Heroin

I've been more lazy to go on here often. My bad. Going back to more CD's I got under Gravity and shit and today I will be going a little back to the late 80's. Heroin was another band from the San Diego scene of the screamo punk stuff. This band consists of self titled albums with a total of 18 songs. All about Heroin in '91, a self titled 7" in '92 and a self titled LP in '93. This was all wrapped up as a discography CD under you guessed it. Gravity records. Members of this band were from End of the line, Antioch arrow, Second story window and I believe one of them were in Clikatat Ikatowi. Angel hair and Mohinder might have been involved with this band too reletavely. Heroin to me sounds like Clikatat and Antioch arrow it's as simple as I can put it. Its a fucking shame that all the real "punk rockers" at my school never knew anything about this scene but rather a boring ass movie called SLC punk. I kinda wished I was around the time this shit was going down so this post wouldn't be short and simplistic. Instead I got stuck to bullshit like Snowing and Tiny moving boys or whatever that band is called.

Discography CD

Angel Hair

I am back and the rest of this month I will bring up some really important bands from the early/mid 90's (mostly Gravity releases) these hardcore bands had done a big impact on later bands. Angel hair was a emotive hardcore band from Colorado but later relocated in San Diego. Angel hair had 3 releases in '94. 2 split 7"s and the bands debut EP 7". Although most of the bands material was recorded out in San diego in 1994 between March through November. Only their split with Bare minimum was recorded in Denver sometime February. 17 songs were brought to the table over the year lifespan this band had. It wasn't until in 1997 they got a proper Discography CD's I do enjoy the songs off the LP "Insect mortality" it reminds me of Guyver one a lot. Shit, who knows. Maybe Guyver got influenced by this band the year after. Angel hair is probably great due to its aesthetic hardcore sound. What I like about this month is that I will throw a good couple of my favorite Gravity CD releases that I have on me. Angel hair is one of the cool discog CD's done by Gravity recs. I am sure by now many of you know who Angel hair is but if you don't it would be cool to download this one off of me. Typically discography CD's are just referred to as a "Discography" Angel hair did a little something titling the album. People still question me to why I buy discography CD's when I can just download them 'cause you fuck its not the same shit you get. After Angel hair, one of the members wnet on to form The VSS.

Lion of the North/MANS.

My apologies for taking my damn time. As for an update Antilles finally released a posthumous album that was recorded sometime in 2012 and is now out on vinyl. Pre orders will contain cassettes of the bands last songs recorded in 2013 as a EP (About 20 or so) so whenever I receive that in the mail I will post both releases up.

Lion of the North began with a self released EP under The compass calls in summer 2007. This EP was repressed a few times between that same year and 2008 (Kid sister was involved) at the time this band had so much fire that many bands from today try to copy. Unfortunately as with Staph's Keys EP this one never made its way as a vinyl release and likely will never see that. The compass calls mixes it up between some math rock tapping on a song and some harsh screamo. This bands fate was just like MANS. in 2008 when both bands broke up. Lion of the North quickly went on as Staph right after which also lasted about a little less than a year. To Conclude this band lasted over a year with 6 songs. The compass calls will never be released officially as a vinyl release and your chance to get the split 7" is to act now before those are gone forever. The split never happened because Lion of the north broke up then about 6 months later MANS played at a fest and ended.
The Compass Calls EP+Split w/ MANS.

MANS. from Chicago began sometime in 2006 while releasing a instrumental tour demo. About a year after the band released another tour demo but this time as what the band had imaged. The second demo sounds rather more promising and quiet amazing quality for a demo for the most part. The band had then intentions of releasing a split 7" with Lion of the North but instead did a pre release with a CD format for the tour. After tour this wax release never happened due to both bands quitting so there was no point. It wasn't until a few years ago Kid sister everything released the split 7" that should have happened in 2008. Sleeves on that vinyl are fucking amazing and so much effort can be shown. The song on the split seems to be the most memorable one from their short discography. In 2013 the band got back together to play at some fest and recorded 2 songs that were played 5 years ago (from 2008) but were never recorded until now and released it as a cassette under again Kid sister fucking everything. It comes with a patch and the quality is rather decent. I believe there is one 2013 tape left and about a couple of the split 7"s I was lucky to have got the CD version of the split (pretty good collectors item)
