Books to Prisoners Compiilation 7" - Devoid of Faith, Drift, Seized, Los Crudos



This is apparently the only thing the Young Heirs Project ever released. Not to be cynical, but I have to wonder how many books a hardcore / powerviolence 7" comp actually put into the hands of prisoners, especially since they state that fifty cents from each record went toward that end.

Still, I'm not trying to poke fun at social activism. Direct action gets the goods, you know, and I never put out any records to try and help anybody.

Here's your link, including extensive scans of the booklet and additional sticker and flyer asking for bands interested in being on a CD comp that I have to assume never got released...

Or maybe I'm wrong.

The Trans Megetti - "Rent A Rocket" 7"



The Trans Megetti's album Steal The Jet Keys is a good album. But I was disappointed when I bought it because the version of "Rent A Rocket" on the album wasn't the same version on the 7" I bought at their show. The version here is more energetic and forceful, you know?

I'm sure you do. Or, you will after you listen to this.

Scrog - "Sacred Masses" 7"



I liked Scrog. I used to play them quite a bit on my radio show when I was in college. They were a bit slower and, um, "sludgier" (I hate that term, but it has taken hold with this type of music, so, reluctantly, there I go...)than whatever the hell else I was listening to thirteen years ago...

There's not much information about Scrog on the internet. Searching for the band name yields a number of marijuana related websites ("scrog" is also the name for a particular marijuana cultivation technique), but the band does have a Myspace page here.

Their discography album is available here or directly from New Granada Records and it includes their cover of The Smiths "The Queen Is Dead", which is an interesting version.

"Sacred Masses" was their last 7" and was released in 2 versions. The more limited blue vinyl version came with a book of photos from the history of the band, which I have scanned in and included in the download. The front and back covers of both versions are also included.
