7 Seconds
From the excellent Oxide Flake weblog, check out this cool 7 Seconds sticker. I’m not a huge fan, but I like how this sticker brings together more obscure Nevada bands with bigger bands like Big Boys and Minor Threat, but also foreign bands like 4 Skins and BGK. Very cool.

R Radical Records
R Radical Records was a cool label done by the singer of M.D.C. back in the eighties. As you can see by this ad, they put out classic records by bands like Reagan Youth, M.D.C., B.G.K., and D.R.I.. A lot of bands with initials. Most importantly they put out the P.E.A.C.E. compilation, which is easily the best hardcore compilation ever. There are so many good bands on this one I can’t even begin to figure out who is the best or even a top 5/10/etc. A lot of my introduction to hardcore from outside North America was from this record.
It is pretty frustrating seeing how politically involved people and bands like these were back then. If a band like MDC or Reagan Youth came along today they’d probably be called “faggots” or unpatriotic. Go hardcore!
