STUMPF AG - Amerika 12'' 1983

So all you nerds, today is the 5th one without Äppler and I rummage in my treasure box and put out this classic record of my favorite Bremer label Heimat Records. A fantastic and rather unknown german Punk/Wave 12inch and all the covers are hand-sprayed and unique. It's told that label owner Wolfgang Stettler denies that this 12' has officially been released at all but the band got some hundred copies for which they planned to have individual covers but only made around 100 which had a cover (the rest was given away for free without sleeve at concerts). Stumpf AG came from Nuremberg and chances are low that copies of this record will find the way outside of that area. The only other recording they did was for the Nuremberg compilation Die Welt Ist Klein (falls den jemand hat würde ich mich freuen über nen Rip!). All four goodies shine with a brisk pace, great sound and critical lyrics (yeah, we love america, our army too...). Was soll ich erzählen? Scheißgeile Platte von einer sehr coolen Band aus'm Stoiberland, macht Lust auf mehr. Fuckin' rare and fuckin' good!

FINGERPRINTZ - Distinguishing Marks 1980

The 2nd full length by Fingerprintz on Virgin Records is a solid filthy fingernails scratch away album with ten goodies. Brilliant cleanings combined with cool tools, just the right sound after a long drunken night. I've never heard so far a single tone from the London boys but I'm impressed, runs well. Fingerprintz formed 1978 in London, by singer and songwriter Jimme O'Neill (guitarist by Adam & the Ants): "to give at least some authority to market the term new wave". The quartet played melodic powerpop/rock, simple but elegant arrangements. After the release of the third and latest album Beat Noir (1981) O'Neill decided to dissolve the group. In 1987, along with Burns, he founded The Silencers, which had a far greater commercial success than Fingerprinz. That's It! Enjoy!

BEAST - Empire 7'' 1980

Puhhh, back from a nice BBQ evening and I'm really through. I realize my age and I can't not go like before. Argh, fuck it! I live only once, fuck God and all those empty promises.... Today was quite stormy, like at the sea.... love this - A quick post before I lay myself to bed: Beast were british post/punk band and this 7'' was published by Thrill Records. The A-side is a solid piece of punk while the B-side is mostly lame pop. However, two tracks worth listening to. About the band itself  I have no further information. Good Night!

NEW ORDER - Never, Never Play Berlin Again 1984

Another highlight here in my blog is the bootleg record from a band which I will not say much, you all know them and love or hate their records and you can find lots of information in the Web. New Order were formed 1980 in Manchester, shortly after the suicide of Ian Curtis (Joy Division, Warsaw) they released a lot of awesome albums (my faveourite one is the first LP called 'Movement') and a lot of bad and cool bootlegs. This here is a cool one. The sound quality is quite good and the song selection too. And if you should ask about the title then you will hear that the singer and the band were not amused about the audience. I don't know what happens at the gig but the boys are really pissed and if somebody of You out there was present I would like to here what went wrong. Maybe the mixer or the sound acoustic was bad or anything else. - Well at least it's a long time ago I heard New Order albums and so it comes to this rip and it was a good idea or, hahaha... - The plate cracked a little bit but I don't think the sound goes in a trashcan (Well, that's the deal with unoffical releases). Anyway, enjoy this nice sound right now and I hope I get the whole story.

PANIK - Les Troubadours Du Chaos 12'' 1983

For those unfamiliar this legendary group, Panik was one of the first French punk groups which were founded in Paris, October 1981. The surreal voice of the singer and musicians unbridled have brought this group in the legend of French Punk. They released their first album in 1983, followed by the famous cover of Edith Piaf's "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien" which was on the awesome LP compilation called 1984: The First Sonic World War. They were very influential in the early 80's french punk scene. 7 songs with a total playing time over 30 minutes are quite unusual for a punk LP and that's not bad. Snotty guitars, driving rhythms and a powerful dirty sound: Hell Yeah!

EXPLOSION SACK - What's Joke!? EP 2000

We come now to something completely different, hahaha... Trash Punk from Japan and this is probably the bands only release. And who likes Japanese punk/hardcore you can not pass this combo. All four songs go on like a rocket and somehow they all sound the same. A chord in order to enslave them all! The boys kick off famously with their snotty punk rock style, a damn crack in the wall and a visit of your neighbors is guaranteed (you know what to do), and I'm not though in Japanese punk but this here changed my view and I must say that I like to re-learn. A brilliant EP with compromise hardness and if you a text freak who needs to sing along then you as always out of place because you don't not understand a word. Therefore in case such releases need a lyric sheet inside. So also here. Any questions?

WBT - Får Vi Vara Med...? 1980

Once again a Killer!!!! record from the Wanted-List and I'm glad I can finally hear this fantastic album. Fredrik, your the man!!!! From Linköping were WBT which literally means "Who bite Torsten" and this is their only record, released by the Swedish label Stage & Music in 1980. Twelve fuckin' cool songs and every tune kicks and rolls with no pause. Right from the start the four guys pushing the speed high and set this without exception consistently on. Driving guitars, moderate pace, nice short solos and a brilliant sound, simply sensational. Usually if I like a LP after the first listening I put it soon into a corner or lose the memory but here I think it's different. It's a long time ago since I've heard such a damn cool album where everything fits. The only deficit: with 30 minutes playing time far too short. I talk too much praise again and I let it now be, so you have to steal this record when you see a copy.

- Extra Big Thx to Fredrik -

BRUTAL VERSCHIMMELT - s/t LP 1983

One proper release on Rock-O-Rama is the only record of Brutal Verschimmelt, active from 1980-1984 the band was founded in Kempten and wrote rock history in the local scene. The quartet captivated with an incredibly rude, rough punk sound, the constant obtained mainly with the twelve songs on the self-titled debut album for posterity. In 1980, Carlo Kallen, along with school friends, founded the band Adolf Streit & Die NS Verbrecher, renamed in Psychorotz and finally Brutal Verschimmelt. First concerts took place in the Allgäu region with B.Trug. B.Trug had at that time a record deal with Rock-O-Rama from Brühl and mediated also Brutal Verschimmelt there. A demo was sent to Herbert Egoldt who took the band under contract. Egoldt invited the band in May 1983 to Cologne where they recorded their debut album in 16 hours. Egoldt himself produced the LP. A self-designed record covers with an antiwar collage was rejected by Egoldt and replaced by a skeleton warrior with mohawk who fights against a kind of monster. In the insert the lyrics of the band were not printed, presumably because Egoldt already flirted at this time with the nazi rock market. The band find out about it during the submission of their 100 free copies. Then they smeared these LPs and deposited with a supplement, in which they agreed to. Shortly after the release of their debut album, the band broke up after drummer Franz got out and the band find no substitute. Carlo Kallen later played in the Ewings, Chili Confetti and Die Üblichen. Over the years, the album became a wanted rarity. The album was launched in 1990 for a second time without the band was informed. In January 2013 re-released as a double-LP called Und Die Zukunft Ist Doch Rot on Höhnie Records which contains the album, the demo tape and a live recording of 25.February 1982. On the occasion of this re-issue three original members decided in June 2013 to go on tour for nine events in Germany. That's the story so far and now hark to this legendary sound pleasure.

8TH ROUTE ARMY - Nihilist Olympics 1985

After releasing some 7inches the East Cost Boston punks put out their debut album 1985 at 1 Dimensional Records. And I don't know why this album is quite cheap?? OK, it's certainly not a milestone in the history of US punk but it's attractive I think. The album is divided with old songs (a-side) and new stuff and full with simple 3-chord-melody-punk with singalong choruses, but partly also (especially in the new songs) beautiful, soulful tracks that can't hardly be put into any drawer. Even the punk detectives discovered them for the Killed By Death #100 compilation and 'Vice Presidente' is a superb punk track. "Nihilist Olympics works as a musical history that traces the high energy simplicity of hard core punk through more complex melodic neo-pop." (Jay Savage, The Heights, Volume LXI, Number 10, 18 April 1989). So for me this is a great record, which is a half of good punk rock, the other slower & more serious and simply brilliant original music.

THE STRIKE - Oi! Collection 2004

This is a damn cool release from a damn cool band. The Strike never recorded an album and on this collection are songs from the Split Skin's & Punks 2 with The Betrayed, three demo cuts and all their official bastards. Unbelievable that their material was released so late because The Strike were founded in the late 70's near Inverness. Their first vinyl appearance were two songs on the Strength Thru Oi! compilation, Gang Warfare and Skinhead, both fucking good. Other compilations goodies followed but for an own album has it as I said never be enough, for whatever reason. There is an informative biography inside by Fergus (singer) so I don't wanna tell you. Musically fourteen shiny Oi! smasher with heart & power!

ASEXUALS - Featuring: The Asexuals EP 1984

The Asexuals is a hardcore punk band from Beaconsfield that was a mainstay of the Montreal punk scene in the '80's before evolving into an alternative band. Their music mixed elements of hardcore as well as from more melodic punk. It was limited to a pressing of 500 copies and released on Og Music and shows a solid sound around, the Asexuals don't write songs with overwhelming catchiness, either. Pleasant pop-punk amalgam with tasty guitar riffing, with fairly quick tempos and great vocals. A successful debut of the guys from Montreal.

here

O.H.M. - Cavecore EP 1986

Cavecore records present O.H.M. (Okkulte Hule Mystikere) with four trashy hardcore punkies. Probably founded in Copenhagen and they're a pretty unknown band so I can't say nothin' about further activities. They were present on a few compilations, the well known is sure the Attack Is Now Suicide record from Double A Records. Musically bit chaotic with heavy distorted guitars, two minute songs, all in beautiful Danish, raw and obscure and not so tiring you know. Overall, a solid EP and the four know how to thrash. Cool!!!

MAGNUS UGGLA - Vittring 7'' 1978

Never heard of this man but he seems to be very popular in its home country and this 7Inch is the title track of his 4th album, a decent rock number while the B-side has a live cut which also stomping. Here's a bit info: "Magnus Uggla is a Swedish artist, composer, actor, and occasional radio host known for his satirical lyrics. Uggla was the lead singer of the hard rock band JUSO (later renamed Alexander Lucas) before going solo in the early 70's. Their influences were Black Sabbath, The Groundhogs and Alice Cooper among others. Uggla's first two glam- and art rock-inspired albums Om Bobbo Viking and Livets teater didn't sell well, the first only about 500 copies in Sweden and Livets teater even less. But his departure from glam rock with the punk and hard rock inspired gained him much popularity and the album sold about 150 000 copies. In the 1970s, several music magazines gave Magnus the name "The Swedish Ian Hunter". In 1979, he was one of the members in Magnus Uggla Band. Plastic Bertrand has recorded a French version of Magnus Uggla's song "Vittring". It's called "Rock'n'Roll je te hais" and is found on Bertrand's LP L'Album."

THE ZITS - Sick On You 7'' 1981

Released on Olympic Records this is the only record by this brilliant combo. Described on the collector-scum website as: "2-chord minimalist "punk" with keyboards. Well, I found both songs are not very minimalistic, quite the opposite. Here are two awesome KBD smasher at its finest. Oblique, raw and dirty sound plus offensive lyrics gives an excellent mix. Ergo: 1A stuff!! The Zits were from Vienna/VA whose members all went to Oakton High School and they were together for only six months in 1981. Band members were Nickey Beery, Joey Rogers, Stevie Smith and Billy Sykes. "I had an idea for a band, called Nic Beery and the Zits since I lived in Boston. I even recorded one song, the long forgotten 'Pregnant and Obese' with two friends in Maryland back in 1979, but nothing came of that incarnation. Anyway, while in Boston, two seniors did a punk rock take-off for psyche class and made up the song names, 'Sick On You' and 'Beat Your Face'. That was good enough for me." (Nic Beery) - I've been looking for this a long fuckin' time and now it's here. Enjoy!!!!

TANT STRUL - Pappas Tant 7'' 1980

Tant Strul was one of the more significant Swedish New Wave/Punk bands and were founded 1980 by Kärsti (vox), Liten (bass), Kajsa (guitar), Malena (keys), Mikael (drums) and Göran (guitar) in Stockholm. Kajsa Grytt's plays a short time in a band called Kasern 9 which later changed its name to Pink Champagne. Tant Strul made its first debut with the single Pappas Tant which contained nice two wavie goodies. Kärsti left the band after the first two singles to become a photographer, and Mikael after the first LP (1982) and replaced with Nike Markelius. After the second album Amason (1983) was Sebastian (cello/guitar) member of the group. After the 3rd record 'Jag Önskar Dig' (1984) the group split after one last gig at Roskilde Festival 1985. During autumn 2004 they reunited the band for gigs in Stockholm and once in Gothenburg, and the spring of 2005 was a third reunion in Stockholm. Since 2011 the group plays here and there a few concerts. Musically shallower New Wave Pop which wants nothing evil.

ANTIDRASH - Katastash Kindynou 1990

This band is quite awesome and their debut album is one of my favourite TOP! records, just like WBT and Anti-Band albums. And I recommend you to get this album now. Antidrash is a Hardcore/Punk band formed December 1985 in Athens, Greece. In March 1987 they released their 1st demo tape titled "Sick World" which was including 10 tracks and only 40 copies were distributed by Art Nouveau. Three months later, they released their 2nd demo tape (including 19 tracks) in 500 copies and was distributed exclusively in West Germany from the band's friends Nikos & Pavlos, who later founded Wreck-Age Records. A 3rd demo tape came out as a split with the greek punk group Stress. Their 1st official release came out in June 1989 in form from an EP called Blood In The Streets, released by Wipe Out! Records in 580 copies. This was the first ever Hardcore vinyl to be released in Greece. In Spring 1990, they entered the studio recording new songs for their first full-lenght album "Katastash Kindynou" (Danger Situation), which was released in Summer of the same year. After countless gigs, in Autumn '91, their second album Against was released. In 1996 they released their last 7" simply titled "E". In November 1998, they disbanded. After many years of absence, they reformed in 2005 and still active.

KLOPFERBANDE - Barbarei 1981

From Selters came Die Klopferbande. "Barbarism" was published in 1981 as a tape on Datenverarbeitung and certainly one of the best releases of the group. Some titles that are later appeared on „…Und Doch So Bezaubernd“ LP can also be found here already, but much rougher and more primitive versions. The New Wave Sound is still significantly influenced by punk, but they had already found their own style and is anything as a poor imitation. The lyrics describe a life in Germany in the early 80's and are rarely overtly political, but instead quite critical of society. Cinematically implemented would have to imagine as images of gray cement suburbs on cloudy, rainy fall days. Songs like "Das ist Rekord", "Karriere", "Lachen ist Gesund" or "Brauner Rhytmus" are small wave/punk hits. This awesome record was re-released in 2003 by Was Soll Das? Schallplatten and is limited to 150 copies.

RAFF - Six Balles Pour Un Colt! 1986

From Limoges/France came this Oi!/Punk band and this is their second album which was released at 77 Records. They were active from 1984 to 1986 and they released two singles and two albums. They play a good punk'n'roll sound with a decent tempo and the highlight is undoubtedly their cover version of Elvis' Love Me Tender. Otherwise much saxophone on all songs which I not always like, honestly I don't like this instrument at all and there are few songs in which it's mounted. Especially in the song 'Capitales', the weakest song on this Mini-LP, the blower gets on the nerves. Well, with a total of six songs one is shit I give at least 8 of possible 10 points. Raff are represented on those compilations: 1984 The 2nd and 77 Records Présente... - Fazit: not a bad album but with ups and downs.

FEED YOUR HEAD & AND THE 8TH SIN IS CALLED POP! - Split 1990

A lot of you request this album and it's no wonder why. Two great bands from the U.K. and Germany here. A few words to both bands: Feed Your Head are a band from the Manchester area that started around 1986. The name came from a very obvious song by Jefferson Airplane the very psychedelic 'White Rabbit'. In their life time they released three demos, two singles and two full length studio LP's. Plus featured on various compilations. F.Y.H. played live and toured with most of other punk bands in the scene at the time. The songs here are originally released on side 2 of the 'Stargazer' album which was released earlier in the U.K. & this provides the best material from that record. The 8th Sin Is Called Pop! are from Kiel and they released a split EP with Agitare Bene in 1989 and this 12'' called "Crown Of Thorns". Both bands playin' a decent melodic punk guitar which are supported by violins and this is unique here. Evey song is a race to get to the chorus, perfect harmonies mixed with a dash melancholy and done is the unusual punk rock album. This record should been seen as a triumph, Yeah, I love it!!

PROCES & STENGTE DØRER - Split EP 1985

Stengte Dører was a norwegian hardcore punk band located around the Blitz squat in Oslo and they played absolutely raging stuff in the vein of Kafka Process or So Much Hate. Proces was punk band from Subotica and were active in the mid 80's. Proces also convince with brilliant HC/Punk which is typical for this time. There are not represented on the Bloodstains Sampler, why else. Some copies came with a folded paper insert with lyrics of both bands translated in English. Cool EP!

DISCO ZOMBIES - Drums Over London 7'' 1979

I know this 7'' is already posted in many other blogs but the title track is covered by my favourite german punk band EA80 and so for me it is a must to post this pearl here again (for those of you who have not acquaintance with this brilliant band). Founded in Leichester, the band released three singles which are all terrific. This is their second, pressed on South Circular Records. Two nice numbers while the title track is clearly the better one. Get more info about them on the great Drowned In Sound site and I recommend to get the other EP's and the album which came out in 2011 with all the 7inches, unreleased stuff and live shit, maybe you found it anywhere in the web.

BELGIAN ASOCIALITY - s/t LP 1989

OK, let's end this hot Tuesday with a pretty cool hardcore album by Belgian Asociality. The group formed in Mechelen/Keerbergen in 1988 and provides a free demo first. The occupation of the group consisted of Mark Vosté (vocals), Patrick "Vlie" Van Looy (guitar), Tom Lumbeeck (bass) & Chris Raffo (drums). They sing mainly in Flemish and play short powerful songs in a style that can best be described as a basis of rumble punk which in the course of the years several influences/styles are added, such as metal, gospel and ska. "The band members are known for their uncanny sense of humor and a habit of pulling weird stunts especially during live performances. The most popular track of the album was “Belgian Asociality” named after the band itself. The lyrics were in Dutch and give the audience a clear example of the whacky nature of the band. A translated rhyme from the chorus of the song is as follows: “The Belgian Asociality, that is not a joke. We take us very serious, we are such handsome blokes. What others think of us, well never mind that and if they think we are bad, they will not say that twice” (Globerover 2010). This is their brilliant debut album, released at Punk Etc. and is full with 21 plenty heart attacks. Put it in your ear!

WARFARE - Crescendo Of Reflexions 1991

At an early hour the right soundtrack and for this we swing over to the British Island to one of my favourite metal/trash/punk band: Warfare from Newcastle, a Punk edged Metal band. Their debut Pure Filth from 1984 is fuckin' great and I listen to it several times and even today at least once a month. It's a classic and this stuff always brings good memories back. This compilation delivered through Kraze Records, recorded at Trinity Heights Studios summer '91 in Newcastle, found Evo, guitarist J.J. (actually Jeff Dunn - Mantas of Venom) and bassist Zlaughter re-working the band's best known songs from their older days. I think this was only released in the U.S.A. but I'm not sure. A good mix from their first three LP'S inside and the new recordings shred across very nice. There are many compilations that nobody needs and only released to make tons of money but this little CD is different and I think for new fans an excellent overview to shed light closer on this band. By the way, cool cover.

ALLER VÆRSTE! - T.A.V.! EP 1980

Here's a record how I love it: oblique, extraordinary beats, funny and hard to classify. I would describe the sound as punk but different, not 1-2-3-4 let's go hey ho, rather friggelig you know and I'm really excited. The Aller Værste! (The Worst!) exists from 1979–1981 and were formed in Bergen, members are Sverre (bass/organ/vocals), Lasse (guitar/organ/vocals), Chris (guitar/organ/vocals), Harald (bass/organ/vocals) and Ketil (drums) which started out as a hobby project by four members of long-forgotten group Johnny Banan Band. They are influenced and inspired by punk, new wave, ska and reggae and released two albums and three 7inches. Several of their releases are considered classics in Norwegian rock. They received a Spellemannprisen (a Norwegian music award presented to Norwegian musicians) in 1980, for the album Materialtretthet. Their two first singles are played at the influential BBC, by program manager John Peel. The group disbanded after their second LP Disniland I De Tusen Hjem. They had a reunion tour in 1990 and concerts in Bergen and Oslo in 1999. So this is their second EP on Den Gode Hensikt with four goodies.

PEKINŠKA PATKA - Strah Od Monotonije 1981

After their great debut Plitka Poezija from 1980 Pekinška Patka released their 2nd and last album again on Jugoton Records and they changed their sound complete into a more alternative/wave (darkwave) sound. This makes the album more interesting I think and the distinctive voice of the singer is made for it. I can imagine that some will be disappointed but the change of the sound is not done badly, my hit is clearly 'Monotonija', wavige keys meets a driving bass playing, the baritone voice and the monotone rhythm kicks the song to Joy Division feelings and after that comes with 'Neko' a groovy punk firecracker like from the old times...the LP is rounded off with a beautiful ballad. A real good album I think - Listen!!! So now I have to go for a cold shower!

TON STEINE SCHERBEN - Warum Geht Es Mir So Dreckig? 1971

One of the first and most influential German language rock bands of the 1970s and early 1980s are Ton Steine Scherben and without them Punk in Germany would certainly been different. Well known for the highly political and emotional lyrics of vocalist Rio Reiser, they became a musical mouthpiece of new left movements, such as the squatting movement, during that time in Germany and their hometown of West Berlin in particular. Today, after the band's demise in 1985, and the death of Rio Reiser in 1996, Ton Steine Scherben have retained a cult following and popularity in the related scenes. Recently, some of the remaining members have given reunion concerts under the name "Scherben". Warum geht es mir so dreckig? (Why am I so miserable?) is the debut album by the band, released on David Volksmund. It includes - among other pieces - the song Macht kaputt, Was Euch Kaputt Macht (Destroy What Is Destroying You), which expressed the built-up anger and radicalization of the youth of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1971, after the release of the first single "Macht kaputt....", the band went to Klaus Freudigmann's studio in Berlin to record their first album. The setup for the recordings was not ideal, and the sound quality suffered as a result. This is not surprising, as all the band's output was self-produced. As such, the recording sessions were also not entirely satisfactory. In June, Agit 883 and Rote Hilfe (anarchist and leftist political organisations respectively) organised an "informational event" about the empty buildings on the Mariannenplatz in Kreuzberg. Ton Steine Scherben were invited to play, and the teach-in turned into a party which led to one of the first spontaneous squatting actions in Berlin. The recordings of the concert were used for the album's first side; the b-side consists of highlights of the studio recordings. The album's sound has been described as raw and energetic, but the sound quality is somewhat lacking. A great album full of intensity & passion which leaves a distinct mark. Bung-Ho!!!!

SVÄTSOX - Ruins 1982

Ruins was released in 1982 on Platen Records. Dolf Planteydt took a subscription behind the recording console and Svätsox, like their buddies Wormer, learns quickly and well. The bass took the tape, the sound becomes thick and composed of the scale. Ferrie (or ferry, it's the same) added a trumpet to his array of two pieces, giving his hymns punk tunes that will surely Dog Faced Hermans heard. A fourth member (Roon) was also added in the credits, giving a helping hand for Heyne singing and taking care of the organ parts of it discreet! Angular bass line, noise, playing guitar scratching, sublayer noisy, it's Aural Guerilla early. Slight reverb on the drums as it was common at the time but without creating the typical new-wave sound. Ruins is a great album. Titles surly, threatening, exploded as the grandiose Hitsquad, guitar and echo on voltage, the long climb controlled by The Cartridge box. Punk binary is completed on the roadside and we take the full brunt of a truck noise-punk avant-garde enough when you look back. The band split up in 1986.

ZOUNDS - Demystification 7'' 1981

Nothin' new in Blogland but a fuckin' classic and the reason for me is simple. Zounds is the sound We both love and I think this is the band that We heard the most, at home, in the car, on vacation... and now She is near to me and I'm feeling not alone. It's still hot here and somehow I have to keep going with all this shit everyday... but folks, a new star appeared in the sky and I'm feeling great. - Two goodies here and this little nice record was released via Rough Trade and I think, it's their 2nd 7inch and they still active. If you want more then use the search option top left.

WOMBELS - Divine Madness 1992

Another band which I appreciate are the Wombels from Ulm. The name refers to a popular animated series in the late 70's early 80's. You might think this was funpunk, for some it is this but they all wrong and have really no feeling for the melodic & hard sound of the Wombels, they remind me rather of the early UK scene. Their debut album "Fast & Bouncy" confirms this but sadly are only 73 copies been pressed because the band was not convince of the sound so it become one of the rarest german punk record. When someone has a copy please drop me a line. Visit Wombels for more input and enjoy their fantastic sound.
