VA- Buried Alive - The Best From Smoke 7 Records 1981-1983

Label: PNV

Reissued 7/31/2026, Originally released 1987

Originally released in 1987, the Buried Alive compilation was a time capsule of sorts, highlighting the prolific 1980-1983 era when the Smoke 7 label was most active. Almost 40 years later, the compilation still serves as testament to the diverse, exciting sounds documented by this SoCal hardcore label. With acts such as Bad Religion, JFA, Red Cross and Circle One shoulder to shoulder with more obscure cuts from Ten Minute Warning and Sacred Order, Buried Alive showcases the anti-commercial and community approach of the Smoke 7 label. Not to mention it's front to back packed with killer tunes. Essential listening for first wave SoCal hc enthusiasts!
