Death to Capitalist Hardcore is an EP by English crust punk band Sore Throat. It was originally released on 7" vinyl by Acid Rain Records in early 1988 to a pressing of 1000 copies, and has been bootlegged multiple times since. The cover artwork depicts a suited man being impaled on a spike, clutching what appears to be a record by Texan hardcore/crossover band Dirty Rotten Imbeciles who, at the time, were enjoying a brief period of commercial success.
The album is an example of micro-songs, with an average song length of less than 20 seconds. Also of note are the several songs attacking other bands, including the shortest (5 second) Fungicidal Tendencies, targeted at Suicidal Tendencies.
Background Drummer Nicholas Royles said of the experience:
