Beaver - Beaver (1981)

One of DC's most underrated. Beaver were one of those DC bands unfortunate enough to not get a release on the ever-popular Discord Records and instead choosing 300 copies on 'Choice Cuts Records.' As a result, they fell into obscurity. However, those lovable assholes at Dr. Strange Records (Check out their YouTube channel) reissued that EP along with a demo recorded the same year. Here they are. Brill!

Strike Under - Immediate Action (1981)

This record is a bit different to the rest of the American Hardcore pack...which is why I love it! It sorta has a Post-Punk-y feel (Closing In reminds me of No Love Lost by Joy Division), along with kinds Proto-Alt Rock/Indie Rock numbers (Elephant's Graveyard), aggressive Punk Rock (Context) and balls-out Hardcore (Immediate Action). Not to mention the masterpiece that is Sunday Night Disorientation. I ripped this one off YouTube (Courtesy of Felopunk) and now it's here. Original and underrated!

Negative Element - Yes, We Have No Bananas! (1983)

Here's another record! Chicago's Negative Element is one of that scene's most fondly remembered bands. Here's their only record. Also, the audio is slightly higher-pitched for some reason, so if that annoy you, sorry.

Depression - The Reactor Records Years (2008)

Okay, I know it's been a long while but, I have been very busy recently so, I've had no time to work on this blog, which barely gets any traffic anyway. I've also noticed that all of my links are dead so, if there's a link you still want up, let me know and I'll sort it out.

Anyway, here is one of Australia's most loved Hardcore groups, Depression. I downloaded this from PunkTorrents and converted the flacs to mp3s. I edited the tags a bit and put it all in a rar file and here it is. About the band, they started in 1982 and ended in 1989. This CD contains all of their most cherished work on it. The 'Money Chain' single, the self-titled LP from 1985, the 'Australia, Australia' 12" EP, and their first demo in 1982. A brilliant one you need to download. Most people (Including I) say that the first wave of Hardcore was on the way out in '85, but bands like this kept it kicking for a little while longer...before they jumped on the Metal bandwagon, producing some Crossover Thrash records that I have yet to hear.

Leave me alone, ya buncha wan'ers! (REPOSTED 28/12/2018)
