THE BOMB PARTY - Life's A Bitch EP 1985

Quite a slaughter I would call the three songs of the English Bomb Party from Leicester which are on their third EP on Abstract Records. The unholy alliance was founded in the early 80s and consisted of Jesus (vocals), Mark (guitars), Sarah (bass), Steve (drums) and they took the name from a novel by Graham Green and so the band was born. They released in their lifespan a few 7Inches and four albums. On the back stand "Recorded Live @ The Triangle/Birmingham" but I'm not sure if that's true. Actually, it doesn't matter, a slab with this truly incontestable title is interesting. In the end of 1989 they played a 13 date tour of England, plus a mini-tour of Germany, before performing what turned out to be their last ever gig, at the Mean Fiddler's Powerhaus in London, on the 17th December. The following year they released their fourth album, Nativity #3, recorded in Germany without Sarah, who had other commitments. This was to be their last recording, and the band effectively ceased to exist on it's completion (taken from a press release in 1989). Bonny record!

THE CHOPS - Disgrace EP 1982

Dutch punk on the one hand aggressive and violent and experimental and minimal on the other. These five gentlemen combine both on their only record on Welvaartsstaat Records: The Chops were formed 1979 by Eddy (vocals), Chris & Kees (guitars), Johan (bass), Rob (drums) under the name but really started at the beginning of the 80’s when some members of CVC decided to start an other band. Eventually lost their second guitar player and did some gigs with only one guitarplayer. Speedy went to the Boegies, Chris began concentrating on his studies, Kees went to play in The Slow Ones and brothers Vergonet started a Fishrestaurant in their old rehearsalroom. They could also be found on compilations, for example on the famous Punk Live In Brouwershoeck and two others. Enjoy this lost KBD nugget to the fullest.

ANTI-SYSTEM - A Look At Life 12'' 1986

Fine music to start the gray Wednesday and again, over the channel where we meet Anti-System, a "British anarcho punk band which were formed in Bradford 1981 with a line-up of Phil (drums), George (bass), Nogsy (vocals) and Dom Watts (guitar) the band recorded a demo whose tracks found their way onto Punk Dead-Nah Mate, The Smell Is Jus Summink In Yer Underpants Innita, a Pax Records compilation. Their debut release was the five-track Defence Of The Realm EP issued in 1983, which was followed (on Reconciliation Records after the closure of Pax Records) with the No Laughing Matter album in 1985 and the A Look At Life 12'' in 1986. Like some other anarcho-punk bands of the time the band were promoters of animal rights causes, their debut EP being a benefit for animal welfare groups and prior to the recording of the A Look At Life there was a necessity for a new line-up as two of the original members had been imprisoned for various animal rights actions. Mark Keane and Michael Teale were imprisoned in 1986, shortly after recording. The band reformed in 2014." Five dynamic fetzer on a high level, clean production and "In My Eyes" is a blast.

DONKEES - Listen To Your Radio 7'' 1981

Now we come to a nice powerpop single from the Donkeys, a four piece from Wakefield, West Yorkshire that consisted of Neil (vocals/lead guitar), Tony (rhythm guitar), Dave (bass), Mark (drums) and they debuted in June 1979 with the What I Want 7'', initially released independently before being picked up by Deram - an indie-to-major process that was subsequently repeated with Don't Go, which resulted in a deal with MCA. I think, I posted their other famous singles in my deceased blog anno XXXX but since these cannot be found, so comes their last single now. They released five singles during the period 1979 to 1981. In 2004 a retrospective double album, Television Anarchy was issued, by Detour Records with all their recordings, plus alternative versions and previously unreleased material.... is worth buying.

Impressions XVI

A few small impressions of the past six months that I had to capture.

- - - - - -

STATE OF EMERGENCY - Men Of Action EP 1983

Back to dirty catchy and unpopular music and I open the new working week with a rare slab by State Of Emergency, a four piece from Peterlee and the band consisted of Alan (vocals), Alan (guitars), Ian (bass), John (drums) and this their only release on Peterlee Musicians' Collective with three nice mid-tempo smasher. The four are also rarely represented on compilations and even the detectives didn't discover them. There is not much to report, I guess after the release the band broke up, pleasant stuff!

SAGA - s/t LP 1978

Delicious debut by Saga from Oakville, Ontario and I played the eight song slab a lot back then. The album was a modest success in Canada, it would eventually sell over 30.000 copies in Germany as an import. It also became a major seller in Puerto Rico, after a local stereo equipment store featured the guitar-keyboard duet of the band's single, Humble Stance as part of its radio advertisements. Two other songs, How Long and Perfectionist (a song about a psychopath, Ellery Sneed, who secretly poisons the attendants to a feast he has organized), also became local favourites. My favorite is definitely Ice Nice which begins calmly and softly and ends in a keyboard solo with a subsequent tempo, damn good. In 1982 I saw them in the Festhalle/Frankfurt and stood delighted in the sweating crowd who were just as enthusiastic. After the fifth album Saga became uninteresting, lame commercial mindless lapping music came on vinyl, so remain five great moment plus a live (In Transit) record.

DIRE STRAITS - Love Over Gold 1982

Don't worry, the blog doesn't mutate into a pop archive, but good music needs to be heard and it usually doesn't run on the radio. This includes the London Gents Dire Straits, formed 1977 by Mark Knopfler (vocals/lead guitar), David Knopfler (rhythm guitar/vocals), John Illsley (bass/vocals) and Pick Withers (drums), they were active from 1977 to 1988 and again from 1991 to 1995 and this is their fourth album. Their music draws from various influences including jazz, folk, and country, and blues. Their stripped-down sound contrasted with punk and demonstrated a roots rock influence that emerged from pub rock. There were several changes in personnel, with Mark and Illsley being the only consistent members. On this record are five superb nuggets that didn't take long to tie me up and it's always a pleasure to listen to the extraordinary musicians with their brilliant performance and yesterday was just such a musical day with finest sharp and fiery English rock classics. I'm tired again, but let's see what goes today.

TEARS FOR FEARS - The Hurting 1983

Back to wavie pop of the early eighties and a band that really impressed me was the duo Tears For Fears; formed 1981 in Bath by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. The band achieved their first taste of success with their third single, Mad World (a timeless classic that I still love listening), which reached #3 in the U.K. in November 1982. The debut was then released in March 1983 and for this and the next keyboardist and composer Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias were considered full band members, though Smith and Orzabal were still essentially the frontmen and public faces of the band. They released six albums so far and they're still want to rule the world with very beautiful songs.

THE KRIXHJÄLTERS - Guineapig Assasinator 1986

The Krixhjälters, later Omnitron, was formed in Stockholm in 1982 by Rasmus Ekman (guitar, vocals), Pontus Lindqvist (bass, vocals) and Stefan Gorini (drums, vocals), inspired by the American bands Black Flag and Dead Kennedys. The band name was created partly as a parody of the construction of certain dance band names. The band's debut album was recorded in 1984 but first released in 1986, on the record label Rosa Honung. Already in 1985, however, the songs Magic Mushrooms and The Guardian Of Society were released on the compilation Really Fast Vol.2 with current Swedish punk bands. During a period of the mid-1980s, the band were more or less inactive. Pontus Lindqvist and Pelle Ström then joined the band Aggressiv, where Pontus sang and Pelle played guitar. Shortly after the first MLP was recorded, in 1985, guitarist Pelle Ström also started in the band, Gorini quit, and Stefan Kälfors replaced drums. The group signed a contract with CBR Records and recorded another Mini-LP, Hjälter Skelter (1988). At Krixhjälter's early recordings, some songs are sung in Swedish, but from Hjälter Skelter and onwards all texts are performed in English. The full-length album Evilution was released in 1989 and the band also had the opportunity to record the Christmas single A Krixmas Carol (1989) under the original name. This record consists of a common song on one side and on the other side in front of the band members, their song, with text and music written by each, in exactly one minute each. In 1989 the band was also represented with the song He Speaks on the collection album The Swedish Stand, published by Sinderella.

THE ARGUMENTATIVE BASTARDS - s/t 12'' 1989

A fine record is now waiting and I quote a little info from the essential upthepunks site, the source for music/bands from down under: TAB began playing in 1988 with a set of originals and smattering of Black Sabbath and Agnostic Front covers. Guitarist Simon Gotlieb (previously of After Shock and Compos Mentis) was originally on vocals before Aaron Watson joined, with this early version also including Hamish Laing on rhythm guitar. The band played fairly regularly in Wellington’s late 1980s’ scene with gigs alongside other local acts Flesh D-Vice, Microwave Babies, The Sub-Dominants and a young metal act out of Wellington High School called Shihad. In early July of 1989 TAB went into Writhe Studios and recorded the seven songs for their sole-release 12'', the sound is a meld of punk/metal/hardcore/reggae with TAB veering across a number of musical lines and ending in a punked up version of John Denver’s: (Take Me Home) Country Roads. The record starts with Brave New Soldiers a song credited to Kevin Kermack who played with Simon and J.P de Raad in early 1980’s thrash-punk outfit Aftershock. The next two tracks, Kill The Dogs and Fred are 80s metal riffs within a punk framework, with 3rd track Fred breaking down into a slow-tempo reggae beat half-way through before jumping back into thrash tempo. The B-sides three original tracks takes a leaf out of Bad Brains with Video Nasty and Used Prophylactics showing Watson’s strong vocals can throw out a halfway decent H.R. yelp, while third track Sniffin is a slow tempo reggae/ punk song based on seeing kids glue sniffing in Porirua. The Argumentative Bastards EP was released at The Carpark off Willis Street on June 21, 1990 with 500 vinyl copies pressed on New Plymouth label Ima Hitt. The gig was videoed and there were plans for some form of video release with interviews, three new songs and footage of people smashing cans of beer on their heads. A second EP, Ganja and Chocolate Fish, was also recorded but not released before the band split up, and now languishes on tape somewhere in the Hutt Valley. In June 1991, TAB played at New Plymouth’s notorious Mushroom Ball where vocalist Aaron ensured one of TAB’s last gigs was seared into the psilocybin plastered minds of those in attendance by igniting his pubic hair on stage.

KANGRENA - Estoc De Pus 1984

First, good news: the Domestic Bliss 7'' is complete... well well!! Now music extreme by Kangrena from Barcelona. The quartet was formed in 1981 and consisted of Quoque (vocals), Kike (guitars), Johnny (bass), Manolo (drums), after releasing the legendary Terrorismo Sonoro EP and two cassettes recorded between 1983 and 1985, their activity was diluted in the second half of the 1980s. They were characterized not only by their love of noise and disorder on the musical level - already expressed in the title of their only album - but for the nihilistic mentality and destroy, which, in the middle of the decade, placed them a little on the margin of the hardcore scene of Barcelona, which generally tended to the anarcopunk activist and positive ideology. This is the re-release on B-Core Disc with twenty-two raw & blunt hardcore attacks.

MISANTHROPIC CHARITY - My Friend EP 2017

I'm very busy converting music so that I only can find now muse for the blog, but it's worth the wait: 350 copies exist from this EP with three songs which were recorded at MediaSound Studios in spring 1987 and released via No Plan Records. Misanthropic Charity were Danish punx from Copenhagen and formed by ex-members of Electric Deads & Enola Gay and consisted of Bibi (vocals), Anderz (guitar), Lars (bass), Michael (drums). They play melodic, powerful and intense music and weren't active for too long, they released one album and a demo, which is featured on this EP here. Now breakfast and sehen was noch geht!

DIE CONDITORS - s/t LP 1982

The Conditors was founded 1980 in Dortmund and first they initially texted in English, but soon switched to German. Peter Freiberg had already sung and played the drums with the folk rock band Cochise, the other band members had released the LP "Another Sunday Morning" (1979) with the band "Messalla". In 1982 their first LP was released, which offered solid Rock/New Wave with humorous German lyrics (New Wave in the direction of The Police, so influenced by reggae and punk). The music express wrote: “The Conditors please because of their, let's call it anarcho-touches. Sure, the boys haven't come up with any topics that can be attested to as having never been roasted on records. Nevertheless: Singer and lyricist Peter Freiberg has quite convincingly managed to make his points of view clear and personal!”. In 1982 and 1983 they went on a concert tour through Germany and Switzerland. Peter Jureit switched to rough cutting and was replaced by Philipp Imdahl. With the single "Aba Sia Maria" they had their first radio success. The Conditors soon became one of the more well-known bands from the Ruhr area, along with vulture dive. In 1984 they released their second LP Dankeschön Bitteschön and the WDR showed a 30-minute film about the Conditors: how to play upwards and the single "Kalt Wie Eis" often played on the radio. A hit followed with the single raspberry ice cream in hot tea, with which they appeared twice in the ZDF charts. In 1985 the group changed its name to Freiberg & The Conditors, in 1986 the third and last album "Pass Auf"was released. 1989 followed the compilation "Am Andren Ende Der Stadt 80-88". Peter Freiberg and Peter Jureit have been playing in the band The Buh since 2010. In honor of guitarist Uli Steinert, who died in 2010, several former band members gave a concert with the bands "Messalla" and "The Buh" on September 10, 2011 in Dortmund and only songs were played written by Steinert.

CODIGO NEUROTICO - Humillación, Tortura Y Muerte 1991

Back to roots with finest catch mid-tempo punk by Codigo Neurotico from Terrassa with their second vinyl on Illa Records with fourteen loud short eruptions and a year earlier they made a cute little live tape on Estopi Records which was recorded summer 1988 in Bellvitge/Barcelona called Sin Pelos En La Lengua, within the file (uncut). Their first EP is also worth the download and you can find more information in the web. In 1998 the band broke up. And now into the weekend...

AXODRY - Save Me 12'' 1986

A relic of my short electronic time in the early 80s is the following slab by Axodry, one of the well known names when it comes to electropop Made In Germany and were one of the main forces in the German electropop scene based at the legendary Westside label located in Frankfurt, mostly produced by famous mastermind Axel Henninger (Camouflage, Moskwa TV, De/Vision and more). They published six beautiful Maxi's in their lifespan and were a popular band in the relevant clubs at the time and I like to pull out one of their records every now and then, depending on the mood. Surrender was a classic and is still a top song. Certainly not everyone's taste but I like it.

here

MARGINAL MAN - Double Image 1985

Second vinyl from Marginal Man on Enigma/Gasatanka Records and they continue where Identity ends. Eleven powerful mid-tempo blasts with brilliant lyrics in thirty minutes (that is almost too short). A successful review for you: "Blazing, roaring, and not sparing women and children. A tremendous, exhausting punk/post-punk record for anyone who thinks they can stand it. Blessed with considerable finesse to match their monstrous chops, these guys were pure songwriters and heirs to the amazing D.C. scene. More importantly, Double Image remains a prime example of the fantastic second-phase D.C. punk scene, actually greatly superior to the more famous but too fast early-'80s Capital hardcore days." Source: All Music Guide (Jack Rabid) - Gladly on numerous compilations invited. A great record with fury energy!

V/A - Happy Birthday Hans-Joachim! 2013

Today a further special compilation which I made for my Pa on his seventieth birthday seven years ago. Thirty-five rare Rock'n'Roller are gathered here and I can tell you, it was not easy to meet his taste because he had an extensive collection of first class stuff with recordings that were not published anywhere, that he recorded from the radio or from other sources and I also wanted to find songs like that. I think, I come very close to this with this compilation and he was thrilled and we had a good time with the CD. So enjoy the sound of the early wild days and may you dance wherever you are!

SEPTIC DEATH - Gore Story 1992

An unofficial release by Lost and Found Records in 1992, 1000 copies pressed on four different colors (blue, red, yellow & green), with great recordings by my favourite Hardcore combo from Boise/Idaho Septic Death. Twenty-nine rare extreme killer for your deaf ears wait for you I advise you to screw loose things tight. Especially the first nine tracks from their last concert @ the Farm, San Francisco in June 1986 blow everything away, plus the rare rehearsals recordings as well. What more can I say?, I'm absolutely excited by this fantastic music. My recommendation: get the double LP Crossed Out Twice and burn your house down! And if someone has the EP from the Wanted List, please send it to me immediately - A fuckin' must!

IHMESPATZEN - Haste Musi, Haste Töne 1982

Last record for today with rare material from Lower Saxony with the Ihmespatzen from Hanover and they played a healthy mix of New Wave/Punk and were never an NDW band. Their first sign of life was this mini album on Spargel Schallplatten (500 copies) with eight catchy numbers. In the same year they released a live tape, which was recorded on 4th August 1982 in the Raschplace Pavillion/Hanover, as Die Ihmespatzen Verspilen Sich in a limited edition. In 1982 followed the second album "Zu Gast Bei" on No Fun Records, of which 2000 copies were pressed. The Ihmespatzen were: Enno (vocals), Ralph (guitars), Detlef (bass), Wolfgang (keyboards), Immo (drums) and found on two tapes and a vinyl, Zu Gast Bei No Fun, compilation.

MAGIC DE SPELL - Kiss The Mirror 1984

Second album by Athens Magic De Spell on Music-Box and they transitioning from their early new wave/post punk influences to more synth-oriented sound. Let me quote some info from the re-release on Geheimnis Records in 2016: the album was released by the same label that had released their first album A Body In A Snare. Their association with a stable record company gave them the confidence to develop and aim for higher standards in music composition. From the end of 1982 until the time "Kiss The Mirror" was released in early 1984, they were performing on a regular basis. Their busy live schedule, in addition to the hours that they had spent the previous year (1982) in the studio recording their debut album, had boosted their self-confidence and molded them into a tight and efficient musical unit. To crown it all, at the end of 1983 they entered Mastersound Studios and with the help of Chris Manolitsis as their sound-engineer, they recorded their second and, for many music journalists, most complete, mature and intimate album of their career. Elias Aslanoglou sounded more confident than ever before. George Scarlatos displayed his skill at playing some very innovative bass lines. Theodore Vlahakis held down the rhythm-section with some impressive percussion, while Thanassis Scarlatos and Yannis Rodites (who joined the band by mid 1983) created some simple but impeccable melodies on synthesizers, piano and keyboards. I added three songs from their third LP so that fourteen unusual synths will delight your eavesdroppers.

DOMESTIC BLISS - Child Battery EP 1980

A nugget from the Wanted-List and first I tell you that the B-side contains a different song but I post it anyway and hope someone can send me the missing one. Reason nevertheless the A-side, which is a strong three minute mid-tempo cracker with excellent lyrics and great guitar riffs, punkrock pur! Domestic Bliss were formed in 1978 out of ‘total boredom & despair’ in leafy rural Warwickshire in the heart of the Midlands by Darren (vocals & bass), Simon (guitar) and Jon (drums) and this is their only record on Woodbine St. Records. The three are hardly represented on compilations, except on Messthetics #103 which I took here for the flip. Who knows whether other unpublished treasures will be unearthed somewhere in an archive. Until then, that has to be enough.

Addendum: Now complete with original flip :))

CINECYDE - Tough Girls 7'' 1980

New year, new music and we will open 2020 with a nice litte one by Cinecyde from Detroit with their fourth 7Inch on Tremor Records. Most music enthusiasts aren’t aware that much of the Detroit punk movement of the late 1970s emerged from the suburbs rather than the city. Cinecyde came from The Oakland County city of Clawson. Much of the music of Cinecyde revolved around disgust for the current state of the music industry and their love for B movie horror films. Formed 1976 and on this record made music Gary (vocals), Jim (guitars), Clay (bass), Rodger (drums), four albums and five 7Inches were released. Both songs with great guitar riffs, crackin' garage sound and the flip is the winner for me. Go crazy folks!
