Radiation Records presents the very early Discharge 1977 demos on CD. The whole record screams of the early days of young, snotty, pissed off punks filled with teen angst. If you're a huge Discharge completist want to see the very start of this hugely influential band, or if you are really into raw, primal '77 punk sound, you should check this out. A cool document from the very beginning of what was to become a legendary influential group. Digipak with obi strip.

Radiation Records present a reissue of The Exploited's Punks Not Dead, originally released in 1981. Born of working class roots in Edinburgh, Scotland, The Exploited emerged from the punk underground in 1981 with the release of their debut LP, Punks Not Dead. A direct reaction to Crass' Punk Is Dead, The Exploited brought to the early '80s all the fire, speed, and attitude of 1977's first wave, with a street/Oi! swagger that was fresh. Peaking at #20 on the UK charts, Punks Not Dead was the best-selling independent record of 1981. Another essential piece of the UK Oi! scene of the early 1980s.

Radiation Records present a reissue of The Exploited's Troops Of Tomorrow, originally released in 1982. In the early '80s, British punk took a turn toward hardcore and the Exploited (along with G.B.H, Disorder, etc.) led the charge. The beat was fast and furious, the politics ferocious, and the magenta mohawk became state of the art. This album is blessed with great production, something many hardcore albums lack, meaning the froth and fury don't come across as a total muddle. Moreover, the machine gun beat comes with hooks that leave you humming along with the tunes. It's raw, loud, and a downright classic. This is a crucial album in the evolution of The Exploited.

Originally released by Posh Boy and BOMP! in 1980, The Nuns' debut LP is one of the classic pieces of San Francisco punk rock history. Formed in 1976 and fronted by the late, great Jennifer Miro on vocals and keyboards, and featuring songwriting contributions from alt-country legend Alejandro Escovedo (brother to Pete and Coke, and uncle to Sheila E.) -- who left before the recording of the album -- The Nuns bridged the gap between punk rock, new wave, and goth rock.

Legend has it that The Blood were "discovered" by Cockney Rejects vocalist Jeff "Stinky Turner" Geggus on the top deck of a bus in Charlton. What they were all doing on the South East London bus has never been fully explained! Still, it was Jeff who introduced Coming Blood (as they were then known) to Sounds journalist Garry Bushell and, suitably impressed, he offered them a spot on the fourth volume of the Oi! compilation series, Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot (1982). It wasn't just the punk scene that took to the band, the more open-minded in the metal fraternity also embraced them, making them one of the first punk-metal crossover bands, equally at home with followers of the Anti Nowhere League or Motorhead. Though the initial career of The Blood may only have been brief, the two singles, 12", and album they released have all stood the test of time, many of the songs later covered by bands not even born when they were first recorded!

Originally released a mere eight months after their groundbreaking 1978 self-titled debut album (RADCD 003CD), The Kids' second album is a pure masterpiece of straightforward punk rock. A little less raw than their previous material, but still far from the new wave sounds the band started experimenting with on their following records, Naughty Kids remains one of the best examples of non-UK '70s punk and definitely a mandatory addition to the collection of any Killed by Death fanatic! This reissue also includes five bonus tracks recorded live in 1978. CD digipack with obi strip.

Adventurous southern California punk trio Agent Orange was the first band to mix surf rock with punk. The group was formed in 1979 in Placentia, a small town close to Fullerton and Anaheim, by front man Mike Palm on guitar and lead vocals, Steve Soto on bass, and Scott Miller on drums. That early line-up recorded the classic version of "Bloodstains" in 1979 as a demo produced by Daniel R. van Patten (of the group Berlin). A year later it was included on the seminal Rodney On The Roq compilation album released by Posh Boy Records. Meanwhile, James Levesque had replaced Steve Soto (Adolescents) and the new line-up released their own self-produced and self-released 7" EP in 1980. A year later, the group signed with Robbie Fields' Posh Boy Records for their debut LP, Living In Darkness, co-produced by Fields and former Simpletones guitarist, Jay Lansford. The album was recorded at Brian Elliot's store front studio in North Hollywood (a few years before Elliot struck gold writing Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach"). A milestone in California punk rock history. Includes five bonus tracks. CD digipack with obi strip.

Never-before-heard unreleased junkshop glam gold dust from the genre's No.1 band. Portsmouth's Hector are widely regarded as the very best of the junkshop glam rock bands introduced to us in the early 2000s by the RPM's Lipsmackin 70's CD series. Recently discovered archive analog tape recordings found in the attic of front man Phil Brown form this unique LP. The band's original DJM singles together with "Demolition", an unreleased third single, join forces with outtakes, demos, live and rehearsal recordings to make this release an unmissable opportunity for glam rock fans worldwide to hear more from the band whose anthem "Wired Up" has been adopted as a battle cry by a new audience of fans with books, fanzines, radio shows and club nights proudly named after it. Hector's "Wired Up" was released in 1973. It had all the ingredients of a hit single. It should have topped the charts and launched a spectacular career for the band. In a fair world, the name Hector would be mentioned alongside bands like Sweet and Slade. Unfortunately, timing and luck weren't on their side. The product was there, the press coverage was there, the Radio 1 airplay (which was everything back then) wasn't and the kids that did hear it must have been deaf, dumb and blind. The plug was finally pulled in 1975 after their second single "Bye Bye Bad Days", another poky punch of proto punk dressed up in a velvet glove, also failed to become a heavy-hitter. Demolition (The Wired Up World Of Hector) is not a phoenix from the ashes. It is Pompey* from Pompeii. Tunes from the ruins. Glamor in amber; perfectly preserved. A second chance to make a first impression. Assembled by Lorenzo from Giuda in full cooperation with the band. Liner notes by Tim Orchard. Remastered by Danilo at UFO-HiFi studios. Obi strip.

Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is the debut studio album by English hardcore punk band Discharge, released by Clay Records. The album is characterized by a minimalistic approach of music and lyrics, a heavy, distorted, and grinding guitar-driven sound and raw, shouted vocals similar to a political speech, with lyrics on anti-war themes.

Reissue, originally released in 1977. First time on cassette for the debut studio album by English punk rock band led by vocalist/guitarist Adrian Borland, who would go on to form The Sound. In 1976, they home-recorded Calling On Youth, a searching full-length that straddles nihilo-punk argot ("Terminal Case" and "I'm Screwed Up") as well as smudged glam balladry ("Start Over" and "Weird"). For any fan of The Sound, an essential purchase.

Cassette reissue of The Residents' Eskimo, originally released in 1979. In 1979, "punk" music was all the rage. The Residents had gone through the punk stage three years earlier were ready for anything that was not punk. When it was finally released Eskimo was a hit, both in sales and in reviews. The album tells the story, without words, of the assimilation of a ritualistic society into consumer culture. This story unfolds as Eskimo fables set to the grinding of sound effects and music. Eskimo is, quite literally, a unique experience.
