Artcore Fanzine (in association with Boss Tuneage and Wardance Records) celebrates 25 years with Artcore Vinyl Fanzine Vol.4, the lost Wardance Records compilation FUCK ROCK: ABC NO RIO NYC 1991. Originally intended for a 10” release, the project celebrating the venue and scene in 1991 was shelved, until now, and to celebrate 20 years since it’s compiling, it’s finally seeing the light of day.
Unlike the Mp3 version, this has been expanded into a full LP with extra bands and tracks from the era, taken from the original master tapes, to truly complete the project. Featuring legendary DIY New York hardcore bands such as CITIZENS ARREST, BORN AGAINST, RORSCHACH, GO!, ANIMAL CRACKERS, HELL NO, HUASIPUNGO, WARNING and ANTIEM (as well as Boston’s INFLATABLE CHILDREN who were regulars at the club), this 10 band, 18 track collection perfectly encapsulates the era.
On a limited press of mint fresh green vinyl, the LP comes with a large glossy foldout insert with history, anecdotes, band submissions and dozens of photos from the club, from local scene photographers such as Christine Boarts-Larson and Justine Demetrick.
All housed in an high quality thick cardstock sleeve, this collection is a true collector’s piece.
Inside the LP comes issue #27, the 25th anniversary issue of Artcore: 36 pages of hardcore punk rock of all eras, including interviews with D.O.A., KNUSTE RUTER, SOUTHPORT, 40 HELLS, CLASS WAR KIDS and THIS SYSTEM KILLS. Vaultage features an extensive interview with Doug
Moody of MYSTIC RECORDS, as well biographies of DIE KREUZEN, POISON IDEA, THE SAINTS and THE DICKIES. The zine also features the legendary punk artist SQUEAL, as well as extensive reviews, articles, obscure records, thoughts on 25 years, and a full colour cover
Sorry about the price nothing we can do with it!
