Flats - Better Living

Country: UK

Genre: Drone Punk

Label: Sweat Shop Records

Flats are what the Ramones would sound like had they decided they liked plodding bass rather than crack-whacky speed. The vocals are harsh shouts flavored richly by the cockney south of London, and the riffs are chunkier than Campbell's. There's even songs called "Slam" and "Buzz". Good luck finding a listen link, but you can preview and purchase the album at the link below.

The Exploited - Let's Start A War... Said Maggie One Day (1983)

Country: United Kingdom

Genre: Street Punk

Label: Combat Records

Everyone always talks up Troops of Tomorrow being the best album by The Exploited but I beg to differ. Lets Start A War is just a little more vitriolic, just a little more political, just a little more hard hitting.

Also just look at that cover.

Vaccine - Dead Inside (2012)

Country: USA

Genre: Hardcore/Powerviolence

Label: Painkiller Records

Ten songs. Five minutes. If that doesn't scream powerviolence then I don't know what does. Vaccine are no strangers to furious hardcore (with members spending time in Orchid, Ampere, Glue, Relics, and No Faith), as their previous 7"s mastered the art of millisecond bursts of straight-edge aggression, but Dead Inside brings it to a whole other level of pissed off.
