V/A - Smash The State Vol.1 1994

Oi, now we move over the ocean and visit Canada and find this little sunshine called Smash The State Vol.1. And this compilation has it all. Eighteen early canadian punk smash hits and they just fits everything: brilliant bands with superior songs. Much much better than the second album for my taste. Get and celebrate this early Canadian punk album. It exists a book with the same title with lots of pretty details of any Canadian vinyl release from 1977 up to 1992. I never read it but I think it's worth buying.

V/A - Going Nowhere Slow 1990

Another pearl is this international punk compilation. Released on the legendary german punk label Double A Records in 1990, the vinyl is marble red & yellow transparent and the bands on it are all incredible. Reiner uses his contacts to invite the bands to be part of this comp and this is one I can listen to everytime. Never boring spray all 17 songs an amazing power to me immediately straight into my heart. The successful mix of hardcore & melodic punk rock shows how many great bands were alive around the world. That's why I love such platters like these and I enjoy to listen to again & again. I think, this is the meaning of compilations at all. So if you love a varied sound grap fast and shake your ass.

V/A - Punk ¿Qué Punk? Vol.2 1994

DRO, an independent now-defunct spanish music label, released this compilation in 1994 and were famous with mainly lots of releases of Spanish new wave groups, from pop to punk to industrial. The label was bought in early 90's by East West, due to financial problems. It was by then a main stream label already. The label was founded in 1982, with the first release of Aviador Dro, a minimal electronic pop band from Madrid, Spain. And here they have released another highlight, perhaps the last useful publication, from the sunny south of Europe into the world, and it is a gem. 14 Spanish-Punk-Rock-Grade A. After Volume 1 has already been a killer follows with part two the essential sequel. The songs were recorded between 1983 - 1992 and again they show that Spain also had a colorful active underground scene. A colorful mix of all punk-styles can be heard and blessed are the makers...cooles Teil!

13.No Pasarán - REINCIDENTES
14.Tu Único Fan - SEGURIDAD SOCIAL

V/A - Punk Will Never Die! 1994

The next compilation brings us punk rock from around the world and let us see what the 90ziger had. The LP was produced in collaboration between two very good German labels, Höhnie Records and Nasty Vinyl, and the result is another superb selection of damn good punkrock songs. It's difficult for me here to put any band especially highlighted because all participants deliver here first class stuff.. Interesting especially the exotics from the Philippines and Colombia, I mean that's true punk underground and who can say from these countries have many records, unless you live there. Another plus is the beautiful elaborate booklet inside which is a poster, full with lyrics, pictures and contact informations...I like that! - Musically is here is anything from melodic punkrock, hardcore and funny tunes. Try a song and you know what I mean. Very good record from Germany with awesome music.

V/A - Killed By Death #24 1999

If you're looking for more old punk stuff then you lucky, your search stops here. After a bit of a breather in the swarm of Killed By Death comps issued, this one comes as a breath of fresh air. A good mix of never-before comped bands and uncomped songs by bands we all know and love, mostly here from Europe & the USA, consistently a further essential worthwhile punk compilation. After the first listening by this piece of vinyl I felt every song would go over 3 minutes and that's quite unusual for a KBD sampler but what makes this a special one. At this stage of the compilation game (mid 1999) it would be near impossible to put out an LP of mostly unknown killer material from 1977-1981. There's still some number of LP's worth of material that could (and likely will) be released and this record will compare well to most anything else to follow.

1.Muff Divin' - GIZMOS
2.Underground - CINECYDE
3.N-N-E-R-V-O-U-S - TRASH
4.Cold Beat - THE SOUND
5.Way Out World - SHRAPNEL

9.Back Street Billy - BILLY KARLOFF BAND
10.You Gotta Support - SUBWAY
11.Accident - WARM GUN
12.Pretenders Zeal - NUCLEAR SOCKETS
13.Chinese Boys - ZERO ZERO
14.I Used To Know You - NCM
15.Electric Chair Execution - THE STUDS
16.Abortus Vrij, De Vrouw Beslist - BASTA


V/A - The Sound Of Hollywood [Girls] 1982

This LP was the first installment in the underground label Mystic Records “The Sound Of Hollywood” series which documented underground bands in L.A. and this edition focused on female-fronted groups, dominated by punk acts shows this pretty record cool female bands from the west coast. "As the title indicates, this album consists of bands from greater LA with a prominent female component. Musically, it's a mixed bag of styles ranging from punk (SIN 34, DE DE TROIT) to garage (I.U.D.) to various forms of pop (the L.A. GIRLS, TOXIC FUMES, the SKIRTS, HOT FOOD TO GO) to warpo country (the SCREAMIN' SIRENS) to awful hard rock and heavy metal (BUTCH, HELLION, BITCH are awesome, SOLOMAN KANE). No one will like it all; the question is whether you'll like enough of it to make it worth buying." - Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #10, December 1983)

V/A - Belfast Rock 1978

One more superb compilation here and this time we head to Northern Ireland and see what's going on there at the end of the 70s. From this small part of Ireland came a number of very good Punk & Powerpop bands and their singles are nowadays extreme rare and highly coveted by collectors (It's no different with this album). A few months ago I posted the first Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland record which is damn good and more punk you know. After listen I thought I have more stuff from this area and I find this goodie and since I have ripped the plate several months ago so it could appear here. Released via Rip Off Records shows this stuff a good mix of pretty decent guitar sounds, partially published as 7inches. The only deficit: no info sheet but we live in modern times so visit irishrock for details about the bands. In 1980 the label Shock Rock released another compilation called simply Belfast which is also great. That's all from me for today, wanna move to bed now, tomorrow is another hard working day!
