Axiom - Establishing A Culture Of Resistance, Impaled By Chaos, Apathy and Privilege

A whole lotta Axiom for all you Northwest crust lords. The epic riffage is as inspiring as the preachy sermons from these uber anti-civvies from Portland. Members are now in bands such as Resistant Culture and Hellshock.

Subhumans - The Day The Country Died

Epic. Epic. Epic. From beginning to end, this anarcho punk soundtrack to the apocalypse is like that last swill of whiskey that pushes you over the edge to knock society to the fucking ground. It left quite an impression on me when I was a kid, anyway.

Agrimony - Demo

This is a very short-lived band I was in called Agrimony. We were from Southern California, and in our short history, we shared members with such bands as Problem//Reaction//Solution, Krakatoa, Long Pig, Dystopia, 2nd St. Rag Stompers, Against//Empire, and others. I heard this for the first time in almost forever the other day and it brought me to tears how this band could have been fucking amazing! Along with A Century's Claim, this band is the only other band I wish I was still writing music with. Maygun on Violin. Me on Bass. Lucien on Drums. Diana on Vox. Jason on Guitar. I hope you enjoy this partial demo (only 3 of the 5 songs recorded in this session). If anyone has the other songs, Idle Hands and Rewetting Of The Bones, let me know! Rewetting Of The Bones was on a Profane Existence comp a few years ago, but I don't have it anymore... Bummer. Enjoy!!!

Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come

I believe I was in the 8th grade in middle school when this record came out in late 1998. At the time I was listening to a lot of Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, Amebix, and Crass, so getting this record was a far departure from what I was rocking out to at the time (when it came to political music, that is). They definitely have a Swedish hardcore sound going on, definitely, but they've got much more than that. Extremely talented musicians, for sure, which is one of the things that led to the breakup and constant lineup changes before this record came into fruition. This band definitely opened me up to a whole new style of political punk rock and political ideas, and in my opinion, is one of the most important albums of the late 90s (they broke up shortly after the record came out, on tour, in a basement show that the cops busted). There are rumored reunions, and a repress and remaster of this record in the works (3 discs, I believe). Members went on to form Swedish Anarcho-Syndicalist rock band The (International) Noise Conspiracy shortly after the breakup of Refused.
