the bags

the bags - 1978 - survive 7'' 2004 repress la,ca,usa
i read this looks exactly like the original except the label name that repressed it on the back of the cover. one of americas first punk bands playing somewhere between sex pistols and go-gos with their own raw originality and energy thrown in. the singer went on to be work musically with the singer of the brat and the bass player married the singer of the damned and moved to england and even was in the damned.

last match

last match - 1997 - st 7'' sweden
black flag simple straight forward hc with modern sensiblities

appalachian terror unit - 2008 - greenwashing lp huntington,wv,usa



some more angry political hc, this time with some metallic crusty influence and boy girl trade off vocalshttp://www.mediafire.com/?efpnd7jzhd0mrcb

riot clone

riot clone - 1996 - to find a little bluebird lp england
this record has the best lyrics of the blog. political and angry. smart, clear and they even rhyme. this band was around in the 80s and this is heavy hc punk with punchy bass lines and catchy choruses that could have fit in with the early 80s stuff. great song writing and great band by great people. from the mid 90s to the early 2000s riot clone was pretty active then just kind of disapeared again.http://www.mediafire.com/?2lbh08a87tg6wzo

anarchy

anarchy - 1981 - ready steady go lp japan

one of the first ever japanese punk bands, started in 78 and continued till the late 80s then some members started other projects and are still jamming to this day. this is mostly a more power pop sex pistols, imagine a fancy swankys mixed with the variety of slits and later clash
