RUDIMENTARY PENI.

Not much needs to be said about the legacy of this band that still ain't finished...

Rudimentary Peni is one of those timeless punk bands that everyone seems to be a fan of, or refers to as an influence, yet no one even comes close to the way they sound.

That is a good thing.

What I offer to you today is also a good thing - the demos for the DEATH CHURCH album - such a classic - well fuck - ALL of their recorded output is classic, honestly, but um… can I use any more hyphens and parentheses and create more run-on sentences?

YES I CAN…

Not much bottom end in the mix, but all the fury & anguish is in this THIRTY YEAR-OLD RECORDING. I'll bet most of you were still a few years away from being mistakes in your dad's ball-sac when this came out...

Enjoy this recording - heading off to Detroit for a week.

I'm hoping to get one more post up this week, so check back soon (all three of you who actually read this shit & comment, etc).

DEVIATED INSTINCT.

True leaders of the pack as far as crafting the bass-heavy crust sound known as "Stenchcore", Deviated Instinct are still out there 25 years into it.
You ever wonder what you'll be doing in 25 years?
These guys are still practicing their crunchy / crusty craft, and we are all better off for it.

There are many pretenders are to throne - Deviated Instinct wrote the curriculum for how it's done properly.

Bear with me as I rebuild my music collection.

SWARRRM.

Japanese grind/crust/core that kicks mucho ass.
These guys have been around for awhile now, and seem to be coming into their own as of late being quite prolific in their output (three releases this year so far).
Once again, the Japanese improve on the genre...

JOHN HOLMES.

An awesome British powerhouse of dirty/heavy/crusty/sludgy hardcore from the late nineties, John Holmes came and went too soon, but word is they are becoming active once again.
File this between your Poison Idea and 16 records...

D/L John Holmes - 'El Louso Suavo' right here.

DYSTOPIA.

Here's one of my favorite recordings - I ripped it from the cassette I made when this aired originally - of the mighty Dystopia playing live on the air in the studios of KFJC in Los Altos Hills, CA eleven years ago.
Completely raw and caustic - this sounds great, actually - and the samples and vocals are fucking ace on this one!

I saw these guys quite a few times back then, and they always ripped (and they would smoke ALL of YOUR pot)...
