Nova Mob

Shoot Your Way to Freedom EP I remember seeing these at Garage D’or back in the day.  All the covers had bullet holes in them.  Hell yes! Get it here .

Nova Mob

The Last Days Of Pompeii Long out of print LP from the former Husker Du drummer.  I can’t think of many folks with as bad of luck with record labels as Grant Hart.  Just about everything he has done post-Husker’s…

The Wallets

Catch a Falling Star EP (1983) Take It LP (1986) Not really punk, but a Twin Cities mainstay from the era.  I know the LP was on TwinTone, but I don’t know much about the EP as this would be…

Mighty Mofos

Mindreader EP Hands down one of my favorite local bands.  Garage punk before most people knew what punk was.  This was from the poorly produced (muddy) Treehouse Records LP, with a bonus non-LP track.  Get it anyway because these guys…

Death Squad

More early demos More stuff from 1987/1988 era Death Squad with the original singer.  The blog posting incorrectly lists them as from Michigan. Get it here .

Death Squad

2 Demos I’ve known these guys forever.  In fact I put out a few of their records/tapes for them.   Great guys, great band. Defiantly not politically correct.   Crossover style metal/punk in the D.R.I. style.  These two tapes from 1986/1987feature the…

Soilent Green

Processed Humanity EP I remember Dennis from the many Oakdale metal party’s.  I always thought he looked like that dude from Styx.  Great guy.  Ross went on to play with Morticia.  I don’t remember much about the band itself, other…

Coup de Grace

The Coup de Grace Their first record on the long defunct Red Decible Records.  This one brings to vinyl many of their earliest, most catchy metal masterpieces.   As far as I know, they have only two other releases, a blue…
