LES VERMINES - Lulu's Bollocks Circus 1985

Today a record from the wanted list and it's the second mini-album by the Vermines from Rouen and their debut Bad Childhood (1983) was already a classic, so the second slab is a decent sequel. Unfortunately only eight songs on it, but every one is a real treat, the four know how to write good songs and be remembered. In 1989 follows a cassette with rough recordings called We'll Pull A Fast One On You (listen) and this tape pretty much reflects the concerts of the Vermines, in terms of atmosphere and rhythm. Superb and passionate!

LES VERMINES - Bad Childhood 1983

Now to a combo that already appeared sporadically in wdthtc on some compilations: Les Vermines from Rouen, active around 1980-1989. Line-up: White Spirit (vocals), Torchon (guitar), Ted (bass), Daniel (drums) and this is their amazing debut on Rive Gauche Records. Bad Childhood is peppered with eleven superb candy canes. Info: To history and purists, punk has only lasted for a season. In 1977, the death knell had already sounded. This did not prevent the Vermines from continuing the adventure in the 80s with two albums in their own juice worthy of the best English productions of the good era. Adopting the language of the Queen of England, the group doesn't seem to care about this detail of the story and rushes headlong into a punk à la Sex Pistols and Ramones from which they also cover the title Blitzkrieg Bop and Warhead by the UK Subs on this album. The Rouen scene can be proud of these boys and you can convince yourself by the excellent songwriting and the amazingly good quality of these four. Recorded & mixed in twenty-two hours during summer 1983. They left two albums, a 7Inch and a tape for posterity, plus some compilation appearances. Brilliant debut in every way!

V/A - Planet Punk #3 2004

Planet Punk is/was another serie of selfmade compilations/revival from Chuck Warner’s Hyped2Death efforts, and before your requests for Volume 1 + 2 come, these are not available. The first appearances of this homework label in this theater have already been made through the Bad Teeth series and H2D is focused on early KBD slabs, sometimes worldwide, sometimes country-specific, and this Fucker is dedicated to rare European stuff. The exact year of publication is given by me, because I believe that it must have been generated at this time, of course I can be wrong, but that doesn't really matter, it is important that they exist and that people like Chuck make such treasures tangible and unforgettable, I am like him and as a regular reader of this blog you already got to know some nuggets from WDM Records. Well, you can listen to thirty decent cool songs, most of them already on vinyl (click on the top left), but this compilation is just this kind of work that was cobbled with passion, a lot of time, heart & soul and deserves your respect and attention. Enjoy the delicate tones and Volume #4 is coming soon.

V/A - Killed By Death #100 1997

Und wenn ich schon die famosen Sampler vorher erwähnte hier the next round Killed By Death and this volume features international punk from 1975 - 1983. A lot of the records are postin' here and the rest safely elsewhere. 1.700 copies pressed in two batches of 850. The detectives did again a brilliant job, the song selection is excellent for my taste and released is this bootleg compilation again by Murder Records. Really good stuff and I grant full marks and that's really the last for today!
