Leftover Crack

Here is Leftöver Crack's first full length album Mediocre Generica. I picked this up off of the Crustmas blog initially, but it was in a shitty file format that only works in Itunes. So I'm reuploading it in .mp3 file format. Leftöver Crack is a band that encompasses several genres going from death metal, to ska, to crust punk all in short of each other. The singer is kinda weak initially, but he shows his skills as the album wears on. They have anarchist lyrics and sing about anti-homophobia, anti-religion, anti-government, anti-racism, etc. etc. This album was released by Epitaph, the irony of the name was lost to the producers who were pressuring the band to put out a mediocre generic name for the album. The album was released on Septempber 11, 2001, by coincidence. The band released their second album, which is a shitty follow up titled "Fuck World Trade", which beside the offensive name is actually not very good. The band currently reside at C-Squat.

I have since decided the world of Punk Rock wouldn't miss them if they fell in a hole, because they're fucking douche bags, but their music is pretty OK. Kinda mediocre.

And an added bonus:

Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade

Zen Arcade is the third studio album from the American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in July 1984 on SST Records. Originally released as a double album on two vinyl LPs, Zen Arcade is a concept album about an adolescent who runs away because his home life is unfulfilling, only to find the world outside is even worse. The album incorporates elements of jazz, psychedelia, acoustic folk, pop, and piano interludes, concepts previously unheard of in the world of hardcore punk.

Zen Arcade and subsequent Hüsker Dü albums were instrumental in the creation of the alternative rock genre; the band would later abandon the hardcore aesthetic entirely in favor of a post-hardcore style of melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock. While not commercially successful, the influence of Zen Arcade has stretched beyond the underground music sphere, and it is frequently included on lists of the all-time best rock and roll albums and more recently it has gained a cult following.

The Exploited

Zero requested some The Exploited, and here it is. This is my favorite Punk thing so far - not that I have heard THAT much, but still. This thing is vicious and unforgiving, and UK-82 has a necksnapping break which is repeated like 3 times, so don't even start fixing that until you have heard it three fuckin' times. Also, the midpaced tittle track is epic for a Punk band, another highlight. And please don't fuck the USA, but happily headbang to that song. Fans of Crossover Thrash like the Cro-Mags will love this. Also, fans of Overkill, early Motorhead, etc... Though, if you ask me, everyone must listen to this.

Arson Anthem

Here is Arson Anthem's self titled debut, it was founded by vocalist Mike Williams (EyeHateGod), guitarist Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Superjoint Ritual, Down), drummer Hank Williams III (Superjoint Ritual), and bassist Collin Yeo. Phil and Mike started jamming after listening to early hardcore punk albums, and then recruited III to start up a crust punk band. They wanted to make a hardcore sound like they used to listen to when they were kids. This is a really good album, Mike's vocals for some reason sound even higher and more abrasive than they do on with his EHG work.

Femmepunk Compilation

A selection of a few of my favourite female-fronted punk bands. Not all are strictly feminist, and there's a nice enough mix of anracho-punk (Crass), Riot Grrrl (Bikini Kill, Excuse 17), queercore (Team Dresch, Sleater-Kinney) and plain old punk rock (The Gits, Patti Smith). I haven't labelled them as an album in iTunes, sorry, but otherwise the labels are fine.

Track Listing:

1. Bratmobile, Shop for America
2. The Gits, Another Shot of Whiskey
3. Crass, Systematic Death
4. Bikini Kill, Carnival
5. Sleater-Kinney, Night Light
6. Excuse 17, We're the Seniors (And We Rule the School)
7. Patti Smith, Ask the Angels
8. Team Dresch, 107
9. Team Dresch, Don't Try Suicide

Descendents - Milo Goes to College

One of the most important punk albums of all time, Milo Goes to College is endless in its appeal, and never ceases to entertain. At only 22.32, it may seem short to those of you more used to metal epics, but it's always worth a listen. Interestingly, it has been theorised that we can blame the Descendents for adding -age on the end of things in internet slang (pwnage, etc).
