QUIZZ KIDS - Fruitcake EP 1980

Puuhhh, I'm again a bit washed-out and I don't know where all the booze will end. Anyway, now I sit here and refresh myself a little. Yet a quick post from a very unknown band from Stockholm with their only release. Rising SOTS put out this three song EP in 1980 and apart from the title track which is a bit lame is this rare record a solid release. Tomorrow is a cool KBD punk track and Suicide is a nice unplugged emo tune, not bad. They can be found live here on the Musikverket EP. So AlohaHe, enjoy this coldy day and start some historical.

RAMRODS - Schickeria, Schweine & Bonzen EP 1980

Ultra obscure (they never played live and members weren't part of the local scene anymore by the time their records saw the light of day) Hannover-based punk quartet which arose out of the ashes of unrecorded legendary P38 with their first single released on Tilt Records. Recorded & mixed in MusicLab Berlin, April/June 1980. Four solid german punk tunes which pumps every KBD heart faster.

TT GARDEROB 100 - Mitt Liv 7'' 1979

A real awesome record is the only 7inch by this short-lived from Gothenburg: Göran Lindahl (vox), Anders Puke (guitar & vox), Hasse Morgan (bass & vox), Tomas "Flash" Forsberg (guitar & vox) and Staffan Lindahl (drums). Two classic kbd smasher here and certainly one of the best Swedish Punk record of the late 70s. I can listen to 10 times in a row and the plate does not lose meters of soil. Really catchy and well played, TOP!!! There's a nice story about the band name in Peter's Encyclopedia Of Swedish Punk and I can't recommend enough to buy this book. The band finlly broke up in 1980, Anders played for a while with Troublemakers. The title track was used for the superb GBG Punk 77-80 compilation on Nonstop Records in 1986.

V/A - Oi! The French Connection Vol.1 1997

I leave the stage today with this fine record which was pressed on marble vinyl from Boucherie Disc. The créme de la créme of french Oi!/Punk is here present and kickin' the street sound in your blood. All songs are taken from various records which had the bands released in the 80's and meantime hard to find. Quite good song selection with massive hits. One deficit: there is no information about the bands inside and I think for a small supplement should be the cash sufficient. Scheiß was drauf, das Wetter ist scheiße, nachher Umzug helfen mit lecker Essen, der Sonntag kann weitergehen. Coole Platte.

V/A - Korn LIVE!!! Ab Geht Er 1982

Here's a famous live compilation and I'm glad I found this short info on discogs which I like to use here: "This is the first Korn sampler with only bands from Hannover/Germany and all recordings were taken live from the festival on the 21st of November 1981 in the UJZ Kornstraße ("unabhängiges Jugendzentrum", which means "independent youth center") with the exception of Kaltwetterfront. Kaltwetterfront made a recording available, which they did 3 month before in Austria from a cassette recorder. All songs were recorded from the Tonkoop-Hannover, which has their origin in the UJZ Kornstraße as well." The sound quality is consistently okay, each band give everything and I think this record is a brilliant cross-section that shows Hannover had some good bands. Pure Punk!!!

V/A - At The Fuhrers Request 1985

Originally released in 1985 on Rubber Records comes this great Aussie punk/post-punk compilation. The title of this was changed to "At The Solicitor's Request" due to legal advice and stickers were pasted over the word 'Fuhrers' saying 'Solicitor's'. It's amazing what power can have one word and stupid it is that some people become annoyed. In fact disturbing. Anyway, the LP offers an interesting band/song choices and has for everyone a present in their luggage. Nowadays a rarity and the prices obtained by collectors to € 100, - or more.

V/A - Not Great For Great Men 1988

Sometimes it's cool when I buy a record and I can't get any info or reviews at all. So this experience I made with this magnificent slab. A fantastic compilation of largely unknown bands and every single song is a killer!! The known-bands here I know are the Bates from Eschwege, who later released a few records and with their many cover versions they were very successful and Funeral Oration from Holland. The rest of it are absolutely unknown to me and there's no information on the back cover or an insert and the label Weckewerk has probably not live a long time. I call that real underground in a brilliant D.I.Y. style. And I can warmly recommend you this stuff very well and I remember this was my first vinyl rip. Essential!!!

V/A - Klart För Laddning! 1980

The not well punkist LP on Wdthtc I have now for you and some of you out there will wondering what this compilation is doin' here. I would describe the sound here as lame pop, prog rock or Swedish folk and the best track on it is the KSMB song which is a reggae punk tune and I mean they sing here in Italian (wait, I listen a 2nd time...yes it's Italian), awesome really, mention is also the Chamber Music Track from Nya Ljudbolaget which is not bad anyway and I really like it because sometimes I need the old heroes ala Beethoven, Grieg or Mozart. The rest sucks pretty as hell, haha.... and I know this record have not much playing time here. Check out for yourselfs and tell me how the Plate is for you.

V/A - Underground Rockers 2 1989

One of the best covers I think is made here on this compilation and I quote the liner-notes on the back cover which I can only agree: "Another bunch of UNDERGROUND ROCKERS bands who, outside of the fanzine network and for a few, the John Peel show, are totally ignored. The first "Underground Rockers" compilation saw The Instigators sing "Full Circle", a phrase that seems very suitable when you think about influences. A growing number of British bands are being influenced by the American "Hardcore" groups, whose sound has evolved from listening to the likes of The Ruts and Stiff Little Fingers. On this LP you'll find both bands who lean towards the U.S. Hardcore sound and others who favour the early sound of the British Punk bands. But who ever they listen to they refrain from straight copying, each strives for their own sound and style, with just a nod in the right direction of their musical preferences. As with the first volume, it's not important whether you'd give these bands the "Punk" or "Hardcore" tag, judge 'them on their songs, be they fast or slow and on their energy, excitement and power. They deserve to be heard. Many of these bands are finding that they're better received over in Europe. Countless tales of big crowds at gigs, friendly, appreciative people and good treatment all round. It's time we, in this country, stopped being so snobbish and started treating bands, be they British, American, European or whatever, with the respect they so rightly deserve." (Tony Suspect)

V/A - Killed By Death #3 1989

Oopss, I opened up the second beer now and holy shit it tastes good again, especially early in the morning, life's a fuckin' bitch (rülps). So now welcome to the wonderful world of punk rock dear followers. Yet another mindboggling of rare '70/'80s obnoxicusness is now to be prevailing on your turntable, sending the sound of righteousnoss out of the speakers and into your heart. And an all star cast is it. A decent follow-up to the amazing #2. A classic in far too many ways to even take a stab at here. Some great tracks and the rest worthwhile, except the John Berenzy track which is unnecessary. First pressing (700 copies) on black vinyl with yellow and black labels. Reissue is on blue vinyl and has the same songs as the original. Fuck!, this is an further awesome release which shows how great the early punk scene worldwide was. All scans include, more words...not really.
