Sons of Ishmael


I honestly don't listen to that much thrashy hardcore anymore, but I still give the Sons of Ishmael's debut 7" Hayseed Hardcore a spin now and then. Forming in Meaford, Ontario in 1985, Sons of Ishmael would go on to release a full length, 1987's Pariah Martyr Demands a Sacrifice and a couple of additional singles before splitting for good in 1991. Hayseed Hardcore was released in 1985, and contains 13 tracks of wild, hyperactive hardcore that reminds me of early Verbal Abuse or Antidote. My favorite release by these guys
