Advent - Demo '98 (members of Silent Majority,... →
I’ve never been able to find much info about this demo, so if any LIHC heads could fill in the details, that would be cool. It has Tommy Corrigan from Silent Majority fronting a heavier style band with three members of Tripface. I wasn’t crazy about it when I first heard it, but after revisiting it recently, it’s quite good. It is definitely a bit of a grower. If you dig...

What Feeds the Fire - Discography (Pre-Verse,... →
I went for breakfast with Hunter this morning, in between playing the Seaweed, Nirvana, and Supersuckers singles in the jukebox we ended up discussing the recent Verse reunion. The consensus was one of not having a problem with it, but not really understanding the excitement.
This led to discussing Sean Murphy’s pre-Verse band, What Feeds the Fire. What Feeds the Fire was just as good as...
Various Artists - All Systems Go! (Tracks you... →
I’m not gonna give much of a description for this, other than saying that’s it’s something of a forgotten classic. It was released in the late 90’s, and I feel like the tracklist speaks for itself. So many great bands covering classic jams. This LP is still available through Ebullition, who only takes wholesale orders over 100$, so get a bunch of friends together and do an...
recapturetheflag asked: Can you recommend any good punk history/culture books? Thanks!

Burden - Complete Discography (Pre-Blue Monday,... →
VANCOUVER STRAIGHT EDGE
Burden was an active band from around 1997 to 2003, and are a bit of an oddity. They played a combination of heavy, groovy 90’s style Hardcore, with a more traditional sound at time that wouldn’t put them entirely ad odds with the late 90’s Youth Crew revival. Think Trial meets Ten Yard Fight.
The reason I consider them to be something of an oddity, is...

Unitas - Porch Life LP + J Church Covers (members... →
Another ignored Hot Water Music side project! This one is even better in my opinion. Unitas featured two members of Discount, and Todd Rockhill of Hot Water Music with Discount/HMW roadie extraordinaire Jason Rockhill on vocals.
Unitas only released one full length, and then a pair of J Church covers later on. The Full length is split between rockin jams, and incredible alt country jams. The...

Cro(w)s AKA Shery Cro(w)-Mags - Discography... →
Cro(w)s were a side project of Chris Wollard of Hot Water Music who existed in the early 2000’s. They never really got much attention, despite existing during HWM’s peak of popularity. There are a few reasons for this, first off they self released both their records in the states, so they didn’t have any significant label backing. Secondly, they were all in active bands at the...

In My Eyes - Demo + Live →
In My Eyes was one of the best Hardcore bands of all time. Every single time I listen to either of the LPs, especially the second one, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Nothing sounds like it. Their take on Hardcore still sounds fresh and modern today, partially because they were a truly unique band. It sounds like they took influence from a far wider spectrum of music than their late...

Various Artists - Anti-Matter... →
I’ve been a little lazy with the uploads lately, but I feel like this comp will make up for that. It’s an absolute classic records released in 1996, to celebrate the final issue of Anti Matter Zine. In case you’re not in the know, Anti-Matter was a short lived but massively distributed and very well written zine published by Norman Arenas/Brannon of Texas is the...
