V/A - More Songs About Plants and Trees
A quick one to round out the week, More Songs About Plants and Trees was a pro-conservation compilation released on graphic artist John Yates Allied Recordings in 1990. 4 bands, 4 tracks, and a crapload of environmentalist mailing addresses make for a rather uninspiring compilation, but shit, it was in my “to do” pile and the Antischism track is pretty fucking great. Side 1 includes a poppy and melodic track San Francisco’s Cringer and pretty mediocre number from the Lookouts. The flipside was always more my speed - screaming anarcho hardcore from South Carolina’s Antischism and solid doomcore from NYC’s Nausea.

that antichism track took an interesting turn. hihat and fucked up funk-ish bass??!
then back to hardcore?

awesome.
You always seem to come up with posts of things that I vaguely remember owning and don’t really know what happened to. I’m starting to wonder if I slept through the early nineties…….
Allied put out some really good stuff in their short run, and a lot of it gets overlooked. Thumbs up (even if the Lookouts did kinda suck.)
Best Nausea track ever. Seriously. I think I might’ve even said that in some other comment on this blog (sorry for beating a dead horse), but the greatness of “Here Today” is one of the few strong opinions I had 10 years ago that still stands up today, hence the repeated flexing.
The Cringer song was pretty cool. Didn’t think the Lookouts were THAT bad. Antischism’s Greedy Bastards was great! And “Here Today” by Nausea DESTROYS!
