ANATOLE FRANTZ - Scandale 7'' 1978

Last post for today and it's a bomb. Anatole Frantz from Paris shot their only record on Sonopresse in 1978 and leave us a further rare killer 45er. Nothin' about the band in the net so there is not much to say, only both songs kick ass and the production is very well. Somehow I hear a slight echohall in it which makes the sound even stronger and more energetic and the voice comes demanding crazy as well. It really sucks that so many fantastic bands made only one fuckin' piece of vinyl and today each lame pissband has the chance at least record two albums. Well, that makes us special, hahaha... I think this conclusion is worth a gin tonic or two and don't forget: smoke kills! With this in mind ✌

LUZIBÄR! - Geistig 7 EP 1982

A rare lost nugget of German punk culture and the only one from Luzibär!, founded in summer 1981 by former members of the Düsseldorf punk band "VD" in Mettmann/Rhineland. After first small gigs they released their record Geistig 7 one year later. The EP was banned because some assholes were disturbed about the lyrics. Luzibär offers in the song "Wixverbot" a Mettmanner city known village idiot, who thought he was a mod. He complained and got right, what a joke, pretty curious and for this reason so it was hard to get a copy. But Luzibär didn't gave up and toured busy. Mid '82 they got from Rough Trade Germany the offer to make an album, called 'Und Der Rest War Schweigen' (famous Hamlet quote). Unfortunately, the album was never recorded. Another four track EP called 'Wachsfiguren' was recorded but also not see the light of the world. Followed by band internal torments, although there were still many appearances, but in the summer of 1983, just two years after the founding Luzibär dissolved. And since then ruled until many years later really silence. Joost Renders and Jasper Michahelles founded with other musicians the band "Chim Chim Cheree", which later renamed in "Panic In Slumberland" but without Jasper Michahelles, he founded meantime the band "Scarlet Masque". Jan Peter Schäfermeyer stop making music and Eric Hackenberg pulled it a few years later to Hamburg, where he is musically very active and later as guitarist of "Jam Today" and "Thee Richmen". In 2002 the Berlin label RottenTotten Records released a 10'' with both 7inches and some live material in an edition of 100 copies, if anyone has this record please send me mp3s. Shortly after the release of this record drummer Jasper Michahelles died in May 2002, who also designed the cover for this compilation, at the age of 39 years on the effects of a stroke. Compilation featuring the band: H'Artcore (1981) and 8–EP Sampler (1982). Good stuff for a coldy Saturday.

VARUKERS - No Hope Of A Future 7'' 1984

Kick off the weekend with a solid 7Inch by the Varukers, a UK hardcore punk band formed in 1979 by Rat (vox), Biff (guitar), Brian (bass) and Stick (drums). They produced their most influential recordings in the early 1980s. This rare record was released via the Berlin label Pogar in several different colour sleeves and contains two superb pogo classics.

THE TYPHOONS - Telstar 7'' 1981

Surprise, Surprise, an unexpected mail came in yesterday and it's a damn rare goodie from the Wanted-List and it's the only record by the Typhoons on Bohemian Records. This is one more side-project by the Ruts from London and we all know Babylon's Burning and the Ruts were formed on 18 August 1977. The band consisted of singer Malcolm Owen, guitarist Paul Fox, bass player John "Segs" Jennings and drummer Dave Ruffy. Here move the gentlemen on Rock'n'Roll paths and recorded two excellent numbers, certainly known among you, at least the a-side. Enjoy!

THE FUCKING WORLD - Gun Policy 1990

Second album by this melodic punk band from Lempäälä/Helsinki on Twin 2 Records with eleven songs. Not the usual ramonesque sound, they have their own style and I remember exactly that this record was a bonus to an order I made and it was not a bad one. I must confess I have not heard anything else but I think one record is enough. The Fucking World exist from 1986-1991, made two records, four 7Inches and a few compilation tracks. A little bit different what I know from Finland but interesting, still in my shelf. 'Sex', 'We All Together Fall', 'Day By Day' and 'Charming Day' are classic goodies - Try it!

V/A - Where The Wild Things Are II 1998

Hallo everybody, I'm fresh again and now 2017 will be opened with an international tape compilation which was a supplement by the Sabbel Fanzine, a German Heftschä and I have the chance to get in touch with the maker personally at the end of the 90s at a gig in Mönchengladbach, when Serene Fall played there and he did an interview with the band and I was also mentioned in the zine because he ask me too and it was a great session, thanks for this! At the beginning there was always a selfmade tape with punk from all over the world within and I have two from that, later was a CD enclosed because it's easier. Here now 90 minutes of cool rare punk compiled in loving artwork and much of what I did not know at that time and maybe even today hardly anyone knows.

STRYCHNINE - Jeux Cruels 1980

So, the last one was a request by myself and I have not doubted that I was heard. The debut record by Strychine from Bordeaux on Disc'Az Records and founded by Christian (vox), Jean-Pierre (guitar), Claude (guitar), Francis (bass), Luc (drums) and they released two albums and a few 7Inches. On this album are eleven excellent rockin' mid-tempo numbers and the most famous piece, which I totally admire, is Ex.Bx which was used for the Rare Punque Francais '77-'83 (KBD # 200) compilation and there are more goodies on various comps. You can find it on wdthtc. There are two bonus cuts within and with this post 2016 will be closed and I wish you all a Happy New Year and we see us ❤

TURBOSTAAT - @ AJZ Bielefeld 20.03.2015

Turbostaat is one of my favourite German combo and their gigs are always emotional and never shit. Together with the Mönchengladbachers I visit every concert that is near Frankfurt and I like their records but what I find pity they didn't play old songs, only as encore. Well, two years ago they gave a two-day gig and played all the songs of their five records which was fantastic, I've never experienced this before and that makes Turbostaat unique and that's why I love them. The ones who saw the band live know what I'm talking about and maybe they go for a world tour.... these recordings have an amazingly good sound quality, I had dragged this from youtube and cut this in painstaking workin' apart and pushed the sound a bit higher, as you are accustomed to by me! Pics you can see on Honeymilk. So, hope you like this eighty minutes act plus the artwork and maybe I have one last for today, Cheers!

BLOATED TOADS - Happy Home EP 1980

Last day in 2016 and one more from the Wanted-List and the Bloated Toads are catchy and this four pieces are nice wave punkies, released on The End Records/Shattered Records. Amazing good 7Inch and I love this kind of wavie sound, almost powerpop and the guitar playing is simply awesome, stress-free melodies and everything blends into a sea of harmonic sounds, even the violin on track two is perfectly inserted, plus the good lyrics and the record is perfect. The Bloated Toads rule and I'm really excited. Great music !!
