Few things better than popping in a completely random and unknown demo and getting your ass blown off, right? KING DUMP rip through five tracks of early '00s fastcore with a relentless pace and a brilliantly dated ska breakdown in "Emo Sux." Just for good measure, there's a seven song no-fi rehearsal recording featuring a MINOR THREAT cover tacked onto the end...if anyone has anything to add then I'm all ears (I'm sure we all are).

Wow! I'm pretty sure that this band didn't put out anything else, but I could be wrong.
King Dump was a central NY punk band that stopped playing shows right around the same time that I first got involved in the scene there. The details are blurry, but I believe that the band ended when the drummer died, probably around 2002 or 2003. I remember them mostly being around Syracuse, but I believe some members were from Rome.
Bran from King Dump went on to form a bunch of other great bands in that area. Gamera, Atom Age, and Herpes are the three that come to mind. Herpes definitely got around (no pun intended), not so sure how well heard the other bands were, but I have their stuff if you're interested.
The Herpes demo is up here:

Also, in regards to the bands they thanks, you're probably familiar with No Fucker, but if you haven't heard JWSH (John Wayne's Severed Head), it is definitely worth seeking out.
Yo, this was a band from Rome, NY way back before I even started going to shows. This was when they were in highschool, I'm pretty sure. There's some sort of affiliation with No Fucker in there, and they made another band after the bassist for King Dump, Bubba, passed away called Atom Age around '09 (I think?). Then, one of the guys went on to be in Herpes, with Jesse from No Fucker. I'm curious if they sent this to you or you just found it somewhere.
There was also a different version of Emo Sux where they stopped playing started singing "you're lipstick, his collar, don't bother angel, i know exactly what goes OOOOOON!" and then went back into Emo Sux.
