Great episode, brothers! I went to highschool in Pittsburgh in the 90's and used to see Aus Rotten once a month at some of the clubs and show spaces. Neil from Tribal War used to sell records at all of their shows.
Glad Doom and Electro Hippies finally got a pick. I would have picked Concrete Sox and maybe even Sacrilege's first LP before they went more thrash as well. I'd even lump Bolt Thrower's first in too. Never got into the Discharge copyists scene, though I love Discharge.
Fuck yeah! Just came across the channel. Really enjoyed this and your other videos! Great picks including a couple I admir I need to check out. Looking forward to more!
This is great, excellent picks guys. That Aus Rotten LP was played Ad Nauseum in all of the punk houses that I chilled at. I got to see Hellkrusher with Cress at the Nottingham Punx picnic in 1999 and both absolutely killed. As a yank that grew up with SxE HC, checking out that scene blew my mind.
Not that anyone gives two ‘bleeps’ but my Top 5 releases are : *Disclose • Raw Brutal Assault Vol. 1 1992-1984* *Kuro • Who The Helpless* *Shitlickers • Shitlickers* *Discharge • Live / The Nightmare Continues* *System Fucker / D-Clone Split • What is your Hardcore!!??* Now … *Subscribed!!!* Cheers!!! ✌🏼
I remember Aus-Rotten - fuck Nazi sympathy was everywhere through the mid 90’s advert in every zine, every distro. Them & Avail were kings of the patch bands then. I’ll have to give that HellKrusher lp another listen. Never liked it when I first heard it due to the thrashy element, but that was years ago & I’m slightly less of an opinionated prick these days 😊
Another great vid! Have you guys checked out BRING THE DRONES OR PI$$ER? also im off to liverpool soon so can you recommend vinyl stores for me to visit.
Thank you!! Not heard the bands you mentioned but will check them out. Probe records on school Lane, dig vinyl on bold street, jacaranda records on slater Street, guac n roll on Kempston street, defend vinyl on smithdown road are a few that could be worth checking out.
A bit out of the city but Collect & Survive in Waterloo is worth checking out. Also highly recommend Guac n Roll. Only a smallish selection but pretty much all rippers & it’s a punk run business.
Pretty random selection if you ask me. Disaster and Hellkrusher are really nothing special - there are literally hundreds of Dis-bands who copy Discharge and most of them sound better and more aggressive then Disaster and Hellkrusher. And D-Clone is only in the selection because these two lads wanted something from Japan in as well. Furthermore, none of the albums mentioned were particularly influential for the development of the scene or the musical style. I know such lists are always influenced by musical taste and the personal history of the list makers but if you make a list of only the TOP 5 albums of a genre you should pick albums wich were important for the genre as a whole or who have opened up new areas for the genre. 1. Discharge - Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing (for obvious reasons) 2. Hellkrusher - Ripper Crust (for it gave the genre its name and was also an important milestone in early crust) 3. Anti Cimex - early EPs (because they were the godfathers of the swedish scene) 4. Amebix - Arise (because it gave the genre a more Metal influenced slower sound) 5. Extreme Noise Terror - A Holocaust in your head (because they were the first who fused Crust punk with Grindcore)
You haven't listened to enough disclose then. Later albums had tons of interesting song structures, it's generally known as their "disbones" era. 2000 onward, quite a few splits and full length releases around that time. Intense solos, pummeling mid tempo breakdowns, tons of bridge bending and other assorted guitar shenanigans. This was when kawakami really came into his own, listen loud, with headphones, and you will understand why so many people worship disclose. I'm not a huge fan of their earlier work too, it all blends together in my ears. It's an easy way to distinguish actual fans from people who just think kawakami looked cool
@@shaunhowie4391 Not really though, many bands have copied discharge a million times more faithfully. Disclose took some elements, jacked them up 100 fold, and slowly evolved with those elements to create their own sound over time. By the time of Kawakami's death he had created his own unique sound and aesthetic that many would go on to copy themselves.
