ENDE NOVEMBER - Discography 2006

The music of this band would certainly run past me, and I am grateful that this was prevented (Cheers, Contra!!). Ende November were Vlado Jelic (Vocals/Lyrics/Guitars), Jo Tiedau (Bass) and Stephan Krakau (Drums/Percussion) and come from Cologne. "Through our music, there are two things to know: We sing in German, we make music which is peculiar." Well, their music moves between fast and melodic passages, slightly tinged dark and a comparison with EA80 is quite not wrong. "Besides the music we care about the content: by Dylan we have copied us how summarizes internal processes into words. The same goes for Cohen and Nick Cave. On the other hand, that does not always have to be slow and deliberate. Role models are nice and very well, Ende November is neither a cover combo, even a static project. Ende November is a living process..." To date, unfortunately, is not a single vinyl release of the band appeared (except one song on the Kalte Sterne & Friss Deine Kultur compilations) and I find that quite strange because the band deserves more attention. Musically and lyrically they belong to the premier league and they kick the blues out of every couch potato. So this post here is a selfmade CD with almost all recordings. Meanwhile, the band exists no longer. What remains? Download!!!!

KOMA KOMBO - Aufgepaßt Zugefaßt! 1983

Fuckin' rare mini 12'' from Hamburg by Koma Kombo, a band who put their first two songs on the debut release via the great Hamburg label Weird System, the legendary Waterkant Hits Compilation, in 1983. And after this Koma Kombo released this explosive record (maybe the same recordin' session) via KO Records, comes with lyric-sheet and in multi-colored and black vinyl. Mike Stanger (ex-singer of The Buttocks) on guitar, Eugene Honold (editor of "Pretty Vacant" fanzine) on drums, Clemens Schilling (vocals), Peter Tanke (bass) and Detlef & Frank, two guest guitarists, they recorded eight songs: offensive shouting, aggressive lyrics, melodic & snotty garage punk sound and then quickly passed. Even Franz-Josef Strauß comes here to speak, cool pad, haha.. - This is the worst thing about good records, they are just too short! Yeah, but who wants to listen to synthetic heavy metal shit with long unnecessary solos??? Let's have fun with this catchy record and enjoy!

NEUROTIC ARSEHOLES - Duisburg, 2.Mai 1989

Very cool bootleg by the Neurotic Arseholes, rushes though a little but the sound is quite OK & 45 minutes playing time. I've seen them in their 1998 final last tour in Frankfurt & Hamburg. Fantastic concerts with a lot of Pogo and it is really a pity that the Arseholes no longer exist. Next EA80 one of my favorite german punk bands. I used the cover from their "Paradise" EP which was sold on their last gig on 25. January 1986 in Bielefeld. Sound quality is consistently acceptable. Good choice!!!!

V/A - Neue Klänge Für Die Endzeit 2007

Passend zu grauen Novembertagen a discovery of new German 'dark' punkrock and for me this is a remarkably good compilation. And if I say that as not a friend of new punk records you can be sure I mean it. Impact Records released this CD with new bands, partially known (Front, Die Angst, Ernährungsfehler) and they manage to venture a look which new bands move up here. Ja, Ja!! That goes for me too, haha..... - Musically all 9 groups, each with two songs, make their appearance decent, bring over a powerful and angry sound, very good lyrics and the nice mix of fast and slow numbers round off this Silberling. An amusing announcement of moving moments and honest reality. I'm sure many have already found their fans and more records will be interesting. Both Thumps Up, ma Chérie!!

V/A - SST Acoustic 1991

First post for today and I have a big hangover of too much drinkin' yesterday, puhhhhhh - so here we go: SST Records is a record label formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California by Greg Ginn. It was originally an electronics company called SST (Solid State Transformers). The label was a prominent figure in the L.A. punk scene around 1980 and 1981, releasing more albums by Black Flag as well as Minutemen, Descendents, and Stains and has since remained a major symbol of the city's underground culture. SST quickly branched out in its early years to release albums by bands outside of the southern California area. All these songs on this album are released but came here together in a different version and every song is cool and shows that PUNK is no being brainwashed by fuckin' MTV or other sources and this LP shines through without all the studio tricks. I know ya’ll are excited so I won’t make you wait any longer to get this solid album with massive hits!!!!!

V/A - How Will You Know What This Record Sounds Like If You Don't Listen To It 1987

Last post today brings us a benefit Compliation for the AJZ Ludwixhafen and the bands all from Germany except Disperazione from Italy. A colorful mix of punk, hardcore, a few live tracks and a little obscure stuff and special mention here are the bands which contribute each song, known and unknown bands and I mean this is a perfect combination. Released I think, in a limited edition and now hard to get. My copy I bought on ebay and unfortunately with no booklet. Too bad, so I can give no further information on but it's not necessary. Regardless, every song is brilliant, no failures, recorded exclusively for this compilation. Sounds neither embarrassing or boring, see for yourself, enjoy this pretty rare record and have fun!

V/A - Killed By Death #007 2000

In principle I like almost every Killed By Death compilation LP but in this I was very excited so far. The track list here reads like a historical event, equipped with tons of rarities nowadays which are only still available at exorbitant prices. You can probably imagine how happy I am when this part of cream fluttered into my house. At this point, again my deep bow to you, Fredrik. I will not use more words about the music, only this: This compilation kicks every lame ass and shoots like a machine gun, volley to volley, in your blood. Whoever here sits still is definitely disturbed. 1000 copies, I think, were made and this is a german release. Generally an awesome LP with no losers and nice to see some good French bands, especially Les Olivensteins, and the Remo Voor song is really cool as well. Pflicht-Download!!!!

V/A - Hamburg '88

The LP one's I had to sell due to lack of money and bought after a long time again. Well, sometimes the good things just come back to one, how life sometimes is. Only rare tracks on this compilation of good Hamburg bands right here at the start. The pretty cover of Billy Bragg's 'My Youngest Son' from Legendary Nice Boys (Slime members) is worth buying this record. But also the other bands here are very awesome and the sound range goes from '77 punk, hardcore to a little bit slightly metallic tunes (100% Diskretion). Ingeniously the three songs from Omicidio and I think these are the only cuts they made on vinyl. Would really like to hear more from them but found nothin'. Emils, C³I and Angeschissen, three awesome bands which you can grab also in this theatre. So finally, Punk in 1988 was a time of change with variable fresh sound and I can only highly recommend this record and I promise you will be thrilled.

1.Kicks - DESTINATION ZERO

2.Keine Antwort - C³I

3.Noiseless Scream - EMILS

4.Sprung Ins Leere - OMICIDIO

5.My Own Life - 100% DISKRETION

6.Schwein - ANGESCHISSEN

7.My Youngest Son - THE LEGENDARY NICE BOYS

8.Legale Mörder - EMILS

9.Packen Wir's An - C³I

10.Finsterer Tag - OMICIDIO

11.Time Is Too Short - DESTINATION ZERO

12.Kill The Nature - 100% DISKRETION

13.Allein Zu Zweit - ANGESCHISSEN

14.Prince Of Hell - EROSION

15.Skeptischer Blues - OMICIDIO

16.Angesägtes Humpty Dumpty - 100% DISKRETION

VAN HELLSING - Celestial Beggars EP 2003

The first side project from EA80 bassist Oddel called: Van Hellsing. Unfortunately, this is their only release to date (SwampRoom Records, 1000 copies) and I remember the concert in the cold February 2009 in Aachen, me and my beloved girl drove out there and I had terrible headaches and I already wanted to go back home but it was a wonderful exhilarating evening. Three bands were announced, the first is not worth talking about and when The Landlords entered the stage my mood was transformed and the beer suddenly tasted good. By the way, very charming people, the Landlords, bought here their first record and after good 45 minutes then Van Hellsing enter the stage and with their dirty garage rock & roll sound they got to boil the AZ. Galactic Appearance!!! After the gig we had a lot of fun and it was a long long night, ohh I remember it so well.....So if you have the chance to see them live, go and be amazed, but you must be lucky because they are finished but maybe they come back for a short blitz. So enjoy now four groovy numbers and let it rip.

V/A - Not So Humdrum 1984

Let's move to down under and visit Sydney and I'm in love with punk from there. This record is the second Aberrant Sydney Compilation and all three records are delicious. Every song's a killer and I can not say more than this is a real damn good record. In 1987 the french label Ripost Records put this album out again with a different cover and a 4-page info sheet which is not included [:(]. Anyway, enjoy great tunes from this area and watch out for the other two volumes.
