THE OUT - Who Is Innocent? 7'' 1979

So, X-Mas is over and forward into routine. YES!!, this is everytime a sunny moment & all the shit here's quickly present. UUAARRGGHHHHH!!!! "Leber Geht Weiter!!!" and here's a fine piece of vinyl which was released on Rabid Records and it's the first record by English combo The Out. Side A is a refreshing PowerPop song with a nice keyboard intro and then turned into a melodic shiny guitar sound, support with driving drums, a number one song I would say, the flip is also cool, more punk background here. So in the end, a fantastic record and if anyone has their second (Better The Devil 7'') for me this would be nice. Aloha and out!!

EA80 - Dezember EP 1989

Last post for today and its good those damn fuckin' days are gone. This is the very best punk Christmas record I know so far. Why? Well, EA80 is in fact the best german punk band in the world and all the four songs here are AWESOME!!! And they present these in english so that everyone hillbilly understands what the band thinks of fuckin' Christmas. This EP was only sold in the last three weeks before Christmas in three consecutive years (1989-1991). Today a coveted collector's item. I think, I bought my copy in the beginning of the 90s, but I'm not sure, anyway. There is not much to report because every release from EA80 is brilliant and for those who heard this band name for the first time: Caution! They Infectious!!! - And now, dear people I'm leaving you and wish you all a rest nice damn Christmas and come all across well.

This nice X-Mas compilation was released by the Spanish label DRO, mainly with releases of Spanish new wave groups, from pop to punk or industrial. (today, the DRO label is owned by Warner Music Spain, S.A.) The song selection on this LP goes exat in this direction. Each in its own way pretty charming and the versatility of this LP makes this interesting. I love this album and I'm sure you too. Highlights are Aviador Dro, TNT and Siniestro Total. Beautiful record, great rare Spanish synth/punk, a must have!!

DOG DETACHMENT - Machines 7'' 1982

A band which I never heard before is Dog Detachment and they were a new wave/punkrock band formed by the Armstrong brothers in Johannesburg in 1980, first playing under the name "Dog". They played a subversively independent, high pressure brand of rock that they themselves referred to as "Stormtrooper Pop". Their first album, "The Last Laugh" was completed in 1983 and it's a fuckin' blast. They unleashed the title track upon an unsuspecting media, and blew the public away. They released three albums and singles and this here is their 2nd release with two awesome tracks. In 2001 RetroFresh released a Compilation CD called 'Best Kept Secrets' an overview from their three albums with rare tracks added. The best of a band that did not believe in compromise. Very interesting band that you would like to hear more.

VONN - Bubble-Gum EP 1983

What a splendid storm last night and I slept like a stone, and I'm still tired. I'm glad when this day is over, need a fuckin' break. Next record is a three song smasher from this youngsters which were founded in Montpellier, in the sunny south of France. Released on Mr Vinyl records the boys offer a healthy '77 mid-tempo punk sound, neither more nor less. No more info further and who needs such superfluous details. Excellent EP and their only one. Now I would prefer myself to lie in bed again but the fuckin' everyday life screams for me. Well then, adieu!

OLSEN BANDE - Christmas EP 1993

One more fuckin' X-Mas post this year and soon again begins the routine called everyday. Gone are the quiet days and the madness in form of noise, people, cars, stress, etc.. begins again. Alle Jahre Wieder!!! - The Olsen Bande (featuring members of the legendary Boskops) from Hanover released three EP's during their existencen and send Christmas greetings with 3 aggressive snotty punk numbers. Song 1 was re-recorded and provided here with German texts (there's an English version available but i don't know where), the two others in English and treat the vexing issue with neighbors and the shitty society values. And after "Not My Life" comes a short fascinating Christmas poem, read by a young lady. This whole record is published by Nasty Vinyl and was only pressed 500 times.

WELLBLECH UNTERGRUND - Woher Wohin 7'' 1983

Wellblech Untergrund were founded in 1981 as a four piece band in the Linz area. While they initially played Party Punk with many cover versions, they quickly found their own style with lots of melody, polyphonic songs and uncomplicated lyrics moulted thus secures its place at the Linzer punk headquarter Kapu. After their debut single in 1983, they contributed two numbers to the Sparkassen sampler called '2. Linzer Rock Nacht', which "Heut Nacht" is one of their strongest songs. Topic is a Saturday night in the town: going out, meet friends and get girls. The lyrics read like a confession of youth punk culture in every village and a very charming post donates to a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon Punk in Austria. Wellblech Untergrund developed in the following years to a rudimentary psychedelic avant-rock band and performed in the mid 80s as opening act for Einstürzende Neubauten and The Jazz Butcher in Vienna. From start to finish they played in the same occupation and broke up in 1988. "The departure from the scene was not much fanfare. The band broke up, because the air was simply out", recalled Wellblech singer Tomislav Zuljecic in the late nineties, in a letter to Alexander Magrutsch. Too bad, I think, because the two songs here have everything what a good punk record should.

OHL - Jenseits Von Gut & Böse 1986

Formed January 1980 in Leverkusen by singer under the stage name "German W" (W stands for "resistance"). Four years after the start of the punk wave in the U.K. was OHL one of the first German punk bands. OHL, an acronym for Supreme Army Command were one of the pioneers of German punk. The band is due to their political texts and iconography throughout their military record covers as controversial. After a self-distributed cassette Herbert Egoldt paid attention to the band and produced two EPs and their first LP "Heimatfront" on his label Rock-O-Rama. The band was, like most punk bands, fierce, uncompromising and provocative. Lyrically polemic against both the radical left and the radical right, mixed with a wild and hard sound are OHL a perfect example of German hardcore punk. "Jenseits Von Gut & Böse" is a no hard hitting political punk album like the previous ones but its still the most mature work of this period. May you be surprised but I promise you this is real OHL and this pretty record should be in every record collection.
