OK so I am doing something here that I generally wouldn’t do. I am taking some tracks from another site and posting them here. My rationale is this:
1. I hate that RapidShare shit. Waiting an hour between downloads and all. I understand that not everyone has access to server space and you gotta do what you gotta do. If the only way you can share cool (out of print) shit is via RapidShare, more power to you. But it IS a pain in the ass to download from.
2. There has been an overwhelming demand on this site for the first skaterock tape and I was downloading it for myself anyway.
3. The site it came from seems rather questionable and I don’t really want to point my readers there. If it had been one of the other sites in the blogoshpere that I am even remotely familiar with, I would have just supplied a link. Even 7inch Punk. Ha…Because I am truly a team player.
So…the compression on this one is stronger than you are used to from me. Nothing I can do about that. Not my rip. I never owned this tape because I was a record collector and this wasn’t available on vinyl. I did have a tape of it way back when and I remember loving it. I think it was my first introduction to The Drunk Injuns in fact.
What stands out now is how kick ass a band Riot.303 were. The tracks on this comp by them are fucking amazing! Does anyone have their Crowd Control 7inch from 82? Is it as good as the shit on here?
Other than that, I don’t feel this is as solid a comp as Volume 2 which is almost perfect. Minus One and The Black Athletes are both terrible and there just isn’t as much of a variety. Still any comp with Drunk Injuns and Riot.303 is better than most.
On a technical note, to save my sanity I have decided to start posting certain albums with lotsa tracks as .rar files.
1. Los Olvidados – Listen To You: Like I said on the first post, I just never really got into this band’s sound too much. Kinda Oi-ish mid-tempo punk wrock. Currently available and remastered here.
2. Big Boys – Red/Green: A classic Big Boys tune and much better than the version on Live At Rauls. Currently available here.
3. Riot.303 – Murder The Prime Minister: Wow! This is the dude from Beyond Possession. I don’t remember this one as all. Good gnarly skate rock tune with none of the crossover overtones of Beyond Possession.
4. Minus One – Bored of It: I hate this song. On many levels.
5. The Faction – A.U.K: Great band. Kinda like a skate-punk version of We Don’t Need The English. Available here.
6. Skoundrelz – Exterminator: Kinda weird, kinda generic. Tony Alva’s band. Their name reminds me of Bill and Ted’s band “The Wyld Stallynz”. The have a website here.
7. Drunk Injuns – Program: Awwww yeah. One of thier best songs EVER. Singer comes in on this one like Ian Curtis then lyrically it moves into a western mystical vibe with its “Magic man converting heaven from hell†stuff and then after the first verse, the guitar starts doing some wacky shit. Flash forward to the end. He’s freaking out. Fuckin GENIUS. Its remastered and available here. Don’t be a pussy. Buy this now.
8. JFA – Great Equalizer: Good early JFA song. I like this one. My introduction to JFA was from these Thrasher comps and I remember never liking any of their other stuff as much. JFA is available here.
9. Riot.303 – Skate Punx: OK. I really like this band. I forgot about this completely. I’ve always been on the fence with Beyond Possession but Riot.303 is the real deal.
10. Minus One – I Remember John: Fuck John Lennon, man. My favorite Beatle was Mickey Dolenz.
11. Los Olvidados – Don’t Cry: Remember when I said I didn’t really get into these guys? Well after “I Remember Johnâ€, this sounds like the greatest thing ever recorded. Available here.
12. Minus One – The Kid’s Don’t Skate Here: OK, at this point, I can’t possibly be objective about this band.
13. Skoundrelz – Jimmy Closet: I keep seeing Bill and Ted rockin out in the garage with these guys. Not bad. Kinda generic though.
14. Riot.303 – Depression Session: OK I’m a fan of Riot.303. Check out the Iggy vocal shit he’s doing!
15. Drunk Injuns – Your Mama: One of my least favorite Drunk Injuns songs. What does that mean though? It means it’s still better than 99 percent of anything else. Available here.
16. Black Athletes – Die Laughing: What the fuck is this? I would rather hear Die Laughing by RKL.
17. Faction – Boredom Awaits: Actually boredom arrived halfway during The Black Athletes track. Thanks for alleviating it. Available here.
18. Los Olvidados – You’re Dull: If you like this band, you will like this song. Available here.
19. Minus One – Nick Of Time: BLEAURGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
20. Riot 303 – Nightmares of Another Kind: A little more moody than the other tracks. Points forward to Tell Tale Heart. A retrospective of this band needs to be released NOW. Seriously…Last Days Of Man Records Volume 001. I’m on it.
21. Drunk Injuns – Pumpshank: At this point, you know how I feel about this band. here.
I have a copy of that Riot .303 “crowd control” record. Its good shit; they went on to become Beyond Possession
fuck..I am dumb. No shit they went on to BP, it says so in your write-up. Duh.
I actually remember like Minus One. Cannot remember how they sound now but kind of like Agent Orange?
Kennyhel77
Agent Orange? More like Orange Juice. Check the tape out…especially “john Lennon” and let me know.
You know, if there was some nice person out there that might have a rip of the “Crowd Control” 45 to put up on LDoMoE, they would probably be well-liked (chad??)…i would love to hear it!! I’ve been looking for it on the bay, but haven’t seen it. Wasn’t one of the tracks on KBD 5 or 6?? As for Minus One, sorry Joe, but i kinda like ‘em. Yes, “I Remember John” is really stupid, but “The Kids Don’t Skate Here” and “Nick Of Time” have a cool new-wavy guitar sound. Besides, orange juice is good for you…
I was talking about this Orange Juice! There’s no accounting for taste!
But c’mon Chad…hook us up!!!!
wow, was just thinking about posting some requests for thrasher skaterock tapes this morning!
THANK YOU!
If Chad doesn’t want to hook it up then I will but I have the EP on CDR. If you’re still interested or not let me know.
Youi are one nice and noble man, Joe!
Thanks Erich. I just saw Milky’s Bar and am currently laughing my ass off by the way. Fuckin’ HI-larious. I’m gonna post some metal in the next few days as a show of solidarity man!
Anonymous – drop me a line. I would love to hear that Riot.303 7inch.

yes i agree rapidshare is shit but it is stable and now keeps the files for 45 days. Is it a reason to upload the files there ? maybe yes.
There are also quicsharing, media fire, eggdisk,snapdrive and other which i prefer.
But there is a little trick. If you don’t want to wait to download from rapidshare disconnect from the internet, clean from the browser the cookies, wait a minute and connect again that’s it. If you do that, rapidshare will see different IP than before and let you download immediately. I use this trick very often. (that works only if you have dynamic IP not static)
Ummm, Joe . . . Mr. Stumble? Where you at?
Listen, I know we’re all excited the The Police (TM) are touring again, but I can’t believe you’re already camped out for tickets, man. C’mon back . . . it’s gotta be gettin cold.
yo fnordboy — I’m back!!!!!
OH MAN…I had this cassette tape years ago and i’ve wanted to get my hands on it recently. I’ve been searching high and low and tonight – on a whim – I decide to type “Thrasher Skate Rock Volume 1″ into the Google search engine and….BAM!!!
There it is staring me right in front of my eyes. Man, I thought I was going to have to fly back to my parents’ house in Michigan (I live in Seattle now) to get these track again.
Now, guilty pleasure here – I actually like the Minus One tracks. Honestly, they are the reason I sought this volume out so badly. Power-pop was always my secret crush.
Do you happen to have the Skate Rock volume that has The Necros covering “Walking the Dog”?
This kicks ass.
The Necros track was from the Flipside comp…”Hi, we’re the Necros”…
many many thanks for that!!!!
people like you make the world go `round!!!!
after all these years……

the black athletes was a band of all black dudes who would play in dolphin shorts and those tank-top jerseys with the little holes everywhere. they looked like runners or exercisers. i really can’t recall a single song or what they sounded like at all. i just remember them playing and thinking that they were quite humorous. rkl had a song called keep laughing. rkl’s singer, jason sears, however did die laughing.
Black Athletes – Die Laughing is one of the best songs on that comp. Ripping on Minus One? You have no taste. Every song on that comp is gold.
I once owned “Frontside Grind” and the skate rock video with the Injuns. I love them too, but you are a fag, probably too young to appreciate what those bands were doing.
Anyway, fuck you.
Hey “late”, take a little time out of your busy schedule trolling websites in the middle of the night, to look around Last Days. I’m probably older than you. I definitely understand and appreciate what it was all about. I’m also smarter than you because you are clearly a retarded jackoff who doesn’t even understand the internet.
Thanks for writing in, dipshit.
Hey Joe,
Fuck You. This comp is better the 99% of any other ‘Skate Rock’ Thrasher put out. Just because you first listened to this a few months ago before you wrote the review, doesn’t mean it wasn’t revolutionary for those of us who grew up on it in the early 80′s. Oh have have I said ‘late’ was right? Well he is. Fuck you and your review.
Wow…what a dork. Writing in with a different email address doesn’t hide the fact that you’re the same guy, moron. Your IP address is the same.
Once you start boring me, I will stop approving your moronic comments. But for now they are so damn entertaining, I’m gonna keep approving them so that I can make fun of how dumb you are.
In fact, you’re right too…”Die Laughing” is a great song. I’m doing it right now on your stupid ass.
sk8 and destroy dipshit!
