CLIKITAT IKATOWI full length from 1995--

This was released on Gravity Records in 1995.  The drummer, Mario R., went on to play with Dan O. (NO FOR AN ANSWER, SPEAK 714 & CARRY NATION) in 411 and then more recently, OFF! (with Keith Morris of the CIRCLE JERKS & BLACK FLAG). 
The drums stand out the most on this record, and that's because Mario Rublaca is a bad ass drummer.  Someone said he was in HOT SNAKES, with guys from ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, is that true???

EMPATHY "Under The Lost Smile" // CURRENT "Coliseum" // DRIFT AGAIN 7" ~1990's Hardcore At Its Best

Remember those days. Size XXL FALLING FORWARD shirts, Krishna choker beads, fanzines bound with yarn, vegan brownies, and back packs in the pit...Ahhh, the lost days of original hardcore. Cute hardcore chicks with barretts in their hair, bleach blond bowl cuts (on the guys!), and endless ideas screamed with naive wide eyes! Where is everyone?

SAMIAM "Don't Break Me'' Live in Philly 9-25-93 [With Lyrics]




"Sitting in the corner 

 Don't know what to think 

 I can't speak 

 I sink a little deeper with every drink 

 I try to sleep
I shut my eyes 


 Like a leaky faucet fear floods the room 

 The one that drips away 

 Patiently by day 

 It was either lost or it was stolen but
It's been missing for too long 


 I woke up one morning 

 I couldn't see the sunrise 

 I can't recall

The exact moment now 


but
It began some time ago 


 And it makes me wonder 

after all I've done 

 What have I got to show? 

What have I got to show
What have I got to show" 


 I'm aggravated
I'm what you created 


 Now don't break me"

STRIFE "One Truth" A Classic Hardcore Record!!

Here we have for your listening pleasure, "One Truth" the instantly classic record put out by STRIFE in 1993 or '94. Man, I can totally remember ordering this via snail-mail (c'mon, there was no online shopping, Ebay, Amazon, etc back then. I put about $10 cash in an envelope, sent it to Victory Records in Chicago, and waited patiently for the record to arrive. Back then, mail order was 'hit-or-miss.' Not that there was a good chance of getting ripped off (but that DID happen fat too often, unfortunately), but more like having your records, 'zines, books, sweat shirts, etc, taking weeks or even months or more to arrive on your door step. Victory was a pretty big & busy company by this point. With the releases of STRIFE, SNAPCASE, & EARTH CRISIS records, Tony Victory was on top of the metallic, straightedge, vegan, scene. Anyways, about "One Truth." I came home from work one night around 1:00a.m. and saw a package from Victory, and I knew it the new STRIFE record and maybe the WORLD'S COLLIDE 7" and some other gems. Ran up three flights of stairs post haste, and carefully laid the record on the turntable. The record itself was on an awesome looking swirly colored vinyl, really thick with a great smell. (I always smell my new records and their sleeves! Does this make me a weirdo? Nah, I just wanna use all my senses when buying new shit. The sleeve itself was a gatefold, with sweet looking, hi-quality artwork, and most certainly very glossy & professional looking. But the music: WOW! I was fuckin' blown away & instantly in love with these kids. I think up to this point I owned the "My Fire Burns On" 7" from them, as well as a rare, limited run of the "Mandel Can Suck It" record. Nice. I still love me some STRIFE!! The new record is the tits, plain & simple. Finally, in 1994 I got to see them (twice) at the "A New Hope Hardcore Fest" in Madison Wisconsin. It was a great show and a great fest all around. I have so many comparable stories...
