Shot Baker - Time To Panic EP




Shot Baker is a fantastic punk band from Chicago. I want to come up with some subgenre to put it under, but i don't know what to call it. Original sounding Pop-ish Hardcore, i guess. Kinda sounds like Screeching Weasel with with someone trying to sing like the Ramones but they can't.
Anyway i got into this band from a fantastic live version of Sorry Illinois featured on the I Killed Punk Rock compilation. i should post that.

Destroy-Discography





I went online to see if anyone else had this posted, and i was a litlle bit shocked and disturbed when i couldnt find it after 45 seconds of half hearted searching. So assuming you chumps are as lazy as i am, im postimng this here for your listening pleasure.


Destroy is a really great late 80s crust punk band from America. This album seriously restored my faith in crust punk. The liner notes say this is everything except their demo. I believe this band was originally formed to play in the style of the early english harcore bands, chaos u.k, discharge, ect, but then absorbed extreme noise terror and napalm death and the like to become pioneers of crust punk. I think one of the members of this band went of to form Havoc Records, which is one of the major crust and hardcore record labels in America.

Flatfoot 56 - Waves of War, Rumble of 56

Flatfoot 56 is a celt-punk, oi-ish, band from Chicago. Ive seen them twice, and both were some of the most amazing shows I've ever been to. You know its a great show when you leave the concert soaked in bear and other peoples sweat. These are the two albums that are out of print. I Can strongly recomend the albums they do have in print, and they shouldnt be to hard to find if you look.

Squared Off-Standing Strong




Squared Off is a great oi street punk type band from Chicago. I caught them live a couple weeks ago, it was an amazing show, though the violent middle aged skinheads started to annoy me. They sound a litlle bit like sham 69, 4-skins, ect.


Let Down - Not My Proudest Moment CDR




I got this album free at a Flatfoot 56 concert(great celtic oi band from the chicago area). In style its really good fast, furious hardcore, sounds similar to Impact Unit to me, or some of the NYHC bands, lifes halt and that kind of crap. Its a CDR so the quality isnt the best, and it has a short running time, but its fantastic.

Get It Here
pic isnt of this band, i just thought it looked cool. if you have it let me know.
