NUNFUCKERS - Dead And On The Floor EP 1987

A short trip across the Atlantic and we visit the Nunfuckers. Short Info: "Formed in July of 1985 in Waterloo/Ontario. The first practice was in Bob's garage - Bob on drums, Dave on guitar, Ian on vocals and Todd on guitar. Practice went for a couple of hours. When Todd got bored and left, Ian, Bob and Dave wrote and recorded the "Today Is A Good Day" demo (on a tape recorder). At least one song on the demo had lyrics about actually fucking nuns." After a second demo the band returned in 1987 to CKMS to record their only EP with eleven songs (this one) in two hours for $30. 1.000 copies were pressed at World Records in Bowmanville and the record got a good review in MMR #49 (I've always enjoyed stuff like this: tight, to-the-point thrash with basic production and snappy riffing. Although I can't say this is remarkably original, it connects with charm, fun, and touches of songwriting quality. Very good! (Steve Spinali, MRR #49 • June 1987) and sold out in five months by mail order, mostly to Germany. The Nunfuckers disbanded after playing terribly at the University of Guelph in early 1988."  Well, what I can say is that the record is a decent Hardcore relic but the production is a bit dull, of course that could be due to the rip, which is not mine, but overall it is an important sound document of Canadian Punkrock. They also appear on some tape Compilations that received little attention.

V/A - It Came From InnerSpace 1983

Now an Edmonton Compilation which had a lot of interesting bands on it, not all Punkrock but really cool. A review first: This new Canadian compilation is very much like the English samplers that proliferated wildly in the ’78 epoch, in that it features a bunch of Pop bands and one or two token punk groups. Of the latter, SNFU produces two powerful mid-tempo gems with crunching guitars and sing-along choruses (including the classic “Real Men Don’t Watch Quincy”), while Down Syndrome offers a couple of raunchy garage Punkers. Of the pop bands, the Standards and the Thieves stand out above the wimpy pack by virtue of a heavier guitar sound and an unobtrusive ’60s tinge. The overall effect is rather refreshing in our current era of musical segregation. (Jeff Bale, MRR #12 • March 1984) All in all, a comfortable and stress-free selection that is perfect for cooking and I will now put it into practice and conjure up some meatballs, perhaps I will send you a small visual impression of this. But first I want to get one or teo beers to come in the right mood, while I'm working on another selfmade-sampler and yesterday I dusted off my place so the girls can come.

MALIBU KENS - Be My Barbie... 7'' 1981

"This is one of the first independent Punk 7Inches from Edmonton. Blank Generation might possibly have beaten them to the racks, but at this point Edmonton's best known Punk band, SNFU, didn't yet exist as such. The Malibu Kens formed in 1980 under the name Joey Did & The Necrophiliacs, and became the Malibu Kens by 1981. Shortly after the name change, the band's style changed from Punk to Pop. A very limited edition cassette of the early material was recorded after the name and stylistic change, released under the Joey Did & The Necrophiliacs name. The Malibu Kens were never very popular during their short lifetime, often relegated to being the unpaid opening act at most of their gigs, but they persevered and produced a number of recordings. In 1981 they released the Be My Barbie 7Inch which was recorded by Mike (vocals), Scott (guitars), Dennis (bass) and The Dobe (drums), co-produced by the band and Kim Uprigh of the Modern Minds, whose single was released in 1980. In 1982 they recorded the song Physical Poison for the Westwatch Compilation which was never released. A year later they recorded two songs for the It Came From InnerSpace Compi. In addition to these vinyl cuts, they also issued a number of basement demos & live recordings on cassette." (Steve Roby)

CULTURE SHOCK - Forever + Ever 2012

When I heard this band for the first time I was totally excited. Back then the music came out on the airwaves via KBD Records and I was immediately interested in more material from the boys. And the Japanese reissue label 1977 Records released this fantastic compilation twelve years ago with all their few studio songs plus live nuggets, the recordings of which are acceptable. This neat piece features not only great music but also a few pictures and a short biography and is really worth every damn cent. A bit info: Culture Shock was a four piece PowerPop/Punk from Vancouver and consisted of Brian (vocals), Steve (guitars), Gordon (bass), Rob (drums). They peppered their own material with energetic cover versions (especially during live performances) and initially gigging as The Zoo back in 1979, they changed their name to Culture Shock and in 1983 they recorded their only 7Inch (300 cpoies) which is today extremely rare and highly sought after. Overall, this CD is a joy to listen to and the incomparably emotional lyrics are worthy of all praise. Killer!

DISGUSTEENS - Nothing Personal EP 1998

The Disgusteens are a Canadian punk band that was formed in Vancouver in the early 1990s and consisted of Kelly (vocals), Jeff (guitars), Tyler (bass), Mark (drums). Unfortunately, Nothing Personal is their only EP on Longshot Music/DSS Records. Six energetic, aggressive power iffs with driving rhythms and provocative lyrics that often address socially critical topics make this little grab bag a hearty listening pleasure. The four have made a name for themselves in the Canadian punk scene and are known for their rousing live performances, their sound reflects the spirit of D.I.Y. culture, and they have developed a loyal fan base that appreciates their rebellious attitude and distinctive style. Their lyrics are often direct and unvarnished, making them an authentic voice within the punk movement. Overall, the Disgusteens are an important part of Canadian punk history and contribute to the diversity and creativity of the scene. If you are looking for powerful, pure hardcore sound, you should definitely listen to their music! Came in an edition of 1000 copies. They appeared on the 1998 Cock Sparrer: A Tribute To Our Favorite Droogies EP Compilation, where they contributed 'I Got Your Number'.

Strong record, don't miss it!

RIOT .303 - Crowd Control EP 1982

 

As you can see, the sunny, beautiful days are once again a thing of the past and everyday life is irrevocably there but these short breaks are important; if I didn't have them, I would die. Well, if I had tons of money I certainly wouldn't be a blogger, hahaha.... Anyway, maybe a beautiful maid will knock on my door and..... to today's post: Riot .303 were a four piece from Calgary and consisted of Ron (vocals), Al (guitars), Doug (bass), Mark (drums) and this is their only record, which came over via Cardiac, with four smashin' powerful Killers, after their break some members later went on to form Beyond Possession. A short review: Hey, it’s Punkrock that sounds very much like the Canuck SUBHUMANS, even down to the Wimpy Roy-style singing. Most the Punk bands in the US either wimped out or went thrash, leaving the last bastion of the older sound in England and the wilds of Canada, whence this group emerged. Fellas, it’s ’83, but your record is darn nice in a nostalgic sort of way. (Tim Yohannan, MRR #3 • Nov/December 1982) In 2022, Supreme Echo, a label that researches like scientists, brings out rare, unreleased treasures, released a compilation with further recordings by the band which made between 1981-83, including their full studio output, all from this EP and Thrasher’s "Skate Rock Vol. 1", plus nine unreleased songs. With an eight-page booklet with photos, art, and a full-band interview, two stickers and issued mostly on blue or green vinyl, a fucking few on red, all in all 550 copies with seventeen anthems.

V/A - 14 Years Ago [Ex-WildDevilRules Compilation] 2010

This bloody Fucker, as the title suggests, is created when my old blog was still active and that time I posted it under a different name, now fourteen years later I've changed a few songs and think it's become a bit better (the back cover is still the old). There were too many D-bands on it Compilation what I had already forgotten is, there are a lot of cover versions of my favorite D-Punk band from Mönchengladbach on it. True followers of this Blog know which combo I'm talking about, but the name isn't mentioned. Those who guess it will get a washing machine for free, hehe..... Most of the songs were released in the Eighties and pressed on rare various Compis and 7Inches and all are fucking cool! It is a speciality of mine to immortalize the best of them on such useless crap that you then listen to in the car, train, plane or wherever to boost your self-confidence. Well, at least that's my reason for creating such musical delights, no profit, no self-indulgence, only for the passion of Punkrock, the attitude to life, and that's why I'm happy to share it with you. So dear ones, my plane leaves in four hours and I hope, I come back. Cheers!

V/A - Attack Is Now Suicide 1988

A short appearance from me and in my mind is the next record, a fucking hot Compilation of the late Eighties and released in 1988 by the small but equally important German label Double A Records in collaboration with Americans from Phantom Records and is chock full of superb international Hardcore/Punk material with some exclusive highlights. US.Distress opens the musical ecstasy with an fucking energetic track and so it happens one after the other, short and intense songs (especially the Vatican Commandos & Dusk is a brilliant example with an unusual title and a rough sound and Dresden 45 contributes the longest track, which bears the band's name and creates a dark atmosphere). This beauty offers a diverse mix of aggressive and experimental sounds. Although not all tracks are equally strong, Attack Is Now Suicide is an interesting contemporary document of the Hardcore & Punk scene around the world of the late 1980s. The album also contains a folded insert with band photos and song lyrics which is not included within.

NOMEANSNO - Wrong 1989

It's time for a classic by a band that started in 1979 and thrilled me live several times with their sometimes jazzy and highly explosive sound. Wrong is the fourth album by NoMeansNo and was released through Alternative Tentacles. A bit info: Critic Martin Popoff described their music as "the mightiest merger between the hateful aggression of Punk and the discipline of Heavy Metal. Nomeansno's distinct hardcore punk sound, complex instrumentation, and dark, "savagely intelligent" lyrics inspired subsequent musicians. They are often considered foundational in the Punk Jazz and Post-Hardcore movements, and have been cited as a formative influence on the math rock and emo genres. This album is a blast from the first to the last note, powerful, dynamic, refreshing and hearty and shows the band in top form. Drummer John described it as the band's "most popular album by a country mile". When asked to speculate as to the reasons why Wrong enjoyed such relative success, John attributed it to the mainstream success of Nirvana and the rising popularity of alternative music:

"The kind of music we were playing, and then Nirvana before they got popular, and that kind of alternative...Punkrock was getting to that point where a lot of bands were just starting to get into that commercial breakthrough, and when Nirvana did, well of course that spelled the end of it all. But it sort of simmered to that point, and then people wanted to hear bands like Nirvana, which weren't Hardcore, not pop or rock, it was sort of more heartfelt music, and we were sort of caught up in that... In Europe especially, the music scene was just exploding. We completely attribute all of our success to going and playing in Europe. That's where all the buzz about us came from. We were touring throughout the States in the mid-80s, and we'd get a little bit of audience here and there, but after a couple of years in Europe, we started doing some big shows there, and all of a sudden, people in the States were coming out to our shows. And we went from getting paid $200 to getting paid $1000. It was just like that. You had to have the buzz, and then it all just kind of blew up. Every major label tried to sign every band, and then it became no longer an alternative, it sort of became co-opted by the mainstream and people moved on to hip hop and dub step and then everyone got sick of rock and roll and went to raves."

They released ten albums by 2016, I only know their first five, but NoMenasNo were one of the most extraordinary combos I was able to experience and are still worth listening to and always a good reason to buy a record. 👍

BEYOND POSSESSION - Is Beyond Possession 1986

Calgary's Beyond Possession with their debut album on Death Records/Metal Blade Records which is a bit louder and heavier than their Tell Tale Heart EP in my opinion and I regret having sold this slab many years ago. Fifteen amazing Thrash/HardcorePunk goodies have come together here with a slightly metallic touch like I liked to hear back then and rediscover today. Unfortunately they stuck to only one album, because after various line-up changes (particularly on guitar) they recorded demos for a second album in 1989 which indicated a more whimsical metal direction, but broke up without completing it. But 1996 a CD with all their recordings (Repossessed 1985-1989) were released on Melodiya Records. Solid stuff for breakfast I think, and maybe a little lunch later... Bon Appétit!

GENETIC CONTROL - First Impressions EP 1984

Genetic Control were formed New Year's Night 1984 in Montreal, the result of a drunken jam featuring Mike (vocals), Rob and Rob (guitars), Dougo (bass) and Mike (drums). After a three month break, they changed the line-up a litte and Polio Elvis (vocals), Duke & Teen Hunk Rob (guitars), Dick (bass), Lewis (drums) recorded then their great and only vinyl EP First Impressions (500 copies) which also was released by themselves (they recorded songs for an album, but there were no master tapes made, as the band opted instead for just a cassette recording, as they could not afford to pay for the multi-track tape, a decision the band and many fans have regretted over the years, so unfortunately only this 7Inch were made. The band was supposed to go on tour with the album in 1985 but shortly after, failing to release their LP, they disbanded. The EP shot up high among collectors and that eventually led to Bootlegs and an official re-release on Return To Analog in 2021 with bonus cuts (limited edition of 500 numbered copies as well). Also interesting is a CD compilation, Brave New World, on Sonik's Chicken Shrimp from 2005 which also comes with interesting pieces. You see, Genetic Control made not much records, but remain with an excellent impression, and aren't definitely soap bubbles and you can book them for a few Compilations invites as well.

V/A - Bloodstains Across The World #7 2022

Well it's time for one more Bloodstains Compilation and this one is cheap like the other "from all over the world" (from #3) and kept in a simple CD-R format, but I'm pleased that there are always maniacs who share their things, in contrast to other arrogant Assholes who defame such small people even though they don't know them at all and believe that they contribute a part of underground culture with their so-called professional Compilations (hahaha...), they just have to get their ass kicked and I give them a big Fuck You! I prefer to take these because the originals aren't tangible and I am grateful for this and everyone who thinks the same way will be enthusiastic with this cheap but cool one.

PRIVATE SCHOOL - Lost In Action EP 1979

Lost Canadian Punkrock classic which was re-released by Supreme Echo in 2018 and Private School was a Vancouver-based combo, formed 1977 originally as an Art School band and consisted of Maddy (vocals/violin), Dave & Ron (guitars), Tony (bass), Walter (drums), Jaime (sax) and released their only EP on Full Friction Records in 1979 with four fantastic songs and the use of two atypical instruments deserves special mention, which are excellently incorporated. They played live with well-known bands in their short life span and creative differences lead to a break-up in the early Eighties. The second edition was pressed 500 times with three bonus cuts and includes a 12-page booklet with flyers, photos and their story. A real collector's item and certainly hard to find nowadays.

JELLO BIAFRA with NOMEANSNO - The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy 1991

Kick off March and to a record which is still fresh after more than thirty years and revitalizes the Punk in you when it's a little rusty. Well, when I bought the album in Hamburg back then, I was of course very excited and wanted to know if Jello Biafra, who had two years before jammed with D.O.A. and conjured up a superb album, would top this with his second trip to Canada, this time to Victoria where NoMeansNo was at home back then. And the result is one more musical and optical highlight in all respects. Eight energetic songs plus Jello's cynically apocalyptic words, that sums up this brilliant record. I would particularly like to mention the artwork, which was again designed by Winston Smith and connects the history with reality and let us see that not much has changed and mankind is stagnating in its actions and thinking, profit-oriented and without regard for losses, especially nature and minorities suffer vehemently and all the generations that will follow can be happy. When man entered this planet, the earth was doomed. Nevertheless, I want to close with an apt review from my favorite site for this, because they can do that:

"After working with Canada's D.O.A. on his previous collaboration album, Jello hooked up with fellow Canucks and Alternative Tentacles signees NoMeansNo for an abrasive, brilliantly skewed thrash of a record, The Sky Is Falling & I Want My Mommy. NoMeansNo, with their angular art aggression, makes for a more distinct vehicle for Jello than D.O.A., bursting with power and screwy inventiveness both. The title track alone is worth the price of admission; Jello's rant about nuclear satellites and paranoia perfectly is matched by the music, and in ways the track serves as the missing link between an older style of Punk and the work of underground '90s acts like Unwound. White-hot guitar lines scrape and snarl over the stuttering rhythm while Jello rages through as only he can. "Chew" starts with minimal guitar snarls and whines floating around a low-key rhythm before fully springing to life, alternating between epic explosions and low-key tension over the song's length. Other tracks have a more straightforward, thrash feeling but still kick along very nicely, often throwing in odd solos or other touches to prevent sound-alike disease. Jello's pithy way around any number of subjects doesn't fail him here, with everything from recontextualized religion ("Jesus Was A Terrorist") to the joys of white-knuckle trips down mountain rivers ("Ride The Flume" with its lyrics "forget log rides in amusement parks, this one's 50 miles long!"). NoMeansNo's Ramones-worshipping alter egos, the Hanson Brothers, sneak in for the song "Bad," which is delivered in appropriately quick time, though Jello avoids sounding like Joey Ramone. The album wraps up with two great stormers, "Sharks In The Gene Pool", which constantly shifts tempos and feels over its length, and "The Myth Is Real-Let's Eat", with a wickedly snarling bassline that helps carry it along. Jello lets go in full effect over both, with all of the energy that fans would come to expect." (Ned Raggett)

One note before you ask, my copy doesn't have a lyric sheet for some fucking reason... well, I think more words aren't needed. In the same year, one more short group therapy convened, Tumor Circus, and is one more pleasure at own risk.

D.O.A. - Talk Minus Action Equals Zero 1991

Time for some live stuff and this little recording from Canada's D.O.A. was captured at Club Soda on December 21st 1989 in D.O.A.'s native Vancouver and released via Restless Records. I certainly don't need to tell you much about these veterans, powerful and dynamic songs with corresponding angry words characterize the music of the quartet, at this gig with Joey (vocals/guitars), Chris (guitars), Brian (bass) and Jon (drums) they deliver a perfect performance. Talk Minus Action Equals Zero is among the albums that demonstrate how exciting and vital the Canadians can be on-stage and together they prove quite riveting on such left-leaning, angrily socio-political rants. This performance was recorded eleven years after D.O.A.'s formation, and it's clear that the band softened their blow very little during those years. (Alex Henderson) - If you like tough, straightforward music in a fast, loud, and hard-hitting style with a pronounced sense of humor plus a strong progressive political stripe, then this the right sound for you.

A delicious menu will follow shortly and in all my bliss there is an unofficial treat that will take us across the atlantic to Canada and it's the second volume with angry Canadians and this bloody sucker is full of thirty splendid KBD rarities from 1977-1983, and this fucking Compilation pees an excellent yellow color in almost seventy-eight minutes (are there any champagne friends here?). - Dear followers, I hope you will be satisfied with what you have found here, a warm welcome to all newcomers and to all my friends/visitors:  a happy new year & see you in 2023! 🍸

SAGA - Silent Knight 1980

It's always a pleasure to put on a Saga record, on the one hand I like their music and a lot of good vibes start to flow, on the other hand it takes my mind off things. Silent Knight is their third album and after Chadd was out, Jim became the band's new keyboarder and with him they found the right musician and in this formation their level of awareness also swept over to Europe, not with this album, which was excellently received in Canada (is certified Gold there and reached #42 in the charts), but finally with the following one. The fuller production, which in my opinion is too flat in the predecessor, can be clearly heard in the eight goodies, and the songs themselves are catchier and more dynamic, rock more succinctly, and show the evidence of the group's virtuosity. Three more albums followed for me, before they aroused my disinterest with Behaviour (1985). Have a relaxed weekend!

It's finally starting today, the 2022 World Cup, and I'm a little happy because I'm a big fan of this ball sport, even if it's going to be the most controversial. On the other hand, the following compilation, which you can now enjoy, is not controversial and there is a suitable description for it that sums it all up. "Taking its title from the legendary brainless anthem by Vom, it's not hard to imagine the contents of this compilation. On offer are eighteen tracks of pure, untamed, moronic, KBD-style-Punk in all its glorious rawness. Focusing mainly on the US - but also presenting bands from the UK, Denmark and the Philippines - and spanning the period between 1977 and 1984, this is an absolute must for all Killed By Death enthusiasts. Punkrock done the way it was meant to, shameless, raw and annoying. You know you need it!" That's the way it is folks, maybe there will be a second Volume coming and until then enjoy the frosty sunday with hot lost nuggets.

VOÏVOD - Killing Technology 1987

The time for cuddling is over and I'm stepping up four gears and treating you to some loud & brutal noises on this fucking Monday!! And it's not just Speed/Thrash Metal maniacs who get their money's worth. Killing Technology is the third album by Canada's four piece Voïvod, released again via Karl Walterbach's label Noise Records and it is clearly more "melody" in the seven songs. Info: After the release of the previous album Rrröööaaarrr, the tour to the album followed, which should end in Berlin to record the next studio album. Because of this, guitarist Piggy wrote the album's songs before the start of this tour. Harris Johns' work with Einstürzende Neubauten had sparked an interest in industrial music among Voïvod's musicians. During recording and mixing, bassist Blacky brought his ideas to Piggy's composed tracks. For the first time, the texts formed an overall concept for the further development of the band's character, which is about a journey through the Voïvod with a spaceship. The Voïvod stands for the inability of mankind to control the increasing mechanization of the world. Killing Technology represents an advancement of the bands skills on their instruments as well as in stylistic direction. I say this record is one of the band's best albums and when I ripped the slab, I started Pogo around my apartment like I'm at a concert, ecstatic and carefree, and this music push me away from all the daily shit that's always present.

Believe me, if you want to clear your head or have emotional differences, put this music on and you're alive for a brief moment and you know what really matters!
