The Accused - Grinning Like an Undertaker

This is the album I almost passed on. The Accused's Grinning Like an Undertaker was actually released here in the Philippines! In cassette format, but I didn't believe at the time that is was the Seattle band, so I didn't buy it. But I surfed the net about it and found out that it the real deal. So the next day, I rushed to the record store where I found it and it's gone. That was 1993. 13 years later, a friend of mine finally gave me a copy of it... Thanks Terrorizer!!!

Anyways, here's the Accused's third album of "splatterrock" - Grinning like an Undertaker!!!

Enjoy.

Flattbush - Smash the Octopus

Flattbush is a Filipino Grindcore band based in California. Signed to Koolarow Records of Billy Gould (Faith No More, Brujeria), they released their debut album called Smash the Octopus in 2003 produced by Billy Gould. They are the signees of the said record label. Their music was described as brutal, unapologetic, breathless, never restrained, impressive and chaotic. You can't go wrong with those adjectives. This band, along with Eskapo, another Filipino Hardcore band based in California as well, really makes me proud of being a Filipino. Enough talk. Enjoy!

Napalm Death Split Albums

Napalm Death is one of the most influential bands to ever emerge from the UK. Though they have gone off to pursue other musical genre, their early works, especially their album Scum remains a classic and a meterstick where every grindcore/extreme bands are measured. Here are two great Split albums from this great band. First one is a Split with the equally great and influential band, Extreme Noise Terror (my personal favorite). And the other one is the Split with one of Japan's finest bands (SxOxBx). Need I say more? Enjoy!!!

I gotta change the title of the post, read the comments! hehe

Welcome!!!

The word 'welcome' here means two things, the new year and for the latest addition to my family. Welcome Tommy!!! He looks a lot like my first born Dylan, but probably darker (redder, hehe).

Below are the pictures of Dylan and Tommy days after they were born. Let's see if you can spot the difference.

On the other hand, the CD I'm gonna post is Deviated Instinct's Welcome to the Orgy EP. It's the only one with the word 'welcome' in the title, (So feckin' lame, hehe) since Welcome to 1984 comp was already posted somewhere.

Deviated Instinct - Welcome to the Orgy EP

In case you haven't figure it out yet, Dylan's on the right while Tommy's on the left.

Welcome 2008 and most especially...

Welcome Tommy!!!

I like cover versions. I mean, I like them because it let me see more of the band, who they like, what sort of music they actually listen to other than their own genre. It gives me an insight of what’s going on within the band. Case in point: Celtic Frost’s doing Mexican Radio. Who would have thought that those guys listen to Wall of Voodoo, let alone cover one of their songs. Don’t get me wrong, I love Celtic Frost, but the thought of covering Mexican Radio is totally mind blowing/boggling. I personally don’t like Mexican Radio, even the Celtic Frost’s cover. But the thing is, with that cover, I caught a glimpse of the other side of Celtic Frost. I though these guys are the heaviest, meanest dudes in town, and with that cover, I saw the other part, the not so dark part.

Another stunner was Carcass’ version of A Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill. In this case, I like both bands. But the thing is, it surprised me to know that Carcass listens to Husker Du, being the lords of grind and all. (Unfortunately, they went death and eventually dead).

While going to the other side of the fence, they contend that if a band covers a song, they should make it a spectacular or make it their own, not just a true-blue cover.

Well, I kind of agree to that. But, if you’re just gonna do a ska version of an 80’s song, forget it. That’s where I draw the line. I fucking HATE ska versions, I’d rather listen to a true-blue cover. At least, they are actually paying homage to the originals. And to tell you honestly, true-blue covers are not that bad. I read in the liner notes of Anthrax’s Attack of the Killer B’s that they wanted, for a long time to have their own version of Protest and Survive. And so they did it. It’s not best cover but at least they let the whole world know that they liked the Discharge. And introduced Discharge to the rest of the world (I knew guys who didn’t know the Discharge prior to that cover)

Which brings me to why my ranting ‘bout cover versions. I’ve prepared a compilation of cover songs and their original versions for my 50th post. It contains, among others, one of my favorite cover songs of all time – Extreme Noise Terror’s cover of I’m a Bloody Fool! The original song was already awesome but ENT added their signature dual vocals attack to it. I can still remember when I first got my ENT’s Peel Sessions CD, it ruled my player for weeks.

I had fun doing it, I hope have fun listening to it.

Have a Peaceful New Year!!!

Third World Chaos

And for my tenth and final post for the day, the first ever Pinoi punk record, the classic New Move for Error by Third World Chaos. One of the members of Chaos (as we call them) was the owner of TRC label, Tommy Tanchangco. Their music is more of a 77 punk than hardcore. This is piece of history here.

Today's post, all ten of them!, are all Filipino bands. I hope you will learn more about our humble country, the Philippines, and our kick ass scene here. These posts is just one way of saying Merry Christmas to all of you!!! Enjoy!

Third World Chaos - New Move for Error

Fatal Response

This is the second release from TRC, a compilation called Fatal Response. The first release was Rescue Ladders and Human Barricades which I posted at Slobo's Only In It for the Music ages ago, but I'm sure that the link was dead. But fortunately, my good friend at My Fate to Hate posted it recently. So if you're interested in the Rescue Ladders click here.


There are lots of killer songs here from GI & the Idiots and the WUDS.
