Northern Ireland's underground music is not only populated with good punk bands, foremost known primarily for excellent powerpop stuff and this Bloodstains compilation proves this clearly with seventeen varied melodic goodies. As on Volume 1 a first-rate picking and this record was hard to get, believe me, and kicks the gray November Saturday full in the ass, I hate such days (must be in the sun....immediately). Anyway, enjoy the weekend and start with this sound!
1.All I Wanna Do (Is Rock'n Roll) - PROTEX
2.Don't Tell The Detectives - THE ZIPPS
3.Set Me Free - TINOPENERS
4.The Pressure's On - RUDI
5.Big Check Shirts - SHOCK TREATMENT
6.Bloody Bouncers - CONTROL ZONE
7.Numbers - STAGE B
8.Mental Cases - ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCES
9.Contrast Disorder - THE DOUBT
10.Light At Your Window - DETONATORS
11.I'm Sorry - TEARJERKERS
12.Just Friends - DOGMATIC ELEMENT
13.Johnny Johnny - CONTROL ZONE
14.Young Rebel - FAMILY OF NOISE
15.I Need You - VICTIM
16.Teenage Love Song - P45
17.I Can Help - THE PEASANTS
indeed a rare record - thanks!
