VA - Subterrenean Romance

This is a much-sought after release because of the limited copies. This is from the same guys who brought you the Deans December's Chemical Wedding. It include's Violent Playground's Tupperware Party, Dean's December's The Healing, Ethinc Faces' Golden Boy and Under Blue Skies' Falling (which were all re-released in the album compilation 10 of Another Kind, see the earlier post). Plus tracks from great bands like the Sake, the Vamp, Silos, Strange Days and album producer Nito Palacios (aka Integrated Circuit).

Enjoy!

I would like to apologize to my good friend and fellow blogger, Dr. Stirring Rhod for the above picture. I hastily uploaded these posts that I forgot to mention the source for the CD cover and also for the person who gave me the copy of this comp, my long time partner in crime Terrorizer. I also corrected the misspelling of the album title. (What a moron!).

Again, my sincere apologies to Dr. Stirring Rhod and Terrorizer for omitting the credits they truly deserve. It was purely unintentional.

GI and the Idiots - Fascinating World of Garbage


I've been getting a lot of requests for GI & the Idiots' debut album. I apologize for the late reply guys, but at last here it is. Fascinating World of Garbage is Philippines' hardcore pride , just like IOV's Another Destructive Century. Can't get enough of these guys really.

Enjoy!

Urban Bandits - Independence Day


I can't believe that I haven't posted this gem. This is one of the best releases of TRC. Urban Bandits came from the ashes of the band called College. When College disbanded, it spawned two great bands, Urband Bandits and Sex Militants. The latter contributed tracks to Rescue Ladders and Human Barricades compilation.

This is a must-have for any Pinoi punks out there.

Enjoy!

IOV - Another Destructive Century


What can I say about IOV that hasn't been written before? Well, I guess nothing. So here it is, a repost of their Another Destructive Century cassette-only release. Enjoy!

VA - 10 of Another Kind


This is repost of an all-Pinoi New Wave compilation. Actually, this is the major label's answer to the Subterrean Romance (see above post). But this one includes 2 songs per band as opposed to Subterrean's which only includes 1 song per band.

Outstanding tracks from Violent Playground, Deans December, Ethnic Faces and Under Blue Skies. Enjoy!

VA - Third Bombardment


This is a repost of TRC's third compilation album. I love this comp since it includes Betrayed Never Again plus superior numbers from Collision, RDA, Philippine Violators and Deceased. Enjoy!

Dean's December - Chemical Wedding


This is a repost of Dean's December's Chemical Wedding album. This is a cassette-only release and in my opinion is one of the best Pinoi new wave, post-punk bands ever. Enjoy!

Suburban Lawns - Suburban Lawns


After a two month stay in the States, my friend brought back tons of records – that was 1984. And he was kind enough to lend me some, I barely remember the records I borrowed, Agnostic Fronts’ Cause for Alarm, Killing Joke’s Revelation, Lords of the New Church’s Dance With Me single, and this one from Suburban Lawn. I have to be honest, I don’t know at the time what their music was. I just borrowed it because their name was I think cool. I remember clearly that I was so disappointed because I think they sounded “silly.” But now that I’m older and wiser (yeah right!), I kind of dig their music now that’s why I’m posting it now. This is really a cool record in retrospect – hated it then, love it now. Hearing the song “Janitor” again really brings back memories of late night taping, and hanging out with my friends.

Enjoy!

Psi Com - Psi Com


Psi Com is a Goth Band from L.A. and it’s single “Ho Ka Hey” received an extensive airplay from the coolest local radio station here in Manila, WXB 102.7 FM because their guitarist Vince Duran is a Filipino.

By the way, did I mentioned this was the first band of Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros fame? Well, now you know.

Enjoy!
