Ruination "Year One" CD

This is a discography CD that collects Ruination's recordings from their first year of existence on one CD. The first eight songs are from an ep that was originally self-released and later pressed by Youth Attack. The next three songs are from a compuilation titled "Seven Deadly Sins". Track 12 is from a "Short, Fast, + Loud" comp. Track 13 was intended for a comp for Inside Front #3 but never came out. Tracks 14 - 17 were for the split with They Live. Tracks 18 - 21 were released as an titled "Dead Horse" released by No Idea. The remainder of the CD is a live show in Philadelphia from January 3, 2001 by Jon Hiltz, the former drummer from Rorschach. Here is a review I wrote of the release:

A collection of a number of hard-to-flnd releases by this ex-member band. I have to say that it is awesome to fill some of the gaps in trying to collect this group's material. I also have to say that the equalization of the sound also helps bring cohesion to this otherwise scattered project, Chris, from the SWARM, has very distinctive vocals and Ebro's CHARLES BRONSON style drumming is unmistakable. Andy, from BLOODPACT, plays guitar and draws infleunces as wide as MANLIFTINGBANNER and MOTORHEAD. The thick rolling basslines are shared by Mike Haliechuk - a local DIY promoter with a heart of gold - and Jaime Towns - who played for ANTI-FLAG and TEEN CRUD COMBO, I strongly urge you to pick this up as much for the originals like "No One Can Save You", as for the covers of the FREEZE's "Sacrifice Not Suicide". I'm not sure why the live set is on here. But this collection of the band's first year of output will save you a lot of headaches in tracking down their originals. The "Inside Front" song is unreleased as far as I know. And the equalized sound makes a difference on their earlier material. Highly recommended, (Plus/Minus / P.O.

Knucklehead "Voice Among Us" CD

Knucklehead had become a four piece adding Kris on drums and freeing up Kyle just to do vocals. "Voice Among Us" had also come out on Whiskey Voice Records and was recorded in January 2001. Here is a review I wrote of the release:

This is the great new voice for Canadian street punk. Great tuneful punk, with a left leaning message like the CLASS ASSASSINS or MARILYN'S VITAMINS. The group back up vocals really draw out a '77 chaos punk sound, but their speed and rolling bass lines create catchy songs similar to PROPAGHANDI. It's like someone took an oi band and introduced them to fast aggressive pop punk and didn't let them get watered down by the experience. New school oi from out west that'll blow you away, It is great to see this scene making a comeback. (Whiskey Voice records / 1008 8* Street SE / Calgary, AS / T2G 2Z4 / e- mail: whiskeyvoice@knucklehead.ca)

1. Voice Among Us
