This is the final version of the Fuck Rock compilation that came out in 2010 along with the 25th anniversary issue of Artcore Fanzine. I want to thank all the bands & people involved that waited a couple of decades for this record to see the light of day. Eternal gratitude to Welly from Artcore for masterminding the project & Aston from Boss Tuneage records for his role in putting it out. Last but not least, Vin from B&Q for graciously putting this up on this blog. The comp is dedicated to the memory of friends that have passed away since these recordings were made: Francisco (Pancho) Alegria from Huasipungo, Tom Ota from Warning & Pete King (early ABC scenester)- RIP old buddies.

Following text taken from the previous Fuck Rock post:
Rorschach
Charles Maggio - vocals / Keith Huckins - guitar / Nick Forte - guitar /
Chris Laucella - bass / Andrew Gormley - drums
Tom Rusnak replaced Chris on bass in 1992
Synthetic Intelligence. A crushing version of the track that originally appeared on the "Fear of Smell" comp LP (Vermiform 1993). I was lucky enough to see Rorschach a few times back in the early '90s, and they were completely devastating every time. One of the most powerful live bands of the era. Probably of any era.
Warning
Neil - vocals / Todd - guitar (more info as i get it)
Blind Leading The Blind. Great Discharge inspired track. I can't find any info on this band at this time, but i'll be updating this page as more info comes in. If you know anything about this band, please leave a comment.
Citizens Arrest
Daryl Kahan - vocals / Janis Cakars - guitar / Joseph Martin - bass /
Patrick Winter - drums
Touch & Go / Pressure's On. An alternate recording of Touch & Go from the mighty "Colossus" LP (Wardance 1991) and a cover of Red C's "Pressure's On" from the classic "Flex Your Head" comp LP (Dischord 1982). CxA were my favorite hardcore band of the '90s, yet, as many times as they played ABC, i missed them every time. I'm still kicking myself. They're playing shows again with the original lineup, including Ted Leo who sang on the demo. Fuckin' A!
Animal Crackers
Ted Leo - vocals / Janis Cakars - guitar / Squeaky - guitar /
Charlie Adamec - bass / William Tarrant - drums
Roadkill / Farting Is A Spiritual Release. Christ, i haven't heard Animal Crackers in over 15 years. Fast hardcore punk songs with Ted Leo's vocals adding a pop edge. I'm pretty sure this stuff was recorded around the time he was starting Chisel (who i love).
Born Against
Sam McPheeters - vocals / Adam Woodrow - guitar / Javier Villegas - bass /
Jon Hiltz - drums
Bret Blue replaced Javier on bass somewhere between '91-'92, so i'm not sure who plays drums on these recordings. Born Against had tons of bassist and drummer changes during their existence (for more info check out the Born Against WFMU Sessions post).
Resist Control / Well Fed Fuck. Resist Control was originally performed by Adam's former band, Life's Blood, and Well Fed Fuck is an alternate recording of the closing track to their "9 Patriotic Hymns For Children" LP (Vermiform 1991). I got to see Born Against at ABN No Rio once (with Merel i think) and they were just insane. I'm not sure what Sam was on, but i wanted some. "We're Jock Gestopo, and this first song is called Born Against".
GO!
Mike Bullshit - vocals / Aaron - guitar / Steve - bass on "The Dead Ones" and "Kept" / Anthony Emo - bass on "The ABC Song" / Jim Paradise - drums
The Dead Ones / Kept / The ABC Song
These tracks are not exclusive versions unfortunately, but GO! was a huge part of the ABC No Rio scene and i'm glad they're represented on the comp. Two tracks from the "There Is No Man" 7" (Tasty Records 1991) and one track (The ABC Song) from the great "Why Suffer?" 7" (Forefront Records 1990). GO! is still putting out records and playing shows. Very fun shows.
Inflatable Children
Derek Stukuls - vocals / Gregory Benton - guitar / Gregory Stukuls - guitar /
Brian Huppi - bass / Jeff Moynihan - drums
Landshark / Ignore Me
I'm pretty unfamiliar with this band. But i plan of fixing that, as this is killer stuff. Pretty sure "Landshark" is an exclusive track, as it's not on the LP or split. "Ignore Me" was released on the split 7" with Puzzlehead (Old Glory Records 1991). Not sure if this is the same version, as i've never heard that split.
Antiem
Rich Trash - vocals / Jon Hiltz - guitar / Joe Martin - bass /
Melissa York - vocals / Patrick Winter - drums
Dog God. A massive sounding wall of noise by this ABC "supergroup". I couldn't believe this was Rich Trash (Manacled) when i first heard it. He sounds like a rabid dog here, ready to kill someone. Monster of a song. I need more of this.
Hell No
John Woods - vocals / Janis Cakars - guitar / Joe Martin - bass /
Jim Paradise - drums
Deal With It. Yet another band with Janis on guitar and Joe on bass, and yet another great live band. This song sounds familiar, and i'm pretty sure it's a re-working of a song from the first record, with a different name.
Huasipungo
Esneider - vocals / Ivan - guitar ('91-'92) / David Wilentz - bass/guitar ('91-'92) / Mike - bass ('91-'97) / Francisco - drums ('91-'92) / Naoki - drums ('91-'92) / Amanda - guitar/vocals ('92-'93)
Stupid Ambition. I'm not sure the exact lineup of these recordings, as Huasipungo was contantly changing members (and their were more member changes after '92 that i didn't list here). This is a re-recording of one of the band's earlier songs, when they played completely chaotic and frantic hardcore. One of my favorite, and one of the most overlooked and under-appreciated bands of the '90s.
Cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteHey, do you have any news about Radio to Saturn?
Thank you for this amazing stuff!

Thanks for all your hard work.
Lucas, no info on Radio to Saturn other than what's in the post i made about them. They recorded an LP which remains unreleased. At least one test press exists that i know of, owned by Charles (Rorschach/Gern Blandsten).
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1, thanks for the compliment. Anonymous 2, thanks for the info. I'll have to check that record out. I like the song on the comp a lot.
Vin
Radio to Saturn was Nick from Rorschach with Danny Leo from Native Nod and The Holy Childhood (Ted's brother) on drums and Andy Royland, who was later in Les Savvy Fav for a while, I think. They were either Boston or Providence (or both) based.
ReplyDeleteWhoops! ^^That was me.^^
ReplyDeleteJust saw the full post on Radio to Saturn. Sorry!
Keep up the good work!
Not sure how you feel about other blogs biting your hard work without a thank you, but I just ran across this today...

...and I knew just from looking at the cover art that it was one of yours. Just thought I'd mention it in case this sort of thing bothers you.
i played drums for warning, todd was on guitar and we had rotating bass players...

You have a wonderful blog sir. That is all.
ReplyDeleteHi. I just to say that I like your blog a real lot. Finally, glad to have the chance to hear bands that I've wanted to listen to and heard of but never had the chance to or $$$$. Like The Scam, United Mutataion, Radio to Saturn. Thanx.
ReplyDeleteCliff, i don't mind other blogs biting off mine. The more the music gets around the better. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteJim, thanks for the info.
Everyone else, thanks for posting!
The version of Ignore Me on the Inflatable Children/Puzzlehead split was a different recording. This one was recorded the same time as the Get Naked With… record and sadly failed to make it on the recording. Same with Landshark.

It appears that the members of Ravenclaw are especially beautiful, as they have occasionally been described as being pleasing to the eye. Almost all the members of Ravenclaw that are mention in the series have been described as lovely or handsome. None of the members of Ravenclaw have yet figured prominently into any of the plot points, but some of the better-known names include Cho Chang, Roger Davies, Luna Lovegood and Filius Flitwick.
