FUCKING INVINCIBLE
very negative (2013/ATOMIC ACTION)
HARDCORE. Members of SOUL CONTROL, SWEET JESUS, DAUGHTERS etc. deliver music to rip your face off. "very negative" is 8 songs. FUCKING INVINCIBLE is a straight forward, punch your boss in the face hardcore that features Alexis (DAUGHTERS) yelling his head off over the crushing riffs. Yep, no drunken Elvis vocals here!
FUCKING WRATH, THE
terra fire (2010/TEE PEE)
HARDCORE/METAL. Three years after the release of their full-length "seasons of evil", Ventura's THE FUCKING WRATH return with their debut for Tee Pee Records. This recording sees the addition of a 2nd guitarist for added riffage on the 5 tracks that are simultaneously heavy and fast, combining influences from DISCHARGE, MELVINS, ACID KING and "kill em all"-era METALLICA.
FUCKING WRATH, THE
valley of the serpent's soul (2011/TEE PEE)
HARDCORE/METAL. Purveyors of all things heavy, on their 2nd full-length Southern California hardcore/metal-punks THE FUCKING WRATH bring a sound that's an amalgamation of groups such as DISCHARGE, BLACK FLAG, THE MELVINS and "kill em all"-era METALLICA. Vinyl version includes a MP3 download card.
FUELED BY FIRE
Spread the fire (2007/METAL BLADE)
THRASH-METAL. On the forefront of the West Coast thrash revival, LA's FUELED BY FIRE take influence from such classic bands as METALLICA, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, TESTAMENT, SLAYER and more and churn it into their own volatile sound. The song titles on this effort simply reflect their beliefs in Metal such as "Metal forever" and "Thrash is back". The singing is not amazing, the guitarists are not virtuosos, the bass is in the pocket, and the drumming is in the pocket. But somewhere in between FUELED BY FIRE have an album that could be a good listen to purveyors of the classic metal sound. If your a fan of that new bands, like MUNICIPAL WASTE, TOXIC HOLOCAUST etc. you should take note! Throw the horns and bang your head!
FUGAZI
13 songs (1989/DISCHORD)
POST/EMO-PUNK. This album is somewhat raw and sounds like they were still trying to figure out their sound. Some really great songs. FUGAZI are an incredible band that everyone into punk and alternative music at all should check out.
FUGAZI
3 songs (2009/DISCHORD)
POST/EMO-PUNK. Another Discord 7” that is back and reissued after being out-of-press for years. This 7" was re-cut and re-issued (with updated art) in 2009.
FUGAZI
end hits (2009/DISCHORD)
POST/EMO-PUNK. FUGAZI is excellent on every level on which a band can be excellent. A bit of a departure from some the previous few FUGAZI albums, but definitely in a good way, you can see they were going somewhere with some of the newer ideas, and fortunately, it led to "the argument", which is similarly excellent. FUGAZI is the kind of band that never fails to impress. The vinyl was re-cut and re-mastered in 2009 and comes with a digital download card.
FUGAZI
furniture (2001/DISCHORD)
POST/EMO-PUNK.

FUGAZI
in on the killtaker (2009/DISCHORD)

FUGAZI
red medicine (2009/DISCHORD)
POST/EMO-PUNK. The music in "red medicine" (originally from 1995) transcends punk; it is highly experimental, and on 1st listen, the release assaults you with waves of noise. When guitar theatrics seem to be put in the back burner by many of the neo-punk bands of today, FUGAZI have brought it right out to the forefront. The vinyl was re-cut and re-mastered in 2009 and includes a digital download card.
FUGAZI
repeater (2009/DISCHORD)
