Yes! It was expected that this would be a busy month but it has gone beyond all expectations… 4 highly acclaimed releases and their premiere at the Record Planet mega record fair in the Netherlands (one of the best editions in recent memory) made the first two weeks of this November 2025 insanely hectic in a positive way.  So for this introduction we’ll get straight to the point without rambling so much. DISCHARGE “Tomorrow belongs to us?” gatefold LP, STALAG 17 “Distruggi la tua vecchia mente!! Discografia 1982-1983” LP, LUNA / LA STRADA gatefold LP+7”, GRČ “Sloboda narodu” LP are all out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records. As you might have guessed the diehard versions of both DISCHARGE and LUNA / LA STRADA have been sold out in the blink of an eye, there a few left of the black vinyl editions but they’re going fast, so don’t sleep on it too much.

All pre-orders have been shipped and track&trace updated, all wholesale are on their way to our usual dealers of choice, you know who they are and if you are used to taking from them know that they’ll be receiving them shortly. If this month has been dedicated to the most classic and seminal hardcore punk of the 80’s and two EX-YU darkwave/postpunk treasures, on December expect a change of course to much more extreme and ear-splitting territories and above all, the announcement of F.O.A.D. 400, so a massive and very important release for our label.. perhaps a boxset? Stay tuned!!!

DISCHARGE “Tomorrow belongs to us?” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 397)

FOR THE FIRST TIME ON VINYL! February 1982, just three months after the release of the seminal “Never again” EP and less than two months after their first ever gigs outside of the UK in Italy and Yugoslavia, DISCHARGE returned to play one of their legendary headline gigs at London’s infamous 100 Club on Oxford Street. The gig, captured here was recorded before the studio session for their devastating debut album, and sees them hammer through nearly twenty bone breaking assaults of maximum possible musical expression with startling ferocity; a set that was culled solely from their first five releases, “Realities of war”, “Fight back”, “Decontrol”, “Why” and “Never again”!
One of the very last times that some of these songs would be played live ever, and by the “classic” line up of Bones, Rainy, Cal and Garry to a howling mob of insane youth – “Tomorrow belongs to us?” is a perfect snapshot in time of the transitionary period between the band’s early records and their next musical step with the “Hear nothing…” LP. Issued with unique gatefold sleeve artwork based solely upon original period designs reflecting the era and the DIY merchandise aesthetic that they self-produced, and a 32 page booklet filled with early fanzine interviews, rare flyers, and photos, this once again proves why DISCHARGE are considered the most influential hardcore punk band of all time!

STALAG 17 “Distruggi la tua vecchia mente!! Discografia 1982-1983” LP (F.O.A.D. 371)

Another hidden gem of raging Italian punk straight from the legendary “furious years of Italian hardcore”! Hailing from Bologna, formed in 1981 in the same scene that also gave rise to Nabat and Raf Punk – STALAG 17, in their short existence were delivering no frills hardcore with the unmatchable formula of that era that consists of short, fast, angry songs and a highly politicized attitude…  This complete discography, fully supervised by the band, compiles the following works:
– 2 songs from “Schiavi nella città più libera del mondo” (Attack Punk, 1982)
– songs from “Né buoni né cattivi… soltanto incazzati” Split 7″ with IRAH (Attack Punk, 1983)

LUNA / LA STRADA “Hokej Klub Virginitas” gatefold LP+7″ (F.O.A.D. 394)

Official reissue of this iconic Yugoslavian tape, appearing for the first time on vinyl! There are cult Balkan bands and there is LUNA. Emerged from the arty punk and post punk scene in Novi Sad in the late 70s, with some of the most prominent musicians from other big bands of the time (such as the young guitarist from Pekinška Patka, Bale, or the drummer from the mega-influential new wave YU rock band Ekatarina Velika and drum innovator Firchie) and with Jasmina on synth and Slobodan Tišma, one of the most influential poets/writers in the Balkans. They were active for a very short period and played probably less than 30 gigs, but they did in Yugoslavia what JOY DIVISION did globally. Their only album, “Nestvarne stvari”, was released posthumously in 1984 in a limited edition, and the cassette compilation “Hokej Klub Virginitas” was released in 1988 in only 100 copies, collecting their early tracks from 1982/1983. Here it is available again as a deluxe gatefold LP adding a bonus 7″ with two songs from the early days of LA STRADA (LUNA side project) with liner notes by Belgrade underground post punk wizard Nikola Vitković. Incredibly influential darkwave/proto-goth that ranks among the best and most original ones of the golden era of post/punk in Yugoslavia. As a bonus, you’ll also find a download card with the entire album + a rare LUNA track not included on the vinyl release! Made in cooperation with Guranje S Litice, a unique museum of Balkan underground music…

GRČ “Sloboda narodu” LP (F.O.A.D. 088)

By popular demand, we’re glad to announce a new pressing of this highly acclaimed gem from the 80’s Yugoslavian underground!! GRČ formed in 1982 in the prolific punk/dark/new wave scene of Rijeka, Croatia. Their album “Sloboda narodu”, originally released in 1987 on cassette only, represents one of the most gloomy and hopeless expressions of negativity that any genre labeled as dark, death-rock, or post-punk has ever conceived. It exudes blood, secular darkness, and anguish in its purest form. Their musical approach is a solid blend of doom tinged post-industrial rock and uncompromising dark punk atmospheres. The incredible downtuned voice of their ominous frontman Zoff consolidates a feeling of solemn black decadence that goes hand in hand with wonderful lyrics, a desperate cry for freedom in a landscape of war, urban decay, and social oppression. Remastered from the original 1/4″ reels, packaged in a reverse board avana jacket with an 8-page booklet featuring rare photos, flyers and lyrics (also translated in English).

We’re gradually approaching the end of the year and – if all goes well – we’ll close it as one of the most prolific years in the history of F.O.A.D. Records: so far, we haven’t missed a single month, there have always been releases, and no delays!  And this November also looks set to be terrific.  This is the kind of month that really highlights the versatility on which our effort is based, a great open-mindedness in ranging across different underground genres…: you get a UK hardcore super-classic, a lost&found gem from the highly respected “furious years of Italian hardcore punk”, and two incredible milestones from the fantastic new wave/post-punk scene of the 80’s former Yugoslavia. The first is a recurring name for those who follow F.O.A.D., the undisputed heroes of British hardcore, pioneers of everything that is extreme, raging, loud and impactful… DISCHARGE, with the scorching live LP “Tomorrow belongs to us?” enriched by a stunning packaging. Still in the hardcore punk battleground, from Bologna/Italy we have STALAG 17 with their 1982-1983 discography “Distruggi la tua vecchia mente!!” (Destroy your old mind), and veering completely towards darker and more post-punk/goth/darkwave vibes, moving towards our beloved former Yugoslavia, we have LUNA / LA STRADA with the LP+7“ reissue of their legendary tape “Hokej Klub Virginitas” and the second pressing of GRČ‘s “Sloboda narodu”, an incredible classic between post-punk and deathrock from the gray city of Rijeka. 

So, to sum it all up: DISCHARGE “Tomorrow belongs to us?” gatefold LP, STALAG 17 “Distruggi la tua vecchia mente!! Discography 1982-1983” LP, LUNA / LA STRADA gatefold LP+7”, GRČ “Sloboda narodu” LP are all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com  As always, we have prepared a limited bundle for those who want to buy all 4 diehard editions of these releases in one go. Considering that DISCHARGE is in high demand, it won’t last long, so be fast!  As always, we advise you not to wait too long if you want to get your hands on the limited editions (splatter/marble). Take last month as an example: two out of four are already sold out… And one last thing: please don’t bombard us with unnecessary requests such as substitutions in orders already placed, address changes, payment changes – all this delays our daily work, delays the shipments themselves, and causes us a lot of stress. Once an order is placed, be patient and you will receive everything as soon as possible. 

And now here are the detailed descriptions of the 4x nuclear stockpiles in this round of releases…:

4 x Swedish hardcore rippers and the definitive, expanded version of the classic DISCHARGE “Noise not music” book enriched by a 4 x CD set with rare recordings 1980-1983… this is what we offer you this month, nothing more and nothing less! Another glorious hardcore death-race on F.O.A.D., the result of the usual manic work of painstaking research and assembly.  And a pairing that fits perfectly: there’s no doubt that Discharge had a strong influence on the first wave of Scandinavian hardcore, so putting together 4 x Swedish HC ragers from the 80s and a mammoth audio & visual collection on Discharge from their 1980-19893 heyday is surely a formula that will be enjoyed by many… All the Swedish releases have been made with the support of Uproar Records and consist of: the fuzzy and irreverent TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR, with their primitive and rough hardcore “trash” attack; the obscurity of ORAL, with straightforward hardcore in pure Scandinavian school (think Anti Cimex, Totalitär, Avskum); KRUNCH – on their second F.O.A.D. release, this time a complete collection of all their singles released in the 80s, and NYX NEGATIV with by popular demand a reissue of the LP discography already released on F.O.A.D. two years ago.  What to say about the DISCHARGE book, to quote the mastermind that assembled this beast, namely Rich Walker of the legendary SORE THROAT: “In 1980, four teenagers from the darkest depths of Stoke On Trent exploded onto the world punk scene with the subtlety of a nuclear warhead detonation. Collected across this revised and expanded edition of 4 x CD’s, and accompanied by a hardback book with 100 full-color pages of rare band photos, flyers and original magazine features, is a monstrously detailed historical dissemination documenting the band’s unrelenting assault upon HC punk audiences worldwide”.

To sum up, June on F.O.A.D. Records will delight you with the following sonic crimes: DISCHARGE “Noise not music 1980-1983” BOOK + 4xCD, TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR “Complete Noise 1982-1986…” LP+CD, ORAL “Dystopisk Framtid” LP, KRUNCH “Honänu – En samling 1983/1989” LP and NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP (2nd edition). Preorders are up now at www.scareystore.com !!  As always, a few recommendations that we ask you to read and keep in mind: we have made available two different bundles at a discounted price.. one for those who want to grab all of this month’s releases together, and one including only the diehard versions of the 4 x Swedish HC releases. We suggest you to act fast because they are time limited and will expire before the out-now date (June 17).  PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OPENING OF THESE PRE-SALES WE HAVE ALSO APPLIED 10% OFF ON ALL VINYL AND CDS IN OUR HUGE MAILORDER CATALOG AT WWW.SCAREYSTORE.COM – don’t miss your chance!  And very last thing: we repeat it all the time but few people pay attention…the amount of orders we have to process daily is really challenging and stressful, especially when it comes to a pre-orders phase like this. Please don’t bombard us with requests that put us in a bind such as additions or replacement of items after the pre-order is complete, address changes, anxiety about getting the tracking number right away, and so on.  This wastes a lot of our time and slows down our schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Yes!! Just in time for the end of the year, with the usual delay from the pressing plant, we’re honored to announce that DISCHARGE “Noise not music” Boxset (hardcover book, 3x LPs, 1x 7″ + poster) is out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records! No words enough to describe the feeling when we opened the first box and put the records on our turntables, it’s simply a BEAST of a work. We want to thank Rich Walker with all our heart for the incredible effort and amount of time spent in putting together such an incredible thing, and the band members + friends that contributed to the book and helped to make this possible.

As we previously explained, there was a small variation in the final colors of the limited editions… We’re starting to ship your preorders from January 2nd. Please be patient because there are tons of them, we’ll work day and night to get them mailed as fast as possible and we are hopefully sorting out a deal with a courier to have all the European orders sent with an express service, so even those who opted for the “non registered Mbag” shipping will get them faster than what they expect. Both limited colored versions (electric blue and striped blue/black) are sold out on preorder, don’t sleep on the black one because it won’t last for long.

* A2 Promotional Poster 

DISCHARGE was more than just a noise, the band was a musical reaction to the brutal times and circumstances faced by people in the U.K. under the Thatcher regime, they were also a voice for the “X” generation without a future; but most importantly, they were FAST, RAW, LOUD, HARDCORE PUNK!  CRACK YOUR BRAIN UP!

Black vinyl limited to 600

Finally, a first stock of DISCHARGE “Noise not music” Boxsets has been delivered to our warehouse and we’re happy to say that it looks and sounds perfectly,  with no doubt it’s the most deluxe FOAD release so far.

Unfortunately, however, there is also a small negative note: due to a mistake at the pressing plant, what was supposed to be the “splatter” version came out as plain electric blue vinyl with no black splattering. So what we have pre-sold and announced as splatter is actually “electric blue“. The striped version was pressed correctly. We’re posting some photos here so you can clearly see how it looks like.

Both respectively limited to 180 copies (electric blue) and 200 copies (striped). Yes, there are 20 copies less than what was expected for the electric blue version, don’t worry because no order will be changed, we’re just taking some off from those reserved by local record shops because they are good with the black vinyl one.  We apologize for this mistake but it was completely out of our control. It’s still the most limited version and most important the audio and visual contents are the same as on the other editions.. thanks in advance for understanding.

Orders will start to ship from January 2nd, please be patient because there are tons of them, we’ll try to be as fast as possible.
