Mc RAD- Dominant Force Mini-LP (Red Music, USA, 1984 [manuf. in Holl])
And again one of the enigmatic order of the Mini-LPs (translate: extended playing extended plays). Joe over at Last Days of Man on Earth recently posted some hot shyte (Dr. Know and the 2nd Thrash Comp, “Barking Trucks and blazing Wheels”) and asked to hear the infamous McRAD debut. Well, I wouldn’t be the nice bloggin’ bloke I am if I wouldn’t hear his call. So here’s the full thing for ya and yes, the b-side is bad. We know that. I used to love this back then, and I still think it has its moments. Really quality stuff here.
Released on the same label that also brought us the cool and overlooked “Get off our Backs” Comp. LP with F.O.D., Y.D.I. (brutal!) and more sweets.
Skate or die! (Well, for me it would be skate and die, frankly. Can hardly walk on me tiny feet)

Inspired by Joe’s post, I dug out my vinyl copy of this one, and ripped a few of the tracks for a skate-core compilation I’m pulling together for our 20-year-old babysitter (a guy)… how (un)punk rock is that! It sucks to be an old fuck…
Anyway. These guys were a local band for me as a little hardcore kid. Loved them live, but was always disappointed by this record. Still doesn’t really do it for me.
YDI, on the other hand!!! I know this isn’t a request line, but if you have a copy of ‘Out For Blood’ you could post, it would ring in my 2007 on a high note (or low sinister growling note, to be more precise). Lent my copy to a friend one summer during college, never got it back (boo hoo).
Likewise for Get Off Our Backs… went to rip my copy along with the McRad tracks only to discover a very nasty scratch down most of Side 2…
Lovin the site. Excellent selections, and great quality rips. Gracias from one of those SSD-inspired boy scouts from the USA.

Thank you, Timmy! Glad you appreciate this post. Peter KBD found it horrible …
As for that YDI CD – is it available still? I was just going to rip the 7″, the comp tracks, some of the (horrible) LP and the great demo, but with the CD availavble, I might not do it.

Yep… the YDI CD is out there for a mere $10.50. Thanks for the tip, Timmy.
‘Get Off Our Backs’ still firmly and forever out of print…. nudge, nudge, wink wink.
Erich, a New Years donation headed your way from me as well. Cheers.

hi erich,
you supply excellent tracks! not all your posts are my cup of tea. but those who are, are icing on the cake of my vinyl > MP3 back up.
since you’ve been around for a bit and have excellent taste in hard core: any chance you have / will post The Insults’ 7″ EP – Thrasher go home?
1985-ish, 12 tracks or so and i think some of them went on to back up GG Allin.
it’d be appreciated – so far, thanks for your excellent posts.

Peter can fix this. Fix this Peter.
You can post tracks from the great pop-punk Album GG Allin and the Jabbers (Always was Always etc….)
This would prove that not all poppy music is created by wimps.
PETER! Do not be the wimp. Make sure to post One Man Army of the GG. Be the One Man Army. Not the one man Peter Wimp. Be the One Man Peter Army. Yes, bask in the strength rays of pea-size dots in pink light in glitter fusion brain matter glitter vomit, excrete-throw-hit-target hit self bleed. Do not be the wimp.

Whatever happened to The Boston Batwanger?
I DON’T KNOW!
Than the earth tilts (tilt’ Tilt’!)
and the smell of a thousand Jews crawl from the Islamic beard, all of Gods armies draw swords in unison to wage war against Pete and the Boston Batwanger!
Screams shatter glass and bone as war chants grow louder.
Des Des Destroy! Howls the mouths of the dead, as the tumors grow large on the young Angel’s head.
Piss pore, pistol, bullet and urine shot through holes in heaven’s ripped gown. Die kill smile, Jesus in frown.
The heavens decompose and fall from the skies like rotted latex wilted. Die, meal of flies.
