i've wanted to do one of these since i joined. i got into noisecore as far as i can remember in 1993. when i got a comp. tape of finnish bands which also included CRIPPLE BASTARDS from the guy who does this great noisecore discography site: www.cfprod.com/noisecore/noisecore.htm . after that i got the first two CRIPPLE BASTARDS 7"S one was a split 68 song effort with VIOLENT HEADACHE and ANAL CUNT-morbid florist and i was hooked. i think i've got most of the vinyl listed on mikko aspa's site mentioned above.but not so much the earlier stuff. the band i think began noisecore and grind too was BRIGADA DE ODIO FROM sao paulo brasil. they did an amazing split lp with OLHO SECO in 1985. it sounds similar to what swiss grinders FEAR OF GOD did a few years later and was reissued later on an OHLO SECO cd. they were definately before bands like REPULSION. following on from this bands like SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA (melbourne), GEROGERIGEGEGE (toykio japan), SORE THROAT ( bradford ) and FEAR OF GOD ( zurich) cropped up playing very short bursts of abrupt distorted grind. as far as ANAL CUNT goes i really like their pre earache material and the first two lp's up to 1994 but after that they are just straight grind. they had no really stupid song titles until the late 1990's and the early pre 1993 material has no song titles and usually no lyrics. most noisecore bands tend to have social political lyrics over joke lyrics. particularly brasilian bands and bands from poorer countries. many bands do many demos sometimes without releasing any vinyl. while most types of DIY and noisy music have flourished over the past decade plus noisecore seemed to be getting less popular as the nineties progressed and a lot of people involved moved on to power electronics, grindcore and hardcore. but now it's time for a revival ! the blown out amps in rehearsal room recordings need to satisfy my noisecore fix again. there has been a few releases in recent years stil such as dutch greats CSMD, NOYFB ( from LA) , NAPALM SUCK, and evergreen brasilians NOISE and INDUSTRIAL HOLOCAUST. i also heard a good cd by D.O.S.A. who i think are indonesian. and there is is always a good crew of demo bands. i love old bands WBI, TUMOR, ARSE, AUNT MARY, STENCH OF CORPSE, WORLD , NIKU-DO- REI, early SENSELESS APOCALYPSE, NECROSE, DECHE CHARGE, old D.I.E, B.R.B, B.G.T. etc. but even a lot of grinders hate this stuff. if you don't let me know!
