F.O.A.D. Records

Italian Thrash / Hardcore label, fanzine and mailorder since 1986, from Torino. F.O.A.D. originally was started by Marco Garripoli as a skate-Hardcore-Thrash fanzine on Xeroxed paper: 7 issues were published (1986/1990), all of them limited to a few hundred copies. In the years to follow F.O.A.D. gradually turned into a DIY label mainy releasing unreleased recordings on tape, the most remarkable of them being an Indigesti rehearsal Demo later re-issued on the band’s official “Sguardo Realtà” early days CD, Blue Vomit – Live 1982 cassette, Bad Brains “Roir Session + live” later re-issued by Victory Records, and live tapes by Mega City Four and No Means No. After a long hiatus the label came back to activity in 2006 with some co-productions of local HC bands on CD and above all with the discography CD of the Italian Punk/HC legends Blue Vomit, followed by other releases, reissues, unreleased and new stuff on vinyl, cd and cassette.
