Short Sharp Shocks Revisited

PAINTBOX (Jpn) - Singing Shouting Crying (1999)

{First off, I must confess I haven't been in the mood to write at all lately-- so I'm gonna give y'all a Reader's Digest version this time around.}

Expertly executed Motörthrash/Burning Spirits-style hardcore featuring the late, great Chelsea on guitar--whom you should remember from thee most excellent Death Side. Paintbox are much in the same vein, with blistering tempos fused with the same kinda soaring, melodic lead fretwork you'd expect on a Thin Lizzy or Iron Maiden album.

VARIOUS - Killed By Hardcore Vols. 1-3

Essential (bootleg) international hardcore comps from the same folks who brought ya the "Killed By Death" series, Redrum Records; before the series got deregulated and every beer-bellied, clueless old punker started yankin' out limp powerpop crap I wouldn't wipe my ass with. I think the track lists tell the story far more eloquently than I ever could-- if not, y'all best get Googlin' to edumacate yer damn selves.
