what do you know about...

skate thrash / grind bands and records?

i've been an avid collector of vinyl records since i was the age of eleven, this was back in '92. i listened to almost every genre of music and still do but nothing beats cross over thrash, grindcore, hardcore and punk rock tunes, when i skate. oh yeah, hip hop too but that's another story for another time.

there was a time when mp3s or mp3 players didn't exist and i had to dub / copy the music on my vinyl records to audio cassette tapes and listen to it on my portable audio cassette tape player, also known to most as, walkman. it kept me hyped while i pushed my board around the city. the bygone days of vinyl records and audio cassette tapes, how i miss those times. oh well... time to move on and let the new breed do their thang.

below are some of the skate thrash / grind seven inch vinyl records that i have in my collection. there are certainly more but i'm too lazy to dig them out, these are some that were in reach. ha!

-----
50/50 - debut self titled 7", agoraphobic nosebleed / total fucking destruction - split 7", scott baio army - join the army 7", destrux - enter the thrash kick 7", hit me back / out of vogue - the thrashy slumber party pillow fight split e.p. 7" and hit me back / crucial section - split 7".

nothing beats physical copies of your favourite band's records and albums! that being said, i do not advocate illegal downloading of mp3s. 'nuff said.

what do you usually listen to when you push your planks? please discuss? =)

peace.
