my all around favorite bands in general).
They released a ton of material in a rather short time, most of which was only on vinyl and self-titled.
Everything they do is intense.
The music is mix of thrashcore, noise, and punk, and is some of the loudest, fastest music on earth. The vocals are unintelligible yet passionate and unlike anything I've ever heard. Their merch booth sold Das Oath brand vibrators and records with cover art to controversial to sell anywhere else.
This was their last album, which, according to the Ebullition newsletter, is called Who's Your Daddy? It's often confused with the Mini LP 11", and sometimes with the Korperkultur 10".
For those who are still confused (maybe more so now than they were before), the track listing on this one is:
1.Reliquary/Scrapped
2.Twinkle In An Eye About To Be Blackened
3.Tropical Malady
4.The Terror, The Delight, And The Unendurable Pointlessness Of Trying
5.Years of Veneers
6.All The Songs Have Been Sung
I love this band immensely so it's only a matter of time before I post the rest of their discography.
Now prepare to have your head get blown.
The Legendary San Diego Chargers/Sunnyside - Give 'Em Enough Booze
The Legendary San Diego Chargers' Myspace
Sunnyside's Myspace
Here's a nice nice little pop punk split from two good bands.
TLSDC are three guys from Pretty Boy Thorson/The Slow Death, plus the drummer from Dear Landlord.
Sunnyside has members of Dan Padilla and Tiltwheel.
Charles Bronson/Quill - Split 7"
Charles Bronson's Myspace
Quill - Myspace? Last.fm? Anything?
This post goes out to Ari who's currently in Isreal, and apparently in need of some Charles Bronson. To that end, here's their split with Quill, a thrashcore/powerviolence band from Japan who, as far as I can tell, only ever put out two splits, this being one of them.
Overall, the album is pretty unrelenting. Fifteen tracks of lo-fi powerviolence delivered in nine minutes, lot's of screaming, lot's of fuzz.
It only really lets up for the sound bites.
Enjoy.
Underdog - Live from Asbury Lanes 7"
Underdog's Myspace
Underdog were a New York hardcore band with a penchant for throwing dub and reggae into the mix, much like Bad Brains. They re-released their discography last month and they have a few shows coming up, so hopefully this will all lead to a full blown reunion.
Here's them playing live at Asbury Lanes, a bowling alley/venue in New Jersey.
Apocalypse Meow/Rational Anthem - Split 7"
Apocalypse Meow's Myspace
Rational Anthem's Myspace
Here's another split 7".
Rational Anthem has been getting a lot of buzz of the "they sound like Dillinger Four" variety. I don't really see the similarities between the two (and you know how much I love comparing bands to D4) but they're still alright by me.
Apocalypse Meow are probably best known for their split with Andrew Jackson Jihad. I don't know all that much about them, but by combining two of my favorite things (pop punk and kitties), they've secured a special place in my heart. Oh, and did I mention that they're catchy as all hell?
Check back soon if you like this, since I'll probably post more from both bands in the near future.
