BAD-05 Concrete Asylum "Social Anxiety" EP (OUT NOW!)
Concrete Asylum is a band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Their record "Social Anxiety" has five tracks of fast, raw, crude,
furious, and unique hardcore PUNK. Their noise is reminiscent of Rudimentary
Peni, The Fix, Heresy or Jerrys Kids. But who cares! Just like punk itself,
there is more to this unit than a list of old bands we all love. Recorded in
2012 and originally released as the band's second tape to high praises, this
session is now mastered and released on vinyl, complete with jaw dropping
double-sided 11x17 sleeve by artist and member Adam Kindred.
BIR-005/BAD-04 Kremlin "s/t" 12 inch (split with Beach Impediment) (2013)
“Drunk in the gulag again!?! This time Kremlin emerge with not only a
hangover but the proverbial lightning in a bottle - 10 tracks of insane
hardcore punk captured on a four track and released for your listening
pleasure on a 45rpm 12inch. With a variety in song tempo, tone, structure and attention to detail
Kremlin have made a real record rather than flog the dead horse of one
riff and the same bag of tricks over and over to flex some musical
muscle in an attempt to be "punishing" or "brutal" (oh brother!) or
hammer home some point of reference. While they owe a debt to the past
of classic hardcore punk for their sound this record is truly an
addition to the punk cannon and their very own statement to the world.
Kremlin re-envision the music of their influences using the old puzzle
pieces to make a new picture - UK/European inspired punk riffing with
the speed, precision, and sense of rhythm of classic American hardcore. Kremlin's 4th release (and 2nd vinyl offering) steps back from the brink
of insanity and the psychedelic frontiers of last years "Will You Feed
Me" 7 inch with a more fleshed out, fully realized version of their
sound that is somewhere between the no non-sense sound of their demos,
the adventurous mayhem of their 7 inch, and the intensity of their live
show.”

BAD-03 Bad Skin "s/t" 7 inch (2012)
Posthumous release finally sees the light of day. If you are unfamiliar with Bad Skin read their "story" here.
Sounds like hardcore punk.

GRAVE054/SJ-01 School Jerks "s/t" 12 inch (split with Grave Mistake) (2012)
"Rawer than Raw Punk. Harder than Hardcore. This is punk for 2012."
After three killer 7" EPs, Toronto's SCHOOL JERKS finally deliver their
first LP - thirteen songs at 45 RPM. For the unfortunate souls still
needing an introduction to the sounds of the SCHOOL JERKS, what you can
expect are thirteen blasts of primal hardcore punk, stripped down to the
core leaving very little room for misinterpretation. We'll spare you
the comparisons, but if you prefer your hardcore restrained in a
straightjacket and locked in a rubber room, you need this LP. Includes a
Risograph poster, and more artwork by SCHOOL JERKS 'in house artist'
Tara Bursey. Split release with the band's new Bad Vibrations record
label.
The first release on Luke "Weiner's" original Bad Vibrations label. Great timeless snotty loose mid tempo punk, reminiscent of Sick Pleasure or Chickenhead...
