CRUMBSUCKERS “Turn back time: the early years 1983-1985” 2xLP gatefold + CD (Live at CBGB) up for pre-orders!!

Posted in Crumbsuckers, Pre Orders, Releases on January 31st, 2014 by foadmaster2022

WHAT?!? CRUMBSUCKERS on FOAD Records??!??  Yes, our legacy with the most intense and ass-kicking Thrashcore of the ’80s never stops, it’s in our veins!! So after WEHRMACHT, AFTERMATH, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, LETHAL AGGRESSION, D.R.I. and tons more, it was about time to get back to NYC (remember the S.O.D./CRAB SOCIETY NORTH boxset?) and dig into the archives of another classic band that pionereed the genre. The roots of one of the most respected and influential New York Hardcore founders.. the CRUMBSUCKERS!!

If you’re looking for the most exhaustive, high quality retrospective of their pre-“Life of dreams” recordings, you’ll find a true jewel in this massive anthology. 69 songs including all their Demos (the legendary “Crumbsucker cave” demo 1983, “Charge of the light brigade” Demo 1985 and two unreleased tapes 1983-1984) + a bonus CD with 3 great sounding live sets 1984-85 at CBGB‘s… one opening for the Cro-Mags!  This collection shows the band’s natural evolution from basic, no frills early ’80s Hardcore to the mad thrashing assault that made “Life of dreams” and “B.O.M.B.” two unforgettable lessons of true NYHC crossovered with technical and well delivered Metal. All the stuff included here features their former singer David Brady, and displays embryonic versions of all those anthems that were later re-recorded on their debut masterpiece + a bunch of unreleased tracks!  As usual all the stuff here has been mastered from 1st generation tapes with extreme care and passion by the Hand of Doom @ Toxic Basement Studio, a real guarantee of quality and passion. Three sided double LP (one side silk-screened) housed in a thick gatefold jacket including rare photos, flyers and liner notes + exclusive artwork by Lucas Kalina.. bonus Live at CBGB CD sealed inside of the gatefold in a 5″ cardboard sleeve.

This is Dave Brady’s introductive note about this record:

“Back then (1983-1985) there was only a handful of TV channels, an actor in the White House, 64k of RAM at home and the feeling that “The World Was Yours”. At least that’s how I remember it. This collection tries to chronicle the early years of the band, from the point where we graduated high school and started playing beyond the confines of the Crumbsucker Cave. Those early days were fun filled, and I think it shows in some of these songs, many of which might not be known beyond the hometown fans of the band. There are a few early versions of songs, most notably “Jail Bait/Hub Run” and first time performances of “Life Of Dreams” and “Face Of Death” from just before I left. The earlier tapes, when the band was just a four piece (myself, Gary Meskil, Dave Wynn and Kevin Carroll on drums) have been floating around the internet for some time, unpolished and suffering from generational loss. So when the folks at FOAD approached me and provided some examples of the craftsmanship and pride that they have put into similar releases, I figured the time is right. Since that 2006 reunion show I’ve developed a renewed sense of appreciation and pride for my time in the band. I’ve never had a chance to thank the boys in the various incarnations of the band or the Baldwin crew that supported us in those early years. To all of you still with us, and to those that have passed – This is for you!”
Pre-orders start now, we’ll start to ship on February 14th 2014

Posted in Cripple Bastards on January 28th, 2014 by foadmaster2022

SORE THROAT “D.T.C.H.” 2xLP gatefold and RATOS DE PORAO “Periferia 1982″ LP + 7” out now on FOAD Records!!

Posted in Ratos De Porao, Releases, Sore Throat on January 22nd, 2014 by foadmaster2022

Yes! They’re here and we’re extremely proud to say that both look and sound great. All pre-orders have been shipped already and we still have a handful of limited splatter vinyl editions, act fast! So, this month’s offering on FOAD records is two avalanches of rawness: SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” double LP and RATOS DE PORAO “Periferia 1982” LP + 7″. Deep in detail, this is what they cosist of:

– SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” 2xLP gatefold

Double LP, 129 song monstrosity collecting all ST‘s demos, their cult “Death to capitalist Hardcore” debut EP and an endless parade of rarities, comp. tracks and live recordings from 1987 to 1990. Old reviews used to describe Uk’s Sore Throat as “beyond almost anything you’ve ever heard… Even Extreme Noise Terror are scared of them… as palatable as cabbage boiled in fish urine”. Over 2 decades are gone but these pioneers of the most horrorific alcohol-wrecked Noisecore/Grind ever conceived on the British soil still sound as the most nihilist and unsurpassed sonic aberration one can think of, “Sore Throat are a music fan’s worst nightmare”. And to be able to offer their noise in the most pristine form, closer to its primordial authenticity all what you will experience on this horrendous double platter has been scrupolously acquired from the original reels and tapes and mastered for vinyl with the maniacal attention of the widely-acclaimed Toxic Basement studios, an absolute guarantee of passion and dedication for all what comes from the golden days of analog Hardcore/Thrash and Grind. Comes in a thick gatefold sleeve printed on raw, uncoated reverse cardboard and includes a 2-sided A2 poster with an extensive collection of rare photos, flyers, zine excerpts and reviews.

“Death to capitalist Halmshaw” was previously released as a limited edition CD by China’s Area Death Prod., this is the official re-issue on vinyl with 16 extra songs and a completely different/extended layout. Highly recommended to all enthusiasts of the early Grind/Noisecore era and the most extreme Britcore bands that have shaped and developed the genre. “Out of tune guitars with broken strings, unintelligible growls and smashed drum sticks”.

DIE-HARD SPLATTER WHITE/BLUE VINYL (ltd. to 100 copies) LAST COPIES!

REGULAR BLACK VINYL

==================

– RATOS DE PORÃO “Periferia 1982″ LP + 7″

Back to the very early origins of South America’s longest running and most respected Hardcore/Punk unit of all times: RATOS DE PORÃO. Best way to portray this: deep into the older basements of the basement rats. In fact, this incredible collection goes to sift in detail through the very first demo recordings of the band, before they started to pave their way with “Crucificados pelo sistema” and before the legendary beast-frontman João Gordo took vocal duties. “Periferia 1982” is an accurate journey through their raw Punk roots, it consists of the first and only two demos (including 5 hyper-rare extra songs that weren’t included in the previous CD edition) and their complete set at “O começo do fim do mundo”, one of the earliest and most important Brazilian Punk meetings of the early 80s. And to make this release even more complete and appetizing we have added a 7″EP including their 6 songs taken from the rare legendary “SUB” compilation LP, one of the first – and hands down the best – Brazilian Punk sampler of that era. So what you get here is a sheer dose of fast, no frills Punk/Hardcore stabs rarely clocking over 1 minute, hitting the face with razor shape distortion and that fury that echoes the true voice of the most abandoned suburbs.

This LP is enriched by a wide selection of period photos, liner-notes and the bonus “Sub” 7″ is presented as a miniature of the original Estudios Vermelhos’ v/a LP! Mandatory for fans of early Brazilian HC the way of OLHO SECO, INOCENTES, FOGO CRUZADO, PSYKOZE and in general raw Punk/Hc drawing influences in Discharge and in the filthiest Scandinavian sonic terrorists. 46 SONGS IN TOTAL!
