Just turned 14 not that long ago and I’m bumpin old school 90s west coast powerviolence much love from the bay
1. Dead Stare For Life
Past-forward, pause, rewind
Look Back, now well-aged and lined
Decrepit and nearly, blind
Pity how time flies
Dead stare for life
2. Past Tense
A lifetime spent standing still
Like dead flies gathering on a window sill
A sibling disgrace who believes to be
The broken limb in the family tree
PAST TENSE
Too late to save, pulse stand still
A dry-lunged solo death rattle
Regret in a tear-filled trance
A never forgotten remembrance
PAST TENSE
3. Sarcastics
Please explain me to me
Tell me what I'm all about
You're the one who knows me best
Tell me why am I depressed
Tell me what I'm all about
Turn my pockets inside out
You're the one who knows me best
Tell me why am I depressed
4. Distant
It's a matter of indifference,
or is it?
If I were to say I was sad
about it
I could use the word "empathy
But who gives a fuck? Not me
Calloused and Jaded
To who am I related
5. Hurt
Problems they persist
Hard times shatter windows with fists
Yet still the problems they persist
Hard times carve open wrists
Yet still the problems they persist
Hard times shout, curse and spit
Yet still the problems they persist
Hard times cloud eyes with mist
Yet still the problems they persist
Problems they persist
6. Hacked To Chunks
Education promised a helpful head start
Now home sweet home is a shopping cart
"Tomorrow Never Knows", penned a Beatle
Later shot dead. "Imagine all the people"
The radio weeps the 12-bar blues
Television breaks the daily news
Life's the word we're told to choose
Time stands still win or lose
Living on time known as borrowed
Here today gone tomorrow
7. Lament
Such a struggle to overcome
the grip of self-destruction
MIND-TIED WORSE THAN CONFUSED
Emotionally scarred
from the heat of hate
I contemplate my expiration date
Mind-tied worse than confused now
Such a struggle to reason why
to convey the problems on my mind
Mind-tied worse then confused now
To scratch the surface of escape
at a loss for words I can't relate
Mind-tied worse than confused
Losing words I choose
8. Soiled By Hate
Caught in a web of sever distress
Prayed upon by nothingness
Buried alive in a grave of despair
Soiled by hate and a lack of care
A dance of pins and needles
9. Downsided
I myself, no one else
My world Hell, an empty shell
Mine in pain
Yours not mine, thin or swine
Rain no shine, dead in time
Mine in pain
Misunderstood, never could
Never tried, always lied
Mine in pain
10. Push Down & Turn
Confined within my bedroom cell
Here by choice outside is Hell
Isolated to myself
I hurt inside but I'll never tell
More than just a passing phase
Living on self-numbered days
Masquerading my inner rage
This is my Patter of change
Try after try, I'll never learn
There's only one way out...
Push down & turn
36. Curtains
Floating somewhere between then and now
A state of mid lost as well as found
Through winding trails of soul illusion
Forget about the pain, the suffering,
the disillusion...
I’m 105 years old and still listening to this record while I sip my Metamucil
Raises glass of prune juice
what if this comment is real
One of the hardest, angriest records ever written. We’ve basically spent 30 years trying to catch up.
So nice. Thanks for the kind words.
This will never be topped....no point trying either....
@@trefwoordpunk2225 why thank you very much! I come and visit to see if people still come to listen. Not selling it anywhere but please pass it on to everybody you know. Play it for everybody that's the ultimate for me is listening ears
@@trefwoordpunk2225 💯
Absolutely. Fuckin raging insanity. Pure rocknroll
put this on when you're depressed and alone, POOF automatic partner in crime
definitely a pissed off and very miserable album lyrically
Damn right
once i strangled someone with that EP on. I'm not even joking. It was in paris 2007. Just check the web and you'll see something happened in some hotel near "place de l'opéra" that year.... ;) it wasn't my fault though
Push down and turn brother
@@thomasdupont7186 Jesus Christ, man.
Back in high school my friend and I would group-order a bunch of shit out of MRR ads. One order he bought this 7" and I bought the first Crossed Out. Our lives changed forever!
I don't know how much money you spend on it back in the days, but now the first Crossed Out cost like 140€...
@@halfkid379 7" were 3-4$us back then...
Truly the best record of the 90s. A masterpiece! Lyrics that read like cries for help. Too good beyond words. Vicious bass and guitar attack. And those drums. Absolutely insane!!! Thank you Andy, Raul, Vince, & Brent...and happy 25th anniversary "Downsided".
thank you from raul ralo calzada no comment peace bro
Roco Ralo hey brother it's me Andy hope you're doing well
richard ramos where's my money lol hey Richard what's up it's Andy
@Simon Achebe From Nepal? Current? And thanks
@Simon Achebe where are you originally from?
I don’t think anyone in powerviolence will ever match the magic or the aggression of this album. It’s a complete fucking masterpiece.
never ever
I gotta give love to Crossed Out though. No Comment were too "all over the place hardcore". Crossed Out refined the genre in a tight, dark realm reminiscent of cheap xerox images and ol'fashion "press type" we had in HS before computers.
A perfect hardcore EP.
Appreciate the response, your vocals kick ass.
Blood Fire Death why you so defensive about it?
@@steveanderson7864 that's weird going back over Old comments see if I missed anybody and now I can reply but years ago I couldn't. A perfect comment
I remember the first time hearing this in high school back in 2007. Still gives me chills. What an absolute fucking masterpiece.
This is real Hardcore Punk
Best 7 min record ever.
Andy, this is what got me into PV. Thank you.
Powerviolenceog Inc. you are the man Andy hope all is well
Agreed, if not one of the best hardcore records EVER.
I was just thinking that, best 7 minutes ive ever spent listening to music!
I'm glad you all enjoyed it. The crowning achievement in my sad dark life
Still unbelievable. No hardcore song contains a sicker mosh breakdown than "Hacked to Chunks."
this is hands down the best pv record of all time and it came out before the scene even existed
One of the best hardcore records of all time
Kosster666 I reply a year later but I thank you very much for listening and enjoying my music. Just the lame vocalist
@@powerviolenceog Frank / Andrew , nothing lame about singing / screaming on one of the most important hardcore records of all time. i still listen to this record almost every day.
I am very self-deprecating. I am what I am. Very hard to see any positivity at this particular moment. I'll be around. Start doing some blogger some s*** here thanks
@@powerviolenceog Hey Andrew, just remember there are people who feel like shit in their lives and your music somehow pushes them through all the bullshit into another day that they seem to get through. I've been though some shitty times, but as strange as it may sound, your music and others bands like it woke me up and made me better. I don't know where i would be if it wasn't for bands like No Comment....16.....Grief......Eyehategod......Rash Of Beatings...Despise You......thanks.
@@kosster6663 I do take some joy in the fact that I've been involved in projects that have, over the years, helped people through tough times.
Brent was No Comment!! I was just a voice to convey his pain.
Who's not wearing shoes?
bruh how tf did u know
It was foretold in an ancient scroll 4 years ago that you would not be wearing shoes
@@redacted5035 No, Really...
Me dawg
Diogenes of Sinope
The drumming is absolute
Still got this bought this and capitalist casualties album at the same time both killer but this I still throw on the turntable quite often sometimes I listen to it at 78
Francis Morgenstern I actually listen to it at 33. To see how many cheats I did when I did the vocals. Thanks for listening and this response is a little late
i discovered capitalist casualties during the 80's and you ?
@@thomasdupont7186 sad to say I had never heard of them until Dodge dropped off our share of 7's & brought us all a copy. Replies a little late
It's so sad and depressed at the utter hopelessness that is life that you are raged beyond.
92b16vx a response many years later if you even get this. This was a heavy record to record but it turned out amazing period heavy as in the subject matter
R.i.p. to my good friend Vince Simpson! Rest in power
This record has been a part of my life for so long. It was the very first punk record that I felt spoke to me. Dead Stare For Life.
Wonder why I can reply to some comments but not others. To Achieved Divinity. Glad we found ya!
@@powerviolenceog beer me
One of my favorite hardcore punk albums from one of my fave hc bands
One of the best Powerviolence releases ever. The lyrics still stand the test of time.
Punk93Metal true
Punk93Metal I know this tag. I didn't write the lyrics but ice cream them as best as I possibly could. I screamed them. I talk my text
Edward F. Pignataro IV yes isn't this the greatest record of all time! And the greatest vocalist of all time! As I congratulate myself on my amazing talent LOL
The lyrics do stand the test of time and so does the music.
the best 7 mins of my poor life
cx cx thanks for spending 7 mins buddy!!!
penausweet here because my fuckin record player is broken
cx cx Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you like it. If you want to hear more of these hardcord punk, just comment your favorite EP/LP ect..., we'll upload them to this channel.
penausweet thanks for posting this brother. This is the vocalist Andy. Where's my $0.50 in royalty fees? LOL
mad bud thanks for enjoying the music. My favorite record I've ever done
THE best hardcore record ever straight up. I have downsided tattooed on my chest.
Thankyou!
Should have just bought the shirt, poser
That's awesome dude, I just recently got downsided on my throat! Best fucking record
Wow I remember when tattoos were cool 😅
Ahead of it's time for 92'. Not a boring moment, just complete brutality
Thanks for replying Andy! Love No Comment/Low Threat Profile, your singing and lyrical content is very contemplative.Thank's for your contribution to the arts and helping us evolve.
Casey Kearin I see I must have replied before but now it's gone. Again years later thank you
Ahead? All I can hear is Minor Threat.
@@caseykearin6310 I just have to point out that I didn't write the lyrics to this. It was Bret the guitarist/bassist. I wrote some of the lyrics to l. T. P. But not this amazing lyrical genius work
Totally agree with you
This gives me goosebumps.
I never heard this before today, but wow! What a jam!
#matthewcosgrove glad you liked it! One of my proudest achievements
Almost 20 years later, this has NOT been topped! Never will be!
Its 26yrs later actually. Thanks for kind words
@@powerviolenceog Bad math that night!!! Got this by mail when Slap A Ham released it! Still have it!! Still as potent now as ever!!!
@@HOC666 I'm glad it still touches the ears now and then. I'm having fun playing it faster and slower with TH-cam speed thing. It's fun but too fast to slow starts breaking up. Try it sometime
@@powerviolenceog What did you do after No Comment?
@@HOC666 Man is the Bastard
Low Threat Profile(Matt Infest)
Dead Language (Iron Lung guys) and newest band Dead Man's Life. Last one's not super fast or heavy just punky. Happy New Year If you didn't know Frank Booth is a character from Blue Velvet. Dennis Hopper
INFEST is playing in Chicago on 14th September.
Still listening to this masterpiece every once in a while
Of course you do it's an amazing record 😉
Blew my 15 year old mind in 92 - doing same to 45 year old fried mind in 22.
Great ep.
!!!! Could someone explain to me how I can reply to a comment that's years old but this gentleman Tom just did this two months ago but I can't reply to him directly? You have a strong mind
Wow you went back in time to meet a 45 year old and brought this record?
Perfect. Words can’t explain.
R.I.P
Vince...
Black Punx Matter 😉
Hands down, this is the best power violence record ever!
Man I miss the old school power violence days
i discovered power violence during the 80's and you ?
Truly depressed and messed up
When there are more songs then minutes on the entire album
PUSH DOWN AND TURN
my favorite PV band
Andrew Beattie is a fucking beast man. Everything he's done is awesome
#itlooksdelicious 😍
Got this 7inch on orange vinyl
I wanted to call a band Dead Stare ... But how can you hold a candle to this!
Absolutely amazing. The angriest and most beautiful record.
This is now finally on Spotify for those wondering
This has been my favorite thing for a long time.. will always hold up.. PINS N NEEDLES!
I needed this.
Seven minutes that shook the world
This is so perfect!
Poison Joe a year later I notice and I thank you
There has never been a better 7" record than this since.
Eric Apnea 4 years later if you get this I want to thank you for your kind words. Just the lame-ass vocalist here
@@powerviolenceog oh my god, Andrew Beattie? This really you? If it's real, thank you for the amazing music over the years man, it's come in handy in helping me deal with life.
@@BIadelores yes it is a very humbled Andrew. I always get a little embarrassed when I'm praised in any way. But it does bring a smile I'm glad I had a part in helping in any way! I will check back in if you have any other wonderful praise to bring me LOL I need it sometimes. Lost in the scene
@@powerviolenceog We are all lost in the scene, we're all just trying to figure out how to make the world make sense. I wish I could help you out the way you and your music have, but I guess my praise will just have to do for now. I won't make it weird by geeking out too much though LOL, stay safe out there!
I just have one question though, if you don't mind. I've heard a lotta rumors about this record and how it was made. One of the more crazy ones is that the lyrics for this were written after a failed suicide attempt or that Raul the drummer needed to take speed to play it. Are any of those true? I've no idea if they are but based on the result, I believe them!
@@BIadelores I shouldn't say anything but it would be a no to both? Maybe I was left in the dark No suicide attempt!!? And Raul and speed? Nothing I witnessed. I remember a lot of pot at practises, he definitely didn't need speed to play fast! Pure talent I do know* he dropped acid(shrooms) at a show in San Diego, Che Cafe and it was an amazing "Animal Muppet" sets I ever witnessed. He played so fast hard to keep up. Brent wrote everything while in isolation after health issues Confined within my bedroom cell. I hung out with Brent a lot. The other guys lived other places so....
* that's how I remember it but am I telling the truth? 😜
Best 7 inch of the 90s
Thankyou
Greatest record ever.
Thanks Andrew
nice ep mah man!!!!!!!!!!
love this kind of music
This goes so fuckin hard what a tight drummer
This is great-!!!!
Best hardcore ever
Thanks
Just bought my first no comment record. This is to good. Not over bearing speed that it sounds like a mess ( I like that sometimes tho ) ....the 90s have a production sound that so unique to hardcore
This sounds like top-shelf of the style to me. I've perused quite a few acts, and this is up there with Apt 213 (definitely better musicianship and vocals here, in my opinion). What a find - thanks for sharing.
this guys are one of the founders of the style. Godfather's of powerviolence who started back in 88. This. Record is definitely one of the classics of the genre. Fast as f*ck without sounding like metal , still rooted in punk/ HC.where many bands went down the grindcore, death metal..Chris Dodge who put this out says he wished they had material for a full 12 but it wasn't meant to be.
@@mirapilates I can only reply to you but thanks to both of you for the kind words from the lame vocalist of this band from many years ago
Jesus Christ, I totally worshipped this ep. The band I was in, Short Hate Temper, tried to capture this brutal, concise record, but didn't come close. Downsided was and will continue to be one of the high water marks of that era for me. Cheers, Greg.
Hey man just wanted to let you know that in my opinion, SHT is criminally underrated and your split with Slight Slappers is one of my favorite releases of the 90s. Fantastic work
@@brianhale5276 Great to hear, man! Glad we were able to punish some ears for a few years.
Hey, I had your guys' split with Slight Slappers back in the day (still do, somewhere). Very likely bought it out of the Slap-a-Ham distro, actually. Can you tell us anything about how that record came together? Any cool memories to relate? I listened to that shit a bunch back in the day and would love to hear some stories.
You guys were a fantastic band. Great records.
This album so sad :(
: o ) if I really could tell you what the current situation is related to The Lyricist it would be even sadder. He is alive but..... 5 years later LOL
Tons of beautiful and meaningful lyrics, one of the most powerful and expressive old hxc records I've ever listened.. I mean, you got in similar lines Spazz, Siege, Napalm Death, Neanderthal and more, even some Agnostic Front got this crazy fast hardcore sound at beggining, may you call it a mixture of powerviolence / grind before that genre even existed? Dunno, but it's awesome anyways you look at it.
All hail.
Masterpiece!!! It’s a hardcore lesson!!!
true powerviolence

Some of these are downright poetic, and they just scream them so fast they're unintelligible. Such a waste.
@@noesunyoutuber7680 if people care enough they'll look at/listen for the lyrics
@@ILoveDavidLynch super late reply but thank you for taking the time to comment. I think they are some of the best lyrics ever written in hardcore. And I didn't write them, just unintelligibly Screamed them
Wow. The lyrics make this album even more extreme, fucking incredible
Lyrics in the comments? Never seen that before. Nice. Ty
this album gets better each time it plays omfg ffs
Thankyou #biero
I am the emoviolence revival. Chris Dodge summoned me from the Imaginary Sonicscape.
Tomorrow Never Knows penned a Beatle, later shot dead, imagine all the people.
This one line encapsulates so much of what this is all about....a bit too long for haiku, but it qualifies as it in my mind. Sheer genius.
How hard would these songs look on music vid back then, shit would've been Solid
Makes me wanna wreck my fucking living room, great shit !
so good
Andrew Beattie is the powerviolence OG! Best vocals going!
second best powerviolence release ever but being second to despise you isn't a bad thing. love from finland
KXLU!!!! friends with vocalist. Awesome shit!!! No Comment
any chance for a reunion?
@@offwiththehats i dont know..would be killer. some power violence is needed today
Who listening in 2018?
GAME AND MOVIE PODCAST currently listening to this in 2017
GAME AND MOVIE PODCAST not quite sure what this post means. It's my band. Or it was mine before we broke up. I just listened now again so I guess I am listening in 2018
listening in 2019
All of us nerds before it was cool fucking pussy.
Such a classic banger
G.O.A.T.
yes
lyrics really ads something to this, i can say without doubt its a perfect ep
the best
Wtf how did i hear this just now this is amazing
amazing fucking musicianship
Cool 😎
Ahh this album is so fucking good
greetings from brazil
ConjuntoDeSambaPerfuraTimpanos greetings back from sunny Southern California. Glad you enjoyed my work, or are collective work
And still the problems they persist....
sick beyond sick
jason brisbine thanks man it is the greats record 5 years later
sweet jezus this is good
sounds a lot like the mighty mighty bosstones to me
Yy Gg that was the impression i got too
Yy Gg you guys must be high? I just went to listen to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones I'm laughing I don't hear any comparison. Is there one specific song cuz all I hear is Ska-core.
beatgtie powerviolence : you can't hear it...you have to FEEL it.
Yy Gg well I guess I don't have the ability to feel the Bosstones. And definitely not an influence on our music. I'm indifferent to the comment. As long as you don't hate it I'm cool
The radio session of this EP is just as fucking brutal, maybe even more so
I absolutely love this. Anybody got any crust/powerviolence recommendations besides Charles Bronson, his hero is gone, Dropdead, Spazz?
Search for KITCHENER-THE PRICE OF PROGRESSION 7"EP,thank me later
Siege is essential, first wave shit. Other stuff from the 90s are despise you, stapled shut. Infest obviously
Oh also listen to the Dead Language LP… had the same singer from no comment and is a very overlooked record.
'Cus it's bout the sad reality of life man
: o ) years later if you ever get this yes it is about that exact thing. Rage and sadness. Tried my best to convey that feeling of the other guys lyrics
fucking killer, so goddamn raw
Good thrashcore
❤️
Every compliment you all have paid this record is accurate, BUT it’s really hard to ignore the fact that one of the band members was barely recovered from a particularly nasty cancer and that is the reason for the trippy/ambient moments. Cannot be imitated.
Actually his kidneys failed and right after the transplant he wrote This Record.
@@powerviolenceog shit. Thanks for the update. I still have a Flipside with them in it. Guess I misread the interview.
@@ErichVonNasty it's all good if you go back he does talk about that. I remember that interview. A night we played with infest. I'm the vocalist so I have the knowledge
@@powerviolenceog this is really unparalleled. Still.
Here for the drums n cheap thrills
+Powerviolenceog Inc. ever heard of No comment - headless, from Split, Croatia?
2AbandonShip I'm pretty sure I haven't. The band's name is no comment? Current or a while ago I did see a band from 93 calling themselves no comment. can't remember if any good. I'll get yelled at if I complain because it's punk rock dude get used to it
beep boop such a great drummer
THE HARDEST FUCKING SHIT I EVER HEARD!
I really love this fucking shit. Powerviolenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
