HARTO “respirando guerra”  7”
A short-lived hardcore punk band from CA founded by Martin Sorrondeguy in late 2003, when Limp Wrist was inactive. They were around briefly, released one demo, and played only a handful of shows. Harto also had members from Kontraattaque, Disidencia and Hit Me Back. £6.00
 

 
 
OJO POR OJO “paroxismo” 7” Flexi (EP, single)
Mexican City punks Ojo Por Ojo released this EP in 2019. This EP blended brutal realism with necro nastiness as Ojo Por Ojo dug deep into the crime, corruption, and violence they’ve witnessed. Primitive. Pulverizing. Absolutely essential!! £5.00

1990 hardcore from Mexico finally reissued!  £12.00

SOLD OUT - AGONISTA “embusteros” Format: 10” (EP, single sided silkcreened)
- AGONISTA consists of San Diego and Tijuana scene veterans who in the past 25 years appeared in BUMBKLAATT, SWING KIDS, SOME GIRLS, RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE and SPANAKORZO, to name a few. In contrast to some of their previous outlets, AGONISTA plays what they themselves might consider a rather “traditional” brand of hardcore: a tight crustcore/’90s Swedish HC approach sung both Spanish and English, something along the lines of DISRUPT, STATE OF FEAR, SEVERED HEAD OF STATE, UNCURBED that was found in the Prank or Distortion Records catalogs a generation back. AGONISTA carries on the tradition particular to the Tijuanese crustcore style that centered around DISCORDIA (members of which went on to BUMBKLAATT and COÄCCION in the ’00s). Being a cross-border band between the US and Mexico, they directly feel and experience the complex reality between the two countries in their daily lives. Their output seems to be the direct friction from the socioeconomic differences spawned from the systematic oppression of people’s lives tangled by racism, drug abuse, financial instability, and violence. Embusteros sounds like a burst of the filthy remnants that have been forcefully hidden underneath the rug by the “America’s Finest City” and the feeling of anger and frustration in order to survive in “Sin City.” £12.00
 

 
 
OUT OF STOCK - HELLMAISTROZ “en el cielo está el infierno” Format: LP (gatefold)  -
I hope you’re ready to go fucking nuts, because this one is some solid-as-fuck crusty hardcore out of Monterrey, Mexico that will have you solo-circle-pitting your bedroom ’till you puke. This is that straight-ahead, heavy-hitting D-beat pummeling that few can deny.  It’s as they say: all killer, no filler. Lyrics are in Spanish, and from my limited understanding of the language I gathered that they think that Nazis and politicians are shit. Features a cover of “Stepping Stone,” the MINOR THREAT version, but they made it about beer …I think. For those that hate to rock: stay well clear. Everyone else, keep an eye out for this one. (Reviewer Mike Battleaxe) £12.00
