CHAOTIC DISCHORD - Their Greatest Fuckin' Hits 1994

Dear friends, it's a blessing that Punkrock exists; I don't know how my life would go on otherwise. Yesterday I got the party started, and that feeling continues today with Chaotic Dischord, top-notch U.K. HardcorePunk. This silver surfer is part of the awesome Punk Collectors Series from Anagram Records and will blast thirty hits right into your living room, so loud that no beer will get warm. And when an album starts with three songs that include the word 'FUCK!' you know what to do. Crank the volume all the way up and punch your neighbor in the face if he even thinks to complain. There is detailed infos in the file; for this, I'm stealing the short version from Discogs: Allegedly formed by members of Vice Squad and their road crew in 1981, although this still remains unconfirmed by members of the band. They also recorded a one-off EP under the name Sex Aids. The line-up consisted of Ransid (vocals), Pox (guitars), Ampex (bass) and Evo (drums). A number of Bristol Punkrock faces as a way to mock the lack of quality control on Riot City Records. A copy of their first recording was sent to Simon Edwards from Riot City. That recording ended up on the Compilation Riotous Assembly, and Chaotic Dischord was signed to his label and the band's point was proved long before Edwards realised that the band he'd signed were royally taking the mickey out of him. But by that point they were shifting so many units that he kept them on anyway and released a total of five albums without them ever playing a live show. The band reformed in 2019 with original members Ransid and Ampex, was temporarily hampered by the 'rona, then have been playing international festivals and recording new material ever since.

They eventually split up in 1988 when Ransid's tool hire business took off. After continued offers from Punk festivals around the globe, Chaotic Dischord reformed to play Rebellion Festival 2020. When that obviously couldn't happen they were confirmed to play in 2021, to the same result. Fortunately Rebellion still wanted them and they played both the 2022 and the 2023 festivals. The band played its first ever gig at Exchange in Bristol in February 2022, and have since gone on to play shows all over the planet, taking in shows in Vancouver, Madrid, Berlin, Australia and Ramsgate. They also occasionally play secret gigs under their aforementioned nom de plume Sex Aids. They continue to tour, and in August 2023, launched their first physical release in thirty-five years when they brought out their Songs To Fuck Your Mental Health To limited edition maxi-single on pukey coloured 10Inch in on their own Irresponsible Punk Songs label. This collected songs from their two previously download only releases.

Hearty food that's perfect when you're confused and need a new boost.

EATER - The Compleat Eater 1993

Another jewel from Anagram Records' Punk Collectors Series and this is dedicated to one of the oldest UK bands. We're talking about Eater and they formed 1976 in London and consisted of Andy (vocals), Brian (guitar), Ian (bass) & Dee/Phil (drums). They released several 7Inches and an album, all on their own label. This nice Compilation features everything the band released between 1976 and 1979, a total of twenty-eight crispy delicacies. A short outside support from Richie Unterberger: "With their stripped-down power-chord anthems, Eater were nowhere near as talented or versatile as the early Punk pioneers like Buzzcocks or the Jam. Nevertheless, they managed to create spirited, if somewhat typical and rather generic, early Punk that is not as dispensable as some reference works claim. Eater disbanded at the end of the 1970s. Phil, Dee's successor, joined Slaughter & The Dogs, and singer Andy recorded a single with former Damned guitarist Brian James in the mid-80s, but that was basically it for band members." And now enjoy the exuberant, youthful, fast, snotty, catchy and energetic sound of this young teenage band. I need to go back to bed and sleep myself healthy.

THE RAPED - The 7Inch Punk Collection 1994

Let's come on to another fuzzy by the fantastic Punk Collectors Series by Anagram Records and this is dedicated to the Raped and compiles both singles, some demos and nine live songs. Despite the fact that the band has released very little, they were nevertheless included in this glorious series but their existence was meteoric... Inevitably, with a name like that, criticism was bound to follow. In reality, the problem with the musicians of Raped was that they weren't necessarily suited to Punkrock; a sort of almost gay alternative to the machismo of the movement's early bands, their influences were primarily to be found in GlamRock. Who could take seriously a group whose drummer wore stilettos and whose singer presented himself as an androgynous version of Iggy Pop? Yet Raped certainly didn't lack dark energy; developing a Punkrock directly descended from the Stooges and the Ramones, even the New York Dolls, the band offered raw, punchy, direct music, like Sean slashing his torso on stage... Nothing revolutionary, just good Punkrock with a slight glam edge and a few hits ('Normal', 'Raped'...). In 1978, Raped changed their name to Cuddly Toys to create a more decadent, darkly glam sound where the musicians finally revealed their true potential. Nevertheless, this small collection remains a treat for fans of good old-school Punkrock, its main weakness being that it doesn't quite measure up to the music of Cuddly Toys. (words by Moyen)

CHAOS U.K. - Total Chaos (The 7Inch Collection) 1991

We all know the great the Punk Collectors Series by Anagram Records which is always equipped with all rarities of the respective combos and today we enjoy the collection of Chaos U.K., a four piece formed 1979 in Portishead, near Bristol. They emerged as part of the Anarcho-Punk scene, developing a fast and aggressive HardcorePunk style, the original line-up consisted of Simon (vocals), Andy (guitar), Adrian (bass) and finally Richard (drums). The boys really kick with their three-chord, distorted guitars that almost always sound the same, and that's exactly the typical English speed sound I like to hear. You might think every song sounds the same and there's nothing new, but Chaos U.K. also has quiet moments and longer pieces. Not many, but they show that they have some instrumental mastery. The band recorded two EPs and a full album for Riot City Records and the debut was notable in the fact that the band's label claimed it was the "fastest, noisiest LP in the cosmos" in the short-lived "Punk Lives" magazine. Many records followed, their last one coming out in 2015. I guess they're still alive and touring the UK occasionally, and maybe something new will come out soon. I'm going to have breakfast now.

ANGELIC UPSTARTS - Reason Why? 1983

Now a classic one and everyone who follows this blog knows that I am a huge Angelic Upstarts maniac and I am happy to have been able to experience them live. Friends of the band know that they screwed up extremely badly with the previous album, as their record company at the time demanded that they tame their roots and put a miserable pop producer in front of them and demanded an album that would increase sales and it turned out to be, of course, a huge disappointment (although the original demos were really usable). Any sensible Upstarts friend couldn't help but thoroughly dissect this fourth album in a negative way. They went quiet and the deal with Anagram Records finally ensured a furious 'comeback' with some of what are now classics and showed the team back in their usual guise. Further infos are included on the insert, although I only have the CD version and some of it is poorly documented. Anyway, Reason Why? is a strong relic and of immense importance in the band's extensive discography.

V/A - Attrix Records (The Vaultage Punk Collection) 1997

Now a nice Compilation by Anagram Records and this is part of their legendary The Punk Collectors Series. Attrix Records (Brighton based Punk label formed in 1978 by Rick Blair. The first release was by his own band, Attrix, who the label were named after) is a well-known label that was active in the late 1970s and early 1980s and specialises in Punk and PostPunk sounds. The "Vaultage Punk Collection" includes a selection of rare 7Inches that showcase both well-known and lesser-known bands, mainly from Brighton, that played a small role in the early days of UK Punk. This nice collection is a successful Compilation, a kind of journey through the history of those early days, as I like it. Have fun with it and since there is no Bundesliga today it will be a lazy evening.

V/A - This Is Mod Vol.4 (Modities) 1996

I still have one for the weekend and the sound matches the setting evening sun that I am now enjoying from the balcony. Ladies & Gentlemen!, let's welcome Volume 4 of the This Is Mod series by the brilliant Anagram Records and the last I have. This Compilation feautures the rare 7Inches by these eight Modities which were published in the late Seventies/early Eighties and for some the only record. Like its predecessors, this little nugget is an absolute highlight of good songs by bands that hardly anyone knows anymore and purchasing one of these delicacies is not really cheap. You see, a real collector's item... like the original platten.

THE ADVERTS - The Punk 7Inches Collection 1997

One more from the Punk Collectors Series by Anagram Records and today the edition of the Adverts who formed in 1976 and broke up in late 1979, and this little sucker round up every A & B side (seven singles/fourteen songs) by one of the Punk's founding fathers and this fantastic package contains excellent liner notes from singer/songwriter TV Smith. Info: "With their raw, enthusiastic immaturity, the Adverts were a bright, though short-lived, light of the Punk era, distinguished by the fact that their bassist, Gaye Advert, was one of the first female stars of Punkrock. After they (barely) mastered one chord, the Adverts began playing at London's Roxy Club in 1976, where they quickly came to the attention of the Damned's guitarist Brian James. James offered the band an opening spot on the Damned's tour and directed them toward Stiff Records. Stiff released their self-deprecating debut single, "One Chord Wonders," in 1977, when the band could still barely play, but when they released their second single, the disturbingly funny "Gary Gilmore's Eyes," the group rocketed into the U.K. Top 20 in a storm of controversy. The Adverts' first album, Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts, fulfilled the single's promise, but the second, 1979's Cast Of Thousands, sounded like they poured all of their musical ideas into their first album; the group broke up the following year." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

Great music from a band that unfortunately had a much too short lifespan, but still brilliant nowadays!

THE LURKERS - Beggars Banquet 7Inch Collection 1997

Old acquaintances and always welcome guests in my theater and this is an excellent Compilation which features eighteen tracks by the Lurkers' early classic Singles, compiled by Anagram Records for their Punk Collectors Series, one of the best around this planet in my opinion. The Lurkers released a lot of 7Inches, and all A and B sides are immortalized here, I don't have to go into more detail to make this material appetizing for you because I think many of you have one or two records and you know exactly how hot the band is. This CD exudes energy and pure catchiness and the gents have been active since 1976, including some long breaks, and I think, it's time for another tour. So dear ones, now I'm going to do a little housework, and maybe I'll come back with more cool stuff. Stay tuned!

ALIEN SEX FIEND - The Singles 1983-1995

On the road since 1982 and still not tired, Alien Sex Fiend from London signed to the Cherry Red sub-label Anagram Records and releasing their first single 1983 and this nice Compilation features all 7Inches until 1995, and there are quite a few. But let me say this: You won't find all twenty-three songs in this file. The reason for this is, I prefer an audio CD and I can't get used with different mixes of a song either, I find it pointless. So there are fifteen songs left and I don't think more is needed and this selection definitely reflects the band's musical potential. Sounds that doesn't fit into any category and still evoke crazy vibes in me. Fazit: A good start for all newcomers, an entertaining listening pleasure for all connoisseurs! 👍

CH3 - I've Got A Gun/After The Lights Go Out 1991

Once again Anagram Records, today with a Compliation CD from their The Punk Collectors Series and on stage are Channel 3 from Cerritos/CA, formed 1980 by Mike (vocals/guitar), Kimm (guitar), Larry (bass) and Mike (drums). Info: the bands first release was the CH3 7Inch via Posh Boy Records and the slab received good critical notices, but the band’s limited exposure kept it a modest success. This began a campaign to play every show possible, in any location that would have the band. Interest began growing, the band got better, and by the time Fear Of Life was released Summer 1982, the band was ready for its first extensive US tour. At the time, touring the punk club circuit was a shaky proposition at best. There were lots of cancellations, lots of fights and the band’s constant travel probably contributed to its healthy turnover rate, and the 1983 tour in support of After The Lights Go Out saw Posh Boy Veteran Jay Lansford joining the band. Jay, a former member of the Simpletones and Stepmothers brought a new professionalism to them.  Channel 3 was at the peak of its popularity, playing to large crowds, and enjoying chart success in Europe with the I Got A Gun UK release. By the mid eighties, the band was spending more time in the rehearsal studio, experimenting with a five man lineup and stretching out creatively. Airborne , the first release on Enigma records, was a stylistic departure for CH3. Many fans refer to this as the definitive dawn of the “You Guys Suck!” phase in the band’s history. That record’s emphasis on song over speed alienated some fans, but allowed the band to begin playing more high profile shows. Empowered by a new sense of artistic freedom, Channel 3 then delivered Last Time I Drank in 1985, a record that many HardcorePunk fans found not only a shocking display of musicianship, but also a blatant display of disrespect of all things bald, broke, and smelling of clove cigarettes. Never fond of the strict conformity of Punk Rock’s non-conformist manifesto, the band continued to explore musically. The final release of the Eighties was the aptly named Rejected, a curious mix of studio projects that sounds like a weary Amen! after a long and desperate prayer...

The band kept a low profile through the Nineties. Besides the annual Doll Hut benefit show and the rare late night television appearance, the band had all but vanished. But CH3 was not done, they had simply retreated to the basement lab, plotting for the inevitable return with a maniacal laugh! Early 2000’s, CH3 found itself back on the road, and with a new record on Dr Strange Records, the band was back on track and curiously playing to bigger crowds than ever. The last sign of life on vinyl was the Put 'Em Up album (2017) and there will certainly something new, because the band are far from finished!

V/A - This Is Mod Vol.3 (A Diamond Collection) 1996

Third part by this excellent series called This Is Mod by Anagram Records and we listen to six bands and twenty-two songs, among them are a lot of well-known cover versions that make this compilation even more interesting in my opinion. I find that always exciting, because sometimes the implementation is much more attractive than the originals, and also own melodies/ideas are thrown in, sometimes totally fucked-up but not in this case.... and we all know, it's all a matter of taste. Well, if you enjoyed the first two volumes and you're open for that kind style/sound, I say: you won't be disappointed, it's definitely FUN!

ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - Complete 7Inches Collection 1995

The Anti-Nowhere League is an essential staple of the English Punkrock movement and one of my favourite bands because I like their provocative attitude and since 1980 they've made it clear live and with every album that you shouldn't piss on them. And the debut from 1982 We Are...The League is one of the best UK Punk Records in my opinion. This Compilation from Anagram Records features all their A and B sides from the early days and includes all their hit singles and is an ingenious journey through time and reflects the energy and hardness of the four in all pores of vitality and the Anti-Nowhere League is a band committed to offending people. '[We Won't] Remember You' is a strong statement and I don't know any band that such words interpreted, they don't give a shit if you like them or not and that feeling turns me on and exactly such bands are needed to kick the ass of lame new monotonous combos, Hell Yeah! and if you rediscover the gents, this CD is a good start and I recommend you: buy their fucking records and Pogo until the shit squirts out of your brain and I promise, you'll feeling the 100% perfect mood!  - And now I'm going out with my girl into the sun. 🌞 🍺 👽

ANTI-PASTI - The Best Of CD 1996

Now another decent compilation on Dojo Limited and it's called 'The Best Of' and I always have a hard time with such titles because the real crackers are usually missing. But everything fits with this CD and all their hits are there, but the other one on Anagram called The Punk Singles Collection is also okay and has one more song on it. Of course you can ask why the whole thing came out again at short intervals (two years), but that's not important. Short info: England 1978, the Punkrock explosion had enveloped the country. In Derby, Anti-Pasti arose from the ashes of several other well-meaning but otherwise non-committed early Punk bands and Martin (vocals), Dougie (guitars), Stu (bass), Stan (drums) come together in 1979 and decided to become a part of it and that resulted in five fabulous 7inches that were released within just two years, four of them on Rondelet Music Records, and are real rarities today. Furthermore they made three good albums and in January 1984 the band broke up. In the mid Nineties Anti-Pasti came back and several albums were re-issued on CD for the first time, were headlining at the Fuck Reading Festival, followed by a short tour through the UK and Europe with huge success and 2016 their fourth call Rise Up was proclaimed on Westworld Recordings and let's see what else is going further. Musically nice melodic and catchy songs with good lyrics and many invitations on relevant Compilations make clear, they're not unpopular with their music. You'll notice that too, I know!

V/A - This Is Mod Vol.2 (More Rarities 1979-1981)

I'll end the spring week with another compilation that's bursting with interesting music and a perfect start to recharge your batteries. A few weeks ago I started Volume 1 of this nice little series by Anagram Records which is brilliantly stocked with rarities, and the second ties in seamlessly with it. Seven more mod revivalists with their 7Inches are gathered here and intensifies this short-lived subculture with impulsive sound. And with this, a sunny weekend.

V/A - This Is Mod Vol.1 (Rarities 1979-1981)

Let's round off the small mod phase on wdthtc with the following compilation called This Is Mod, a small series by Anagram Records and a total of six CD's were created in the mid Nineties. The focus is on rare 7Inches, mostly by English bands, which only made it to this format and very sought nowadays. The British mod revival may have been a fad, driven by fashion and most of the time too derivative, but it did produce some cool singles. Musically they move in a decent PowerPop area with smart clothes and the artwork is also impressive, plenty of infos about each band. Consistently interesting and the last post for today, Bundesliga is waiting, Cheers!

V/A - Flicknife Records Punk Collection 1995

Let's move on to another compilation from the Punk Collectors Series from Anagram Records and this Volume is full with cool stuff. In addition to well-known bands, there are a few others represented here that put little on vinyl, but that makes this series so interesting. Flicknife Records started in October 1980 by Frenchy and Gina and the first release was the Mystere Fives No Message 7Inch in 1980 and the label is still active and holds on to the attitudes and beliefs that spurred Frenchy to start it. On this CD are the first songs from singles gathered that gave their best in the early days. Absolutely brilliant material and in two hours the SGE will follow versus Marseille, hope they win!

V/A - Punk Rock Rarities Vol.1 1995

The Punk Collectors Series by Anagram Records started in 1989 and ran until mid-2005 and were released only on CD, but considering what's packed on it, this format fits perfect in this case. The idea behind was to immortalize old out of print Punkrock 7Inches/Goodies onto one compilation, be it per band, be it per label, in both cases great pieces were pressed and I'm a big fan of this series. A few are already on the blog and more will follow. From the Rarities volumes exist only two outputs, but these have a lot to offer and are dedicated to bands that didn't get much attention and released only one or two singles on small labels during their active time. Many of you, myself included, hardly had a chance to get hold of the originals because they weren't distributed professionally, had small editions, were sold by the bands themselves and were therefore hardly known across borders, real D.I.Y. spirit you know and that's totally okay. And that's why it is important that labels use their possibilities to dig out such Nuggets, so that we, who are interested, can enjoy these forgotten bursts of creative innovation today, or simply: excellent stuff!

THE OUTCASTS - The Punk 7Inches Collection 1995

The following combo is also been a guest in my theater several times and it's the Bad boys of the Ulster Punk scene: The Outcasts - Formed in Belfast in June 1977 by the Cowan brothers: Greg (bass/vocals), Martin (guitars) and Colin (drums). They were joined by Getty on guitar. The band played their first gig in May 1977, playing a mixture of their own songs and cover versions. After building a strong local following, they were picked up by the local It record label, who released the band's debut single, Frustration, in May 1978. They were then signed to Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations label, who released Just Another Teenage Rebel 7Inch in November 1978, which saw the band receiving airplay on national radio from John Peel. And so the history went on. They made three albums and a few 7Inches and all those goodies are united here on this fantastic compilation by Anagram Records.

ONE WAY SYSTEM - This Is The Age 7'' 1983

Hmmm, I thought I'd posted something about the following combo, but apparently in my old Blog, well.... I'll catch up on this immediately, because they are among the heroes of early, typical trembling UK Hardcore/Punk sound. One Way System were formed 1979 in the Fleetwood area of Lancashire and shuffled through several different line-ups before settling into a quartet that would make the band's first life possible: Gavin (vocals), Craig (guitar), Gaz (bass), Tez (drums). They made their first mark on the Country Fit For Heroes compilation on No Future Records in 1982 which helped launch the debut EP Stab The Judge on Beat The System!! Records. They didn't release an album until 1983, when they switched to Anagram Records where consequently the debut All Systems Go appeared, based on the single Give Us A Future followed by the second album, The Writing On The Wall. 1984 came the next EP entitled Visions Of Angels, which raised hopes of a US tour as opener for the legendary Circle Jerks. Unfortunately Keith Morris (leader) broke his neck just before the start of the planned tour and the dream was over. One Way System played two shows in the States in lieu of the unrealized tour before deciding to go home and quit. Ten years later, in 1994, punk rock reissue specialists Captain Oi! re-released their two albums, followed by Anagram releasing a best-of in 1995, leading to a reunion. After that, Gavin and Gaz decided to continue and were replaced by Andy (bass) & Lee (vocals) respectively. New material were recorded for a few different labels and they've been rockin' & rollin' to heart attack ever since.
