V/A - Earth Rapers and Hell Raisers
Earth Rapers & Hell Raisers was double 7″ compilation put out by the folks at Hippycore in 1990 as benefitf or the Phoenix chapter of Earth First! Lot’s of pissed off, political hardcore from 12 bands and a thick booklet with all sorts of tree hugging commie bullshit of environmental and vegan information. Say what you will about the politics, but every Hippycore release I’ve come across is a labor of love, with thick booklets and tons of educational material. Earth Rapers… isn’t as consistent of a comp as earlier Hippycore comp Metal Gives Us A Headache, but still has some bite to it. The best cuts come from Bent, Machine, Christ on a Crutch, Jesters of Chaos, Seein’ Red, and Samiam. But I’ll let you be the judge of that:
Sins of the Flesh - Technology.mp3
Bent - Intellectual Hypocrites.mp3
Jesters of Chaos - Nuclear Delicacies.mp3
Pissed Happy Children - Graveyard at Sea.mp3
Reality Control - Hold My Breath.mp3
Conspiracy of Equals - Gender Slavery.mp3
Machine - Blind Man’s Holiday.mp3
Samiam - Insightful.mp3
Pleasant Valley Children - Fuck Kill Destroy.mp3
Pollution Circus - Lenny’s Song.mp3
Seein’ Red - Earth First.mp3
Christ on a Crutch - Christian’s Crack Diary.mp3

this was the first double 7″ i ever bought (for $3)…the variance of production values made me happy that punk could be lo-fi tape crap and super clean. but the booklet contained some of the dumbest, most close-minded dribbel id read to that point in my life (13 years old?)…..thanks for posting nonetheless.
