BACKPATCH (Limited to 100 from Mass Media):

“For all of you who have read or heard about Circle One: Do not judge people on what you hear or read, See it with your own eyes and then you be the judge”
-from the liner notes of Patterns Of Force

Perhaps this is why Circle One has been such a hard band to understand. They do not fit neatly into the history of punk. The legacy of Patterns of Force and Circle One has been based mainly on rumor and not the music itself. This is the bands only album conceived during Macias’ life. It is rumored that only 1000 of the LPs were pressed by Upstart records before the label went bankrupt. The band also essentially broke up in 1984 which couldn’t help the fact that many people haven’t heard this record. It surfaced, in a largely altered state in 1998, on the Discography CD on Grand Theft Audio titled “Are You Afraid?” . What we present to you here is the original mixes, remastered from the original tapes. The artwork, inserts and sound have not been changed so that maybe, 27 years later, people can judge Circle One and the album Patterns Of Force with their own eyes and ears. -Cameron Cisneros

Angel

Hair “Insect Mortality” LP Gravity Records #17

alt=”" />

Way out of print LP by San Diegos originators of the what would
way later be called SCREAMO, way more hardcore than LOCUST Angel Hair has a penchant for
noisy chords and chopped up drums that are at once chaotic and well fleshed out hardcore
jams. Back cover has a lipstick smudge on it that is removable. Also some gummy residue where the price tag once was.

Rare Live LP

Way rare Live LP great sound quality, vinyl and sleeve are
basically new.
SLINT LIVE SAMPLE

Teenage Head

Teenage Head were one of Canada’s early punk bands, they top the list along with Pointed

Sticks and Viletones in my opinion. This is a great live show all the hits are here

including “NO SENSE” and “PICTURE MY FACE” Very limited fan pressing, on clear vinyl.

happy bidding!

Catharsis “We’ve Been Sleeping While They Slept”

Powerhouse dark hardcore from the late 90s. These guys went on to record a couple amazing LPs, but this EP is their most raw earliest material.

Catharsis Sample MP3

Gehenna/ Catharsis “Live in the land of the Dead LP”

You can’t go wrong with this killer LP of two of the late 90s’ most twisted metallic hardcore bands. I take it that these two bands come from a straight edge hardcore background, but they leave most of that influence for something way darker and menacing. This is some raw evil stuff. These are live recordings but don’t let that throw you off. Catharsis’ side is so well recorded it might as well be an album and Gehenna’s side definitely sounds live but truly captures their ragged intensity

Gehenna / Catharsis split Lp sample MP3

Disrupt / Destroy split 7″ on Gold vinyl

Clean copy of this classic split. Fans of raw old school crust will not be disappointed.

Destroy Disrupt Sample MP3

Gehenna “Birth of Vengence” 7″ EP

Great clean copy of this early rare EP by RENO/ORANGE COUNTYs negative hardcore monsters GEHENNA. This record is a genius mixture of primitive black metal with pure hardcore hatred

NO SPECTATORS -FOR THE TAKERS

Pre Order this Classic LP by this influential LA hardcore band.  Reissue remastered from the original 1/4″ tapes and includes the ORIGINAL mix not found on CD reissues.  First time on vinyl since UPSTART put it out in 81.

I know lots of people are getting on the reissue bandwagon re releasing every punk and hc record known (and unknown) to man but PATTERNS OF FORCE is true lost gem in my opinion. CIRCLE ONE had an intensity that not many bands could match and the original mixes of PATTERNS OF FORCE have a very unique sound that has really grown on us.  Believe it or not, CIRCLE ONE still records and plays shows to this day.  We are proud to reissue this record by a band that has (and continues to) inspire the local scene around them.

PRE ORDER is limited to 100 copies from us.  Comes with limited edition Patterns Of Force back patch made specifically for the release of this record.
