Rastlan Oldies Vol. 1

"Ras" as in RASTA (rastafarian) and "TLAN" as in AZTLAN (the homeland of the ancient mexicas) Growing up in California and being of Mexican descent you just cant help but be exposed to Oldies, cholo and Low rider culture for better or for worse but the music is classic. I remember those old tapes called East side story Vol. 1 or Aztlan Oldies and of course Art Laboe's Dedicated to you.

I present you with Rastlan oldies! this is a collection of covers and a few Reggae Soul songs that you could definitely cruise to, if you know your Oldies you'll recognize the songs and artists, if you know your Reggae I know you will too.


You are gonna need Winzip for those that don't know, just open it up and unzip it, yeah someone asked :)

Bay Area Grind! Puke Grind & POT!

Smokland grind unit, they've changed alot considering they need a guitarist and a bassist but when they started they were
"Rob Avery (Self Inflicted, Farticus) on bass, Miker (Brutal Death) on guitar, Damian (bred on deception, progeria, lack of interest, bad acid trip, self inflicted) on drums and vocals, and Pete (benumb, Agenda of Swine) on the main mic. Miker went off to college and George (chromium six) jumped in on guitar. Pete got a real job and Damian started doing all the vocals until Kindred (Plutocracy, No Less, Go Like this, Bullshit Excuse) jumped on the mic. George got into the thick of it and went underground for a bit and Alex (hashcobra, self inflicted, Duck and Cover) jumped in on guitar. The man took Kindred from us and we all started singing. After about a year, Alex left to focus more on his other band and George came back up in the mix. Kindred's back now too so we'll see what happens." ,br>sooo basicly same old story peeps coming peeps going heres them LIVE AT BURNT RAMEN

Strains of the apocalypse Live

apocalyptic crust!

This band is from chicago I would describe them as ekkaia inspired, if you've never heard of Ekkaia they sound like slightly melodic hxc crust but Bosque (bow-skeh) is more like a crusty d-beat steamroller.

Here are three songs from their westcoast tour demo... well the only three songs from it!
