Other highlights include the group's anthemic hit single, 'New Rose,' a pounding track that's powered by a monster riff from guitarist Brian James, and a swell rendition of the Stooges' 'I Feel Alright.' produced by Nick Lowe (who allegedly sped up the original tapes to give The Damned a 'punkier' sound), 'Damned Damned Damned' is essential album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Union Square Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12820949499955,"sku":"161114005","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/files\/4492706-3618004.jpg?v=1785267729"},{"product_id":"negative-approach-tied-down-12","title":"Negative Approach: Tied Down 12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWE CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE THE PINK COVER VERSION IN STOCK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released in 1983.While bands like the Meatmen and the Necros are often credited with being the focus of the Midwest hardcore scene in the early '80s, most of the kids hanging out down in the Cass Corridor were checking out Detroit's own violent breed of eardrum shredders, Negative Approach. In 1983, Corey Rusk's Touch \u0026amp; Go label released a ten-song LP named Tied Down, which would be the first LP from Negative Approach and the third LP from the then-unknown independent label. It was well received by the faithful, as frenzied masses of teenagers decked out in shaved heads and jackboots religiously attended the band's chaotic gigs, which were often headlined by groups like the Misfits and the Meatmen. During this period, vocalist John Brannon screamed until his eyes bulged out of their sockets as he performed songs from Tied Down like \"I'll Survive,\" \"Dead Stop,\" and the dirge-like anthem \"Evacuate.\" Brothers Graham and Rob McCulloch and drummer OP Moore wrote some punishing music that appropriately matched the nihilistic imagery of Brannon's lyrics, which spoke of the frustrations and the pressures of being a teenager and the struggle to survive it all. The LP was posthumously released on Total Recall, an anthology of the band's entire recorded catalog; vocalist Brannon would go on to form the Laughing Hyenas and, subsequently, Easy Action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touch \u0026 Go Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12830520246323,"sku":"150507009","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/products\/IMG_E4379copy.jpg?v=1607030332"},{"product_id":"husker-du-zen-arcade-2x12-1","title":"Husker Du: Zen Arcade 2x12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandmark double album from 1984.

The record came to be made when Pete Stennett, owner of Small Wonder Records, heard a demo that the band had recorded. Impressed by all of the material, he decided that rather than release a conventional single by the band, he would put all of their set onto an 18 track 12 inch EP. However problems were encountered when workers at the Irish pressing plant contracted to manufacture the disc refused to handle it due to the allegedly blasphemous content of the track \"Reality Asylum\" (referred to as \"Asylum\" on the record sleeve). The record was eventually released with this track removed and replaced by two minutes of silence, retitled \"The Sound Of Free Speech.\" This incident also prompted Crass to set up their own record label in order to retain full editorial control as well as political and legal responsibility for their material, and \"Reality Asylum\" was shortly afterwards issued in a re-recorded and extended form as a 7\" single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA later repress of The Feeding Of The 5000 (subtitled The Second Sitting) released on Crass Records in 1981 restored the missing track. The song \"They've Got A Bomb\" also features a period of silence within it, inspired by John Cage's \"4'33.\" The band have acknowledged the influence of Cage, and said that the idea of the space in the song, when performed live, was to suddenly stop the energy, dancing and noise and allow the audience to momentarily 'confront themselves' and consider the reality of nuclear war. According to band founder and drummer Penny Rimbaud, who wrote in 1986: \"We named the album The Feeding Of The Five Thousand because 5000 was the minimum number that we could get pressed and some 4900 more than we thought we'd sell.

Recorded over two days at Southern Studios by John Loder and originally released in 1983 by Crass off-shoot label Corpus Christi, Death Church showed a band moving away from the urgency of their two early 7”s and into their own realm. Creating a template that bands have been trying to replicate ever since, while ticking all the boxes to become a genre-defining album. Iconic artwork, a unique sound and their own lyrical universe. All merging seamlessly. Sonically the album is full of Nick Blinko’s extraordinary vocals and equally remarkable guitar, Grant Matthews’ big meandering driving basslines and Jon Greville's tight and relentless drum work which together made something intricate and hard hitting, with a sequence that makes the 21 songs on the album flow perfectly. Visually, the album is every outsider art lover’s wet dream. A six-panel poster sleeve with every inch covered in Nick Blinko’s claustrophobic black and white line drawings, while lyrically the songs deal with madness, religion, death, and questioning humankind from a dark poetic place rarely found in any art form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemastered from the original master tapes by Arthur Rizk and housed in a replica poster sleeve.

Writing a description of \u003cem\u003eDeath Church\u003c\/em\u003e feels a bit like trying to write something about \u003cem\u003eDamaged\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eWalk Among Us\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eNever Mind the Bollocks\u003c\/em\u003e… it’s all but universally heralded as a great album, so what can I add to the conversation? Probably nothing, so I’m not going to try. The album is available on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sealedrecords2.bandcamp.com\/album\/death-church\"\u003ethe Sealed Records Bandcamp site\u003c\/a\u003e and all streaming services, so if you haven’t heard it, it’s easy to rectify that problem. The record will blow your mind. However, those of you who are novices in the world of Rudimentary Peni might wonder why the album’s re-release has gotten so much fanfare. The short version of the story is that Rudimentary Peni is a band that people care about deeply. But why? One thing that separates Rudimentary Peni from most of their underground punk peers is their talent for building an immersive world around their music. There are some bands—Black Flag, Misfits, the Stooges, the Ramones—whose music, lyrics, visual aesthetic, and everything else surrounding the art clicks together so perfectly that it almost seems like a world you can step into. Indeed, many people try, listening to these bands’ music obsessively, trying to dress, talk, and write songs like them. Rudimentary Peni, though far less well known, has a similar thing going on. Rudimentary Peni’s world seems like it was ahead of its time, even better suited to 2022 than 1983, when \u003cem\u003eDeath Church\u003c\/em\u003e came out. Singer Nick Blinko’s engagement with mental health \/ mental illness in particular seems prescient, since not only has the discourse around mental health become so much bigger in the decades since then, but nowadays it seems like everyone is on some mood-altering drug or another (I’m a Lexapro person, myself). The changing informational and economic landscape has also helped to balloon interest in Rudimentary Peni. As far as I know, Rudimentary Peni had no domestic releases in the US in the 80s and, hence, no promotion. Even in their native England, the band only played live a few times and remained a mysterious presence. The grand digitization of the 21st century has done little to remedy the sense of mystery that surrounds them. (I remember Usman excitedly showing me \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vIOrwUtuKgU\"\u003ea radio interview with the band that surfaced on YouTube a few years ago\u003c\/a\u003e.) Since Rudimentary Peni was pretty hard to find out about and really good, the people who found them in the pre-internet era developed a profound reverence for them. I remember when someone put “Teenage Time Killer” on a mix tape for me when I was a teenager… it sounded so weird, but so interesting, that haunting lead guitar line drawing me in like a siren’s song. On the rare occasions when I would come across one of their records in the years after that, I would always buy without question, exploring the group’s discography haphazardly as I came across the records. I’m certain I heard \u003cem\u003eThe Underclass\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eArchaic\u003c\/em\u003e well before I ever scored a copy of \u003cem\u003eDeath Church\u003c\/em\u003e. Speaking of which, the internet era has made Rudimentary Peni’s records extremely collectible. Much like G.I.S.M., Rudimentary Peni was a band that was pretty hard to hear before the internet. Once people could hear the music, it made them want the vinyl, but the records had been out of print for years, occasionally appearing as bootlegs but largely unavailable. The value of Rudimentary Peni’s vinyl went through the roof, and over the past few years I’ve seen copies of \u003cem\u003eDeath Church\u003c\/em\u003e sell for hundreds of dollars. It’s unsurprising that someone stepped into that gap in the market, but I’m very glad that it was Sealed Records who did so. Their reissue of \u003cem\u003eDeath Church\u003c\/em\u003e satisfies both the intense fan and the astute record collector, the vinyl having been cut from the original master tapes (it sounds great) and the packaging a meticulous reproduction of the original record’s incredible fold-out poster sleeve. Because what would a Rudimentary Peni record be without a pile of incredible Nick Blinko artwork to feast your eyes on? So, whether you’re a collector who needs something to keep a spot on your shelf warm while you hunt for an original, or you’re just a punk fanatic who wants to experience this landmark record in all its glory, now is the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sealed Records","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":42426843627774,"sku":"220203904","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":42426843660542,"sku":"220209960","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/products\/deathchurch_1080x_7773c0c9-ccca-40c3-8e6c-2896f8a4aaec.jpg?v=1645203552"},{"product_id":"blitz-voice-of-a-generation-12","title":"Blitz: Voice of a Generation 12\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePuke n Vomit presents the first domestic US vinyl pressing of one of the most seminal and influential albums from the early 80s UK Punk\/Oi!
