Integrity Interview, Holiday Fanzine #7

Here we have an interview with Cleveland's Integrity. This was originally printed in Holiday Fanzine #7. No date was given but given the content of the interview we can assume its from 1994 or 95. This took place prior to the release of "Systems Overload" and also touches on the falling out between the band and Victory Records.

Autumn reunion show in Philly on 12/7/09

Crisis Records' (Rev imprint) recording artist Autumn is reuniting for it's first show in 11 years at the Kung Fu Knecktie in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 12/7/09. According to RevHQ.com, "Mix 108 with emo-core and you'll come up with this Pennsylvania outfit's moving sounds." Sounds good to me.

PALEFIRE

In the mid 90's, the Southern California hardcore scene was dominated by baggy jeans, basketball jerseys, open E chugs, and lots and lots of boys.
Then, PALEFIRE popped out of nowhere and helped meld the chug of hardcore with the beauty of the "emo" scene. Equal parts Dahlia Seed, Snapcase, and Copper, Palefire was something different in a scene full of cookie-cutter/cookie-monster bands.
The band was just as comfortable playing at Koo's Arts cafe with bands like Whirlpool and Far as they were playing at Showcase Theater with 1134 and Earth Crisis. Seeming not to fit in anywhere, they actually fit in everywhere.
In their time they released a demo cassette, played on KUCI radio show, and a cdep on Ammunition Records. The ep was supposedly pressed onto a 7", but that never saw the light of day. They also had one song on the Indecision Records compilation Guilty By Association.
The band folded around 1996, playing a last show at Zed Records. Members went on to be in various bands... Sean Brummel and Dan Sena went on to play in Stickfigurecarousel. Dan also played in the last incarnation of Adamantium, before riding Steve Aoki's coat tails to become the "Dim Mak bassline destroyer".

Brett Cutts played in the punk band FM Bats and released some beautiful solo music before tragically dying in 2006. He was an amazing person, and his impact is still felt to this day by the people who's lives he touched. R.I.P.
Christine Doan can now be seen fronting the Misfits/ Danzig tribute band Dirty Black Summer. Members of Death By Stereo and Mean Season round out this awesome tribute.
Justin transferred my copy of the demo, and its presented here digitally for the first time ever.

90's test presses on ebay

There are currently a couple of great 90's hardcore test presses up on ebay.

First, there's a test press of the first Throwdown 7" that's up here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180426820278

And there's also a test press of the Falling Down (Day of Suffering) - Life Before Machine 7" that's up here:

I'm sure that both of these will go for money far outside of my range, so you should feel free to check them out, and make some bids.

Sons Of Abraham - Termites In His Smile

Exit Records released a slew of incredible records in the mid-late 90s, and Sons Of Abraham's "Termites In His Smile" is surely no exception. The double bass and crazy lead guitar work always made me want to lose my shit. To top it off, this was an all Jewish band, as can be heard in lyrics like "no presents for Christmas...". Throughout their brief time together, Sons Of Abraham only recorded a demo, a split 7" with Indecision, and this LP. I've never come across the demo (if you have one, please get at me!), but the track on the split 7" was re-recorded for Termites. They were scheduled to do a split 7" with Morning Again on Immigrant Sun, but they broke up before ever recording, and that resulted in Morning Again's "To Die A Bitter Death" 7" coming out on its own. Some of you may also be interested to know that Sons Of Abraham contained some members of Glassjaw, but it's rather inconsequential, because Sons Of Abraham were a thousand times better.
I also own a copy of this on a great looking blue marble vinyl. However, I was too lazy to take a photo of it, so I just stole the following image from Limited Pressing. His obsession with mid 90s vinyl outdoes even my own, and I'm thoroughly jealous of his Sons Of Abraham and Indecision collections.
He also figured out that the marbling actually never should have happened, and is the result of not switching plates after they pressed the Milhouse "Obscenity In The Milk" record on white. A large portion of the SOA records should be on more of a see through blue/green. He even made a short video about it, and you can check it out here: Termites explained.

Your Favorite Trainwreck is a new collaboration between the leaders of two of the most prolific melodic punk/hardcore bands of the ‘90s – Farside’s Popeye V. and Gameface’s Jeff Caudill, YFT’s singers/guitarists and chief songwriters. Rounding out the lineup are bassist Jeff Holmes and drummer Robbie Rist, also the drummer for the very excellent Jeff Caudill and The Goodtimes Band.

Martyr AD - the demos

As one of the people that's been obsessed with all things Disembodied/Martyr AD for a number of years, I have always desired to know more about the 2002 Demo that has been floating around the internet for a number of years now. I emailed Tara to see what the scoop is, and if there were any other demos. Then when I woke up this morning before work, I had an email from Joel in my inbox containing ALL of the various Martyr AD demos. Suffice to say, I was pretty excited, and I'm really happy that they're letting us push them out to the world semi-officially. Joel had also made digital covers of the demos, which is great for all of us completists out there.

First up is a Human Condition pre-production demo. It has 9 songs, and was recorded live at their practice space to 4 track. There are some minor differences in some of the songs, but you'll notice that a decent amount of lyrics and vocal patterns are different.

Martyr AD - Human Condition demo [2000]
http://www.mediafire.com/?nbdimqeyqhq

Next up is the demo from 2002. This was the last recording with Mike Fisketti on vocals. It contains two finished songs that were later re-recorded for On Earth As It Is In Hell, and two unfinished songs that never had vocals recorded, and have never seen the light of day until now. It was recorded in a legit studio, and featured Jared from 7 Angels 7 Plagues on drums, hence the title of "Jared Demo".

http://www.mediafire.com/?zzdnlgiottd

And finally there's the Summer '03 Demo, which was recorded in the early stages of the second Martyr AD lineup. It features 5 songs in total, and much like the Human Condition demo, it was recorded live at the practice space to a 4 track.

Label Spotlight: Surprise Attack Records (SA Mob)

If you've followed us since we changed formats, one thing I've (Chip) made clear is my love for EMS and Brother's Keeper. Always a band that was out doing something different, they were definately a band that you either loved or hated. They were one I loved and were always extremely friendly and generous, taking my old band out on tour a few times. Through this relationship, EMS's label, Surprise Attack Records, asked to put out my next band All Hell Breaks Loose and for this I am grateful. Always hardworking and always out to make sure the bands are not getting ripped off, EMS runs one of the best DIY hardcore labels in the US.
Since the start of a zine called Surprise Attack, EMS has always kept a grass roots approach to the zine and label, making very little for himself and always putting 100% back into the label. He started off with a 7 inch from Outcome and then hooked up with Erie, PA legends xDisciplex. This really got the ball rolling and he eventually released the Erie Scene Report comp as well as the Transformers loving Shockwave 7 inch/cassette. Through constant touring with Brother's Keeper, the label was able to reach a wider fan base and EMS was able to release records from foreign bands such as Coming of the New Messiah and ShotPointBlank. Never afraid to take a chance, he has released records for Japan's Loyal to the Grave and Belgium's Rise And Fall (before they signed with Deathwish). A constant supporter of all things local, Eric released the demo for Erie's Problem Solver Revolver as well as a 7 inch for his own band, Brother's Keeper.
Over the last couple of years, SA Mob has released records for Prayer For Cleansing, Die Young, Where It Ends, Seven Generations, and When Tigers Fight. Also he will be releasing the Unrestrained (Justin's band) 7 inch soon. Eric also recently purchased Forward Hall in Erie, PA. and continues to have all ages shows there, continues to play music in Smoke and Mirrors, and co-owns Ink Assassin Tattoos and Piercings in Erie (busy guy). I'm glad to have worked with him and I hope he continues to release records he likes and support the bands that are out there, working hard.

For more information, check out the Surprise Attack Records website for more info as well as the store for huge distro as well as all the SA Mob releases.

European Hardcore in the 90s

Within the last year, Ive been going back and re-discovering a lot of 90s European hardcore bands that I had either never heard or hadnt heard in a long time. Honestly, Im so glad I did because there were so many good bands to come out of Germany, Poland, Italy, Sweden and especially the Belgium H8000 scene. Many of the bands were disregarded by US hardcore kids are knockoffs of Morning Again, Culture or Earth Crisis but hey so were lots of the American bands. The first band I remember that kids over here went nuts over was Refused from Sweden. Of course there had been others but Refused really stuck out in my mind as doing something different and unique. They also were one of the first bands to really blow up the Umea scene along with Final Exit, Abhinanda, and Doughnuts...check my past write up for more in depth info. Another important band was Arkangel. Regardless of how you feel about their politics and life choices, "Dead Man Walking" still slays, even 10 years later. John Wylie got the record in his distro and he couldnt keep them in stock. Every show he would sell like 10 copies of it, a pretty amazing feat for a band at the time that wasnt on Victory or Revelation (just for example). Some more notables were Congress, Liar, Purification, Lifeforce, Regression, Shortsight, Length of Time, Kindred, Blindfold, Spawn and Shorebreak.
I also stumbled across 2 very informative blogs that cover the H8000 scene of the past and are well worth checking out so please do. I know my knowledge of the European scene is pretty limited so feel free to comment and add to this.

Casey Jones' Case Against Lost and Found Records

Love them or hate them, LOST AND FOUND put out some crucial records in the 90's. I got this little tract in a copy of the Bloodlet live 7" (which justin is supposed to rip for us). It's nothing new, but i have never seen it in this form; a small pamphlet that looks like it would be telling us about the evils of sin, and not the evils of a German record label.

Big Frank Harrison's post-Carry Nation band ear2ear

Here's a xStuck In The Pastx exclusive for ya - a 4 song demo by Big Frank Harrison's post-Carry Nation band ear2ear. Frank sent me these songs last night and asked that I post 'em on here, so here they are. It's pretty heavy stuff to say the very least. According to Frank, these songs were recorded in 2 hours about 5 years ago and the band played live for about a year. Enjoy.

Mike Hartsfield lets one out of the vault

From Hartsfield's music Myspace blog:

Ok, just found this jem in the garage in a box.

In 1991 John Coyle moved to San Francisco and left Outspoken with a big decision to deal with. Were we going to deal with flying John down/to every show we were set to play or find a new vocalist? Well, the first idea that came up was to find a new guitar player and have myself move to vocals. At band practice it seemed to sound pretty good but the real test would be in the studio.

"Nothing Left" was recorded during the Solitude demo session in Riverside CA sometime in 1991. The song features Dennis Remsing on the drums and myself doing the guitar, bass and vocals. After hearing the final results I HATED the sound of my own voice so it was shelved for almost 20 years. Enjoy...

Andrew Thomas Company - Straight Edge Means I Have No Friends

The original and still the best. I picked this up recently from Andrea, the same guy who sold me the Contempt shirt. Straight Edge clothing companies sure don't make em like they used to. The first in a long line of great shirts produced by the Andrew Thomas Company...speaking of which does anyone know who ran ATC (was there an Andrew Thomas?)? Curiousity...

Record Review: Mourningside AD - Confessions of Disbelief

Something I have learned in my years of being active in the hardcore scene is that there are two types of bands: bands who establish themselves, break up, start a new band and ride the wave of popularity that an "ex members of..." band generates and then there are the bands who go out, play their hearts out and gain a following from that. Mourningside AD is the latter. If you guys read my review of their demo, you know I was nuts about it. A band that reminded me of Mean Season, had very personal and introspective lyrics, and did not try and use any type of "ex members of..." publicity. I messaged Damon (vocalist) and asked if the band would be interested in having us do a review of the record. He responded and a link was sent. He also explained that the band had to change its name by adding the AD because there was already a band with the same name, though broken up, and they asked them to change it (shades of American Night...er...Give Up The Ghost). I put the tracks on my iPod and listened as I walked to class. The new 7 inch, Confessions of Disbelief" is a huge leap forward for the band in terms of musical progression, recording, and overall maturation. On the demo, I heard alot of influence from Mean Season (hey not that thats a bad thing, they do take their name from a MS song) but they have added influences from Unbroken, Snapcase, Groundwork, and 108. The vocals are very reminiscent of "Life Love Regret" era Unbroken and there is plenty of the 90s style clean vocals. Lyrics deal with personal issues while the song "Clear" (re-reorded from their demo) seems to attack religion with lyrics such as "Selling the world salvation, your lies are crystal clear for all to see who choose to see". To my understanding the band is not a straight edge band (they do contain members who are) and the song "Life Deceived" does seem to carry a very strong drug free message (unless Im misinterpreting it) by stating "Liberation must be gained. Until we're free. I will abstain". The recording overall is top with all instruments at the appropriate levels, nothing seems to be too high or too low. The guitar tone is warm and heavy but not too muddy, the drums sound full while the bass provides the right amount of low end. Hardpress Records did a great job by asking to release this for the band. The band has been steadily playing out in California since they started and are currently gearing up for a west coast tour in November with dates in California, Washington, and Nevada planned. Overall, the Mourningside AD record is well worth your money and will surely be on my top 10 list as the year comes to a close.

Current Bands Playing 90s Style Hardcore, Part 4

Here we are again with another installment of Current Bands Playing 90s Style Hardcore. Since the last time I posted an update, Ive been searching for new bands to bring you and I think Ive got some good stuff for you. As always, Im open to suggestions and I listen to all bands that are suggested, so please email me and let me know if you have a band that would fit in our next installment. Make sure to put either "Stuck In The Past" or "Current Bands Playing 90s Style Hardcore" in the heading.

xShiverx - Tokyo, Japan

If there is one thing Ive learned through my friendship with the Japanese hardcore kids as well as my trip earlier this year, the Japanese hardcore scene love the 90s. xShiverx released a demo 2 years ago and then...nothing. Did they break up? Were they on a hiatus? No clue...but then all of a sudden 2 months ago they released a 3 way split of new material. The new songs blow the old demo out of the water...great heavy chugging hardcore in the vein of Excessive Force. Check out their Myspace for more info: xShiverx on Myspace

Stormtrooper - Hommersåk/Sandnes, Rogaland Norway

I stumbled across Stormtrooper one day on Myspace and really liked their sound. Alternating male and female vocals with music that is reminiscent of Arkangel (Dead Man Walking era). I thought they had broken up but apparently they went on hiatus and are now back and booking a European tour. Check out their Myspace for more info: Stormtrooper on Myspace

Convicted - Chicago, IL.

Convicted has been around for about 2 years and has really started making waves in the hardcore scene playing both the Burning Fight show in Chicago this year as well as This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia. Their first 7 inch had some Integrity influence but their new 2009 demo really added some Arkangel/Slayer parts to the mix. Definitely a band to watch in the next year. They were looking for a new drummer so if you can help them out, message them on Myspace. Check out their Myspace for more info: Convicted on Myspace

Verdict - Moscow, Russia

I had been messaging back and forth with Vasya, vocalist for Verdict, and when I finally checked out his band, I was totally into it. Heavy Morning Again worship here folks. Great band who just released a 3 way split along with xShiverx. Not quite sure what they've been up to recently because their Myspace is mostly in Russian...but check it out and listen to the tracks they have up. Verdict on Myspace

Reason - Buffalo, NY

Reason is a new band based out of Buffalo featuring members of The Control, Dead Hearts, Halfmast, Plagued With Rage, Still Ill, They Live, No Reason and No Time Left. Fast, angry, pissed off straight edge hardcore that at times reminds me of Reach the Sky and maybe Turning Point. They just played their first show on Monday and have a demo which you can download for free off of their Myspace. Im expecting big things from them in the next year. Reason on Myspace

Burning Fight recap on the Tradition blog

Sorry for the double post but I felt that Andrew Kline's excellent recap of Burning Fight on the Tradition blog warranted a post of it's own.

Contempt Tshirt

Picked this up a few weeks ago...honestly, I don't know if I had ever seen a Contempt shirt up until that point. I may have but I dont recall...either way, I scooped this up and pretty excited. This was made for the release of their 7 inch I believe. The thing is in great condition, almost unworn. If anyone has anymore info on this, let me know.

Farside - Scrap

Farside's "Scrap" is a collection of their first 2 demos, the first of which featured Zach De La Rocha on guitar. The lineup is more or less the same as the later releases but with Zach on guitar. This CD is pretty hard to come by from what I understand so enjoy this. All this material was released before they signed with Crisis/Revelation.


EDIT: After posting this, K. Murphy passed on this info, correcting what I had written. Thanks for the update and the correct info.

"Nope. Zach is on the second demo and the line ups are pretty different. Josh Stanton (411) on bass and Rob Haworth (Hard Stance and State of the Nation on guitar. But certainly hard to find. Only 1000 pressed." - K. Murphy

Orphan Jams

The Orange County, California hardcore scene (hell, the hardcore scene PERIOD) isn't known for spawning very many non-white frontmen but Against The Wall's Mike Madrid is a welcome and refreshing exception to that unfortunate rule. Madrid has returned to the scene with his new band Orphan Jams, a noisy punk/hardcore outfit that combines the best elements of the '80s and the '90s O.C. hardcore scenes to bring a fresh sound to the current scene. Crank it.

Quicksand - B Sides and Rarities

To be honest, I was never a big Quicksand fan until the last few years. Mainly because of the fact of which bands the members were previously associated with, the sound that Quicksand produced was quite different than anything else coming out at the time. They went on to influence numerous bands and still do to this day. This folder of songs was something I downloaded off of Soulseek years ago and I don't know the origin of some of the songs or where they were originally released. But this does include their "How Soon is Now" Smiths cover as well as some World's Fastest Car demos. Check it out and I hope you enjoy it.

Set Apart - Split with Chalice

This is for you guys out there who love your Christian hardcore. So you may be saying "Who the hell is Set Apart"? Set Apart was the other Christian hardcore band in South Florida, the previous being Strongarm. Very nice guys who, unlike many Christian bands and followers, supported all bands, not just the Christian ones. These tracks were from a split CD with Tampa's Chalice and while the recording is not incredible, the songs are good. Very reminiscent of Strongarm's sound, in that its technical and melodic but still moshy. Make sure to check out track 4 "Proven Wrong" which bears a VERY strong resemblance to Strongarm's "Stand Together". Again, I am not a big fan of Christian hardcore but there are the few bands that stood out. These guys eventually broke up and the singer, Jason, started Glasseater. The band's last bass player, Anthony, would also join Glasseater.

People who have been requesting zines

Hey everybody
Im glad everyone has enjoyed the zines we've uploaded recently. I have more that Ive scanned and will upload but I havent been able to scan all of them. Mainly the reason is the way they are stapled sometimes prevents a good scan. It makes very difficult to get all of the content...also being that the issues are not mine, I dont want to take out the staples. Ive done the best I could to scan the interviews and anything else important in the issues but may have no scanned the entire issue. We appreciate the feedback and I just wanted to let you guys know how that was going.

Crank Call Fanzine #1

Crank Call Fanzine...basically its exactly what you think it is. 2 guys from California crank calling random people in different bands, usually getting a family member as opposed to the band member. Someone told me it was some of the guys from Strife, but don't quote me on that. This was done in the early 90s judging by the bands involved, and its pretty damn funny. I scanned the entire zine and uploaded it to mediafire so you can download the entire thing. Make sure to check out the reviews section for no holds barred reviews of records. I wonder if they did a second issue...Id love to read it.
