SPECTRA HAWK - Final Recording April/May 2009

OK seeing as were splitting up in a couple of months I thought I'd stick this up as I guess it's not gonna come out anywhere now. It was recorded at No recording by John Hannon. The 3 tracks are, 1 Destroyer/Ressurector & Arbitrator. 2 Monkey In A Bucket. There's a pretty cool 'Twisted Sister' sample at the begining of 'Destroyer'. Go get it here.

So we ended up not splitting up, but getting a new guitarist,a change in sound and a name change, 'Regimes'.

Helvis - Genocider 7" 1998

Wow! what can I say about this record?. It's just sounds totally sick, it's loud. raw, sloppy and sounds like it's been recorded in a dustbin but thats what make it great. This is the 1st release by Helvis it was recorded in Sept 1998 which is a couple of years before I joined full time. The line up here is Chris Marygold bass (later guitar), Steve Watson guitar (he went on to form the awesome Ravens Creed), Stu Toolin guitar, Kev Frost from Varukers on drums and Dorian Walters on vocals (who later went onto the insane Black Eye Riot). This is the only recording by this line up as it fell apart at a gig thats gone down in Nottingham punk folklore known as 'The Six Minutes Of Shame'. My band Sixhundredandsixtysixdead were in support that night so I had the pleasure to witness this shambolic event, Great stuff! O Yeah me and Marvin sing back ups on this. It came out on Weird Records in 1998. If you like it, I've just seen 6 copies for sale on ebay now.

A beautiful moment from the '6 Minutes Of Shame' above.
Get Genocider here.

HARD TO SWALLOW almost everything.

I was gonna post up all the HARD TO SWALLOW stuff but it seems I've been beaten to it. So check out the Underclass/HTS split , Manfat/HTS split and 'Protected' Lp here, there all nice copies from the vinyl. Which is great because the 'Protected' Lp was remastered and sounded much fatter than the CD. Thanks to Fugitive Equilibrium for that and being an awesome blog.

Lil at Household Name Records tells he has a few copies of the 'Protected' vinyl left, so if you enjoyed the download please support his label and try and pick one up here.

You can check out Canvas/HTS split, Demo and comp tracks here. at 99 Miles of bad blogs.

When I buy a mp3 deck I'll upload the HTS 'Live in Leeds' 10" and I'll try and get around to finding some nice live/practice versions of the unrecorded songs. So keep checking.

OK heres the version of 'Hard to Swallow' that was on 'Decade of Dissidence Worst of the 1in12 Club vol14/15' CD. Its the same except its got a nice sample from 'Nuts In May' at the start.
