V/A - THE DIRT BEHIND THE DAYDREAM VOL. 2 TAPE
Various - The Dirt Behind The daydream Volume 2 TapeDublin, 1991, FOAD, Cassette
The elusive volume two uploaded at last and what a gem it is. A whopper of a compilation featuring songs from the following, Arnheim, Dismal Abysmals, Ciunas, SMH, Stigmatamartyr, Coitus, Paranoid Visions, Brinskill Bomb Beat and 'Sleep With The Beaver'! I have to say the Stigmatamartyr tracks really stood out for me on this one, more of that please. Thanks again to Jay for sorting this one out for me.
ARNHEIM - LOOK WHAT THE FUNNY MAN DID TAPE
MIDNITE CRUISER - RICH BITCH/STRIKER 7"
CONTORT - ENDLESS MYOPIC BASTARDS TAPE
Contort - Endless Myopic Bastards TapeDublin, 2011, Headwrecker/Distroy, Cassette
I can't really be totally objective about this as I sing in this band, so here is Agitate Zines opinion..."this is an overwhelming assault of ear molesting raw noise punk...The Japanese influence of bands like GAI and Confuse is very much apparent. The reverbed vocals..reminding me of 'Perdition' era Disorder but at the same time having a very dark and at times atmospheric feel to them".

HELLPPPP!!!
Okay so it has been a while since I have uploaded anything to the archive and also a while since I have been actively searching for new stuff to throw up. To put it quite simply I haven’t had enough time to do this properly. So basically what I am looking for is a few helpful people who want work on the archive with me. Whether its just responding to emails, taking stuff that has been sent to the blog and upping it to the blog, scanning old flyers.zines, ripping old tapes/records/cds and/or sourcing them, flyering at gigs, even someone who would be willing to give the archive a bit of a makeover. So if anyone is interested in helping in anyway (even if they are unsure how to help!) please send me on an email to diyirishhardcorepunkarchive@gmail.com

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 EPDublin, 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.

THE SWEAT - NO MORE RUNNING LP
The Sweat - No More Running LPBelfast, 1980, Double D records, LP
Not sure how exactly I ended up being ignorant of this record for years, soon as I got a rip of this I listened to it three times back to back, which is pretty good for someone with an attention span like mine. This is power pop tastic, almost seems like a concept album about a breakup or something, anyway a fucking gem.
