Rough and punk, super early NYHC. I love the raw recording and basic song structure. I swear to god this came out 20 years ago. So good, reminds me of Life's Blood. Hardcore punk at its best. I really like this. usscoot@yahoo.com

It all started in 1991 with Glen on drums , Tony on Bass and Rod on Guitar . This singerless lineup banged around Glen basement for years . It was during this time that , with Rod living out of state , Glen and Tony had a brief stint playing in Setback. Eventually they had realized that their musical vision wasn't being fulfilled , and by coincidence , Rod had moved back to New York and wanted to start the band back up . So , they recruited long time friend and Goatamentise singer Martin . After 4 long years , the lineup was now complete and the onslaught began. In the spring of 1996 Billy Club Sandwich recorded and released their first demo which contained four songs in the classic heavy Billy Club Sandwich style . The release of this demo coincided with their first show at The Wetlands on May 19th with Madball , 25 Ta Life , Indecision , Powerhouse , and the first Agnostic Front 2 song reunion . It didn't take long before Billy Club Sandwich was getting known for their live shows and stage antics , gaining a soild reputation for delivering powerful Hardcore , New York Style. 2001 finds BCS ready to flex their muscle on the world stage with the release of "Superheroes At Leisure", a 6-song CD EP on Inner Strength Records. There has also been another lineup change, with Matt stepping down and Gary Muttley from Five Minute Major taking over on bass. This change has without a doubt created the strongest incarnation of BCS ever! Routinely headlining sold out shows at Castle Heights in Queens , New York . Billy Club Sandwich are now at their peak , focusing their aggression while assulting people with the most innovative Hardcore / Metal in New York today . Shortly after these releases , a line up change was inevitable when Rod had to leave the band due to personal reasons. At this point , Tony switched from Bass to Guitar and the empty Bass spot was soon filled by their friend Matt who , with his whirling dirvish of hair and Bass playing style , fit the Billy Club Sandwich style perfectly . It was with this current line up that Billy Club Sandwich headed back to their old stampin ground and were recorded on WNYU's " Crucial Chaos " show. This recording was released in 1999 as a tape and over 1000 copies were sold by years end . The year 2000 saw a limited number of WNYU recordings show up on CD version where most were distributed in the New York Area as well as a few hundred being sold directly in Europe when Glen filled in as a drummer for No Redeeming Social Value on a September 2000 European tour. Billy Club Sandwich were then approached by Nawpost Records and in the Fall of 1998 a 7" E.P. named " Hold The Bologna " was released . This E.P. on Nawpost contained four songs with a very aggressive sound and prouduction . With some of the lyrics written in Spanish , Billy Club Sandwich broadened their fanbase and appeal to a much larger New York and East Coast audience. With the release of this 7 " Billy Club Sandwich showed tremendous growth potentialelling out the first pressing of 2000 records in a matter of months. They also released a two song split 7" with Everybody Gets Hurt on Back Ta Basics. An instant sell out as well.

http://www.deadcityny.com/swish.jpg'> SWISH "Alles Still Goed" CD Swish features members of AWKWARD THOUGHT (USA), NO REDEEMING SOCIAL VALUE (USA), and BACKFIRE (Holland). When these 3 bands teamed up in the studio, the result was phenomenal. This CD contains Hardcore Punk anthems created and recorded in less time than most bands would record a single song. Contains all Swish songs ever recorded over a 2 year period. Track Listing: 1.RUMERS ABOUT RUMERS 2.MAURICE THE PLACE 3.GET UP 4.OVERTIME 5.HOU D'N WAFFEL 6.CHEW THE GUM 7.I THOUGHT I KNEW TURTLES 8.HOORUH 9.LEAVE ME ALONE 10.IECH HOOF GEINE HOND 11.KINSUM <http://www.wmtd.nl/photos/templates/spacer-grey.gif> <http://www.wmtd.nl/photos/templates/sectio...usicreviews.gif> <http://www.wmtd.nl/photos/templates/spacer-grey.gif> Swish - Alles Stil Goed Mcd (Dead City / Education Records) Man this is funny shit! When Richie Backfire! went to New York a couple of times, he jammed with members of Awkard Thought and No Redeeming Social Value. And that resulted in a 7" with four songs and now this cd with eleven songs. All the songs were written in only a couple of hours but nevertheless it's actually quite amusing. The band totally reminds me NRSV, due to the voice of course, but also the same crazy style. Songs like "Maurice The Place", "Hou D'n Waffel" and "Iech Hoof Geine Hond" leave me with a big smile on my face. In most of the songs there's some Dutch lyrics which makes everything even funnier. Good release if you wanna have some fun again

We called it the Wolfpack We called it UNITED BLOOD Wore chains around our waists And CONSTRUCTION GLOVES Thompkins Sq. on a saturday night See my brother, he's in a fight They got him down, it's 3 on 1 10 of us show, GUESS WHO WON? We hung out on 7th and A Friends worked the door We didn't have to pay Boston came around one night Push came to shove and WE WERE DOWN TO FIGHT We have seen the backstab blood Most came and fuckin' went They played the part And they wore the right clothes But they didn't know What the fuck it meant And I see it today My backstabbing brothers Believeing the lies That they're telling each other And I know I'll be here When they're gone 'Cuz the New York Brotherhood Is where my heart belongs In rememberance of old New York And to my friends And the ones I've fought A special place left in my heart Those days are gone, man But they're not forgot

SICK OF IT ALL LYRICS "Just Look Around" The question they keep asking me how can one so young be so bitter and angry well, the answer is plain to see maybe if they wern't so blind they'd see what i see i see the homeless livin' out on the street on every corner they're asking for money i try to help them whenever i can but sometimes i can't afford to help myself i see diseases and modern plagues of our times the greed of our leaders has made them blind to our problems they spend millions overseas, people right here are fightin' wars everyday I see the whites that hate the blacks blacks against the jews, race against religion and the're all too blind to see When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease it keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please election time comes and they're out for votes that's when you see and hear from them the most this is what they're calling a democracy that's just another word for hypocrisy we keep fallin' for the bait when we realize, it's always too late I see the whites that hate the blacks blacks that hate the jews, brother against brother and they're all to blind to see As the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry i've seen the toll it takes on the workingman's family education system that's obsolete can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street see a father's fear, hear a mother's cry what kind of a nation lets their children die government's corrupt and full of red tape then you're gonna ask me why i hate Why don't you open up your eyes so you can see open up your ears so you can hear take a look around and you will find take a look around and you will find out why
