STOCKHOLMS NEGRER - Fy Fan Svenska Flicka 7'' + Jag Är En Vit Neger 7'' 1985

Stockholms Negrer was a Swedish punk band, active with concerts in the second half of the 1980s. They released four 7inches and three albums, here are their first two ones. Formed by Michael Alonzo from KSMB with amongst other his brother "Totte". Johan Johansson the drummer from KSMB played drums on the first Stockholm Negrer record and did some gigs with the band, but was never a real member of the band. He had his own band at the same time called Strindbergs, Lutte Larsson, an other drummer for the band, earlier played in Sixten Redlös. During the 90th century the first half, they continued to play much but made no further recordings. Their provocative lyrics and image still continues to annoy and upset. For example, the two songs from 1986, "Gratis Hora (Free Whore)" and "Djävulsrasen (Devil's Race)" are so controversial that they were forbidden to be given out on vinyl and exists today only in some occasional surreptitious copies of cassettes, distributed by the group friends. Rough '77 punk sound with a lot of tempo, a typical Swedish classic record. Nothing wrong here! After the reunion of KSMB the band split up. Compilation featuring the band: "Kyssar Från MNW", "Volym 4 Den Bästa Svenska Musiken 80-Tal" and "Svenska Punkklassiker Volym 2".

EPPU NORMAALI - Jee Jee 7'' 1978

Eppu Normaali is one of the most popular rock bands in Finland. The band formed in 1976 in Ylöjärvi, a small town near Tampere, whose lyrics are written in their native language. The band's name comes from the movie Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks. The brain, which has stolen the laboratory assistant is labeled with the name of 'Abby Normal' and actually a warning that the brain is abnormal. Abnormal translated into Finnish means Epänormaali. The band's first public appearance took place at the Rockin SM-Cup in 1977. The jury was unimpressed but singer Juice Leskinen encouraged them to send out demo’s. Soon they were signed at Poko Rekords and released their debut album ‘Aknepop’. Styled after the Ramones it was filled with short punk-pop songs. While the band has sold in Finland more than 1.5 million albums, they enjoy legendary status and all the albums, at least one gold record, have generally receive platinum or multi-platinum awards, but outside the Finnish-speaking countries they are hardly unknown. This 7'' was released via Poko Rekords and here we have 2 great punk rock tunes. Splendid!

REKLAMATION - Namnlös EP 1980

Just visit Sweden and encounter this rare & amazing KBD punk record which was ca. 500 times pressed. Founded in Stockholm as a four piece combo and this is their only release but it proves once again that Sweden had at that time an intact punk scene. All four songs kicks every fat ass and you're a fool to ignore them. Dirty catchy guitars without exception at cyberspeed as I like it. Info about the band I cannot find but who give's a shit, the music here is fuckin' great and all members are millionares today. They feauterd on these both compiltions Varning För Punk & Killed By Death #51. Reklamation? Yeah, a must have!!!

GREG SAGE - Straight Ahead 1985

OK, folks...what should I write to this amazing artist/music/record?? Greg Sage is the man! And for all you people who don't know him first told he is the head of the brilliant Wipers. You can buy every record from this extraordinary band and none of the albums is disappointing. I must confess: I'm the absolute Wipers freak and so I am little biased but this is Greg Sage solo here and We both love his stuff. He wrote songs that really catch you and you find yourself in every single one (at least my beloved girlfriend and me this went for). I could now tell stories where, when we heard this fantastic LP but I'll spare you, this is mine. On this record twelve unique grenades which Mr.GuitarMan wrote in a fit of melancholy aggressiveness and I can understand every single feelin'. Believe me, I say this not because I like him, this is pure magic and there are cartainly a few on this fucking planet who can do that. Well, my life hangs through and this sound kicks me further forward! Fat thanks to Lars which brought me to the idea to post this album here because he missed it and was amazed....me too. Includes all cover scans and ripped in glorious 192 kBit/s. Get It!!

LOS VIOLADORES - Y Ahora Que Pasa Eh? 1985

Los Violadores (The Rapists) is called a music group that was founded 1980 in Argentina. They played mostly punk rock with Spanish lyrics. The group, which is regarded as Argentina's first punk band, parted several times, but is active for their second reunion since 1999. Musically influenced mainly by the Clash, they played punk music with social criticism texts. In the process of national reorganization in Argentina their shows were canceled, the band members arrested several times and it was forbidden to them under their original band name provocative act. Therefore, the band appeared at times as "Los Voladores" (The Flyer) and spread their music in the underground scene. Although they started playing at the beginning of 1980 in small underground clubs, the band clearly shows their "Anti Dictatorship" position and their debut album, recorded between May & June 1982 during the "Falklands War", and was released in 1983. Unlike the raw, thrashy hardcore produced in neighboring Brazil, Los Violadores are more '77 influenced. In 1984, Los Violadores were asked to contribute a track for the now legendary P.E.A.C.E. compilation. By then, they were already changing direction towards a more commercial one, something typical for many bands from the era. Their second LP "Y Ahora Que Pasa, Eh?" is definately more rock/pop influenced, but still enjoyable. So enjoy this awesome album as I do and watch out for more releases.

V/A - Smashed Again!!! [Special] 2013

It's time to post another selfmade compilation which I made for our vacations and it gets me very sad but I think you will like it. Here's the original description from my old Blog: I'm still amazed that Forward Into The Past is yet popular and is still online, shows that you have taste ;). I also think that comp. is well done and a worthy successor was a real challenge. But here it is: again full with rare music from the early punk days mixed with new stuff, punkrock from all over the world. Once again my deepest thanks to all my blogger friends, supporters and those who provide me with songs and information, and of course those who leave their comments. And here I would like to ask the following question for you and tell me your opinion: How do you like this comp, what song and why exactly this song? Don't spare criticism, numerous comments would be nice. I'm excited to see what comes of you. With this post ends the week with temporarily various stuff and I think it was not a bad choice.

MFD - All Of This EP 1987

For those of you who don't know who M.F.D. is, they were a mid-tempo, melodic punk band from D.C. who were active in the mid-to-late-'80s, rubbing shoulders with the likes of greats such as Government Issue & Black Market Baby, really catchy tunes that had one foot in punk and one foot solidly in rock. This EP was their first release by DSI Records in 1987. Melodic and intelligent DC hardcore, but closer to the GI's sound than to the other Dischord bands; they're expanding and improving the sound of their first LP without experimenting too much. Tight, tuneful, and songs that will be remembered. Great stuff.

SERENE FALL - Rares & Demos 1994-2008

Since I find no sleep again so I gladden you now with a special cream pie for all my true followers (or not), dark punkrockers and all the other revelers in Europe. All the pieces here are 90% unpublished (in these versions) because there are rehearsal recordings, outtakes, demos or songs that can't be found on their website. Lovingly compiled by me and my special thanks go to Maul, singer (EA80 guitar) who sent me these rare cuts and make this compilation possible. After more than ten years ago their third CD is out and we can be grateful that Serene Fall go ahead because several reshuffles forced the band almost to the final resolution. But now they're back and the new album is quite brilliant and brings us with their melancholy mood through the winter and Maul's expressive voice gives every song a special touch, download is a must! And if you don't know the music here's my invitation.

ROSENGARTEN - Demo 1987

Here's a very fine tape which is very good and brings the gray season closer back again. Founded in Salzwedel, they exist from 1985 - 1990, Rosengarten was a band from the underground scene of the GDR. Nucleus was the timeless music & fun project Art Of Steel (with Carstensson and Hilke), by addition of Thönert, Füchsel and Fütterer they were complete and changed their band name in Rosengarten (borrowed by the Bauhaus song "Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores"). Differences in fall of 1986 led to the departure of Carstensson and Helge and Marion Semlow joined the band. Rosengarten record until 1989 three extremely complex and legendary "Tape Albums" and in the last year of their existence only drummer Thönert of the original line-up was in. At the turn of the time most of the members had been settled in Berlin and the band broke up, there was not a public resolution confirmed but then there was no more news about the band, silence remains. So musically the band's at home in a melancholic, darker sound with partially theatrical lyrics, here with some live recordings and the keyboards come cumbersome accompanying I think and the singer is nice desperate and angry. I must say their sound is really catchy and it's a pity that no label has invited the ladies and gentlemen to gave them a chance for an album, Assholes!! More Rosengarten on tapeattack. Well, if you love music from V.V.L., Wegschaun...Gold, EA80 or Ende November then try Rosengarten and listen carefully. It's worth!!!

WASTED YOUTH - Jealousy 7'' 1980

Damn good 7inch with two fine numbers, their 2nd one. Band info from wikipedia: "Wasted Youth were an East London post-punk band who became a small phenomenon across Europe playing their dark psychedelic bohemian rock. The band were active between 1979 and 1982, which blended early Goth and post-punk with dark acoustic strains of the sort associated with Nick Drake and Syd Barrett. The line-up of the band was Ken Scott (vox & guitar), Rocco Barker (guitar), Nick Nicole (synth), Darren Murphy (bass) and Andy Scott (drums). Their records were released through Bridgehouse Records, a label set up by the bass player's father in the pub he owned in Canning Town. Wasted Youth emerged from the remnants of mid 1970s heavy rock band "Warrior", fronted by Ken Scott. The band were largely influenced by Black Sabbath until the punk explosion at which point Scott split the group, due to its reluctance to embrace the new sound. There was brief collaboration with writer David W. Kirby (a.k.a. Dwk The Dogbreaths) who recited verse over the top of extended rhythm sections during live sets. Rocco Barker went on to form the band Flesh For Lulu and was in the Channel 4 show, A Place in Spain: Costa Chaos. Classic Rock (magazine) reported that the band's bassist, Darren Murphy, died of cancer on the 15th February 2012." - I added their first 7inch 'I'll Remember you' in this file, Get both!
