"Formed in 1981, FATAL RAGE was the hardest, fastest, and most outrageous of the "Shorecore" bands. Fronted by the outspoken Jack Monahan (Jacko), the RAGE soon got a reputation for wild performances and terrorizing unsuspecting clubs with performances that immediately turned into nonstop slamfests. They had no problem finding an audience - the problem was finding a place to play."
Jack later went on to sing in the band DIRGE. A crossover band from Jersey which rules as well. I might make a post about them soon.
I love this band. great, fast, catchy, early Jersey Hardcore. I've been listening to this quite a bit lately.
Here I sit so fucking shy wondering what's going through your mind or what you're even like as time ticks quickly by a life so short, incomplete so many people I'd like to meet feeling awkward, afraid potential friends I could've made why do we keep to ourselves and not dare to leave our fucking shells let our feelings and emotions blend we could be the best of friends.
I'm beyond excited for the latest Moz tour. I had the time of my life at the two shows that I had went to last year. Easily the two best shows I have ever been to. I need to start saving money, I really want to try and make the Houston and Austin date again, but, I don't know if I would be able to. I can't wait, I'm going to rush the stage this time(jk?) Here are the dates.
04-10 Dallas, TX - Palladium Ballroom 04-11 Houston, TX - Jesse H Jones Hall 04-12 Austin, TX - Bass Concert Hall 04-14 04-14 El Paso, TX - Chavez Theater
I get so stoked thinking about last years shows. Bianca, John, Emily and I waiting in line for at least six hours, rushing to the front of the stage, John almost getting into a fight, John and I fighting with fifty other grown men for Moz's shirt(we both got a piece.) Singing along to all the songs, and coming within an inch of grabbing Moz's hand(John picked me up. Haha.) And that was just at the Austin show.
The Houston show will still always be my favorite. We got there a bit late, luckily for us we were able to squeeze into a great spot. For some reason I thought it was the funniest thing ever, there was a guy who kept yelling random things during Kristeen Young's set. It would be really quiet,then you would just here him yell "banana nut bread." Or "The Oiler's are still my favorite football team." Hahaha.
No drama or fighting for a shirt this time. But, it was still such a great night, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Luckily, someone recorded the show. And there was a bootleg floating around. I'm to lazy to upload it now but I will eventually.
Now the ride from Houston, back to Corpus, that is a story on its own. Let's just say it was quite interesting/scary. 6+ hours on a Greyhound bus...Never again.
This is a pretty cool video that I found, it has some really cool photos of the punks that use to hang around CB's back in the day. There is also some early AF/Psycho's footage.
Ten songs allegedly recorded on December 30th, 1984 for an lp with the original WarZone lineup featuring Tommy Rat on vocals and Raybeez on drums. What you get here is one future WarZone song(Take A Stand later appeared one the Rabeez-fronted Lower East Side Crew 7") and nine unreleased tracks. The unreleased songs are much slower and punkier sounding than the later WarZone material that we all know and love... the songs are noisy and bass heavy. A live set aparently exists from 1984 with three of these and five other unreleased songs, as well as a cover of The Munsters theme. I dont have that, but I would like it.
WarZone-Tommy Rat Demo 1.Take A Stand 2.United Front 3.Not This Time 4.Do Unto Others 5.Closed In 6.Paranoia Kills 7.Trouble 8.She Fucks For Drugs 9.Depths Of Reality
Since were on the subject of Merauder. I thought it would be a good idea to upload these demos as well. The first demo is the demo with Minus on vocals. This demo kills, its just really good, heavy hardcore. Some of the heaviest riffs written are on this demo. The second demo is with Eddie Sutton, of Leeway fame. This demo is really hit or miss with a lot of people. I absolutely love it, yet, a lot of people think it is complete garbage. The vocals on this demo compared to anything else by Merauder, are completely different. But I like it, and listen to it quite a bit. If you're into Merauder or NYHC in general, you need to give these two demos a listen.
Merauder-Demo w/Minus 1.Life Is Pain 2.Final War 3.Besiege The Masses 4.Fear Of Sin
Bad Seed is a Hardcore band out of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, that just released a new demo. Influences include a few NY bands such as Merauder, Cro-Mags, Madball, and Life Of Agony. You can definetly hear the Merauder influence(reminds me of the demo with Minus.) His voice also sounds a bit like Freddy Madball. This demo is heavy all the way through. Four tracks of heavy, anger filled hardcore. If you're into any of the bands mentioned, Or heavier hardcore, check out this band, you will not be disapointed.
Bad Seed-II Demo 1.Swallowing Knives 2.Nothing Is Real 3.Seperated 4.World View
