Punk | Hardcore 409 Items

Back On Black Records are set to reissue the D.R.I. "Greatest Hits" album, originally released in 2001.

D.R.I.'s music has combined elements of punk rock, thrash metal, speed metal and heavy metal, while their early material has been described as hardcore punk. They are often cited as one of the key bands that helped create the crossover thrash genre, along with S.O.D., Suicidal Tendencies and Corrosion Of Conformity.

The fourth record from each of these bands, so make it a split one. Floridian hardcore in the vein of angry and aggressive.

This is where it all starts. Without any reminiscing about their former band Operation Ivy, Matt Freeman (bass) and Tim Armstrong (guitar/vocals) blast through their debut without any hints of ska or blatant Clash plagiarizing. On the contrary, this album rips through 15 tracks of high-energy punk that"s accompanied by heavy bass leads and Armstrong"s permanently slurred vocals. And to top it all off, the lyrical content deals with urban blight and the lifestyle of being a public nuisance. With this trademark sound, Rancid provides the perfect soundtrack for any car chase that includes massive property damage; is it a wonder MTV wouldn"t touch this? -Mike DaRonco

Great classic UK punk, originally released on Link records in 1992, for the first time on vinyl. Recorded in various locations in 1981. Limited edition on color vinyl, comes complete with a Poster for an exclusive photo by Ray Stevenson and OBI strip. Limited to 500 copies for RSD 2023.

UP red vinyl reissue of classic 1997 ska-punk masterpiece by NYC act. Gained national attention on MTV's 120 minutes, this 2nd album was ahead of it's time! Extravagant rhythms heralded a new shift into experimental territories with funky breaks, avant garde solos and metal/hardcore forays!

Considered by many to be “true” metal-core, Shai Hulud has been one of the most influential bands within the genre since their inception in 1995. After multiple full-lengths, EPs, collected works and various member changes, Shai Hulud is still touring the world with legions of fans supporting them. That Within Blood Ill-Tempered is a testament of heart, passion, and sincerity. Musically, Shai Hulud has maintained the sound they initially re-invented— an angered and melodic, multi-layered blend of beauty and aggression. A Profound Hatred Of Man demonstrated a technical hardcore style that influenced the entire metalcore scene and broke through lyrical theme barriers. Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion displays some of the most honest and darkest thoughts of Shai Hulud’s career. From the opening guitar chord of “Solely Concentrating On The Negative Aspects Of Life,” it only gets uglier and more real with each track.

Svart proudly present an official vinyl reissue of the 2005 album by Boston’s kings of rockabilly flavored party punk rock, Punk Rock Rhythm & Blues! Sold out on vinyl for years.

” Over the Counter Culture should be required listening for anyone into modern day U.S. street punk, as it easily outshines much of it when thrown in that category. This should have legs outside that scene though, as this is really more fun than anything else released this year.”

Svart Records present an official vinyl reissue of the debut and so far only album by the Eyehategod side project Outlaw Order, originally released on Season of Mist in 2008. Walking on a similar path as their mothership EHG, Outlaw Order do their best to push the dirty, sludge-ridden envelope even further. “At just over twenty seven minutes long, this is just fucking spot on for an album that aims to equate with the force of a double barrelled shotgun. The fury that explodes from OO% cannot be faked, and this debut makes compelling listening for anyone who digs the pungent New Orleans sound of EHG and their various associates, whether on parole, in remand, or currently serving time.” – The Sleeping Shaman

Sixteen is a record of youth, ambition, and reflection. Titled after the number of questions asked in the lyrics, and written/recorded as the members faced impending graduation from school, Sixteen is an album about where we’ve been and where we’re going. Musically, there’s no question and no shame in the influences from all things Yemin, but that appreciation for the past is filtered through courage for the future and the band’s own approach to what was once known as pop-punk, establishing their own homage to melody and ambition. That recognition of the past as an affect of the future is prevalent in the lyrics as singer Scott Freeman considers how the person he’s been, the person he is, and the person he wants to be all fit into a world that isn’t always receptive to straying from the beaten path. If you’ve ever been in that time of your life where you are equally terrified of the future taking over your past and excited to see what that looks like, this is the soundtrack to that time. It can be owned on vinyl once

The anticipated new album from long-running Fat Wreck staple Strung OUT, and the band's heaviest album to date. Fourteen tracks of blistering, technical, and highly aggressive punk rock produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Sum 41, Hatebreed, etc.) to bring out the beast.

Bay area punk wonder-boys No Use For A Name have begun pleading for your friendship. Show your love for the boys, who were each reared with the ideals of Boy Scout Troup #221, by giving ’em wet sloppy ones when they come to your town.

For the first time on vinyl since its release in 1997, a classic of the classics where the Supersuckers lead the way and go cowpunk with releasing an Americana classic. Remastered in 2023. Featuring guest appearances from none other than Willie Nelson and Bouncing back from the setback of Sacrilecious, the Supersuckers recorded their most ambitious album with Must've Been High. Using their garagey, post-hardcore punk as a launching pad, they delve deeply into country, even recording with Willie Nelson on one cut. Tellingly, the Supersuckers sound their best when they go for a snotty update of cowpunk -- compared with their metal and Stooges-obsessed contemporaries, the band sounds positively fresh with the little bit of twang. Must've Been High is an intoxicating concoction of fiery riffs, goofy humor and punk attitude.

Originally released on cassette by Blue Bus in 1990 and issued here for the first time on vinyl This was Kina's first live album. An in your face snapshot of the band caught live during their 1900 European tour. Special Edition LP + CD + printed inner sleeve

Originally released on Kina's Blu Bus label in 1996 "Citta invisibili" comes as the band's most mature work. A strong and final statement from one of the seminal hardcore punk bands ever. Special Edition LP + CD + printed inner sleeve

They weren’t as influential as Pavement, as industrious as Guided By Voices, as idiosyncratic as Unrest, or as ubiquitous as Superchunk. But the part that Versus played in the indie rock underground of the 1990s can’t be overlooked. In some ways, Versus were the quintessential indie rock band.” —Pitchfork Versus are pioneers of the early ’90s indie rock revolution. Formed in 1990 in New York City by Detroit-bred brothers Richard and Ed Baluyut and Texan Fontaine Toups, Versus named themselves after Mission Of Burma’s debut album. After recording a few singles on various labels, Let’s Electrify! was self-released by the band on CD and was out-of-print shortly thereafter. It was the first and last release on their Remora imprint. This is the first time it will be available on vinyl and the first time in 28 years that it will be available on any format.The six-song Let’s Electrify is their debut and was released September of 1993 just eight months before their stellar debut album, The Stars Are Insane. This is just as good and while it has six songs, it clocks in at a healthy 25 minutes. It was recorded by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Helium, Lilys). Remastered in 2021 by Scott Anthony of Storybook Sound. This marks a return to the Teen-Beat label for the band after stints with Merge and Caroline. The original line up is still together together and still based in New York. They released a new album in 2019 on the Ernest Jennings label. They will be playing live shows in the future when conditions allow.

Fully remastered reissue for the debut album of Marky Ramone's band after The Ramones retirement. 13 fresh songs of pure classic punk rock.

Since breaking out of the hardcore pack with the savage onslaught of
2001's "Jane Doe," Converge has been the band to watch, pacesetters who
have consistently set the next creative level in aggressive music; their
Epitaph debut "You Fail Me" was named one of 2004's 10 essential
releases in Alternative Press. Now comes "No Heroes," an album that
brilliantly combines the textural sonics of "You Fail Me" with the
brutal assault of "Jane Doe"; the intensity of opening track "Heartache"
will simply peel the paint from the walls. With "No Heroes," Converge
and producer/guitarist Kurt Ballou have created a masterpiece of raw
emotion and adrenaline frenzy destined to sit alongside other touchstone
albums of the hardcore genre.

The debut album now available on 180g vinyl ... yeah!

Richmond's rip-blasting fusers of all things heavy and most things sweet, tear up a new album, and light the scene on fire. Fourteen anthemic new tracks that expertly forge elements of hardcore, emo, punk, country and classic rock into one mighty sound that hits both raw and rah-rah. Always on tour.

THE Nation OF Ulysses was a violent separatist political party and terrorist group operating out of Washington, DC in the early 1990's. Though they've disappeared into obscurity, they've spawned countless milquetoast imitators who've tried to appropriate their looks, language, sound and presentation for the sake of career advancement. These cheap imitators can't comprehend that the Nation of Ulysses derived their awesome power from their unswerving commitment to secession and havoc wreaking, and not to the banal and unimportant pursuit of fame and wealth. The N.O.U. is probably the most important development to beset music since electrification, as they were the first to articulate intent through written manifestos and stage hystrionics, refuting rock'n'roll's traditional policy of posturing rebelliously while aping parent culture values. Features members of Chain & THE Gang, Weird WAR, Scene Creamers and THE MAKE-UP.”—N.O.U. Originally released in August of 1991.

Formed in the town of New Mills, Derbyshire in 1980, Oi legends Blitz revitalised the UK punk scene of the era, their incendiary debut Voice Of A Generation a massive commercial success, but the 1983 follow-up Time Empire Justice had a different line-up and new wave orientation, pointing to fissures in the group; then, in 1990, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Nidge Miller teamed up with former Attack frontman Gary Basnett for The Killing Dream, a studio swansong that revived the name with Nidge fully in control. Devotees will love the sterling guitar work on this final piece of the Blitz jigsaw.

Born in the Basement, the 1994 second LP from horror-pop-punk mainstays the Groovie Ghoulies, in many ways marked a pivotal transition point for the band that would set the course for the rest of their career. After the first LP, the band had moved from Los Angeles to Sacramento, the city that would remain their home base for the duration of the band. The title of the record is more factual than one might assume: at the time, the Ghoulies' lineup of Kepi (bass/vocals), Roach (guitar), and Wendy (drums) were all co-habitating in a house by the city cemetery, practicing in the basement, where the record was indeed "born"! This lineup would remain together for the follow-up World Contact Day, which became the best-selling Ghoulies record! They also found themselves working with a prestigious new producer, recording at Seattle's Egg Studios with Conrad Uno (Mudhoney, The Presidents of the United States of America, The Ergs!). This relationship, too, would continue for World Contact Day. Fuelled by fan-favourite Ghoulies staples such as "The Beast with Five Hands," "I Wanna Have Fun," and "Back to the, Garage," the album was a self-released sell-out through two pressings, attracting the attention of legendary Bay Area punk label Lookout Records, who would work with the band through the year 2000, releasing 4 LPs and re-releasing 2, including Born in the Basement. Having already re-released the best-selling classic World Contact Day, Pirates Press Records is proud to present the album that paved the way for it and the long & storied career of the Groovie Ghoulies, Born in the Basement!
