Stand Off - Over All 7"


Didn't know about this band until recently they were mentioned in the comments' section.
Stand Off were one of those late 90's hardcore punk bands from Wisconsin. In fact they had 2 members of the more wellknown Default.
Stand Off did another 7" which is a split with 10-96.
The 'Over All' 7" had 2 pressings: the 1st one is a split label release between Distraught Records and Power Ground Records. My copy is the 2nd press on Power Ground records, limited to 300 copies.
3rd track is 'Negative Thoughts' as stated on the label; the back of the sleeve states 'Stand Off' as title.
This one has no cat.# and I'm still looking to complete the label's discography.

Power Ground Records:
PGR 1 ????
PGR 2 Droids - Ja Bede Bardzo Droby 7"
PGR 3 Boris The Sprinkler/Droids - Split 7"
PGR 4 Remission - Fetus The Code 7"

V/A Necrophile Orgasm Tape


Here's a rare tape released in New Zealand sometime 1987/88 I guess.
New Zealand is known for it's early punk bands but for the rest the punk scene was quite isolated back in the 80's. Most bands kept playing the UK punk style and hardcore emerged quite late.
There were a handful of small punk labels like Sound Mind (run by the band Compos Mentis), Positive Youth Promotions (Armatrak, Five Year Mission) and Out Of Order. That label released a comp. 7" in 1987 with 5 HC bands which was the 1st stuff I ever heard from New Zealand. Out Of Order also released a Compos Mentis/Powerage split 7" and the very rare Nazgûl 12".
This comp. tape was released by Sonik Lobotomy Tapess. The sound quality is pretty lo-fi. This is a copy from a copy from a copy but I guess that the original tape doesn't sound much better. There's some noisy stuff on it as well.
Too lazy to type out the tracklist (I sent all info to KFTH and I scanned the full sleeve as well) but here's the band list:
Moral Fibre (4 tracks)
Casualty (3 tracks)
Genocide Factory (4 tracks)
Nazgûl (3 tracks)
Sticky Filth (4 tracks)
Wazzo Ghoti (3 tracks)
Necrophiliacs (1 track)
Exhibit A (2 tracks)
Survivors Of The Plague (3 tracks)
Satans Vomit (2 tracks)
Pain (1 track)
Cot Death (2 tracks)
