Econochrist
Another Victim 7" (1991)
Skewed 7" (1993)
Fast, angry politico punk hardcore from the Bay Area. Great basslines, snarling vocals, and an all around crusty feel make Econochrist stand out in a crowd. There was certainly no shortage of angry politcal punk and hardcore. Still isn't. Though intelligent lyrics still remain a key factor, it all came down to sound in the long run. Econochrist were originators of their scene, fusing Crass rebellion into west coast hardcore songs.

hey man, by the way. I have a discography cd from econochrist...didn't know if you had it. If not, and you want it, just lemme know.
thanks again!
Can't speak for anyone else, but I know I want it! Just discovered this blog...awesome. This is the music I listened to in the '90s. Brings back memories of seeing Econochrist and Rorshach in Boston (or Cambridge, to be specific) in the summer of '92. Man, I'm old...
Keep it up!
man...i also got Econochrist's discography CD that ebulition put out a while back... awesome, of course!
Rorshach, tho.... man, theres a discography CD out there somewhere (Vermiform? Gern Blandstein? Gravity? i can't remember????.... Oh man, ebulition was the shit for a long time there, whoah!!!!
Oh shit! Ya know what... Garden Variety 'knocking the skill level' Holy shit!

I think I remember seeing some sawhorse somewhere...I will check!
thanks paps... i will post these up too...
Oh, I've just check your post and seen that you were going to post Moss Icon which I've posted yesterday. Sorry, blend :( But I must admit that I haven't as many hidden gems in my vault as you, so this may be the last such accident as well ;)
I cannot wait for Frail, Native Nod and these "few other" bands I've probably never heard before!
its okay... we are on the same wavelength... its kind of cool. plus, im gonna take a break from this site for a little bit and you and maize are the go to guys for fresh tunes... not to mention Wine Women Song for all things sinister and the Postapocalyptic Vanguard for all things post-rocky...
wow!! kissmysoundsytem. i was gonna post Navio Forge too!!!
what is going on? are you me? am i you?
okay, so i will post the others i mentioned and i have some other things... im just gonna blaze through my collection and leave you all with a bunch of stuff...
AMAZING THANKS!
shit. jawk found me.
thanks so much for posting the discog CD! I plan to order it soon from Ebullition, but need to save up. Not sure if you've heard, but Kent's mailorder minimums are now $100.
Anyone have any Life...But How to Live It? or Submission Hold they can post? That'd be dope...
Ooops! Another blogging accident?! We must be really on the same wavelength last times :)
And, of course, I haven't been able to do it without papstar's great help. Until yesterday I was almost totally unaware of their existence and never ever heard even one of their songs! And when I started listening to them I simply couldn't resisted posting this gem :)
I'm listening to Navio Forge almost non-stop now :)
we need some Torches to Rome in here...
Glad you asked for Life....? One of the best Norwegian bands ever. Here are the Burn/Green tracks (the ones that were rereleased on Ebullition) + a live track:

I'd love to hear anything from Torches to Rome!!! You know, I'm still living in this cave :)
Hey, soulfire, if you have this on your hard drive and could be so nice to re-up it on mediafire or something more human-friendly then megashitload I'll be very grateful :)
I'm just think about ordering some Submission Hold's records, bostock, but it can take some time for me! But it seems like I'm lucky with no such money limits in my distro here ;) So if I do it I'll post it for sure!
THANKS SOULFIRE!!!
I second that...you rock, Soulfire! By the way, is your screen name a Refuse to Fall reference? Don't they have a 7" by that name?
good selection of 7"s.
definetly throw that frail up. i loved them, had their t-shirt too.
refuse to fall?! holy smokes i still have that record...haha. i remember it is quite orange! they were on that whole krsna tip i recall.
The Refuse To Fall EP and some other goodies are available for download at www.krishnacore.com. The Although I like the 7", it's not influential in my choice of screen name or band name (see myspace.com/soulfirehc if you're interested in checking that out)
I'll try to get the LBHTLI tracks up on mediafire. Latest news is that singer Katja sang five songs (Bad Brains, Blondie and more) on Saturday with cover band 49 Crash (featuring members of Life... and So Much Hate)
Att. Kissmysoundsystem: Kiss my media(soul)fire!

(the same Life... tracks)
Thx, soulfire! I've almost entirely overlooked this in our last comment madness :)
It can't really have effect, I think this way.
Well, I don't actually consider this is likely to have success.
