Big Deal "Very Mysterious" 7" (1987)
This is a perfectly named EP, as this band is just that, very mysterious. I know little to nothing about this band but here goes. Big Deal was from Louisville, KY and released this EP in 1987, impressed? Sonically this brings to mind bands like Minor Threat, 7Seconds and Sluggo, just a few years later with a little bit of the late 80's posi vibes shining through. Pretty solid and seemingly forgotten HC punk. "Works Everytime" is my radio show pick.

The Abused "Loud And Clear" 7" (1983)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://homepages.nyu.edu/~alr237/abused_loudandclear.jpg)
Another fine release that would have been posted 2 years ago had I not taken such a hiatus. Completely brutal pissed off NYHC. Heavy skinhead/Oi vibes through out. Some of the finest vocals from the era and area. Mostly fast but slowing down and getting a little weird on "Nuclear Threat" which has some haunting riffs until the half way point when it picks back up into the fast hardcore then back into the weird head nodding dirge. This EP makes me want to stomp skulls. "Drug Free Youth" is the standout track in my eyes. The Abused have played some reunion shows that from what I've heard were amazing, still bummed about missing them in St. Louis a while back, their first ever show outside of the NY/NJ area. Released on the band's own Abused Records.
1. Loud and Clear

Crippled Youth "Join The Fight" 7" (1986)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://www.goodbadmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/CrippledYouth_front.jpg)
I can't believe I didn't post this one two years ago. Oh well, here is the lone 7" EP from what would later become the still influential youth crew band BOLD. 9 tracks of intense blistering NYHC/Youth Crew from a group of then 13-14 year olds. Matt's vocals on this record are fucking priceless! Fierce at moments, very innocent sounding at others, sometimes cracking. Excellent smile inducing lyrics dealing with kids that suck, straight edge, unity, standing up for yourself, moshing, you know stuff kids are into. Crippled Youth played a reunion show(s) somewhat recently which is kinda silly, but whatever. Good bad Music for bad, bad Times! referred to this band as "Boyscout Hardcore", this term made coffee come out of my nose. This EP rages. Released by New Beginnings from California.

Judge "New York Crew" 7" (1988)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://www.bandtoband.com/images/covers/144/78/3978.gif)
Looking back through the comments I've noticed several request for more "youth crew" post, I'll see what I can do. How about I start with the debut EP from now legendary NYHC band Judge. Originally released on John Porcell's Schizm records and later reissued to the masses by the mighty Revelation. On this release, despite other members being listed, all the music was recorded by John Porcell(bass & guitar) & Mike Judge(drums & vocals). Musically what you'd expect from members of Youth of Today & Death Before Dishonor. Fast, heavy and pissed off NYHC. "We called it the wolfpack, we called it united blood."

New York Wolfpack "S/T" LP (1988)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://homepages.nyu.edu/~alr237/wolfpack_lp.jpg)
Albany Hardcore with tips of the hat to both early New York & Boston Hardcore without being a total clone, but also not being the most original thing ever. Pretty rad that it's from '88 and avoids the realms of Youth Crew and Cross Over Thrash especially given their location. Some killer leads thrown around throughout the LP. Brings to mind bands like Agnostic Front & The Mob but kinda has a retarded Pacific Northwest grunge vibe to it as well. So I guess think AF and Green River. Totally worth the occasional "spin". Released on Bomp Records.

Fatal Rage "S/T" 12" (1983)
Well coming up on two years ago I promised that the incredible 12" from New Jersey's Fatal Rage would be posted! Looks like I'm not a liar after all. 11 tracks of perfect punk hardcore that only NJ degenerates and Mutha Records could have created. Try not to pogo in your chair to "Die Lady Di". You can't, it's impossible. I've stolen the opening riff from "U.O.A." in every band I've ever been in. This record is a true gem of the KBD world.

Another gem from the Mutha Records of New Jersey catalog. Amateurish punk hardcore with a mid paced tempo and snotty sung vocals on the first track. Mostly sped up and angry throughout the rest of the EP, but slowing down here and there to dirge. Unpolished and raw the way hardcore should be. Enjoy.

The Young & The Useless "Real Men Don't Floss" EP (198
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MCE399ASdOA/S8A58t-UskI/AAAAAAAADqg/c2qpqPqIUz0/s400/The+Young+And+The+Useless+-+1982+-+Real+Men+Don%27t+Floss+EP+(USA).jpg)
Bratty NYHC featuring Adam of the Beastie Boys and sounding very similar to the "Pollywog Stew" EP. The closing track "Funky Music" even reminds me a little of the "Cooky Puss" 12". If you are a fan of early Beastie Boys, The Mob, Urban Waste etc, then check this out for sure. Oh yeah there is also a weird punk rendition of a childrens christian song. Weird.

![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://www.touchandgorecords.com/images/catalog/fullsize/328-1.jpg)
Another hardcore classic from Touch & Go. The debut EP from Michigan's offensive, perverse, hilarious punk combo The Meatmen. This is by no means their strongest release but still has some amazing songs. Look for their other releases or the "Spud Powercock" collection CD. Tesco Vee is as important as Ian Mackaye or Greg Ginn, if you don't know this you are probably a fucking moron.

![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://www.touchandgorecords.com/images/catalog/fullsize/142-1.jpg)
Deranged and demented hardcore punk/noise from ex-members of Michigan legends The Fix & The Meatmen. Tesco Vee(vocals, electric trumpet) backed by Steve Miller(guitar), Mike Achtenberg(bass) and Pat Clark(drums). Blight released just this one EP and played only 5 shows in their four month existence before slipping into the afterthoughts of America's middle aged youth. For fans of gritty love and anyone liking their hardcore on the weirder side of things. Released by the mighty Touch & Go and seemingly impossible to find.

One of the quintessential Hardcore compilations of the early 80s. Sitting on the same level as "This Is Boston, Not L.A." & "Let Them Eat Jellybeans" in my book. This showcases a lot of the more obvious of the DC bunch but also a few lesser known but still amazing bands such as Artificial Peace, Red C & Deadline. This is crucial listening for everyone new and old to the genre.

Chronic Sick "The Cutest Band In Hardcore" EP (1982)
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20151118130330im_/http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/4450.jpg)
It seems that a lot of people that even know about this band hate them. I really can't see why. I don't feel that I can post this without including this great review they received in 1983, here goes...
Last and definitely least The Cutest Band In Hardcore E.P. by Chronic Sick. This is the worst. The worst words. These kids should get beat up. If they want to be shocking why don't they kill themselves on stage. I think that's better than writing racist and sexist songs that will make people want to kill them anyway. We appreciate a colorful crowd so if they know what's good for them they won't play New York again.
-Javi Savage, from Big City zine #4, May/June 1983
Really I love this record. Six tracks of punky New Jersey Hardcore, "Dress Code" being my favorite falling almost into a power-pop/Ramonesy kinda thing towards the end. Fuck yeah!
1. There Goes The Neighbourhood
2. Dress Code
3. Public Suicide
4. Man Rape Blues

Recorded at Hit & Run in 1982, released by Lost & Found in 1990. Lo-fi punk hardcore from DC, who as John said in his request were also featured on the excellent "Mixed Nuts Don't Crack" compilation LP on Outside records(1984). This contains those tracks as well as their demo tape.
