i.o.v. - another destructive century tape (1987)

I.O.V. also known as Intoxication Of Violence existed between 1986 and 1989.
This album is their only studio recording, which mixes '82 UK punk influences with some fast & noisy H/C. Most fast parts are really chaotic due to the lack of skills from the rythm section, still, it's a really good release.
According to some gig reports from the era, they were lately evolving to crossover/thrash metal, playing covers from Slayer and Metallica before calling it quits.
Gerri Duenas, the guitarist, did the cover drawing, he had a zine back then called "Blatant Underground" and he's pursuing nowadays a carreer doing classical oil painting.

drastic noise - combatants of anarchy demo (1994)

When the TRC label ceased its activities in 1989, things became much more difficult for the next breed of punk bands of the early Nineties. They had to wait for another label to take care of them, or they had to self-produce.
If TRC didn't exist in the Eighties, all the local punk movement probably couldn't develop to that level, Tommy Tanchanco had funds and connections, he could give the bands access to decent recording conditions, media exposure, the tapes were professionaly designed, thanks to mr.Dodong Viray... There's a strong possibility the bands couldn't achieve that if they had to do it themselves.
