FAG ENABLERZ - S/T TAPE

Fag Enablerz - S/T Tape

Dublin, 09, DIY, Tape

One of my favourite releases of the past couple of years. Fag Enablerz influences (according to myspace anyway).."The wet meaty thud of thigh against ass...the fresh moist acidity of girl juice on tongue...the titillating rasp of stubble against stubble...the fragrant bleachy pong of fresh cum...the merest enticing whiff of shit...the breathless grunt of cunt on cunt...the frenzied orgy of raging cocks...". Sound wise think the Feederz, Dead Kennedys, Dayglo Abortions and more of that ilk, they even have members named 'Violent Bumfuck' & 'Geoff Goldblum'. Amazing stuff, thanks for Goldblum himself for passing it on

THE BACKHANDERS - DRINKING THE PROFITS EP

The Backhanders - Drinking The Profits EP

Dublin, Mid 00's, DIY, CD

Very short lived band from about 4 or 5 years ago here. Excellent mid paced punk with tunes a plenty. Included here also is another version of 'The Last Supper' 'piano version!'. Thanks to Johnny for sending this on.

DAGDA / SCATHA - SPLIT 7"

Dagda/Scatha - Split 7"

Ireland/Scotland, 2002, Crime Scene, 7"

Thought I already had this uploaded but I guess not. Another classic 'And So I Rise' from the Dagda on this split with Scatha. One song a piece, the Dagda one really is special, their usual brand of epic crust with some amazing lead guitar towards the end. Scatha is more mid paced crust but still cracking.

PUGET SOUND - HANSEL AND REGRETEL 7"

Puget Sound - Hansel and Regretel 7"

Dublin, Late 90's, Rise Above, 7"

Another 7" that has been sorely missed thus far by the blog. This 7" still sounds as fresh and unique to me as it did when I first heard it almost ten years ago! Ska Punk but with a hell of a lot more going on musically than your usual garb. Also I have managed to get a DAT tape of other early Puget recordings, if anyone has anyway of getting DAT to cd/mp3 please get in touch. In regards this rip, I thought the slight hiss might be due to how many times I played this record, unfortunately it was a problem with the pressing in general so I am reliably informed, makes it sound even better in my eyes.

BLACK BELT JONES - LIVE IN STYLE 7"

Black Belt Jones - Live In Style 7"

Dublin, Late 90's, Greyslate, 7"

Possibly the pinnacle of Irish Pop-Punk. Simple. (Unfortunately no matter how many copies of this I got a lend of, the 7" still skips on the beginning of 'Walk Away' if anyone has a clean mp3 of this get in touch asap.)

JACKBEAST - S/T 10"

Jackbeast - S/T 10"

Dublin, Late 90's, Greyslate, 10"

If you don't know who Jackbeast are you mustn't be one of the gangs of people who've asked when I'm gonna upload this gem. So here it is, download it, and you too will see why Jackbeast are still one of the most popular underground Irish acts of the past 15 years.

THE DAGDA - THREEFOLD LP

The Dagda - Threefold

Belfast/Drogheda/Dublin, 2001, Control/Enslaved, CD/LP

Hugely popular epic crust band the Dagda here, really do miss this lot, their gigs always were a crushing wall of heft mixed in with a dark simmering 'gonna smash you in the face soon' kinda vibe.

LOOSE NUT - DEMO 2009

Loose Nut - Demo 2009

Dublin, 2009, DIY

Already available elsewhere online but thought it should be upped here also. Loose Nut are one of my favourite new bands of 2009. Brilliant, brooding, and of course with a massive smack of 'My War' era Black Flag.
