V/A - Hardcore Vol.1 1988

This nice litte compilation was released via Starving Missile and one more Volume 1 of which there is no second, as so often. Mostly German bands present plus two from immediate neighborhood. Twelve, partly only here, solid punkies with the two, for me ingenious EA80 songs, especially Drums Over London which kicks in the original version is awesome. But even the other bands contribute to a not boring listening pleasure, no fillers on board and a top record, 1000 copies exist.

2.The Common Man - ARTLESS

3.Drums Over London - EA80

4.Straße Nach Nirgendwo - AIDSCATS

5.Kein Anlass Zur Romantik - AIDSCATS

SNIPERS - From The Tombs EP 2001

Their first EP, Blood Sucking Freaks is already a killer and the Snipers from Denmark brings with their second release, also on the grand Kick'n'Punch Records label, another Brainkiller out. And on it nine snotty garage-trashy punk rock numbers which ensures all over the line for a pleasant atmosphere. The right soundtrack when you traveling to a concert and the beer tastes again so fuckin' good. Unfortunately, far too soon disbanded but they left us with their two EP's which are little masterpieces of the Danish underground from the 21st century. Amen!

ELECTRIC DEADS - Anti-Sex EP 1982

This is not really new in Blogland but now I have the desire to hear this fuckin' great Danish combo: The Electric Deads, a four piece hardcore punk band from Espergærde, Fredensborg and Humlebæk, they formed in 1981 by Nils (bass), Kevin (guitar + vocal), Bibi (vocal) and Michael (drums) and they released three awesome 7inches and all are damn cool. This is, I think, their second one on Electro Static Records and Bibi's voice is of course outstanding to the fast sound. No wonder they are a must contribute on the Bloodstains Across Denmark compilation. Small country, unforgettable music.

BRATS - 1980 Brats

Let's start this Sunday with a Metal post and I use some info from discogs because I'm in a hurry: "Brats was a Danish band from Copenaghen formed in 1977 as a punk band. After recording the songs "Dreams", "I Do What I Wanna Do" and "Magazine" for Danish Pære Punk compilation, the band split up in 1979, not much later reforming as a heavy metal band (playing a hybrid of punk and metal) with new members. This line-up signed a contract with CBS in 1980 and released the promotional debut single B-Brains and one self-titled full length album. The band later transformed into the pure non-punkish heavy metal band Mercyful Fate." If you want more then get the Lost Tapes compilation too - Not a bad record, eleven nice metal pieces, including two punky ones.

WARM GUNS - Instant Schlager 1980

Danish Pop/Rock band 1978-1983, based in Århus, the second largest city in Denmark. Though a quartet, no doubt the central figure of the band was Lars Muhl, the band's prime composer and vocalist and the structure loose as the band members played in other groups as well. The inspiration came from the British early new wave/punk sound like so many other European bands. Their debut album is a brilliant mix of punk/pop/wave & rock'N'roll goodies. The band had a modest national hit with "The Young Go First" in 1980, but never made it really big to a level matching Muhl's writing skills, that was very much inspired by the likes of Elvis Costello. The band had it's last major performance at the 1983 Roskilde Festival, a concert released as the bands 5th and final album. In 1984 the band broke up. In 1985 Lars Muhl released his first solo album. The other members of band went on to play with some of the major danish bands the following years.

PSYCHED UP JANIS - @ Roskilde 05.07.2014

Well, let's come to a very fuckin' special one and I promise: if you love this combo or you only know the Raveonettes then you will be amazed! Psyched Up Janis, my favourite danish band were surprisingly invited to the Roskilde Festival 2014 and with what they come across is just excellent. Nineteen powerful jewels which shows a very good overview of their albums plus rare B-side tracks of their 7inches, for me an absolute blast. All three gents in a top playin' mood and the sound is bombastic. I've banned this immediately on CD and it runs at full volume almost every day. This is music as I like, melodic, hard/soft, audible anytime and lyrics which rarely heard nowadays. Yeah, this is great stuff and this is cool and I regret to experience them not live. Thx to those who recorded and shoot the cool pictures which decorates the artwork, of course done by myself, and if you guess where I shoot the front cover then I will send you prompt a copy of this damn killer.

DE HØJE HÆLE ‎- Skal Vi Aldrig Videre? 2010

De Høje Hæle (The High Heels) is a punk rock group from Copenhagen and were formed in 2007. Rarely has a Danish debut album been more anticipated than this. This continues musically where their amazing first s/t EP left off, with more infectious insanely catchy punk rock tunes. Maximum Rock'n'Roll had this to say in their review: "Party DEVO, Party '70s powerpop, Party '60s garage-punk party dane. Soooooooo catchy" and Soundvenue called it "A goofy and a masterful candidate for this year's Danish album." - Visit their MySpace site for more info. - This edition is limited to just 200 copies and was only be sold at their release-party for the album in Copenhagen. An awesome album that makes fun and shock your neighbours.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Europe #2 2000

One more today and let's have a look on Europe. On this trip we're back in the years 1978-1982 and meet fifteen rare punk blasts with dirty sound and useless lyrics which no one wants listen to. The Scandinavian region is here the most represented because the people there have nothing better to do as make nasty noises in any cellars to terrorize decent well-behaved neighbors. Even in the south the so-called outsiders leads to this tradition and celebrates gruesome sounds too. Occasion for another civil war? NO, simple punkrock we named it and have you a problem with us fuck your brains. Don't miss Volume 1 of this horrible music. I love you too...

COLUMBIAN NECKTIES - Yes Ma'Am EP 2011

Holy Shit, here's a record which certainly meet your neighbors at your door. This is a loud dirty garage awesome punk record with three kick-in-your-face smashers. One of the best garage bands in Europe. The Columbian Neckties are founded in 1999 in Aalborg, Denmark. They describe their music as rock'n'roll-inspired punk rock, in the press they are often compared with the New Bomb Turks or the Saints. After first appearances in Denmark, also on the "Adios Moshable Festival" in Copenhagen, the band toured regularly in Europe, 2004, performances in Japan and the United States were realized. They accompanied the Hellacopters on their last European tour and have been an integral part of the Scandinavian music scene. From the label side I must quote this sentence: "No one shreds the guitar faster than Henrik and no one comes close to Jeppes vocal delivery. Everything just seems to fit perfectly with the Columbian Neckties. This is Punk – Punk and not Rock in disguise. Garage will always be Garage and that means getting your hands dirty. Their shows never fall short from being total revelations and are cramped with energy to an extent, that you could illuminate the Autobahn at night, if we were able to feed that energy into our power circuits." And really this band fucks every lame ass. They have already three albums out, all at Sounds of Subterrania Records and I think I must buy an LP soon. Great record, great music!!!!

HJERTESTOP - Vi Ses I Helvede 2008

I love denmark punk and Hjertestop had the raw snotty elements and the amazing melodies (like No Hope For The Kids or Gorilla Angreb). This is the loooong awaited debut album from the K-town heroes and of course expectations are higher than Amy Winehouse on a night out in Camden. Ten raging new hardcorepunk blasts in the vein of early 80s classic American Hardcore like Reagan Youth or D.I., but essentially it's the magnus opus of the K-town scene. They are pure perfection, packed with piss and vinegar yet fiercely catchy and memorable. A more than worthy follow up to the debut 'Vi Ses I Helvede' here are Twenty-Three minutes of pure hardcorepunk bliss. If you think Danish punk reached it's peak around 'Pære Punk', you're basically full of shit and in desperate need of psychiatric help. This record is the proof.

MORAL - And Life Is 1984

Just the right time to complete a lonely morning with this sound, and it's like a dream and one of my favourite SynthPop albums. Right now because I'm in the mood for, I know why .. Moral were from Århus and members are singer Hanne Winterberg, Guitarist Marco De Andreis and Keyboardplayer Ingolf Brown and what they here recorded is simply delicate. Hannes voice is so sweet and she takes you to any place in your heart. You might think I'm too romantic and yes, I am. Musically she is supported by driving minor keys and sawing guitars. Reminds me a bit of the English band Cranes which are also brilliant. Moral released their first songs on a tape called Dance Of The Dolls in 1981 and their second Whispering Sons in 1982 on Kubus Kassettes, two years later their only album on Arp Grammofon. 2007 came a sixteen song CD compilation on Karma Music out. I mean it's pity that only a few know this band and I unfortunately can't tell much about them but what I know is their music is heavenly and for me an oasis for a time-out from living. In this file are the whole album plus songs from the Whispering Sons tape. Try this.

Volume 7 scouring the globe to distant countrys and starts in the United States, a short visit to Canada and a longer stay in good old Europe. Eighteen bands, eighteen rare punk rock nuggets is called the baggage and it would be a significant loss to lose some on the road. So beware of luggage thieves and locker tricksters. Tickets are at a reasonable price just a click away (you have to be quick). And now, enjoy a pleasant journey and come back soon. Thanks for your attention. Ende!

DREAM POLICE - In Combat EP 1986

Well this rare piece of wax was for a long time on my Wanted-List and I don't know who sent this in but many many thx: Dream Police was established 1978 in Århus/Denmark. At that time, the band was under heavy influence of the english punk scene, two tracks on the Pære Punk compilation from 1979 include the punkiest songs the band has ever released under the name Dream Police. During the years members have been in and out, but Johnny Concrete seems to be the holder of the spirit. The band has adjusted to styles over the years, and some of the material has a more heavy metal style. The sound of today is more hybrid agressive, and you might see them live in Denmark. Overall, the band released three EP's and their debut 12'' called "Demise" from 1981. They're present on further compilations, noteworthy is the Hardcore Vol.1 on Starving Missile from 1988 with their fantastic song 'Rudolf Hess'. So all four songs are okay and even if they're very heavy metal the band have their roots in punk rock. Green vinyl on No Aarhus Records, megarare and now in the right place.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Europe 1996

Friday morning and my computer mouse is broken and I torture myself as I write this line. Anyway, let's start with this delicious compilation by rare 7Inches from Europe and except the Aheads one are all complete, A and B side I mean, I think the same concept was taken for the Killed By Death # 77 comp. - well, we need sometimes something new and in these rapid days we all have to be flexible, so the big machine requires that....all right, musically brilliant, artwork & infos perfect, and the back cover says: 500 copies, but with bootlegs nothing's true....only the music.... who cares? (and don't forget, flexibility)

V/A - Bite It! 12'' 2006

Now a record, I think, which every collector's heart pumps faster (or not your fuckin' gits) and what I doesn't held often in my shaky hands. Six bands with six exclusive songs which were only published here. The 12'' is packaged in a special "shoppers"-board, this provided with beautiful colored on a silk screen cover and was limited to 200 copies. Musically we hear punkrock from four nations. Two of these sounds a little pop, and with Amos (Iranian descent - very interesting) is a small underground pop star right at the start. What bothers me, there's no any info or lyrics inside & that's make the whole box unkind again (yes, I'm very very critical and that makes me surly). Presumably the label Sounds Of Subterrania went out of money ... whatever. All in all, a successful whole and a nice idea. This is 100% sub-culture and I think that counts, maybe you like it :))

1.Eye One Two - COLUMBIAN NECKTIES

2.Try Let It Go - THE CARNATION

3.If I Was A Car - THE DEVIL IN MISS JONES

ASBEST - Klaustrofobi EP 2005

Like their previous 7Inch "Nyt Blod" from 2003, Copenhagen's Asbest offers us with these record once again beautiful hardcore thrash punkies in the vein of Discharge or early Black Flag. The anger & passion sonicate the harsh sound and the gruff vocals round off this perfect mixture, if that’s your thing don't hesitate to grap this. Released via the great Danish label Kick N' Punch Records and this melodic goodie is not only for fans of K-town hardcore interesting, pick this up or get fucked - Cooool. Achja, two more bloody asskicker on the tasty København I Ruiner compilation.

LOST KIDS - Bla Bla 1980

Now an album of my favorite ones. Bla Bla is the first longplayer by the Danish Lost Kids from Copenhagen. Founded by Jan Jet 1978 after a trip to Britain. Danish cover versions of first generation punk songs were frequent in the early repertoire, which were revitalized by Jan Jets fresh word-games. With Sods the most famous band from this small Scandinavian country. After two 7inches, Født Som Nul and Cola Freaks, the record was released via Medley Records and is with seventeen songs perfectly loaded. What I particularly like is this record has a great variety, female/male singing, short punk goodies, reggae and a little pop stuff and the singalong factor is enormously high. The use of many instruments is positive as well and garnished here and there with decent short guitar solos. This should persuade you. Also necessarily: Bloodstains Across Denmark. Give It To Me!
