Threadbare - Self-titled 7"












This is the first release from the 90's hardcore band, Threadbare. They were from Minneapolis and although, weren't very influential, they had a large cult following. These songs mix the creativity and style of bands like 108, Burn and Dismay to make slower but extremely catchy and emotional hardcore. I would say that you can really feel the emotion coming from these songs and I love that. I definitely said something about posting their material, months (maybe even a year) ago so here it is! They released two albums after this before calling it quits.

For fans of: 108, Burn, Harvest, Mean Season

Anti-matter Compilation













I'll start by saying this a compilation full of many need-to-know 90's bands that were involved with hardcore or had something to do with it. If you want good bands from this era, start with this comp. I have a lot to say about this and you can just skip my bullshit, cut to the download and enjoy this. (I would probably do that.) Weirdly, I didn't know about this comp. until recently but it contains my favorite songs by multiple bands. This was released by Norman Brannon's (Shelter, Texas Is The Reason) Anti Matter Zine. Quicksand's "Shovel" is exclusive to this compilation and has a great break in it, definitely an overlooked song. "Arctic" by 108 (from Threefold Misery) is by far my favorite song by the band and it's featured on this comp in a little rawer mix. Threadbare's "Weatherman" is on here. I love Threadbare and I feel that they are way underrated. I'll probably be posting something by them soon. Undertow's "Kill" is featured on here which is definitely one of my favorite tracks by them and will get you hooked straight from the intro. There's a Supertouch exclusive to this comp. which I have never heard and it's great so don't miss that one. Farside is a band a love and even though "Moral Straightjacket" is 6 minutes long, it's worth it. There's some decent tracks by Outspoken, Snapcase and Strife, who I love but these songs don't do much for me. One of my favorite Lifetime tracks is on the jawn but it's kind of a whack demo. Mouthpiece delivers the youth crew madness. There's a lot of pretty good emo placed within it too if that's your thing. If you couldn't tell, I'm a huge 90's hardcore enthusiast and a collection of songs this good is fucking great to me haha.
