"subcultures guide to the galaxy - streetpunk" video

Subcultures guide to the galaxy with your host Herb Herbert.

 Ok i am being lazy

sure... what he said. i guess. watch this if you're bored as all fuck... personally i'd never trust a Herbert.

Onward To Mayhem - "Onward To Mayhem" lp

Onward To Mayhem
Minneapolis MN - '98?-'00?

I have brushed shoulders with some members of this band so I should probably just contact one of them. Either way, this is all we got besides their ep "Six Acts in the Art of Social Defiance" and apparently some hard to find tape. They delivered politically & socially conscious streetpunk with alot of fight club samples. I used to have this on cd and when i was 19 I gave it to a young punk - and gave my endless struggle cd to his other young punk friend. Now one's a reborn christian and one's a crusty/grindcore kid who also loves reggae and weed. I'm a salty, older alcoholic punk who likes more oi than most skinheads, who's writing a blog. You be the judge.

This is a youtube playlist of (most) of their self-titled '99 album. It will be completed in the (distant) future.

the Bristles - "Pogo Til You Puke" ep

the Bristles
NJ - '93?-'99?

Another 7" I used to have, and a band that often gets overlooked (especially by me, cuz I always scoff and think "they're no Bristles from Sweden" - the 80s pseudo-uk82 swedish hardcore band - which is a completely fucking stupid  and unfair comparison. so listen to both. Also theres 'Bristle', and 'Bristles DC', and probably a ton of others that i won't give a fair shake.). This was the Bristles 2nd release, and it was on Milwaukee's own Beer City Records (still around... alotta material. gold mine of random 90's and early '00s music + then some). This band always seemed like they approx. 1 million records out, and as of just checking now it looks like i wasn't far off - 10 releases and too many comp. appearances - lot for a seemingly "forgotten" band. They had a good snotty NJ pogo thing goin on most of the time. Nice change of pace from a lot of the screechy Casualties/AGT/Unseen clones to come later.
