Hawaii Punk MegaMix by Harry Jerkface

Long time no post. Working on getting some more material to post on here, which isn't to say I'm running dry. Trying to stay in somewhat of a chronological order is the problem. I'm about to just say fuck it and randomize. So in the theme of randomization and mixing it up, I present to you a Hawaii punk mix, which was put together by our comrade Harry, an ex-pat Hawaii punk currently living in Los Angeles, CA. He's been in a lot of bands since his teens, and is currently playing in Hands Like Bricks, Harry and the Hendersons and Black Fag (The Absolutely Fabulous Tribute to Black Flag) in L.A. and Eddie Murphy's Law when he visits the 808.

Harry made a mix for a friend who was curious about the scene over here. It kinda goes all over spectrum through genres and decades, with lots of old school stuff and a few current jams as well. Some bands on here have a discography of demos and albums, some only got to record one or two songs for a comp, so you get a really broad idea of the music scene over the years. Harry also wrote some great notes to go with it, which you'll find when you open the zip file.

PS. If anyone else has any Hawaii punk mixes they'd like me to post, please get at me with them. It's a fun way to listen to the music and hear the history. Mix CDs were totally the way I learned about Hawaii punk. This kid Jeremy made these a few of my friends these CDs of Hawaii punk bands, but I never had a tracklisting or anything, so I rarely knew one band from the next, but it was a fun way to dig into the scene.
