Mukilteo Fairies - Special Rites

More grindy hardcore goodness from those mid 90's noise monsters Mukilteo Fairies.

Special Rites

Homo Eradicus

I honestly don't know much about the band Homo Eradicus. I learned of them through the Is It... Dead? Northwest Hardcore compilation that came out in 2001 and featured bands like Raft of Dead Monkeys and Botch (speaking of which, if anyone out there has a cd copy of Is It... Dead? that they could hook me up with a rip of, that would be awesome). While they're just as aggressive and screamy as you'd expect from the local hardcore bands of the era, musically Homo Eradicus definitely fall to the slightly more technical side of the pile. Homo Eradicus featured members of Akimbo and Teen Cthulhu and singer Dylan Sharp went on to play in the Olympia based punk rock band Gun Outfit.

As always, if you've got any more info on a band or it's members, have any memories or need me to make a correction, feel free to leave a comment.

Unreleased 2nd Recording Session

Rat Cat Hogan - Part 2

Today's download contains two Rat Cat Hogan albums that were released as a single cassette on Elsinor records. I got my copy for free from the band at a show they played with Peter Parker down in Olympia, probably in 1999. Both sides have the same great quirky songs you'd expect from these guys but the Don't Call Me Twaddy side of this tape is probably my favorite of all of their recorded output. The two albums have been separated into individual downloads.

Doomsday 1999 - Demo & Live Set

I stumbled upon some more Doomsday 1999 material the other day while browsing on Soulseek so I figured I should probably share it with everyone. More garish pulverizing noise grind from this sorely missed apocalyptic Seattle trio.

The Vogue - s/t 7"

Today's post is The Vogue's self titled 7". I had originally included these files in with the As Brass and Satin posting but forgot to include them when I re-upped that record last year. So here you go, more artsy no wave goodness from one of the many Blood Brothers related side projects.

Ahisma / Fuckgodintheface - Split 12"

Today's download is the split by Ahisma and Fuckgodintheface and it is 12 whole inches of crusty metal goodness. After some internet sleuthing I've discovered that members of these bands have gone on to play with Wolves in the Throne Room and Ninth Moon Black. I don't know much more about either of these bands, other than that I think they both came from Oregon, so I will just let the music speak for itself.

Shoplifting - Body Stories

Shoplifting arose from the ashes of the first incarnation of Chromatics, who themselves had risen out of the remnants of The Vogue & Soiled Doves. Composed of members Hannah Blilie (drums/vocals), Melissa Lock (bass), Chris Pugmire (guitar/vocals) & Devin Welch (guitar/keyboards), Shoplifting pick up the post punk torch left behind by their former bands, though Shoplifting definitely has a more dance feel than Soiled Doves or Chromatics ever had. They released one album, Body Stories, and one EP before the members moved on to other projects such as The Gossip and Past Lives.
