Stolen from Million Dollar Records: Absolutely frightening and feral hardcore punk racket from my hometown Geelong circa 1985, unearthed by SHORTFUSE RECORDS. OK, so, imagine a skittish version of Septic Death, early Asocial, Protes Bengt, Disorder mixed with United Mutation and amphetamines to raise the aggro and blur the lines (and yes, you can probably throw in 7 Minutes of Nausea). I don’t know if that really does it justice. Absolutely stupid vicious with terrifying vocals and actual riffs and weirdness informed from other directions poking through here. Being close to home, I have a lot of affection for this. Originally on a tape that only Clint would own. In the Death Sentence discography CD it claims DS as Australia’s answer to Siege. Well, no fucken way! This is way more intense, that title belongs to The Tribe!

Perhaps the fastest band in the world in 1985 was not Napalm Death and was actually in sleepy Geelong, who woulda thunk it?! Oh, and there’s a cover of Rudimentary Peni ‘Bloody Jellies’ on speed for good measure. Comes with a nice A3 poster insert with photos. An absolute behemoth of a record here THIS IS AUS HARDCORE, with flannos and all.

Tom GS: Shortfuse Records follows up their fantastic Heresy deluxe 7” reissue with something even more insane. A deluxe reissue of this 8 song EP by cult 80s Australian band The Tribe. Recorded in 1985, and never released on vinyl, The Tribe takes on the ramshackle raw and noisy hardcore styling of what was exploding out of the darkest underbelly of the UK hardcore scene, and set to work infecting Australia with it. I’m talking, this record is for fans of Disorder and Chaos UK done faster and more raw, like Plasmid, Asylum, Skumdribblurz, or something akin, but maybe more unhinged to their fellow countrymen Death Sentence, who released a 7” the same year.
