ATTANAS - Rokki EP 1985

Well, since the wonderful German railway ruined my weekend yesterday by not running, I am condemned to stay here alone and not with my girlfriend. Good for the blog, so I can be a bit active and first off to the far cold north of Europe and a visit to Tampere were we meet a four piece called Attanas, they made three 7Inches in the mid-eighties and the band consisted of Ronne (vocals), Tumppi (guitars), Wennari (bass), Maso (drums) and influences were drawn first mainly from '77 style. Their music is simple and the lyrics deal with social issues and personal experiences, they didn't really play much live but that's okay. In addition to their singles, they are featured on several Compilations, one of those is the famous Maanalainen Vuosikerta record from 1989. This record was released via Lentsun Klupi and has five solid, cozy numbers and is a good start into this fucking gray day.

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.

KLAMYDIA - Pää Kiinni Painajainen 1992

First post this year and honestly, I didn't miss it. Real life has a lot of hold on me right now and it's more important than music (who knew?). I don't want to say much either, it is how it is and of course the blog will continue, the theater isn't closed, it is just being renovated, lots of cool records waiting for their appearance, so stay tunedLet's continue with Klamydia (Chlamydia), a Finnish combo which founded 1988 in Vaasa and the band's name was chosen because it was the worst word coming to their mind. They always been renowned as a humour-band, but they have a lot of songs criticising society, and other songs about serious subjects, like incest as well as love songs. The band's history is characterized by a multitude of changes in the composition of the members - only singer Vesku has been a member of the line-up continuously since its founding - but also by a tirelessness that has so far led to twenty-four albums and a total of well over three hundred songs. This is their third album which came via their own label Kråklund Records and was recorderd by Vesku (vocals), Vuokko (guitars), Shitsi (bass), Riku (drums). Musically, they write short melodic pieces, and I mean there are only two types of Punkrock from Finland dominant: blatant Hardcore and melodic Ramonesque sound. Klamydia tend towards the latter, but every now and then flashes of aggressiveness, not for wimps. And they're still demonstrating it live, check out when they're coming to your city.

V/A - Kylmää Joulua! 1978

My contribution on today's date, and you know this time is nothing spectacular for me, but I'm not alone on this earth, but here is something special for you: Kylmää Joulua! (A Cold Christmas!) is the Finnish Christmas greeting that was released 1978 by the essential Poko Rekords as a 12Inch as promotional use, which includes ten splendid Punk and Rock versions of traditional Christmas carols by early Finnish combos. At the time, only 500 copies of the album were pressed, and it was distributed free of charge to partners and close friends of the bands appearing on the album, among others. In 2007, a remastered CD version of the album appeared, which was printed in thousand copies and this file is this version, the original is damn rare and an expensive affair these days. The back cover said that the B-side contains the song 'Silent Night' performed by an Orchestra called "Tampere Chamber Ensemble", but in fact nothing was pressed on it. Enjoy!

V/A - Panx Vinyl Zine 11 EP 1992

French label Panx Productions created their small Panx Vinyl Zine series at the end of the Eighties and eleven parts were released. Pressed exclusively as 7Inch, initially hand-numbered and always provided with a small booklet, bands were given the opportunity to show what they could do. Mostly unknown combos, who were only a small part in their lifetime at vinyl on these series. So a very good innovation and anyone who owns all eleven records can certainly put them all together on a CD and have a really rare and surprisingly good Compilation with excellent material, in my opinion. I only have this one but it kicks well and is affordable for just a few euros, like all the others. Now start to an interesting little journey through the world and meet likeable people who can do it too. Cheers! 🍻

1.Tired - COUCH POTATOES
2.Jehovah's Witness - BLANKS 77
3.Crisis Everywhere - WOUNDED KNEE
4.Real Man - EIGHT BALL
5.Sentimiento Indefinible - LAMENTO
6.Nevermore - PUBLIC LOST

V/A - Teenage Rebel ... Der Sampler #1 1995

This Compilation presents you excerpts from the not unimportant label Teenage Rebel Records from Düsseldorf, which was founded at the end of the eighties, therefore are mainly bands from this area here at home. There were four editions of this series, which mostly appeared in a cardboard sleeve, and in addition to 'old' bands, some of which were newly formed at the time, the range of 'new' German bands is not uninteresting and many such Compliations were available as inserts in renowned fanzines (Wahrschauer, Ox, ZAP etc..), an original idea I think, for less money you can come to new music and choose what you like accordingly. When I ripped this CD I thought it wouldn't be read because there are some deep scratches on it but the player did an excellent job and ran brilliantly, so here it is: a cool selection of cool songs and I guess there is something for everybody!

1.Pöbel Und Gesocks - BEXXX PISTOLS

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.

RATTUS - s/t LP 1984

3000 copies of this album by Rattus were pressed by the New York Rat Cage Records label and it's a compilation of old tracks re-recorded and I'm not sure, this goodie was only released exclusively for the friends there. Rattus was founded 1978 in Vilppula and are definitely one of the driving forces in the Finnish underground scene and with their angry, aggressive & powerful Hardcore sound they not only shaped the friends of their homeland, but also beyond, guesting on numerous international samplers, they became a significant part of these records and thus also better known in rhe world, hyvä näin! Until their first dissolution in 1988 they released four albums, a few tapes and some 7Inches. Resurrected in 2001 and since then, very active on vinyl and live. Twenty concise songs that refresh my brain and boost my good mood after such an exciting evening yesterday and warmly welcome the approaching weekend. Enjoy!

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!

HUGGIN' WAYNE - All The Goods 7'' 1992

One more short-lived combo from Finland and Huggin' Wayne consisted of Timo (vocals/bass), Lasse & Mikko (guitars), Reiska (drums) and in their active days (1991-1993) they released this little 7Inch via Trash Can Records in an numbered edition of 600 copies. Two strong groove numbers with heavily distorted guitars and a bombastic, bass-heavy sound, I would say it's almost Stoner Rock. Rhythm dominated, sluggish and impulsive. Little infos about the boys but I guess, all members have merged into other bands. On compilations they have another song on Runeberginkatu 8 that was released in 1993 via Oskun Divari. Both Thumps Up!

F.A.N.T.A. & BLITZKRIEG BOYS - Now I Wanna Sniff... Some Sun! EP 2008

500 copies on Rumble Records by this split CD with bands from the south and north heart of Europe. The south is represented by F.A.N.T.A., a three piece which formed 1999 in Santa Coloma de Gramanet (Barcelona) and initial members were Oscar (vocals/guitars), Gabi (bass), Beto (drums). They begin to rehearse and record a demo, I Want To Be Your Johnny Ramone, which was played by Juan de Pablos (Spanish National Radio 3) and little by little they gaving concerts and 2001 they recorded new demos and the result was, they played more gigs and become more known. In 2003 the debut Vacations On Mars on MusicForTop was released with fifteen songs in a decent Ramonesque style and from then on six albums followed, the last one in 2018. The Blitzkrieg Boys were founded in Tampere 1985 and after a fantastic EP they released one year later their brilliant debut Back From Nowhere in 1989 and the second and last came in 2011, since then it has become quiet around the boys. Both have a few compilation appearances and on this little piece of beach life are nine catchy waterdrops and both do a decent job throughout. Unfortunately only in 128k/Bit but I can't change it at the moment, but soon.

V/A - Kuoleman Tappaneet (Punk Rockia Pienkustanteilta 1977-1983) [2017]

Interesting compilation by Svart Records which is limited to 1000 copies, with a 52 page booklet which isn't included here because I only have this lousy rip but don't want to withhold it from you, and according to the label info: "A fantastic collection of first generation Finnish Punkrock hand picked from rare private pressings, 1977-1983." Yeah, I can only agree wholeheartedly, because we find 100% rare Schöppscher from bands whose original 7inches offer outrageous prices these days and are therefore not even remotely available for us non-millionaires. One thing's sure, the record comes across in the best Killed By Bloodstains manner and I can't identify any blenders or a dull moment by the fourteen nuggets, catchy Punkrock as we know it from the early days from the far north of Europe, melodic, short and with the typical Finnish vocals. Kuoleman Tappaneet is really worth buying and if someone wants to sell a copy, mail me immediately. Brilliant Stuff!

V/A - Enjoy The Gift Of Life EP 1990

This is supposed to be a limited Promo 7Inch, but I'm not sure. Fact is; four bands from three continents have come together to delight your heart with their refreshing art. Opener are the Badtown Boys from LA, who have been around since 1986, have released five albums and convince with melodic singalong songs, Channel 3 from Cerritos, established 1980, are certainly well known and play hard, fast stuff that even made it onto some European compilations, numerous records from the boys are available. The b-side starts with Sticky Filth from New Plymouth, NZ and the trio released four quality albums. Their evocations of provincial Punk and working class life are among New Zealand’s finest and most honest and the powersound they make is raining down to a howling vocal and constant beat, one of the most distinct, Electric Blue Peggy Sue & The Revolutionions From Mars were from Oulu, active from 1986 to 1996, long band name with many members, six in total. Seven albums exist and the only unknown combo to me but a worthy conclusion on this little piece of vinyl which came in various different cover colors.

1.We're Through - BADTWON BOYS
2.What About Me - CHANNEL 3
3.Weep Woman Weep - STICKY FILTH
4.I Do It All The Time - ELECTRIC BLUE PEGGY SUE & THE REVOLUTIONIONS FROM MARS

V/A - 1984 The Third 2LP 1987

One of my favorite compilations is the double album by the important French label New Wave Records, who released a small series called 1984 in the Eighties with tons of international bands and every release is a direct hit in my opinion. Also Freunde, Volume 3 was pressed 1500 times and there are thirty-eight bands/songs to discover, plus a detailed booklet with lots of infos and lyrics and and and... I love such loving and detailed slabs because they not only make an impact acoustically, but also visually and I'm certainly not alone there, and on days off like these, the pleasure is doubly pleasant. The only downside is that I have to write so much and don't like to write much. I've already thought about not writing anything anymore, but I don't like that either. What a conflict hahaha... Now I'll open a beer and the subtle reference to Volume 4 (the last part) and the first two will follow... someday!

V/A - Maanalainen Vuosikerta 1989

Yesterday DFB Cup final and again very exciting and with a happier ending for RB Leipzig. I stuck with Freiburg, but they underinvested after half-time and Leipzig really showed a strong performance with ten men. Congratulations on the first title. Next week's CL final, which is sure to be just as exciting. - Another rare compilation, that I've been looking for a long time and finally able to purchase a few years ago, was released on the Finnish Stigma label in 700 copies. In addition to well-known virtuosos, there are bands that haven't hardly made much appearances, but they're a solid contribution and their musical variety makes this slab a little masterpiece. And that's exactly what I like, and I love to discover the unknown, like a researcher. In addition, an A4 booklet with lyrics and presentation of each participating band, thus an excellent investment, with heart and soul. And all this included. Nice release with interesting music/bands and worth getting.

SEKAANNUS - Kutsu EP 1985

Second self-released EP by the pioneers of Finnish anarcho-influenced hardcore punx Sekaannus from Virrat with three creaky pieces which recorded in August 1985 by Juha (vocals), Sami (guitar), Ari (bass), Hate (drums). The tempo was slowed down a bit on this record, but that doesn't make the songs boring, they continued this style consistently on their third 7Inch Eksyneet and I like that. One thing is certain, you can hear their sound on the train without hesitation and looking at the Zombies without running amok (that's relaxing for me because I'm present in this free theater almost every weekend). In 2021 came their last sign of life out, a re-release of this EP via Finnish Hardcore as 12Inch in a limited edition of 500 copies, 100 on semi-transparent blue vinyl, with the whole six song Kutsu demo.

RATTUS - Uskonto On Vaara 1984

Third "mini" album by Rattus, legendary Finnish hardcore punx which were formed 1978 in Vilppulaon, on Poko Records with nine short killers. Who could give a better review than Pushead himself, who also provided his art for the cover: "Rattus combustion, startling adrenaline speed and hammerhead blows of power. Featuring the new high-velocity rasping vocals of Annikki, they virtually sweep forth with sharp-edged earloads of riveting force and disorderly rapidity. Brilliant Finnish hardcore, unhesitant and explosive assaults of raw nitro energy." Pushead (MRR #7 • July/August 1983) - And that's exactly what it is, a furious album with little playing time. Numerous albums and singles also prove their creative passion in songwriting, let's generously ignore contributions to compilations, there are too many... and now: POGO!

V/A - Planet Punk #4 2005

Second and last part of Planet Punk and with Volume 3, this little self-made series is already complete. H2D#26 is another tidbit full of rare stars from international bands that are still kicking ass, much in demand and popular in our fucking disillusioned times which bring little decent music to light in my opinion. Music is like inventions, there is nothing innovative that can really impress me, hardly any wow factor or thing that I can really admire. And I would say that for almost twenty years. Speaking of music, we all hear & see the so called "combos" thrown together, the TV shows which offer only shit and are played over and over by radio stations, all this crap is boring, repetitive and only geared towards profit, commercial shit and really sucks. It's really intoxicating to get acquainted with such music as on this further fantastic compilation and to eke out an existence far away from this dead & dull society. That are the words for Sunday, Amen! Enjoy the vibes of the good ole days!
