As per REV HQ: Sludging then grinding, Sick/Tired return with their third release, the follow-up to their LP on To Live A Lie Records. Crushing PV with distinct hardcore and punk influences that will have you laughing in the face of death. Flip it over as the ugly face of small town Ontario thrash, Oxbaker, rage and pound – four racks of unrelenting, pissed off hardcore that carries on where previous releases left off. Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, it’s over now. A lovely pairing of two bands that mix up their sound with hints of ’80s hardcore, powerviolence, and sludge.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Sick/Tired – Death Amuses Me
2. Oxbaker – Old Growth
3. Oxbaker – You May Have Water But You Have No Soul
4. Oxbaker – Mountain Of Wealth
5. Oxbaker – The Difference Between Piss & Rain Water

Schizophrenic Records is pleased to celebrate 30 years of the UNRULED by re-releasing the band’s debut 7′ from 1984. Time Is Running Out 7″ captures the band and their blend of Canadian and Bristish Punk sounds at their prime. Well before DIS became a prefix these Canadian punks were thrashing, bashing and fighting against the System. Includes Clear the Pigs out which was recorded during the same 7″ session and has been unreleased for 30 years. Catch the newly reformed UNRULED as they invade a town near you. Buy this 7″ and don’t give up the fight – the UNRULED haven’t!!

From Razorcake Magazine:
A historic piece of punk rock history out of Toronto, Canada for those who were not in the know. Archiving material from 1982-1984, this band probably only hit people’s radar off their track on BYO’s Something to Believe in. I also vaguely remember their name on the TO Hardcore 83 cassette comp and that validated off their liner notes that I’d longed to have a copy of again, in one form or another. The Young Lions’ punk sound is hard to replicate. It reminds me a lot of their Canadian comrades, the Subhumans. What might be classified as street punk today, I hear it as one of those forefather bands that have that genuine raw punk energy with melody and grit. A true treat and I am one who is grateful to have this see the light of day. Any release from Schizophrenic, you should order direct. You always get something special, either in packaging or special colored vinyl. –Donofthedead

From the Montreal Mirror:
In keeping with early T.O. hardcore re-releases, a real gem comes from the folks at Schizophrenic Records, who have collected most of the Young Lions demos and put them out as what is probably the best package I’ve ever seen, 1982-84: From the Vaults. Collectors are gonna go gaga over the limited pressing of 100 that includes marbled vinyl, a two-page insert, a silkscreened cover and card, stickers, a bonus seven-inch single and (gasp!) a Young Lions fanzine. Amazing packaging aside, this record goes beyond mere nostalgia with incredible songs like “Rich Kid,” “Shithole,” “United” and “Pray for Julie” that easily stand the test of time.

Listening to this two decades and change later, it seems a miracle that a band this fucking good would languish in obscurity for so long. Much thanks to the folks at Schizophrenic for this obvious labour of love. – JOHNSON CUMMINS

SONS OF ISHMAEL Hayseed Hardcore 12” Schiz 52 – Their Hayseed Hardcore 7” was immortalized in Pushead’s top 100 hardcore releases of the 80’s. Tucked away at #76 safely wedged between MASS APPEAL and RATTUS, SONS OF ISHMAEL were often compared to early D.R.I. with a rabid mix of early LARM and WRETCHED. Yes, that is a lot of power and speed thrown onto a 7” platter. Schizophrenic Records is proud to release the Hayseed Hardcore 12” which includes the full 7” as well as several compilation recordings by the original Meaford, Ontario lineup. 25 years later this record remains full of energy, drive and small town teenage angst. The release includes a band biography and insert containing original artwork and lyrics. Limited to 800 copies.

These LPS are $16 US US/Canada and $23 US PPD by air overseas. For paypal please send $16.75 (US/Can) or $24 US (Overseas) to burningspirits@gmail.com.

What’s that you ask? Of course there’s a limited edition release! This features a 5-colour screen alternate cover, a sticker and SOI trading cards! $18 US/Canada and $25 USD overseas.
