v.a. Go Ahead Make My Day – Smashing Odds Ness 2 LP

As can be deduced from the name (ignoring movies and presidents), this compilation was a) the follow-up to the Smashing Odds Ness and b) the second release on the Smashing Odds Ness label. What you can’t quite deduce is that it was also the last one. Many of the bands on this 1989 compilation play late eighties thrash, with the mighty Bastard and the stenchy Asbestos definitely delivering the heaviest stuff. F.V.K., DONDON, Sic and Idora are among better known and more prolific bands on the comp, with Complete, Sicilian Blood and Sweats having fewer releases to their names.

And I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers…

v.a. Enjoy Your Youth By This Hardcore Sampler

The biggest names on this compilation are probably the Fearless Vampire Killers, SIC and Don Don. All the other bands here only ever released tapes, 7″es, compilation tracks or splits (Mad Conflux, Scum Bag, Vulgarity Kids, Oil Shock, Disclaim, Bad Smells, Discust Boys, Final Count, Jelly Beans, Crück, Mino-5). Except for Scum Bag (Oi!-ish funny punk) all these bands play typical late eighties, US-influenced thrash with the typical japanese twist. Crück are definitely my favorites here, with great, noisy high speed thrashers like “Smash Your Friends”!

This Sampler Contains 14 Bands 24 Songs

SIC – The Jungle Hop Years 7″

SIC may have sounded like one of the typical late eighties thrash bands influenced by US youth crew hardcore, less typical were the american band members. They never released a full-length LP of their own, but a shit load of tapes, e.p.’s, split-releases and most of all compilation tracks. This 7″ is a (pretty cheaply made) bootleg of their split LP “Throbbing Of The Needy” with Roserose, and it’s chock-full of lo-fi stomping, thrashing and blastbeating goodness.

Must’ve had a good time during the jungle hop years…
