Off! – First EP

Everything is alright in the world when Keith Morris is fronting a new Hardcore band. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the members of the band backing him up are guys who have done time in Redd Kross and the Hot Snakes.

The Reactionaries – 1979

For any die hard fan of the Minutemen these Reactionaries recordings would no doubt be seen as absolutely essential listening.

Devil’s Brigade – Self Titled Album

Devil’s Brigade are led by Rancid’s Matt Freeman and play hard edged Punk mixed with Rockabilly and other Roots Rock. There’s some country influences here and maybe even a bit of Bluegrass, but none of these songs are mellow at all.
