Sons of Ishmael "Hayseed Hardcore" ep

Original cover

Repressing

This was Sons of Ishmael's first release. It was self-released and recorded on May 26, 1985 at Accusonic. This is an amazing ep. Sons of Ishmael, Toronto’s all-boy hardcore punk band, emerged in 1985 from the town of Meaford, Ontario (population 4400) as a reaction to small-town decadence. In June of that year the band released a 13-song 7” entitled “Hayseed Hardcore” which gained them notoriety and rave reviews in such magazines as Thrasher and MaximumRocknRoll. The first pressing sold out in 3-months. The songs found on here are:

1. Small Town Mentality
2. Break Free!
3. "Democracy"
4. Mr. Personality
5. Governors of Death
6. Todays Victim: Tomorrows Aggressor

7. Parasites
8. Explanation
9. Social Drinker
10. Condemned to Live
11. Another Groovy Tune
12. Follow the Leader
13. Service to Your Country: End to Your Life
