RESOURCES
Lipstick Killers: Mark Murmann's site that contains both CompHELLation, an in-depth guide to KBD, Bloodstains, Back to Front, and all other '78-'83 punk compilations, plus his ACTION! photozine.
Killed By Hype: An amazing site run by collector and nice guy Paul Routenberg, specializing in KBD-era punk. Detailed lists and reviews of compilations, plus country-by-country discographies. Opinionated and generally dead-on.
Kill from the Heart: A pretty detailed worldwide hardcore site with a lot of great links and info for mostly pre-1990 acts. A great resource for tracking down those Brazilian hardcore records or if you need to brush up on your Terveet Kadet knowledge. Packed with obscure stuff.
Collectorscum.com: A page that houses Henry Weld's Music Pages (extensive Australian punk/Radio Birdman discographies) and Volume 3 of the Discography of American Punk, which is a fanatical list of pretty much any early American punk record you can think of, divided by region/state, and with cover scans/pressing info for most of them. Plus, the Discography of Punk 8-Tracks among other things. An incredible resource.
Goner Records: The world's hottest bulletin board, plus mailorder/news/pics/Memphis courtesy of Eric Oblivian.
Australian Post-Punk: A comprehensive discography of the Australian post-punk scene, with a lot of sleeve scans. Linked to the No Night Sweats site, which has some interesting MP3's as well.

The Mod Pop Punk Archives: Very nice informational site, with discographies, sleeves scans, and MP3's from 1976-1985 power-pop/mod bands.
Trouser Press: They pretty much stopped paying attention starting in 1996 or so, but for anything before then it's still an invaluable resource for discographies and well-written reviews for all that is/was "New Wave" or "Underground" at the time. E-mail your questions to Ira Robbins himself, he actually answers them.
All Music Guide: AMG pretty much picked up where Trouser Press left off. Much less reliable, but surprisingly informative on occassion.

Trakmarx: UK based web-zine with a mindset similar to ours. Great interviews, features, and the like. Recommended.
