Die Kreuzen
Another one of the best punk acts out there (first album, at least), and not a thread. Their 1984 self titled album is one of my favorite punk albums ever released. It's 21 sick as sh*t hardcore tunes that rip through your face in a half hour.
With their next album, October File, they began moving further toward alt. rock/punk. Later albums incorporated shoegaze and stuff. I like them, but the s/t holds a special place in my heart. |

These guys blew the doors off some Seattle venue in the early '90's. If I sound vague about that, well...I drank back then. I've never heard any recording that measured up to that show

I was too young - or, indeed, not born - when they were playing shows. But their first couple of releases were outstanding. Cows & Beer - **** yes.
Some of the best music that emerged from the hardcore punk thing in the US. It seems to be a common sentiment, from what I've read, that their shows usurped the recordings. A blistering live band apparently. Oh well, I'll make do with the records. Last edited by GravitySlips; 09-05-2013 at 08:44 PM. |

I agree that this band is an essential component of US hardcore.
I got into them too late, myself, but I think they beat most of their contemporaries. Way too unknown/underrated. Please listen

Not really. It all came about around the same time. Venom had been around since '79 and some proto-black metal groups were starting up in '82 but most of those groups didn't get into full swing until '84 (even then it was Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Mayhem. I wouldn't even say extreme metal had taken off off until '88 with like Old Funeral and stuff but my knowledge is biased towards Norway.)
I always fucking loved the vocals though. Too much hardcore just apes Black Flag or Bad Brains and this album stuck out like the sexiest of sore thumbs. |
