Whitewinter Records is stoked to announce that we'll be re-releasing both of Battletruk's full length albums 'Born To Kill' (previously released on CD by Common Bond Records) and 'Acid Death' (previously manipulated by Dead Nation Records) onto vinyl for the first time ever and pressing 200 copies of both the albums onto one massive LP.
Battletruk was formed in 2005 by some of the guys who played in legendary Perth hardcore/punk bands Negative Reply, PC Thug, Boredumb, Miles Away, 3 Days Later, From The Ruins as a reaction to the weak as piss so called hardcore that was gaining popularity at the time which had engulfed the scene with hair straighteners and ready made tattoo's all providing a necessity to prove yourself before exiting to summer festivals telling everyone you're not really into hardcore punk anymore. Any one who has experienced the pint-smashing-beer-soaked mayhem at shows in their hometown of Perth (or Sydney and Melbourne as of late) know these guys churn out some pretty pissed off thrash, especially on tracks like '6AM', 'Smash The Scene', ''The Demented', Acid Death' and of course the anthemic 'Hated'
Highly recommended if you dig bands like Black Flag, D.R.I, Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedy's, Cro Mags, Sick Of It All, Minor Threat, Extortion etc.
