V/A - Earth Rapers & Hell Raisers 2x7'' 1989

We stay fast and loud and come to this double 7inch on Hippycore Records with mostly American bands that are rather unknown to me (except Samiam whose song is almost out of place I think) but somehow and where all of them made a 7inch or even a record. It's a Benefit release for Phoenix Earth First!, I can't say exactly what it is or was but it doesn't matter, the song selection is consistently cool and sharp. A healthy mix I would say, Hardcore with a bit of metal influence and solid like a good friend who won't let you down, a second release followed in the same year on green vinyl with different colored coverThat was the weekend on wdthtc and let's see what's coming up next week, apart from a dentist appointment at 7:00 in the morning, I'm already looking forward to that....

1.Technology (The Evil) - SINS OF THE FLESH
2.Intellectual Hypocrites - BENT!
3.Nuclear Delicacies - JESTERS OF CHAOS
4.Graveyard At Sea - PISSED HAPPY CHILDREN
5.Hold My Breath - REALITY CONTROL
6.Gender Slavery - CONSPIRACY OF EQUALS
7.Blind Man's Holiday - MACHINE
8.Insightful - SAMIAM
9.Fuck, Kill, Destroy - PLEASANT VALLEY CHILDREN
10.Kenny's Song - POLLUTION CIRCUS
11.Earth First! - SEEIN' RED
12.Christian Crack Diary - CHRIST ON A CRUTCH


7 SECONDS - Committed For Life EP 1983

I guess I don't have to tell everyone who the 7 Seconds are. They've released a lot of vinyl, and anyone who likes straightforward, fast Hardcore definitely couldn't ignore this band from Reno. This is their second EP on Squirtdown Records with seven blasts. A review by MMR describes the package in a few words: Another superb 7 Seconds release. This new EP highlights all of their traditional qualities - raging thrash music, great tunes, intelligent and inspirational lyrics (more personally-oriented this time around) - and adds more guitar power, some new musical twists, and improved production. There’s a very noticeable Minor Threat influence in the vocal phrasing, but this is still Skeeno hardcore at its finest. (Jeff Bale, MRR #7 • July/August 1983) I can't add anything to that, except one thing: if you need to clear your head or if some shit is bothering you, put this record on and your mood will improve immensely. And now I'll see what the day brings, the sun is shining and I need some fresh air.

UGLY SHADOWS - Demo 2014

These are the first three demo tracks by this underrated female fronted anarcho dark Post-Punkers Ugly Shadows from Istanbul and it's a real pity that they only lasted three years. Well, I think it's not easy to reach many people or labels when you have to scrape together every fucking penny yourself to even release a piece of vinyl. So digital files are okay for that but doesn’t feel the same I think. Well, before such interesting bands are forgotten, it is necessary to introduce them in blogs and do a bit of advertising. In case of Ugly Shadows it is unfortunately too late since they no longer existed but take a look and discover something new, you can also find their s/t EP in this theater. One thing is certain: you'll have three cool songs to listen to, and I'll now say goodbye and focus on the Bundesliga, it's finally starting today!


MAGIC SPLATTERS - s/t EP 1994

Oh shame on me for not posting about this brilliant band from Frankfurt/Main yet, eieieieieieieiei. The Magic Splatters were active in the Nineties and consisted of Sven (vocals/sax), Ralvieh (guitars), Eaglebauer (bass) and Oskar (drums). They made three 7Inches and one album, and by the end of the same decade, the band had disbanded. I've seen them live a few times, but for the life of me, I can't remember but that's entirely due to my poor memory. They made an excellent sound of the eternal '77 Punkrock, and back then, they built a real fan base in the Rhine-Main area as a party band. I've read their name on numerous flyers that time and if you hear their music, you'll know why. Lyrically, as befits a band from Frankfurt, it's clear and straight into your face without any confusion, that's why I love this city so much and enjoy living at this fucking place. Do yourself a favor and listen to the foursome while enjoying a cold beer. Cheers!

SLOBOBANS UNDERGÅNG - Ett Annat Liv 7'' 2023

Friends, the last few days and weeks have been extremely exhausting, and on top of that, I had a really terrible summer flu. At times, I didn't know what to think, and my emotions were just as up and down. And you wouldn't believe how much weight I've lost; I almost look like a Zombie, but important decisions and changes take their toll, and I'm really glad I can leave this country for ten days soon. Today I feel able to be active here again and a 'new' 7inch from Gothenburg's Slobobans Undergång will delight you. The band is on the road since the late Seventies and released a couple of excellent 7Inches plus a split album with Rövarna in the 1980s. There are two powerful songs to hear and the guys still sound refreshing and carefree. Some bands can still write good songs after many years and therefore remain important.

THE DARVOCETS - Do The Crop Circle EP 1996

We're continuing with a bit of not-too-serious music, and the theme here is the extraterrestrial and our veiled world, I'd say. But let me first say thx for all your kind comments on the previous sampler. It's not just only for me, but for you too, and I hope it helps and lets you move on. I've made my decision and I feel soooooo fucking good. Now to the post. From the Cleveland area came this quartet called the Darvocets and the band consisted of Larry (vocals), Paul (guitar), Chris (bass), Bobby (drums) and I have to say their first EP (Non-Commercial Records) is fucking cool. Damn, just got the message Circle Jerks playing tonight, I have to go.

V/A - Happy Birthday, You Sweet Liar! 2025

I guess every one of you, dear followers, has experienced this. You think you know someone well, a lover, a friend, or some other confidant, and then one day everything changes. You are lied to for no reason by this person. And you clearly know it's a lie. Of course, this hurts immensely, and you ask yourself what the reason was? Self-protection, fear of consequences/conflicts, or social conformity/reputation in society? Or do people lie to get rid of someone, to throw away baggage... I don't know. In any case, you are left with ambivalence and have to make a decision whether you want to tolerate this person in your environment any longer or not even look at them again. They always say everyone deserves a second chance, but if you feel like you're being treated disrespectfully and the other person doesn't care at all, well, I'm for a cut, and a breakup is the logical consequence. There are certainly many views, thoughts, and opinions on this, so I came up with the idea of channeling my anger and dismay into music, and this Compilation is meant to help, or at least for the time being. Of course, you can always fall flat on your face, nothing is guaranteed, but when you're 100% being screwed, there's only one option left and I'm tired of crying after such ignorant people. Especially when they say of themselves, "I hate liars". - You see, they have no self-respect, they deceiving their selfs. Anyway, I'll think twice about who I'll give the next bouquet of roses.
Take Care!

TURBONEGRO - Vaya Con Satan EP 1991

One of the early, rough singles by Turbonegro, released via Sympathy For The Record Industry, first issued on black vinyl, as well as several colors of marbled vinyl. Later issued on black vinyl with different labels. "Life is a sexually transmitted disease, for which the only known vaccine is death" says a vocoded voice as an intro to this three-track scathing track. Vaya Con Satan is one of the band's first EPs, released before the first album, a true organ of resistance throughout the Nineties, distilling music that many considered retro, especially compared to other underground American labels... Turbonegro, already on this single, only makes Rock'N'Roll. Soaked, made up, certainly, without forgetting the hormone injections stamped Bad Brains. It's wild, freshly uncapped and it's loud, even queer, the drums resonate as if they were recorded in the cold room of a semi-trailer going 200 on the highway... Turbonegro seems to be taking over from Motörhead so much that you wonder why they didn't call themselves Turbonëgro. Without having invented the thimble, they remain a sure bet when it comes to getting hairy guys, keupons and hardcore fans to agree on the same bad vibe.

EYES - TAQN 7'' 1979

Eyes is a Los Angeles based combo, known for their early 1970s/80s sound, featuring members like Joe (vocals/guitar), Jimmy (bass), Joe (drums) and David (organ). They released two singles and tracks on Compilations, notably on Dangerhouse Records, and had a 10" EP released in 2009 featuring both previously released and unreleased material. The band also reunited for performances a couple of times. Joe, the leader of the Eyes, was a cerebral master of the unexpected lyric in front of the musical conventions of Punkrock. His musical concept fit into the Wire keep-'em-coming-too-fast-to-know groove, and the lyrics he wrote with John Richey were way over most people's heads. This two catchy Pop-Punk hymns with an incessant bleeping and blooping organ is a highly regarded piece of early L.A. Punk and is generally well received by critics and fans, including myself. The four are present on numerous Compis, so keep your eyes open.

EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN - Haus Der Lüge 1989

Now here's a record that I've always enjoyed listening to and that somehow fits my mood perfectly, and also a visual and acoustic experience live as well. I still remember the first time I put the record on: "Are they going to be commercial now?" I thought, and I immediately had to play it again. And I forgot all the noises and drills and realized that the band had developed further and for better. Well, and therefore it might be a good entry for newcomers, you decide... Info: Haus Der Lüge (House Of Lies) is the fifth full-length by Einstürzende Neubauten and is the final one of Eighties, found the group wrapping up that decade on a high note; while the eight songs barely lasts over half an hour, it's designed for maximum impact, and that it creates. Probably the classic epitome of industrial! The eventual acceptance of the unconventional, Neubauten-typical fusion of sound, rhythm, and words. The seasoned five-person lineup clatters and bangs away with fire, though the focus is more on straightforward industrial-tinged rock, as opposed to full-on industrial banging and relentless sonic experimentation. The almost eerie, subtly morbid momentum and importance, which are based on the unprecedented cult status of the band, make this record one of the most important of its era and definitely the most important of its genre! A beautiful EN record that has it all: powerful beats, poetic lyrics, ballads, and authentic excursions.
