Grimple / Logical Nonsense 12"

Split 12" from Grimple and Logical Nonsense. To anyone that doesn't know Grimple, they started out as a street punk band back in 1990 in New Mexico which eventually drifted to crust. Singer is somewhat similar to Antischism's, being high pitch belted vocals. Logical Nonsense is also from New Mexico. They started out in 1989 and have a crust and thrash sound with deep shouted vocals. Standout songs are "Darker Shade of Grey" on the Grimple side and "Before the Act" on the Logical Nonsense side.

Chumbawamba - Common Ground

Chumbawamba is a band from the UK which, despite it's most recent and popular music, used to be a great anarcho band. This is one of my favorite albums by them. Recording isn't all that great, but musically it is a wonderful bit. It has a typical anarcho feel, with a lot more melodic and singing parts thrown in. Vocals are male female dual vocals shouted as opposed to scream. Chumbawamba has gotten a lot of shit for their "selling out" by signing to large labels (one of which they were in a comp against a few years earlier) and completely changing their style to dancy poppy electronic music. But no matter what way it's look at, they made some sick music before the big change. Common Ground was released as a benefit to help striking miners in 1984. There is only two actual songs on this, plus an intermission(?), so it's a quick but good listen.

Sacrilege - Behind the Realms of Madness

Sacrilege is a metallic punk band from England. Played relatively few shows, but considered an extremely important band and pioneers in Dbeat, thrash, metal etc. The guitarist played in Varukers for a while, but left to form this. This particular album is one of their best, if not the best. It was the first full length LP they released. Six songs of fast music with heavy solos and reverbed vocals, very unique sound. Some of their later albums got real metally and slow, and vocals were more sung than shouted; it actually sounds like a different band altogether. Best songs would be "Lifeline" and "a Violation of Something Sacred".
