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 - USA 1981 [2019]

Friends, March is rolling in and let's heat up the freezing temperatures with the following slab, which ranks among the best I've heard in a long time. It's good to see, things are happening again on the KBD / Bloodstains front and the detectives have outdone themselves with this compilation and I can recommend you the purchase without hesitation, but you have to be quick, it's "limited to 300 copies and then no more!" Nineteen bands, twenty-two rare songs and one cracker chases the other. The artwork is more colorful than what we know from the classics, but liner-notes to the bands or other infos have been saved (only all 7Inch covers on the back), too bad... two points deducted in the B-note. But that's a mosquito fartz in view of this brilliant record, because as it says here: "Why pay $500 to some gold digger for a 7Inch when you can get the whole package here?" Think about it!!

DEPROGRAMMER - s/t LP 1982

After two great 7Inches on At Last Records Deprogrammer, Richard (vocals), Philip (guitars), Paul (bass), Philipp (drums), from Texas released 1982 via Mystic Records their only full length. Very intoxicating mid-tempo punk that shines on the A-side with two minute crackers while the B side contains more than three minutes songs; reminds me of the sixties 7Inches, which were mostly equipped in this format. Anyway, on compilations rarely represented, just why? - It's time to pack my bag and do some important things.
