THE DEFOLIANTS - Hang Ten EP 1987

Last post January and we join the States while we have fun with the new president. Is this real? Holy Shit, how long will it be until this era ends? Let us come to what is more pleasant: The Defoliants were a Chicago punk band from 1984 to 1990. They played a bunch of shows for that time, typically opening up for larger Chicago bands such as Naked Raygun. Formed in 1984 by Mather high school chums Rob Warmowski (bass & vocals) and Jeff “BBQ” Cohn (drums), adding Chuck Uchida on guitar soon after. The band were influenced by hardcore punk, surf/garage music and pop culture. They were known for a strong live show and a nerdy sense of humor, belting out a speedy hybrid of alien punk-pop mated with surfy instrumentals. This is the cool debut EP and within are two Agent Orange style surf punk instr., one good & fast, the other one slower. Next is a long, slow rock song (the only song on this record with vocals); the best song is Mass in a nice Minnesota/Hüskers/Replacements style. Their self-described finest moment was opening up for Fugazi at Dreamerz. Their music incorporated heavily from surf music, making their sound more unique than most of their contemporaries. The band released one cassette, one EP (this one on Pravda), one full length (“Grrr” via Angry Fish 1989) in five years together, making possibly forty songs.

RUSSIAN SUBMARINES - Snea Tankar EP 1983

This record is on my personal top of Swedish KBD releases and you know there's comin' a lot cool stuff from there. The Russian Submarines were from Gävle and formed by Jop Jop (drums), Micke (guitar), Frukten (guitar), Fritte (bass) and Pat-Erik Proletär (voice). The band follows a line characteristic sound of the early eighties, which involved in the '77 punk sound, the raw & dirty, heavy and spit direct in your face attitude which is necessary to fabricate ever decent tones. Snea Tankar was released in 1983 containing four songs produced by Claes Olson and distributed by Mamma Records. Available in four different colors: blue, red, green and yellow. Unfortunately, this is their only release but they featured on the rather unknown Pangkaka compilation. I guarantee 100% listening!

NO NAMES - Bullenterror EP 1981

A request from Hans and we move to Hagen and discover this German combo and get in touch with their rare & sole fuckin' record on Tonträger 58, a small label from Hagen which published only seven records, one is a very good compilation called Alles Aus Hagen (which I will post soon or is it already here?, tell me). Well No Names are there as well. This little sucker has four characteristic German punk goodies which are formative for the 80's sound, maybe a bit amateurish but still nice. OK, my computer fucks up right now so I'm not able to write more.

INJEKTION - När Kommer Jesus? EP 1985

A pretty nice rare EP came out in 1985 by this six piece from Gothenburg called Injektion which was released by LEM. Martin Nilsson (guitar & vox) joined the band after his other band Sötlimpa was finished. The last member changes was from a band called Brainless force. The band has never really stopped existing. So they had songs on the 'GBG Hardcore 81-85' and the 'Delirium Tremens Samlings' compilation which were also great. The music here is pretty powerful punk with distorted guitars and short songs and after seven minutes the noise is over. No Hardcore attacks just simply cool punkrock. A further proof of the Swedish punk rock scene which was not only from Stockholm. The band has more songs on some tape compilations. Start downloadin', enjoy and listen to this great effort.

PART TIME PUNX - Frauenhasser EP 1988

This rare record is my only one from the Part Time Punx, founded in a touch of boredom and grandeur in 1985. The first samples took place in the living rooms of their and other people's parents, but actually they almost never rehearsed. They are still and rightly the undisputed (unfortunately uncrowned) Schlagerpunk kings. In their songs are the likes for punkrock, NDW and English noise pop of the old school combined with the unmistakable trash charm of eternally puberty childrens heads. At home are the Part Time Punx in the area of Weilmünster (between Limburg and Giessen). So this third EP came out on Orgasm Records and offers three genious lo-fi gassenhauer.

STICK! - Binder Min Tid EP 1979

Last one for today and back to the late 70s and meet a quite unordinary band. Didn't really sound like other punkbands due to their unique instruments and originality in songwriting, Stick! were one of Swedens lenghtiest band with their average length of 193 centimetres. This three track EP is their debut record on Puzzel Records and it's fantastic. Here's the Sax perfect involved and gives the songs a charming undertone. I would buy it immediately, if you ask me. The last one starts with a short cool bass solo before the whole thing is becoming a real KBD cracker. Stick! has really a great sound and in 1980 they released their album Biomusik on Silence Records as Kai Martin & Stick! and the album is in my opinion much better as this 7Inch. In the 80s they released more records, played a lot of gigs and became famous, not only in Sweden. Their on many compilations and Ronny and Kai later started a band called Parade.

KREMLIN KONTINGENT- L.A.B. 7'' 1983

From the suburbs of Paris came this short-lived combo and they released theit only vinyl on Studio 1 and this three song EP is a solid street punk record. On these recordings were involved Polux (vox), Rusty (guitars) and Pascal (bass) and I would describe their sound as pretty sleek Oi! music. Not bad and they are one of those bands where I say a full length album would have been interesting, but it came differently, as so often in life. 'Svetlana', was used for the great compilation 1984: The First Sonic World War on New Wave Records and I believe they broke up the same year.

- Great Thx for this to François -

MODERN MAN - Things Could Be Better 7'' 1980

This record came out on MAM Records and is a good new wave one. Moden Man was a five piece and released four singles and one album and I have no further info about them, only that this 7Inch was produced by Midge Ure, lead singer by Ultravox and that's it. I will not write much more because I have problems with my Kaspersky, can't download updates and I have no idea why. Fuck!! I think, I must change my operating system... shit. B.t.w., the b-side is brilliant, a very beautiful melodic wave song.

BATES MEN - Für Immer 7'' + THE BATES - I See Love In Your Eyes 7'' 1985

Well, a pleasant evening is coming to an end and I'm not tired so I'm here now. Let's post this rare band and they formed 1985 in the Wiener Neustadt as Bates Men by ex-Dämmerattacke members Thomas Guth (vox & organ) and Wolfgang Leinweber (drums) who recruited Hannes Eder (bass), Dieter Nemetz (guitar) and Joe Stickler (synth). The bands debut self-released 7" Für Immer/Das Schweigen before changing their name into The Bates and both songs are classic theatrical post-punk, pretty dark and the key sound accompanied the cold atmosphere which lasts nearly ten minutes. I like the Dämmerattacke album with its subtle hint of Gothic and the desperate vocals and every time I listen to I know: everything is perishable! Uhh, that means not I hang around at cemeteries, ha ha.... No, their songs have their own authentic and unique character, which, in addition to the ability to write really cool numbers was mainly due to the highly unique and far from the pop cliche vocals, the two men behind the microphone Walter Leinweber and Michael Andersch. So the songs are still functioning admirably and there are a few bands that simply have it, but I digress...... as always, hehe...

As the Bates they released their 2nd 7" I See Love In Your Eyes/You're Better Than Me, finally released on new label Cactus Records which had been founded by friends. Musically they changed their style and move to an Alternative sound and in my opinion they lose a bit of class. The songs not bad but they are nothing special. But it's a matter of taste, right? After another 12" on RST Records, featuring a Goth Rock cover version of The Glitter Band's "Angel Face" they had to change their band name into Bates Unlimited due to a legal controversy with the German band The Bates. In 1994 the band split, Nemetz and Bechtloff forming Seven Ages. So overalI I can say both records are pretty ok and worth the download because they fuckin' rare (check eBay for silly offers). And I would note that they are not present on the cool Austrian compilations Es Chaos Is Die Botschaft and 'De Guade Oide Zeit' which is a shame but there are certainly reasons. Enough words, enjoy the music!!

SYDKRAFT - Surfway 7'' 1978

This 7inch was released by a major label called EMI (Pfftttt...) and that's amazing because searchin' the net I find nothing (Also in the Encyclopedia of Swedish Punk they are mentioned only in passing). Sydkraft were from Halmstad and they released two 7inches and one full length and here ends my info. Musically they play a decent PowerPop sound with organ and a punky background. The title track is a nice surf tune and brings the sun in your house. The flip is sung in Swedish and is for me the winner and I would choose it if I release some day a KBD compilation on WDM Records. Donations for this are welcome. Let's enjoy this rare 7'' with two awesome kicks and they belong in any decent punk household!

V/A - New Zealand EP 1987

This litte fucker came out on Out Of Order Records and five bands give themselves the honor to show the ignorant world that even in far away New Zealand Punkrock was and is present. Well, I don't wanna write more because I'm so tired of this shitty day so I leave you with this (PS: the last track is amazing) - Amen!

THE SEIZE - Dancing Like A Dervish EP 1984

Now a rare record from the Wanted-List and there's not much music in Blogland from The Seize (this is really a shame), a four piece from Reading/Berkshire and they have three 7Inches and a mini album, all via Why Not? Records released and it's fuckin' time to listen more from them because this band is simply delicious, more swingin' powerpop and I will not to say amateurish, rather somehow they give me the feeling there is no evil in the world, you know... Argh! anyway, four nice songs and maybe someone sent their 12''. The Seize can be found on Back To Front # 3 and Bloodstains Across The UK 4. Go for it...

FUZZ - Satan's Fans 7'' 1981

Never heard of this combo from Marseille and this is their only record on Les Productions Amicalement Vôtre with two hard rockin' metal fetzer. Was not on my Wanted-List and a positive little surprise in my mailbox and the first metal post in 2017. The a-side is really cool and the guitars blow me out tremendously, the tempo proper kept high and the voice nice angry & wild, a decent number, the flip is also good, a stomper which can only hardrocker play... very charming.

SEX PISTOLS - Black Leather 7'' 1980

In a few minutes the Bundesliga starts again with the top game in Leipzig and I'm in high tension. Fuckin' work is done and we come to a very very unknown band, who the fuck are the Sex Pistols?? I don't know but there are dozens of books and more more LP's/CD's that are disproportionate to their complete musical works. The music kicks me right from the beginning when I first listen to them. Can not say which song it was but they had not really much, hahaha....I'm thankful, whoever, who brought me to them and so I start my fuckin' punk life. I imagine that I was not the only one...Summary these two tracks are probably the rarest Sex Pistols tracks, only released as part of the Pistols Pack in 1980 which consisted of six singles with the most obvious Pistols tunes, similar to the Flogging A Dead Horse compilation. In fact these aren't the Sex Pistols but Paul Cook & Steve Jones after finishing the Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle-soundtrack and before forming The Professionals. Two great nuggets + a must have! And now: forza SGE!!

FLEISCH - ... Macht Süchtig EP 1989

Late in the evening we visit Horgen, a kaff in no mans land of Switzerland and meet Fleisch, a punk/hardcore four piece of the late eighties and 'Macht Süchtig is their first record on Far Out Records and it has songs singin' in French, English and German and the bandwidth of their sound goes from powerful punk into atmospheres of bellicosity, aggression and melancholy. I bought the 7Inch because of the brilliant band name on ebay for five bucks or so and when I listened to them I must say they make their thing astrein, just six pissers in ca. thirteen minutes and that is already a house mark, boom out pleasantly and the artwork with all infos within let my punk heart enjoy a drink and move me to the fast lane and lead me on the left track with frosty balls. Bloody Hell, I need my bed, tomorrow I have to work unfortunately.... Kackladen.... :(

LIK - Schizofren EP 1981

Another unknown band from Norway is this two piece called Lik and they released their only three song EP on Likvider Plater in 1981. The fast title track 'Total Krig' is a-typical punk and boasts a wry guitar solo. The other two cuts are more slower songs, but added with some cold synth-lines, almost early synth-punk. Works well together and rough produced. Overall, it is noted that in this way, the band manages to create a very sterile and gloomy apocalyptic mood. I also like that the songs are sung in Norwegian. They also had a track on the brilliant Anarki & Kaos compilation. Check them out and decide for yourselfs.

THE RIPTIDES - Sunset Strip EP 1978

We leave Europe and swim southeast and land in Brisbane. The Riptides formed in 1977 as The Grudge, with their members comprising students from the Architecture Department of the University of Queensland. In 1978 they changed their band names, firstly, The Neon Steal and then The Numbers. In September 1978, The Numbers issued a limited edition (500 copies) EP, Sunset Strip on the Able label. Three powerful songs which are probably their best, yesterday I listen to their mini album Swept Away, a live recording and was very disappointed and far far away from the sound they recorded on this record. Well, they made numerous plates and I think the band is still active.

here

V/A - Beat-Less EP 1988

The last for today and it's time for a compilation in 7Inch format and we visit our friends in the Netherlands. This beautiful piece of vinyl is the fourth release of the small label Let's Make Our Own Records and all four pieces are not available elsewhere and I don't know why this record is so cheap offered. Well, it's nothing special of course but it's not load of shit you know. Howsoever, this platte rocks and is in every way ok.

KAOS ROCK - Basta Basta 7'' 1980

Welcome in the raw, wild and psycho-o-phonic sound of this wild punk rock band from Milan. The group were formed in 1979 by Luigi Schiavone (guitar), Gianni Muciaccia (bass), Maurizio Granata (drums), Gianfranco Segatto (guitar) and Cesare Pedrotti (vocals). These restless young teenager were immediately attracted by the wind Punk Rock and also from the slums of unhealthy Lower East Side and CBGB's in New York (R.I.P.) which brings a raw and powerful sound over the ocean and they had enough from the melody and romanticism shit which was characteristic of the Italian light music. So they start Kaos Rock, a musical revolution, a real electric shock. From the capital of Lombardy the band had the opportunity to get a rehearsal room and played first gigs. Eventually the Italian label Cramps Records released their debut album WW 3 (World War 3) in 1980 with fourteen tracks. After the album two 7inches followed and shortly after its release the label unfortunately closed its doors. One of the last albums by the label was the Rock'80 compilation and Kaos Rock has two songs on it and as well on the awesome Killed By Death #201-D'Italia. In 1981 the very short and intense career of Kaos Rock ends. Killer record!

here

CLUB X - s/t EP 1983

Club X was a four piece punk band from Bielefeld and they released their only EP on Teldec Records. Probably some members have previously played in the most famous german punk band in this region, Notdurft, but I don't know for sure. Fact is this record is a brilliant one. Starts with a Rolling Stones cover 'Under My Thump', don't like the Stones but they have a few good songs and if's a band make a punk song so it will be interesting for me. The four have a nice dirty mid-tempo version conjured up here, very cool. Then, a nearly five minute long bit gloomy mood number, its about to find his own way in this life, very nice guitars - almost a ballad...but only almost. Side b offers two decent punk trashers in the typical KBD vein, nice ass-kickin'. In 2011 Überfall Records had the splendid idea to release a double CD called 'Wir Kommen Hier Wech!' and this gives a good overview what is happening in East Westphalia-Lippe aka Detmold in the early 80s. You can order this brilliant stuff on their home page (orange letters above) and I highly recommend it because it's full with tons of rare rare material. Club X made a good record and if you see a copy, get it!

here

THE BATS - Phantasmes EP 1984

Before I leave home one last rare record by The Bats, a French three piece from Nancy consisting of Kija, Le Rat and Miss BR, released via SRC. They bless us three synthpunk tunes with a guitar sound that inevitably reminds me of Alien Sex Fiend what I like very much, of course not so heavy but nice. The record is published in two different covers and I doubt that anyone of you has heard this one, me too. Don't know who sent this but that is not important, the songs are cool and Phantasmes is more than just a branch in the punk tribal tree.

here

INNOCENT BYSTANDERS & DEBUTANTES - Split 7'' 1979

Since years, this fantastic single is slumbering on my hard drive and I don't even noticed it. As you can see how confused I am sometimes but that's normahl, haha... OK, this little nugget from the Wanted-List was released by Rok Records with two rather unknown bands and more was unfortunately not recorded. The Bystanders with a solid 3:50 number and the Debutantes show again how great the sound at end of the seventies was and is and Man In The Street was rightly banned on Bloodstains Across The UK 4. Pretty powerpop stuff.

- Special Thx to trgec -

REVULSION - The Only Revolution 7'' 1991

I still have one for today: From Norwich England came Revulsion, an 80's anarcho punk band and this is their second record, 1040 copies made so the newspaper says and they broke up soon after the release of this awesome 7". Here we have two brilliant melodic punk tunes and the storm of noise and velocity is quite excellent which was all too often absent from other "Britcore" bands' efforts. Now this is what punk is all about. Social & politically conscious lyrics sung with conviction, rage, and most importantly & hope. Believe me, this record is awesome and if you like stuff in the vein of Snuff, Leatherface or Guns & Wankers then you must crap this without hesitation. I'm yet a litte bit drunk but I know what I'm talkin' about, hahaha... :))

THE ESCALATORZ - Contaminated Memories 7'' 1985

The weekend was very intensive so no time for being here but I'm back with a rare 7Inch by The Escalatorz from Berlin, one of the winners of the Senate Rock Competition in 1982. Founded 1981 by the duo H.P. Daniels and Dieter Bauer and they have been playing for a few years in the so-called folk clubs and the band was then: H.P. Daniels (vocals + guitar), Dieter (bass), Bibi (guitars) and Hans (drums) and they released two self-produced singles and a s/t 10''. They had a few line-up changes because the musicians were also active in other bands so there come temporal problems and that was not perfect. At some point, the line was filled and they recorded more records, toured extensively until finally 1991 the band comes to an end. So this 5th record has two bubbling goodies, side-a is a nice ballad whereas the flip a nice powerpop ass kickin' is.

here

MR. HYDE - Trop Belle! 7'' 1980

Start today with this rare 7inch by Mr.Hyde, a four piece combo from the city of Saint-Malo and this sucker was released on FLVM and the boys give us two rockin' mid-tempo goodies which should not be forgotten. The a-side made it to the Bloodstains Across The World compilation and another one on Rock'N'Rennes (1981). In 2015 the French label Poch Records released a record with thirteen lost nuggets in an edition of 300 copies. I guess the band has split up shortly after appearing the single. Solid stuff the weekend can start.

here

PÖBEL - Es Lebe Hoch Die Perversion EP 1981

Shortly after their founding in 1980, Pöbel developed into a highly acclaimed live band, they played masterfully with a very fast and hard sound, Viennese proletarian texts and inspire the audience with their behavior on the stage. Pöbel were Sven (Guitar/Vox), Lörkas (Bass), Andi Abschaum (Guitar) & Tschurie (Drums) and play incredibly fast aggressive punk rock. In January 1981, 200 pieces of their one & only rare EP 'Es lebe hoch die Perversion (Long Live The Perversion)' were as "Test Pressure" on the Vienna D.I.Y. label PanzaPlatte published. Three ultra-rough hardcore punk songs by one of the most uncompromising bands from the Vienna underground have been preserved here for eternity. A few months later, the band broke up.

here

DE CYLINDERS - We Must Pay 7'' 1980

Second 7Inch by De Cylinders from Amsterdam and a fuckin' great record. The band were formed 1978 and consisted of: Jolanda (vocals), Vincent (guitar), Ruud (bass), Christian (drums), Rene (guitar) and Kees (piano & organ). Their debut I Wanna Get Married was released in 1980 via CNR Records and is a powerful one, as well as this one, the a-side with a driving mid-tempo number, the flip with a melodious delicacy and Jolanda's voice and the organ are superb. 
The band separated in 1984, three years after their last single. But they reformed in 2009 and they were very successful in New York and Japan and Jeremy Thompson (SingSingRecords) re-released this 7'' the same year on vinyl and he mentioned in an interview that there is a lot of unreleased De Cylinders material in the can and in 2012 the Japanese label BASE released a compilation CD with seventeen songs, including lots of unpublished material (has anyone?). Fazit: brilliant band, cheerful music which spreads good mood.

here

Z-OFF - Første Singel 7'' 1981

Another classic Norwegian punkband is Z-Off which released their one and only Killer 7'' on Hansen Og Kompanjongers Plateforlag in 1981. May you might know them from the awesome Bloodstains Across Norway compilation (coming soon) and these two tracks here speak for themselves. Excellent '77 style punkrock, sung in native norwegian language and the boys shoot their two minutes cracker out and proving once again that it's not difficult to play punkrock with a high level. I love listen to this sound again & again. About the band I have no further infos so you have search by your own. The title 'Hurra For Norge' was used for the awesome sampler series on Svindel Records. So relax and start the fuckin' download.

here

45 GRAVE - Black Cross 7'' 1981

This is the debut 7Inch by 45 Grave, a band from Los Angeles, on Goldar Records. Founded 1979: Dinah (vocals), Rob (bass), Paul (guitar) and Don (drums). The original group broke up in 1985 but vocalist Dinah Cancer subsequently revived the band. 45 Grave are noted as one of the first bands to mix punk rock with horror-themed lyrics, thereby positioning them as progenitors of the horror punk subgenre. Their unique appearance and morbid theatricality also distinguished them as innovators of deathrock, a style of gothic rock. The first songs which I heard were the three from the very good compilation Hell Comes To Your House on Bemisbrain Records. Black Cross is a fuckin' great punk goodie while the flip is a sluggish lethargic stomper with fast breaks. Excellent guitar sound, pretty voice, damn cool stuff!

ELECTRICK GARBAGE - L'Escargot 7'' 1979

One more wild and raw punk record from France, the only one by Electrick Garbage, a four piece combo from Grenoble and both tracks rule, released on FLVM ("Faites Le Vous-Même", which means : "Do It Yourself"). Also here zero info about the band but the flip was taken for a compilation called Hard Punkers, of course unofficial and is certainly worth a listen. Peppy finish for a shitty Monday.

COUCH POTATOES - Brad EP 1992

One post today and this belongs to a 90's melodic pop-punk band from Tunbridge Wells/Kent, U.K. and this is their second EP, released by the german label Born To Booze Records. The Band has a fuckin' fat hard melodic sound with much intense energy which is rather untypical for melodic bands (Snuff, Jawbreaker, Samiam) and after the first tone the immediately, slightly melancholic atmosphere spells me and I can only turn up the volume to eleven. The Couchies made a really fantastic record with Brad and all four songs sound like a beehive in the summer. Harmonic guitar riffs humming all day long. I'm certainly become a big fan of them!

here

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.

here

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.
