A comprehensive collection tracing the band’s formative years, featuring their seminal 7″ EP, a rare advance tape originally circulated exclusively to record labels, and tracks culled from long out-of-print compilation appearances.

IMPACT / EU’S ARSE “Split”12″(F.O.A.D. 419)
The official audiophile reissue of one of the undisputed holy grails of early Italian hardcore!
Originally self-released by the bands in 1983 as a 7″ EP with a DIY xeroxed sleeve, this landmark recording captured the most furious, distorted and uncompromising spirit of the first Italian hardcore wave. Like countless DIY punk records of its era, the original EP was all about fitting as much music as possible onto a self-financed release. More than ten minutes were cut onto each side of a 7″, a bold choice that perfectly reflected the urgency of the time, while inevitably pushing the format beyond its ideal sonic limits. For this definitive reissue, the original 1/4″ analogue master reel has been meticulously transferred and restored, then mastered for a 12″ cut at 45 RPM. Freed from the constraints of the original format, these recordings finally reveal their full dynamic range. The closest you’ll ever get to hearing these recordings exactly as they exploded from the master tape in 1983! To preserve the authentic DIY spirit of the original release, the record comes housed in an old-school 6-panel fold-out sleeve faithfully recreating the artwork, packaging and atmosphere of the first pressing + additional outer jacket with die-cut stickers. An essential release for anyone devoted to the rawest and most uncompromising early 80s Italian hardcore!!

Available in the following versions:
Black vinyl limited to 200 copies.

Diehard crystal clear vinyl limited to 100 copies.

CRAPPING DOGS “I will spit on your grave” LP(F.O.A.D. 412)
Another long-lost gem of Italian hardcore punk from the legendary “Furious Years”, unearthed and brought back to light by your F.O.A.D. maniacs!!
Hailing from Genova, CRAPPING DOGS were active only between 1981 and 1983, but left behind a blazing legacy. Their sound fused the raw edge of late ’70s punk and new wave with the speed and intensity of first-wave hardcore drawing inspiration from bands such as Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, and Discharge, while forging a distinctly Italian identity alongside pioneers like Peggio Punx, Wrong Boys, Fall Out, and many more! This ultra-manic complete discography (27 TRACKS!) collects the band’s cult demotape, their tracks from the classic “Raptus: Negazione e Superamento” compilation LP, and as an incredible bonus, 4 previously unreleased early tracks sourced from a private tape that has remained unheard until now. The LP comes housed with a 24-page fanzine-style booklet, packed with extensive liner notes by two original band members, rare photos, flyers, fanzine excerpts, and a wealth of archival material.
