BREAKFALL - WORDS SO SOFTLY SPOKEN MCD

Breakfall - Words So Softly Spoken MCD
Northern Ireland, 1998, Strength In An Age Of Weakness Records, CD

A rarity for Ireland, especially in the late 90's, a SXE hardcore band. Features a member of that other infamous Irish SXE band Circle Again. Well recorded and it does whip me back to the sort of hardcore I was listening to in the late 90's :) Thanks to George of the excellent xxx Irish Edge xxx blog for sending this on.

Down In The Hole Zine - Issues 1 & 2
Ireland, Nov 88' and Feb 89', DIY, Zine

Thanks to Tommy for sending me on the pdf's of this late 80's Ireland zine with a very international slant. I also love how this zine contains crosswords, you fucking never get that in zines now! "Down in the Hole was a zine done mostly by Dave and Michael from Three RRing Psychosis/Killercrust with some limited input from me from 1988/89. Focused mostly on the international HC scene of the time it had other bits and pieces including prose contributions from Smeggy Angus. #2 has a short story in Angus' Sven Hassel style.

Interviews include Ripcord, Ooperation Ivy, Larm, Stikky, So Much Hate, No Comment, 7 Minutes of nausea etc." - Tommy Trousers
