BCore (from Barcelona) released some top-quality 7 inches between 1998 and 2000 from the following bands:
Fireside,
Kepone,
June of 44,
The Capitol City Dusters &
Aina (split),
Bluetip &
NRA (split), and
The Dismemberment Plan &
Juno (split).
A bit later,
BCore made a
CD collection of all 13 songs released from their 7 inch series. We just rediscovered a small stack of these CDs here in the office, and we’re selling them at a reduced price: 2 bucks each. This is a lot of good music for cheap.
Obviously, picking up songs from bands like June of 44 and
Dismemberment Plan may be a particular draw, but do not overlook the others. One of my favorite songs from this collection is Kepone’s “Conjure Man” – clocking in at just a minute and a half.
If you’re not familiar with Spain’s Bcore, I highly recommend checking out some of their releases. If you have no idea where to begin, you could always start
here.
