V/A - Oi! Rare & Exotica Vol.2 1999

Let's continue with the second unofficial Volume of massive rare Oi! goodies and again released via Teenage Rebel Records and the selection is excellently cast with twenty-three tracks, which stretched out the middle finger towards to the boring establishment. This time with an info sheet and a few words from it: "Again a lot of more or less unknown bands from all over the world are featured with recordings from 1981-1998. Everybody should know the 80's Oi! bands from England, so there's no need to present them here again like on many other Oi! Compis. So discover something new, have fun and always remember: The world is big, manigfold and real Oi! is anti-rascist (which doesn't mean it's leftwing)." Together with Volume 1 this record offers a lot of exclusive material, good songs and every band doesn't sound dull or wooden, what means in the end: no stupid music goulash. Get both!

IMAGEN - ...Y Ahora Qué? EP 1989

This slab is not for sensitive ears and will break your chair legs and we're talkin' about the only record by Imagen. An interesting three piece, Giovanny (vocals/guitars), Fredy (bass/vocals), Disney (drums/vocals), Hardcore combo from Medellín and one of the best exponents of that old but great scene and if any record deserves the Hardcore seal of approval, it's definitely this one! Unfortunately the boys haven't released much besides the single, but their contributions to the Punk Medallo Vol.2 tape, which saw the light of day in 1988, are a must and this Compilation gives a fantastic overview of the underground scene in Colombia and is highly recommended. Nine wild, raw songs shot in your ears and burn into your nervous system and every Punk in the cold north doesn't need a sauna (and I'm freezing at ten degrees and I'm already stiff, I live in the wrong country...).

LA PESTILENCIA - La Muerte... Un Compromiso De Todos 1989

A really fantastic album is the debut album of this band and I'm not really a connoisseur of South American punk, few bands come from there and you don't even get records quick in the next record store, my focus is more in Europe or Oceania, much more was produced in Brazil by excellent bands. But what the four gentlemen, Dilson (vocals), Francisco (guitar), Héctor (bass) and Jorge (drums), deliver here is worth all honors, eighteen splendid tracks as I'm used to from this continent; catchy, squeezed, fast and an outstanding singer. Packed in an elaborate artwork and via Mort-Discos released. On the back stands "limited edition" but I don't know how many... anyway... a bit wiki-info about them: La Pestilencia were founded 1986 in the capital Bogotá by Héctor and Dilson, the latter being the only permanent member of the group since its inception. The group is recognised as Colombia's first punk band and have been acclaimed for their influence on Colombia's alternative music scene, with critics noting Díaz's lyrics concerning social injustice, the violence perpetrated during Colombia's civil war, political corruption, the influence of foreign governments, and environmental concerns. To date they made six albums and the band is apparently still active.

V/A - Punk Will Never Die! 1994

The next compilation brings us punk rock from around the world and let us see what the 90ziger had. The LP was produced in collaboration between two very good German labels, Höhnie Records and Nasty Vinyl, and the result is another superb selection of damn good punkrock songs. It's difficult for me here to put any band especially highlighted because all participants deliver here first class stuff.. Interesting especially the exotics from the Philippines and Colombia, I mean that's true punk underground and who can say from these countries have many records, unless you live there. Another plus is the beautiful elaborate booklet inside which is a poster, full with lyrics, pictures and contact informations...I like that! - Musically is here is anything from melodic punkrock, hardcore and funny tunes. Try a song and you know what I mean. Very good record from Germany with awesome music.
