Dehumanizers/ P.I.G. Records
End Of TIme/ Kill Lou Guzzo
P.I.G. Records
1987, 1986

Seattle’s infamous The Dehumanizers gets the digital treatment through P.I.G. records, a label that focuses somewhat on regional acts, some old some new. Their two most known releases are up for offer as well as later releases. They were famous for a getting into a legal tussle with KIRO television over the title track. ‘End of Time’ sees the band getting into concept album territory, melding metal, punk and satire effectively.

The label has a couple of releases by State of Confusion, the famous ‘Senseless Death’ comp and a bunch of cool metal comps that captured the 80s metal scene in and around Seattle before grunge took over. An early performance by The Accused is also on offer, as well as some splits with MDC, D.O.A. and others.

Hüsker Dü Savage Young Dü Numero Group The second Hüsker release on Bandcamp is a lot to unpack, so I’ll keep it short and tell yoou that if you love this band even just a little, but prefer the early stuff, you must go buy this right now. I bought the physical copy because it’s just a meaty, beautiful package of early pics, informative liner notes and three discs of the early material, including the ‘In A Free Land’ and ‘Statues’ singles, the   ‘Everything Falls Apart’ 12” and most interestingly, an alternative version of ‘Land Speed Record’, their seminal live album, which has most of the same songs on a different date during the same period, but are a little more clear perhaps? Also has various other session and live tracks. An amazing document! Link:  https://huskerdu.bandcamp.com/album/savage-young-d

Agnostic Front United Blood Bridge Nine Records This is the first Bridge Nine Records version with just the original 10 songs as they appeared on the first release. They later released a longer version with outtakes, etc. This is a classic of NYHC and should be in your collection. I recently saw one of the originals at the Las Vegas Punk Museum. They go for a coupla grand now. My biggest beef with this version (also available as a physical copy) is the lame cover art. Though the physical reissue does have all of the cover and insert art, they used this goofy art instead. And the digital download doesn’t have any of the insert art on PDF.
