Hated Youth - Hardcore Rules 7"

Probably the coolest band from Tallahassee, ever... besides DVC (Darth Vader's Church). I have heard that Hated Youth was the first hardcore band in Florida. That could definitely be a lie.

Even though Burrito Records put this out in the year 2000, it was recorded in 1983 down in Gainesville. 9 of these songs were unreleased and 3 were compilation tracks. Being in a band in 1983 when you were under 18-years-old had its setbacks, since they couldn't afford to release the material until almost 20 years later. Thanks Bob!

 

Hated Eric still lives in Tallahassee and runs an auto shop somewhere around the new "College Town". I've never seen him. I don't even know if he is the vocalist on this record because they had multiple. Supposedly he is hoarding a bunch of Hated Youth/Roach Motel LPs and Hardcore Rules 7"s which he brings in to Retrofit Records occasionally for local pick-up.

Seems like people usually talk about this band when talking about early "fast" hardcore. Bands like D.R.I., Septic Death, or B.G.K. and Lärm from Europe. Florida was actually ahead of the curve, once... I mean listen to the very first track. "My name is God. Fuck You." That shit is fast.

 

"As I'm sure you've heard before, things were different then. Tallahassee, FL was a complete conservative, racist, republican town. There were no such things as punks. Normal kids didn't have anything pierced. Just one earing was considered outrageous. Radio had no hint of "alternative." Just crap music, period. One time just walking down the street, an executive looking lady spit on me. Almost in the way america was so paranoid about communists, they were scared of us. In reality, we were just bored kids having some fun, but the people of that time were terrified of us. We had an intense power over people. It's strange to think of now, but people were just idiots back then.

Before we ever had a gig, the paper featured us and some other bands. Full page, mohawks, Circle Jerks tee-shirts. The town knew something bad, possibly the work of Satan, had arrived. Our first gig in Tallahassee (apart from parties) was to happen at a place called the Seminole Reservation, but after even more press and public outcry, it was cancelled and moved to another location. That location was the Union Green at FSU, a usual outdoor venue for concerts. The build-up was so big that I was even scared. The scene was surreal, cop cars everywhere. I'm not too sure what they thought was going to happen. From there we just branched out into other towns finding punk scenes to play for." - Gary

Failure Face - Complete Failure

I ended up seeing a band I never thought I would see.

Bob Suren is a bit of a character in Tampa and throughout the rest of Florida. Many have met him and his cool dogs. He used to run the legendary Burrito Records (thank you for my Hated Youth and Belching Penguins material) and cool ass bootleg t-shirt operation. He sold me my S.O.A. shirt for $2 out of a storage unit by the Unit 19. He has probably forgotten both my name and identity several times.

Bob got divorced and relocated to Austin, Texas, where he wrote a book called "Crate Digger", a loose collection of memoirs and anecdotes circling around his life-long obsession with punk rock recordings, from which he eventually liberated himself. It was actually a great read and is highly recommended, considering how many horrible "punk literature" pieces I have read in my lifetime.

Bob fronted Failure Face and Muder-Suicide Pact, who both reunited for live performances at the 305 Fest weekend of 2012. He is still a great front-person and the Failure Face discography remains a wonderful window into a 90's hardcore version of Florida and its many eccentricities.

Much more refined than the demo. A catchy preview of what's to come. Picked up at a show in Tallahassee at the Hidden Hand (RIP), 2012. One of the most beautiful and cryptic packages crammed into a 7" sleeve I have seen in my entire life.

Finally... One of my most anticipated releases ever. They finally put that glorious live intro to a slab of plastic. Such a perfect blend of Mercyful Fate and GISM and many other influences. Metal punk at its finest!

Church Whip - Final EP

This 7" I believe is self-titled with untitled songs on each side... The file I have is one long playing track. Their most heavy metal release with a gloomy acoustic introduction to set the mood. A worthy farewell.
