estimated shipping dates are accurate to the best of our knowledge, based on the latest stock information made available to us from the supplier. available items should ship to you within the time - frame indicated. if there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately .
free shipping: we offer free postage on orders over £50. 00 to the uk sent via royal mail. *
* to qualify for free postage the order must be sent as one package. therefore, all items must be in stock or you should be happy to wait until all items become available to ship so they can be sent as one package. downloads and gift vouchers do not count towards free shipping. please note that pre - orders do not count towards free shipping as their release dates are liable to fluctuate .
if your order contains items that have different estimated shipping dates (for example, ‘available to pre - order’, ‘in stock’, ‘available to ship in 1 - 3 days’) you will be given an option either to wait for everything to become available to ship in one package, or to ship each item as soon as it becomes available. stock arrives at the office throughout the day so the stock status of items on the website can change several times a day .

pre - orders are treated as separate packages to items that are either in stock or available to order. if pre - orders share the same release date then they can be ordered and shipped together. however pre - order release dates are liable to change, if you have ordered two pre - orders with the same date to ship together and then one release date gets pushed back, we will ship the available pre - order straight away and the second pre - order as soon as it becomes available with no extra shipping charge .

by 1980, the writing was on the wall: punk rock might have been making headlines, but it wasn' t moving units. the industry responded with the skinny tie bands, retroactively labeled new wave, a safer, more accessible take on the back - to - basics energy of punk. the street reacted by buzzing its collective head, throwing out the fashion designers and putting the musicians in the driver' s seat. the result was a rawer, tougher, more stripped down form of punk known as hardcore. walter schreifels of gorilla biscuits once called it

here are the 20 best albums of the genre. - nicholas pell
with their acclaimed 2000 release relationship of command, texan golden boys at the drive in did the impossible - - they created a crossover hardcore album nearly anyone could enjoy. with trippy, complex guitar work and powerful vocals courtesy of frontman cedric bixler - zavala, relationship of command was the north star for post - hardcore bands that followed. led by single
one armed scissor ,
which received immense mtv and radio play at the time, the album would go on to become one of the year' s most beloved, in any genre. - zach bourque
opening with a flute, the chemistry of common life features volatile rockers fucked up pushing punk rock to the limit. antagonistic lyrics (
it' s hard enough being born in the first place / who would ever want to be born again ?
) are combined with nearly 70 (!) instrumental tracks per song, making for one of the most ambitious hardcore records in memory. the toronto natives work even won the 2009 polaris music prize - - the canadian equivalent of the album of the year. - daniel kohn
guy picciotto fronting rites of spring while ian mackaye manned the production at inner ear studios was kind of like a bizzaro world version of bowie and eno in berlin - - except it was d. c. and there were fewer drugs and the whole world wasn' t watching. picciotto has repeatedly put the kibosh on the notion that this record was the origin of emo (or that the genre even ever existed), but that' s beside the point. the record' s influence is immeasurable, and it endures as a beautiful, screeching time capsule: something real, before everything fugazi. - patrick james
the first 20 seconds of the bronx' s 2003 self - titled debut album will make you want to run through a brick wall. but in a good way. released in a landscape of obnoxious metalcore, the bronx stood out with their simple song structures and high energy, conventional hardcore sound that remains powerful 10 years later. the angeleno natives have since made a name for themselves with notoriously nuts live shows and mariachi music, but their debut release remains their tour de force. - zach bourque
in the mid -' 90s, earth crisis were one of the most divisive bands in the land. true straight edge believers adored them, but the more politically correct underground were repulsed by the violence and homophobia associated with the band' s
hardline
fan base, an ultra - militant offshoot of the straight edge movement. (folks were afraid said fan base was going to come to a gig and beat people up for smoking cigarettes .) all politics aside, if there' s a riff heavier than the one on the title track, we haven' t heard it yet. the opening
thud - thud
will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up even before the electrifying
born addicted! / beaten and neglected !
chorus begins. - nicholas pell
for a hot minute in the mid - 1990s, bro - cal (aka huntington beach) was home to some of hardcore' s most promising acts. eleven thirty - four didn' t achieve the notoriety of tsol, straight faced, or ignite, but they crafted bro - cal' s brightest gem - - reality filter - - with its stirring octave notes, dynamic riffs, countless drum fills, and remarkably light production. it' s a testament to the potency of matt enright' s lucid yell that a line like
opened up and vulnerable, fragile as can be
had appeal with those leg - tatted dudes in the pit. - patrick james
if hardcore has a poet laureate, it' s sheer terror frontman paul bearer, famous for the line ,
i can' t stand living / i can' t stand you / and i just can' t hate enough .
a screed against fellow new yorkers warzone from just can' t hate enough' s title track, it' s a chorus that aptly summarizes hardcore' s attitude. but
here to stay
attacks the entire scene as soft, pretentious and middle class, while
twisting and turning
showcases riffs as intricate and interesting as anything that swiss metal innovators celtic frost were doing at the time. sheer terror are, as a later album title indicates ,
ugly and proud .

back in the' 80s, venice wasn' t a quirky beach community. it was a dangerous place with its own hardcore scene. suicidal tendencies were the scene' s flagship band, leading fellow travelers excel, beowülf and no mercy to the greener pastures of crossover. indeed, suicidal tendencies has been credited by luminaries such as anthrax' s scott ian with inventing the crossover sound on their self - titled debut, which features the infectiously catchy rant rock classic
institutionalized .
and the band' s influence lives on, having later provided a template for the cholo imagery of west side powerviolence bands like despise you and final draft. - nicholas pell
the buzzcocks didn' t influence hardcore much, but they meant a whole lot to gorilla biscuits frontman civ and guitarist walter schreifels. the former scored minor hits during the' 90s alt rock feeding frenzy, and the latter went on to form post - hardcore heavyweights quicksand and perennial indie rock favorites rival schools. on start today, gorilla biscuits display an appreciation of first - wave pop punk in the framework of second - wave hardcore. the work features gang vocals, melody and more hooks than a tackle box. - nicholas pell
i against i was made following bad brains' first break - up and reunion, and served to influence groups as far afield as the beastie boys and sublime, the latter of whom covered bad brains biggest hit
house of suffering
in their live shows. i against i strays from their previous self - titled tape with a more experimental direction, but it expands their sound the right way. to top it off their singer h. r recorded the vocal track on the album' s song
sacred love
from jail. i against i showed the band hitting a pinnacle, which they (and others) have long since attempted to match. - juan gutierrez
the only studio album by the west l. a. outfit the germs, its title is an acronym for germs incognito, a name they sometimes used because local clubs wanted no part of their violent shows. produced by joan jett, the collection features aggressive riffs and bratty vocals, and has become the unofficial blueprint for west coast hardcore bands. internal strife and singer darby crash' s suicide ultimately caused the group' s demise, less than two years after (gi)' s release. - daniel kohn
the appeal of hardcore is that it fits blasts of frantic chaos into some fairly conservative song structures; unlike metal there' s no proggy fuss. and with the additional rigidity of straight edge, you magnify the tension even more. at times on break down the walls, the drums threaten to gallop away in all directions, and singer ray cappo seems perpetually on the brink of an aneurysm. but the songs always reconcile - - like when the guy who just elbowed you in the pit lifts you up off the ground - - which is why youth of today left such an indelible mark on new york hardcore. - patrick james
the age of quarrel is the last great album of hardcore' s first wave and the opening salvo of its second. there is no band that changed hardcore' s direction more than the new york - based, hare krishna - influenced' mags. led by kinetic frontman john
bloodclot
joseph and the inimitable harley flanagan - - a man who had a full chest tattoo by the time he was 13 - - cro - mags introduced a metal influence by way of motörhead and tank that provided the template for post - 1986 hardcore. they were also, notably, the first band to have a video on mtv featuring moshing and stage diving. later efforts never quite measured up, but their debut is the most furious half hour on wax since damaged. - nicholas pell
if 1982 was the year of hardcore' s zenith, 1986 was the year crossover crested. crossover was an attempt by marketing geniuses to get punk to sell by making it more metallic, appealing simultaneously to punks, skins and headbangers. the attempt fell flat, but resulted in some killer records, like agnostic front' s sophomore effort cause for alarm, which came out in' 86. featuring early masterpieces by late type o negative front man peter steele (
the eliminator
,
growing concern
and
toxic shock
) paired with roger miret' s frantic vocals and alex kinon' s guitar heroics, the result is a perfect union. - nicholas pell
overshadowed by black flag, double nickels on the dime was nonetheless released to critical acclaim by san pedro natives the minutemen. recorded in venice, it showcases mike watt - - the godfather of l. a.' s funky bass sound in punk, who has gone on to work with folks including nirvana, the red hot chili peppers, and iggy pop. minutemen' s song
corona
finally broke big due to jackass, but it was d. boon' s political lyrics, driving guitar riffs, and george hurley' s frantic drumming that make double nickels on the dime hardcore perfection. - juan gutierrez
washington d. c.' s bad brains have the distinction of bridging punk to hardcore by way of mind - bending free jazz. just before they released this self - titled tape (it didn' t come out on vinyl until later) punk had been in need of a reboot and an good infusion of real ire, in the face of new wave and all that poppy pap. what came out of the tape, was a hardened core, if you will. hr and company may have
learned
punk from ocean - crossing brits, but they rebuilt the whole fucking thing with over - clocked powertools and started something new; something more furious than the angriest of angry kids had ever seen. cores do not get any harder than
pay to cum .
- paul t. bradley
hardcore, despite its outward aggression, is ultimately about positivity. it' s about finding yourself in a world of shit (namely reagan - era suburbia) and trying to make something out of it. reno, nevada' s 7 seconds wrote the book on positive hardcore and that book is called the crew. frontman kevin seconds' soaring vocals created melodic hardcore that doesn' t lose its edge. in 2013, denouncing violence and promoting scene unity is old hat, but in 1984, 7 seconds offered a glimmer of hope to kids who loved hardcore' s energy but bristled at its factionalism and fighting. - nicholas pell
sure, it' s not technically an album, but there is nonetheless no better introduction to the genre of hardcore than minor threat' s complete discography. so fast, so tight, so righteous, so young: ian mackaye, brian baker, and co put d. c. hardcore on the map and established an ethos or two (straight edge, diy), all while being flat out better than their contemporaries. that minor threat' s entire body of work fits on one cd doesn' t diminish its significance; even today, it' s still perfectly out of step (with the world). - patrick james

here’s a list of my 50 favorite albums of 2013. this is by no means a definitive list. these aren’t “the best” or “the most important” records of the year. they’re simply the 50 records that, for one reason or another, managed to capture my attention, spark my imagination, excite and inspire me. they also often drove me into fits of loud song, wild dance, and happy laughter. i love these records, i’m grateful for them, and i want to share them with you. many of these you will already know. others will be new to you. i hope you enjoy them all as much as i do, but i will, of course, understand if you don’t. please feel free to share your own favorites in the comments section .
note: i’ve linked to sites where you can learn more about the music, sample the music, enjoy it in its entirety, and / or purchase it. the formats listed are simply those that i happen to own; in most (if not all) cases, other formats are also available. (usually, i just buy the first format i can find and / or afford. )
random observation: lots of black - and - white album art this year .
thanks steven for pointing toward new and interesting music. it' s hard to keep up at my advanced age. you perform a valuable service .
you had a pretty good list. my top 25 are listed below, still haven' t posted it to my blog as it is still a work in progress. the final will have 100, and the top 25 should remain as below with # 1 being my favorite .
too much pop music, need to expand your listening selections. from the progressive rock / jazz area... .. fantastic music and producton all around, a few of my favs .
thank you for your list and expanding into the prog rock field. when i read your list, i thought, most of them are also my personal cds of the year, but i was not aware of the group fright pig. so i gave them a listen and ordered the cd right after 5 minutes. how could i have missed this band .
flying colors – live in europe (with mike portnoy, steve morse, neil morse, .. )
flying colors ~ a fav of mine, actually have seen neal morse on his last two tours and will be seeing the transatlantic tour in feb 2014 .
leprous ~ i have tried on that one... maybe need more spins
dt ~ huge dt fan... this one though is hit and miss for me, i miss portnoy .
for those of you unfamiliar with the vinyl factory, they are worth investigating, if only for their weekly newsletter .
what an outstanding list! thanks for sharing. here' s another great one :
lots of your picks are in my top albums of the year as well .
and i could (rightly or wrongly) be put in my place as per my own opinions and preferences .
• there is no such thing as sensory overload. i am just an old fuddy duddy who has failed to
move with the times ,
and electronica and rap are the modern day equivalents of indigenous music created in cadence with nature and spirit .
granted, definitions for nature and spirit might be helpful, but beyond the scope of a comment section .
still, try as i might to be open minded in my attempt to understand the impetus for the creative process, i really don' t get the kanye west piece... ?
@ kelven - by the way you describe the music as' sensory overload' and' bombardment' it sounds like you are simply not accustomed to developments in modern music. that' s ok, and so what if you' re an old fuddy duddy? many of us will be one day. if the music doesn' t speak to you, it doesn' t speak to you. but if you can be open minded, maybe you' ll give some of the new music a chance. context can definitely help in understanding music and other forms of creative expression. for instance, if you' d never listened to jazz before and say picked up a record by food, you might not understand what they were inspired by, what perspective they' re coming from. not saying context is going to help you appreciate kanye as an artist, but perhaps there' s something more to his work than meaningless dribble? maybe it is meaningless crap. but there is good stuff out there that' s unique, and inspiring, and you' d be doing yourself a disservice to pass it all up because music has changed .
in some ways i am aware of how anachronistic i can be, e. g. , more inclined to enjoy art from the renaissance period over the contemporary .
i am fascinated by electronica music and get a kind
kick
from it from time to time - - and for that matter am currently burning - in some speakers with yello' s planet dada flamboyant (but in all fairness will soon be leaving the house for a few hours) .
however, when it comes to what i might refer to as a
heart connection
with music, i guess i am not yet there with a lot of the current artists. (hence, my grossly
pop psychologizing
of the current day social milieu as overstimulatiing of the senses - - and a possible link / mirror with music preferences. )
still, i cannot deny the experience i have with electronica and rap is one that goes
around me
instead of
into me .
but maybe that is what is intended with what some describe as ambient music... ?
i listened to this album, beginning to end, hoping to discover the spark that must have appealed to stephen meijas. sorry, i cannot find any: it is a mess and very very pretentious to boot. interestingly, it is like a lesser laurie anderson + björk (check out the way she pronounces the word
city
in the opening track. it is identical to björk' s) .
i' d like to first and foremost submit gregory porter' s latest. a bit forward in the recording, but nevertheless 5 stars for content and 4. 5 for recording .
catalyst
by marqueal jordan is a refreshingly well recorded album by an emerging jazz talent i hope to hear more from .
hand picked
by earl klugh also exposes the challenges of recording solo instrument performances - how do you resolve staging since it could get boring with just one instrument... but it is * very * well recorded .
finally, i' d nominate
just what you need
by brian simpson. this is a 256k mp3 amazon recording i can listen to through my - revealing, if i may state so - system and be entirely happy with it. awesome all around, crystal clear .
