RULETA RUSA - Aqui No Es + 2 cassette $6
Firstly the cassette comes with two songs not featured on the LP. You can call that a bonus.
RULETA RUSA are outta San Francisco composed with some members of
PELIGRO SOCIAL and BORN DEAD. "Aqui No Es" is the band's debut full
length album. RULETA RUSA dresses up ESKORBUTO and less dynamic COLERA
punk rock styling with MOTORHEAD inspired hardcore/punk, something like
INEPSY or SKITKIDS. Vocals are in Spanish, to their benefit. Lots of
rad little guitar leads avoiding wankery. RULETA RUSA turned out a
strict Spanish punk rock n roll powerhouse.

GENERACION SUICIDA / CATHOLIC SPIT - Split 7" $6.00
GENERACION SUICIDA continue their brand of punk that feels like it came from a Danish band during the KBD revival circa 2004. I feel like that sounds lame but GENERACION SUICIDA are really really good at it. MASSHYSTERI is thrown around often in conjunction with GENERACION SUICIDA. I feel GORILLA ANGREB fits the bill a bit better but that might just be splitting hairs.
It was immediately apparent that CATHOLIC SPIT's approach is from another land than what I'd just heard. No redundancy is a plus. Can CATHOLIC SPIT firmly plant both feet? Slowly pacing bass and drum underline a dreamy depersonalized guitar. Introductions end rather abruptly and the song picks up at the crack of incredible female voice. It was the same vocals as THE SICK THINGS in my head!!! The aloft guitar drops in some narrowing the gap of lucidity. Post-punk bass lines like AU PAIRS, GANG OF FOUR or DELTA 5 trying to win the hundred meter dash gives the songs a bright feeling. A synth and double guitars on duty produce a result like a complex and layered version of NERVOSAS.

IGUANA DE BANDA (iggy & the stooges) - Etiqueta Negra De Lugo lp $18.00
The best set of Raw Power outtakes to date. Some how there are previously unreleased mixes, alternate takes, instrumentals and tracks. The infamous Ni**er Man finally sees the light of day on the LP.
Limited to 1,000 copies.
NARCOLEPTICS - Demo cassette $5.00
2013 is a year dedicated to reissues, but there's been some demos that give hope for flesh blood to the next few years. NARCOLEPTICS' demo is one of them. Like FRAMTID's new lp sees them stepping further into hardcore territory than before, in concept NARCOLEPTICS are much the same. These demo songs could have made a good, straight ahead hardcore demo. Instead NARCOLEPTICS has the right amount of fuzzed out noise guitar tone to make distinct road rash raw guitar riffs, backed up by frantic d-beat drumming and cranked bass distortion. The vocals have enough reverb to be noticeable without going over the top. The little bit of this and little bit of that flavor with the great songwriting displayed here make a killer.
Limited to 100 copies.
DROPPINGS - Issue 1 zine + cassette $4.00
Droppings includes an Atlanta Scene Report, interviews with JOINT D≠, TOTAL CONTROL, KREMLIN, & GARY WRONG. Comes with a cassette featuring tracks from the interviewed bands (minus Kremlin) and a smattering of Atlanta bands from the past and present. Look out for issues 2 & 3 coming soon.
16 pages.
LIP CREAM - Lonely Rock 7" $10.50
Official reissue for one of the definitive Japanese hardcore records. Japan import.

BRAIN CAR / BAD TASTE - Split 7" $6.00
Rochester's BAD TASTE put out a split single with fellow townies BRAIN CAR,
where they spend some 3 odd minutes in "Warzone High" drooling and
groaning in a bad trip mess of warbling guitar lines and sloppy hangover
drumming. The whole thing sounds like it was written and recorded on
the spot in a neglected, vandalized high school bathroom by a bunch of
pimple-faced freaks, smoking ditch wee and cutting class. The kinda
noise made by kids who pretended their BMX bikes are Harley's and who
cruise around town mean mugging, trying to convince the rest of the
world. Inspired by them, I wanted to write a bit about a couple tracks
of crude psychedelia (I'm using this term generously), exposed to me
within or through punk - It's a weird world. Thanks to the people who
turned me on to this shit...
(Concrete Gorilla)
BRAIN CAR are true self absorbed assholes who enjoy subjecting meager audiences into submission, both live and on-record. Using a BEACH BOYS hit as their crutch, BRAIN CAR shovel syrupy goof in stereo for two stinkin' minutes. Let your color fly, or don't.

GENERACION SUICIDA - Con La Muerte A Tu Lado lp $11.00In 1977 LA, THE PLUGZ, THE ZEROS, X and ALICE BAG would be wishing they played like GENERACION SUICIDA.
When the KBD revival bubble burst almost a decade ago GENERACION SUICIDA would have easily held their own. Even with the numerous Danish heavy hitters like YOUNG WASTENERS, NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS, COLA FREAKS and GORILLA ANGREB, whom they most closely resemble out of that troupe. Considering it isn't cool to be doing some '77 punk style band at the moment I don't see much room posturing and cool points. Real deal punk couldn't have come at a better time. Lyrics in Spanish too. All around good record.

NERV - Life? 7" $6.50NERV blisters off the speakers with the only thing holding it
together is a mutual love of falling apart. A bomb that can't explode
hard enough or fast enough collapses in on itself. These songs are
nearly as terminal as h100s frenzied blasts.
NUBS - Job 7" $7.00Last place at the Special Olympics huffing gas couldn't be this dumb.
One of the greatest punk songs ever. 33 years for this classic to get
reissued is insanity. Previously resorting to the numerous bands that
cover "Job" cause $150 price tag was in the way has gone by the wayside.
Last Laugh sold out of these in just under a week. Grab this before
it too become a collectors item.
This split comes just in time for
Halloween including a bloody wolf mask! Blast the record and put on
that mask while handing out firecrackers, broken circuit boards and raw
meat laced with LSD to the kids in your hood.
GARY WRONG GROUP is indeed a Dream Smasher or perhaps nightmare maker. GARY WRONG GROUP finely craft a soundscape of sci-fi awe with fateful undertones. Any fears are given life in the crackin of smashing glass and a voice from a broken megaphone. If that isn't enough it is a second person narrative of fear.
We get the first (maybe only/last) WIZZARD SLEEVE track after some time. Loupgarou comes terrorizing in to quickly slow to a lurch. A drone of noise like an opium smoking aboriginal on a didgeridoo intermittently interrupted with a foreboding, cliff hanging guitar riff. Lyrics come in with enough reverb that you see the springs inside the amp jiggling in your mind alongside WIZZARD SLEEVE's notable dark tones. The frequency of these bursts increases. The ferocity rises to screams and guitars collapse to horrid noise.

TYVEK - Domestic Five Cassette $5.50
Five new songs in practice/demo tape-style. Recorded direct to boombox for maximum transparency/opacity! (for the wussies, it sounds great) No hi-speed dubbing-- tape is already fast, duh. NSA has not heard this tape.
NO FUCKER - Conquer The Innocent 7" $5.00
A storage shed had been holding dead stock copies of NO FUCKER's final ep, Conquer The Innocent, captive years after it has been out of print. Recently unleashed and now terrorizing the public again! Raw, Swedish style hardcore/punk from upstate New York. A wall of white noise from CRUDITY, a back bone of heavy guitar riffs a la ANTI CIMEX and SHITLICKERS driven by a DISCHARGErhythm. Released in 2008 and called a masterpiece by some. In their time NO FUCKER seemed to go rather unnoticed beyond the nuttiest punk connoisseurs. Today not much has changed and their records are desirable. Not in the 'Crazy rare. I want this just for ebay.' bullshit. Rather the 'I want to blare this fucker! sort.
INVOCATION OF OBSCENE GODS #3 $4.00
Brought you by Backwoods Butcher Records care of skull crusher Doug Long. Sixty four half-sized pages of obnoxious filth for the literate idiot. Interviews with COCKNOOSE, AUTOPSY, BREATHILIZOR, SKULLHOG, VICKERS, Steveggs of P.O.E. / NUTSCREAMER plus another classic old interview with RUPTURE, more GEROGERIGEGEGE obsession, a live report from CSMD, general wisdom from Dr. Jason Wade, stupid columns and reviews of awful records. A cavalcade of maturity and good taste!

but, even bit if of their musical flavor in the six deranged songs for
punk freaks on this ep. Maybe pigs will fly now that I used THE MUMMIES and HEWHOCORRUPTS side by side. I never thought I'd see the day. But this really is like THE MUMMIES
gone hardcore. Abrasive, intense, in your face, skronk rock and
fucking roll. Garage/Punk/Hardcore: now we all can unite, hold hands
and fuck some shit up.
