Leprosy 7" out soon on Hardcore Victim!

Leprosy 7" Launch

Bog People - 81' in 09' demo (2009)

Prior to 09' there was very few bands that could realistically embody the true sounds of UK82, the most stand out of these was Germ Attak, but in late 09' a new band emerged from Portland Oregon that turned heads everywhere they went and defied the crust or noise conventions that were in place for most punk bands in the States. I give you Bog People, without a doubt one of the most impressive bands to appear in recent times.

Fueled by Cider and glue these guys (and one girl) managed to only squeeze out a demo tape and a split 7" that was also made on cassette in their rather short life span, which is a pity because they're fucking amazing. Caught somewhere between Lunatic Fringe, Uproar and Chaos UK, Bog People blast out 8 tracks of chaos that literally makes you believe it was recorded for Riot City Records in 82 and is a genuine testament to the genre. Definitely one of my favorites in the past few years, RIP Bog People.

Canadian punks Germ Attak are in the process of recording a new album and 7" due out in a few months, they also recently added Rick into the band with the departure of Simex. Here's a practice of them performing Girlschool's Emergency, the new album looks promising! For those of you who haven't heard them before their most recent release: Cruxshadow was without a double one of the best LP's of 2010.

Mandatory first post

Greetings,
Welcome to my blog, I plan on providing you with awesome tunes from around the globe. We are currently experiencing what I'd like to call: the new wave of raw punk. To shed some light on this claim I'm going to define raw punk as:

A subgenre of punk music influenced by early 80's hardcore punk, specifically from the UK (Chaos UK, Discharge, Disorder). Raw punk is an umberella term thats not strictly limited to the UK geographically and incorparates bands from all around the globe who are influenced by the subgenre known as UK82.

Of course, this blog/distro isn't going to be entirely centered on one genre of music, it will encompass a number of different artists and genres. I made that statement purely to emphase the style that my current bands are playing. (Leprosy and Mangel Wankers for those who don't know). For the time being I will be posting links regarding these two bands as well as the first official Atomic Age release which will be the demo of Californian Post punk band: Death of Venus.

I plan on starting small by limiting this labels releases to Cassettes at first but will be moving on to vinyl with the first Leprosy 7" which will be out shortly this year. Also in the middle of getting artwork for my distro and this webpage, In the mean time, enjoy my blog!
