Livin' In The 80s: 80s Hardcore On Bandcamp

Mad At The World Records NYC Not sure about this label, as they seem to have lost their website. They were doing some vinyl reissues of older NYHC, but seem to have folded up shop. They do still have some classics available on digital though, including: Major Conflict - Sounds Like 1983: Ripping nYHC from 1983 Nihilistics - S/T: Brutal first album from the kings of negativity Urban Waste - Police Brutality - One of the best in early NYHC, reissued here simply as ‘Urban Waste’, the label gave this a 12” release with some great urban style label art. Additionally, they also reissued Token Entry’s crucial debut, and a comp album of tracks by New Jersey’s excellent Sand In The Face, so you maybe can hunt those down on discogs or something.

Even Worse We Suck! The Lost 1982 Album Radiation Deluxe/ Originally Grand Theft Audio 2002 Even Worse were an early pre-NYHC band, contemporary with Heart Attack, Kraut, etc. and still carried with them some of the punk snot from the 70s, so more of a bridge style for what NYHC scene was to become stylistically. They were a bit sloppy, with nary a trace of metal, but they had a sense of fun and excitement that carried the early scene as it discovered itself.   This was released originally by Grand Theft Audio as a CD, but gets the Radiation vinyl treatment containing the same tracks, the ‘Lost’ album and a set at Max’s. A pretty decent slice of NY punk history. Link: https://evenworsenyc.bandcamp.com/album/we-suck-the-lost-album-aka-youve-ruined-everything
