Human Junk - Demo tape

 I had a rip of this I got off another blog from years ago but it was really quiet and tinny sound so I made my own.  Human Junk was a Powerviolence band from Broadstairs, Kent in the style of Hellnation featuring Sam Richardson who ran Keep Screaming Records and previously played drums in Ripped To Shreds as well as drums and co-vocals with Luke Overin (who would go onto front Never Again) in Face Of Death.  I used to go see Human Junk loads, especially in the practice space run by the guitarist and drummer from Harrowed when they were still based in Cliftonville near Margate.  After Human Junk ended Sam went onto do Wedding, Post-Hardcore with Chris from Kind Eyes, the short lived Indiemo Pax Indigo and a couple of low-fi Indie bands, also with Chris The Silvery Moon and Help Yourself.

Crucifix - Nineteen Eighty-Four 7"

 Crucifix were an Anarcho Punk band from Berkeley, California.  They hold the distinction of being the only US band to release a LP on Crass' Corpus Christi label.  There's a fun story were they made a pilgrimage to England to camp on the lawn of the Crass communal house outside of London.  Source for this rip is the 2018 Kustomized Records reissue.

Thou - They Don't Love You Like I Love You 12"

 I've loved Thou since I discovered them on the now sadly deceased Stonerrock.com's MP3 Jukebox, but even I have to admit they're becoming the Sludge version of The Dirtbombs with the sheer amount of covers that they do.  This is an EP they have been selling on tour recently with covers that have been donated to compilation albums over the last few years.

As a bonus here's a 10" of acoustic demos for songs that wound up on the Rhea Sylvia EP/mini LP that I picked up at the same time.
