MAKILADORAS - niemandsland - lp - £8
...yes!! After loads of difficulties, this finally sees a light of day!! Makiladoras were one of the absolute best Dutch bands of the previous decade - the SACRILIGE for the 00s - releasing an amazing lp, 10" and split ep before splitting up. This, their 2nd and final lp, was supposed to have come out on Profane Existence many years ago but after loads of difficulties the master was finally returned, with Ruin Nation stepping up to unleash this on the world after all. This final release includes 8 post mortem tracks of a full throttle slayer/at the gates guitar ridden metal punk. Recorded by Dirk Kusche at Bremens Kuchelrock Studios, the man responsible for that famous heavy Bremen sound (Systral, Morser etc.).
MORNINGTON CRESCENT - lp - gummopunx records - £7.50
...assuming we are all reasonable and sane human beings and can therefore all agree that 80s Dutch hardcore/punk fucking rules..... This contains their classic 1982 demo "Cassette 1" and their legendary "Greetings From Amsterdam" ep from 1983....it also containts the wonderful 1st mix of said ep, including 3 previously unreleased tracks!
TEARGAS - the way of all the flesh - lp - £7
"...Debut 12" from this Australian hardcore band that play in the Japanese style (as if you couldn't tell by the cover art). While Teargas are clearly inspired by the huge riffs and epic leads of bands like Death Side, you can tell they're also hip to the raw, blown-out sound of more recent Japanese crust bands like Framtid and Kriegshog. The result is a complete monster of an LP... while it doesn't quite have the off-the-charts energy level of the last two bands I mentioned, as with, say, Forward, the band more than makes up for that with a tight, rocking edge. Fucking beastly shit here."
INFERNOH - lp -£12.50
....here's one that will show in many MRR end of year list for 2012... Blazing Swedish discharge/cimex/totalitar/avskum influenced hardcore punk! Members of SKITKIDS, FY FAN, HERATYS and SKIPLICKERS. Thet sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of hell!
GIFTGASATTACK - 5" - £5
...one copy left, super limited pressing, fucking great raw Swedish hardcore punk...

Los Monjo / Aspirina Infantil - split ep - £4.50
"Rad pair-up between one Mexican and one Spanish band. Guadalajara's Los Monjo are up first, and while I've enjoyed pretty much all of their numerous records so far, they really knock this one out of the park... holy shit, they pretty much sound EXACTLY like prime-era Eskorbuto on these tracks. Huge, simple riffs, insanely catchy choruses, and a driving, HC-inspired backbeat. SHIT... if you dig old Spanish punk you NEED this one. As for Aspirina Infantil, they turn in two very different tracks. The first one definitely has a Clash-inspired vibe that I associate with old Spanish punk, but with just the slightest touch of rockabilly / 50s rock and roll to keep things fresh. Their other track is really weird, sounding more like a mid-80s Pusmort Records kind of thing, but without the huge production... it's definitely HC, but kind of quirky HC a la Christ on Parade or something like that. Their tracks aren't as immediately appealing as Los Monjo's, but they're certainly good. Gorgeous three-color silk screened artwork rounds out this bad-boy and makes it pretty essential for fans of Spanish punk. Metadona Records"
....what Sorry State said above.....total fucking winner!

new 6 song EP by VAASKA from Austin, Texas. After two 12"s on Todo Destruido and 540 records this is their first 7" EP and on here they have taken a slightly new direction, away from the early raw sound. This 7" has it all, great power, hooks and vocals in Spanish. This 7"s features 6 hits clocking in at just under 10 minutes. Recorded again by Hanz Zimmerman, Mastered by Jack Control and beautifully packaged in gloomy artwork by Brian Miller. Besides the lyric insert this EP comes with a double sided silk screened inner sleeve printed by the Big Double Os.
DL 50 - hardcore desde... - ep - £3.50
Raw as fuck hardcore punk from PARAGUAY...if you dig any of the metallic raw rough Columbian stuff, Massacre 68, Olho Seco etc. etc. check this out. Great.
PEACEBASTARD - 2nd ep - Heartfirst Records - £4
"It is 2012 and most of your friends decided that neo crust and 80s USHC revival is over, instead they all listen to music like lo-fi black metal and neo folk and play in bands that recycle post-punk, goth or power pop like their heroes from the US, Sweden and Barcelona. PEACEBASTARD do not fall into any of those categories. They remind me of something else: There was a time in the 1990s when the European DIY hardcore punk was totally happening. Bands like UNHINGED, QUARANTINE, EBOLA, HEALTH HAZARD, LOST WORLD etc. toured the squats of Europe, bringing fast and powerful punk with great female vocals to the dread-locked, soap-free youth. After flooring the audiences with their music the band members would hang out with the locals and drink until the sun came up. Some people still remember that style, even though it is kinda uncool today. Many moons ago in Berlin, three guys who had been around the block for a while formed the band PEACEBASTARD, what they played was not quite "crust" and not quite "d-beat" (even though they liked to describe themselves as that). To me they were just pure old-style hardcore punk impact! After playing out for some time as a three-piece PEACEBASTARD recruited the singer from a famous Swedish band on vocal duties. And as a four piece they really reached the next level. HeartFirst is very happy to release their second EP after their 5-song debut EP. This one has 6 new songs that are fast, angry and rocking at the same time. The 7" comes packaged in a four-color silk screened cover done by the Big Double Os and with a special label attached, as the band tried to get away from the usual artwork for this kind of musical style. But most of all, you should go and see this band live and if you have any money left after drinking and pain killers, maybe you want to buy this EP."

SYSTEM DEFECTOR - tape
Order: r_vergeldt (a) h0tmail (dot) com
SYSTEM DEFECTOR - demo tape - (opiate/tadpole/alta intensidaz/system defector) - £3
Our good friend Teo (Otan/Destruccion) moved from Barcelona to Brighton to learn English. During his time here we occaccionally got together to make some noise. Darren (Tadpole Records) holds drum sticks, I hold a bass, Dave does vocals...none of us can even remotely play...but Teo is a force of nature, 100% energy and conviction, pure inspiration, and so we somehow even end up recording these 5 songs of political "scruffy punk" (as Teo would call it) late 2011. Inepth, raw, no talent required (and definitely none involved), basic as fuck punk...!
