SMASH DETOX " SHANGRI-LA" B/W " LIKE WATER" 7" ( Prank 120 / HG -279)

PRANK SCREWS THE POOCH, MARTYRDOD "SEKT"!

2011-06-16T16:48:00.001-07:00

It's been a busy Spring to summer at PRANK HQ with a veritible deluge of releases in progress and /or the way- ASTA KASK "Aldrig En"LP, ASTA KASK " En For Alla, Ingen for nan" LP, ASTA KASK " MED IS I MAGEN" LP, BORN UGLIES 7", NO STATIK 7", IRON LUNG " SEXLESS/ NO SEX" re-press, IRON LUNG " LIFE.IRON LUNG.DEATH" LP Re-PRESS, HIS HERO IS GONE "15 COUNTS OF ARSON" LP re-press, HIS HERO IS GONE " MONUMENTS TO THIEVES" LP re-press, ASTA KASK 5X 7" BOX SET, SMASH DETOX 7", BGK BENEFIT T-SHIRT + we opened the pop up spot at CHAOS IN TEJAS and have been promoting tours for ASTA KASK, MARTYRDOD and more.....but in this chaos and faced with the month long illness that always seems to be the lead up to "Chaos in Tejas", the one thing that slipped through the cracks was getting the U.S. Press of MARTYRDÖD's "SEKT" finished for their short West Coast tour with NO STATIK that that begins this weekend.

Jens of MARTYRDÖD is an old friend from the mighty SUNDAY MORNING EINSTEINS and Anton From S.M.E. and ACURSED also now plays in MARTYRDÖD, and I feel terrible that Prank's fallen down on the job, and while this realization made for a pretty bleak week, I realized a Negative can easily become a positive If I do what I do best, which is get out of the car and push.

And Luckily , This remastered edition, mastered by Frank Boltz in Germany and Cut to Lacquers here in the U.S. by George Horn is almost finished! Thanks to our friends at MONOLITH PRESS We will have snazzy tour only editions set to go for their show in SF on Tuesday with a deluxe two color silk screened limited edition sleeve on chipboard, with a lyric insert and a special vinyl color edition pressed up extra quick by our friends at BILL SMITH CUSTOM RECORDS. So folks in the Bay area and Southern California can pick these up at the shows next week.

And for everyone else, From Now Until The tour's end - or until Copies run out, I am offering Copies of this limited edition version of SEKT on Vinyl by mailorder delivered to your doorstep for $16.00 to prankrec@ mindspring.com and everything outside of postage and fees will help the band get from point A TO B and back to their native Sweden! These will ship next week. Europeans can pick up the record through LA FAMILIA and a regular edition will be available shortly.

Thanks for the support and be sure to catch them Live this week!!!

NO STATIK 12" , MERDOSO 7" OUT NOW

2011-02-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY!

TWO NEW RELEASES OUT FROM PRANK:

NO STATIK " WE ALL DIE IN THE END" 12"

ORANGE VINYL FOR MAILORDER.

( 300 Orange, 300 Brown ( stores only), 300 Black Pressed)

Raging hardcore from the SF Bay area, NO STATIK's Debut 12" takes a straight forward 80's hardcore charge and detonates it with bursts of chaotic 90's hardcore rapid fire drumming, leaving Guitar leads sear and squeal out of the chaos as brutal vocals dredged and nail down dark, pointed lyrics. Six inventive blasts of thick, stop, start and rampage are on the A-side and the B-side is the title track, an experimental track that weaves the band's hardcore attack in and out of an ambient and rhythmic soundscape.

Vocalist Ruby was previously in MOMENTO MORI and SCROTUM GRINDER. Guitarist Mark was in LOOK BACK AND LAUGH and DESTROY!. Drummer B was in SCHOLASTIC DETH and END OF THE CENTURY PARTY. Bassist Robert was in ARTIMUS PYLE, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? and is in CONQUEST FOR DEATH. The band previously released a debut 7" on IRON LUNG RECORDS, which sold through two pressings in a matter of weeks.

MERDOSO "IN SILENCE" 7"

WHITE VINYL FOR MAILORDER ( 300 white, 300 black pressed)

San Francisco's MERDOSO, this three song debut builds on sturdy, straight ahead rushing guitars and solid drumming. Using the repetitive nature of D-Beat as it's Strength, Longer, measured doses of the rumbling, sturdy drum attack, scowling vocals and the unrelenting volley of brutally crude guitar riffage give this EP and unique, dark mood. The recording enhances the EP's enigmatic sound, an echoey quality similar to 80's European hardcore EP's but recorded by Jeff Leppard ( VOETSEK, ACEPHALIX) at San Francisco's Lennon Studios, balances out with the crispness of a modern recording. Features former members of PELIGRO SOCIAL, ACEPHALIX and STORMCROW.

Intense Hardcore from Sapporo, Japan. SLANG combines the Manic energy of the best of Japanese Hardcore, a hint of the tough edge of Early East Coast Hardcore, blasting D-beat and crushing metallic riffs.

Twelve tracks with absolutely searing riffs and highlighting Vocalist KO's harsh gutteral vocal attack. SLANG toured the U.S. for the first time in 2010, performing at Austin's Chaos in Tejas Festival and across the eastern half of the U.S. with MIND ERASER and WORLD BURNS TO DEATH. The U.S. Version of this release features exclusive artwork by the legendary classic rock artist Joe Petagno ( Motorhead) and is housed in a deluxe stoughton Gatefold and comes with a large 2-sided poster / Lyric insert.

NEW!! NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE & CROW

2010-09-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

TWO BRAND NEW RECORDS OUT THIS WEEK FROM PRANK!!!

NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE IS DISTRIBUTED BY MCR in JAPAN, AGIPUNK in EUROPE

NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE = Sold out at Prank. Thanks folks. Try FERAL WARD, SORRY STATE, GOING UNDERGROUND, NO IDEA, MCR or AGIPUNK for a copy!

VARIOUS ARTIST “NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE” LP

Europe = Buy from Agipunk
JAPAN = Buy from MCR

Instant classic of a Japanese hardcore compilation, NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE was originally issued in late 2008 on Japan’s legendary MCR label as a CD only release combining 3 tracks each by five Nagoya Bands = CLOWN, REALITY CRISIS, ZILEMMA, D-CLONE, and DEMOLITION to make one powerhouse compilation of distorted guitars, howling vocals and high energy hardcore punk.

CLOWN has previously released a Full Length CD on MCR of their anthemic, innovative and tough hardcore, which was subsequently issued in the US on vinyl on HARDCORE HOLOCAUST. REALITY CRISIS have existed since the 1990’s, with a UK stenchcore styled Dual vocal crust attack, they have toured the west coast and Portland’s cult WHISPER IN DARKNESS label has issued both of their CDs here on Vinyl. This compilation represents ZILEMMA's debut US release of their catchy melodic, guitar driven hardcore, D-CLONE deliver a noisy attack of high energy, total distortion! They recently toured the West Coast and released a split EP with San Francisco’s MORPHEME. DEMOLITION have a classic rocking brand of Japanese hardcore similar to their previous release on Portland’s BLACK WATER label. A split release with Italy’s Agipunk label, this release comes with a large 11” x 11” color booklet. CD version on MCR .

Youtube Playlist of the bands on the Comp HERE.

2010-08-05T14:23:00.000-07:00

I'm down to the last copies of the KYLESA "110 Degree Heat Index" 7". There's copies left on Purple and Bone white vinyl. As I've mentioned before I Don;t think I'll be re-pressing much of the old Catalog in the immediate future as the tendency in records now is increasingly towards the immediately new or the long gone collectibles, and a lot of the prank catalog sits somewhere in the somewhat difficult spot in the middle of that. We were very lucky to have Pushead do the cover for this record, with it;'s deluxe foil stamped packaging!

ACEPHALIX "APORIA" MRR REVIEW

2010-08-03T13:28:00.000-07:00

ACEPHALIX – “Aporia” LP
I’ve been seeing ACEPHALIX play since their very first gigs, and they’ve never stopped evolving over the years that they’ve been active. They’ve come a long way from their early NYHC-meets-peace punk sound, and this masterful LP is a new peak for the band. It’s very appropriate that Prank released this album, because there are definite hints of earlier Prank bands like HIS HERO IS GONE and DAMAD in the ACEPHALIX sound, though there are many other influences in the mix as well. Chief among them is the dash of “Humanity Is The Devil”-era INTEGRITY and vintage CRO-MAGS heard in the metallic crunch of the riffs and the unabashed embrace of guitar solos. In fact, this record is just shy of being a full-on metal record (double kicks and all), though one that is fundamentally rooted in punk. That being said, most metal bands don’t have the kind of tortured, nakedly personal (and occasionally deeply psycho-sexual) lyrics that grace this record. Seriously, the harshness and honesty of Dan’s vocals and lyrics are an integral part of what ACEPHALIX work as a band. All gushing aside, there are a few tracks that don’t quite work for me on the record (the instrumental being the primary offender) but taken as a whole I can’t think of another recent release in the metal-punk genre that is nearly as creative or as engaging as this. This is the soundtrack to your next suicide party. (AU)

A tungsten gnarl of immense grimy heaviness, the Debut LP by San Francisco's ACEPHALIX touches on influences of bands from divergent points of Punk, metal and hardcore- SACRILEDGE, CRO-MAGS, NAUSEA, MOTORHEAD, HELLSHOCK, ANTI-CIMEX but none of those exactly pinpoints where the band is at and where they continually evolving band is headed, as they brawl through attacks of D-Beat, dirge and thrash. Classic harmonized Metal leads and feedback fly as gutteral vocals spit and growl, with sturdy rhythms supporting the dark melodic undercurrent that drives this crushing, pounding, dense metal-punk hybrid. Massive production by Jef Leppard in the dark attic of Lennon Studios and mastered by George Horn Mastering. 300 copies on White available for Mailorder.

CROW " THE BEATING OF THE WINGS OF DESTRUCTION" 12" Picture Disc
$15 post paid in the U.S. $16.50 Canada $24.00 Europe/ Japan/ Australia.
Pure savagery! A five song 12" EP that fires a punishing volley of metallic riffs, explosive drumming and gravel-raked vocals, Tokyo's long running hardcore band CROW alternate between a long One track A-side of thundering dirge and a B-side of four tracks of unleashed, non stop hardcore fury. Issued in Japan in 2008 on CROW's own Crow records label, this received miniscule distribution stateside and has absolutely Burly cut'n'paste cover art by Crow's Vocalist, so was re-issued as a deluxe 12" picture disc for their recent U.S. Shows and appearance at Austin, Texas's "CHAOS IN TEJAS" festival. One time pressing from the original DMM master plates, limited to 800 copies.

Limited White vinyl for mailorder. 350 copies Pressed.
Marking the 2010 summer U.S. tour of Austin, Texas's WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and Sapporo, Japan's veteran hardcore band SLANG, this EP combines two guitar driven blasts of hardcore fury. SLANG have existed for over twenty years evolving between Classic Japanese fast hardcore and downbeat NYHC influences, their track " Our Grey Earth" rampages on SLANG's own path, incorporating the evolution of influences into a fast assault of hardcore that winds to a devastating guitar driven breakdown. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH similarly continue to evolve from caustic bursts of corrosive thrashing to a tempered attack stitched by a melodic guitar riff and glued solid with torrential drum bashing, volatile guitar blasts and harsh vocals, ensuring their track " Babylon Endures" continues their trademark sheer intensity. Limited Red Vinyl copies for Stores and distro only are limited to 650.

Tokyo legends Crow deliver two blasting tracks of doomy, metallic punk mayhem - "Flock Of Beast" and "Flock Of Beast 2." Thundering deeper into epic, mid-tempo territory on the A-side with Crow's trademark boisterous vocals over searing riffs, this EP echoes their recent "The Beating Of The Wings Of Destruction" 12" by exploding on the B-side into ferocious, fast paced hardcore. Crow's origins date back to the early Japanese punk scene of the 1980s, but they have attacked in the last decade with a renewed intensity, culminating this decade in three US tours and a second album "Bloody Tear" which was released in the U.S. by Prank in 2007. Clear vinyl re-press limited to 500.

Dark and bleak hardcore cornered in metallic rock, but thundering with determined intent. Fueled by the upbeat energy of Japanese hardcore, but drawing longer mid tempo compositions of shouted despair, pounded drum beats and screaming guitars influenced by UK bands such as Antisect and Amebix, the EP includes a rollicking cover of Amebix's "No Sanctuary." Crow has been on and off the hardcore scene for almost two decades, with numerous releases in Japan. This was their first US release in 2001, recorded in Oakland at Polymorph Studios and has been out of print for over six years, with cover art and design by Carl Auge of His Hero Is Gone and Drain the Sky. The Cover has been re-worked for this re-release and the EP issued on limited to 400 red vinyl.

Some of the songs are intense re-recorded versions of some of their classic tracks (including their Signature track "Give Up All Hope" that has been covered by numerous bands including the UK"s legendary Doom) as well as new recordings of songs from their recent ultra- limited Japanese releases. This is the official vinyl release of this LP, which was released as a CD-only on the Mangrove label in Japan. The LP sequence has slight variations in both track listing and mixes.

RECORD STORE ( DAY) OF THE PAST!

2010-04-16T18:23:00.001-07:00

Out on the Record hunt this morning, Digging through a pile of 78's, I found the article below from the San Francisco Call Bulletin From Nearly 60 years ago- January 30, 1951 about William Melander's Record Exchange which used to be in Downtown San Francisco's Tenderloin Neighborhood ( and now, apparently is either an apartment building or a parking lot)-one of San Francisco's legendary first used record stores- Anyway, Since tomorrow is "record store Day" ( and Prank has no exclusive releases , but if you're out anyway look for the new ICE NINE and DESOLATION records!) I thought We'd share this. You'll need to toggle between the two Jpegs to read it through, but enjoy how little the hobby has changed in half a century!

ICE NINE " Nobody's Son" 7"
Mailorder copies on Colored Vinyl - First Pressing= White Vinyl, Limited to 500.
ICE NINE from Indianapolis, Indiana represented everything that was great about resurgent extreme hardcore of the 1990's- a experimental willingness to throw anything against the wall to make it's point, incorporating the straight forward attack of 80's hardcore but pulverizing formula through burly Low end down beat, intensely Frenetic drumming, swirling guitar leads and the fragmentary Midwest stop and start twists. A Uniquely Original band like their contemporaries HIS HERO IS GONE, IN/HUMANITY, END OF THE CENTURY PARTY and with a sound way ahead of the same stop-melody-start-grind that became popular in the late nineties / early 00's by half a decade, Prank was originally slated to release an LP by ICE NINE in 1996, but the band broke up before it was recorded. Band members went on to play in TIME IN MALTA, BURN IT DOWN, MAHJAS, THE PROBLEMATICS, YOU WILL DIE and THE DREAM IS DEAD. A successful CD collection of ICE NINE's material from the Bovine, Ebullition, Rhetoric labels was released on Happy Couples Never Last in 2004 and in 2009, the band reunited with all original members to play Indianapolis's DUDEFEST. The response was so phenomenal ICE NINE wrote three new tracks that pick up right where they left off. Mastered by George horn with a cover by Bob Peele ( {mag] Fanzine. ICE NINE are currently writing a new album for Prank in 2010.

2010-04-04T13:20:00.000-07:00

ICE NINE from Indianapolis, Indiana represented everything that was great about resurgent extreme hardcore of the 1990's-

an experimental willingness to throw anything against the wall to make it's point, incorporating the straight forward attack of 80's hardcore but pulverizing formula through burly Low end down beat, intensely Frenetic drumming, swirling guitar leads and the fragmentary Midwest stop and start twists. A Uniquely Original band like their contemporaries HIS HERO IS GONE, IN/HUMANITY, END OF THE CENTURY PARTY and with a sound way ahead of the same stop-melody-start-grind that became popular in the late nineties / early 00's by half a decade, Prank was originally slated to release an LP by ICE NINE in 1996, but the band broke up before it was recorded. Band members went on to play in TIME IN MALTA, BURN IT DOWN, MAHJAS, THE PROBLEMATICS, YOU WILL DIE and THE DREAM IS DEAD. A successful CD collection of ICE NINE's material from the Bovine, Ebullition, Rhetoric labels was released on Happy Couples Never Last in 2004 and in 2009, the band reunited with all original members to play Indianapolis's DUDEFEST. The response was so phenomenal ICE NINE wrote three new tracks that pick up right where they left off. Mastered by George horn with a cover by Bob Peele ( {mag] Fanzine. ICE NINE are currently writing a new album for Prank in 2010.

This will be available the week of April 12th. Ordering information before. Wholesale orders being accepted now.

2010-02-02T17:57:00.000-08:00

Punk about town Anandi got diagnosed with Cancer last year, a long time fixture of the local scene, it was pretty devastating news to hear as She's super young for that to happen. Was over at Thrillhouse today and they were happy to report She was responding well to treatment, but also that people have organized a super benefit for her at 924 gilman on February 12th. The last time the Headliner of the Benefit played Gilman, people apparently started camping out a 5:30 AM, so I'll leave that to word of Mouth, but Grass Widow, Fleabag, Dirty Marquee and the Mutoid Men are playing And it's a great cause!!! See you there!! Get well soon Anandi!

LIPCREAM REUNION JUNE 27th, 2010 at LIQUID ROOM In Tokyo.

MORE FUN IN THE NEW DECADE!

2010-01-01T10:54:00.000-08:00

Happy 2010! It's my hope, my wish that this decade is filled with more peace, less fear mongering, less war, and less stupidity than , what we'll just call the "the OH's".

Rang in the New Year with the Classic L.A. band X. I always have mixed feelings about going to see old classic punk bands, punk bands are best seen at the height of when they are actually relevant, and the venue was SLIMS in San Francisco, Not the worst place to see bands, but I've seen enough Punk bands and performers go down hard there ( Penelope Houston, Rollins, HR from Bad Brains) to kind of consider it the Elephant's Graveyard of punk rock, where bands go to die with premium reserved Seating dinner tickets available for you to watch.

I taped "Under the Big Black Sun" onto a Certron Cassette off the local college radio station when it came out - they used to play LP's in their entirety I think mainly so you could do this, this was the same time - or shortly after- In the late 70's or early 80's when the U.S. was experimenting with Record rental shops where, like a video store, you could rent an LP, bring it home and tape it, return it for a few bucks. Unlike filesharing, this was largely squashed under the thumb of the then monolithic record industry, but without song titles and with endless repeat listens, this LP really ingrained itself into my 13 year old being. It wasn't until years later when I rediscovered the album on vinyl years later that I realized How many times I had listened to it, and how well I knew the record. Sure they're desperate, but Considering my teenage freeloading, the $50 new years gouge pricing for this show was fair enough, for the enjoyment I've gotten from the band's music over the years, I probably should've bought a shirt too. ( Make ones with the Cursive X, Giant silver on black. That's it, no "the band", nothing else on it, secret club style, will buy).

X isn't a band that people in the DIY punk circuit really pay much heed these days- (I got in a bit of grumbling online when kids a few years ago would loudly declare "GORILLA ANGREB are so much better than X"- which was just, well silly, gorilla angreb were a good band, but are largely honored by the consideration of the comparison). It's Kind of like how DEAD KENNEDY'S have tarnished in favor of harder bands that are more concurrent to where the DIY scene evolved to. With X and the DK's bands the guitar playing is paramount to the entire thing, and kinda seems like what both bands were doing was taking rockabilly Chuck Berry / Duane Eddy ( in billy Zoom's case) Link Wray / Dick Dale Surf ( in East Bay Rays case) 50's and 60's rock guitar, dredging it up out of the muck of '70's rock and the mounting backlash of the increasing insipidness of Disco. In the face of something like THIS X or the RAMONES, or the DEAD KENNEDY'S are musical atomic bomb, levelling the playing field so anyone can pick up a guitar , start a band and not have to save up for a MOOG, flare legged pantsuit and their producer's coke bill.

But that guitar sound and those aren't cultural touchstones for a younger generation of kids, there's not back ground in early Rock'n'roll that was laid by it's nostalgic revival in the early '70's and now You can hear "blitzkreig bop" over the loudspeaker at the supermarket, but as it happened, as it was pulled out of the ether and created, these things were like magic because the mainstream hadn't splintered into it's kaliedoscope of possibilities. Unheard music, Indeed.

Even the KBD- record collector circuit sometimes have an ambivalent attitude towards X, besides the ALLEY CATS and BLACK RANDY , were the only "dangerhouse" era band to make LP's ( not later collections like the recent BAGS, DILS and 80's AVENGERS collections - and oh yeah, wait "This album leaves exit wounds." ) while Active, and X is the only band to deliver multiple LP's ( and stunningly several good ones). maybe not an obscure enough discovery, maybe not distilled down to a handful of classic tracks that leave the promise of what could have been, or maybe that the band crossover into mainstream rock and rockabilly burnishes the raw edge. The late 70's Punk scene in Los Angeles remains one of the greatest punk scenes of all time for it's vibrancy, diversity, it's cleverness , you can spend a long time pondering where all the smarts went..

But it's not like X lacks fans -It's always kind of odd when I walk into a show and the crowd is my age or older. It only seems to happen when I see an old band, as Most crust and punk shows I go to, I'm usually in the upper stratosphere of geezer-dom with whoever else from Maximum Rock'n'roll decides to show up. San Francisco's transformation in the 1960's from a shipyard, industrial city to Hippie mecca has always colored the city in both many wonderful but also some negative ways. The 1960's soft San Francisco rock tradition that it rests on , well, largely sucks ( well maybe that's a bit harsh, but compared to THIS, yeah, it does) but it's always regaled as "You don't know, you weren't there, you wouldn't understand" capturing the broader arrogance - or at least perceived arrogance of that generation = something I never want to be in my realationship to a younger generation of punk and music fans, handing out an instant set of rules and guidelines to rebel against. Bite the upper lip, I own all the Gorilla Angreb records in multiple pressings.

X took a lot of criticism for inviting Ray Manzarek of the Doors to produce and Play on their first few LP's ( like this one I found online: "X’s Los Angeles would be the single finest rock and roll album ever crafted in the annals of history if Ray Manzareck had stayed in the production booth and off of the god damned organ." ) Though Oddly I found myself MISSING the organ when they played those songs live last night, that's how I know the songs.... It always stuns me that punk was so ANTI-Hippie less than decade after happened-But nothing has ever come to counter punk thirty odd years on in the same way - maybe the development of rave and revival of basically disco culture was, or maybe punk never reached the same critical mass or relevance in the U.S. TO garner such a strong counter reaction. That said, I'm a mixed bag on nostalgia and I look forward to the generation - it's probably the one that's about ten years old right now that will LOATHE the 80's, as it has nothing to do with them and they'll be free to create something new from the ruins. though, In all honesty, Maybe that generation is already here and I'm too blinded by perceptions and tastes of how and when I grew up discovering and formulating opinions about music to find an appreciation of it.

But The mixed bag I have towards Nostaliga, still brought me to see one of my favorite bands play some of my favorite songs.I had never seen X perform live, and watching Youtube kind of scared me off going a year or two back. It's not what it was, nor could it ever be, vocal chords are harsher and being sung from a different place in life. X Now, largely look like they should bouncing grandkids on their knees as opposed to touring, but it's a gift that they still do, as their strengths - Billy Zoom's ability to so effortlessly play guitar ( yes, he does, indeed deserve his own signature guitar), the skill of the drummer DJ Bonebrake, who must be in his 50's still has playing, and the songwriting of the first four records, where their set was largely culled, propelled this to be a pretty memorable way to ring in '10. I think John Doe must've been playing the same bass since the start of the band as the paint job was completely worn to the wood of the bass. People Yelled " I love you exene" between songs and I wanted to shout " I love you Billy Zoom!" . I love all the wonderful freaks, miscreants, and in his case, uber talented weirdos that created this culture. I often wonder where such extravagant, talented people went - and I guess now, you can just blog your pain or have actual alternatives for your talent than were offered in the late 70's. I could do without the christmas covers, but it was at least one set up for Zoom to solo. Mildest "pit" more like a seed at best, Moderate, largely greying crowd, but it's also the first show I brought my night driving glasses to to see better, so it happens to all of us. We showed up right before X started with enough time to order a drink and get to the front of the stage, and in lieu of Auld Lang Syne- or maybe more appropriately to the spirit of THAT song, bask in "World's a Mess it's in my Kiss"- what it was, what it remarkably still is and welcome the new year. Bravo and all the best to everyone for 2010.

2009-12-26T10:18:00.001-08:00

Six tracks of rampaging noise! Torrential waves of guitar distortion blast as vocals shout and swirl through the burning chaos, fueled by rapid fire drumming and thundering bass charges. This San Francisco band makes an explosive combination of Japanese-styled noisy hardcore ( KURO, GAI, CONFUSE, DISCLOSE) and heavy early 80's Finnish Hardcore influences - ( KAAOS, BASTARDS, KANSAN UUTISET ), with lyrics sung entirely in Japanese by a Tokyo Transplant and Japanese- American. MORPHEME's debut solo release after a quickly sold out demo tape and recently released a split 7" EP with Nagoya Japan's DCLONE, Recorded by Greg Wilkinson at Ear Hammer studios in Oakland, it captures the bands wild live delayed vocal effects and distorted attack. Comes in a hard pocket sleeve with an insert.

Morpheme were one of our favorite Live band's we saw this year. These Ep's have been pressed on Limited Edition White vinyl for the U.S. and Red Vinyl for Japan. Check a track of the EP at Prank's Myspace

AVSKUM JAPAN TOUR! HERE'S A FEW PHOTOS!

2009-12-21T20:48:00.000-08:00

SYOON (Isterismo) and SO Hardcore survives "Mr. Christmas"! these dudes rule and took super good care of us in Tokyo, they gave me a lot of hope for the future of the Japanese Punk scene. If you see SO at any time buy him a "party cocktail" in a can at the kombini from me, and I'll pay you back.
Gunnar and Hakan from avskum, fresh off the plane and shellshocked in Koenji. This tour was a very short one and there was little time for sight seeing.

We thought we were clever making the Avskum demo from 1982 on vinyl for this tour, more than one person showed up with faded shirts of the cover!!!...Old Swedish Punk is really well known in Japan, and after Asta Kask, AVSKUM are only the second old and active Swedish punk band to tour in Japan. Avskum played in Tsuyama, japan - a small rural town.. and members of the band SKIZOFRENIADJ'ed impossibly obscure Swedish Hardcore all night. Avskum's minds = blown, when's the last time you heard NISSE NOTTER?

Hiroshi from Dclone @ Soundcheck in Tsuyama Japan. Dclone were fantastic all nights. I didn't unfortunately get to see complete sets of many bands, hence not a lot of live band photos - but I am stoked on this photo of Yu-taro at the same show, (hey these are all off my phone!) TSUYAMA IS BURNING!!!!

Vocalist / Guitarrist of DISTURD was kind enough to pick us up at the train station and drive us back to Okayama, host us, and made some absolutely incredible miso soup that Avskum was a little scared to try in the morning. DISTURD are Great band that combines CROW-style metallic punk with maybe more of an Oakland Sabbath-metal punk vibe. They will do an LP and tour the states in the coming year.

AIchi from Reality Crisis the man who brought this whole tour together- Domo arigato gozaimashita. Reality Crisis Caused my rare, annual appearance in the slam pit twice for their classics off of "Discharge your frustration" that are up on their myspace, so killer. We awere lucky to have support from CLOWN, who totally killed it every night as well.

Post a great show in Nagoya at the Izakaya at 2 AM or later, Aichi, Shinii from D-Clone and vocalist of SYSTEM FUCKER.. I had the most incredible deep fried potato Mochi filled with cream cheese at this Izakaya and it was nice to share good food with good people.

Shin from FRAMTID and Avskum at the Osaka Train station. Avskum played an incredible all night show with Organism, Warhead, Framtid, Reality Crisis, Clown, Elekids, It was so overwhelming, I'm still processing it. Thank you Shin for your organization, honoring Avskum by having them play this special event and everything you do for the Osaka and Japanese punk scene.

Maybe I'll post some more later!

NEW PRANK RELEASE: AVSKUM 1982 DEMO 7" EP
