subhumans reissues were so terrible. i don't even want to know about the crass reissues on cd. if some of the most perfectly recorded records ever made were fucked up somehow for cd it would be sad indeed. best to stick with old pressings. peni records are amazing in their natural form. same with flux. you can't improve on that stuff.

Nick Blinko might just be my favorite punk vocalist. finally getting around to buying Cacophony, though used to play the shit out of Death Church.

You have EPs of RP right? Because that shit is GRRRRREAAAATTTTT

holy shit
tt has introduced me to rudimentary peni. death church was really good but CACOPHONY oh my giddy fuck

Peni is the best band of all time.

this album/band is just...i can't even

It's too bad Nate C doesn't hang out anymore-- he wrote an entire in depth treatment on cacophony which he submitted to 33 1/3 one year

Peni is one of those bands from the first Sublime album that I kept meaning to check out but never did.

Xpost not by 33 1/3 but maybe he placed it elsewhere

keen to see what you make of the RP album about the imaginary pope

it's great and the songs are intense as hell, it would be improved slightly by curbing that fucking papus adrianus thing, but i guess you can't fuck with the artist's vision idk
― imago, Friday, 30 September 2016 11:39 (seven years ago) link
aaaaactually it's just as good as cacophony p much, which makes it one of the best things ever
― imago, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 13:37 (six years ago) link
I HATED that record, I guess I will try again
it ain't no Cacophony, though, chill dude :)

it's beautiful, furious, quite quite mad but also perfect for midsummer
― imago, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 14:48 (six years ago) link
quite apart from anything else the instrumentation is monumental, possibly his best riffs ever underpinned by a seriously and understandably pissed-off rhythm section. and like all the best heatstrokes all the songs linger on and on until you're entranced & damaged beyond repair

....and now I'm listening to The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks
fuck me it's AWESOME

lol tbh I'm not really sure if I've ever heard a song by Sublime, but I gather they are somewhat different to Rudimentary Peni

this thread reminded me of the sad fact I missed seeing my friends' Rudi Peni cover band last year because I was sick and depressed.

love all the rest of course

I won the Flux of Pink Indians’ 'Strive to Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible' album in a KUSF radio contest in the mid 80s. I had no idea who they were at the time. It was one of those records I ended up loving more because I had to stretch to grasp it. The LP itself is a beautiful object
― Dan S, Thursday, 30 January 2020 03:06 (four years ago) link
I wish Death Church would get a repress, I missed out on the last one.

https://www.zagava.de/shop/nick-blinko?edition=19&versions=0The paperback version on amazon might be a bit different. Newsletter said something about a new paperback version but I can't remember.

New ep and reissues on the way from Sealed Records!https://www.punknews.org/article/74088/sealed-records-to-re-issue-rudimentary-peni-discography

awesome
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Saturday, 20 February 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link
Sealed records is a side-label of La Vida Es Un Mus, this is really good news because Paco the guy who runs that label is a total lifer and this isn't a reissue for money he really loves this stuff
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Saturday, 20 February 2021 16:19 (three years ago) link
Excellent news! Southern records reissues seemed a bit dubious quality-wise.
― jvc, Saturday, 20 February 2021 16:21 (three years ago) link
Southern were a pretty shitty label for a lot of reasons towards the end.
I wonder if this means the Alternative LP on Corpus Christi might end up getting reissued at some point, Sealed have already put out a reissue of the Omega Tribe LP. I know Overground records were planning to reissue Alternative but Southern wanted too much money to license it.
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Saturday, 20 February 2021 16:27 (three years ago) link
love all those pics of the OG Ampex tapes in that Insta
It would be super cool if they reissued the first 2 EPs in original 7" packaging
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Saturday, 20 February 2021 16:29 (three years ago) link
awesome news! I'm hoping they reissue Archaic 10", I missed that one.
― braised cod, Saturday, 20 February 2021 19:44 (three years ago) link
So is this yet another mastering to compare?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 20 February 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
yes but I have a lot more faith in this one tbh
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Saturday, 20 February 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link
missed getting the last batch. so hopefully catch up with these.& the Crass titles are reappearing in more comprehensive fashion too.
― Stevolende, Saturday, 20 February 2021 20:19 (three years ago) link
Rudimentary Peni has a new album 'Great War' out today (and on streaming services)! Quick listen tells me it's a bit more varied than the last few releases and the singer uses his voice a lot more. Apparently this was recorded several years ago but shelved until now.

it's another EP tbf!

Just read that someone is wearing a Rudimentary Peni t-shirt in Oscars nominated movie Sound of Metal

The rule with RP is: if it's an EP it'll be decent hardcore, if it's an LP it'll be earthshattering brilliance
― imago, Friday, 23 April 2021 14:07 (three years ago) link
xp that is correct, a Cacophony shirt, he also wears Youth Of Today and Neubauten shirts, total hipster bait and a pretty good movie
