RSR

​ ​ ​ ​ ​RSR 115: Cellgraft - External Habitation - 7": Cellgraft are Tampa Bays hybrid of both fellow Floridians ​ ​​Assuck​​ ​ and coastal neighbours ​ ​​Insect Warfare​​ ​ in a true old school Grindcore fashion. Adopting Assuckian rampant yet co-ordinated blasting and twisting microscopic observant demise preaching lyricism, and the ever infamous Insect Warfares face shredding screeching guitar work, they have worked out an formula I have yearned to hear in the spotlight of Grind. Originally selfreleased as tape in 2010, now first time on vinyl. Its so fast and tight. For fans of Insect Warfare, Carcass Grinder, and Unholy Grave. Includes a Napalm Death cover.​ ​ ​ ​​RSR 124: Defeat - demo 7": Now defunct, Perth, Australias all-star band demo finally out on vinyl. Take a part of HHIG, Terrorizer, Napalm Death, Tragedy, Neurosis and Skitsystem and you will get 7 tracks of brutal in your face HC/Grind/Crust mix, limited to 500 copies. ​​ ​ ​ ​​RSR 130: Cold War - Fast Berlin Hardcore - CD: Berlin, Germany's Cold War bring an abrasive hardcore/thrash/powerviolence attack to this release with plenty of speed and fury, taking influence from bands like Siege, Neanderthal/Crossed Out and Infest. 38 tracks including full 7", split 7" with Voetsek and an unreleased Citizens Arrest cover + live recordings from Napalm over Warsaw IV fest and a bunch of unreleased tracks, full history booklet with flyers etc. It's the final discography by the band with wellknown Iffi on vox, ex/current members of skrupel, cyness, SM-70/Pink Flamingos, Chainbreaker, Crude b.e, co-released by Deep Six Rec/RSR. ​​ ​ ​ ​​RSR 084: Brodys Militia - Covered In Violence - LP: Kentucky's most savage thrash assholes lovingly mutilate twelve punk and metal classics! From the thermonuclear caterwauling of the early years to the hardrock chainsaw barbarity of the current abomination, these recordings span BRODY'S MILITIA's entire decade-long career of rampant idiocy! Bloody fucking homage is paid in spades with crushing covers of NAPALM DEATH, LED ZEPPELIN, BLUE OYSTER CULT, DEATH SIDE,THE RAMONES, ANTISEEN and more! CD version includes the split EPs with RUPTURE and NUNSLAUGHTER plus the entire "Tribute Through Butchery" EP for maximum sonic cruelty. Brilliant cover art by Nor Prego. ​​ ​ ​ ​​RSR 106: Bastard - 7"-: This Las Vegas band comes with old school groovy Grindcore feat. CAPER (RIGHTEOUS PIGS, HENCHMEN) and TONY COSTANZA (MACHINE HEAD, CROWBAR , CRISIS, PAPSMEAR and TONY TRENT(51/50). Nice heavy grindy/Hardcore, thrash-style, with one of the best Hardcore vocals ever. 4 tracks of heavy, brutal in-your-face hardcore, with a hint of thrash. If you dig Righteous Pigs you'll love this too! ​​ ​ ​ ​​RSR 117.5 Extortion/Jed Whitey - 7": Repress of two of WA's finest punk outfits team up for a split 7" that's available on its own or bundled with subscription copies of Melbourne fanzine Distort, which is OOP. ​​ ​​Scratched and bloodied, Jed Whitey stumble back into base camp after what seems like years in the punk rock wilderness, but they somehow sound better for it. Their two contributions to the record, 'Punkrock Savant' and 'Punched in the Neck', were recorded a while back but their take on ballsy old-school punk rock with a little metal chucked in is something that will still hold up at any house party today. ​​ ​​Some have confused Extortion's raw unapologetic honesty with belligerence. And they're right: there's no hiding the bile that's simmering below the surface. Actually, there's no simmering with Extortion, just a boiling cauldron of potential third-degree burns. They like their hardcore as ragey and as fast as fuck as much as singer Rohan Harrison likes ranting about things that piss him off. Take 'Senile', for example, with Harrison screaming, "You're getting in my way stupid old man/Can't understand a word you say." It's something anyone who has been forced to stand in a bank line on pension day can relate to. ​​ ​​There is a definite skill and ability in being able to play with so much speed and aggression, and yet still sound this good. This 7" confirms it: Extortion are Australia's best hardcore punk band. ​​
