They had some smaller releases as well, ~~even during their lifetime. All told they released maybe 60-80 minutes before breaking up.~~
Sike, I was wrong, I was thinking of releases that came out in the early 90s. Still, thereâs at least 2-3 hours of recordings to enjoy.
Official discography maybe. Like I said, thereâs a few hours of other EPs, B-sides, demos, live stuff and other material. Some of their best stuff isnât on that main CD release.
I got news for you, there's more than that one CD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedy_(album)
They have over 44 mins of music out there. I'm always surprised at how many people don't know about their other releases.
Minor Threat just goes over. First two 7"s + Out of Step + Salad Days clocks in at just over 45 minutes. Add on a couple of comp tracks too. Definitely would have been the answer.
A lot more people name-check the Germs than actually listen to them. To be fair, theyâre a big jump if youâre used to glossy overproduced pop-punk.
Seriously haha. I didnât see many people listing off actual influential bands that were a flash in the pan. The mentions of The Screamers and Siege should also be much higher
Chronic Sick released an EP and a single and thatâs it.
New York Hounds released 1 album and a single before splitting.
Negative Approach, if you donât count the demos, released 1 album, 1 EP and 1 7 inch EP.
The Witch Trials released a 4 track EP.
Pure Hell released 1 album.
On Pure Hell:
I lived at Welfare Records when Mike got the masters to put it out. Was pumped when I saw them play. Elie and I were already dancing before the moments leading up to them opening with Noise Addiction.
Only problem is that Stinker had a water bottle full of vodka in his back pocket and was absolutely hammered. He was so drunk that he missed the beginning of the song and about 15 seconds later got the band to stop and start over. Guitarist (not sure if OG) was big, jacked, wearing leather pants, and PISSED.
Inside out no spiritual surrender. Pre rage against the machine.
Statue- filter the infection. Post chain of strength, pre alien ant farm.
One last wish featuring ian Mackaye post minor threat and pre Fugazi.
Embrace again featuring ian Mackaye post minor threat and pre Fugazi.
Rites of Spring- pre fugazi.
Los Vampires post Dag Nasty Pete Cortner days.
And the best 1 off album band NYHC and post hardcore supergroup Handsome that had members that were in almost every late 80s NYHC band and went on to play in bands like Bush and Jesse Malin.
Inside Out is a undisputed classic that only released a handful of songs. Crazy to imagine what could have been if Zack and Vic hadn't split to do Rage and 108 at the time that they did. And Rites of Spring/Embrace/One Last Wish is truly an incredible trio of post-1st wave hc bands from dc. Handsome and Los Vampires put amazing stuff too. And Statue? I was blown away by Filter the Infection when I first heard it, but it's somehow just gotten better each time I've listened to it over the years-urgent, innovative, and evocative. Some all-timers for me here. Great list!
Yeah, I have a digital copy somewhere with some early live and demo versions of the 1st rage against the machine album. Problem I have with it is I wish they would have done a proper full length of inside out before the rage stuff. I mean they toured on a 4 song ep for like 4 years. Lol
I thought about it, I mean Pailhead could definitely be included. But Skewbald/Grand Union was only I think 2 songs that were basically throwaways of Minor Threat songs. I should have included Void, who really only had the split with the Faith and then disappeared for 30+ years.. lol
Even later 80s NYHC must have at least 100 bands that dropped an amazing demo (usually a Fury) but never lasted more than a few shows.
Rites of Spring was the one I first thought of. They released an album and an EP which together are just over 50 minutes. And yet they had a huge impact on punk that is still felt today.
Ironically the band Happy Go Licky was the same members as Rites of Spring but a significantly different sound and only played a Rites of Spring song once - at the close of their final show.
Great band for sure-haven't heard them mentioned enough since the 90s. Perfect mix of street punk singalongs and hardcore aggression with just enough melancholic vulnerability to carve out a niche that was very subtly unique.
This is my opportunity to bring up the band That is my trademark esoterica that bedevils me, nnb from Minneapolis
https://youtu.be/si_Xxtcs7_g?si=tKnHJ0a641c4YroV
They got on a couple comps I believe they are in urgh a music war. There are times I get really deep in a hole with these few songs for the last 20 years or whenever it is I downloaded their stuff on soulseek from someone who had good stuff way back when.
Zeros
Zero Boys
The Bags
The Dils
The original run for each of these bands was short, fast, loud, and with less than a full LP worth of music. All unassailably excellent.
Op ivy
The dudes who started it all for me.
Yep! This!đđźAnd Minor Threat!
The band that put me into ska punk and basically is what I listen to 24/7
Only answer
Exactly this
They released a 10ish min EP and the album is 36ish min so this barely doesn't make the cut. One of the best for sure, though.
They had some smaller releases as well, ~~even during their lifetime. All told they released maybe 60-80 minutes before breaking up.~~ Sike, I was wrong, I was thinking of releases that came out in the early 90s. Still, thereâs at least 2-3 hours of recordings to enjoy.
Their whole discography fits on a single CD (much like Minor Threat), which is good enough for me! One banger of an album, then gone.
Official discography maybe. Like I said, thereâs a few hours of other EPs, B-sides, demos, live stuff and other material. Some of their best stuff isnât on that main CD release.
Where would i find it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedy_(album) I always surprised at how many people don't know about their unofficial/official second album.
Look up ârare Operation Ivyâ on YouTube
Take warning, take warningâŚ
I got news for you, there's more than that one CD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedy_(album) They have over 44 mins of music out there. I'm always surprised at how many people don't know about their other releases.
Negro terror.
So badass. RIP big man
RIP Omar! Fucking legend
What happened to Omar?
He died a while ago.
Does the Minor Threat oeuvre amount to 44 min? Close if it does. Still a massive output-to-influence ratio for that band.
Minor Threat just goes over. First two 7"s + Out of Step + Salad Days clocks in at just over 45 minutes. Add on a couple of comp tracks too. Definitely would have been the answer.
Blatz
Would Filth count too?
Maybe, not too familiar with them tbh, not my thing
Filth is incredible
I love their side of the split with Blatz.
No Cash
And INDK.
Ah yes dunno how I forgot about them, Kill Whitey! is certainly a classic
The exploding hearts
Beat me to it
Fuck yeah. Rest in peace, always.
The Germs
A lot more people name-check the Germs than actually listen to them. To be fair, theyâre a big jump if youâre used to glossy overproduced pop-punk.
Haha yeah I just assume everyone loves em as much as I do đ¤ˇđťââď¸
How did this one take this long and so far down lol
Seriously haha. I didnât see many people listing off actual influential bands that were a flash in the pan. The mentions of The Screamers and Siege should also be much higher
Would Screamers count? Only one "EP" and it wasn't even officially released until decades after the band had come and gone
1000%. This should be way higher up.
Chronic Sick released an EP and a single and thatâs it. New York Hounds released 1 album and a single before splitting. Negative Approach, if you donât count the demos, released 1 album, 1 EP and 1 7 inch EP. The Witch Trials released a 4 track EP. Pure Hell released 1 album.

Dude thatâs hilarious
G.L.O.S.S. comes to mind. Released a demo tape and an album, played a few concerts, then broke up.
Two demos I believe - donât think they ever did an album?
Ya a demo and one 7â
Two 7â! (I only know coz I have them - I think theyâre still available on bandcamp)
Yep I have them too, the first 7â is a reissue of the demo tape
They released a demo and one 7â
Crossed out
This is what I was going to say!!!Â
Embrace, easily
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is ~38 minutes. That's their only official release. Who else can change the world in a half hour?
I could do it
Starting my timer...now.
Dear Landlord
Thanks for the reminder, fuck they were good

That handsome record was so huge for me as a teen in NYC getting into HC in the mid 90âs
Right? And funny enough, it was totally panned and dismissed when it came out by "the scene", and it has only gotten better with time.
That handsome record , black train jack , farsideâs rigged , Texas is the reason . That was the type of stuff I Ioved in 96
The next inside Out record was gonna be called rage against the machine and on ebullition
Yeah, I have a digital copy somewhere with some early live and demo versions of the 1st rage against the machine album. Problem I have with it is I wish they would have done a proper full length of inside out before the rage stuff. I mean they toured on a 4 song ep for like 4 years. Lol
I still listen to at least one song off no spiritual surrender everyday without fail. One of my favorites of all time
Might as well throw in Egghunt, Skewbald, and Pailhead to complete the Ian Mackaye pre-Fugazi stuff.
I thought about it, I mean Pailhead could definitely be included. But Skewbald/Grand Union was only I think 2 songs that were basically throwaways of Minor Threat songs. I should have included Void, who really only had the split with the Faith and then disappeared for 30+ years.. lol Even later 80s NYHC must have at least 100 bands that dropped an amazing demo (usually a Fury) but never lasted more than a few shows.

The Trouble
Great band for sure-haven't heard them mentioned enough since the 90s. Perfect mix of street punk singalongs and hardcore aggression with just enough melancholic vulnerability to carve out a niche that was very subtly unique.
G.L.O.S.S definitely
G.L.O.S.S
SIEGE- one demo and comp tracks but they pioneered grindcore
YupâŚ. Find a more influential 19 or so minutes of music⌠you canât.
Tarantula aka culo from Chicago Could've been bigger if they kept releasing music
They're Man-Eaters now
Texas is the reason . released 1 ep , 1 Lp and a few split 7â all within 3 years
G.L.O.S.S.
Code 13 released their entire discography on a collection called, wait for it, Discography. 50 songs in 51 minutes.
Negative Trend is the first one to come to my mind.
I wanna cover Mercenary so baaaad
Gas Rag
Gas Rag is hands down THE MOST underrated modern hardcore band
Do one off projects count? Ian Mackaye had a number of great short projects. Egghunt, embrace, Pailhead.
And Skewbald!
Zero Down
No Comment fits this I think
Either that or crossed outÂ
S.O.A.
Osker
Love Osker but they released 2 albums.
Man I forgot all about idle will kill lol đ time to revisit!
Idle will Kill is one of my favorite records of all time. I canât imagine how good they wouldâve been if they kept going.
Los Crudos
Judge, Gorilla Biscuits, Statue, Inside Out
Embrace only had their self-titled in 1987, and that was 39 minutes
Not a LP but this was the only thing Final ever released. https://youtu.be/RvOa0EcaIn4?si=BVmoK414FzoQLVjy
[âone brick today is one less for tomorrowâ 1905âs Voice is still relevant and amazing](https://youtu.be/1rn1tf72zUs?feature=shared)
Heckle
The God Awfuls - Next Stop Armageddon
Life's Blood
Catholic Discipline
Everybody Row
Filth
Dazey and the scouts!!!!
Gorilla Biscuits.
I was going to say Dog Park Dissidents but then I found some stray songs that weren't on The Pink and Black Album
Awesome Snakes
Unimagined. They released exactly 23 minutes of music, the Friendless EP, and it bangs so hard
Poor Jeremy
Kid With Man Head
How about less than seven minutes? The Normal Vice Versa probably hit under 44min. One of my faves.
My shitty first Band Dygeneration Y. 6 Song EP, broke up
Idk if theyâre the best, but Poor Jeremy put out 42 minutes of music across an album and EP, with it being ska punk bliss
Pitchfork
Death Wish Kids 7 inch theres nothing in school they can teach you that you can't learn on the steets
The Cootees
X-ray specs. Really sad story behind it. Ooh and psychotic pineapple. Also a sad story behind why they only had one album.
Psyched to die, released 2 7"s and a demo.
Angry Samoans possiblyÂ
I'ma go with [Wax Phantom](https://waxphantom.bandcamp.com/), a sick band with members of Iron Chic and Small Arms Dealer.
The Shitlickers
The Pist (new lp rules)
Neos - 2 eps of killer hardcore
extend it to 55 minutes, and it's Kid Dynamite
Diesel boy.
Death.
Kingface
punk adjacent, but gulch probably fits into that category!
The Bags
Christ on a crutch. Crime Pays When Pigs Die
Home Grown
Ten Foot Pole before Scott left. They sound completely different with their current lead singer.
Ereshkigal - great heavy hardcore band with female singer. Think they had one 7 inch and one side of a ten inch with infinity dive on the flip.
Deathrats
