Hickoids - Waltz A Crossdress Texas


The Hickoids second LP on Toxic Shock. Another hilarious ride with the cow punk Texans. Although not as edgy as the first LP, it still kicks ass with some classic songs like Queen of the bar-b-q and Brand new way.

Toxic Shock, 1989

Taken down due to copy right violation, sorry!

Nip Drivers - Oh Blessed Freak Show


The second LP from the Nip Drivers. In the Destroy Whitey post I stated that this album wasn't so good, but after a few more plays I have changed my mind. There are some good tunes on here and it deserves a listen. There is even a cover of Duran Duran's Rio. And besides, Mike Webber had one of the best punk voices ever.

MDC - Millions Of Dead Cops


A killer first LP from Austin, Texas's MDC who later relocated to San Francisco. Blazing fast political hardcore at it's best, released on their own label.

Articles Of Faith - Give Thanks


One of the most talented punk bands I've heard. Articles Of Faith from Chicago were a step above other hardcore bands at the time. This is an amazing album and is definitely required listening.

7 Seconds - The Crew


Do I really need to say anything? When I saw these guys play the P.A. system died so they went "unplugged" for a while but it was still awesome. A friends band opened for them. They sucked, but at least they got up there.

The Faith / Void - Split LP


This has to be one of the best split LP's ever. Two great Washington DC bands on one slab of vinyl make my ears and my brain very happy.

Youth Brigade - Sound & Fury


The L.A. band formed by 3 brothers originally from Canada who started B.Y.O records. This is the 2nd version of this album which has a different track listing and is supposed to be much better. Apparently the first was rushed and the band wasn't happy with the quality. I got see to them play once which was nice.

Hickoids - We're In It For The Corn


Kick ass cow-punk from Texas with a sense of humour. I'm not really into country music but this is a great album with a distorted twangy country punk sound.

Minor Threat - First Two 7's


What can you say about Minor Threat other than they were completely fucking great. Who cares if they were straight edge, the music and the message were all good.

Decry - Falling


Decry were one of my favorite bands. I searched for this album for years ( before ebay was around) and never came across a copy. I bought the "Complete Decry" CD but one of these days I'll get myself a copy of this on vinyl.

Toxic Shock Records, 1984

Fear - The Record


This is a classic record, it is by far the best Fear album. I can remember sitting in my room listening to this when I was supposed to be doing homework.

Slash, 1982

Bad Brains - S/T


In my opinion Bad Brains are one of the best hardcore bands ever. I got to see them live but not until the early 90's so HR wasn't in the band. I do have the cassette on ROIR but it might be a reissue. I've left out the reggae tracks off of this.

ROIR, 1982

Detox - S/T


I was lucky enough to see these guys play. There was only about 20 people at the show and the bass player was so drunk he had to stand with his head against the wall so he wouldn't fall over! They supposedly broke into the stock room after the show and took a bunch of booze. I have 2 copies of this, one of which is still sealed!

Nip Drivers - Destroy Whitey


Wow, how much do I love these guys. I remember mowing my dad's lawn and listening to this on my walkman. This has to be one of my all time favorite albums. Unfortunately their next album "Oh blessed freak show" wasn't so good.
