Thanks Demo Tapes for the ripping and to Matt Jukebox for cutting up the tape into actuall songs for me. Now it's just up to me to reap the benefits of your hard work haha.

A great and rare cassette tape with The uprise even though they call themselfs Suburban Uprise on this demo. The trackorder is somewhat of a mystery and a bit chaotic but there are 15 songs all in all. All recorded live back in 1987.

Classic songs like Skinhead march and Winning the war can be found here and it's quite surprising how good it actually sounds for a liverecording ripped from a cassette that has been in someones drawer for almost 25 years.

For more info about the band around this time read this great interview where they talk about their issues with Maximum Rock'n'roll among many things.

Slapshot recording new album (teaser).

Will end the Slapshot discography by promoting their upcomming album. Hopefully we can see a new album in 2012. No label is clear and hardly any info is available to date but here is one of the newly recorded songs called I believe. Sounds great

Slapshot "covering" Stars & Stripes '11

Slapshot has yet again reunited and even if the lineup is far from original the sound is the same. All we can do now is hope for a Stars & Stripes reunion (ignoring that awefull release some years ago). Video shot some months ago in Massachusetts.

Trailer for the Slapshot documentary.

Chip on my shoulder released 2005. Worth watching.

Slapshot - Tear it down CD (2005)

Tracklist:
01. Relight the fire
02. Fuck New York
03. Terrorized
04. Rap sucks
05. Tear it down
06. Spread the fear
07. Hardcore rules

Released by Thorp Records in 2005. Also released on LP with 2 aditional songs as a bonus.

The band got a bit of recognition at this time in their career and many of the new generation of the Hardcore youth choose this bands honesty towards the old days over the crossculture hiphop bullshit or the MTV metal offered by many other bands in the scene. Great music for old fucks basicly.
The band also got their own documentary this year by the name Chip on my shoulder. A great watch with lots of old stories by the bandmembers and "scene people".

I really liked the sound on this album and as short as it might be it doesnt fall into the same reinventing trap as many of their former albums did. They keep it simple and slow leaning towards punk more than hardcore and thats the sound i prefer most.

Best songs on the album are Spread the fear and Fuck New York.
8/10

The record is for purchase at most major and small distros on the net. A simple search will help you find it.

Slapshot - The New England production session PROMO 7'' (2003)

Tracklist:
01. Old tyme hardcore
02. Identity
03. Secrets
04. Digital warfare
05. Back on the map

This EP was limited to 500 copies and was given away for free when pre-ordering the Digital warfare LP from Bridge Nine Records.

The record was recorded live when playing the 101.7 WFNX in September 28th, 2003.

It's a nice little collectable but like most other live records it's basicly just bad versions of studiorecorded songs you already have. Though i must say the song Back on the map has aged well with the band and actually sounds even more intense and brutal than it did when they originally recorded it back in the 80's.
