P.F. COMMANDO - Jag En Duva 1980

Third and final album by P.F. Commando from Gävle on Mamma and here they show again that they can write very good songs, a total of eleven catchy examples of grandiose music. More dirty samples, the Manipulerade Mongon album + two singles are also recommended and since it will be a hot day today and tomorrow, nothing will happen in this theater. Enjoy the Sun!

UHF - À Flor Da Pele 1981

Endlich das debut by my favourite band UHF, a Portuguese rock band formed in the late 70s, more precisely in 1978, with the formation composed by Américo Manuel (drums), Carlos Peres (bass guitar), Renato Gomes (guitar) and António Manuel Ribeiro (voice & guitar). They were one of the main responsible for the ‘boom’ of the so-called Portuguese rock that emerged in the early 1980s since, until that time, Portuguese publishers did not bet on rock bands that sang in Portuguese, and, tell the truth, Portuguese youth preferred music sung in English. Their music is a mix of powerpop and punk, I would say, and I have highlighted them enough with every post and if you think that's shit then check out the EMI album and convince yourself, a first-class band with fuckin' great music. Perfect for vacation or a beer by the water and all in 320k/Bit! with the single which was only available with the first 10.000 copies of the album, it wasn't sold separately.

THEE UNDERTAKERS - Crucify Me 2001

Here is another excellent example of what Friends of Network brings together: request for this record, emailed on, received: that's the way it goes! Search the net for info and here it is: Thee Undertakers from East Los Angeles first started practicing during mid-1977. They decided early on not to go for the "leather or New Wave look" and would instead wear black suits on stage to emulate their namesake. By 1978 they found Art, who became their singer. In 1979, the band hooked up with Willie Heron, from Los Illegals, who helped the band get on many bills at the Vex and other East L.A. clubs that would host punk shows. The band played heavily during 1979 through 1982 and played at clubs like the Vex, Starwood, Hong Kong Cafe, and the Whiskey to name a few. The band opened for many bands including D.O.A., Plugz, Gears, Fleasheaters and others. The band recorded their first demo in 1980 and returned to the studio in 1981 to record what was to be their first LP. The band was going to have their LP released through Tito Larriva's Fatima Records label (who released Plugz album and The Brat EP), but after a falling out between Tito and the band, the record never materialized and sat in the can for twenty years. In 2001, Grand Theft Audio released their awesome collection of studio recordings from 1980-81. Thee Undertakers from 1977-1982 were: Art Reyes (vocals), Tracy Lee (Skull) Garcia (bass), Tony (Fingers) Naranjo (guitar), and Mike Chaidez (drums) and this is a solid compilation with demo & master recordings from 1980 andreleased via Grand Theft Audio. I continue to cure my bruised ribs and so you may be able to enjoy more slices in the early afternoon. Now chilling continues and tomorrow is another day.

VIRUS 27 - Parasitas Obrigatórios 1987

Good Morning  dear friends of cool music and today we listen to the debut record of Virus 27, a Brazilian Oi! combo from São Paulo, on Devil Discos. The band was formed in 1982 with Di on drums, Braz on guitar and Pezão on bass. They started with a mid-tempo hardcore punk sound just like many of their contemporaries in the early Brazilian scene; very similar to Cólera. The name of the band came from the label Alternative Tentacles because the founder of the band was a big Dead Kennedys fan. He died sometime in early 80's. Their first recorded apperance was 1985 on the Ataque Sonoro compilation. A year later they released the Parasitas Obrigatórios album and this showed the band moving away from hardcore punk to more of an Oi sound, like Garotos Podres. However, Virus 27 still sang critical lyrics about society and seasoned with an unique sound - slow but very good. In late 80's, the band took a turn towards right wing politics, and released their second album Brasil Oi!. They became too nationalist and the punk scene abandoned their gigs, it became a band just for Skinheads - at that time punks and skinheads in Brazil started to go in different ways and hate each other. Their last record Caso Sério!!! was released in 1996 and then the band broke up. Well, at least Virus 27 didn't became nazi and racist, only patriotic and play rough Oi! music in a very strong catchy way. A very good debut in my opinion and rough as a street punk record should be.

DIE ÄRZTE - 5, 6, 7, 8 - Bullenstaat! 2002

5, 6, 7, 8 - Bullenstaat! is a brilliant album with twenty-five songs by Die Ärzte on Bondage Records (500 copies) and was only sold on tours. The album was also available from the band's former fan club and is always available for download there as well as on the band's official website. "With a wink, die Ärzte on this album also address all those who have always called them "commercial punk" with "stupid pop songs" because they avoided the sometimes quite monotonous themes of punk music of the 80s, in which it was mostly about the German system, the fucking cops or the good old revolution, and preferred to go their own way to create and perfect their own style. Typical Ärzte humor and nonsense texts in perfection and all this to a musical mix of punk, ska, rockabilly and electro. Thematically it is about their favorite things: police officers, beer, resistance, student girls and rockabillys." One of their best records anyway and the CD version has as bonus the songs of the also fantastic 1, 2, 3, 4 - Bullenstaat! EP on which they cover German punk classics in their style. An absolute listening pleasure from the best band in the world!

XTRAVERTS - So Much Hate 1997

OK, no rib broken just a bruise but it hurts with every movement. I mentioned it briefly yesterday, a fall with the bike and a wasp sting on the back neck.....yes, yesterday was a nice day. Let's get to the following slab and I'll quote words from Bin Liner: "The most famous punk band of all has to be the Sex Pistols - but if your home was in the High Wycombe area you'll know that there was one other band that were just as good - Xtraverts from Buckinghamshire!! Back in 1977 the entire World was overcome with safety pin wearing, Mohican sporting Punk Rockers. Xtravert by name and oh boy - Xtravert by nature. Eventually splitting in the early 80s after their lead singer went to prison, they left behind them a torrent of local graffiti, a following that were lost without their local heroes and a complete unreleased LP, their finest moment, left to gather dust -disgraceful. That long lost album is now finally here, complete with free souvenir bin liner bag to the first 500 people who bought the vinyl album. On April 4th 1997 the band got together for the first time in almost twenty years - much had changed - the bass player is now female and other band members sport backgrounds such as ABH charges, appearances on stars in their eyes (Billy Idol) and membership of Matt Bianco - the sound however, was still there though and the crowd loved it!" Now on to the announced vinyl rip I wanted to do this week, enjoy the music!

CHAOS GENERATION - Requiem 1989

Three years after their great debut record Athens Chaos Generation made a fantastic successor on Di Di Music with eleven delicious which translates to requiem but the songs are anything but bleak. With this album, they entered a prominent position in the underground scene of every punk respected fan. In 1989 they released the second and last album entitled Requiem. Enriched with fresh influences from their new members, they are now experimenting with a more metallic sound and the difference was obvious from the previous album. The melodic vocals of the first album were replaced by aggressive ones and the sound is more punk which is influenced by the metal scene without changing the dynamic. A. Ambrazis (bass) left the group and Alexis Aliferis came, as well as Dimitris Pappas as second guitar. In the same year the band disbanded. Throughout their course they gave many live gigs mainly in Athens and in 1996 their two albums were re-released along with additional unreleased tracks via Wipe Out Records on CD and a limited number of double vinyl. I can only say that today was a formative one (in a negative sense) and the music of the Athenians is now just right for me. Listen!

V/A - There Is No Future... 1984

I changed my mind and post this compilation which appeared on Cherry Red in 1984 and contains, not really surprising, a nice overview of early UK punk bands, i.e. bands from the essential No Future label, rather what for collectors or anyone who overslept the punk explosion. All songs are well known and released on other records at that time, so it may be boring for some but I think the record is okay and it is always refreshing to call up the old classics every now and then. Some slabs can be found in the blog the planned vinyl rip will be postponed until tomorrow. Until then, pleasant nostalgia flash with these sixteen nuggets!

SYSTEME D - Another Day EP 1984

Very good EP by Systéme D from Rouen on Melopara records and on their only record are three beautiful crackers. The band consisted of Joël (vocals), Herman (guitars) and Paul (bass), the fourth on the photo is unknown. I think, I've already posted the slab in my former blog but unfortunately I can't find any more information about the boys. Egal, they are represented on some unknown compilations and what I don't understand, there are some new relevant re-releases of French compis on which they are not present... weird, because their sound kicks vehemently neat. And now I care for another LP rip and maybe something more will come today.

THE LIMPS - Try And See 7'' 1980

Another killer re-release and like the French makers of Chameleon Records, the British have an adequate pendant called Love Child Records to revive rare missing goodies from the united kingdom: "Previously unreleased until now! We’re very excited to be releasing this lost punk new wave classic Try & See. Originally recorded in the summer of 1980. Limited press & “The Limps were a Punk band from Annan that were signed to the Matchbox Classics independent record label based in Carlisle. The band was comprised of Chuck, Andy,Tam and Dee Dee. They formed Matchbox Classics with the band ‘No Support’ when each member of both bands put £50 in each to fund the creation of a split EP entitled ‘Opposite Sides’ in 1979, the same year they also released another split with ‘No Support’ called ‘Another Matchbox Classic”.The band also recorded a clutch of other great tracks which we will be releasing in the coming months, two of which are included here were recorded the following year in the summer of 1980 Love Child Records are more than happy to put out these long-lost pieces of '80 New Wave/Punk tracks out in full colour sleeve with flipback sides. Enjoy..." Also represented on relevant compilations and essential for every early punk sound lovers.

TAXFREE - Jag Kan Aldrig Få Dej 7'' 1982

Somewhere from the Swedish province, a place called Hultsfred comes Taxfree and the band consisted of Anders (vocals/guitar), Göran & Mikael (guitars), Bert (bass), Per (drums) & Peter (organ). This is their first single of two on Miss Mindy Music. Unfortunately there are no more infos available and musically they are classified as PowerPop but I think they are more at home in solid rock but I can't really tell the difference. It’s not that important either, the boys doing theit job very well and I’ve heard worse things from the Three Crowns country. I could tell a little story now but that would go too far. Enjoy the music!

WARMDUSCHER - Bleib Sauber EP 1997

Let's come to a band from the Karlsruhe area, I think say and Bleib Sauber is their first EP on Puffotter Platten/Klaubär Productions, released in an edition of 500 hand-numbered copies. The band consisted of Jürgen (vocals), Alex (guitars), Stefan (bass) & Andy (drums) and the reason for buying this record was the song Karlsruhe Soll Brennen, a cover of the EA80 classic, which of course I had to hear and I'm a Warmduscher too. Surprisingly, their music can't be classified as blunt fun punk, as the band name might suggest, no!, the band blows out four varied first-class, catchy, rough pieces with appealing lyrics, really a good record. An album Heringsbändiger was released two years later which I don't know and on compilations rather not represented. And now; off into the weekend!

AEDI - Fratelli D'Italia 7'' 1977

Ok folks, here is a terrific record but in a bad quality. Rather not my way of posting such a scrap sound but maybe some of you have an excellent rip of this 7Inch for me, I would be very grateful, so my Italian friends, come over with the stuff. Aedi was a four piece from Milan I think and consisted of Renato (vocals/guitar), Luigi (guitars), Eliana (bass) and Valentino (drums). This is their only release on Polydor (a few promo copies comes with a band biography) with two nice dirty punk anthems. The flip was used for the splendid Killed By Death D'Italia compilation and that's where my info ends. So again, please send me a qualitative rip of this damn hot two-sided killer.

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR - These Boots Are Made For Walking 7'' 1978

The Birthday Party (originally known as The Boys Next Door) were an Australian post-punk band, active from 1978 to 1983. Despite limited commercial success, The Birthday Party's influence has been far-reaching, and they have been called "one of the darkest and most challenging post-punk groups to emerge in the early '80s." The group's "bleak and noisy soundscapes," which drew irreverently on blues, free jazz, and rockabilly, provided the setting for vocalist Nick Cave's disturbing tales of violence and perversion. Their music has been described by critic Simon Reynolds as gothic, and their single "Release the Bats" was particularly influential on the emerging gothic scene. In 1980, The Birthday Party moved from Melbourne to London, where they were championed by broadcaster John Peel. Disillusioned by their stay in London, the band's sound and live shows became increasingly violent. They broke up soon after relocating to West Berlin in 1983. The creative core of The Birthday Party – singer and songwriter Nick Cave, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mick Harvey, and singer, songwriter and guitarist Rowland S. Howard – later went on to acclaimed careers.

And now.... a true story! Welcome to another Volume of great British Punk Originals 1977-1982.

NORMAHL - Ein Volk Steht Hinter Uns 1982

Now a German Punk classic, second 12'' in form of a mini LP from Stuttgart on Mülleimer Records by Normahl before they made their brilliant Der Adler Ist Gelandet album. Eight good offensive songs in a gruff recording as I like it and even if they could not keep up with the AGR combos, the band has established itself in the scene and their first two or three records are among the best from the Eagleland. The first press was published with a white cover and I think with a lyric sheet. In the course of the 1980s, the band came closer to fun punk and became uninteresting for me. I mean, they already had a lot of non-serious lyrics and I wouldn't class them as highly political, but they just sounded rougher and snottier and scattered funnier texts here and there (Al Capone, Ich Entführ Ein Kind or Auschwitz), but always provocative and with ulterior motives, an ambiguity, do you know what I mean?... and this skill is gone in the newer recordings. Well, Normahl are still active, playing gigs and that's the main thing, I saw them live in Stuttgart and it was cool, definitely worth a visit.

KSU - s/t LP 1989

Debut record by this punx on Pronit and KSU is one of the oldest Polish bands, founded in 1977 in the southeastern town of Ustrzyki Dolne (in the Bieszczady Mountains). According to its founder, Eugeniusz Olejarczyk, the band was the fruit of listening of radio stations from Western Europe, in which several punkrock songs were played. Young listeners from Ustrzyki decided to play covers of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, and in 1978 they came up with the name KSU, which comes from car licence plates, issued by the Krosno Voivodeship authorities for vehicles from Ustrzyki Dolne. With new name came new music - KSU began playing songs inspired by Sex Pistols, Damned, and UK Subs.

In 1980, due to friendship with Kazimierz Staszewski, KSU travelled across Poland to Kolobrzeg, to participate in the New Wave Festival. The band was dubbed a sensation, but soon afterwards its members were one after one called up to the Polish Army and KSU ceased to exist. In 1988 KSU recorded a LP "Pod Prąd" ("Against The Flow"), which was warmly welcomed by its fans. Currently KSU consists of four members, including Olejarczyk. Its lyrics are in most cases written by Maciej Augustyn, the brother of former singer Bogdan "Bohun" Augustyn. A total of twelve albums were recorded and the band's last album Two Nations, released on December 8, 2014 and to my knowledge still active. Thirteen decent songs with a pinch of Oi!

ACID ATTACK - Suburbias Dream 7'' 1983

Love Child Records are very pleased to be releasing for the first time on vinyl, recorded in Thatchers Britain in 1983. So put the studs in your leather & make sure to grab one of the very limited 250 press records with DIY sleeve. Formed in 1980 in Southsea, Hants Acid Attack have proved to be legends of the Punk Scene of the early '80s and the subject of much interest. Two stand out tracks are presented here, totally re-mastered, on the bands first 7" vinyl courtesy of Love Child Records; "Suburbias Dream"/"Warsaw". Acid Attack were originally in existence for four years in which time they released the thirteen track cassette album “Sulphuric” and contributed the track “Suburbia's Dream” to the  Sane Records 1984 compilation On The Street. In terms of era, they fit into what is now known as the UK82 punk scene but they think the sound is not so easy to categorise. They were neither Oi or hardcore punk.  Acid Attack aimed beyond such restricting labels. Gigging mainly locally, aside from one headline slot in South Wales, the name Acid Attack spread far and wide thanks to word of mouth, sales of Sulphuric (aided greatly by the practice of smearing postage stamps with soap in order to reuse them) and interviews in many of the punk fanzines of the time. Sulphuric also received a short but favourable review in the music paper Sounds, who noted that “Acid Attack are a spirited punk band with sufficient ideas and energy to lift them above the morass of thrash-and-screech merchants”. Acid Attack formed in late 1980, went through numerous line up changes and had split up by the end of 1984. They are still out and about now - plying the same in yer face '82 punk with the same enthusiasm as over thirty-five years ago.

CORAIL - Laissez-Nous Refaire La Terre EP 2018

This superb EP by Corail is also part of the strictly limited 8 EP box De La Pure Came!! 32 titres Punk-rock-Cold Inédits 1977/1982. Info: "Corail is first and foremost childhood friends living in La Teste de Buch, on the Arcachon Basin, who make music together under the name of SEISM from 1974. They gave their first concert in 1975. They played at the Bergerac festival in 1977 with Bracos Band, Madrigal & Telephone. Then in Toulouse in the "Le Pied" room. They occur at Golf Drouot on March 17, 1978. They decide to go try their luck in Paris in 1977. They changed their name to Corail and then consists of: Yves Marty (solo guitar, vocals), Laurent Marty (drums, vocals), Pierre Banneau (rhythm guitar, vocals ) and Jean-Marc Levasseur (bass guitar, vocals) After many concerts much appreciated by their fans and the departure of Jean-Marc, they find, not without difficulty, in Bordeaux Martial Pain on bass guitar and Jean-Marc André says "CHINOI" who made his debut with CORAIL as a sound engineer and has since illustrated with different groups including: Dogs, Les Garcons Bouchers, Pigalle, Les Negresses Vertes, La Mano Negra and many others also talented. Little anecdote, his nickname of "CHINOI" was given to him by Michel Banneau blacksmith and father of the guitarist who seeing Jean-Marc for the first time who was wearing a small braid falling on the nape tied by a ribbon, we asked: "and who is he, The Chinese ???". The group nicknamed him from this day, Jean Marc decided to keep this nickname but without the s at the end, so "Chinoi". He died in 2015.

The group sets out again on the road in their covered Citroën HY brand tarpaulin truck which did not fail to point them out, especially by the gendarmes. After several concerts and tours with this new formula, notably several times featured in the legendary Golf Drouot (June 13, 1981 for example), Corail records a 7Inch with two songs at Studio Florida in the XIth arrondissement of Paris "Comme Un Surfer" (Chinoi does the backing vocals on the finale) and "J'ai Vécu Tout Ca". The cover photo is taken from their visit to the L.C.R. in Versailles. They will play Rose Bonbon on May 13 at Rose Bonbon (with Chrysalide), Gibus and many other rooms in the Parisian suburbs.

The group separated in 1981. Some will continue under the name of Tutti Quanti (two 12'' released in 1987). Following the contacts established for the compilation, Yves Marty made me listen to some tracks recorded in 1979. Here are three new tracks from this fabulous group, including one live, certainly in its medium, but which demonstrates all the power on stage of this combo. The title "J'ai Vécu Tout Ca" already appears on the compilation and on their first and only 7Inch released at the time. On sale alone (200 copies) or in the box with seven other EP's, a newspaper sheet with the history of the groups, and a crossword puzzle for cultivated people" (source: 45vinylvidivici).

Four decent PowerPop goodies, great stuff!

GOLLYWOG - Fredagskväll 7'' 1978

Now a small highlight from the Swedish province of Jönköping county and the historic province of Småland. Gollywog was a punk combo from Tranås and were actice 1977-1980 and consisted Håkan (vocals), Peter & Jois (guitars), Anders (bass), Tomas (drums), and this is their very rare, much sought by collectors, only fuckin' record which they released by themselves in an edition of 300 copies. The five were inspired by the Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Ramones and others and most of their own songs (and there were a lot) were mainly written by singer Håkan. In their short livespan they played a handful of gigs in Tranås, Malmö, Motala and Stockholm. In 1980 the band broke up and Håkan became singer in the Nässjö band Rottweiler. The A-Side is a superb catchy number with killer guitars and if they had released an album in this style, it would have been on everyone's lips, one hundred percent. The flip is a solid rockin' track, equally brilliant. TOP record!

ERIC HYSTERIC - Für Dich 1988

This is the second album by Eric Hysteric on Orgasm Records and all instruments are played by Eric, Drum Programming by Dieter Krist. 1981 he has already released the Drive You Crazy album with the Esoterics and there you will find more detailed information about him. With this record Eric continued to develop its “heavily idiosyncratic but highly sensitive music”. Absolute D.I.Y. minimalistic experimental punkies packed in fourteen skin-tight songs and you can say what you will, he was a pioneer of this genre in my opinion, a real individualist with an innovative spirit. If you are not a fan yet, you might become one. Two singles from the early 80s are also released, let's see where I have both. Stay tuned, I'm sure I still have one more...

SPECIAL DUTIES - '77 In '82 1982

Let's start the weekend with a very good album from Colchester/Essex: the solid debut album by the Special Duties and on this record were involved Steve (vocals), Bart (guitars), Steve (bass), Stu (drums). A bit info: Created in October 1977 by friends Steve Green (Aka Arrogant), Steve Norris (Aka Duty) and Nigel Baker. They were punks at school, but the idea of forming their own band came when they saw The Adverts in Colchester. The fact that the three schoolboys couldn't play and didn't own any instruments didn't discourage them. They decided to put Arrogant on vocals, Duty on guitar and Baker on Bass. The band was originally going to be named X-pelled, but they switched to Special Duties when a box of around 200 badges with "Special Duties" printed on them which had been stolen from a school in Colchester came into their possession, the band deciding that they could save money on getting badges made by simply changing their name to match the stolen ones. For their debut live show, the band spread the word through the underground punk grapevine that they would performing a free gig underneath the shopping precinct in Colchester. Hundreds of people turned up to see them play a fifteen-minute version of the only song they knew, "There'll Be No Tomorrow", performed in the Marks & Spencer loading bay. In 1980, Bart Povah joined the band and they recorded their first demo, which got them a record deal with Charnel House Records. The band moved to Rondelet Records soon after and recruited drummer Stuart Bray. Their second EP for the label, "Police State" spent two months in the indie chart, prompting Rondelet to get the band into the studio to record their debut album, '77 in '82. - The band is still alive and with this sixteen songs they conjured up a typical UK punk record which is hard, rough + reflects perfect the mood of the early rebel days. Great Stuff!

STRASSENJUNGS - Wir Ham Ne Party 7'' 1980

Legends have grown up around the Strassenjungs since 1977 with their debut album Dauerlutscher pioneer for NewWave/Punk. In 1979 bassist and singer Nils Selzer founded the Tritt label and produced the second album Wir Ham Ne Party with new musicians, and the Frankfurters became a cult band for teens and twens at parties and demos. Their songs land in the independent charts and appear on many compilations. Their rousing gigs make them one of the top ten most popular live groups. The INTERNATIONAL MUSICIAN praises: "A healthy mix of humor and politically conscious aggressiveness." This is their second Single with two tracks from the second album and I think in a different mix, I sold the album so I'm not sure. Solid Punk'N'Roll with great anarchist lyrics and their third LP Los! you should grab too.

GYLLENE TIDER - Billy EP 1978

The Billy EP is a promo record from Swedish pop group Gyllene Tider, released in November 1978 in an edition of 900 copies. It should not be confused with the Gyllene Tider EP, which was released in 1996. The group was founded in 1978 by Per (vocals/guitar) and Mats (guitar/piano). Micke (drums), Göran (piano) & Anders (bass) completed the quintet. The song Billy released in 1978 helped to get a record deal, the album Gyllene Tider was released 1979 and became extremely popular in Sweden. The group's best-selling album is Moderna Tider (1981). More albums followed. The attempt to conquer the world market in 1984 under the name Roxette and with English-language titles failed. It was not until 1989 that Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson made their international breakthrough as Roxette. 1985 separated Gyllene Tider. 1995, however, there was a reunification, which was initiated by a legendary concert in Halmstad and the publication of an EP and the best-of album Halmstads Pärlor with a total of four new songs, which was followed by a tour of Sweden the following year. 2004 was marked by the band's 25th anniversary. Gyllene Tider released the new album Finn 5 Fel! and completed an anniversary concert tour through Sweden with twnty-one concerts and around 490.000 visitors. In April 2013 the album Dags Att Tänka På Refrängen was released, in July and August the tour of the same name took place. Gessles Roxette partner Marie Fredriksson acts as background singer for the title Run Run Run. On the group's website, the tour beginning on July 4, 2019 was described as final, so the story so far. Musically five cozy rock songs with piano inlays, knock me not off the chair, but why not.

AUS LAUTER LIEBE - Pingelig 7'' 1981

Als kleiner Bonus zum Sampler folgt die zweite 7Inch der Hamburger Aus Lauter Liebe auf ZickZack Platten und tja, ist absolut nicht so mein Zeugs. Dieses minimalistische Geklimper ist so aufregend wie ein Kehrmaschine die mich morgens aus dem Schlaf reißt. Alle Instrumente von Aus Lauter Liebe & Niki mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung von Hedwig, Kitty Cittny und Leffy Flamingo. Ich frage mich wirklich warum solch 'Musik' aufgenommen wird und zu welchem Anlaß das aufgelegt wird. Die B-Seite ist hier der Gewinner, immerhin schrammlige Gitarre mit schmerzenden Geschrei. Kann man nehmen und ein absoluter Ausnahme Beitrag. - As a small bonus to the sampler, the second 7Inch of the Hamburgs Aus Lauter Liebe on ZickZack Platten and well, this is absolutely not my cup of tea. This minimalistic strumming is as exciting as a sweeper that wakes me up in the morning. All instruments from Aus Lauter Liebe & Niki with the active support of Hedwig, Kitty Cittny and Leffy Flamingo. I really wonder why such 'music' is being recorded and on what occasion this will be played. The B side is the winner with shabby guitars and a painful scream voice. You can take it and an absolute exception post.

V/A - Jetzt Oder Nie! 2020

Willkommen zu einer neuen Compilation aus dem Hause WDM Records, und #007 ist einmal mehr hervorragend bestückt mit rarem deutschen Untergrund von 1979 - 1986, die Daten lagen unentdeckt auf einem USB Stick den ich zufällig reaktivierte und all das wurde mir X-Mas 2017 von Herrn Reinhard geschickt. An für sich bin ich sofort dabei reinzuhören weil ich weiß, es ist immer exzellenter Stoff, doch hier lief's irgendwie anders. Nun, jetzt isser da; Part VIII wieder randvoll aus einer bunten Palette mit Pop, Rock, Punk & New Wave Goodies von diversen Singles, Demos, Samplerbeiträgen & Live Stücken die kaum jemand kennt, inklusive mir selbst. Der Titel ist jetzt nichts spezielles, mir kam eben kein anderer und so wurde es einfach der Opener und Erdbeeren mag ich gerne, so ist das Cover ebenso ein zeitgemäß unspektakuläres geworden (dem Arm geht's inzwischen wieder besser). Genug Worte, zieht euch das Teil rein und Lob oder Kritik sind wünschenswert. Part IX wird definitiv anders, versprochen.

Welcome to a new compilation from WDM Records, and #007 is once again excellently equipped with rare German underground from 1979 - 1986, the data was undetected on a USB stick that I accidentally reactivated and all of this was sent to me X-Mas 2017 by Mr.Reinhard. In itself, I immediately listen to it because I know it is always excellent material, but here it was somehow different. Well, now here; Part VIII again full to the brim with a colorful palette with pop, rock, punk & new wave goodies from various singles, demos, sampler contributions & live pieces that hardly anyone knows, including myself. The title is nothing special, no other came to me and so it just became the opener and I like strawberries, so the cover has become a contemporary unspectacular one (the arm is doing better now). Enough words, suck the file in and praise or criticism is desirable. Part IX will be definitely different, I promise.
