Revised on Feb. 9, 2010 for better sound quality.
More great late '80s NYC hardcore. AbombAnation played very melodic and catchy hardcore, similar to Token Entry. From what i've read, Ernie (the drummer of Token Entry) played drums on the AbombAnation demo, and his brother was the vocalist. I started this collection off with the three songs from the New Breed tape. These songs are on the demo, but the quality is much better on the New Breed tape so i decided to include them, as it's the best representation of the band's powerful sound. The 1988 demo is pretty easy to come by these days, so the real gem here is the live set on WFMU recorded in February of 1989. The WFMU studio seems to have a way of bringing out the best in bands, and this set is no exception. Incredible stuff. Apparently there was also a recording done for an unreleased album. I'd love to hear that. If anyone has it, please get in touch.

And Matt O'Brien was a regular visitor to our side of Astoria Park back in the days. AJ from Leeway (then, the Unruled) was friends w/ him from his NY Hoods days. We played our first show with them, Krakdown & Token Entry @ the Right Track Inn out in LI back in late 87.

Joe, thanks for the comment. I plan on putting up some live Outburst stuff in the near future. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe, i was just talking about you to someone the other day! I have a few good pics from that show, where I'm covered in blood from busting my nose open during your set! Damn, that was some lineup. Hope all is well.

ReplyDeleteDL the new file kids. It's sounds MUCH better than the old one.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. This is one of the demos/bands that really stood out to me when I was growing up and learning about different music and I've been hunting for it for ages since I lost it. Thank you.

No problem. And thank you for being one of my main inspirations playing drums for my old band Spaul back in the '90s.
ReplyDeleteGreat post dear blogger... I always enjoy seeing another informative process like this one, its like a reimplementation about something, I think you're a great person with informative sense and social conviction through the music. I learn so much from this blog. Really makes me feel better, because this blogsphere isn't good enough, to many spamers, to many pedophilia, to many porn... and this blog is the exception, you must be proud about it. Congrats. 23jj
