A super rarity today - Georgia's (the country, not the US state) first punk record from 1992! I actually don't know much about OUTSIDER, so I'm not gonna act like I do, but it's a great album! I did...

V/A - RAPTUS Compilation LP
A good mix of rough and primitive punk and oi from Italy circa '83. Some of it is a bit unimaginitive, but the spirit is in the sound. Stand-out material on here for me are the fast and early USHC...

SEXBOMBA - To Niemożliwe LP
I bought this in Portland a couple years ago simply because it was a Polish punk record I didn't have. I'd say it's about half good, meaning half of the songs are pretty cool and the other half are...

EYES ON YOU - Received With Thanks 12"
I consider Record Store Day to be mostly problematic, but that doesn't change the fact that the independent and volunteer-run stores we love get a significant spike in sales on that day. Thus, I...
