Dis Fckn Suxx



















DisSucks - A Room With A View Of A World Of Shit - 1st 7"





















DisSucks - S/T - 2nd 7"

So. Philly. Mid 90's. Who remembers Lancaster ave? Who remembers Hoagie City? Who remembers Stalag 13? I do. There was some crazy hardcore coming out of that city at that time. Right here you have two of the best 7" records to come out of that scene. This band would have gone on to great things, but they had singer issues. Recently found out that both original singers are dead. Jay Warren was a friend of mine. He taught me some things about life and dealing with it that still hold true - To find out he went out due to complications after heart surgery is... Hard. Ray, on the other hand, never liked me. But I don't think he liked much of anything. You won't hear Jay on either of these records.

If anybody who knows these guys knows how to get a hold of Little Tony (As opposed to Big Tony, of Stalag/R.A.M.B.O. fame), I don't know if he would remember me or not, but i miss that dude. Funny as fuck, and one of the most amazing drummers I've ever watched play.

For those keeping score, Andrew Martini of XLimpwristX played guitar in this band - I have an interview with him where he refers to them as "some crust band I used to play in" - I was hurt - If the guitar riffs in Limpwrist were a tenths as good as they were in DisSucks, I might be posting that instead... but it's ok Andrew, the last time I saw you you were nursing a six pack of Bush talls and a big gang of us rolled down to the abandoned refinery near 1505, got inside the big oil tower and kids beat on the walls until the reverberation made me dizzy and I had to go puke. Tell me you remember that and all is forgiven, Ha Ha.

Ah, punk rock.

P.S. the song "Fuck You All" from the 2nd 7" is the theme song to my life right now. RIP Jay and Ray. And thanks for this shit. At least I remember how great it was when everything sucked so bad.

This came from Death Metal Dan's blog Severed Forever. He's posting some wild rare shit from the 90's crust heyday, before it was all revival shit, so go check him out. I got's to give ups to him here too, not just for popping my c-box's cherry, but for hooking it up with these two gems at a time when I desperately need this music to remind me that you can hate and hope and have no hope and still go on with this sordid business of living. Thank You Dan!
