Hard sound punk/hardcore/harder-indie vinyl show on Gulls Window Circus. The show goes as far back as BOA’s 1974 Martha & The Vandellas cover and as recent as the Strange Club Records ‘Secret Futures’ comp, the Big Flame ‘Peel Sessions 84-86’ 10″, and the debut 7″ by Boston band Out Of The Blue (doing a Wipers cover). The idea for this show started with a re-evaluation of 7 Seconds ‘New Wind’ and Uniform Choice ‘Staring Into The Sun’ LPs (both at-the-time not particularly appreciated), then blossomed into a collection of tracks I though fit well with those records. You will also hear late-period Forgotten Rebels (’86 LP ‘The Pride And The Disgrace’), Big Boys doing a Kool & The Gang cover, Eighth Route Army’s final 7″ ‘Jesus DeMilo’ from 1988, The Nuns with a 1977 demo version of ‘Suicide Child’ that is way different than the version you know, and 2 tracks by the Dictators’s Scott Kempner band Del-Lords.

7″ played alphabetically series concludes: Hardcore part 4 of 4. This week runs from Scared Straight to Strange Flesh in part 1, and Subhumans to Zee Teen Titans in part 2. I take the luxury to play more than one song from many of the artists in this show. My #1 song from this and the song that won’t leave my head is Subhumans’s Parasites. Award for most classic song today? Unnatural Axe ‘They Saved Hitler’s Brain’.

7″ played alphabetically series returns: Hardcore part 3 of 4. This week runs from Kudgel to The Peechees in part 1, and Pillsbury Hardcore to Rich Kids On LSD in part 2. What do we get? Kustomized covering La Peste. Pre-Slapshot Choke in Last Rights. 1978 Plurex Records goodness from Mollesters. Bands I love such as Lefty Lucy, N.O.T.A., Oiler, Pillsbury Hardcore, Raooul (with a song that knocks-off The Knack), and Rich Kids On LSD. Lots of one-offs and foreign obscurities flesh out another aces show.

7″ played alphabetically series returns: Hardcore part 2 of 4. This week runs from The Gits to Kudgel. Be sure to hear Jolly Mortals ‘Gladiator’, Justice League, King-Kill/33°, The Hard-Ons, Iron Prostate, and Jack Acid. I had forgotten how good late period Hüsker Dü could be. ‘Makes No Sense At All’ has stuck in my head. The Hedonists include a 1993 Spinga (vocalist for SSD). Ill Repute remains my personal fave HC band, and we have 3 tracks here. Every track packs it in, just like the other 3 shows in this series.

7″ played alphabetically series returns: Hardcore part 1 of 4 – 21 songs in part 1 and 22 songs in part 2 – whew! Highlights? I recommend just putting this on and letting it play. Songs were not chosen simply because I had access to the 7″ – every track earned its place. Special callout to Boston artists Bloodletter , Chickita, Eight Route Army, The Edge, The Evil Streaks, Fat Day, Gang Green, Gerty Farish and GingerBread Men. Special love to Mystic Records singles by Doggy Style, Don’t No, Dr. Know, False Confession, and Flower Leperds. Hi to my college mates Ed Gein’s Car.
