Beastie Boys contemporaries and influence, The Bad Brains, Attitude release from 1981. Also Black Flag's Jealous Again release from 1980. You may also like the first 3 releases from the Dead Kennedies as well, and although I usually don't advocate this sort of thing, if you like the Dead Kennedies, get their stuff through non-commercial channels, as the founding member of the band got screwed by the rest of the band a few years ago and no longer controls their back catalog.
Also, be on the lookout for Discharge's excellent 'Hear Nothing,See Nothing, Say Nothing' release from 1982, Any Hardcore from Finland such as Rattus, Riistityt, Etc, and Sepultara Contemporaries Ratos de Porao. You might also like the first MDC album from 1982, usually referred to as their 'Millions of Dead Cops' release.
Furthermore, There is also Black Flag's 'Damaged', which was their first album with their then new (CA. 1981) singer Henry Rollins, and look for their bootlegged 1982 demos, which features early versions of songs from '6 Pack' and 'My War'.
