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!

Plague Of Shadows - Demo 2005 CDr

This release is a little bit different than most that I post on this blog. Although my collection consists of mainly pop punk and power pop, I do however have a large chunk of rockabilly, garage, grindcore, thrash, death metal, and even some country and blues. This however is a lone wolf in the collection.

I do believe this is my only metalcore release in my collection. To be honest, I always hated metalcore. But this release isnt all that bad, and has some fast parts which I really seem to enjoy. I picked this up at a show back in 2005 at the Champion Ship in Lemoyne PA.

Self released in 2005 on a CDr. It sounds like a home recording, but there are production and mixing credits. Probably not more than 100 or so released. 2 tracks, so its pretty short. But download it and let me know what everybody thinks.

And if you like this, the band is still around so check them out.

Face To Face - Face To Face (1996)

I own just about every Face To Face release. This band was great. However most of the material is still in print. This CD seems like it is out of print, which would mean its going on the blog!

If you are into punk rock, and haven't heard of Face To Face, you need to get your ears checked. The band has been around since 1991, and released a ton of releases. Lots of vinyl as well for us collector nerds. This album in particular is one of their best. Not as good as Don't Turn Away, but pretty damn close. I was always iffy about buying this album for some reason. Until I picked up the LIVE! release and heard Complicated. This cd is a little bit more polished than the previous releases, but still great. I love the music of Face To Face, but I seem to find the lyrics leaving a lot to be desired.

This album was released on A&M Records in 1996. Catalog # 31454 0601 2 IN02. There is also a vinyl version that was released on Vagrant Records. Which is you really wanted it, you could pick it up around $15 to $20.

Resignation was also on the Five Years On The Streets compilation CD.
Blind was on "I Hear Ya: Summer '97" CD on Caroline Distribution, and "Bands We Like" CD on Combat Zone Records.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Resignation
2. Walk The Walk
3. Blind
4. Ordinary
5. I Won't Lie Down
6. Can't Change The World
7. Handout
8. Everything's Your Fault
9. Take It Back
10. Complicated
11. Put You In Your Place
12. Falling
