ABNORMAL - FINANCIAL DISASTERS DEMO
Abnormal - 'Financial Disasters' Demo Tape 7"Dublin, 1984, DIY, Tape
Thanks a million to Pat (drummer) for sending on this four track demo of the mighty Abnormal. These four tracks of uptempo punk rock were recorded in September 1984 and released as a demo tape, the song 'Tribal War' is a stand out track and I guess quite topical for the time considering what I know about the punk scene in Ireland in the early 80's. I love unearthing stuff like this, that is what the blog is all about. Keep on sending stuff on to me people :)

TINOPENERS - SET ME FREE/I'M NOT YOUR TYPE 7"
Tinopeners - Set Me Free bw I'm Not Your Type 7"Belfast, 1979, Logo Records, 7inch
Anyone even vaguely familiar with Northern Irish power pop and pop punk from the late 70's is probably already familiar with 'Set Me Free' which is an absolute gem. The b-side is not to be overlooked either. This band apparently recorded another 7" that was never released, fucking tragedy really. Also this has recently been reissued on Sing Sing Records.
VARIOUS - RAISINS & VOMIT - FOUR BANDS FROM DUBLIN VOL. 2
Raisins & Vomit - Four Bands From Dublin Volume 2.Dublin, 1994, Ratfish Records, 7inch
Four songs in all here, I'm sure at least two would suit those who may frequent this page. The criminally amazing Pincher Martin being the real stand out track alongside Female Hercules stomper 'Firepower'. Must get more Female Hercules stuff up on the blog in time, as long as it don't piss no-one off! Out of the other two bands featured Cruiser and The Knocking Shop, the latter whose track, 'Before Again' being the stronger of the two.

BREAKFALL - WORDS SO SOFTLY SPOKEN MCD
Breakfall - Words So Softly Spoken MCDNorthern 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
