WARFARE - Metal Anarchy 1985

Evo (vocals/drums), Gunner (guitars), Falken (bass) or better known as Warfare released their second blast via Neat Records and it's one of my absolute favorite records. I listened to the ten eruptions many times and I can say, this sound pushed myself in the direction of Hardcore & Punk. Here's a splendid review: "To the casual observer, Warfare's second album, Metal Anarchy, would seem like nothing more than a carbon copy of their first. But the welcome presence of heavy metal icon Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister in the producer's chair was just the first of many subtle difference-makers on hand. Besides putting his personal imprint on the material by giving it a distinct crunch and Motörhead-like echo, Lemmy may have also had a hand in helping Warfare fully embrace their metallic tendencies while putting their Punkrock habits behind them once and for all. Its two-faced title may have hinted otherwise, but the lyric choices and consistently ferocious attack inside were dead giveaways to this new focus. 

Borrowing a page from Accept's book of tricks (their classic tune "Fast as a Shrak," to be precise), Warfare kicked off Metal Anarchy with a misleading snippet of the Sound of Music soundtrack before rudely interrupting it with their most vicious thrasher yet, the apropos-named "Electric Mayhem." Ensuing standouts like "Death Vigilance," "Living For The Last Days," "Wrecked Society," and the title track never waver in intensity, yet they remain surprisingly accessible thanks to their clear, uncomplicated arrangements. All of which helped ensure that this record would go down as Warfare's finest album, but would also make it an impossible act to follow." (Eduardo Rivadavia)

Fucking Great Record!!!

DEAD KENNEDYS - @ The Farm, San Francisco 24.05.1985

Now for a current sad occasion a superb live recording by the fantastic Dead Kennedys and this record is one of a three vinyl record set called DK 40. D.H. Peligro, drummer the band, crashed at his home in Los Angeles on October 28, 2022 and succumbed to his head injury shortly thereafter. How he did it remains a fucking mystery. Fact is, the world is losing another great musician, even if he testified against Jello Biafra in the legal dispute between the former members and Jello after the dissolution, he will not be forgotten. So today's post is dedicated to him and I think a live record is just the right choice, because his skills and dynamic are here unpolished and demonstrate how important he was for the music of the best American Punk band ever in my opinion. Now enjoy these fifteen crispy recordings, pay your respect and remember him positively... R.I.P.

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!!

DEAD KENNEDYS - Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death LP + Flexi 7'' 1987

When I say goodbye I wanna be buried with this record. Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death is the last amazing album by the brilliant Dead Kennedys, my favorite band from the States, which appeared on Jello's Alternative Tentacles label after their dissolution in 1986. And it's become a compilation with all their 7Inch tracks plus rare live goodies, an awesome farewell by a great band. I quote the wiki entry here because these are really fitting words for this album I think: "The album consists of songs (or in some cases, different versions of songs) that were not released on the band's studio albums. The original vinyl version had tracks 16 and 17 on an extra flexi disc. The album was certified gold by both BPI and the RIAA in December 2007. The title is a play on the ultimatum by Patrick Henry, "Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!", and is intended as a commentary on American consumerism. Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death was the last Dead Kennedys album that Biafra approved the production of, which also led to it being the last album released through Alternative Tentacles.

The slab includes "Pull My Strings", which was played only once on March 25, 1980, when Dead Kennedys were invited to perform at the Bay Area Music Awards in front of music industry bigwigs to give the event some "new wave credibility". The band spent the day of the show practicing "California Über Alles", the song they were asked to play. About 15 seconds into the song Jello Biafra said, "Hold it! We've gotta prove that we're adults now. We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band." The band, who all wore white shirts with a big, black S painted on the front, pulled black ties from around the backs of their necks to form a dollar sign, then started playing "Pull My Strings", a satirical attack on the ethics of the mainstream music industry. The song also referenced the Knack's biggest hit, "My Sharona". The song was never recorded in the studio but this performance, the only time the song was ever performed, was included on the album.

Also included is "Night Of The Living Rednecks", which was recorded during a show in Portland, Oregon in 1979. East Bay Ray snapped a string on his guitar as the band finished their song "Chemical Warfare", and to pass the time Jello decided to tell a story, with an accompanying bebop-style instrumental from the rest of the band, about how on the last trip the band made to Portland, he had a confrontation with some "dumb rich kids" in a "life-size Hot Wheels car" that involved him throwing a rock at their vehicle after they sprayed water on him and later trapping himself in a telephone booth when they retaliated."

In principle, there is only one word for this record: Masterpiece! In the file I have attached the booklet as pdf, if you prefer jpeg click on the orange button.

V/A - Punk Territory Vol.1 - U.S.A. 1976-81 [1994]

Half time in Seville and again a damn good match. I really enjoy Euro 2020, I think the football crazy among you see it similarly. - I wanna use the break for a quick post of another small series, this time from the Italian label Anthology, their baby is simply called: Punk Territory. A total of seven CD's with rare singles by American, British and Italian bands were ruthlessly scattered among the cheering music lovers in the mid-nineties and like the well-known detectives, finest material has been accessible again and refreshed our listeners' hearts. A long time ago I posted Vol.7 and now I'm overwhelmed with the rest that I don't want to withhold from you and that will gradually appear here in this theater. One more reason to stay on the ball here (unfortunately no scans of the booklets within, should someone have these please send) Fazit: Volume 1 is full with twenty-six smashers, thirteen bands and only hits. And now ready for the second half ⚽⚽

V/A - Killed By John Peel #1 2020

Friends, there is hope again on the KBD front and after a long time finally a new compilation is out and the creators of Vatican Radio Records have the great idea "to conjure up one of the best punk rock compilations we've heard in a long time, from the amazingly rich vaults of John Peel's BBC 1 radio session recordings. Focusing on the less known side of the huge Peel Sessions catalog, Killed By John Peel comes stuffed to the rafters with mind blowing and little known gems from the opening track with French Synth Punk pioneers Métal Urbain and the incendiary recording of their hit E-202 to the closing with the kick ass Power Pop Punk hit She's Alarming by the Wasps, each and every single track on this monster record presents a band at their prime giving it all @ the legendary BBC Radio1 studios." And to my knowledge, Volume 2 is about to be release and we can look forward to it. Great stuff and absolute essential!

WARFARE - Noise Noise Noise (Lost Demos) 2015

Powerful record of one of my favorite bands and I'm really happy that some lengthy relationships implement such an idea and make it possible. Raising money is really not the reason, but for us maniacs as a thank you for beeing loyal fans. Warfare were Heavyypunx from Newcastle, founded in 1982 and disbanded in 1993. Their first line-up was Evo (vocals / drums), Gunner (guitars), Falken (bass) and this formation recorded the first two albums, which in my opinion are damn great and nowadays put some so-called hardcore bands in the shade. For High Roller Records Evo has now opened his vast archive of rare and unreleased Warfare recordings. The first release in the “vaultage series” is called "Noise Noise Noise (The Lost Demos)", a compilation of thirteen “lost” Warfare demos. “The source of those demos are first generation analogue cassettes,” explains Evo and features alternative versions of numerous early Warfare classics such as Burn Down The Kings Road, New Age Of Total Warfare or the wild Two Tribes (originally by Frankie Goes To Hollywood) as well as a plethora of completely unreleased material." I can only recommend you to buy this slab and don't be satisfied with cheap mp3s... the Total Death EP and a little compilation are required as well. More infos on HHR and now enjoy the furious and passionate ecstasy of the three.

V/A - Killed By Death #1010011010 2002

I think, it's time for another rare compilation from the grandiose Killed By Death series, today we dedicate ourselves to the 300 copies slab by Teenage Lust Records and meet twenty howlin' punk anthems of 1977-1982. The detectives convince with healthy taste and I think, the mix with well-known classics and pieces that are found somewhere on hard-to-get singles is fucking felicitous. Exact my bottle of Hefe and the right sound for breakfast! Admit, you've been waiting for this a long time...

V/A - A Small Retrosperspective (Live!) 2019

Ein neues Produkt aus dem Hause WDM Records und da April ausschließlich Live Postis gewidmet ist wuchs die Idee einer superben compilation mit solchen Aufnahmen die ich hier und da fand oder auf meiner Festplatte schlummerten. Bevorzugt mit Bands die ich teilweise erlebt habe und ich besonders gern auflege. Ich glaube das Ergebnis kann sich hören und sehen lassen und besonders das Artwork alter Eintrittskarten schwirrte mir seit langem im Kopf herum, das hat eine Menge fantastischer Erinnerungen hervor gerufen, schön war's! Ich wünsche Euch jetzt abwechslungsreichen Hörgenuß mit diesem kleinen Rückblick.

    A new product from WDM Records and because April is dedicated to Live posts grew the idea of a superb compilation with recordings that I found here and there or slumbered on my hard disk. Preferably with bands that I have partially experienced and I often put on my turntable. I think the result can be heard and seen, and especially the artwork of old tickets has been buzzing in my mind for a long time, it has brought back a lot of fantastic memories, it was nice! I wish you a varied listening pleasure with this small retrosperspective.

THE DARK - The Living End 1982

Second and last output by The Dark, a quartet from Islington, on Fallout Records and this captures the band playing their last ever gig (June 1982). Allow me a short info from PunkyGibbon: Formed in late 1978, it took them a year or so to hit their stride. Their first lineup - John Flannagan (vocals), Billy O'Neil (guitar), Phil Langham (bass) and Jim Kane (drums) - lasted long enough to play just two gigs and record a demo. At this point Andy Riff (ex-Rotting Klits and The Suspects) joined on rhythm guitar and O'Neil played lead. The Rotting Klits had played a total of eight gigs (including several with Menace) and The Suspects had played four. After a few 7Inches they recorded the outlandishly Chemical Warfare album which is my opinion a Top UK punk record and everybody should have heard that and also the Captain Oi! compilation The Best Of The Dark ('95) with all their recordings, awesome.

WARFARE - Total Death EP 1985

I'm ripping at the moment the first solo album by Evo which is called Warfare and was released via High Roller Records and it's a nice appearance and Evo is probably better known to you as drummer/singer of the Newcastle Metalpunx Warfare, which made in the 80's some great records on Neat Records and that's why I choose this little four track EP as next post. What should I tell you? I always like to remember a festival with four bands in a gym in Frankfurt 1986 and it was fantastic, Warfare was the last act and thirty people were left, simply the real Hardcores. The band threw cucumber juice and the pogo usually ended up on the ass, I never experienced anything like that and I was young and enjoyed it very much. Those who were there at the time can remember what I'm talking about; yes yes, the good old days. Don't miss the Crescendo Of Reflections compilation with old songs in a new dress ('91). And now off to the weekend!

V/A - Hardcore Holocaust (87-88 The Peel Sessions) 1988

OK, I don't know who sent this fantastic compilation in and actually it doesn't matter.. fact is: we're listen now to a first-class tone document and John Peel was an important component for many underground bands and he gave them a chance in his broadcast and some managed to swim up, I wish there are more people like him nowadays. - All these recordings were made on different days and invited were UK hardcore bands which bring loud fast Hard/Grindcore messages across and this record is a fuckin' explosion. I'm not a big fan of such stuff but there are phases I need that and I remember that I had the first Napalm Death 'Scum' and I never heard such stuff before, certainly a classic nowadays, but I sold the slab quickly... now thirty years later I think shit (maybe any of you have a superb vinyl rip with covers for wdthtc?). This record was released via Strange Fruit and sweeps the dust like a Tsunami out of your pores - the weekend can start off!

THE SYSTEM - Thought Control 1997

Since I do a boat trip on the weekend and now I'm sick. Since yesterday plague me sore throat and it's damn unpleasant. Hope it goes quickly away. Last Friday I ripped this brilliant record by the System and today I come to post this and the advantage here is that a short bandbio is print on the backcover so here it is: The System formed in the summer of 1980 having messed around in various other bands since 1978. In 1981 they met a band called Flux Of Pink Indians, who helped them make their first single - the Warfare EP. This was very successful and contained their anthem - the Dogs Of War. By mid 1981 they were touring with Flux Of Pink Indians and the legendary Crass. They followed up with their second single - The System Is Murder. By this time they were being recognized all over the UK, Europe and the USA. Soon the album would follow and this record, however, never saw the light of day until 1997, through the help of Profane Existance and Skuld Records. Sorry it is a bit late but politics never change. And its as relevant today as it would have been then. Thirteen very good pieces, two of them live, chic presentation and recommended.

DEAD KENNEDYS - Jello's Revenge [Live '79+'85]

Classic stuff today with the Dead Kennedys, an American punk band formed in San Francisco, California 1978. Pioneers of hardcore punk during the 1980s, the band gained a large underground following in the international punk music scene. This is all I write about them. The Dead Kennedys influenced me total and after my first listening my resolution was fixed to be a punkrocker. Finally I discovered the life style I wanted. Best US punk band ever. Songs 1-10 recorded at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, California on October 25, 1979 and 11-21 recorded live at The Farm in San Francisco on May 24, 1985. The 1979 tracks are sequenced in a different order than they were actually played. This bootleg omits some of Jello's talking between songs. Both shows were originally mastered and are a must have.

Police Truck/Holiday In Cambodia/Chemical Warfare/Ill In The Head/Short Songs/California Über Alles/Kill The Poor/Funland At The Beach/When Ya Get Drafted/Dread Locks Of The Suburbs/Take This Job & Shove It/Macho Insecurity/Man With The Dogs/Soup Is Good Food/Too Drunk To Fuck/MTV Get Off The Air/A Child And His Lawnmower/One Way Ticket To Pluto/Lie Detector/Goons Of Hazard/Let's Lynch The Landlord

D.R.I. - Live @ CBGB'S New York 1984

This brings back a lot of memories. In the early 80s I listen to a lot of Metal stuff because I was a Metaller with all my heart. I leave this style when I came in touch with American Hardcore bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Warfare (UK) etc.... so also with D.R.I. The Hardcore sound was an integral part in this scene and then more and more concerts took place I rather visited of course those gigs as Megadeth or Anthrax. 1986 then D.R.I. live in my city, together with Holy Moses (ARRGGHHH!) and this show changed my lifestyle completely. I will not say that they made me a punk because I've also heard some German punk bands, EA80, Slime, Daily Terror, OHL for example, but they were rarely present live as the ami bands. I would say my interest in metal was deleted this evening, First-class performance with pogo till the shack crashed, unforgotten. Who ever saw a D.R.I. gig can attest to this. A little info:

D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) is a crossover thrash band from the United States that formed in Houston, in 1982. The band currently comprises founding members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as drummer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen. D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries - most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion Of Conformity and Stormtroopers Of Death - alongside whom they are considered pioneers of what would later be called "crossover thrash." They have released seven original studio albums, the last of which was released in 1995. Since then, the band has continued touring and intermittently going on hiatus. In 2004, D.R.I. released a web-only demo track "Against Me", their first recording in a decade. For years, there has been talk of an eighth D.R.I. album, which has yet to materialize.

The first three albums are all terrific and as '4 Of A Kind' came out the music was too monotonous to me and I lost interest. I love more the rapid, wild aggressive sound and here on this CD are all their hits. Forty songs in Thirty-Nine minutes. A Must Listen!!

here

THE STRIKE - Oi! Collection 2004

This is a damn cool release from a damn cool band. The Strike never recorded an album and on this collection are songs from the Split Skin's & Punks 2 with The Betrayed, three demo cuts and all their official bastards. Unbelievable that their material was released so late because The Strike were founded in the late 70's near Inverness. Their first vinyl appearance were two songs on the Strength Thru Oi! compilation, Gang Warfare and Skinhead, both fucking good. Other compilations goodies followed but for an own album has it as I said never be enough, for whatever reason. There is an informative biography inside by Fergus (singer) so I don't wanna tell you. Musically fourteen shiny Oi! smasher with heart & power!

WARFARE - Crescendo Of Reflexions 1991

At an early hour the right soundtrack and for this we swing over to the British Island to one of my favourite metal/trash/punk band: Warfare from Newcastle, a Punk edged Metal band. Their debut Pure Filth from 1984 is fuckin' great and I listen to it several times and even today at least once a month. It's a classic and this stuff always brings good memories back. This compilation delivered through Kraze Records, recorded at Trinity Heights Studios summer '91 in Newcastle, found Evo, guitarist J.J. (actually Jeff Dunn - Mantas of Venom) and bassist Zlaughter re-working the band's best known songs from their older days. I think this was only released in the U.S.A. but I'm not sure. A good mix from their first three LP'S inside and the new recordings shred across very nice. There are many compilations that nobody needs and only released to make tons of money but this little CD is different and I think for new fans an excellent overview to shed light closer on this band. By the way, cool cover.

CHAOS - Tribal Warfare EP 1984

Pogar was a small vinyl punk label in West Berlin of the eighties, which originated in 1981 in the former Berlin indie record store Vinyl Boogie. A total of about 50 different titles appeared on Pogar and this is Pogar 10. Chaos is one of these very unknown bands because they never release an official album, 1980 came their first demo out and then further a few tapes. In 1984 in an edition of 1000 their only vinyl here on Pogar Records. A compilation CD with all their recordings were released from Street Dogs Records and that's it. At that the 4 gents are not bad at all. Typical 80's UK punk sound in the vein of G.B.H, just a bit dirtier. Nice driving guitars, a decent tempo and a cool voice, really a lost nugget. What's next Baby???

DEAD KENNEDYS - Forward To Death 1981

Fantastic bootleg from the best American punk band all the time. Some releases have on the back cover a sticker with -Live In USA-, but I think that these recordings are from a gig in Stuttgart. Proof of this is that I once had a tape with the same songs and there stood: Live in Stuttgart, 14.November 1981, next Jello use the word Stuttgart in the song 'Bleed For Me' and why he should mention in the U.S. the word Stuttgart? And last but not least, the audience screams really 'Zugabe' and Heino is coming along and that can only be in Germany, right? The recordings are quite excellent and Jello's announcements about the songs is on world's top. This bootleg is by far the best of the Dead Kennedys (apart from the fact that the last song unfortunately breaks off in the middle...but Fuck!, that's the deal with bootlegs). As a small little bonus, I've packed the two songs from the flexi 'Give Me Convencience Or Give Me Death' LP in it. You must be satisfied.

Man With The Dogs/Forward To Death/Kepone Factory/Life Sentence/Trust Your Mechanic Moral Majority/Forest Fire/Winnebago Warrior/Police Jerk/Bleed For Me/Holiday In Cambodia Let's Lynch The Landlord/Chemical Warfare/Nazi Punks Fuck Off/Bigger Problem Now/Too Drunk To Fuck
