THE BLOODY MUTANTS - S/T 7" + 8 UNRELEASED TRACKS!

The Bloody Mutants - Self Titled 7" + 8 unreleased tracks!
Wicklow, 1999, No Pride Records, 7"

Ah a true blast from the past for myself here. Saw these guys only once and I think that was with Menace or Dogshit Sandwich around 2000. Straight up fast fun punk fuckin rock from these Wicklow boys. There is 6 tracks on the 7" and thanks a million to Alan for sending on the 8 unreleased tracks for everyones enjoyment, he also did an excellent job on EQ'n the tracks :)

THE DIRGE - THE PURSUIT OF SUICIDE EP

The Dirge - The Pursuit Of Suicide EP
Dublin, 2011, DIY, Download

Apologies to The Dirge lads for not getting this up sooner, but alas it is finally here. The Dirge are a young Dublin band playing a mix of hardcore and skacore. Four tracks on this EP, one being a Choking Victim cover, gives you an idea of the direction this band are heading towards, however to me the stand out track is Birth, Waste, Death which is a really well structured slowed down hardcore tune that reminds me of Moss Icon or Born Against. I dunno if that's what they were planning on but its comes of fucking great. I have only seen these guys once and am looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
