Various Artists - Empty Skulls Vol.#2, The Wound Deepens
Fartblossom Enterprizes Records 1986 Lp

Le morceau qui sort du lot est celui de Stranglehold pour moi (voir Crash&Burn chez db) même si chaque groupe tire son épingle du jeu en y ajoutant sa personalité corrosive, surtout C.O.C. bien-sûr. Le titre des Ugly Americans est sans doute leur moins bon alors c'est limite comme promotion mais bon, faudra que je rippe la compile "Complete Death" chez Metal Blade Records de la même année pour remédier à celà. Sinon, les White 'n' Hairy me sont inconnus et leur morceau, s'il traine en longueur, a un je-ne-sais-quoi des F-Word qui n'est pas pour me déplaire...
A noter que le premier volume de Empty Skulls était paru en 1984 format cassette et que vous pouvez la trouver chez Good Bad Music en dl. A noter aussi que malgré la proposition en dos de couverture, aucun volume 3 ne vit le jour.

Best Of UNSOUND BANDS 1983-'85
Welfare Records 2011 Lp
Read Label's full history with infos on the featured bands right THERE.
Concluding the raw yet still spicy & crunchy recent plates on db is a compilation that 30 years later still shows how DIY could be ass kicking without the need of a big massive sound but only some inspiration and punch, and of course a lot of self-derision. Dig S.F.N. drummer was only 12 at the time!Take this right into your mouth and use your teeth for a change for this ain't no spoon-feed aural nutrition! And yup, Glenheads is insane shitte haha.
Vinyl ripped with love, madness and dMC Auxiliary Input straight to Wave, each track edited with EAC then 224~320kbs VBR Mp3 using db powerAMP (what else?)... tags & scans included as usual, simply enjoy and burp along. Got cash? Buy it!!!
A noter que S.F.N. a sorti "Itching" un Ep 7'' 8 titres en 2010 chez 625 Thrash Core.

Satans Cheerleaders - Hell Is For Hippies
Welfare Records 2011 CD+DVD
Sometimes these “discography” discs are quite interesting, because they offer the opportunity to see a group of fledgling musicians, in this case four punkers hailing from somewhere in 1980s NY, find their sound. The band’s name has “the original” prefixed right above it, ostensibly to prevent confusion between these cats, who existed 1983-85 or so, and the band that put out a buncha vinyl on Sympathy For The Record Industry years later.The forty-one tracks here come from three different demos, one from each of their years of existence. The first, Created in Your Image, is a straight-up garage recording, with thrashy tempos and howled vocals spit out via a raw-as-fuck recording, resulting in a sound that sits somewhere between early Adrenaline OD and Connecticut legends Seizure. The second demo, Bark Twice for Freedom, reins in the chaos a bit—though the tempos are still largely zippy, the tunes show a wee bit more sophistication—and the recording sounds like a more traditional four-track affair. By the third, the heretofore unreleased Hell is for Hippies, however, the band has tempered their hardcore with a sound that might be comparable (if one was really stretching) to, say, the Minutemen, albeit with a helluva lot less funk and a helluva lot more Beefheart.
Though each era is not without its charms, for my money this last bit of mania is the real gem here, where the band took those early influences and forged a sound that was all their own. Hippies was a demo for an album that, apparently, was never recorded, which is a damned shame ‘cause it would’ve easily been considered a classic of punk’s freakier fringe, based on what’s here.
The DVD is footage of the band thrashing up a thirty-plus minute set in their garage, with sound that’s raw but discernable. (Jimmy Alvarado @ Welfare)

If ya really feel the urge to, ya can get "Ass Backwards" 1984 demo, this one being only vocals/guitar rehearsal stuff included in the previous db's plate THERE!Also, make sure to check out the deliciously insane discography of Insanity Defense served here on db or prepare to die by the (s)word!
CD rip, EAC extracted, 224~320kbs VBR Mp3 encoded + scans & tags, time to freak free and bark along!!!

Insanity Defense and Satans Cheerleaders were two very different bands who came out of the early 80’s Long Island punk & hardcore scene, but shared almost all the same members. Jon Sanborne was the lead vocalist for Cheerleaders only; everyone else pulled double duty.
Jeff Earing was the singer & guitarist for Insanity Defense, but played bass in Cheerleaders. Nelson Rowe was the guitarist (& sometime vocalist) for Cheerleaders, but played bass in ID, & Ron Pitt drummed ferociously for both.
They were “brother bands,” at the vanguard of the DIY movement, producing & distributing recordings through their own homegrown label, “Unsound Music,” out of Centerport, NY. ...MORE

Live December 16th, 1983 @ Love Hall, Philadelphia
