yeah the studio recordings of those clikitat songs sound like a pick-up band playing them. (also, shitty recording.) that live album is nicely atmopheric (lots of space which is an underrated virtue with this sort of thing), and the drumming on, say, "8 hours of drama", doesn't sound like popcorn popping.

as nice as colin is, i somehow doubt it will top the relevance of the first 2 dag nasty records. plus, i hate reserving judgement on these "the band that time forgot!" reissues that come out 15-20 years later. THERE IS A REASON THAT THEY WERE FORGOTTEN! <= j/k.

re: Antioch Arrow. "Gems Of Masochism" got a reissue through Three One G recently... I like that record. I don't think it's the "wrong" album, actually.. just different. Although I do think the "Lady Is A Cat/In Love With Jetts/Plus Extra" CD rocks a lot more.

haha yeah i've already seen the "gems of masochism" reissue in the used bins at a couple stores (it's not a bad record, really.)

Because all of their records are out of print?

As i just pointed out, Three One G just reissued "Gems of Masochism", and I think Gravity still presses the other Antioch Arrow records.. in fact, they recently repressed a good chunk of their catalog, me thinks.

Actually, my favorite Antioch Arrow song is "Paper Moshay" off "Gems"... they're still the only band to properly fuse the Rozz Williams-over-Rock-Chaos thing very well on that record.. if only the rest of the album was like that, but still, yeah, great record. The earlier ones are powerhouses but get a bit grating and samey after a while, whereas i'm more likely to listen to "Gems" time after time.

(sorry, Ian, thought you were talking about Antioch Arrow)

well, heh, aside from Only Theatre Of Pain of course... minus the chaos.

Wasn't nearly all of Gravity's catalog out of print for years or something? Didn't that dude have a junk problem?

Don't know what Tonie's up to and don't care, really. I don't think Vermin Scum is active -- doesn't matter, it's not like Tonie ever paid anybody or kept anything in print or even checked to make sure things were mastered at the right speed; he just stole the name and the checks while one of us was having substance problems. There are some differences (as to format, song selection, which takes to use) on the anthology, but everything is mixed and ready for the decisions to be (FINALLY) made. We've been stung by giving out tapes before, but truly devoted people should e-mail me.

And I do humbly believe that the Hated really were all that.

donut bitch is otm about "paper moshay." antioch arrow put on one of the best shows i saw in my high school years, playing at an elks lodge, no stage, no more than 30 people attending 5 feet away from the band (10 years before Lightning Bolt was doing it). the singer was this tiny skinny guy who somehow ended up reminding me of David Lee Roth with his histrionics. great show.

10 years before Lightning Bolt did it? I think the first LB show was 1994!

OH IRONEE

I'm now ripping through the Antioch Arrow stuff.

I'm trying to I.D. those four bonus live cuts on the In Love With Jetts Plus WAU CD... The first is "Antioch Gold (For You)" and the fourth one is "Chaos vs. Cosmos". I can't figure out the two in between. Also still trying to figure out if those live recordings are at a wrong slower speed, or the singer had gotten a Nick Cave larynx operation. Anyone know what those last four live tracks are?

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 2 March 2009 00:58 (4 years ago) Permalink

I tried searching for this thread a few times with variations on "gothed-out hardcore".

Anyway, Angel Hair = <3

― Sundar, Monday, 2 March 2009 01:05 (4 years ago) Permalink

I need to listen to the Angelhair CD again... I'm glad I never sold off those VSS releases.. they sound a lot better on revisit than I expected.

anyway, I think those four live AA cuts are
Antioch Gold (For You)
The Puppy Love
Space Age
Chaos vs. Cosmos

and I found this live Antioch Arrow footage from 1992-1993 or so.

Elvis wish he had shakier legs

Put on VSS' Nervous Circuits two days ago on a drive down the I-5 and it still sounded so, so good.

― bear, bear, bear, Monday, 2 March 2009 05:33 (4 years ago) Permalink

so did that Hated discography CD ever come out? I saw them once before Colin, once after, great both times. Used to have the 1st 7" and the tape but stupidly sold them years ago. I'd love to have that stuff on CD especially if as noted above things were mastered at the wrong speed.

― sleeve, Monday, 2 March 2009 16:23 (4 years ago) Permalink

also, search the 1st two UOA 7" singles.

is it even still possible to track down later UOA stuff or Clikitat without paying big bucks on eBay?

― sleeve, Monday, 2 March 2009 16:24 (4 years ago) Permalink

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Order-Armageddon/dp/B00000372U

If you don't mind CD, as far as UOA is concerned. Not really big bucks.

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Unraveling/dp/B00000373Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1236012692&sr=1-1

This is the better CD, IMHO. And seems to be creeping up as collector's item.

I saw Great Unraveling once. They were amazing, although the singer tried really hard to convince self that nobody was there to see his band and seemed to look for an excuse to not play. Never saw UOA.

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 2 March 2009 16:53 (4 years ago) Permalink

thanx Mackro. I saw UoA play for free once (1994?) in Eugene's downtown market square, they were really good and had these awesome low-volume tape loops running in between the songs.

search heroin's discography cd, containing the best hardcore (punk) record of the 90s. (followed closely by born against's patriotic hymns for children.

search -everything- on gravity records, but esp. the first antioch arrow 12", the angel hair discography CD, the mighty clikitat ikatowi's live CD, the VSS's nervous circuits,the born against/universal order of armageddon split 7", the uoa dub 12", the men's recovery project 7".

non-gravity: the universal order of armageddon and great unravelling 12"s on kill rock stars, i guess early unwound counts here, the monorchid, the first rye coalition album.

destroy: humorless/style-less political hardcore inna ebullition stylee, former spazz-core bands copping bowie moves (the rapture, get hustle, etc.), the locust and all who sail her stillborn waters.
