INSTIGATORS - Shockgun 1988

Hell Yeah, another saugute record I love to hear is the third album of the Instigators and I have the German one which was released via Weird System (unfortunately without insert) and they say with a better cover, absolutely true and has a bonus song opposite the original on Positive RecordsTwelve melodic guitar-heavy punkrock pearls as they can only be played by this band. A pleasure this music and that's why I'm a damn fuckin' punkrocker! How can you sit still and accept all the radio shit? The mendacious business of artificially diced arbots, which is all about money, the fake music industry who tell you what to hear, all these hypocritical bastards... the society needs people like us because we show them how stupid they are and we are many (no idea why I leave now this small puke but it just pisses me on). Well, anyway... I recommend you to get their first album Nobody Listens Anymore and find other compilation tracks by using the search function at the top left.


POTENTIAL THREAT - Never Again 1989

Top Anarchopunk with this record: Potential Threat formed in Blackburn in 1981, the first real line up being Fos, Carl & Les Donnelly joined soon after and the band began rehearsals, drummers at this stage came and went on a weekly basis. Few gigs were played, the most legendary being a show at the 'Cats Whiskers Club' located in Burnley. This gig was absolute mayhem and saw the band being forced from the stage due to flying glasses and bottles. It wasn’t long after Carl quit the band. 1982 saw the return of Potential Threat, this time fronted by Pauline on vocals, Fos on bass, Les on lead and Keith on drums. They released two 7Inches and two albums and this record was pressed in various vinyl colours like black, orange, red, clear, white, green and green marbled, each colour 1000 copies. Fazit: a solid powerful record!

V/A - We Can Do Whatever We Want 1986

Hui, now it becomes more violent with this damn compilation released via BC Tapes & Records, no idea if this is first as a tape comin' out, does not really matter. Excellent hardcore stuff, mostly bands from Italy present and they bang everything neatly in two. But also the rest mercilessly attacks the heart and catapults the pulse upwardsTwenty-nine nuggets, somewhere pressed on the bands records but many only here banned, too bad the insert is a bit poor. 1700 copies pressed on black vinyl (this version). 300 copies were pressed on blue vinyl for mailorder. Egal, this record was also licensed in red vinyl by the Munich label Starving Missile in the same year with one extra dick.

COSMETICS - s/t LP 1982

Now female fronted and come to a band from beautiful Vienna and there's not really much info in the www. The Cosmetics were founded in 1981 by the producer-couple Gitti and Ernie Seuberth. 'Coconut Smoother' is their debut 7'' which was released on Lemon Records (Zitronenklang) and with their second single, 'Hello Man' they held for weeks at No.1 the Austria charts. At the Rennbahn-Express-Star selection-1981 they were voted as the most successful local band (before Chuzpe). Gitti Seuberth sang also in the new-wave band Minisex and with the director Niki List the theme song to his cult film (and there are not many in Austria) Müllers Büro. I'm really happy and grateful for this album because it's so fuckin 'rare and only a few know, it's worth to listen to every song. Excellent pop with a fat touch of punk (KBD fit). And the band's not afraid to play a few covers, examples: 'Last Time' by the Rolling Stones or 'Summertime Blues' by unforgotten Eddie Cochran. Curious? - Very good!!!!!

PARAF - Prekinuti Koitus: 1978-1979

I love Yugo punkrock and Paraf are one of my favourite combo and first I need you to download their first album A Dan Je Tako Lijepo Počeo and read more about the band there. This nice compilation comes out via the Swedish label Ne! Records which focuse on ex-Yugoslavian punk rock music and on this record are, when I understand the inserts right, rare demo versions, live cuts and sampler goodies, the reason why I must estimate is simple: the artwork is excellent, gatefold sleeve, a lot of pics but all in Yugoslavian language, I don't really understand this and whether that brings for the rest of the world I don't think so, well, who gives a shit. Fact is: a successful record and every damn penny worth - So have a good start into the weekend and I'll be back tomorrow, Hallelujah!

VILLAGE PISTOLS - Big Money 2000

One 7Inch made these guys on nylon records and both songs are superb, Big Money was immortalized on samplers (Killed By Death # 7) and the b-side is a nice Beatles cover, chic. The Village Pistols was a coming together of hare-brained ideas by several people living in and around Greensboro, North Carolina in the Summer and Fall of 1980 and broke up in 1981. This release is brought for us by the Italian label RaveUp Records and called American Lost Punk Rock Nuggets – Vol.7 with of course the 7inch and ten rough live recordings from October 1980 in Greensboro, cool artwork and extensive liner notes.

ZK - Leichen Pflasterten Ihren Weg 1982

Last month this year and let's start December with a nostalgia record by ZK, a German punk band from Düsseldorf, which is regarded as the predecessor of the group Die Toten Hosen. At first they called themselves the Central Committee of the City Center, but in the scene, the abbreviation ZK was established. ZK was founded in November 1978 by Campino, Ralf Isbert and Claus Fabian. The first performance took place in March 1979 in the Ratinger Hof. The guitarist's position changed at first. It was not until the end of 1980 that he was filled with Andreas von Holst. The group initially played punkrock, but then continued to develop their style and integrated rock and rockabilly elements into their music. The humorous texts of the group were particularly noticeable. They were, for example, filthy phobias, cowboys sitting in bathtubs, or Christmas men with unwanted presents. In 1979 and 1980 they released a single and in 1981 followed the awsome debut album Eddie's Salon. On 21. November 1981, ZK gave their last concert at the "Okie-Dokie" in Neuss. The band members then went on different paths. This live album is so to speak an excellent compilation of all hits with nice announcements and a funny atmosphere. A great band!

DOG DETACHMENT - Fathoms Of Fire 1985

One more this evening and the last post for November, the fuckin' month of the year, gray, dark, wet and cold. This is the second album by Dog Detachment from Johannesburg which appeared on their own label Rampant Records and its a wonderful new wave poppy goodie. Somehow I'm listen to a lot such calm sound at the moment and I know why. What can I say? Not much. As well it's late and I need my bed, was a hard working day and I'm tired. If you need this kind of music now, don't hesitate. Oh, and you must check their 7Inch Machines from 1982, the punky one.


GLAXO BABIES - Put Me On The Guest List 1980

Here's an absolute great album by the Glaxo Babies, the greatest UK post-punk band you've never heard. Formed in Bristol in late 1977 and named after the British pharmaceutical giant who allegedly inoculated thousands with a toxic vaccine, the original lineup included Rob Chapman (vocals), Dan Catsis (guitar), Tom Nichols (bass), and Geoff Alsopp (drums). The band's pioneering mix of metallic guitar, dubbed-out rhythms and shamanistic chants found its way into the bloodlines of generations on both sides of the pond. Naturally, Glaxo members later joined The Pop Group and Maximum Joy. Released on Heartbeat Records in 1980, Put Me On The Guest List is their awesome debut with propulsive recordings. "This Is Your Life" is a veritable classic, with Chapman's angst-ridden lyrics soaring low as the band rides tense, sinuous grooves. The skittish "Police State" stands toe-to-toe with the art-punk flag-bearers in the North (Gang of Four, Mekons) and in London (Wire, The Homosexuals). "Stay Awake" is a vitriolic screed as powerful as anything from the newly formed Public Image Limited. By the time England's post-punk scene was in full bloom, dominating the pop charts in the UK and college radio in the US, Glaxo Babies had unfortunately dissolved.
