the judas iscariot "semi-discography"



the judas iscariot where one of those bands back in the day that i never really made a concenrated effort to check out at first, and when i did get around to getting their stuff, they never played here.........they were a simple noisy, jazzy hardcore  trio from brooklyn that could go from noisy brutal stuff on the powerviolence tip to emotive stuff similar to chino horde or even the minutmen with a suprising amount of depth for  a band utilizing only two instruments....just wished theyd been able to  play some shows out here but as with alot of bands i never saw from that era, sur la vie.........anyways this compiles their entire recorded history, including the "harrison bergeron bound" "7, the "skeptics, mystics & blind idolaters" "7, split lp w/seein red and songs from various comps (blleaaurrgggh, save you, israfel, all's quiet on the eastern front) if im missing anything feel free to let me know!

anyways here we are:

  1. There is more.
    There is a full-length album which was recorded, mixed, and mastered, but never released. After 13 years we are still trying to put it out...but who knows. There is also a demo as well. Several labels over the years were going to put out a complete discography (including the unreleased record), but it never happened.

  3. This is Jeff from The Judas Iscariot. It's important to mention that we were NOT a two-man band. Aside from myself (bass) & Aaron (drums - who posted above), there was also Rich who was our vocalist/lyricist/philosopher/trumpet-er & short wave radio manipulator. It was very definitively a trio. We are optimistic that a full-blown discography WILL happen in the future. Better late than never.

  4. Here it is a year later...naturally, the discography did not come out as we had hoped or intended. Ultimately, we decided to digitally post the unreleased record that was to be part of it. You can find that here: http://thejudasiscariot.bandcamp.com/album/the-lost-prophets
