I originally wanted the first BCT comp tape, «First Strike», to be the next post on this blog. I had already begun editing the rip, when I started googling some background info. Well, as it seems, the tape was re-released on CD a while ago on the excellent Enterruption label outta San Francisco.
So here we go with a 7″ comp that can’t really compete with «First Strike». Sure, «Nuke your Drink» draws a lot of charme from the fact it’s so pisspoorly produced, like all Positive Force releases of that time. In fact, that’s what gives this extra credit for being one of the shittiest sounding records ever released.
It starts off with one of the forefathers of Boyscout-ism in HC, 7 SECONDS. I sometimes seriously wonder how I could have been so deeply into this band. Seriously, I can’t listen to these posi-bands anymore, unless I’m totally wasted. But maybe that’s what the purpose of straightedge and posi-bands always was: You’d play these songs when you were stinking drunk, the bands knew that, and hoped for a subliminal effect on the drinkers’ subconsciousness. It would sink in while the listeners drink. Drink to sink, you know. I mean, why would a sober person and one that never drinks feel the urge to listen to music that tells him not to do what he wouldn’t do anyway? Oh well, then we get SUBTERFUGE with “Legal who?”, a wonderful midtempo song with a fast bass and a funny intro. NO DEAL blast off with great energy. URBAN ASSAULT would totally shred, but the song has the worst sound on this comp. JACKSHIT have a great fast song, much in the vein of the band’s one and only EP. THE REMAINS show a strong UK-Oi-influence which I could do without. Whenever I hear this song, I already wish it was over. THE EXPELLED (nope, not the british band) are more down my alley, Mongo-HC of the good sort. THE YOBS close this EP with what sounds like sound compared to the shoebox recordings of the other bands and the annoying singer rules. Almost of SAVAGE CIRCLE quality, if you ask me.
PS: I misread the title for many many years. I kept reading «Nuke your Drink», because I thought it could be some anti-nukes meets straightedge statement. Haha. Now I learn that Dink means Double income, no kids. Does Dink also mean like dick or something? Looking at the back cover could make one think so, haha. But then again, what sense would it make to (or not to) nuke one’s dick? And could you nuke a dick alone, at all? Wouldn’t the rest of the man be nuked too? Or was there talk of some supersmall anti-dick-nukes? So many questions.

hi
first off, thanks for all the great music
second off, i just burst out laughing reading about 7 seconds, which i haven’t done in quite a long time from just a couple sentences on a web site. thanks for that.
[Reply]
Yes, this ep would have been better if it had a better quality recording. I remember wanting to hear this obscure ep real bad and was disappointed at the shitty sound quality. The best song on here is “legal aid” by Jackshit and too bad we can barely hear it!
[Reply]
pretty poor compilation
[Reply]
Hi Erich, any chance you could post Chaotic Dischord’s Fuck the World EP if you have it? I can’t find a quality rip anywhere.
[Reply]
Sure, right after I posted some Exploited and The Enemy and Abrassive Wheels.
[Reply]
Yeah, I’m sure you have lots of cheesy metal to post before too :roll eyes:
[Reply]
…I’m also hanging out for some Vice Squad as well…wonder what Beki Bondage is up to these days? (hehe). Anyhow great writing as ever – & yes yr 7 Seconds comments are spot on…funny how you listen to this kinda stuff later on in life & the righteousness of it makes you gag.
[Reply]
@ anonymous: that’s a great idea. I too think it’s about time to let the Metal do the talking again! Bang that head that doesn’t bang!!
[Reply]
@Admin: You’re retarded. 90% of your posts are total crap and you’re an stupid arrogant who thinks he has the best blog on the web lol. At least accept some good suggestions you fool. Oh, and METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!
[Reply]
So why even bother and still ask me to post some stuff, sweetheart? If you want to hear this and that, go and buy it, kid. And then, when you have your 30 “oldschool records” together, you can start and publish your own blog, which, of course, will be much better than mine. Go ahead!
[Reply]
hey anonymous(e): why so angry only cuz admin doesn’t want to post what you wanna hear? retarded? haha, c’mon ….
kbdrecords & goodbadmusic: best blogs that set new standards in the music blog world.
[Reply]
Heavy metal jävlar, it´s really is time for some metal now. How about some Sodom demos?
[Reply]
@ Anonymous you fucking wanker get lost!!!
[Reply]
Wow, I don’t remember this record sounding this bad. I guess I wasn’t very discerning in my youth. Did Urban Assault ever do their own 7″ or LP? I remember liking their song on (I think) Party Or Go Home. I’m assuming this is the Tahoe one (aren’t there like 4 U.A.s) since this is a “Nevada Hardcore Sampler”.
[Reply]
@::beatMe:: How does it feel being a retarded cocksucker son? Go kiss Erich’s stupid ass a little more y’all bunch of gheys
[Reply]
Erich, how come you won’t put up the Loverboy demo tape??? It is pure headbanging, smash my hand with a hammer, pure adrenalin pumped metal!!!
[Reply]
Yeah, we’re all ghey. At least I am, anonymous. “You made me feel that way cause with you I wanna be ghey.” Love and kisses and barmy army.
[Reply]
man when I’m reading comments like the one from the ungrateful nameless little fuck I come to realize how much of a drag it can be running a blog like yours. so to cheer you up: this blog IS the best and posting chaotic disfucks would ruin it forever
[Reply]
I enjoy the writing a lot more then the actual comp. Ehh wait there’s some good shit here: Jackshit, Expelled, Yobs and 7 Seconds. I lost interest in 7 Seconds as soon as I heard The Crew. What a lame effort.
[Reply]
Yeah, The Crew really sucks, i mean, the songs are good and all, but the fucking SAME drum beat all over… it’s like they have hired the drummer from intense mutilation to play session drums on the record.
Best 7 Seconds EVER (my opinion, that doesn’t mean shit): their 2 songs on the Cleanse the Bacteria compilation. Fuckin A, I say (the lyrics are cheeeeesy though “We’re gonna fight” hahaha)
[Reply]
I must admit that I enjoyed myself quite a bit when I put on “The Crew” this afternoon. Sure, it’s a dumb record in a way, but you can’t deny the power it has. It’s like some kind of agitation record you could use in nursery homes.
[Reply]
I like everything 7 Seconds did up to and including New Wind. Then again I guess I just have a high tolerance level for this kind of thing. I did earn my merit badge in Posicore when I was in the Cub Scouts.
[Reply]
I happen to still like 7 Seconds. As for these assholes that always talk stupid shit about Erich…why do they waste their time??? I always talk stupid shit, but never towards a man that is giving us music that maybe we have never heard before. Thanks Erich!! Even if some of it is lame metal…hahahaha
[Reply]
The unreleased 7 Seconds – United We Stand record was really good.
[Reply]
I personally think the Remains track is the best thing about this 7″.
[Reply]
eddie, I agree with you with that 7 SECONDS unreleased´83 material. My favourite stuff by them.
[Reply]
I second the call for a Sodom demo.
And perhaps Tormentor/Kreator as well!
[Reply]
Tom Angelripper (I think it was him, or was it Grave Ventilator?) generously sent me both Sodom demos after I had sent him some sort of a stupid Hellhammer fanboy letter, saying Hellhammer would blow Sodom out of the water and shit like that. Haha, he was such a nice chap. Unfortunately, I used both tapes as blank tapes to record walkman compilations over them, so I’m afraid I cannot post any Sodom. Would love to hear those again very much, though. I always thought of sodom as a joke band, but still, I’d love to hear those tapes again. Tormentor / Kreator: Horrible, horrible band.
PS: Never heard the 83 LP by 7 Seconds and didn’t know this was floating around. I have a bootleg 7″ with some demo stuff, called “3 cohrds politics” or something – are these songs from that LP? Where can I hear the LP?
[Reply]
“If we can walk together, why can’t we rock together?” Can’t you feel the love and unity in their songs? I do, and it sends chills up my spine!
[Reply]
About 7Seconds – the ’83 material was released in 1991 as “Old School” LP
[Reply]
There’s also a new (?) 7 Seconds LP with all three of the demo cassettes on it- Drastic Measures, Socially Fucked Up, and 3 Chord Politics.
[Reply]
The wretched 7inchpunk site has this already. And “Nuke Your Dink” is probably referring to the penis, not Double Income, No Kids. It doesn’t make much sense, but in a way it makes perfect sense. Fuck the barmy army. What the fuck does “barmy” even mean?
[Reply]
I answered my own question.
barm·y (bär’mÄ“) Pronunciation Key
adj. barm·i·er, barm·i·est
1. Full of barm; foamy.
2. Eccentric; daft.
So they’re either stupid or full of foam. Sounds about right.
[Reply]
Can you please upload Subterfuge’s “Who’s The Fool” LP? I found it on “an american punk in suburbia” blog, but the link was dead.
[Reply]
The sound quality on the Subterfuge record isn’t much better than this 7″. I for one like the terrible sound on this compilation lol.
[Reply]
by far the best thing on NUKE YOUR DINK is the last song by a nev. band called THE YOBS…thy also released an l.p. on POSITIVE FORCE RECORDS in 1986 called THE WILD HUNT… i know this because i was THE YOBS bassist from 1980 until 1991 when the members parted ways. myself, one of THE YOBS guitar players and a new drummer went on to form the band MADAM HELL (not the German MADAM HELL…they suk) and released DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS in 1992…more to come…HANX ALOT
