DISCHARGE “Noise not music 1980-1983” BOOK + 4xCD, TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR “Complete Noise 1982-1986…” LP+CD, ORAL “Dystopisk framtid” LP, KRUNCH “Honänu – En samling 1983/1989” LP and NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP (2nd edition) preorders start NOW!!

4 x Swedish hardcore rippers and the definitive, expanded version of the classic DISCHARGE “Noise not music” book enriched by a 4 x CD set with rare recordings 1980-1983… this is what we offer you this month, nothing more and nothing less! Another glorious hardcore death-race on F.O.A.D., the result of the usual manic work of painstaking research and assembly.  And a pairing that fits perfectly: there’s no doubt that Discharge had a strong influence on the first wave of Scandinavian hardcore, so putting together 4 x Swedish HC ragers from the 80s and a mammoth audio & visual collection on Discharge from their 1980-19893 heyday is surely a formula that will be enjoyed by many… All the Swedish releases have been made with the support of Uproar Records and consist of: the fuzzy and irreverent TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR, with their primitive and rough hardcore “trash” attack; the obscurity of ORAL, with straightforward hardcore in pure Scandinavian school (think Anti Cimex, Totalitär, Avskum); KRUNCH – on their second F.O.A.D. release, this time a complete collection of all their singles released in the 80s, and NYX NEGATIV with by popular demand a reissue of the LP discography already released on F.O.A.D. two years ago.  What to say about the DISCHARGE book, to quote the mastermind that assembled this beast, namely Rich Walker of the legendary SORE THROAT: “In 1980, four teenagers from the darkest depths of Stoke On Trent exploded onto the world punk scene with the subtlety of a nuclear warhead detonation. Collected across this revised and expanded edition of 4 x CD’s, and accompanied by a hardback book with 100 full-color pages of rare band photos, flyers and original magazine features, is a monstrously detailed historical dissemination documenting the band’s unrelenting assault upon HC punk audiences worldwide”.

To sum up, June on F.O.A.D. Records will delight you with the following sonic crimes: DISCHARGE “Noise not music 1980-1983” BOOK + 4xCD, TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR “Complete Noise 1982-1986…” LP+CD, ORAL “Dystopisk Framtid” LP, KRUNCH “Honänu – En samling 1983/1989” LP and NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP (2nd edition). Preorders are up now at www.scareystore.com !!  As always, a few recommendations that we ask you to read and keep in mind: we have made available two different bundles at a discounted price.. one for those who want to grab all of this month’s releases together, and one including only the diehard versions of the 4 x Swedish HC releases. We suggest you to act fast because they are time limited and will expire before the out-now date (June 17).  PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OPENING OF THESE PRE-SALES WE HAVE ALSO APPLIED 10% OFF ON ALL VINYL AND CDS IN OUR HUGE MAILORDER CATALOG AT WWW.SCAREYSTORE.COM – don’t miss your chance!  And very last thing: we repeat it all the time but few people pay attention…the amount of orders we have to process daily is really challenging and stressful, especially when it comes to a pre-orders phase like this. Please don’t bombard us with requests that put us in a bind such as additions or replacement of items after the pre-order is complete, address changes, anxiety about getting the tracking number right away, and so on.  This wastes a lot of our time and slows down our schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
