Showing that central California is more than something you pass through while driving to San Francisco, this collection showcases the classic and often duplicated "Nardcore" Sound. Features tracks from Dr. Know, Ill Repute, Stalag 13, RKL, and others.
Nardcore is a hardcore punk movement that came out of Southern California in the early 1980s, originating in Silverstrand Beach, Oxnard and Port Hueneme. Most of the early Nardcore shows originated from Casa Tropical, Port Hueneme Skate Palace and other venues in the Oxnard area.
The name is a reference to the Oxnard, California hardcore punk scene. This suburban community, sixty miles west of Los Angeles, California, was the spawning ground for many hardcore punk bands of the early '80s and became a hotbed for punk and skate bands; collectively, their sound became known as "Nardcore." The Nardcore symbol, a popular tattoo, was created by Ismael Hernandez of Dr. Know on a "PeeChee" folder when he was in school.
Much of the early promotion of Nardcore came from Mystic Records and its founder Doug Moody. Questions have been raised about their financial dealings with the artists.[/quote]
