Cripple Bastards boxset being released by Selfmadegod Records

Selfmadegod Records have announced that they’ll be releasing a 4-CD boxset featuring the early works of legendary grinders Cripple Bastards.

Age Of Vandalism is four-CD box set to be released on July 16. This deluxe digipack features remastered versions of ALL of the Cripple Bastards‘ releases from 1988 to 1993, plus an incredible amount of unreleased tunes, and draws the complete history of the Bastards on tape. This will include the four official demos, the split 7″ with Violent Headache (with extra unreleased tracks!), and basically HOURS of unreleased noise, including pre-Cripple Bastards thrash from 1986-1987.

A jump back to the late-1980s/early-1990s DIY noisecore spirit made by tapetraders, cult labels, and ear-damaging bands releasing zillions of tracks on terrific lo-fi demos, not giving a damn about studio production and “I can’t hear the snare”-type pedant asses, Age Of Vandalism contains 1,036 songs.

They have a pretty huge following, although I can’t say I’m a big fan, I’ve only heard a few splits they were on, and enjoyed what I heard for the most part.  If you’re a diehard Cripple Bastards fan then this release is likely a mandatory addition to your collection, it’s only limited to 1,000 copies though.  You can pre-order it direct from Selfmadegod Records.
