Discharge - Society's Victims

Discharge formed in stoke-on-trent in 1977.they quickly hit upon their own distinctive style,a style that was to launch a thousand and one imitators, a style that saw them stripping their abrasive version of punk back to its most simplistic, primal essence.and in doing so they quite probably changed the face and course of the genre for all time.in fact given the huge number of metal bands that also cite Discharge as a major influence,it could be argued that they helped shape not only punk but thrash metal too,indeed extreme music of all shapes and sizes.this mammoth 80 track set covers everything from their 'realities of war' e.p from 1980 to 2002s 'shooting up the world' album.the 3rd cd also includes live tracks recorded in 1983 and 2004 and also some 2004 re-recordings of older tracks.some tracks included are 'protest and survive', 'free speech for the dumb', 'possibility of lifes destruction' and one of my alltime faves 'aint no feeble bastard'.
this is a brilliant collection for all fans of hardcore punk and deserves a place in your homes.anyway now its over to you to play it loud,pogo and slam dance when you have the house to yourself,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Specials - Manchester 3/5/09

Firstly thanks to PABBY for recording the gig and then uploading to dimeadozen for us.if you read the comments he has another specials post to come soon.i cant wait for that one.top notch guy and we all thank him a lot.

woohoo.thanks again to madphil for the headsup on this gem and also to longy for the advice on winrar and also to camden dave for all the other stuff involved in getting this recording to you.me and camden took longys advice and as he said bizarrely enough it seems to have worked.we also did the gig as winzip instead of winrar and maybe that worked too.but we downloaded it again to check and it WORKS!!!all 27 tracks of it (although one is the break when they left the stage before the encores).i think the sound is slightly better too which is always nice.so until the next posting or next tuesday may the 12th when i see some of you at brixton academy(ill be in front of the mixing desk wearing a mondo-de-muebles t-shirt!!)play this loud,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

The Ruts - Stepping Bondage Demos

going through various files and folders on the hardrive at the weekend i found this in a folder labelled 'misc2' ( which was in a folder labelled 'a pictorial history of WW2' !!)

.anyway its apparently a collection of demos, session tracks etc recorded between 78 - 80 and a live track at the end.ive been looking on the interweb for some info but all ive found is info on a 3 track e.p of the same name.when i found the cd-r i had this on it had nothing on the front except the title and the cover only had the track list.so kids its over to you to play this loud,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!
