US lot - Middle Class - 'Out of Vogue' EP and 'Love Is Just A Tool' - too good for words. my favourite of the lot. Black Flag - 'Damaged' the first 6 songs - after 'Police Story' it goes scooting downhill. Agnostic Front - 'United Blood' 7", silly but glorious. Dead Kennedys -side 1 of 'In God We Trust Inc' 12" (side 2 is crap). Can't remember what it's called (Anthems for the New Aryans?), but the first Reagan Youth LP was pretty good.
On the UK side, 'Why' by Discharge and their first 3 7"s all fit the bill. Don't know if "Increase the Pressure" by Conflict qualifies, but it should. "Burning Britain" EP by Chaos UK, "Factory Man" by Total Chaos and "Young and Bold" by Clockwork Criminals all straddle the punk/HC line, the latter's one of the most discordant brickwall production speedfreak records I've ever heard.
Then "Police Bastard" EP by Doom, the first Napalm Death Peel Session, first Intense Degree Peel Session, and "Holocaust in Your Head" by ENT.
Oh yeah, does anyone remember John Peel used to play loads of tracks around '88 by a group called Japan (from Japan)? Thus making them totally google-proof, but they had a song called 'Nightmare' which sounded like being shredded into a wall by a combine harvester on crack.
Oh yeah, and Vegan Reich (joke)
