mable 04 - Strung Up "Society Rot In Hell + More" Tape RM7ppd/USD 4 (Asia)/USD5(World)
Pissed off '80s era hardcore punk hailed from Bay Area, California. Angry relentless full on traditional hardcore punk with sick guitar wanks and gnarly vocals, similar to SOA, Void or Verbal Abuse. Bonus tracks include debut s/t 7" (2002) and a few previously unreleased songs as well. RM7ppd/USD4 (Asia)/USD5 (World)
Some Reviews.
"Perfect 1980's hardcore punk! I like VOID, but without all the slop (which I realize is the charm w/ Void, but I'm trying to say that STRUNG UP capture that fierceness, and still play tight and in tune) Lurching intros into breakneck full speed attacks driven by buzzsaw guitars that aren't afraid to wank every now and then. Picture SOA in 1981. Pretty good huh? Now give all of them a fat line of quality bay area meth and you get Strung Up. Raspy shouted vocals that sound more like getting yelled at by a wasted vagrant than listening to songs about priest sex abuse, suicide, news media and dead cops. Extra "fuck you" in the mix....man, this makes me wanna get really drunk."- Slug and Lettuce
"This one is killer! Strung Up, from the Oakland/San Francisco area, play fast and pissed punk fucking rock. A great example of the current Bay Area sound, this one is among the ranks of Born/Dead, Desolation, and other phenomenal bands in the area. The music is short and to the point, the lyrics are angry and smart, and the mix of the album sounds great. The drums are super punchy in that old school '80s punk way, and the guitars and bass have really nice amp sounds and resonance to them and generally mingle with the drums in a way that's heavy but not a brick wall of sound. Overall a great release and I look forward to hearing more!" - Heartattack 47.

mable 02 - v/a Cynic 19, The Act We Act & At Least I Speak "Malaysia/Singapore Tour Edition" cd RM10(by hand)/RM11ppd (free poster!)
This CD is been put out as both of Cynic 19 and The act we act had came to Malaysia to do a 10 days Malaysian/Singapore tour. CYNIC 19 is a thrashcore band that played in vein of lip cream/das oath etc. Rock n roll riff ala vivisick and for sure have many amazing breakdown/stop n go. This is really good. THE ACT WE ACT play more to post hardcore music with lotsa jazzy influence inside their music. They pull a very energetic music inside but at the same time drive a very good structure in their music driven. They are been compare to crimson curse and mixed up with the angst of born against & AT LEAST I SPEAK is a local screamo bands that have a lotsa things to say about them. Good lyrics as well. They are comparable to screamo bands like neil perry or songs of zarathusta. The music is powerful. This CD also come with a big full color A3 size poster. So get it before it's too late.!
