SCREW 32 - January 6th, 1995 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Dang!  I uploaded this soundboard from SCREW 32 about two weeks ago, and then got busy and forgot to post the upload here!  Well, kiddo-s back in school so now I can do more uploading and whatnot, for those paying attention.  Here's one I got from my buddy Jake Kelly, a pretty decent soundboard from Screw 32, playing with Spitboy.  I like this, though I'm still not overly familiar with Screw 32, I think I've only heard one album and I don't own any of their stuff.  Had I grown up out here in the east bay, maybe I'd have been way more into them.  If this is your cup of tea, I think you'll really like this! Enjoy!   - DH

SWIZ - April 1988 @ St John's Cathedral, Washington DC [AUDIENCE]

Here's a very rough sounding live audio recording from SWIZ, live in Washington DC in 1988.  I think it's incomplete as well.  Not great sounding but I like Swiz so it gets the occasional play by me, if you have my level of tolerance for rough live tapes, perhaps you'll enjoy this as well...   - DH

CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER - December 20th, 1985 @ Ruthie's Inn, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Well, this soundboard from CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER is not good sounding.  Everything sounds fucky, especially the bass guitar and snare drum.  The source tape is a far lower gen than what is out there on Youtube currently at least.  I also did some attempts to improve things via Izotope and some EQ'ing, and it helps, but this is still the end result.  It's a shame because this is such an early show from the band, what a potentially great document of that period.  Maybe some diehards will dig this, but yeesh, I wouldn't be surprised if they turned this off too.   - DH

LIFE SENTENCE - March 23rd, 1986 @ The Electric Banana, Pittsburgh, PA [AUDIENCE]

Here's a very early live set from LIFE SENTENCE!  It's not the best sounding, probably recorded on a Walkman by someone in the audience, but I absolutely still appreciate it's existence and dig this tape.  I'm no Life Sentence expert, it's a band that I had completely missed out on as I dove into the world of punk, thrash, metal, etc but have learned that these guys were very active and had some killer records.  These tapes, especially the ones from Dodge have turned me on to a lot of bands that flew under my radar.  If you hadn't heard them before, here's your chance.  And if you are one of those folks already hip to them, then this may be something you really dig as well.  Enjoy!    - DH

SKELETAL EARTH - "It's Not Our Fault" 1989 Demo

Damn, I uploaded this demo from SKELETAL EARTH over two weeks ago, and have been so busy I never made a post for it here!  Sorry about that, summer with my kid home from school has had me far busier than expected, I haven't even uploaded anything since this one.  Yeesh, can't wait for school to start back up!

So as I wrote above, this is a demo from Skeletal Earth.  I don't know anything about them other than the tidbit of info on Discogs.  They were from Madison, Alabama in the late 80's, and they put out a handful of tapes before finally releasing an album, then they were apparently done.  SO yeah, this is one of those tapes they put out.  It's decent 80's thrashy death metal, I can dig it.  If that's something you dig, then check this out.    - DH

Here we go with a very early days live set from JAWBOX. I knew when I saw this tape that I was gonna have to digitize this one pretty much as quick as I can.  I liked them a lot in the early 90's, but even after all these decades, I don't think I have anything live from them at all, and that's a shame.  So I got this tape in a lot and was stoked to see it on the B side of a live Scream tape.  Heck yeah!  Thanks to whoever had the foresight to record this way back then!  - DH

OVERSOUL - February 14th, 1993 - [no location info] [SOUNDBOARD]

From Minneapolis, MN, and a time before metallic hardcore had become it's own huge scene, comes OVERSOUL.  I had posted their demo previously, so follow the tags at the bottom of the post to find that if you dig this.  It's 4 songs with killer production.  If you liked that post, and wanted to hear more, then you are in luck, as all 4 songs and a few more are on this soundboard tape.  There was no info on where the show was, just when, but I assume it's from their hometown.  If anyone can confirm, then I'll edit it into the post.  Being a soundboard means it's recording a mix that's intended for the room, not the tape, so there can be some funky issues such as overpowering vocals.  Usually vocal s are way up, guitars are way too low.  For this one I boosted the guitars a bit but they are fine enough in this mix, the vocals really had to come down a lot and they still are pretty high in the mix.  It is a lot more balanced though now, so thanks Izotope rx8 and it's handy rebalance feature!   Anyhoo, jam the tape.  It's good.  Jam that demo too, if you like 90's metallic hardcore then this will be right your alley.  - DH

SINS OF THE FLESH - May 3rd, 1987 @ Spanky's, Sacramento, CA

Here's another live set from SINS OF THE FLESH, who, if I remember correctly, were from the Sacramento area.  I'm not very familiar with the band outside of having some live sets from that time period where my buddies Chris and Shayne were tape trading with each other.  Shayne is the source for this, if he didn't tape he he would likely know who did.  And would probably know whether this was a soundboard tape or an audience.  It could go either way actually but if I had to guess I would go with soundboard.  So yeah, here's a probably soundboard recording from a band you've probably never heard of, just how I like it, haha.  Enjoy some new old sounds!   - DH

Here's a cool one from ASPIRIN FEAST from Seattle, WA.  The tape is labeled "Unreleased Songs" which may have been true at the time, and might not be true as of now.  A quick search of Discogs shows that a couple of songs do appear on other things like their split EP and original demo tape. but I have no idea if those are different recordings.  If an expert chimes in here or on my FB or Youtube, I'll edit that info in here.  For now, enjoy the Aspirin Feast, because they were awesome.   - DH

It's not the best sounding, but hey, I'm not going to complain at all, it's fucking Infest in 1989!  So this tape didn't have much info with it, all this info outside of the setlist could be wrong.  There is a sticker on the spine of the case that says "Infest Los Angeles, CA 1989", so yeah, not very clear.  If I get any more solid info, I'll edit it in here of course.  For now, just crank this, or download it, or do both!  Enjoy!    - DH

DIDDLY SQUAT - August 8th, 1987 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

As I listen to this upload I wonder why, WHY did I upload this!?!  The band in question, DIDDLY SQUAT is, or were, great.  They were a tri-cities Washington band that would later on have members in other great WA bands like Christ On A Crutch, Aspirin Feast, and Brotherhood, and of course is a band with Nate Mandell on bass who would later be known for Sunny Day Real Estate and Foo Fighters, and then would later on become a total kook who was into some weird AIDs denialism stuff.  What a goon.  Anyhoo, the band was killer.  This tape however, maybe not so much.  Not for any fault of the band, but it's a Gilman soundboard from 1987, notorious for bad board recording mixes because they had a small board in the beginning and they were obviously more concerned with having a good mix in the room, not a tape recording.  So yeah, 1987 Gilman board tapes are more often misses than hits.  I did what I could to help it but there's not much that could be done when the mix fluctuates so wildly.  So why did I upload this?  Because have you ever seen another Diddly Squat live tape?  No?  That's right, this band was shortlived and so there's just no other stuff that I've come across yet.  So this is it, and if you are curious, here ya go.  If you've never heard the band, follow the tags below to hear their 1987 demo.  - DH

MDC - July 25th, 1987 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Here's a fun set from the mighty MDC, live at 924 Gilman St in July of 1987.  For this show they ripped up the setlist and put the songs in something and had the audience draw them and they would play it.  The mix on this is all over the place though, if you've checked out other Gilman soundboards on my site from 87 or 88 you should be familiar with this.  It is what it is, nothing I could do to fix this fully.  I did boost some things, but I cant do anything about the wildly fluctuating mix.  Still, might be neat if you were there, or just want a random MDC show to listen to.    - DH

OPERATION IVY - December 31st, 1987 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [AUDIENCE]

Here's a killer one that I got not from someone around here in the bay area, but off an east coaster in a lot of old live tapes and demos that I won on eBay. I was particularly stoked to hear this one, hoping for a tape copy of the soundboard, which I have heard but it's on a DVD, edited into the footage from that night.  I'd love a lossless copy but honestly, it didn't sound good.  The guitars were far too low, as normal for some of those kinds of tapes.  So instead of a soundboard, to my surprise this is an audience recording.  Given the problems with Gilman soundboards that I just mentioned, I always appreciate any recordings anyone had the foresight to make from out in the crowd, hell yeah.  Sadly it's just the Op Ivy set and not the others.  And I have no gen or taper info so I'm not sure if this taper recorded the other bands or not.  Still I'm happy that this exists and that I can share it with ya'll, enjoy!  Killer and fun performance, check that setlist!   - DH

BORN/DEAD - December 27th, 2002 @ Burnt Ramen, Richmond, CA [AUDIENCE]

Another killer classic from the collection, for me at least.  I've listened to this CDR a bunch, recorded by John The Baker at Burnt Ramen. He recorded damn near every Burnt Ramen show around this time, from mics hung from the ceiling.  I had mp3s of a pretty fair amount of those shows and lost them in a hard drive crash.  Always back yer shit up!  I know someone out there has all these shows, because I saw a torrent for them at one point, but it never had seeders.  It would be awesome to get access to those at some point, if anyone has leads, that would rule.  Maybe I'll bump into JTB someday and ask him. So, yeah.  This was the benefit show for P.U.N.K. zine I believe. It was a killer bill.  Hellshock played this as well, I think I have the Benumb and Hellshock sets up at least.  Check the tags below and see if they come up.  Anyhoo, killer band that anyone that was going to Ramen shows around this time would have had to see a handful of times.  They were pretty great, and once again, I felt like as much as I liked them, I didn't really appreciate them fully until they were done.  At least some records and a few live shows and videos exist!  Enjoy!   - DH

Did you grow up gong to punk shows at 924 Gilman St in the later half of the 90's?  If so I suspect you may have seen this band at least a few times.  Or perhaps you just dig that scene, this might be for you.  It's a soundboard I got from my buddy Jake and if it's his then odds are it's something decent.  Personally, I'm not familiar with them, but I certainly have seen their name on older flyers and such.  Listening now, it's not bad at all, though it's a Gilman soundboard and that can be hit or miss.  But the music is cool.  I was onto heavier stuff by this point but I think that if I had come across this just a couple years prior I might have dug this.  - DH

Here's a classic DISCHARGE soundboard recording from 1983.  The tape is mis-labeled, but the original taper corrected the info for us all, while also posting his master tape HERE.  However, that tape is just an upload to Youtube with no links for downloading, so no archiving for us all that care about that kind of stuff, so this rip of a higher generation tape still matters.  It's currently the best circulating copy that somebody can download and store and listen to on their own computer or devices.  It would be awesome if the original taper shared his file, but until that happens, we will settle for this I guess.  It's still awesome though!  - DH

Life has been quite busy making regular postings difficult, but hopefully I can get things back on track.  Kicking this month off with a SPAZZ soundboard from 1999 recorded at 924 Gilman St.  It's not awesome sounding at all, it's pretty much just drums and vocals, I boosted the bass and guitar as much as I could but listening to it now it wouldn't sound like I did anything at all to it.  Some recordings there just can't be much done to it, without creating weird audio artifacting and such.  Not sure why I'm even posting this to be honest, but just in case a Spazz completist wants to hear it, here it is.    - DH

SOCIAL UNREST - Demo

Today's post is the demo from SOCIAL UNREST, a punk band from Hayward, CA I believe.  They are a pretty old band, having started sometime around the late 70's / early 80's, back when punk was still pretty fresh.  I don't remember when they broke up, but I know they reunited in the late 80's for shows, and I saw them play in the 2000's.  I have a set from them at the Gilman 20th anniversary show on here just follow the tags below this post.  This is a pretty decent demo, but I have no idea if it's had a wider release.  Discogs turned up nothing, but that could just be an error on my part.  Anyhoo, jam this in yer earholes!    - DH

Another killer STIKKY recording from the Chris Dodge tapes.  I have no info about this show at all, other than it was with Ribzy, who were recorded on the flipside and was posted HERE.   This was probably recorded by Dodge himself, or at least someone recording for him with his stuff.  If anyone can sort out the setlist, comment below or on Youtube and I'll edit it in here.  For now, enjoy the Stikky!  - DH

7 SECONDS - Socially Fucked Up - 1981 Demo

Right on, this is something I'm pretty excited about, another 7 SECONDS demo, this time it's "Socially Fucked Up" from 1981.  I was only familiar with the basic 7 Seconds albums and EPs, and one of the demos, then I got a few of these others that I've posted here and each one has been totally awesome, I can't believe I hadn't bothered looking these up before.  Then again, I like 7 Seconds a lot, but I'm no completist.  It's possible these appear on some reissue or other release, I have no idea.  A quick search through Discogs makes me think they are not available widely.  Well, for those like me that hadn't heard this before, here ya go.  Early days 7 Seconds!    - DH

SPECIAL FORCES - Beer Sniper

Another recording from Berkeley punks SPECIAL FORCES.  I'm not sure what this is from.  The tape had the demo, and just said "Beer Sniper tracks" with the tracklisting, but I can't find any mention of a release or comp called Beer Sniper.  Nor do I see these songs listed on their releases on discogs. Is my google broken?  Am I dingus?  The recording is pretty awesome, so I'm surprised this isn't out there more.  This band really should have a discography CD.    - DH

CHRISTIAN MISTRESS - March 20th, 2011 @ Sugar Mountain, Oakland, CA [AUDIENCE]

For a while there, CHRISTIAN MISTRESS were frequently coming down to the bay area or passing through on tour, and the shows were just killing it, and getting better every time.  They released a great 10" that led them to sign to Relapse Records, and it seemed like they were poised to become a serious force.  Great tunes and great shows.  I'm not sure if they are a band anymore, I hadn't seen a show from them in a while or anything about new albums, and that was before the pandemic.  Whatever they are or aren't up to, they are still the shit to me. I  still think they are great.  I loved that 10" and wasn't about to pass up their first show in Oakland at Sugar Mountain, part of a US tour they did with the fucking Thrones!  What an unlikely and great combo!  Slough Feg played this show as well, it was amazing.  Sadly I swear I recorded the other bands but cannot find any of the other's files, hopefully they turn up on a hard drive.  - DH

SCREW 32 - October 15th, 1994 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Yet another band that I'm not familiar with, SCREW 32 live at 924 Gilman St in 1994.  If I had come across these guys earlier in life I would have dug them a whole lot, especially if I had grown up out here in the bay area and had seen them play a bunch.  As an adult, it's not generally in my wheelhouse but I can still appreciate and enjoy them, especially live because they certainly seem to be a fun live band.  If you liked them, you'll like this as well, as it's a pretty decent soundboard tape.    - DH

THE END (Rochester, NY) - Unreleased 1998 Demo

Today's post is from a punk band I was really into from my hometown of Rochester, NY, called THE END.  I know, there are a few bands with the name, so this is the punk band from NY to be clear.  I have a California band with the same name posting in the future, they are not the same band!  

So as I wrote, I was really into this band.  They were new-ish when I was starting my first band, I'd seen them a few times and then my band played our first show together with them.  Their bass player wound up leaving not long after that show, I think he may have done a 180 and joined the military.  So they needed a bass player.  Somehow I, not a bass player at all with no bass gear, volunteered myself.  Their guitar player Pat brought a bass over, showed me the set, and I sat up all night on mushrooms practicing the entire time.  The next day, and without any sleep at all, I played my first show with them.  I played with them for the spring and summer, and eventually left to focus on my own band, and they carried on with someone else.  I think they had a few bass players over the years, but the core of the band always remained the same.  

So in my brief time with them, I did write a couple songs, and we went and did a 4 track recording with Chris Dalcin in their practice space.  We never did anything with it though, it was never released, and there may have only ever been 2 or 3 copies on tape at the time, just for us in the band.  I came across it and thought it would be fun to digitize and share, sorry I don't remember the song titles.    - DH
