Anti Cimex - Raped Ass

Released in 1983, here is the Raped Ass EP by Sweden's Anti Cimex. This D-beat classic absolutely punishes from start to finish with a rage that is uncaptured by any other band from this time period. Aggressive riffs and shredded vocals make this easily one of my favorite punk releases ever.

Anti-Cimex - Criminal Trap

A monumental record by Anti-Cimex, one of the most important punk bands to date. Formed in Sweden during 1981, they were the very group to define Scandinavian D-beat. After the demise of this band, the members went on to form such acts as Driller Killer and Wolfbrigade. This album is a milestone as far as punk rock is concerned.

Deep Wound

1983 self-titled release from Deep Wound, quite possibly one of the most overlooked as well as underrated punk bands from the outer regions of Boston, Massachusetts. They disbanded in 1984 with drummer J Mascis and guitarist Lou Barlow going on to form Dinosaur Jr. In 2004, Deep Wound played an unannounced one-song reunion set in Northampton MA at a Sonic Youth concert at some college. If you're into ridiculously fast punk rock, download this EP.

Misfits - Halloween

Halloween is the fifth single by the horror punk band the Misfits. It was released on October 31, 1981 on singer Glenn Danzig's label Plan 9 Records. This single was the last Misfits release to include guitarist Bobby Steele. Both songs on the single had been recorded in August 1980 for a planned album. This features both Halloween I and II only, but stands very well on it's own as a classic staple in the history of this legendary band; as it were...
