VI - The Triumph Of Death EP 1987

A little undiscovered Hardcore EP with seven 'Tiltcore' attacks by VI on Loony Tunes Records. Probably from Copenhagen the band consisted of Dimse (vocals), Marco (guitars), Hans (bass), Pønk (drums) and here burns the Luzie. Words in Danish and English, these stunning songs are of a qualitative coarseness in just under twenty minutes. More appearances of the band are rare but they made it on some compis before they disappeared into the well-deserved punk retirement. Their legacy: a very powerful and great record, you want to play it at least twice and I would say; just the right sound to unwrap the Christmas presents.

COLA FREAKS - s/t LP 2010

Cola Freaks from Århus, named themselves after a song by the Danish punk veterans Lost Kids, are fully on the current wave of hot Danish bands that have their roots in the late 70s/early 80s, but use them to develop the sound of today. The band was formed in late 2006 with former members of bands Bitch & Rats! In August 2007 they went to America at an impressive two-month tour that covered 39 states in total. At that time the band had existed for less than a year and only released one EP. Chimera released their second EP in May 2008 and in late summer same year, the band toured again the USA, this time as opener for Jay Reatard. Eleven songs on this album that blows me right away, the lyrics are in Danish, musically a very distinctive synthie/organ sound pervades bleak gruff Punkrock, that somehow sounds retro but also owns impulsive post-Punk-rhythms and cold arty Wave-aesthetics. In the end, melodic catchy '77 garage punk tunes how's I like from these hot Scandinavians. TOP!

V/A - Bloodstains Across The World #4 2019

The coldest month in this country knocks and to leave it outside, we heat up the first day with more rarities of the glory years 1977-1985 from across the world. Successful selection again, but it's a shame that the presentation is very sparse. Of course, the lack of money is responsible, but always using the same artwork and just changing the titles is not particularly creative. This could be better as well with little resources in my opinion. Well, I don't wanna complain, but criticizing is allowed. Meanwhile there are #5 and #6 out and will surely follow this year. We can be curious how long the world will continue to supply us with material. Enjoy!

MISANTHROPIC CHARITY - My Friend EP 2017

I'm very busy converting music so that I only can find now muse for the blog, but it's worth the wait: 350 copies exist from this EP with three songs which were recorded at MediaSound Studios in spring 1987 and released via No Plan Records. Misanthropic Charity were Danish punx from Copenhagen and formed by ex-members of Electric Deads & Enola Gay and consisted of Bibi (vocals), Anderz (guitar), Lars (bass), Michael (drums). They play melodic, powerful and intense music and weren't active for too long, they released one album and a demo, which is featured on this EP here. Now breakfast and sehen was noch geht!

GATECRASHERS - Desillusioned EP 1980

Only record by the Gatecrashers from Denmark, a very short-lived band (1979-1980). They were part of the DIY movement & released this bloody sucker via the legendary Irmgardz label (singer Kenan was part of the founders), they arranged their own concerts, designed their own posters and had their own fanzine. The band consisted of members Ken Revoltaire (Kenan Seeberg - vocals), Martin Crash Accident (Martin Lind - guitar), Carsten Crewcut (Ole Nyegaard - Farfisa), Peter Durup (bass, 1979-1980), Ole Dreyer (bass, 1980-81 ), Torben Østergaard (drums), Henrik Halvor (drums, loosely attached), Hans Brydegaard (drums, loosely attached) and Lene (Aleine Stern). The band played for several punk concerts "Concert Of The Moment", "NÅ!!80" and "Concerto De Nobrainos Insanos" and regularly at the Danish punk places Rockmaskiner, Saltlageret and Huset in Magstræde. They were inspired by the Stranglers and Doors. One of the hallmarks of them was that the band often had televisions standing on stage which they smashed with an ax great posture during the song "TV & Radio People". On some cool compilations present, one of them Bloodstains Across Denmark. Great KBD stuff!

FRESHLY - Air (Quoth She) 1986

Now a re-upp from the unfortunately inactive Phoenix Hairpins blog which was first posted by Curious in 2007 and I want to adopt his words here: "Danish band Freshly originally started as Freshly Riots. As Freshly Riots they released two records. The first is the Delightfully Fresh EP in 1982. Second release is the Hope album released in 1984. This album contains eleven tracks of punk inspired by early Stranglers. For the second album 'Air (Quoth She)', they shortened the name to Freshly and went for a more postpunk sound, with some hints to Killing Joke. All records were released on their own Bondeskiver label. Another release on this label is the 'Complication' comp. slab (maybe soon) with ten punk & new wave bands from Denmark as War Of Destruction, Electric Deads and Sods." Last strong record of this great band whose music evolved from snotty punk to melodic numbers.

LOST KIDS - Live Copenhagen 2005

Ok, the response to yesterday's post is modest and I admit is a matter of taste. Let's start today's cold gray Sunday with an excellent live gig by the Danish Lost Kids which was recorded in Copenhagen. Connoisseurs know they have released two albums, some 7Inches and compilation tracks in the 80's and how it came to this concert eludes my knowledge. Anyway, the sound quality is excellent and powerful and presents the band in top form, was certainly a nice show. Good start for breakfast, continue ripping vinyl.

V/A - Cultural Compost Pit! 1985

Pretty awesome tape from Mothra Productions with thirty five bands from around the world with huge tophits. Excellent selection I can only say!, a brilliant Hardcore Punk onslaught pulled by rare 7Inches and other secret sources with nice little info-sheet makes this an excellent stew with hot spices and bite-sized chunks, add a slice of rye bread and beer and it's done... but beware! breaks through well, so don't forget toilet paper.

V/A - Killed By Trash 2 2008

Three years after Volume 1 the small label P.Trash Records bang out a worthy second part with twenty more old classics in a new raw sound, another chance to listen to an international bunch of contemporary bands doing some killing versions of songs by obscure bands from the Stone Age of Punkrock. Most of the bands are relatively unknown to me and its nice to search for more slab of them and sometimes there is a real highlight underneath (Killerlady, Cola Freaks). Comes with detailed liner notes, limited to 1000 copies. Listen to the whole album and the lovely melodies of:

PSYCHED UP JANIS - Vanity EP 1996

Second EP from this Danish combo from Sønderborg with four songs, two from their brilliant debut album 'Swell' and the flip has two live songs which were recorded at Roskilde Festival 1995 and only on this Bitch. I don't know why this band received little resonance internationally, one reason for that may Nirvana were that time the non-plus-ultra in this genre and everyone just listened to their music, on the other hand probably no one looked at the little Denmark and therefore, attention was covered. My girlfriend that time was deeply rooted in Denmark and recorded some of the band's songs on tape for me (I liked them instantly) and then in our vacation in Odense I had the opportunity to buy some albums. And each is a small masterpiece. Psyched Up Janis at home in the typical grunge section, loud & just as hard then Seattle (not so adapted) and their first self-financed EP I Died In My Teens was released in 1995 and one year later this one here. Overall they released five albums and in 1999 the band was history. I can only recommend to buy their albums, each is worth the Euros. Jakob Jørgensen (bass) later formed the band Knallert. Martin Bjerregaard (drums) toured and recorded with Australian punk-band The Saints and later joined the band Racetrack Babies. Sune (vox & guitars) has played with surf-band Tremelo Beer Gut and occasionally with Sort Sol. In 2002 he presented his new band The Raveonettes with Sharin Foo. Excellent record from an excellent Combo - Get It!!

VOXPOP - 2 1981

Here is the second record, also appeared on Genlyd Records, by this Danish powerpop combo Voxpop with their charmin' singer Elizabeth. On the debut album the punk factor was more intense while the pop sound on this slab is more in the foreground. The songs so therefore rippling past me with little inspiration and no real highlight. I don't know why the power, freshness and enthusiasm from the debut album were not continued. As if the band made a deal with a major so the songs sound. I mean, if you listen to their first album and compare that with this then you're disappointed. At least I feel that way. Reminds me a little of the fourth album by the Upstarts "Still From The Heart", you know. The statutory concept album that broke off my feet. Maybe was the case here. - Well, the band prove talent and maybe it was changed with their third album.

V/A - Sauerkraut & Smørrebrød 1986

Starting Sunday with a german/danish collaboration of bands. Three of each country. The songs are already partially published (L.U.L.L.), the rest, as far as I know, can't be found elsewhere. Knübbe Platten brought out this rare compilation, their first and only release and next to the brilliant cover there are fourteen songs with a pretty good punkiesound and rather average lyrics, (I mean especially the German ones, hahaha) but the boys have a lot of humor and we need this kind of humor in this cold grey world, especially in splendid Germoney. Well anyway, I like the record, no vital ceralie, check out for yourselfs, maniacs...

LOST KIDS - Bla Bla 2 1981

And more record today by Copenhagen's Lost Kids and this is their second and last one, again on Medley Records and unfortunately the slab is not quite impressive as Bla Bla 1 and I play with the idea of selling them. The songs ripple without emotions and I am really disappointed, from the eleven songs are two or three really cool but the rest is lame and not my cup of tea, even a trumpet is used so what the fuck? Too much pop and the band lost their aggression and hardness. Well, somehow I had a different memory but now... listen best to yourself and write how you find it. I'm going to take a shower, then soccer and later a gig in the waggon. Cheers!

CITY-X - s/t LP 1985

Well, if you a little bit familiar with danish punk then you should know City-X, listen to the Bloodstains Across Denmark and the 2004 Elektriske Svin compilations. After three decent 7Inches Irmgardz Records released in 1985 the bands only full length and they are with this nine songs far far away from their punk roots. I honestly can't understand why and the change brought nothing special out. I would not even call it New Wave, sounds more like lame pop shit. A real disappointment in my opinion, why then post you will ask? Sometimes such music is okay and it's a rare record and maybe a few like this but I must say, it ripples like a dripping faucet. Anyway, City-X were a very good punk band and when we talk of early danish punk they are an important part of it. Tune 4 and 7 prove this a little and plus points for the pretty artwork.

V/A - Kick Your Mama's Ass 1996

OK Leute, now we meet a fantastic bootleg which is peppered with eighteen raw and furious punk nuggets from around the world and a label called Reverendo Moon Records from Italy, certainly another synonym for an KBD maniac, pressed this compilation in an edition of 500 copies to the surface. Excellent mix of songs which mark the punk sound between 1977-1981 and you can say what you want: The music was at that time simply better and I wish I had been part of it. Well, no matter. All infos written on the back cover, superb record, let the drugs flow into your brain!

NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS - Das Reich 7'' 2003

One of my favourite bands here and I recommend you to buy their stuff wherever you see a record. Some info from wikipedia: No Hope for the Kids is a Danish punk band that originated from the punkculture evolving around the Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen and they were active from 2003-2007. Kasper Maarbjerg had earlier played in the punkbands Hul and Asbest, while the drummer Peter Bonneman is a former member of Amdi Petersens Armé. No Hope for the Kids plays a type of punk that is influenced by early English punk pre-hardcore, also incorporating heavy rock elements. The lyrics of the songs, sung in both English and Danish, evolves around war, death and depression. The group achieved some popularity in the hardcore punk scene, both in Denmark and abroad, mostly by word of mouth when it released its first single, especially in the United States. The band, in addition to other bands like Gorilla Angreb and Amdi Petersens Armé, was part of a wave of interest abroad for Danish punk. This led to tours both in Europe and the USA. Ronni Dybdahl and Kasper Maarbjerg also plays in the spoof band The Natzees. Their debut 7'' Das Reich from 2003, with a first pressing of 300, was quickly sold out and are now a collector's item sold for exorbitant prices at auction sites like eBay. But there is a 2nd pressing on white vinyl, too, but those are even rarer. The band's debut album was released on vinyl in 2003 by the now defunct Danish label Kick'n'Punch. Titled No Hope for the Kids, it is sometimes wrongly labelled as Storkøbenhavn because the bandmembers on the coverphoto is placed next to the citylimits sign with Storkøbenhavn written on it. The album was released on CD in 2004 by the American label Feral Ward. 2006 saw the release of the Angels Of Destruction 7'' on the label Backwards Masking. The song 'Angels Of Destruction' had previously been released in 2003 on the Danish compilation København I Ruiner on the Kick'n'Punch label. In 2006 the song Treblinka appeared on the punk-compilation Public Safety released by American punkrock magazine MaximumRocknRoll. The self-titled album has now been reissued a third time by Danish label Hjernespind (since the demise of Kick'n'Punch). In January 2008 Hjernespind released an EP which is a reissue of the songs from the bands two singles.

BEFORE - A Wish Of Life 1982

From Denmark came Before and they were active from 1980-1983. At it's time considered one of the most important punkbands in Denmark. Fronted by vocalist Fritz Bonfils, the band featured a dark and intense music, recollect Velvet Underground or Joy Division, and their only album considered a landmark in the Danish underground. In the earliest incarnation of this shortlived band, the line up included Danish electronica pioneer Martin Hall and future lead-singer of Sort Sol (Sods), Steen Jørgensen. This Album was recorded at Karma and Hookfarm Studios in the spring of 1982 in Copenhagen and was released by Irmgardz Records. Ten remarkable driving punk/wave songs contains this awesome album which fits any mood. A permanent guest on my phone.

INCONTROLLADOS - Hvem Vil Det Gavne? EP 2001

The now defunct Incontrollados started out as a two-piece from Svendborg in 1999. After playing a few shows Lasse was recruited to sing and soon after recording the first demo-tape and releasing a couple of songs on the SPAND BZ compilation, Johan O.D. followed to complete the line-up. In 2001 the 2nd demo-tape was recorded and the band made a deal for a 7" with Kick'n' Punch Records. After returning, the band continued gigging, rehearsing and writing some of their best songs. But people were breaking their backs on the band and everything collapsed during a show in Odense where the bandmembers got in a fight between eachother on stage. The band left stage and broke up right after. This EP contains eight short leckmichamarschgoodies and gotta kick your ass.

KLICHÉ - Okay Okay Boys 1982

Kliché was a Danish new wave band (1977-1985), influenced by Kraftwerk, Punk, Devo and David Bowie. They had, however, a distinct sound mainly due to lead singer Lars Hug's original voice. They would semi-ironically quote Mao Zedong and Buddha and perform in uniforms - often coloured overalls. Lead singer, Lars Hug (later Lars H.U.G.), began his  solo career in 1984 and has released several albums. After Hug left the band, the remaining members released a single album titled Dobbelt Plus under the name Voss Torp Brill. Another member, Nils Torp, later formed the band Souvenirs together with Sofie Bonde. "Okay Okay Boys" is the second and last album from Kliché, released on Medley Records in 1982. Besides the band's usual crew Hilmer Hassig helps as additional guitarist. He was later a member of the Love Shop. The album continues the style from their brilliant debut album Supertanker with futuristic and socially critical lyrics. The song "Bravo Charlie" was released as a single and is a kind of nonsense show where all the words derived from the NATO phonetic alphabet (with the small exception that "Juliet" has become "Julia"). - Nice Powerpop/Wave/Punk!!!
