V/A - Anarki & Kaos #2 2007

"Punk, Råråkk & Aggression - Archaeological excavations from the Norwegian underground 1978-1981", so briefly about the content of the second Anarki & Kaos compilation from Voices Of Wonder Records and this Silberling is full with rarities and classics. Comes in a decent artwork with much infos, but I don't understand why nobody came up with the idea to translate the whole thing into English... but with a short video which is apparently without sound, hmmmm.... frankly, I can't see any sense in it. Well, somehow I think this CD shouldn't go beyond Norway and is certainly very interesting for locals, but let's be not so critical; Fakt is: together with Volume 1, both provide an excellent insight of the subculture by this country of the early wild years.. Unfortunately only as CD available, but essential for all KBD friends... choose an indispensable listening experience!

STENGTE DØRER - Siste Reis EP 1992

Farewell EP by this Norwegian hardcore/punk band from Oslo with again four powerful melodic punk trashers (no ballads guaranteed). Released at the German label Beri Beri Records with a lyricsheet inside. One song in native Norwegian the others in English. A worthy last call by this great band and this Blog is full with their stuff. Click Stengte Dører for more music. Only post tonight because I have to get out and get new food (Grrrr !!!!).

SISTE DAGERS HELVETE - The Hell 1984

Fuckin' rainy today, first class blog weather and I'm digging out another classic record by Siste Dagers Helvete (freely translated Last Days In Hell) from Moss, just south of Oslo, and the band consisted of Oskari (vocals), Morten (guitars), Knut (bass), Rune (drums) and were active from 1981 to 1986 and their album "The Hell" had landed on Rock-O-Rama because the famous Finnish label Propaganda Records went bankrupt and H.E. grabbed with his greasy fatfingers for the masters, the band writes today: "[...] it was released without the band's approval, with wrong song titles, no royalties and worst of it all: the label did a radically different mix, destroying the master tape that originally had a depth and punch very unusual for a hardcore band at this time." Nevertheless are thirteen fast, catchy, irresestible smasher are left at its best. In 2010 appeared a splendid compilation called Hele Helvete 83-09 via Fysisk Format with all their recordings plus live material.

AKUTT INNLEGGELSE - Echoes From The Asylum EP 1983

Akutt Innleggelse from Fjellstrand started off as a noisy punk outfit in the early 80's,  featuring adolescents Thomas & Bengt (aged approximately 13 or 14) and their friends Rolf and Espen (only slighty older). Their first trip to the studio, in 1983, yielded the Echoes From The Asylum EP, released on Thomas' newly-formed Straightjacket label. After replacing Espen and adding Bjørn on vocals, the band headed in a more "hardcore"-sounding direction. An April '84 session produced a nine-song demo; several tracks from this ended up on various international compilations. In 1985, the band called it quits. Thomas (aka Happy-Tom) and Bengt (aka Bingo) went on to play in Turbonegro. (Thanks to Bård) A raw, mid-tempo three-track EP from Norway. On their first vinyl release, Akutt Innleggelse displays a primitive, amateurish punk attack. It kind of slouches along without noteworthy choruses, but the lyrics are good and the guitar lead in "Superstjerne" is awkward enough to be really cool. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #16, August 1984) - On numerous compilations to guest, great stuff!

ØRESUS - Galt Et Sted EP 1981 + Mannen I Badekaret 7'' 1982

Øresus ("Tinnitus") started in Skien in 1980 with Frode Olsen on bass, Pål Lillefjære on guitar, Ragnar Khøn on drums and Jan Ove Lorentzen on guitar and vocals. They were soon the leading band in the Telemark area with their mixture of punk, rock and ska combined with crass lyrics about society at large, sung in a Greenland dialect. They released their EP Galt Et Sted ("There Is Something Wrong Someplace") in 1981 and they went on to win the local Championship of Rock the same year, but boycotted the finale in Oslo as a protest against greedy promoters. In 1982 they released the single Mannen I Badekaret ("The Man In The Bathtub") and the year after they released the LP Ansikt Til Ansikt ("Face To Face" & could anybody send this to me? - The band split in 1983 but will reunite for a short gig in March of 2003 to release a CD of their material." by Bård. - All in all six brilliant kbd killers with a tough tempo, a cool saxophone plus a cute ballad. Yeah!! Compilation: Hurra For Norge #2 – Ich habe durch!

DE PRESS - Lars Hertervig 12'' 1981

Here is the second release as 12'' from De Press on Siberia Music and it starts a bit melancholy with the title track and on the flip two decent mid-tempo numbers. A great mix of Wave/Punk in any case and who Lars Hertervig is remains a mystery, at least for me. A shallow start into the new week and I hope your weekend was as famos as mine.

V/A - Bloodstains Across The World #3 2019

I don't know how surprised you were but when I saw this new Bloodstains compilation on ebay I didn't think long after, I gave my bid immediately & won the auction. Unfortunately not as vinyl but as lame unspectacular CD-R in an edition of 100 copies. Anyway, The tracklist is interesting and I know 40% of it whose originals can be found in the blog and the rest is fuckin' new. I would say, has become an excellent result, only drawback for the poor artwork, which is capable of development and must be better. But in the end, it is nice that someone makes the effort to keep this grandiose series alive. Enjoy!

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.

ALLER VÆRSTE! - Materialtretthet 1980

Half-time in Hoffenheim and the fuckin' FCB leads with two goals, it seems the chief floor has stabilized. Well, let's come to the Aller Værste!, a Norwegian new wave/ska band from Bergen of the early 80's, which started out as a hobby project by four members of long-forgotten group Johnny Banan Band, members were Chris Erichsen (vocals/guitar), Ketil Kern (drums), Sverre Knudsen (bass/organ), Lasse Myrvold (vocals/guitar/organ) and Harald Øhrn (bass/vocals/organ). Apparently big with John Peel at the time, their debut Materialtretthet on Den Gode Hensikt won a Spellemannspris (Norwegian grammy) in 1980. The group disbanded after their second record, Disniland I De Tusen Hjem. Not easy to describe their sound because typical Ska sounds different but remarkable is the fiepsende organ that reminds me of the Doors. TAV! was part of the punk boom without playing punk. They kept going for a two-year period and released two albums - yet they have an indisputable and central place in Norwegian rock's history and development over the past twenty-five years. Also on numerous compilations and one plus an EP (listen) are in this theatre, meanwhile 1:2.

- Special Thx to Fredrik -

FRONT PAGE - Qualified 1981

Front Page is a Norwegian five piece from Halden, founded 1978 by Morton (vocals), Steinar & Storm (guitars), Ulf (bass) and Chris (drums) and they brought their first Kick Them! single from 1979 on New Noise a classic which is nowadays a very sought record. They also released two albums before they dissolved in 1983 and this is their first one on Mellow Madness with thirteen not so hard mid-tempo goodies. Numerous presence on compilations, Back To Front and other relevant slabs. I hope you are happy with Santa Claus and you got what you wanted, more presents tomorrow.

PVC - Emile Berliner 1981

Before I switch to the next record, first a little anode why I'm angry, the laundrette near my house is the reason because it should be open at 9:00 and the Assholes are not there!! Forty-five minutes waiting for nothing and a phone call will not reply... what the fuck is this? Customer service, ignorance, no desire? This is the third time now and I have really better things to do than standing stupid in the landscape on a Saturday morning (it's the only time I can do my laundry). You see at this little example that you can't rely on anyone and how nice it is to be independent. But sometimes you just need others and usually it's okay, but such a behavior is not acceptable to me. I will try again later cause I must wash and hope the morons are present. - - - - Now to this record which was on my wanted list for a long time, the debut album by PVC on Plastic Records. Started out as a punk band from Oslo/Norway which was active in the early 1980's. The band consisted of Rune Martinsen (bass), Jørn Loe (guitar), Hans Christian Andersen (drums), Nils Petter Jensen (guitar) and Svein Dahl (vox). After the first two singles (listen) they became more a new wave band with some punk tunes and they recorded their debut album. After this they had some major line up changes and became more electronic new wave/post punk. Ten decent mid-tempo numbers with a great female voice that fits an opulent brunch and blows any trouble (hopefully) away. Also on Bloodstains Across The World. Enjoy!

ROUGH TRADE -s/t EP 1980

One more awesome punk band I can present you here is Rough Trade from Ålesund, Norway. They released this pretty self produced EP in 1980 and have been featured on compilations such Anarki & Kaos: Norsk Punk Vol.1 and Bloodstains Across Norway (coming soon). And if you like early scandinavian KBD sound then you will love this record. One side sung in native norwegian while the flip is held in english. Six numbers and they all have that dirty garage touch as I love it. The guys can play their instruments and what I like in particular is their flexibility. Fast Hardcore, Ska-elements and groovy '77 style crackers and even a live recording on this plate. Wow!! - Unfortunately track #3 is missing and should someone have it please send them. In 1994 the label Intense Heartbeat Records released a CD called Du Er En Dritt with all their recordings (twenty-one songs) and I will hear this, so feel free to drop me a mail. End of story!

- Extra Thx to Fredrik -

SO MUCH HATE - Lies 1993

The fifth and last album by this four piece Hardcores from Oslo, active 1986-1996, on X-Mist Records/Progress Records. So Much Hate consisted of members of Svart Framtid, Kafka Process and Bannlyst. The band was one of the hardest Norwegian hardcore bands in the 80's and 90's. They played over 400 concerts in Norway and abroad. So Much Hate was strongly linked to the Blitz House and the plates, and especially their lyrics appear to be time-sculptures from Blitz's history. So Much Hate was more uncompromising and hard-hitting than any other Norwegian band from their time and were one of the leading underground bands in Europe. They were on tour including with Ignition and played more concerts together with greats such as Fugazi, Indigesti and Kina. After a farewell tour in Europe in fall 1996, they played their last concert at Blitz on November 14, 1996. Vocalist Gunnar (vocals) moved shortly to Germany and settled there, Løvik (guitars) joined the band Captain Not Responsible, while Per (bass) and Finn (drums) joined Drunk. Løvik died in March 2007. If you like the album I recommend their third Blind Alley (listen).

OSLO XI - Morgen Stemning EP 1980

Another classic EP from a band I can't find no further info but I guess they're from Oslo and this is their debut via Blått Øre Music and it's a nice one. Not so punky as the other raw & killer bands from this country but all four songs have a solid heavy rocking tempo, all sung in native norwegian so what more can you expect? - Puhhh, I'm still tired and in three hours starts my day in the office with strenuous people, Yippieh.. - In 1982 they released an album called Stikk Finger'n I Jorda and no compilation injections. So get this little piece of history and start the download.

V/A - Hurra For Norge 2007

Hurra For Norge is a damn good series from Svindel Records and they compiled rare goodies from original live/demo tapes and vinyl of early norway punk, mostly in an edition of 500 copies. Overall, there are five issues released and all are outstanding and lovingly designed with all infos about the recordings/bands. I have four of them only this one not so I am very pleased that the Network Of Friends is intact. The artwork is unfortunately not there, maybe anyone send this in. Musically a punk firework with massive hits and further volumes will follow, guaranteed.

Just like that others series by those useless eaters from hell. This one's already going down hill... to the big money at the end of your wants list. Be warned: all anarchy & violence taken from original vinyls. So if it ain't digital enough you can always listen to disco shit.

AKUTT-80 - s/t EP 1980

First the Babbelstub is temporarily defunct and until I have a new one please use the comment section for requests or other questions. Now a rare nugget from my old Wanted-List is this record, as rare as the Niveau Null EP. Only eighty copies were pressed, self released and that's all info I have about this obscure Norwegian punk band. I think, all four songs are presumed recorded directly at their rehearsals to tape, at least they sound like this and I like that very well. Gruff, crude, dirty and pretty bumpy noises are fabricated by this four piece combo and this is why I'm love Punkrock! I look in the mirror and feelin' right and so this is the sound in my veins, you know... Amazing the pretty ballad 'Alta' which has a reggae/jazz touch (I think it's extraordinary) and with 'Prostituert' a superb melodic KBD firecracker finally. They featured on these two unknown compilations Bloodstains Across Norway and Hurra For Norge Vol.3 (both coming soon). Now That's all for now folks, maybe I'll come back tomorrow. Now continue with football, hope the SGE shoots the 1:1.

LIK - Schizofren EP 1981

Another unknown band from Norway is this two piece called Lik and they released their only three song EP on Likvider Plater in 1981. The fast title track 'Total Krig' is a-typical punk and boasts a wry guitar solo. The other two cuts are more slower songs, but added with some cold synth-lines, almost early synth-punk. Works well together and rough produced. Overall, it is noted that in this way, the band manages to create a very sterile and gloomy apocalyptic mood. I also like that the songs are sung in Norwegian. They also had a track on the brilliant Anarki & Kaos compilation. Check them out and decide for yourselfs.
