The Spectacle - Rope Or Guillotine

Part crust, part d-beat, part screamo and part sludge. This now expired group out of Bodo Norway didn't make much of a splash state-side, but put out some fantastic records.

So impressed with this group, Phil Elverum, of The Microphone/Mount Eerie brought the band to America to re-record and re-release this album on his Anacortes, WA based label P. Elverum & The Sun, despite the fact they had been broken up for a year.

Armed with anti-capitalist lyrics, anarchist backing this band played a variety of squats and DIY shows all throughout Europe and even a short US tour. Citing influences from Zegota to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, there's something for everyone in this band.

World Burns To Death - Totalitarian Sodomy

Dudes from bands you know and love. Personally my top 5 in d-beat style bands. I'm not giving this a full review or description because it will be 20 pages long about how this band is better than 99.999% of music out there, just check it out and buy the record.
