Anti-Heros and underage tattoos






GMM Records recently released Anti-Heros 1999 (and final album) "Underneath the Underground" for the first time ever on vinyl. Anti-Heros, in my opinion, is the best Oi! band EVER. Yeah I said it. I was so psyched when I heard about this that I didn't hesitate to order the package deal from Victory for both copies and a T-Shirt. Although this record is not even close to their classics "That's Right!" and "Don't Tread On Me", this is still a solid album. It's surprising that this was never released on vinyl so I'm glad they got around to it. This release is /100 on yellow and /400 on white, pretty limited for such a heavy hitter Oi! group. I've actually been giving this album more listens on the ipod lately since I heard about it being repressed, and it has really grown on me in a big way. It's just that when you're so obsessed with their first two albums for a majority of your life, it's hard to accept anything else. So like I said, this really is one of my favorite bands ever and here is some proof.....




That's right baby, my first tattoo I ever got was on my thigh in order to hide it from my mom. I remember taking showers and always putting shorts on after before walking out of the bathroom. Eventually my mom jammed me up about it and wanted to know what I was hiding. When she saw it she was had an "I don't care" attitude about it, and so I didn't either and started getting more underage tattoos. Regardless, the Anti-Heros popped my tattoo cherry so if they are reading this then send me a test press to show your appreciation.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Unfortunately me for me I will be at work tonight, but how about some Green vinyl and St. Patricks Day(ish) records to celebrate? I only took a couple, since its so overcast I can't get any natural daylight in to get good pictures so I've been having a difficult time with my crappy camera skills to get my girlfriends camera to focus.



The Duckhunt/Hammertime Split on Green speckled vinyl. Two bands that went on to play in a bunch of other bands (Sabertooth Zombie, Allegiance, Ceremony).


A random break beats album from the dollar bin. "Raw Beats" for DJ purposes. I was shocked to open it up and see this beautiful sea green marble with green label, though.



I've never been real big on Dropkick Murphy's, or any of the overly Irish stuff for that matter, but I have acquired some of their early 7 inches over the years. Mostly just to round out my TKO Records collection. Here is the best one, just because it has Anti-Heros on it. And the Anti-Heros rule, OK? I've seen this on blue and clear colored vinyl, but I just have the boring black version.



The Dropkick Murphy's/Oxymoron split. Meh.



Ouch, maybe I should have cleaned off that record a little better. Maybe its because I haven't even looked at it in 10 years. There's a few pics for you for St. Patty's, Have fun and be safe!
