IT'S FINALLY HERE. Three years in the making. FOSTER CARE are back with a follow up to their killer STERILIZATION album and this thing is a knockout rager from top to bottom. Now out and up on the site. Get your mitts on this thing and if you get a chance to see them live do. One of the best lives bands going. Up next we have the QUINTRON- Erotomania 12" on MIND MELD and the debut ARCHAEAS 7" on TOTAL PUNK. Check out the B side of the ARCHAEAS 7" as well as some MAYHEM ON MILLS action here.
Speaking of MAYHEM ON MILLS lots of you have been hitting me up about purchasing TPW swag. We're in the process of building a website but in the meantime I'll be slinging TOTAL PUNK WRESTLING gear on the Floridas Dying site. And if you are looking for more TOTAL PUNK threads FOSTER CARE left us a small number of T shirts to coincide with the release of their new album.
Lastly we got some great stuff in this week from SORRY STATE and SPLATTERED RECORDS. We got the new ISS 12", 7" coming soon on TOTAL PUNK, as well as the DAS DRIP LP. And if you aren't hip to SPLATTERED yet they are quickly becoming my new favorite reissue label and have two new reissues out including the BLITZKRIEG- Buried Alive 7". A few years ago Ryan from Scavenger of Death and I were toying with the idea of starting a NWOBHM reissue label and on the top of our list was this BLITZRIEG 7". Thankfully SPLATTERED did the legwork and made this reissue a reality. Pick it up and while you are at it pick up all of their other releases. Till next time,.
THanks, Rich |

| | New York’s Foster Care is back with a brand new LP for Total Punk, and the first since adding Allison Busch (Awesome Colors, Call Of The Wild) on drums. El Abuso finds Foster Care at their most realized. It’s tight wound, ferocious, dark and dare I say smart. Has Foster Care grown up? Have they left their foster parents for the half way house? An 11 song nineteen minute punk maelstrom. This isn't a collection of songs it's a heaving beast. An absolutely relentless wall of pounding drums, vicious guitar, and gnarly bass rumble with Chris Teenager biting the air above it all. They even finds some moments to get weird and reflective between the throbbing outburst and violent spasms. Mean, loud, and 100% TOTAL PUNK! |

| One of thee most coveted NWOBHM records to date. Not for it’s rariety, but purely for it’s contribution to this monumental era of heavy metal. Popularized when covered by Metallica, this small piece of wax carries a lot of weight. Originally released as NEAT Records number 10, and now back as Splattered’s 17th. | | |

|
|
| Politically charged, militaristic rock n’ roll made by shaved-headed hordes during the golden era of UK punk. Includes 3 blistering tracks that followed the Orders of the Day E.P; ‘Rapist’, ‘Right to Choose’, and ‘Barry Prudom.’ These songs have inspired entire generations of Oi that have continued their love for the band to this day. Now back and more affordable than ever. | | |

| Maybe Das Drip is for people who don’t like hardcore anymore because of the macho attitudes, unimaginative tunes, uninspired playing, or any number of other valid reasons. Really, though this record is perfect for anyone who wants the opposite of a Spotify playlist with the word “chill” in the title. | | |

| As the novelty of ISS’s schtick—constructing new songs from samples of classic punk records—wears off and the project gathers the patina of maturity, Alles 3rd Gut doesn’t sound like passing of a fad, but rather the cementing of an aesthetic. With the possible exception of “Elevator Shaft” (which, incidentally, features a memorable guest vocal from Miss Lady of Warm Bodies and BB Eye), the samples on Alles 3rd Gut draw less attention to themselves, getting out of the way so as to spotlight the first-class lyrics and songwriting that have kept every ISS record glued to my turntable for months on end. | | |
