Brom Bones - Cope CD (1998)

Brom Bones is a punk / pop punk band out of Lancaster PA. They have been around since about 1989 and have released 2 self released cassettes, this album, an album called "Apart" and were featured on a bunch of compilations.

This album titled "Cope" was released in 1998 on Hoota-Man Records (HM432). I actually picked this up at an antique store 3 years ago for $1. It's short, but great on the punk pop.

I'm sure only around 1000 or so were pressed of this. "Jack Mackeral" was also featured on the Kaos Number Six compilation on Mother Box Records.

TRACK LISTING:
1. The Count
2. Reason
3. Pillow
4. Hooker

Dead By Dawn - Die Laughing...Cassette

ARTIST: Dead By Dawn

TITLE: Die Laughing...

LABEL: Self Release

YEAR: 1990

CATALOG: None

GENRE: Thrash Metal

PRESSING INFO: No idea. There can't be that many of these out there.

Thrash metal has been a genre, for me at least, that has been hit or miss. I do enjoy thrash metal. Some of it. There is a lot of releases from the 1980's that are just awesome. The unfortunate part of that, is that most of those releases are next to impossible to find. And when found, will cost a small fortune. I have also had experience with some from the 1990's that are great. Although it seems that a lot that I come across isn't very thrashy. Maybe 1 or 2 songs have some fast parts, but usually its your typical crap hair metal.

This is different. I love this release. I picked it up at a Goodwill for 49 cents about 7 years ago. I was hoping for something fast, but was expecting something shitty. This however is not shitty. Oh no. Its technical, its got some great fast circle pit style parts, and it doesnt let up from track 1 until the end. And it fits nicely in my small collection of metal releases.

As far as information on this release? You got me. Mostly everything is a mystery to me. I do know however it is from Mclean Virginia and was released in 1990. I have only found 1 reference to this online and its basically everything I just told you. A total mystery release!

I recommend checking this out if your into fast music. Also any information on this release would be awesome.

SIDE NOTE!!! I KNOW TRACK 1 IS MESSED UP A LITTLE BIT. IT STARTS ABOUT 10 SECONDS TOO LATE, AND SKIPS ABOUT 2 SECONDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG. IT IS MY CASSETTE PLAYER. THE REST OF THE RELEASE PLAYS PERFECT, SORRY!!!

CATALOG:

YEAR: 2004

PRESSING INFO: 127 pressed on banana colored vinyl. Unknown pressed on black vinyl. Some of black vinyl copies came with a silk screen cover that was available through the band. Also a few test pressings that made it out.

GENRE: Thrashcore / Hardcore / Punk

I first got into this band when I purchased this 7" at Double Decker Records. At the time I was trying to complete the 625 Thrashcore discography (I have since given up on it. There were a few releases which I thought sucked). It was probably only a buck or 2.

What I love about this release, it sounds like it could be straight out of the 80's hardcore and thrash scene. It's cleaner than most, but that's what makes in great. I can hear some melody in there was well. And there is singing, not growling or screaming. They also have a few demo tapes, some EP's, some splits and 1 LP under their belt. Too bad they aren't around anymore.

I believe I have picked up every version of this release. If there is a version you know of that I am missing here, please get at me. I want it!

The 4-Squares - Save The Clock Tower CD

ARTIST: The 4-Squares
TITLE: Save The Clock Tower
LABEL: Quincy Shanks
YEAR:
CATALOG #: QS #12
PRESSING INFO: No idea

Got myself a new computer! So here is another blog entry, that nobody is gonna read. Except you.

I picked this up off a message board a few years ago for $3. Wasnt sure what to expect, as the only reason I picked it up was because I needed 5 CD's to buy to get a special discount. I gave it a listen when it arrived, and didnt like it at first. Mainly because the rest of the sellers collection was pop punk. So I gave it a second listen a few months later and was surprised on how good I actually thought it was the second time around.

It's not pop punk. Or hard to find. But its a great release nontheless. Fast chaotic punk rock. The best part about this is the fact that they stay away from the breakdowns and metal influences that seem to hinder a lot of fast punk bands in the 90s.

I'm not sure when this was released, and I'm pretty sure its a discography of sorts. I have seen a lot of these songs on comps and singles.

Also, I just stole a shitty scan of the front cover off the internet. My copy is at a friends house and I really don't feel like going to get it and scanning it. Sorry!

Just a little update for the masses

Not sure if anybody reads this still or not, but I am taking a temporary hiatus from this here blog. My updates have become less and less frequent, but it is not like I have lost all interest in it. This computer I have has been sludging and dodging for the past year or so and I keep putting off getting a new one. Well its time. I am hoping to get another one within the next week or so. And hopefully it wont take 4 hours to update the blog! Yeah, see why I stopped doing it?

Anyways I am typing up and adding my entire music collection to Discogs.com. Just to keep track of the damn thing. Its a work in progress, but feel free to head over there and take a gander. And suggestions on future entries would be great!

Also, I will probably be changing the name of the blog, or starting a new one. I'm not sold on the title anymore. I'm leaning towards "Chairshot To The Skull". Thoughts?

Keep posted!

Go to www.discogs.com and search for Chairshotrecords. Thats me!
