Sideshow

I don't know why people are into live recordings. There's not one I can think of that I like. Well except for some of the Flipper stuff because they feature genuinly different versions of their songs and I hardly if ever listen to those. So what's the point? I just don't get it.

Yet I know that out there somewhere there are people into that kinda stuff. So for all of you here's interesting news about the mighty RINGWORM. They are going to release their first ever live record Stigmatas In The Flesh 12" on A389 Records and you can stream a song of that Album here on the Labels soundcloud account.

I don't know if this really is the cover but if so I like it.

 

The crazy Russian

In Effect posted a brilliant interview with Jimmy Kontra who sang for a brief period in Agnostic Front before Roger and had his own band Virus released on Rat Cage Records. If you're into NYHC you better read this because he is one of the original punks. Hanging out on the LES before there even was AF or Cause For Alarm or any other band that you can think of falling into the category of NYHC. It was the time of The Stimulators, The Mad, Kraut, etc.

Jimmy: "NYHC, please….the term was “hardcore punk”. Who made up NYHC, I don’t know but it’s a bullshit term"

As much as I like that statement I have to say it was The Abused, one of my all time favorites, who might not have invented the term but most probably did a lot to establish it. Anyways. Go get another crucial lesson in hc-punk history!!
