POT VALIANT - Never Return 2023

I want to end this rather unpleasant year with the exact opposite, and I've loved this band ever since I first heard them on the Life Is Change #2 sampler from BeriBeri Records. Both songs captivate me with their personal lyrics and melancholic mood, yet they still sound very harsh and offensive. This sound and atmosphere resonate perfectly with me, as I too very sensitive and emotional, and it's precisely these two qualities that sometimes get me down because I encounter people who couldn't care less about feelings and only care about their own interests. It's like an addiction; everything else is blocked out, and only the self matters. Well, that's awful, and I don't want to dwell on it. I don't like people who get close to you and then it turns out to be nothing but lame air, and you count no longer. Pathetic. Poor in spirit, poor in heart, or just incredibly stupid. I was very surprised when I saw this release and didn't hesitate to buy it. I want to give you some info about the band; it's not from me, but it fits 100%: "Pot Valiant was a four piece from El Cerrito/California and consisted of Brian (vocals), Nick (guitars), Craig [bass), Dave (drums) and were active from the mid 80s to the mid 90s. The band began as Vagrants; under this name they released three demo tapes and a 7Inch on Lookout Records. Later on they changed their name to Pot Valiant and released two more 7"s and one full-lenght. They also appeared on a compilation and reissued a previously unreleased track this year. Their material released under Vagrants is very DIY and a little more punk sounding than their later material under Pot Valiant which became more of a mix of Punk/Emo/Indierock. Musically their sound could be compared to Squirrel Bait or even The Hated, subtly mixing the emo undertones with straightforward, enjoyable Punk characteristics. It's always impressive to me to hear bands going for this kind of sound pre 1990s when it became increasingly popular and really evolved into its own genre. Back in the 1980s there weren't many bands straying from the norm in terms of Punkrock which makes me really respect the band." Suitable for all moments in life and a constant favorite in my ears, there's nothing to complain about here, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this album, I'm thrilled! Compiled on this two record set are the band’s Lookout & Sunny Sindicut 7Inches, Transaudio LP, comp tracks, and three previously unissued songs, comes in a fold-out case and includes a twenty-page booklet (not included) full of notes, flyers and photos of this classic from the outsider emo scene.

Enjoy the music and the last hours of this year and I wish you all a happy new 2026 and we'll rock just this as fucking hell.

V/A - Underground PunkRock From The Vaults 2024

Today, one more fantastic Compilation, and I've already mentioned the Shout It Out Loud label, which could be considered as a second Redrum and perhaps it's headed in that direction, I hope so. At least it once again presents rare gems from obscure Punk stuff from the Western world. Bands that will likely be unknown to most collectors, but are ultimately well worth a listen, and the record itself is impressive. Fourteen bands with their rare and hard-to-find songs, originally released on 7Inches, covering the period from 1979 to 1983. All songs have been specially remastered for this vinyl reissue to bring back the original, uncompromising feeling. Liner notes and cover art are printed on the back of the record. Let's hope the guys don't get tired and continue to make such rare treasures accessible; I'm thrilled, you are, and so every Punk in every conceivable place in our beautiful world.

V/A - Killed By California 2006

"Howdy & Cheerio, you collector nerds and vinyl hooligans!" So the intro words from the back cover and welcome to the last secret of the splendid KBD Redrum Records Compilation series and I thought long and hard about whether to post this, because rare and sought-after items should sometimes remain sought after, but since I'm in a damn funny good mood at the moment and a friend of being broaden my horizons and sharing good stuff with YOU, dear followers and visitors, this is called interest, I want to enrich your damn Christmas party with this fantastic work. Twenty-one raw and rare nuggets have come together to give us a lovely, almost forty-minute time, just as the bearded asshole couldn't do better. Solid presentation with the typical backliner notes, and I can't find a single weak point. Anyone who loves this series, including myself, will be very pleased. One Hundred copies exist, twenty on red and eighty on black vinyl, mine is the black one. Away from that now, there's goose to eat later and I'll see you again tomorrow, California Über Alles.

V/A - OX-Compilation #38 2000

Finally, another brilliant OX output, and I've realized I'm missing a few, hmmm... I really have no idea where they've all gone? Well, that's just how it is, and number 38 has the lovely addition Beautiful Music For Beautiful People and yes, that only refers to us. The OX-Fanzine was the best reading material for me back then: funny, informative, and never boring. And while I can't say I always eagerly awaited the next issue, I was always pleased to see a new magazine at my local Kiosk, a few stupid bastards were so brazen to steal the accompanying CD, but well, that's just how it is with those jerks. Precisely those who leave their shitty beer bottles or paper cups, cigarettes and vomit at our performance venues, there's a 'nice' song about that, I have no tolerance for those Pseudo-Punks and they should go where the sun never shines. But I'm getting sidetracked again; I just had an interesting encounter and I'm feeling rather happily motivated, hahahaha..... I guess, I'm a little sarcastic. Thirty-six bands/songs, international, twenty-five years young and I think, it has something for everyone. Meanwhile, I'll go and see where all the other CDs have been.

DEFNICS - 51% 7'' 1981

I'm starting the weekend with something that, to be honest, is nothing new, but is absolutely essential when you love a decent KBD sound. So you know who's blasting your ears, here's a short info from the label that re-released the record: "The Defnics, Robert (vocals/guitar), Sablack (lead guitar), Brandon (bass) & Johnny (drums), from Cleveland cut only one 7Inch on Terminal Records and a piece on the Cleveland Confidential Compilation. They played out as the Defnics for almost two years and broke up in the summer of 1982. Bill (a.k.a. Robert Conn) went on to join the second formation of the Pagans. Brandon joined Red October with Chris Andrews. Bob started the Plague with Duke Snyder and Johnny. Reformed in 2001 and published a 7" on Smog Veil Records with a new song written by Robert Conn along with a screaming live version of “51%”, recorded at the band’s reunion show." (source: BreakoutRecords) A brilliant record; used countless times on numerous cool compis. A true friend to enjoy your first breakfast beer!

THE BURNOUTS - Porno Queen EP 1999

Five piece from California the Burnouts released one record via Pelado Records and members were Sean (vocals), Mark & Cameron (guitars), Steve (bass), Justin (drums). The band name doesn't seem particularly original; there are many with similar names. However, the boys form California delivers four solid tracks on this piece of wax: two originals and two cover versions on the flip. One is by a legend, and the other is a classic that everyone knows, or at least should know. The title track was used for their only Compilation appearance, Heads Will Roll, and unfortunately there's nothing more to report about them. So anyone who likes crispy Nineties Punk'N'Roll will be well satisfied with consistently high sound quality and wild songs, and the volume might even blow out the candles on your Advent wreath, if you have one.

FALLOUT - Rock Hard 7'' 1982

Friends, today a real rarity, and I'm grateful to be able to quote a lot of infos here for you, thx to wiki: Fallout was a Heavy Metal band formed in 1979 based in Brooklyn/New York City. The band contained future Type O Negative members Peter Steele (then billed under his birth name, Peter Ratajczyk) on bass & vocals and Josh Silver on keyboards, as well as John Campos on guitars and Agnostic Front drummer Louie Beateaux (then billed as Lou Beato) on drums. Fallout released only one 7Inch before the band's demise in 1982, the "Rock Hard" single, released in 1981 on Silver Records and limited to 500 copies.

After three years of steady gigging, Fallout broke up. Steele & Beateaux went on to form Carnivore, and Silver and Campos formed Original Sin. After the breakup of Original Sin, Campos went on to form his own production company: Powerhouse Entertainment Group, Inc. Campos recorded, produced, and wrote songs for many Independent and major label artists, such as Bret Reilly, Surfing Moses, Jennifer Marks, Alex Skolnick, the Tito Puente band, Jimmy Delgado, Fat Joe, Mink, and more. He now runs a studio and production company out of Astoria, New York called One Mind Music.

Other known songs that were recorded at Soundscape are "Parthenophagia", "Fallout", "Under The Wheels", "Executioner", "Bleed For Me" and an assortment of instrumental 'experiments' none of which have officially been released nor bootlegged. Fallout also recorded the first version of the 'World War Three' Soundscape as an introduction to the song "Fallout". This piece includes synthesized explosions, gunfire and sirens performed by Richard Termini on the Oberheim Two Voice synthesizer and recorded to analog tape. The Soundscape includes screams and death cries performed by the band, the roadies and their girlfriends. This 'World War Three' Soundscape was recreated by Termini for the band Carnivore and is on their debut album (1985).

What are you waiting for?

SCHEMATIX - Jagged Edge EP 1981

Another rare EP now and we move to sunny California, home of the Schematix which formed 1979 in Santa Cruz as the X-Dreamists. Original members were Jill (vocals/keyboards), Debby & Mike (guitars), Marco (bass) and Jeff X (drums). Released via Subliminal Records and garnished with three synthpunk cocktails with wild femme vocals. They gigged frequently at smaller venues like Santa Cruz Art Center (where nearly 150 people showed up for their record-release party in 1981) and built a small fan base in their region. Unfortunately, they never released any further records and finally disbanded in 1983. The band features on some interesting Compis and leaves behind a 7Inch with heart and passion!

RUINERS - Blank Your Life! EP 1999

Early morning, always a shitty time, but the next record changes that: the Ruiners were a four piece from Cleveland and consisted of Chris (vocals), Paul (guitars), Bobby (bass), Wedge (drums) and this is their lone EP with seven superb Nineties Hardcore goodies and 300 copies were pressed and released via Non-Commercial/Bloodclot Records. The songs address personal pain and frustration, delivered with a "violent vehemence" and a defiant attitude and the lyrics are introspective, yet accessible to a wide audience. They focus on failed relationships and general life frustrations without descending into melodrama, and I'm sure many of you can relate to them. Add to this is the high-energy sound, which characterizes the raw, unadulterated form of classic Hardcore, blending melody and aggression. It's consistently intense, and anyone who enjoys a wild, aggressive sound will be well served. Enjoy a coffee with it and come good through this day!

V/A - Powerpearls Vol.2 1998

It's been a long time since I presented a Powerpearls Compilation in this theater, and today I was just in the mood for some good music, and this excellent series with fantastic songs/bands is perfect. Volume two is packed with hit after hit, leaving hardly any time to breathe. It's ideal for clearing your mind, fitting your body, sipping a warm cup of tea, and writing some bullshit about an awesome record. From all corners of the brave new world, outcasts have unpacked their instruments and created sounds that make the everyday routine crap and dealing with the dumbed-down society easier and more pleasant for us. Eighteen Pearls wait for your ears, all as rare as snow in the Sahara and the record was also released on yellow vinyl... and remember: "You can't experience early enough how dispensable you are in the world." Now you know.

DMZ - First Time Is The Best Time 7'' 1986

One of Boston’s primary Punk bands, DMZ (stands for Demilitarized Zone) and known for its blend of Punk aggression and Sixties Garage Rock and psychedelia. Led by the maniacal Mono Mann (aka Jeff Conolly, later of the Lyres), an organist/singer and Iggy Pop fixation formed the basis for the group’s influential stylings. Their first s/t album was released 1978, produced by Flo and Eddie, has bad sound, sloppy playing and little character, despite the raveup playing and general enthusiasm. This two-sided killer 7Inch is their fourth one is anything but awful, more like a sunny day with pleasant friends and you'll hear them too when you're busy with talking. In 2003, DMZ closed their headquarters and until 2011 a few records were released, mostly Compilations with rare and live material. Well, some of their recordings have been criticized for production, the band's live performances and raw energy were highly influential. That's all for now, I'm leaving now to have some fun and I'll be back shortly.

PAGANS - Street Where Nobody Lives 7'' 1978

First, some good news: a few re-upps have been released from Kraken and you'll surely find them. What's going on today? Brilliant stuff by the Pagans, a four piece from Cleveland and active from 1977-1979. Members were Michael (vocals), Tommy (guitars), Tim (bass), Brian (drums), they reformed several times, with new incarnations and this is their second 7Inch on Drome (1st pressing limited to 1700 copies), and both tracks are pure energy, and the flip side is a damn anthem with the profound question "What's This Shit Called Love?" and that, my dear friends, is what I've been asking myself for fifty years. "Can’t beat it - this classic single has been reissued in limited supplies and should not be passed up. Raw, awesome raging Punkrock!" (Tim Yohannan, MRR #31 • December 1985) Does anyone have an answer? Of course, it always takes two, like with tango, and over a long lifetime you think you know what you're doing, but somehow there are high hurdles and also stupidity that prevent a harmonious relationship, things that just don't fit. Yes, yes, that sounds negative, but unfortunately, those are my experiences, although I don't want to conceal the positive aspects either. Anyway, the Pagans conjure up some impressive music, and their repertoire is surprisingly large for a band that hasn't been around for very long. Take it!

VAGRANTS - Gone EP 1990

Now a band I really enjoy listening to, whose lyrics probably wrote in the subway or alone at home in complete solitude or alone on a bench or wherever. Self-critical, a bit desperate, extreme sensitive and anyone who finds words like that is either heartbreak disappointments, hopeless or simply self-critical or vexed; honest emotions, my friends, and when you combine all that with the right sound, you've created a small, unforgettable masterpiece that absolutely deserves to be heard. We're talking about the Vagrants from California and they masterfully manage the balance between harshness and emotion. They released three tapes and this little nugget on Lookout Records and a short info from of the label I would like to quote here: "The Vagrants bring a feel of mystery and brooding to their brand of Punk. Their “Gone” EP packs plenty of layered Rock on top of Punk sensibilities to create a satisfying slice of moody underground rock from 1990 with a slow heavy, (pre-) emo sound that reveals more upon repeated listens. Three tracks designed for an introspective afternoon." It's no secret that they later changed their name to Pot Valiant, finding more peaceful sounds for more profound words. Well, an amazingly cool record that you should have, I'm going out now and walking into the night.

here

SAMIAM - Underground 12'' 1990

Hello, I'm back and it's continuing brilliantly with one of my favorite bands from sunny California and I'm bringing you healthy vibes from Samiam, who re-recorded five songs from their 1989 demo on this cute little mini 12Inch, which didn't make it on the debut album. The band was formed 1988 with most of the combos founding members rising from the ashes of other Berkeley-area Punk bands and their first couple of albums being released on indie label New Red Archives. They say they're the inventors of EmoPunk, but I think that's nonsense. The lyrics are very personal, the music snotty and cheeky, and is that the reason for it? I don't like this kind of stereotyping, but people seem to need it when they're stuck for ideas. Anyway, I like the way they play together, and the guys were an impressive live experience too... It was a long time ago, and the T-Shirt I bought is already full of holes and worn out. Comes with new scans and a new bitrate, and the book of words closes with it. You can read for yourself how popular Samiam are and I recommend to buy their records, at least the early stuff is essential.

here

DOMINOES - Lies EP 1982

Superb EP by this four piece from Milwaukee called the Dominoes, consisted of Clancy & Gerard (vocals/guitars), Bobby (bass), Mike (drums) and this is their lone 7Inch on New Deal Records. Info: "Clancy Carroll started playing music at age 13 and within a couple years formed his first band. His early influences included Jimi Hendrix, Alice Copper & David Bowie. He caught the Punk bug a couple years later after seeing the Ramones play live in a small club in June '77. His band at the time was called Ozone. Initially playing house parties and school dances, they eventually went on to win a huge battle of the bands competition. The group was rewarded with studio time and a short run 45. However, once the sessions began, they found out another band was called Ozone, so they changed their moniker to something a little more Punk sounding: The Ones. By mid-1980, Clancy wanted to move in a different direction. So he started rehearsing with Gerard LaValliere who had just left the Haskels. Marty Chittum and Mark Graves filled in for a short while, but things really came together for the band when Bobby Mitchell came on board. He had played in The Haskels as well, but left shortly after they released their stellar Taking The City By Storm EP. Bobby then suggested Mike Farrow, a drummer from Oshkosh, come in to solidify the Dominoes line-up. Mike started playing drums just a year earlier and the Dominoes would be his first band. This is just a short intro about the Dominoes by Mike from Cheaprewards Blog and read the full bio there, I wanna give you a press review from that time: "The Dominoes are a pretty attractive combo who adhere to a classicist version of Rock'N'Roll with their two guitars, bass and drums format. They're aiming for a clean sound approaching the purity of the Rockabilly Music, including in their repertoire mostly tune from the Sixties. It's a joy to hear, and on this base the band shows much potential." Well, it's not as bad as it sounds, three cool songs, the first cut is the winner for me.

Finally a little TV tip: if you're bored, watch Alice In Borderland. Great story, very good actors, excellent dialogue, and worth watching for the visuals.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Texas 1992

Now it's fucking Monday again and pheww... I can tell you, it's a bit tiring jetting around the world, meeting people and always giving 100%... but the effort is worth it because these are always valuable friendships and they need to be nurtured. Having landed in Houston and with me this beautiful record with eighteen essential Punkrock blasts in my luggage (I think it's the last missing Bloodstains goodie in this damn blog) and the slab shines in all its glory like the area of ​​the second large state of the damn United States. Well, as I said, music from this contaminated state is straightforward and hits you hard in the ears and I guess it is one of the most successful Compis of this series. It starts superbly and ends magnificently; it's pure gold! Considering how much money these records cost these days, it's quite remarkable, especially since they're almost impossible to get anymore. It's a profoundly impactful record and highlights some of the important bands of the early years and is another great piece of American Punk history that you can't missed.

INSERTS - s/t EP 1981

From Austin/Texas came the Inserts and the foursome consisted of Billy (vocals), Steve (guitar), Vic (bass), Fred (drums) and as their popularity grew, they rushed into the studio to record their debut EP which was released on the Classified label and we listen to three nice goodies. Musically, it's brilliantly driving and catchy, as if they've never done anything else. Texas Punk is, alongside California and New York, my absolute favorites. This record is very subtle and has a great bass line and Billy's voice fits brilliantly, exactly what a tired soul needs. The song "Doctor's Wives" is featured on the Bloodstains Across Texas Compilation. And I just noticed that this compi isn't on the blog... I thought everyone would be there, so I'll add it right away. Until then, enjoy the Inserts!

PLASMATICS - Meet The Plasmatics 12'' 1979

Absolutely worth listening to and no less interesting is the following 12Inch by the Plasmatics. A Punkrock/Heavy Metal band which formed by Rod Swenson & Wendy O. Williams in New York City 1978. They were a controversial group known for chaotic, destructive live shows and outrageous theatrics. These included chainsawing guitars, destroying speaker cabinets, sledgehammering television sets and blowing up automobiles live on stage. This is, I think, their second vinyl on Vice Squad Records with three cool numbers (the flip lasts almost eleven minutes). They spanned five studio albums and multiple EPs. Aside from Williams and Rod, guitarist Wes Beech was the only other permanent member of the group. Guitarist Richie Stotts was a co-founder of the band and a mainstay of the pre-breakup core group (1978–1983). You should be able to find a few basics, a detailed bio and some information. I need some food now; yesterday is still weighing heavily in my bones. Check them for more records.

DEPROGRAMMER - Discipline EP 1980

It's weekend, and I have some peace and no appointments, so I'll see what I can come up with today. A rare record that was original released without a sleeve will kick things off and this beauty came via At Last Records and it's the debut 7Inch from Deprogrammer, a short-lived combo from Texas but moved to Los Angeles, and here with female vocals by Nina, who unfortunately wasn't part of the subsequent recordings. Three catchy mid-tempo hymns which are already stinging because of their length and Nina with her passionate voice also raises the songs considerably to the upper level of smooth sounds. I can definitely say it's not a typical LA Punk record, just different and very interesting. Another single and an album followed - you know where to click for that - and unfortunately I can't provide any further information because there isn't any, and in 1980 I was at home. They weren't on any Compilations back then and the Bootlegs they're on have always the same song and that's a bit stupid. Now I treat myself to the fridge and look what's hidden there.

V/A - Earth Rapers & Hell Raisers 2x7'' 1989

We stay fast and loud and come to this double 7inch on Hippycore Records with mostly American bands that are rather unknown to me (except Samiam whose song is almost out of place I think) but somehow and where all of them made a 7inch or even a record. It's a Benefit release for Phoenix Earth First!, I can't say exactly what it is or was but it doesn't matter, the song selection is consistently cool and sharp. A healthy mix I would say, Hardcore with a bit of metal influence and solid like a good friend who won't let you down, a second release followed in the same year on green vinyl with different colored cover. That was the weekend on wdthtc and let's see what's coming up next week, apart from a dentist appointment at 7:00 in the morning, I'm already looking forward to that....

1.Technology (The Evil) - SINS OF THE FLESH

2.Intellectual Hypocrites - BENT!

3.Nuclear Delicacies - JESTERS OF CHAOS
