Although bands such as the Crumbsuckers, Agnostic Front, Leeway, Carnivore, and Nuclear Assault are rightfully cited as progenitors of the genre from the area, there are a few who helped cultivate this sound who were lost to the annals of time. One such band is Brooklyn, NY's Sarcasm. In an attempt to right that wrong, Radio Raheem is slapping both of Sarcasm's demos onto vinyl for the first time ever, tying it together with a bevy of photos and flyers and titling it "War-Song."

Raw Breed "Collected" captures all of the Denver, CO-based five-piece's recorded output from the year 2018.

Born in 1981 in Detroit, MI, Negative Approach was the undisputed champ of Midwestern hardcore in the early to mid-'80s. Led by John Brannon's hoarse wail, with O.P.

Their classic LP, "Tied Down," is still considered paramount by most hardcore fans new and old. Now available again on colored vinyl. LP includes a coupon for a free download of the entire album in MP3 format.
Toledo, OH's Blue Skies Burning was around from 1999-2002 and played an incredibly powerful brand of emotional hardcore.

Limited edition of 200 copies.
