Here’s the 1st distro update we have for 2008! I’m very sorry it took a while to post this list , been busy with various shit nowadays, don’t bother asking what the hell I’m busy with as I ain’t going to tell haha!! Moving forward most of the titles we have here are quite minimal in quantity (mostly 3-4 copies) thus there’s no assurance that once you requested for that stuff to be reserve your going to get it right away, as this would be in a first come first serve basis, would appreciate if you can at least cover a partial payment to ensure that you’ll have that title set aside asap. That’s all for now, nothing much to say here so I’ll go ahead and do some errands!! Spread the Love!!
Cheers and beers,
EMMAN aka THE MOTHERFUCKER IN CHARGE

MANIFESTO JUKEBOX "Strain" [Old Skool Kids]
Finnish four-piece Manifesto Jukebox unleashes their third album ’Strain’. Showcasing their imaginative approach to contemporary punk/hardcore, Manifesto Jukebox are obviously as interested in technique and delivery as their lyrics which deal in alienation, desperation, paranoia with an anti-statist angle. There’s an obvious care and attention to detail, eschewing any headlong manic dashes for subtle and clever use of bass lines and guitar, with shards of sparky riffs colliding with regularly changing pace and rhythms that all requires more than an obligatory listen. Apparently recorded and mixed in 12 days, Manifesto Jukebox had obviously done their homework to create this kind of engaging guitar led rock punk that brings to mind the mid period work of Husker Du. A refreshing take on the medium that is far from tedium. -Punk & Oi in the UK

"Out of the barren wastelands of the late-80s/ early-90s, came PLEASANT VALLEY CHILDREN, unique both sonically and lyrically, a warped collision between early BLACK FLAG, early RUDIMENTARY PENI, and vintage BORN AGAINST. Included are some great critical reflections on the world around us, which are just as relevant now, as they were then. You’ve got one chance, and one chance only, to own everything this band ever did, or live in regret for eternity." Andy Shocker, PUNK SHOCKER FANZINE, briefly out of retirement. - includes: ’Fuck Kill Destroy’ LP, ’What the World Needs Now’ EP,

A bone crushing onslaught of raging thrash meets moody crust marks this re-mixed and remastered collection of early works from Milwaukee’s PROTESTANT. Include are their songs form their LP, their split 7" with RHINO CHARGE and their 2005 demo CD-R. While PROTESTANT plays what is easily categorized as what is now being called "Neo Crust," their style is much less formulaic and reminds one of the mid 90’s pioneering days, when 2nd generation European crust bands like AMBUSH, ABC DIABOLO and HIATUS were first pushing the style forward. Another fine example of the renewed vigor that has energized the eastern Wisconsin scene during the last couple of years, after being declared officially dead in the late 90’s and early part of this decade.

Six Weeks is honored that the band has chosen the label to release their final testament to Giussepe; his dedication and resolve lives in all of us.

For the uninformed, SCHIFOSI are from Australia and plays broodingly dark heavy hardcore with female vocals. From the first tortured drum beat this will have you grooving and dancing whilst crying about the demise of mother earth. Totally morose lyrics completing the dark music. An excruciating aural pummeling to complement the coming apocalypse.

SEVERED HEAD OF STATE/ SCUM NOISE [Life on the Edge]
SHOS delivered a very energetic live recorded sound . The music is an onslaught of power that can be described as the inbred bastard of Detestation and His Hero Is Gone with a distorted beast on vocal duties, while Scum Noise is a legendary crazy Brazilian thrash crust unit, they also throw in a couple of covers from Driller Killer and Olho Seco.
WAR ALL THE TIME "S.E ASIA TOUR 2007" CD [Life on the edge]
All recordings so far by these all star Hardcore thrash veteran from Leeds, UK. For those not in the know , this band consist of ex members of Embittered, Sawn Off, Kito and Boxed In. The CD contains both split Ep’s with THE HORROR, WHOLE IN THE HEAD the upcoming EP on Yellow Dog and 3 unreleased - 17 tracks of total
d-beat madness taking cues from Swedish and Japanese D-beat mongers! I got the chance to be on tour with them here in the Philippines and these old English punk’s fucking slay in every gig!!
WATCH ME BURN/ SPERMBLAST [Life On the Edge ]
WATCH ME BURN from California, USA contributed 12 songs of Grindcore mixed up with bits of sludge, thrash and psychedelic ambience. I guess Avant Garde Grindcore would be the best term to describe their sound. I couldn’t get their "Sabbat" song out of my head. And their female vox Sarah really delivers the goods. SPERMBLAST from KL, Malaysia offer 12 songs of brutal Gore Grind madness.

7"VYNILS
ACTIVE MINDS / VOCO PROTESTA [Aktiva Protesta]
Two tracks of raw UK hardcore punk from ACTIVE MINDS, paired with chaotic noise crust mongers from Japan known as Voco Protesta. Musically VP reminds me a lot of another Japanese crust act, Peaceful Protest, lyrics are all sang in Esperanto language. Excellent songs on both sides.
ANY LAST WORDS S/T [Havoc]
St. Paul Minnesota the other half of the Twin Cities Hardcore scene has a long tradition of raw fast Hardcore from the days of Willful Neglect and Blind Approach. From those same St. Paul streets comes Any Last Words. High energy fast Hardcore which brings to mind recent bands like Lifes Halt and No Justice and the faster late 80’s SE bands like early Youth of Today or No For an Answer. Any Last Words have a cult following in the upper midwest but are practically unknown beyond this region. This 7" should open up the eyes of thrash fans world wide to their awesome power. The songs on this 7" are the best from their demo and some new tracks all recorded by Tim Mac and produced with his trademark crunch. (Mac recorded Damage Deposit and Holding On as well) Critical Colin who did double duty in Damage Deposit provides some great artwork on the front and back cover. Lyrically Any Last Words are a sincere and thoughtful band with current political commentary while still being incredibly pissed off at everything. ALW takes on GW Bush and his war, emo, work, fashioncore and society and still finds time to contribute the uproarious song "I wish I could skate". Critical Twin Cities Hardcore!
Sadly, Any Last Words broke up after recording another demo.
ARTORTURED/CRISIS REBIRTH [Riotous Assembly]
Hardcore-Metal with some heavy breakdowns paired with raw and harsh Grindcore.
ASSEMBLY OF GOD "SUBMISSION OBEDIENCE DENIAL" [Havoc]
Assembly of God was a hardcore punk band from Oklahoma (none of the members lived in the same city, they all met in Oklahoma city to practice). Chad from Brother Inferior sang and played guitar, with the Drummer of Burnpile and the Bassist of Subsanity. Burnpile being a fast SEHC band, Subsanity a grind band and Brother Inferior a punk/hc band you can see that there are several different musical influences coming together on this release. That said, I would liken the sound mostly to the last Brother Inferior material, which was much faster and more aggressive than the earlier more anthemic stuff. Assembly of God recorded this 7" and some comp tracks and sadly, broke up. They only played a few out of town shows, one of which was Thrash Fest 2. Chad went on to form the Levelling which took things into an even faster realm. As with all of Chad’s projects you can see that much thought was put into the lyrics. Chad has always approached issues from a very punk working man’s perspective. His no nonsense point of view makes for lyrics that hit the nail on the head every time.
AUTHORITY ABUSE / KAKISTOCRACY [self release]
Authority Abuse is about fast fucking balls out old school hardcore thrash punk? Less thrashy though and more old-school hardcore.
Kakistocracy is harsh crusty hardcore that reminds me of the very early Neurosis, Christ On Parade and Nausea. Really cool!
BROTHER INFERIOR/NONE OF THE ABOVE SPLIT 7" EP [Havoc]
Anyone who knows me is aware that I don’t really care for split records (despite the fact Destroy was on two) but this split was sort of a natural. Tulsa Oklahoma has produced two excellent hardcore punk bands in the last 20 years and here they are on one record. None of the Above were one of my favorite bands in the 80’s powerful hardcore that was very catchy and lyrics any working class punk kid could relate to first hand. The songs here show a more matured NOTA who have mellowed somewhat but still are very catchy. NOTA put out an LP on Rabid Cat around ’84 that is a hardcore classic. There was also the Moscow 7" and Toy Soldiers 7" from the same time period. NOTA’s reunion period saw the release of this 7" as well as the HellHole EP and Give ’Em Enough Dope CD, which includes a killer live set. Prank Records also re issued the Live at the Crystal Pistol cassette on vinyl NOTA have since broken up again. It’s most unfortunate the the 1985 LP and both original 7"s are still out of print due to contractual reasons. NOTA is one of the very best bands of the 80’s and I will put cash money on the table any day to re issue these classic gems. Until then, dub or download the 1985 LP if you can, crucial!
Brother Inferior caught my attention with their Blasphemy and Treason and Bound and Gagged EP’s both on their own Sensual Underground Ministries label. Brother Inferior play hardcore punk which is powerful and melodic reminding me of old Youth Brigade and other classic Cali bands of the early 80’s. I hate to categorize them though because their sound is their own and you can hear the thrash and street punk influences present in their music as well. Brother Inferior released their own LP on Sensual Underground and it has sold very well. Brother Inferior toured Europe in 1999 and released a tour 7" as well as a split 7" with Whorehouse of Representatives and the outstanding "Six More Reasons" 7". Brother Inferior broke up in 2000. Chad sang and and played guitar in Assembly of God and is now in the Leveling.
BURNING THE PROSPECT / SILENCE (Acclaim)
These new songs of Poland’s SILENCE may be called their best stuff. We think that they are the most melodious and have an emotional element in the great bands under the influenced of a lot of Tragedy/From Ashes Rise around the world (but it is a range which we know). And a crushing rhythm that raises it further is also powerful. The vocalist is powerful too, and the lyrics have treated a political theme of "standardization of earth and mass". Two songs in all. Amazing. While Britain’s BURNING THE PROSPECT that has split up already unfortunately collects three songs recorded by Bri Doom at the Bradford’s autonomous space "1 in 12 club". They are dark and heavy crust hardcore-punk with a harsh Swedish sound, and the Bri’s work also fit in splendidly and is finished in the very ferocious sound. "Arise! a new age is upon us"
CHAROGNEXSTONE [emergence]
Yeah!! This is the first EP of this glorious local heros! CHAROGNE STONE is a band from La Machine (France) and play crazy and fast crustcore with powerviolence touch! Imagine SPAZZ, the old NAPALM DEATH, a punk version of BRUTAL TRUTH, MONSTER X, PHOBIA... You can’t stop rock’n’roll baby!
CLUSTERBOMBUNIT "AND THE DIRTY LITTLE WEAPONS" 7’ [Havoc]
From Stuttgart, Germany, Clusterbombunit plays brutal Dis-core which reminds me a lot of Discharge’s Why? 12" with maybe more added crunch and brutality. The lyrics are bleak and desperate to match the muisc, dealing with the insanity of war and oppression. CBU have a 7" and 10" on Thought Crime Records from Berlin and a long out of print split flexi with Resist, a split 7" with Disclose, a US tour ep and a split 7" with RAGG. They have done European and US tours. This 7" was recorded in 1997 for Pushead’s label and finally saw the light of day on Havoc. CBU is one of my absolute favorite bands of the 90’s and probably the best band I saw live in Europe on tour in 1999 (well, tied with DS 13). CBU released a new LP on Tribal War Asia in the summer of 2001, and the Last Band Standing EP in 2003. Clusterbombunit is one of those bands that no one is on the fence about. Those who like this band are really into them, the intensity, power and brutality of it all. Everyone else, just doesn’t get it. If you can dub or download the 10"especially, check it out.SOLD OUT!!!
CODE 13 "DOOMED SOCIETY" 7’ [Havoc]
After Destroy broke up I hooked up with Tattoo Shane and Trevor Trend and began jamming with a series of Drummers. We put up an ad at Extreme Noise and attracted Criminal Shane on Drums. Code 13 was an attempt on my part to move past the grind and metal influence on Destroy back to a more old school hardcore sound. Still, Code 13 is not a retro-80’s band by any respect, although the 80’s influence is there, many of our songs clock in at speeds undreamed of in ’82. Code 13’s music is hard for me to describe because we mix several different styles. I’m not saying we’re particularly original or groundbreaking, but our music was far from generic as well. Simply put, we didn’t all listen to just one style of music so our playing wasn’t rigidly influenced by one style either. We mixed sing-a-long 80’s hardcore like early 7 Seconds and Youth Brigade with fast-core like Drop Dead and a touch of early DRI, Straight Edge Hardcore, Swedish HC/ Japanese Thrash, 80’s Anarcho-punk and some grind/Powerviolence for a fast and powerful punk sound. Lyrically I’d have to say the individual versus society and issues of social control predominate. The name Code 13 comes from the police radio code for "officer down" and as you can guess our lyrics were heavily anti-police and authority. For a while four out of five of our shows were broken up by the man, but hardcore survives on the underground and so did we. At the time I felt like the hardcore/punk scene was too complacent and needed some really radical thrashing punk to bring band the anger and energy. I went out of my way to write radical, aggressive lyrics to go with the music. We stirred up no small controvery, posing with automatic weapons and singing about shooting cops. One anarchist squat in Paris actually wouldn’t let us play because we were "too militant" I knew we were doing something right then.SOLD OUT!!!
CODE 13 "THEY MADE A WASTELAND AND CALLED IT PEACE" 7 [Havoc]
Coming hot on the heels of the Doomed Society EP They Made a Wasteland is sort of a State of the Scene Address from the hardcore underground. A breathless report from the front as hardcore experienced a massive explosion of popularity and renewed interest as well as an assault of commercialism and regressive attitudes. Larger political issues to a back seat to confronting poseurs, sell-outs and religious extremists trying to corrupt the true spirit of hardcore. The line-up is the same as the first 7" although we had two different second guitar players around this time neither stuck with us. Musically very similar to the first 7" fast paced straight ahead hardcore with a variety of influences. Hardcore for the Kids and Shady Acres are downright melodic in the old California 80’s style while Armed to the Teeth is total grindcore and the rest are punk thrashers.SOLD OUT!!!
DAMAGE DEPOSIT "DO DAMAGE" 7’ [Havoc]
Midwest DIY hardcore, with members of Code 13, Any Last Words, Sweet Jap, Encroach, Miles Ahead and lots other bands you’ve never heard. Damage Deposit plays critical thrash with sick breakdowns. Frequently compared to DYS mixed with contemporary bands like Tear It Up and Shark Attack. Lyrically this record takes on issues in the contemporary scene, political corruption and the destruction of the environment.
DAMAGE DEPOSIT "STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM" 7’ [Havoc]
Second ep from these Twin Cities new Hardcore insurgents. 8 tracks of positively charged aggressive Hardcore thrash. Musically similar to bands like Tear It Up, No Time Left, Infest, or Shark Attack. Lyrics deal with political corruption, all ages shows, dancefloor injustice, and the erosion of the rights of the individual in the face of corporate globalization. Features extremely sick artwork by Critical Colin and Bill Hauser.
Damage Deposit toured in the summer of 2004, played farwell shows in Winnipeg and Minneapolis and split up. Critical Colin now plays drums in Formaldehyde Junkies, Nic Attack is in Listen Up, and Ben Crew has a new project The Dive Bomb Honey and is still doing 1-2 Go Crew and is playing hardcore again in In Defence.
DISCHANGE/ EXCREMENT OF WAR [Finn]
Having a band with Dis- in the name is clear what you should expect. DISCHANGE’s side is as Discharge as it can get .D-beat riffs and singing style coming straight from the old good Discharge days. Nothing more nothing less but pure Discharge d-beat. EXCREMENT OF WAR have a d-beat hardcore feeling reminding Doom. Fast rhythms, shouting gruff vocals and Stick (Doom, Extreme Noise Terror etc) beats the drums the way he knows. Fuckin Ace!
DOWN TO AGONY "Requiem Por un Mundo Enferno" [Acclaim]
"The brand new 4 songs 7" from the Spanish powerful & crushing Neo-Crust hardcore-punk band who recorded after the first LP "No-Vida". This band is a sound that mixed His Hero Is Gone, Tragedy and Fear Is The Path To The Darkside but they’ve their own "darkness". And, the vocalist who does scream in tragic voice expresses misery and death of ourselves invented by this sick world. But in their words, there’s a conviction to the reality of our own desires to the last. That is, this one is a just "Requiem por un mundo enfermo (Requiem for a sick world)" as told by the record’s title. We (A)cclaim Collective didn’t know this band at all until there’s contact from them. But we felt that our and their standpoint and purpose were the same, so we decided to participate in this co-release. because they have said like this?"we still live, we still burn, we still love". Great artwork. "
KAAOS "NUKKE" 7’ [Havoc]
Finland had one of the best hardcore scene’s in the world in 80’s. Taking their inspiration from UK bands like Discharge, Disorder and Chaos UK the Finnish band produced a pretty unique and aggressive style of hardcore. Kaaos was one of the best bands from this period. They released a split 7" with the Cadgers, an LP, a 7" and a split LP with Terveet Kadet. Hailing from Tampere (Finland’s second largest city) Kaaos included members of Riistetyt, the Bastards, Varaus, Protesti, Kuolleet Kukat, and Kohu-63. Singer Jakke is still going strong in Positive Negative. This 7" was recorded in 1985 and originally released by Fight Records of Tampere, Finland in the early 90’s. Havoc has licensed it for international release as part of an ongoing collaboration with Fight Records to re-release unheard classic Finnish hardcore.SOLD OUT!!!
KAKISTOCRACY "And so you spill your Childrens Blood" [Arson]
Kakistocracy are back at it again. This time blasting out six, count ’em six, blasts of anarcho-punk/hardcore.
LACERATED "S/T" [self release]
4 tracks of Swedish hardcore sort of like Accursed. This one is a rager!
LAST MINUTE/MORTAL COMBAT [Thrash Steady Syndicate]
LAST MINUTE ,Socially aware female fronted furious old school hardcore from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hard hitting and undoubtly vehement spitting in the face of sexual/social crisis. MORTAL COMBAT, Blazing manic hardcore thrash at breakneck hyper speed akin to Charles Bronson from Yogjakarta, Indonesia. Fuckin crazy in their live sets, this recording will floor you as much as it did us!!!
MEMENTO MORI "S/T" [Agipunk]
Ex-Confusione, fast and furious Torino HC, very well played and structured. Outstanding lyrics as well.
MENTALLY PARASITES/TESTIMONY [Epidemie]
Awesome HC-grind from Mentally Parasites, precision HC thrash from TESTIMONY.
MOB 47 "1984 EP (KARNVAPEN ATTACK)" 7’ [Havoc]
At long last an official re issue of this most classic Swedish hardcore 7". Mob 47 took the anger and intensity of early 80’s Swedish hardcore and injected it with the speed and high energy of American Thrash. The result is some of the most powerful hardcore of the early 1980s. Recorded in 1984 these 8 tracks, one of which appeared on the PEACE comp, sent a shockwave through the world of hardcore. Powerful, fast and angry hardcore from some amped up young Swedes. This record has been bootlegged and re issued several times in different forms, but it’s my intention to re produce the record as close to the way it dropped back in the 80’s. The packaging is almost the same as the original except we’ve added a bunch of never before seen photos on the back of the insert.
Mob 47’s lyrics are the product of the cold war era and the shadow of nuclear war that hung over the 80’s. While the cold war might be over, the cry for social change and protest against oppression of songs like "Ingen Framtid" (without freedom) and "Polisstat" (Police State) ring just as true today. And we can’t disagree with the sentiments of a song like "Det Är Upp Till Oss" (It’s up to us). Perhaps these are sentiments borne of youthful idealism, but the 20 plus years since this records release shows that there is no shortage of war and injustice in the world to provoke outrage. This record has been highly influential in the world of hardcore from crust, to grind to thrash.
Mob 47 have been playing gigs again and we hope to bring them to the USA to play some time in the future. Also looking into releasing more Mob 47 material soon, their new tracks rip just as hard as the classics. You can check out Mob 47’s website at http://www.mob47.se for more up to date info. I’m not too crazy about Myspace, but there are some new tracks and videos posted on there as well.
Incidentally, this is the 47th 7" release on Havoc.SOLD OUT!!!
MODERAT LIKVIDATION "MARIONETT I KEDJOR" 7’ [Havoc]
Important notice: We screwed up the catalog numbers on the Moderat Likvidation 7"s-The tracks for NITAD wound up on Marionett I Kedjor and the Marionett I Kedjor tracks are on the Nitad ep. The songs and track order are correct, just that the center labels don’t match the music. We think it would cause more confusion to switch the vinyl since the labels don’t match, so if you order this EP you actually get the Nitad tracks. We assumed most people are ordering all three so if you like you can swap the vinyl yourself.
Originally recorded and released as a demo tape in 1983 these songs have been re mastered from the original tapes. More original 1983 raw Swedish hardcore punk from the original ragers. This was a lot of material to fit onto a 7", but still sounds quite good considering it’s source.SOLD OUT!!!
MODERAT LIKVIDATION "NITAD" 7’ [Havoc]
Important notice: We screwed up the catalog numbers on the Moderat Likvidation 7"s-The tracks for NITAD wound up on Marionett I Kedjor and the Marionett I Kedjor tracks are on the Nitad ep. The songs and track order are correct, just that the center labels don’t match the music. We think it would cause more confusion to switch the vinyl since the labels don’t match, so if you order this EP you actually get the Marionett I Kedjor tracks. We assumed most people are ordering all three so if you like you can swap the vinyl yourself.
Originally released by the band in 1983, this is a classic of early 80’s Swedish Hardcore Punk. Like their contemporaries Anti Cimex and Shitlickers, Moderat Likvidation took the sound of bands like Discharge, Disorder and Chaos UK to the complete next level with a faster, more aggressive attack. Often imitated, this is the original in your face sound of 1980s Swedish raw punks!SOLD OUT!!!
MODERAT LIKVIDATION "KOTTAHUVE" 7’ [Havoc]
Recorded in 1983 by the Swedish Public Service Radio, this was originally released as a cassette in the 80’s. More raw, fast and powerful Swedish punk all remastered from the original master tapes.SOLD OUT!!!
MURDERERS "S/T" 7’ [Havoc]
Totally chaotic Punk/HC in the Disorder, Bad Posture tradition. At the heart of the Murderers is the legendary Bob Murderer who has kept versions of this band going since the early 80’s. One incarnation backed GG Allin for a while. Bob also played in the Vampire Lesbos and many other bands in the 80’s. Moving to Minnesota Bob got a new line up together and recorded these songs, some new, some from the mid 80’s. Totally irreverent drunk drugged chaos punk with a ton of energy and power. This 7" is a blast of pure chaos. The Murderers lineup changed several times. Sid From Misery took over on drums when Mitch Useless left to play in Servitude and later Code 13. The Murderers sound changed somewhat later on. Their subsequent recordings sounded more like the US Bombs or Sex Pistols. But this 7" is pure, hate filled hardcore punk. The Murderers released a split 12" picture disk with the Jerkoffs on Beer City in 1999. They played a final show and broke up in 2000. Rumors continue about a reunion. Dennis of the Murderers is now in A Bomb Nation with Trevor of Code 13. SOLD OUT!!!
NO REASON VOICES ’a Better place’ EP [Rudeboi]
Those guys from Lyon (in France) join the battalion of rock’n’roll eternal return. They take their influences from bands like rancid or nirvana for their powerful sounds. Ex-’Les partisans’ are in this band, but the comparison stopped there! It’s pure punk, in clash veins, soft and amazing…
OFFICIAL RELOUS ’c’est pas nous qu’on le dit’ EP [Rudeboi]
Side project for some friends, which all have their own band or label, this band is compose by people like Fred from Skarface, Corentin from ’les bannis’, Vince from ’traquenard’, Julian from ’ethylic system’ and me!:) (ok, we’re well-known only in France:)) this is a classic streetpunk/oi!, sometimes fast, sometimes mid-tempo, and a cover from Beastie boys (in french lyrics) as a bonus!
