Originally released as a compilation of punk and hardcore reinterpretations, Punk Rock Jukebox delivers a raw, energetic cross-section of the underground scene in its prime. A standout among the tracklist is Killing Time’s cover of “Bodies” – a searing, no-frills take on the Sex Pistols classic that filters its sneering attitude through the band’s unmistakable NYHC lens.

Where The Wild Things Are is a 1989 compilation album of New York hardcore tracks by various artists. It was the first release on the hardcore punk specialist label Blackout! Records. Raw Deal contributed two tracks Brightside and Backtrack.

A bold evolution in their sound, Happy Hour introduced more melodic and mid-tempo elements without losing their edge. The EP showed the band experimenting with structure and groove, reflecting a broader musical scope while retaining hardcore roots.

Often overlooked but essential, Unavoidable compiles rare and unreleased tracks from Killing Time’s early ’90s sessions. It showcases the transition between the Brightside and Happy Hour eras, offering a raw snapshot of their progression.

Before becoming Killing Time, the band recorded this essential demo under the name Raw Deal. Gritty, aggressive, and packed with attitude, it captured the raw energy of New York hardcore in its purest form. Featuring early versions of tracks like “Telltale” and “Brightside,” the demo spread quickly through tape-trading and built serious buzz in the underground scene.

Brightside is Killing Time’s landmark debut album and a cornerstone of NYHC. Blending crushing breakdowns with sharp, metallic riffs and raw street-level aggression, it defined a more intense, heavier hardcore sound. Tracks like “Backtrack” and the title cut “Brightside” are fan favorites that still hit hard today.

The Method finds Killing Time returning with sharpened focus. It’s heavier, cleaner, and more deliberate, with tight production and songs like “Used to It” and “It Must Be Nice” showcasing a matured, controlled aggression. Hardcore refined but never watered down.

Their comeback album after more than a decade, Three Steps Back proves Killing Time never lost their fire. Fast, fierce, and focused, it combines the best of their old-school sound with fresh energy. A defiant, powerful reminder that NYHC never dies.
