This is the 4th full length from England's long-running cult band the Mekons, and it is generally credited as being the first ever Alt-country album. It's actually a wonderful treasure filled with a sense of melancholy uplifted through happy melodies which gives it a wonderful and unique blend. This is a must listen and I've been a big fan for many years. Inspired.

This is the final album from the sick and twisted noise punk band God Bullies before they disbanded. This is the most accessible album in their catalogue but it's still very bizarre and creepy. Mike Hard is the most intense and insane vocalist ever and he kinda scares me.

This band just flat out rules live and they didn't really put out many cds or anything so I was really lucky to score this cd which is probably gonna be the only thing you'll even be able to find by them so enjoy this.

Heavy Hardcore Headroom - (1996)

Origin - U.$
Time - 73:53 min.
File - 142.61 MB(320kbps)

Heavy Hardcore Headroom CD is a compilation of bands recorded by Bill T Miller at Headroom. These bands were recorded in a raw anti-production style and are from the 1990-95 era of Headroom Studios.

HHH CD is a collection of Heavy and/or Hardcore bands, I recorded at my small, no frills Half-Inch 16-track. Each of the bands have their own political views and musical styles. I record them in a raw, live, no-budget, DIY, anti-production style. I have my own bands (Out of Band Experience and King Of Feedback) to indulge my own weird-wacko fantasies as a musician. As an independent engineer/producer, I record at many larger more deluxe studios. ExtraTerrestrial Discs is a NO-budget DIY label set-up to release OBE and KOF music, I don't really have the money or distro to release other bands. I was very lucky to have connected with IZUMI from PEFE on the internet. PEFE is perfect, small enough to have DIY ethics, but large enough to be professional with good distribution. THANX for listening to HHH! =Bill T. Miller (Bill T. Miller.com)

1. HHH (BTM samplefest)
Kings Of Feedback
2. Dead Ants

I got into these two bands from picking up the "Not Just A Nightmare" ep way back in '93 or '94. After hearing the scathing vokills and the metallic crust frenzy that was unleashed upon my earholes, I was hooked! I followed the bands and managed to pick up all of the vinyl output of both. Suffer is the band Health Hazard turned into immediately after disbanding. This discography was released on Prank Records from San Francisco, Ca. and is release #28 in their catalog. Check this slab out!
