THE FIX - Vengeance 7'' 1981

The Fix was a short-lived band of less than two years and had their first vinyl release on legendary Midwestern label Touch And Go. This is their debut (200 copies) with two fantastic short killer tracks and a review can tell you more about it: "Faster and younger than the Ramones, these boys from Lansing, Michigan give us two sides of vinyl and finish it all in two minutes and thirty-nine seconds. This is so fast that you won't even have a chance to sit down, so you better dance with your turntable. This is basic, no frills hard Punk and proves once again that Punk still goes on five years after the initial English explosion." (Sinclair Elrod, Coolest Retard 14, June 1981) - A year later their second and final EP Jan's Room followed before breaking up in early 1982. Really amazing they didn't made an album with their potential, I'm sure it would have been a masterpiece. In 1990, German label Lost & Found Records released a double LP called Cold Days, compiling all six songs from the two singles, the compilation track, four outtakes & twelve live cuts. Excellent Stuff!

THE JOLT - You're Cold! 7'' 1977

Puhhh, today I'm extremely exhausted and almost walk around in my sleep and after this post I will retire until tomorrow morning, but first the debut 7Inch by the Jolt from Glasgow on Polydor and they brought new influences into the young Punk scene, in their case a healthy dose of Sixties R&B. Usually tossed into the mod bag, the Jolt defied such easy categorizations, and split up 1979 just as that movement emerged into the national spotlight. (Jo-Ann Greene) - Four singles and one album are listed in their vita and this three piece was a classic combo and a perfect example how the music press can exert some bad influence. Also on very good compilations at home. Good Night!

THE RAYDIOS - Original Demo Recordings 1999

HOLY FUCK!, Jesus himself chokes on a glass of milk with this sounds because the next slab is what I call a real fucking killer and it's not a record from the early days and not from countries/places I prefer and you know which ones I mean. Amazing record of post Teengenerate (known for their fun style of playing garage Punk with a sense of humor and often incomprehensible English lyrics) Rock & Roll by this Japanese garage Punkers from Tokyo and this three piece is called the Raydios and were formed around 1997 by Fink (vocals/guitars), Sammy (bass/vocals) and Yoda (drums) and this is their debut which came out via Screaming Apple Records. Twelve songs are on this shitty piece of vinyl and they are part of the first demo tape which only came out on cassette in Japan (year unknown) and was immortalized on vinyl by this German label. Don't think the quality is shitty, on the contrary, amazingly good two-three minute cracker and meanwhile a rare and highly sought out piece of vinyl and I promise you thirty minutes of liquid, fresh and powerful relaxing cake time on this Sunday morning. Guests on a few Compilations, but the new shit aren't for my world, so look for them yourself.

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - The Peel Sessions 1977-1978

One more great release is another John Peel session by Siouxsie & The Banshees and on this record are the first two recordings. Info: "At a time when no other record company on the planet would touch them, Siouxsie & The Banshees came very close to signing to the BBC's own label. At least, they would have if DJ John Peel had had his way. Absolutely entranced by the two sessions that the group recorded for his show during 1977-1978, and disgusted by the rest of the industry's fearful avoidance of the band, he tried his hardest to interest the Powers That Be in at least releasing a Banshees single drawn, if necessary, from one of the actual sessions. Of course the BBC passed and, while Polydor would eventually step in to give the band the chance they demanded, it would be another two decades before the sessions themselves finally made it out, across two EPs (compiled, in turn, onto an eight-track mini-album) that returned to Siouxsie & The Banshees' first recordings for the corporation and left fans still demanding the six sessions that followed over the next ten years. Historically, of course, these are all you really need, the sound of the Banshees refining their clatter from the early rent-a-punk stylings that marked out their first shows, to the dense, chiming clang that laid the groundwork for their monumental debut album, The Scream. Spikily enthralling, six of the eight songs featured on the two sessions, from December 1977 (first transmission) and February 1978, would appear on that album; one more, "Hong Kong Garden," would become the group's first hit single, and all are instantly recognizable from their radio incarnations. But there's also a wildness here that Steve Lillywhite's LP production purposefully suppressed, a jagged vein of excitement that reminds you that here is a band kicking against all the odds, watching while a horde of lesser talents landed record deals, but refusing to compromise an iota of their vision in the hopes of joining that queue. It is that, even more than the performances, that makes this such an intense, and intensely valuable document -- if you want to hear the Banshees at their best, after all, you simply put on The Scream. But if you want to hear them at their most defiant, walk this way." (Dave Thompson)

V/A - Spit On Your Grave! Vol.1 2004

Looking pretty professional at first glance, but Buried Alive Recordings is the name of a bootleg label from Spain and they have released two CD's with rare American KBD stuff from 7Inches 1978-1983, included some rare tracks and others which always used for such Compilations. Sparsely held to infos, only the most necessary, release year, covers and nothing more (b.t.w. dizzy cover 😵). All in all, I think it's a successful selection and absolutely worth listening to, and it's not expensive to buy either. With that, another chapter weekend is heralded and volume 2 follows if you live well-behaved and uninhibited. So come on, you Maniacs!

V/A - Lung Cookies (A National Collection) 1983

All right friends, today one of the rarest records that exist on this planet and how many copies were pressed is unknown. What is certain is that it was never re-released and acquiring it in mint quality with the 12-page (photocopied) insert with full page from each band will cost you a few euros. This awesome compilation features eleven bands from the States and was made via Amphetamine Reptile record label owner Tom Hazelmyer and is a joint release between Smoked Seven Records (California) and 'Your Flesh' fanzine (Minnesota), 'Lung Cookies' logo created by Pushead. This babe is a find on my hard drive and how I come to this now, well... while searching for the perfect wave I would say. This sweetheart wants to be discovered and I wish you a pleasant listening pleasure with much early Punk history & pre-grunge roots on this record.

PAT FRAZOR & HIS BAZOOKAS - s/t EP 1989

Debut EP by this Hamburg four piece on Triton, Pat Frazor & His Bazookas formed in June 1988 with the following line-up: Honey & Hopper (vocals/guitars), Todd (bass), Kalle (drums). Although they dedicated themselves to early Punkrock, their music cannot be described in three chords alone, nor is it just a warm-up from the old days, but rather a fresh, powerful and guitar-oriented form of Rock & Roll. Characteristic is the constantly changing singing of the two guitarists, which gives the songs both a melodic and an aggressive character. Altogether they made two 7inches and one album and were a very good live band. Four dynamic, powerful songs are waiting for your ears and the Bazookas rarely at home on Compilations, suitable for the mountain festival and tonight Bundesliga... Yes!

SUZANNES - New Disease EP 1978

Well, this record is nothing new in Blogland, every one of my friends has posted this, and now I'm the last, here we go: Early Dutch stuff now by the Suzannes, a four piece from Enschede who were active in 1976-1978, and this is their only record on De 1000 Idioten Records (cool name). The band consisted of Fedde (vocals), Loek (guitars), Dick (bass), Klaas (drums) and as the cover says, 2000 copies were pressed. Influenced by the Ramones they called themselves after the song 'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen, and it was always in the repertoire in their own special version. Without an interruption they played all their songs in one go (their concerts were famous for ecstatic proportions). Six cool songs, of which 'Teenage Abortion' is the most famous one and also, besides 'Hippie', invited to some relevant compilations. JoJoJo!

THE LURKERS - Freak Show 7'' 1977

Veterans of the London Punkscene are The Lurkers and this is their second 7Inch on Beggars Banquet. Part of the first wave of British bands to emerge in the mid Seventies, playing tough, meat-and-potatoes Rock & Roll with plenty of attitude and a jaundiced eye toward the world around them. This little dittie came out in October 1977, and by the time it was released, Arturo Bassick (vocals/bass) had left the band to form his own group, Pinpoint. But the band found an adequate replacement and since then they've been delighting us with their straight-forward music and their debut Fulham Fallout from 1978 is for me one of the best UK records ever. So friends, the shitty world of work is calling and a good start has been taken care of, may Monday pass quickly.

THE IGNERENTS - Woodbines Tears & Jealousy 1997

Seventeen years later than planned, the British Ignerents released their first full length in 2017 on Rundown Records. Formed in Kent 1977, the bands only vinyl release to date was the Radio Interference 7Inch from 1979 and two songs at the First Offenders compilation. After drummer Stan died in a car accident in 1981, the band renamed themselves the Beekeepers and recorded another single. After the former bassist Chris died in 1994, the remaining band members decided to sift through and secure the band's musical legacy and with this fourteen song album, many unreleased, they carefully finished the selection and made it available to us freaks and the result is a powerful, dynamic selection of strong, energetic songs just the way I love them. And it's great to listen to. Limited to 600 pieces, so hurry up if you want a copy and in any case: perfect for the 3:00 pm beer, Cheers!

V/A - Labels Unlimited (The Second Record Collection) 1979

"Here we go then, just nipping round the corner into another decade and, in marked contrast to the more ludicrously large corporations, the small independant labels are healthier than ever." I'll quote David from the backcover and he was right, because underground music, i.e. Punkrock/New Wave, was emerging more and more and the majors sensed easy money (best example NDW). Formed in Great Malvern, Worcestershire in 1978, Cheery Red Records is one of the labels that at the time gave a number of very good young talented bands the opportunity to get their music noticed and spread beyond the local scene. This compilation is second one after the Business Unusual record with sixteen combos from Great Britain. Musically not fixed to a genre, but rather variably designed, partly equipped with a few songs that are rather uninteresting for me, but overall a decent mix which shows once again how creative and emotional the start of a new movement far away from the mainstream can be. If I compare that with today, where only junk is called music, this album is a masterpiece. Well, society just keeps getting stupider and they prove it to me every day. Enjoy the record and I'm looking forward to the Bundesliga ⚽ afterwards, Ja Ja Ja, here we go then!

THE IMPS - s/t LP 2022

Interesting plater by Bollmora Rekords and this combo meets me for the first time and they kick really ass. The Imps started 1977 in Stockholm and members were Anders (vocals), Jonas & Kai (guitars), Magnus (bass), Christer (drums) and unfortunately never made it onto vinyl during their active days. So this little compilation features fourteen songs (recorded 1978-1981, I think) from their rehearsal room and probably also live pieces in an extreme uncooked & raw quality. A few liner notes: "And in the late '70s, when the Sex Pistols and Ramones were putting out their records, musical ability wasn't important. However, we were motivated and formed the Imps at a young age (fifteen and still students) and took part-time jobs to fund our equipment. Somehow we got everything together and started rehearsing in a basement of our school with cover versions and after a while we played our first gig to a full house at a school party in Fisksätra. It was a great loud evening and when we were finished after thirty minutes, only ten people were left in the room, but those ten loved us. The Imps got better and better and they gigged all around Stockholm. In 1981 we opened for the Dead Kennedys at a place called Underground in Stockholm. The band made two demo tapes before we called it a day in 1982." (Anders, January 2022)

You see, this is a little story of how it happened at many places in those days, and the will & desire to make music burns like wildfire and is the drive to start something meaningful with its young age. The Imps are passion, crazy & musically simple but incredibly sympathetic. Listen!

THE PINCHERS - Tonight 7'' 1981

The Pinchers were a short-lived combo from Westerlo, a small village near Antwerp, and this their sole single which was released 1981 on Color Records with two hot tracks and is one of the most sought Belgian Punk singles. Comped on Bloodstains Across Belgium #2 as well as other KBD style comps, original copies go for a hefty price tag and in 2018 Belgian Waffles brought a reissue in a limited edition of 500 copies out. Lacking any kind of distribution most records were sold at local shows and very few exist in the wild. Nothing of further information about the band which means that probably only a few know them at all.

ERIC HYSTERIC - Fool Around 7'' 1983

A gentleman who likes to be a guest in my theater celebrates a little evening mood and "Fool Around" was one of three songs (The Stiff Demos) recorded by Eric Hysteric with The Esoterics @ London's Elephant Studio in September 1980. Wasted Vinyl Records released this version three years later and the line-up were Eric (vocals/guitar), Leigh (guitar), Andy (bass), Dieter (drums). A short review: "More garage grunge from Mr. Hysteric. A couple of noisy, almost poppy songs appear here, the best of which is “I Wanna Be A Kid Forever” with its cool background vocals, fuzzy guitar, up-tempo approach, and lyrics that I can totally identify with." (Jeff Bale, MRR #12 • March 1984) - Two refreshing Lo-Fi numbers reviewing a sunny but cold day. Nice one!

YOUNG IDENTITIES - EP 1979

Great stuff from Brisbane's Young Identities which were formed 1978 by Clay (vocals), David (guitars), Gavin (bass), Paul (drums) and they made only two EP's but both are standouts among the Savage/Shake releases (the label released seven vinyl singles and two cassette compilations, of which they probably sold as many copies each and nowadays high sought by collectors). The band's line-up was mixed in with other band Brisbane bands who were, in turn, part of other groups. In other words, a history of the Young Identities is necessarily a history of a few other bands. I can certainly be counted among the "overseas overseers" who became interested in the early Brisbane punk scene several years ago. Without further ado, another history from the younger, snottier contingent of the no-scene Brisbane scene... (Ryan Richardson) - The band present "a lot of youthful energy, a martial spirit and all-important Punk attitude, or in short: primitive, snotty-nosed Punkrock". In the early 1980s, the band changed their name to Kicks, joining the emerging new wave sound and made one 7Inch and a couple of split cassette EPs before they too imploded in mid 1982. Both EP's were repressed in 2010/11 via 540 Records. Compilations featuring the band on At The Fuhrers Request and more essential well-known Nuggets from the Nineties. You can't pass!

ACCELERATORS - s/t EP 1984

One more rare 7Inch, which was reissued by Manufactured Recordings in 2015, original released via Mutha Records with six shots by the Accelerators, a Central Jersey based Punkband whose brand of fast and loud "PowerPop" music has made them local club favorites since the 1980s. Largely influenced by the Ramones and the Smithereens, the Accelerators’ music is defined by strong melodies, unique irreverent lyrics and powerful drumming. The band was started by singer/bass player/songwriter Ron in 1981 with talented but troubled lead guitarist John T. Hansen, and backed by Dave Ross on drums. Their brand of fast and loud music made them local club favorites throughout the late 1980s. Represented on some good compilations and unfortunately I can't offer you one yet, eieieiei..... Well, that'll be fine and for a fucking Monday evening post anyway enough.

Breakfast at 15:00 MEZ... and are you hungry?

I know this post will interest a few but this platform is perfect for that, and here I can do what I want and this is not an instagram influence (for all those who found me through bubble, urrgghhhhhh). After a long weekend with music and a long sleep, even the hardest Fucker has to eat something, and maybe some of you know that I love Curry Geschnetzeltes, today with chickpeas, something new and I have to say, fucking delicious! If you would like to try the following recipe: 200g turkey, 60g noodles, curry cocktail with chickpeas in a jar, garlic, oil, salt & pepper and a fresh red paprika. Preparation time around thirty minutes, and how it tastes you will found out and that's it for today, Aloha!

THE NOTHINGS - Alot To Learn 12'' 1983

Welcome to another rare slab from California with catchy powerful music by the Nothings from Los Angeles which were active in the early Eighties and this is their lone release and reissued 1999 with two bonus tracks (jojo). The band consisted of Rob (vocals), Phil (guitars & vocals), Lenny (bass), Bob (drums) and this five track 12Inch was released via Augustus Records. A short review: "If you thought the Sex Pistols sound was dead in 1983, you’ve got “a lot to learn,” because this Southern California group is the mirror image of the Pistols stylistically. They’ve got the same crunching rhythm attack and wall-of-sound guitar on the Rotten one’s vocals are missing. Highly recommended for nostalgia buffs." (Jeff Bale, MRR #10 • December 1983) - He describes their music perfect and the four are the American version of the Londoners, in every way. Oh Yeah, a fucking great five cruncher! They didn't get invited on compilations in their active lifespan, presumably because the songs always exceeded the three-minute mark but I think, they deserve full attention.

THE RUSSIANS - No Title 7'' 1980

Rain, rain and more rain! And I had to get out, damn shit! My unavoidable ToDo's are almost done and I treat myself to a short break and another rare & interesting record follows by a short lived four piece that was based in Northampton and the Russians only made one good record with two cool goodies on Laser. Formed in 1979 by Julie (vocals), Dusty (guitars), John B. (bass) & John (drums). They are non-political, a satirical statement & quickly disappeared. Info: "They chose the band name as an ironic statement on their deliberate apolitical stance, in direct contrast to many of their punk heroes. Julie felt her name was boring by contrast to the rest of the band who created a professional name by jokingly combining Rebel and witch to make the Sovietesque Rebel-o-witch-z. To promote the single, a custard pie fight was staged between Russians and Acme Punk Clothing outside the latter’s shop on the busy Wellingborough Road in Northampton bringing traffic to a standstill. The event made the front page of the local newspaper under the title Russian invasion starts a war. Unfortunately, the distributors refused to release the single and the band fought a long relentless battle and in the end had to settle for getting a few released for themselves, which they had to drive to London to get, so they could sell this small amount to their fans." Rarely at home on compilations but I can recommend you Smashed Again!!!, I chose the flip among many other rarities for this sucker.

THE SOUND - Physical World EP 1979

Debut EP on Tortch Records by The Sound. A renowned combo which were formed in South London 1979 from the remnants of the Punk band the Outsiders. The original line-up consisted of Adrian Borland (vocals/guitar) and Graham Bailey (bass), both ex-Outsiders, along with Mike Dudley (drums) and woodwinds player Bi Marshall. While not a member, ex-Outsider Adrian Janes would contribute ideas and co-write lyrics to the Sound's music. Borland and Bailey also made up the band Second Layer, formed around the same time as the Sound. This little info is enough, there is a lot to read about this great combo and they were even acknowledged on the Killed By Death #24 compilation and eight albums prove their creativity and make them one of the most important Post-Punk bands I would say. Before I can continue here today, I have to do a lot of fucking things that cannot be postponed and that take up valuable time.

ŽENEVSKI DEKRET - Mostar Demo 1986

I received an email a while back with the latest record (Alkohol) and I really don't know from whom and since it didn't end up in the spam folder I should know the sender. But I have no idea who sent it to me. Anyway, I listened to the single and I have to say: cool dirty stuff! So I researched the net and came across to their unassuming little blog and got more material. And here's a little bit of it with info out of their mouths: "Punk behind the iron curtain and an old jewel: Ženevski Dekret (Geneve Decree) started back 1984 in Mostar (ex-Yugoslavia, now Bosnia/Herzegovina) and the first line-up consisted of Habi (vocals/drums), Kokich (bass), Golub (guitars). Back in the day things were hard despite the fact Yugoslavia was "something better that the other countries of existing socialism" in matters of freedom of speech so their first demo Mostar came out three years later in 1986 and was followed by Neću Da Budem Dio Jebene Mase (Don't Wanna Be A Part Of Fucking Mass) in 1988, a three track EP which was released in 2007 by Ne! Records/Mama Records and all three goodies are taken from the Vogue studio session from 1988 and the record then came out in an edition of 500 copies. A pocket sized booklet written by Habi with a little bio and lyrics is included and music wise this is rough, angry and primitive Hardcore much more brutal than their first demo which has melodic moments." Until 2005 they released one CD, one tape & two singles, there were several line-up changes and they are also strongly represented on Compilations. The recordings are unpolished and impressively document the attitude towards life in the mid Eighties in the heart of ex-Yugoslavia.

COLA FREAKS - Ingenting Set EP 2008

Second record by this brillant combo from Århus on Hjernespind. Cola Freaks were Mads (vocals), Morten (guitars), Kasper (bass), Jacob (drums) and we listen to three catchy, tough and memorable goodies and if you can't get enough of their sound I recommend their album Cola Freaks from 2010 which is also fantastic. The first press of this EP came in an edition of 1000 copies on black vinyl in four different (blue, red, tan & yellow) sleeves, second press on clear vinyl with blue sleeve. Their music is inspired by '77 Punk and New Wave with Danish lyrics and the songs on this EP were recorded during their US tour in Memphis 2008. And now it's time for me to make some money, ugh!

LAST ROUGH CAUSE - Violent Few EP 1985

Monday morning, new work week and it starts with solid Oi! stuff and let's say Hello to the debut of Last Rough Cause, a three piece which originally formed 1983 in Darlington by Andy (vocals/bass), Ste (guitars), Max (drums), the band has undergone a number of line-up changes bringing us to the present day. They describe themselves: "The best way to describe the sound of the band is to say is it's foundation is built on melodic Punkrock drawing influences from the early roots of the 76/77 scene right up to the current modern Punk sound." After an EP and two split LP’s the band called it a day. In 2010 they released their first full-length (Aggrophobia) which is a decent combination of classic Oi! & Punkrock. 500 copies of this record were pressed and it's a fresh four track listening pleasure.

BAICAL - Euphoria 12'' 2017

Today I introduce you to an interesting German band whose music is suitable for every conceivable moment and first of all I would like to thank iNgo for this tip and I would like to quote a few lines from their Bandcamp home: Baical are a three piece band based in Leipzig, Germany, dedicated to translating their emotional experiences into expressive and ethereal music of the goth, new wave and pop persuasion. Influenced by some of the most prominent alternative bands of the 1980s, they have been inspired by the finest aspects of these groups yet their fresh approach offers a new chapter for fans of this style. When they formed in 2017, they quickly got to work creating their debut EP, Euphoria, (300 copies) which was written in a basement over the course of two days during a cold winter. The forbidding seasonal state left an impression on their music that seems to have carried throughout their sound, blending sadness with beauty. Playing shows with Belgrado, Soviet Soviet and Bleib Modern cemented the strength of their songs and gained them further recognition. The following year, members Richard, Chris and Willi, recorded the album Funeral Party with producer Magnus Wichmann at Lala Studios in Leipzig. The result is a modern high quality sound that does justice to the strength of their songwriting. Featuring chorus saturated guitar tones reminiscent of the Cure and an authentically 80s drum sound, these finer details all come together to form a unified and harmonious debut release. The album is full of catchy hooks, luscious melodies, and even contains some dance friendly grooves.

Well I enjoy this band and while their music may seem very dark it is uplifting and full of positive vibes and I'm sure they will find many friends with their sound. TOP!

TŘI SESTRY - Na Kovárně To Je Nářez 1990

An interesting record is the debut of Tři Sestry (Three Sisters), a combo from Prague and the origins of the band are uncertain, as most members were still in high school when the ensemble began to coalesce. Some of their later material has fallen into a more general rock genre, and they have also dabbled in Hardcore/Punk. They are one of the most popular bands in this country and have played @ the Masters Of Rock Festival in 2005 & 2011. In 1985, a few friends who had previously played in the band Spálená Tlumivka created their own group and named it Tři Sestry. The name was invented by Jiří "Hadr" Brábník, the band's original drummer. The band's initial lineup consisted of Jiří Brábník, Tomáš "Sup" Karásek (harmonica), Petr "Dachau" Jírovec (guitar), and Tomáš Doležal (bass). Not long after, three vocalists were added to the group: František Moravec, Simona "Síma" Bártová, and Petr "Bombur" Kratochvíl. Tři Sestry played their first official concert in the spring of 1986 @ Klub 001 in Strahov, a district of Prague. In the summer of 1986, vocalist Fanánek was seriously injured by a passing train, severing one of his legs (he now wears a prosthesis), and the band's performances were interrupted. In 1987, vocalists Síma & Bombur left the band and Luděk "Nikotýn" Pallat joined on guitar. They performed with two guitarists for a while but eventually Jírovec left. In January 1988, they recorded an album, which was released only in 1995, under the title Rarity. At the end of the 1980s, there were various personnel changes in the group, including several stints by guitarist František Sahula (a former member of Spálená Tlumivka, who left Tři Sestry in 2004 and was found murdered in 2008), who wrote some of the band's biggest hits". - Enough blah blah, this album has eighteen varied songs that are sometimes fast and melodic and consistently provide pleasant vibes.
