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…:
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)

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:

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).
