Sacred Love

Sacred Love - Love Songs Demo

Sacred Love - Dividing Lines

Sacred Love are a great hardcore band out of Baltimore, MD. If you dig Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, Burn and Bitter End then give these guys a listen, they'll have you bedroom moshing in no time. The demo is pretty rad but Dividing Lines is where it's at. Youngblood Records (one of my all-time favourite hardcore labels) released the demo 7" and the Dividing Lines 12" EP, so go and buy them both from them.

Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker: Albini Demo

Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker: Albini Demo

Seven songs off Kill Taker recorded by Steve Albini in his Electrical Audio Recording studio. A lot rougher around the edges than the eventual final product (these songs were all re-recorded by Ted Niceley and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios for the finished product). The drums sound fucking huge. Both the band and Steve think the final product was superior to these recordings, I just think this is a cool little demo that any fan of Fugazi should hear at least once.

REV 150: Past/Present

V/A - Past Present: Breaking Out The Classics

I remember when this compilation was announced like 4 years ago, and it has finally now been released. Modern(?) hardcore bands covering Revelation Records classics. A good chunk of the bands on here have broken-up, but whatever this thing is cool. Just close your eyes and pretend its 2006 and people still care about Down To Nothing and Set Your Goals. Ambitions' Bold cover is the best thing on here, but you really can't go wrong with classic Rev releases (they are classics for a reason).
