The Victimized - Clear A Path For Destruction (2004)

 The Victimized from Union, NJ.  Great bunch of guys!  This is a CD-R that was put out towards the end of their run.  Members went on to play in Razorblade Handgrenade.  Aggressive hardcore punk in the vein of Discharge, Varukers and the like.  Enjoy play loud!

21 Rounds - Will Play For Beer (2006)


Lehigh Valley NJ street punk at its finest!  Band evolved from the terrific Main Street Mayhem who had a great demo i'd love to find again.  Singer Frank is one of the very few people i've been seeing at shows consistently for well over 20 years and is always a pleasure to have a beer with.   Crank this one loud!

The Cuffs - EP (1996)

 The Cuffs are a long forgotten band.  Maybe its supposed to be that way as someone told me they all became cops and lawyers(send me a PBA card if you read this)... I dont know that thats true but I was talking to one of them in aol - punkchat and he sent me this record.  A few weeks later they played a great set at Coney Island High and then wound up shaving their heads.  They did a few more records, some on Headache.  Good streetpunk for the time from the outskirts of Philly on the NJ side!

The Poo Poo Platters - Is Riff Randle Dead (1994)

Great honest garage punk from Edison NJ.  I heard about these guys from someone at the Woodbridge mall when I was bumming cigarettes near the bus stop... when I was 12.  How could a twelve year old not love a name like that?   Anyway I don't think I wound up finding the record until twenty years later.  I dont know anything about this band but its a great piece of suburban punk none the less.  enjoy!

The Deviators - Century 21 EP (1990)

Woah!   Its been a very long time and I apologize for my absence.  But in the midst of the great almighty CORONAVIRUS I have found myself with a lot of free time on my hands.  What better excuse than to get back into posting on here... And i've not slowed down accumulating stuff to post.
Lets get to it then!    I don't know that much about the Deviators.  They were from Brooklyn and did a few 7"s in the early 90s. This one on SKENE RECS is the first of three, right around the time they did a great track on the Swill Record "Benefit For Beer" compilation so I'd assume its a safe bet they probably played the squat scene back then.  For what its worth, I included the Swill comp song at the end of this record.   These guys could play!  I've heard they've went on to do other rock and roll bands later on but I don't know much about.   Enjoy stay safe!
