Making Punk A Threat Again!

  • The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

    FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record. 

    “Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind. 

    FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

  • Finally, the third LP from AGNOSY has arrived! 

    AGNOSY-cover

    Dark, heavy, galloping crust from the streets of London. AGNOSY is back to present us with a ferocious beast of an album that can only be forged by the anger and frustration of living in today’s world. “When Daylight Reveals The Torture” aggressively attacks evils such the current rise of fascism and animal abuse. It intelligently and passionately touches on the Afrin invasion and the revolution in Rojava and shows nothing but utter disgust toward the arrogance of humankind’s lust for greed and power that will inevitably lead us down paths of war and environmental devastation.

    AGNOSY – Live at SCUMFEST in London. 2011

    While lyrically AGNOSY are much more politicly straight forward this time around than on previous releases, musically they have expanded on their sound to create a dark and moody atmosphere while at the same time staying crust as fuck. To say they know what they are doing would be an understatement from this band of vets whose members have played in HIATUS, HEALTH HAZARD, and BEGINNING OF THE END.

    Long galloping intros are followed up by traditional d-beat, fierce solo’s are then meet with vicious vocals and pulverizing bass in a brilliant recording captured by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Portland’s legendary Audiosiege. We then pressed on deluxe heavyweight 150-gram vinyl,  printed on reverse board jackets, and included an 11in x 22in gatefold insert to bring you a high quality and truly epic record.

    Review by Craig Hayes from “Your Last Rites”… 
    Swordwielder – System Overlord 
    Heavyweight punk fanatics take note: System Overlord is a fucking triumph. The long-awaited sophomore album from Gothenburg stenchcore band Swordwielder is a brooding behemoth, constructed from the filthiest and heftiest strains of punk and metal. System Overlord shimmers with apocalyptic visions, and it’s overflowing with all the grim atmospherics and intimidating intensity that defines consummate crushing crust.

    Too much hype? No way… And no apologies, either. Swordwielder deal in definitive stenchcore on System Overlord, and much like their full-length debut, 2013’s Grim Visions of Battle, the band’s latest release is a knockout. Swordwielder’s harsh, gruff and dark sound owes a significant debt to old school icons like Amebix, Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct, and Antisect, and they mix and mangle their influences and leave ’em to rot on the battlefield.

    Plenty of hammering rage drives System Overlord tracks like “Violent Revolution,” “Savage Execution” and “Cyborgs,” and thundering epics like “Corrupt Future” and “Northern Lights” exhibit subtler strengths, mixing guttural growls and clean vocals with crashing percussion and dirge-laden riffs. Connoisseurs of corpse-dragging crust will love the brute-force belligerence of “Absolute Fear,” “Nuclear Winter,” and “Second Attack,” which rain down like merciless mortar barrages. As a rule, all of System Overlord‘s mammoth tracks chug and churn with grinding muscle, while reeking of squalor and decay.

    Swordwielder exudes tightly coiled aggression from start to finish here—songs rise from the ashes of desolation, and resounding calls for action and resistance ring loud. If you’re a fan of heavy-hitters like Fatum, War//Plague, Carnage, Zygome, Cancer Spreading or (insert your favorite hefty crust crew here), System Overlord‘s trampling tempo and strapping sound are bound to appeal.

    “Sermon for the Bootlickers”

    Despite the inculcation of helplessness within each there remains great power. Ill at ease with such makes us ill. Learn to see the hand that feeds for what it is. You’ve been fooled if you think you’ve got no power. Refuse to be reduced to a consumer you’re a human being. Define yourself by more than wealth. Define yourself as a human. You don’t need what you’re being sold. Bend your knee to no authority but your own mind. You have the power to avoid the gilded trap. Avarice is what you’re conditioned for. Break the mold discover what’s really valuable to you.

4 Why Coffee Should Cost More

  • January 27, 2016
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

Before you roll your eyes and start mumbling about the fixed gear trust fund hipsters with the big beards, hard parted hair and skinny jeans that frequent the local coffee shop…hear me out. The coffee producers are getting screwed. As I type this, the Coffee C market price(the price at which commodity coffee gets traded) is only $1.17 per pound in it’s green unroasted form. Sure, that might sound like great news for people on the consuming end. Let’s face it, most of us drink coffee every day, sometimes multiple cups a day and we all like to save money where we can, but that savings greatly affects the producers. When you get coffee at the gas station, bodega or brew from a big can at home, that is most likely commodity grade coffee. When you go to a local coffee shop that charges $2-$5 a cup, those places are paying a lot more for the coffee. It’s not that they are just trying to get more of your money to stuff in their pockets, they are also making sure the coffee farmers are making more of a living wage. Think about this: it takes approximately 40 coffee beans to make one cup of coffee. Those beans are picked by hand one at a time(except on large farms in Brazil where some are mechanically picked) since the pickers have to be sure to only pick only ripe coffee cherries and those without noticeable defects. Then they have to be transported in heavy bags on foot or sometimes bicycle to a station to be sorted, processed, dried and bagged for export. Now, if the coffee companies here are only paying $1.17 a pound, how much of that do you think gets back to farmer? Not only do they have to support families, they have to buy fertilizer for the farms, upkeep equipment and whatever else comes along in life. Fair Trade price is only $1.40($1.70 if organic), but models that are more of a direct trade are available that ensure the farmers can earn much more a pound and that’s what the better coffee companies are doing. So next time you go to buy a cup of coffee, consider going to a place that supports a more sustainable business model. If you don’t want to support sweatshop clothing or factory farmed food, why wouldn’t you include coffee in those decisions? Most places will be honest with you about their practices if they aren’t shady. This is why coffee should cost more. This is just a brief summery of what goes on and was something that was on my mind while I drink a mug of Colombian coffee that was more than double the C Market price.I’ve been a coffee roaster for about 7 years now and am always learning more about the politics of coffee. If you folks are interested in reading more about coffee, I’ll keep writing about it.

Cheers!

0 DIY Cold Brew Coffee

  • August 7, 2015
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project

I figured I should post this while we still have some Summer weather, since so many of us like cold coffee on a hot day, but don’t want to pay ridiculous amounts of cash to do it. You’re probably thinking that it’s as simple as brewing coffee and dropping ice cubes in it. You can do that, but you risk creating a diluted bitter drink. If you want a heavier bodied, sweet cold coffee, try this:

Take a 32oz mason jar and add very coarsely ground coffee half way between the 200-400ml lines. Add cold water almost to the top and give it a vigorous stir, then top it off. Put it aside for roughly 12 hours. At this point, scoop what you can off the top and pour the rest through a filter. The remaining liquid is a cold coffee concentrate that just saved you a bunch of cash and a trip into public.

0 Misozuke – fermented tofu “cheese”

  • I’ve made this once and it was totally delicious and creamy. You’ll definitely need patience for this recipe, but it’s totally worth it! I took the recipe directly from the site http://www.rauom.com/2011/05/24/tofu-misozuke-recipe/
  • I tried half with white miso and half with brown and they were both really good! (Jake)
  • We’ll need sugar, sake, yellow miso, and firm tofu.
  • Wrap a tofu block in 2-3 layers of paper towels & set a dish on top of the tofu block and let it dry out for 1-2 hours.
  • For each half block of tofu, prepare a marinade spread of 1/2 cup of miso, 1 tablespoon each of sake and sugar. Mix well.
  • Wrap tofu in cheesecloth and smear marinade on all sides. How much of the marinade should be used is up to you and your salt preference.
  • Line a storage container with 2-3 layers of paper towels, place tofu block on top, cover and refrigerate.
  • Change paper towels every month (SEE UPDATE BELOW) – the paper towels will become really wet, yet the tofu will not be any dryer because enzymes in the miso are breaking down the soy proteins and generating water. Chemistry!

 

0 Baba Ganouj

photoDawn and I recently had a craving for baba ganouj and looked through almost every cookbook on our shelf until we came across our very reliable and underrated copy of The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook. Though it says vegetarian, every recipe is vegan doesn’t rely on meat and cheese substitutes. Anyway, here’s our modified version of their recipe:

1 large eggplant, cut lengthwise 1/2″ thick

olive oil for brushing

sea salt

3 TBSP tahini

3 TBSP lemon juice

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 TBSP olive oil

1/4 C chopped fresh parsley (optional)

sea salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F

Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with a little salt and place flat on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender. Place in food processor and blend until smooth. Use as a dip, spread on sandwiches or just eat wit a spoon if no one is looking.

 

 

 

0 So, the pickle jar is empty…

  • February 17, 2013
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

I know I haven’t posted much lately. Sorry. The East Coast is cold and shitty and we don’t have much in the way of fresh produce right now. I don’t like to post recipes with processed foods, but I might once in a while. Not too much, though. So, many of us like pickles and, unless we drink the leftover pickle juice, it goes down the drain. It can be used in a martini of sorts(if you’re of age), but my favorite use is slaw. Shred two carrots, thinly slice a cup or so of red cabbage and thinly slice one medium onion and place all of it in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of sea salt or pink salt and cover in the leftover juice from your last jar of pickles. Place a plate over top and put a weight on top to keep everything under the juice. Let sit for a day or longer and add slaw to sandwiches or just eat on it’s own!

0 Vegan Tofurkey Melt

vegan melt

I had really been craving a melt lately and figured I’d throw one together. Not only is this sandwich easy to make but it turned out SO GOOD! This will cure your cravings and definitely leave you satisfied.

Ingredients

– Vegan Bacon

– Butter

– Bread

– Tofurkey deli slices

– Tomato

– Thousand island dressing

  1. Prepare preferred vegan bacon on skillet.
  2. As the “bacon” is cooking, prepare the sandwich. Butter outsides of bread then cut slices in half; add the Tofurkey, tomato, Thousand Island dressing, and finally the bacon once it’s done cooking.
  3. Put the sandwich in the skillet and flip once bread is golden brown. Repeat this step with the other side of the sandwich.

I used Tofurkey’s hickory smoked deli slices (brown box), Lightlife Smart Bacon and a multigrain bread for the melt in the picture. Add more veggies to the sandwich or a vegan cheese if you’d like.

0 Spicy Leftover Mashed Potato Muffins

In our house we have a tendency to make more food than we are going to use for that meal so that we always have leftovers for lunch, dinner or to take to work and that means we have to get creative sometimes to avoid eating the same thing day after day. This time we had leftover mashed potatoes, so I did this:

Ingredients:

  • Approx 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • Half a red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large jalapeno pepper, diced
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • Approx 1 cup almond(or other non-dairy milk

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix together dry ingredients, then blend in mashed potatoes, onion and jalapeno. Add wet ingredients and mix together until you get a  thick gooey paste. In a wel greased small muffin tin, scoop in mixture filling to about 3/4 full. Bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with gravy, hot sauce, vegenaise or vegan margarine. For another option, use an ice-cream scooper to scoop into an oiled skillet on medium heat, press flat and fry like pancakes. Super yummy!

0 Sunchoke (Jerusalem Artichoke) Biscuits

After an amazing crop of sunchokes in our garden this year, we are still exploring new ways to use them. Hopefully we find a few we like, because I planted twice as many at the end of the season! Here’s my latest experiment.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Sift together 2 cups flour, 1 TBSP baking powder and 1.5 tsp sea salt. Add 1 cup boiled and mashed sunchokes, 1 TBSP olive oil and 1 TBSP non dairy milk. Mix until dough forms, shape into biscuits and bake for 20 minutes. There you have it. The chokes give the bread an interesting flavor and a potato bread like texture.

1 C earth balance
2T egg replacer
1/2 C water
2 C brown sugar
1T vanilla
3 1/8C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
5 tsp finely ground espresso

1 bag dairy free chocolate chips

Pre heat oven to 350F. Let the margarine sit out and get a little soft. While that is going on, mix the egg replacer and water together and let sit for about 10 minutes to get nice and thick. Cream together margarine, sugar, egg replacer and vanilla. Add salt and baking soda and espresso and mix thoroughly. Mix in flour. Start with ha little less flour and feel it out. Some flour is tougher to work than others, so you may not need all of it. If you haven’t snacked on all the chips, mix those in. Shape into 2″ balls and flatten out to about half an inch thick and bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how well your oven works. When they come out, give the pan a good smack on the counter. Trust me, it’s good for the texture.

 

0 Winter Tagine with Fenugreek and Rose

  • November 29, 2012

  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter Tagine with Fenugreek and rose: a Moroccan twist on roasted root vegetables. I don’t have a “tagine”, the pot the dish is named after, but I do have a cast iron and you probably do too. The most important part are the spices (“ras el hanout”… google it, for chrissakes).

With a mortar and pestle or another grinder, blend:

1 tsp fenugreek
1 tbs dried rosepetals
various other mix of spices, such as turmeric, coriander, cinnamon (go easy on this) black pepper, nutmeg, chili peppers, anything you might put in an indian curry. you can even use a masala curry powder if you are a cop out. i made this one nutmeggy.

toast in your cast iron skillet on LOW for 5 minutes or until fragrant. add to the pan:

1 block frozen, thawed and drained tofu
1 medium onion
5 garlic cloves, in skin, sliced in half
1/2 cup black or green olives
1 small lemon, sliced, rind and all
assorted root vegetables. whatever fits in the pan and looks good from the dumpster or farmer’s market
as much olive oil as you and comfortable with

Mix together, bake at 350 for about an hour or until everything is cooked and browned! Traditional tagines are a little more stew like but who cares, it’s your world.
