Agrestix - random tracks

the Agrestix Quad Cities, Iowa - '06?-'11ish This band has always (to me) sounded, for the most part, too soft and poppy recorded - but were always fuckin great live! They are at the tail end of the scope of this "blog" but they played my house and milwaukee a few times and it was always enjoyable and we all had good times. One of em even lived at the Outhouse for stint. they sorta dissolved after the full length came out, but occasionally reformed for a gig.

im lazy and not putting in dates and info, heres some of the recordings i liked best.

Subversives - Rarities - Comp, Tracks & EPs

the Subverives
Minneapolis MN - '95?-'02/'03?

Hard to find tracks by Minneapolis' mid 90's to early 00's skunk band, the Subversives.
  They were one of the best of the mid-late 90's American streetpunk bands, blending UK82 & streetpunk aggression with oi music, catchy melodies and huge choruses. Sometimes thought of as America's answer to Oxymoron, but totally unique in their own right.

1. Be A Subvert  0:00
2. I Don't Wanna Know  2:21

"Tomorrow Belongs To No One" 12" EP 1996

4. Police Harassment  9:01
5. Urban Crisis  11:03
6. I Don't Wanna Know  13:30
7. Lab Rat  16:56

Discocks - "Voice of Youth" ep & "Long Live Oi!" LP

the Discocks
japan - '9x?-'0x?

Everyone knows the Discocks - infectious, fun, high energy, oi-influenced pogo punk from Japan. You know how to click round on the internet, like you even need this post... but for the sad ones out there who never knew the joys of the Discocks or 90's japanese streetunk, you are in for a treat. If you don't like it then you're a soulless miserable fuck, and you don't appreciate butchered engrish oi funtime. They broke up i the early '00s and some members went on to form the Avoided (which is the name of a well established [in our region] Milwaukee hc-punk band at the time... we all got a little laugh out of that). Anyways, Discocks came back with the same name in the mid '00s, having turned into a uk82-esque/80s hc punk style outfit, which is a whole different ballgame...

"Voice of Youth" '94 ep - this ain't right but listen to it anyways

"Long Live Oi!" '97 LP - this and Oxymoron's material were some of the fucking BEST in this vein, from the 90's- stupid vocals/lyrics or not!

the Posers - "Worse Than Nothing" ep

the Posers
canadia - '97?-'99

this ep fetures an Effigies (chicago's first "skinhead band") cover, "Bodybag".

"Worse Than Nothing" '98 ep
