Beware - Live at TIH 2012 + Discography


First I wanted to make this post just to post the TIH set, but fuck it, I will post all of their stuff so that if you don't know the band, you can download their stuff and not have to search the internet for it. Beware are members of Let Down, Mother of Mercy, Stick Together etc. playing Youth Crew Hardcore in the vein of Chain Of Strength or Mouthpiece. For sure my favorite YC band around right now. From just hearing the recordings I would have never guessed that this is Bob Wilson of Let Down doing vocals. I love how on the live set he's screaming more than on the record and you can hear that it's him a little better. I downloaded the live set from hate5six and cut it into individual songs. You can download and watch a lot of other TIH sets there, check it out. You can still buy their 'Won't Get The Best Of Me' 7" from Back To Back Records or Control Records. The 'Lost Cause' song is from the 'America's Hardcore Vol. 2' comp which will come out on Triple B Records.

Sex Drive - Urban Predator EP

Sex Drive from Holland feature members of numerous legendary bands from the Benelux countries like Mainstrike, Justice, Downslide and so on. But STOP, forget about that, because Sex Drive is nothing like any of the bands mentioned before. Sex Drive are playing raw, raging fast early 80's hardcore punk that leaves nothing but chaos in your head and the urge to click play over and over again. 
To quote SWNK: "If I didn’t knew the guys in the band I would expect them to be big bald guys with hardly any teeth, wearing torn up jeans, Doc Martens and patches of Negative Approach and Necros."
Now don't be a poser, download what is for sure one of the best records this year already. Also, buy it if you like it, first press is limited to 200 copies.

Edit: I fixed the link.

Impact Unit - My Friend The Pit (Different Versions)


Favorite Boston band! I hope they don't need no introduction, anyway if you haven't heard of them check out their lastfm bio or something.
Did you know there are two different versions of these recordings? When I got it on vinyl I was surprised that there was a reverberation on the Nightstalker vocals. I asked Crucial Pete about it but he had no clue either. He told me that he used the master tape he got from the band and he haven’t remastered it. Maybe it got remastered for the CD version on Big Rig Records? I don’t know. Anyway, here are both versions:
