runt-go the whole hog LP

criminally under-rated LP from 96.
anarcho/peace punk vibe to this one, that almost gets folky at times, but veers into aggressive hardcore territory on some songs. never really got much recognition when it was released (despite making tim yohannan of maximum rock'n'rolls top ten at the time) probably due to poor distribution.
not sure of the rest of the line-up, but i know it features dean of heist/nailed down/rupture on drums and fritz who went on to form the new husseins.

faces of death-self titled LP

nicked the link for this one from pauls perth music blog.
death metal from the early 90's featuring darek, rupture's first drummer. his skill had obviously improved by this point and its a lot tighter than the rupture records he performed on.
heaps of vocal and guitar effects on this record to make it extra evil sounding, in a very metal way.

hugga mugga-tape

technically this shouldn't be on this blog as its not a perth band, but i had been hunting for it for a while and it is related to perth bands (as it is a project featuring patto on drums, who went on to drum for the first incarnation of nailed down in 93 or so)
i had originally heard that this was a band patto had done after he was in nailed down, but the liner notes state this was recorded in 1990, which precedes nailed downs existence.
it is a two piece (patto on drums and vocals and dean on guitar, bass and vocals) so its safe to assume this is a recording project. musically its very much early 90's crust-core. blast beats and UK riffs, kind of similar to disrupt, though quite loose in its performance and the recording quality doesn't help (which was probably made much worse by the age of the tape i ripped it from) it also features a few rather jokey songs, which seems to be common of smaller bands of this time.
also features a shitload of covers. napalm death, doom, extreme noise terror, electro hippies, condemned.

threshold of pain-1983 demo

very early perth hardcore from 1983. these guys were apparently heavily influenced by discharge, though their music is more of an interpretation than straight up cloning, intentional or not. fast, noisy, loose and punk as shit. almost confuse levels of chaotic distortion.

thanks to dan for uploading the full 13 tracks!

all in deep shit-fuckface ep

7 song ep recorded early 2003. this material was written and recorded after the band officially broke up, due to vocalist robin moving to melbourne and as such has vocal duties filled by members the band (myself and rhys) and simon whitfield (who went on to sing for halo of knives). songs were written over the course of a month and then promptly recorded. the songs have more of a technical and chaotic sound to them to earlier material & all songs have time-based lyrical content.

the recording was released by fuckface records on business card size cds in a red cloth case with the above image printed on it. also included inside was a sticker.

hailstones kill 200-june 19 1932

technical grindcore recorded 2004 and released in 2004 on grindhead records. the band consisted of matt, jon (from sex at gunpoint & ken oath) nick (from inter alia) dan (from jed whitey & cobra clutch) and myself.
it should be noted that the and was no where near as tight live as this recording, a lot of studio wizardry (courtesy of aidan barton) being involved.

there was a good deal of humour involved with the band, hence the scattered, almost wacky structures of the songs and odd live performances.

the title of the release is a reference to the event that inspired the bands name- on june 19 of 1932, in the hunan province of china, farmers and citizens faced with drought amassed to pray for rainfall. the hailstorm that soon followed killed approximately 200 persons.

burn for me-2nd demo

this is the 2nd demo by burn for me. probably from around 2003/2004? more melodic detal metal, though a lot more blasty and technical than previous material.

there was one more recording session after this one, though i think only one song was recorded, which veered more into straight up technical death metal. the song was compiled with the previous 2 demo's on a cd they distributed on tour.
