The Rival Mob - Raw Life

I approve of this. Think awesome, fresh, NYHC-influenced stuff. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Raw Life EP

Tragedy - Vengeance

There's already a Tragedy-post but this is missing, along with a split with Totalitär. Whatever though. For people into From Ashes Rise and His Hero Is Gone.

Vengeance LP

Pressure - Demo '09

Mediafire has been fucking with me lately but I managed to get this demo up today. It's from, imo, one of Europe's currently best hardcore bands. I believe that they are from Portugal. Check it out.

Demo '09

Reagan Youth - A Collection of Pop Classics

A compilation of the two releases (from '89 and 90') that followed Youth Anthems. Everything released after this are live recordings and demos and whatnot.

A Collection of Pop Classics Compilation

Vision of Disorder - Vision of Disorder

90's hardcore band from New York though I don't know if I would label them having the traditional NYHC-sound. Much like this cover, they did something new. This was the debut full-length.

Vision of Disorder LP

Strife - One Truth

First LP from '94. Another one of those big bands.

One Truth LP

Leeway - Born to Expire

80's metallic NYHC. Important, etc.

Born to Expire LP

Reach the Sky - So Far From Home

First full-length from this late 90's/early 00's Boston band. Good stuff.

So Far From Home LP

MDC - Anthology

Short for Millions of Dead Cops, Multi-Death Corporation, Millions of Damn Christians... List goes on, band is great regardless. I think this is everything by them in a compilation of 30 songs. One of those early bands you sort of should know about. 

MDC - Anthology Part One
MDC - Anthology Part Two

Negative Approach - Total Recall

Some of the best the 80's had to offer when it comes down to hardcore. Discography release.

UPDATE: Mediafire took this down again. Will re-up soon.

Gone But Not Forgotten - Demo '08

New Seattle band. Much like Free Spirit, they play fast and awesome youth crew. Get this stuff.

Gone But Not Forgotten - Demo

Better Than a Thousand

Ha, I just realized the last two posts were both about dark days. So let's get posi with Ray of Today. This was his sideproject during his time in Shelter. Two releases from '97 and '99, here you go.

Just One LP
Value Driven LP

Lewd Acts - Dark Days

Awesome as fuck. Heading to Europe later this year, BE SURE TO CATCH THEM.

Dark Days LP

Trial - Through the Darkest Days

I looove Trial so I just had to complete their discog on here. If you are unfamiliar with Trial, they were, imo, one of the best bands from the 90's. You absolutely, most definitely, without a doubt need this. 

Through the Darkest Days LP

Reagan Youth - Youth Anthems for the New Order

I'm going to tag this as hardcore but it's more punk than anything. Pretty important 80's NY-band. This was their first LP.

Youth Anthems for the New Order LP

In My Eyes - Nothing to Hide

No introduction necessary. Crucial for people into youth crew.

Nothing to Hide LP

Articles of Faith - Anthology

I don't know what to say except that you should really get this if you're into '80's hardcore. Some of the best from it.

Complete Anthology Volume One 1981 - 1983
Complete Anthology Volume Two 1983 - 1985

Side By Side - You're Only Young Once

Re-release by Revelation in '97. Only release by these guys. Their drummer has a pretty cool history with Judge, Youth of Today, Project X and a few more good bands. 1988 youth crew!

You're Only Young Once LP

Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt

I've been listening to a bunch of Doom, Drone, and Sludge the past few months, and this is easily one of my favorite albums that I've found in that time.
Thorr's Hammer was formed by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley(probably better known to most as the dudes in Sunn O)))) in the winter of '94 up in Washington state. A foreign exchange student from Norway did vocals, and she did a pretty damn good job. After she returned to Norway, Thorr's Hammer disbanded and then O'Malley and Anderson went on to play in a ton of well known bands.
If you're into Sunn O))), Goatsnake, or any of O'Malley and Anderson's bands, and you somehow missed this, or if you're just in the mood for some good fucking Doom, download it bros.

Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt

Cunninlynguists - Strange Journey Volume One

One of my favorite hip-hop groups, this is their newest stuff due to hit stores in May some time. I'm in the process of listening through it but so far it seems a bit darker than their earlier stuff, which is a great thing. It's awesome. They're awesome. It also has a live recording of "Lynguistics" and remixes of "K.K.K.Y" and "Georgia" and the ending tracks are all instrumentals, I love that stuff. Don't sleep on this.

Strange Journey Volume One Part One

Strange Journey Volume One Part Two

Some Girls - All My Friends Are Going Death

Compilation of the first two EP's with some demo tracks and you will need this if you're a Wes Eisold-fanboy/girl.

All My Friends Are Going Death Compilation

His Hero is Gone - Fifteen Covnts of Arson

For fans of From Ashes Rise and Tragedy. This was their first LP and it is fucking awesome as fucking fuck.

Fifteen Counts of Arson LP

Soul Control

Somewhat new band from Providence, RI. I doubt anyone's missed these guys but whatever. I think this is all they've done.

Involution LP
Demo '07

Redemption - Demo 2008

Redemption on MySpace

I got this in an e-mail earlier this month that I actually just checked. They're from Richmond, VA, and judging by their myspace, are a pretty positive group of bros. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I liked the one song I listened on their myspace.

Redemption - Demo 2008

D.O.A. - Hardcore '81

This is the album that is said to first have applied the term "hardcore" to a music genre. Kind of a must-have if you're really into this shit.

Hardcore 81 LP
