Ruido - 1997-2000

I did this discography for the band back in 2000, but unfortunately it never got mastered and released. Here it is, with permission from my buddy Gen (the vocalist). Everything the band released between 1997-2000, 54 songs in roughly 30 minutes. I ripped all this from vinyl and it came out surprisingly well, with pretty much no surface noise or pops. The only real flaw is that the levels are a bit on the low side, so turn it up loud! Hopefully this gets remastered at some point and sees the light of day as an official release.

Ruido put out some of my favorite hardcore recordings of the late '90s. The first demo (the first 24 tracks here), is especially great stuff, like a vicious combo of Despise You and Los Crudos. After that it's a bit more straight forward hardcore punk, all great stuff. Enjoy.
