spotted: Absolution 1988 demo

An absolute beauty. NY's Absolution is a historic HC band. The complexity and originality of their songs were ahead of most of the other bands at the end of the 80s - at the height of NYHC.

So here is their 1988 Demo, spotted on this blog:

Dropkick Murphy's bar in Boston

Dropkick Murphy’s’ member re-opens historic Boston bar.

Considered by many as the "Birthplace of Red Sox Nation" and "America's 1st Sports-Bar and Baseball Museum", McGreevy's 3rd Base Saloon is back after its disappearance from the Boston scene in 1920.

A die-hard Sox fan, Casey and the Dropkick Murphys have resurrected "McGreevy's 3rd Base Saloon" in the heart of the city of Boston. Featuring an exact replica of McGreevy's original barroom it features actual photographs and baseball treasures that hung on the walls of the original watering hole.

It’s all at: 911 Boylston St in Boston

Death and Taxes

Death and Taxes (new band from Jeff Bruisers) won the Portsmouth Spotlight "Best Rock Band" award.

Occupied Territory demo

Here's Occupied Territory's demo from 1987. I think it was called "A start".

Does anybody know what happened to the OC members? Did they go into other NYHC bands?

It's from 1995. Check it out.

Social Distortion and 2009

Social Distortion will have a high-output 2009. The band plans the release of an acoustic album (mainly of older songs), a brand new album and a new solo album from band member Ness.

spotted: newsy updates (Discipline, Madball,...)

Dutch streetrock'n'roll band Discipline will next month release a double album called "Old Pride, New Glory" on I Scream records. It will have 12 new tracks and a bonus cd with 18 cover songs from bands that inspire(d) Discipline.

Drummer Riggs is leaving NYHC band Madball. He will be replaced by Mackie Jason, who played in CroMags amongst others.

The Aids is a new punk/Oi band from the UK and are in the studio for their debut release.

Antipati is a new, melodic punk/Oi band from Sweden and have just released their album "On repeat".

spotted: Trip 6 demo

Spotted the Trip 6 demo for download on http://soundandfuryhardcore.blogspot.com/

T6 was fronted by Tommy Rat and Tommy - I think - never gets the respect he is due for his long-standing efforts in the HC scene. He fronted Warzone back in the early 80s when Raybeez was the drummer. He also created Rejuvenate.
