CHAOTIC DISCHORD - Their Greatest Fuckin' Hits 1994

Dear friends, it's a blessing that Punkrock exists; I don't know how my life would go on otherwise. Yesterday I got the party started, and that feeling continues today with Chaotic Dischord, top-notch U.K. HardcorePunk. This silver surfer is part of the awesome Punk Collectors Series from Anagram Records and will blast thirty hits right into your living room, so loud that no beer will get warm. And when an album starts with three songs that include the word 'FUCK!' you know what to do. Crank the volume all the way up and punch your neighbor in the face if he even thinks to complain. There is detailed infos in the file; for this, I'm stealing the short version from Discogs: Allegedly formed by members of Vice Squad and their road crew in 1981, although this still remains unconfirmed by members of the band. They also recorded a one-off EP under the name Sex Aids. The line-up consisted of Ransid (vocals), Pox (guitars), Ampex (bass) and Evo (drums). A number of Bristol Punkrock faces as a way to mock the lack of quality control on Riot City Records. A copy of their first recording was sent to Simon Edwards from Riot City. That recording ended up on the Compilation Riotous Assembly, and Chaotic Dischord was signed to his label and the band's point was proved long before Edwards realised that the band he'd signed were royally taking the mickey out of him. But by that point they were shifting so many units that he kept them on anyway and released a total of five albums without them ever playing a live show. The band reformed in 2019 with original members Ransid and Ampex, was temporarily hampered by the 'rona, then have been playing international festivals and recording new material ever since.

They eventually split up in 1988 when Ransid's tool hire business took off. After continued offers from Punk festivals around the globe, Chaotic Dischord reformed to play Rebellion Festival 2020. When that obviously couldn't happen they were confirmed to play in 2021, to the same result. Fortunately Rebellion still wanted them and they played both the 2022 and the 2023 festivals. The band played its first ever gig at Exchange in Bristol in February 2022, and have since gone on to play shows all over the planet, taking in shows in Vancouver, Madrid, Berlin, Australia and Ramsgate. They also occasionally play secret gigs under their aforementioned nom de plume Sex Aids. They continue to tour, and in August 2023, launched their first physical release in thirty-five years when they brought out their Songs To Fuck Your Mental Health To limited edition maxi-single on pukey coloured 10Inch in on their own Irresponsible Punk Songs label. This collected songs from their two previously download only releases.

Hearty food that's perfect when you're confused and need a new boost.

V/A - Really Fast Vol.3 1986

With this superb Compilation, I'm finally kicking winter's ass and banishing it from my limbs, officially ushering the hot season. Anyone familiar with the impressive Really Fast series knows how sweaty the whole thing is, and those who become curious can indulge the hard flow of piranhas with short breaks in between. The fucker comes, like all the other slabs, with the usual informative artwork. 1300 copies of Volume 3 were pressed on Really Fast Records, and the content ranges from absolutely essential to absolutely essential.

KARIES - Seid Umschlungen, Millionen 2014

Started as a quartet and developed over the last few years into a different, more experimental like trio and I can't say exactly how I discovered Karies, which formed 2012 in Stuttgart, but in any case, I'm grateful for it. Their sound can probably best be described as "Coldness Made Musical." Waking up to the reality of a neoliberal world. Their stoically driving basslines, deliberate monotony, and recurring guitar riffs make these charismatic musicians a band I enjoy listening to in my desperate hell. To describe the songs as dark is almost an understatement, because they go deeper and pierce every cornerstone of your feelings like a milling machine. I think it was in 2015 or 2016 that my best friend took me to a concert on Klapperfeldstreet, a former police prison, and it was a revelation. Even though I was feeling incredibly fucking bad at the time, the loud & penetrating music was exactly what I needed. Pisse played as the opening act; I'd never heard of them, but they were absolutely fantastic, and I bought a 7Inch (thinking it would already be on the blog - wrong! - I'll rectify that sometime). Well, I bought the second and third albums, and that's it. The album 'Alice' was my farewell, and since then, Karies has been out of my sight. That's just how it goes. Nevertheless, I can highly recommend them because they create movements and don't give a damn about pigeonholes. Karies have landed a real firework with their debut and a trip to the dentist is definitely unnecessary.

V/A - Chaos En Madrid 2025

First, all re-upload requests have been completed, and now a disc that was sent to me a few months ago, unfortunately without a sender. Nevermind. The whole world knows that Spain isn't just a beautiful country where I love to be: Culture, delicious food, warm climate, interesting cities and beautiful beaches… All things worth a visit. And the underground scene is just as diverse, and this great record is a perfect example and has its focus on a very special place. The official description reads: "Tough Ain't Enough Records is proud to present, together with Potencial Hardcore & Relapso Records, the new Compilation of Madrid bands: CHAOS EN MADRID!! Following the saga of the legendary "Chaos In...", it's now Madrid's turn! And this bloody sucker features eighteen current bands, plus an extensive fanzine where you can find interviews with all of them. Released in a limited edition of 500 copies, available on black and clear red vinyl!" What more do you need to know? A fucking great record that really caught my attention & extremely worth your valuable time!

HUBBLE BUBBLE - New Promotion 7'' 1978

First, a quick update: I'll take care of the requested re-upps next week. Now heading west, and we'll meet Hubble Bubble. A true legend for a few, featuring young Plastic Bertrand on drums, formed in 1973 by Alain (vocals/guitars), Daniel (bass) and released their first eponymous album on Sinus Records in 1977. Plastic Bertrand is listed as a songwriter, singer and drummer under the name of Roger Junior. The group experienced difficulties following the death of bassist Daniel, as result of an accident while returning from a rehearsal, and the departure of Mister Bertrand. A second album, Faking, followed in 1979, and a year later the band was history. What remains are two 7Inches and albums, some of which have been re-released. This is their first single, promoting two cool fucking tracks from the debut album. Remarkable cover, I must say. Get it Baby!

OHM & THE SECRET SOURCES - Baby, Baby 7'' 1980

First 7Inch by Ohm & The Secret Sources from Toronto and had a total of six members. This nice beauty features two solid rockin' tracks where the A-side is the winner for me. I'm a bit tired from the last two days which have really worn me out, and I recommend you click on the page linked above for more interesting informations about the band.

UTANGARÐSMENN - Í Upphafi Skyldi Endinn Skoða 1981

Monday, new week, new music, cheers! Utangarðsmenn (Outsiders) was formed in 1979 and was most active in the early Eighties, becoming one of the most popular bands in the country for that period. This is their second and last album, released by Steinar, and marks the band's heyday. They were the pioneers who brought Punk to Iceland and forever changed the local music scene. Formed in Reykjavík around charismatic frontman Bubbi, who had previously worked as a migrant laborer in the fishing industry. Other founding members were brothers Mick and Danny Pollock, as well as Magnús and Rúnar. Inspired by bands like the Clash and the Stooges, they delivered a raw, politically charged sound. A legendary moment was their performance supporting the Clash in Reykjavík in 1980. They opened the door for the "New Wave" movement in Iceland. Well-known artists like Björk (with her early band Tappi Tíkarrass) were heavily influenced by them. After only two years and a few releases the band dissolved. Bubbi Morthens subsequently launched an unprecedented solo career and founded the band Egó, while the Pollock brothers continued under the name Bodies.

RODGAU MONOTONES & Gäste HOB GOBLIN, FLATSCH!, CRACKERS - Silberhochzeit Live 2003

Today's post is special due to a recent event and it is dedicated to the following fantastic person: Gerd Knebel, musician, comedian, and actor, sadly passed away in January 2026 from that damned cancer, and I was a bit shocked when I read the news. He was and will be a huge part of my life. As founding member and singer of the Hessian cult combo Flatsch!, I saw him perform live several times, and I even got to see him with Henni (when he formed the comedy and music duo Badesalz). And I can tell you, with his passing, the Hessian art scene has lost a vital part of it. How can I create a fitting memorial to him? So I came across this double CD. Firstly, because it's excellent, and secondly it also honors the late Lothar (singer of the Crackers), Jürgen (drummer of the Crackers), and Raimund (guitarist of the Monotones) and impressively demonstrates what great bands emerged in the Rhine-Main region in the early 1980s, may they all find peace! - Of course, you won't find any Punkrock here, but rather almost two and a half hours of excellent Rock with emotional and socially critical lyrics, a few in dialect. Should you ever want to visit this beautiful state, you'll discover what a fun-loving bunch we are, you know what I mean. So these recordings were made in March 2003, the Rodgau Monotones celebrated their 25th stage anniversary ("silver wedding") with two sold-out concerts in the Offenbach/Stadthalle together with their old companions Flatsch!, Hob Goblin, Crackers and 8000 fans. Enjoy the sound & the charm of the protagonists!

TERVEET KÄDET - The Horse 1985

Now an album for special occasions. We're in Finland, and anyone who knows the band knows what to expect: fast-paced Hardcore classics with minimal variation. And honestly, I don't understand a fucking word the singer is saying, which is sometimes good but also kind of annoying because the lyrics get lost in the sound. Well, personally, it doesn't bother me because the intensity and aggression are part of the genre, and if you're having trouble with your girlfriend or want to get rid of some boring visitors, put on this record and you'll be free again. Believe me, this helps! Short basics: the Tornio-based Hardcore Punx Terveet Kädet were active from 1980-2016 and this is, I think, their second album via Barabbas Records. The band's name is abbreviated as TK on the cover. Unlike the band's previous works, the lyrics are in English and this album is the last release to feature the band's original guitarist Tiimo Viik. His replacement was A. W. Yrjänä, who was only ninetten years old and was given the task of composing new songs for the band's next record. - Terveet Kädet played a few festival gigs in the summer of 2019 and a short club tour in September which they played only their Eighties material. Their latest album, Kaikki Kaikkia Vastaan, was released in 2023 and those guys are still active. Now curtain up for twenty loud heart attacks, some with a bit of a metal edge, that will drill their way into your fucking mind, I hope you don't get any long-term damages.

V/A - Raptus 1983

Raptus is a very energetic Compilation and has a big influential of the Italian HardcorePunk scene and was released via Meccano Records in four different colors, all of which are now as rare as a fly's fart. Considered as key work this beauty features demo and studio tracks. Fourteen trashy songs that sometimes pick up the pace but also slow things down a bit; for me, there isn't a dud, and most of the bands, except for two, don't have much on vinyl. Well, I guess that's why this piece of wax is so sought after by collectors. Definitely worth your precious time. A year later, the second Raptus nugget followed, which should be released in this theater in less than a year, but nothing's for sure. Enjoy the moment!
