PANKRTI - Dolgcajt 1980

Debut album by this great band from Ljubljana which were formed in 1977. Pankrti (The Bastards) were known for provocative and politically engaged songs and billed themselves "The First Punk Band Behind The Iron Curtain" (Look at it this way) - They are one of the most important former Yugoslav Punk groups and one of the first punk rock bands ever formed in a communist country (really?). After five albums the band ceased to exist at the end of 1987. In 2007 the band get reunited. Get their 7inch Namesto Tebe too. Pankrti rocks modestly. So, its Saturday and its Soccer time.

THE MOB - Crying Again 7'' 1980

The Mob were an anarcho-punk band originally from Yeovil, Somerset, England during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band at this time was the trio of Mark (guitar, vocals, lyrics), Graham (drums), and Curtis (bass). They playing only to a European audience, never having made it to America. I think there's a lot of info about the band in the net, for example here on the great KFTH site where you can see their complete discography too. This single is their first record which was released on their own label All The Madmen Records. Two songs, gloomy dark music, unique sound. I love them, and if you're like you can download their album 'Let The Tribe Increase' with all their songs here. The group disbanded after playing their last show in November of '83 at the Doncaster Co-Op Hall.

ACTION PACT! - 7Inch Collection 1981-1984

Here's again something special for you. The first five 7inches by this classic UK punkers Action Pact! from Stanwell in Middlesex, formed in 1981 as the Bad Samaritans by guitarist Wild Planet, bassist Dr. Phibes, and drummer Joe Fungus. The John from Dead Mans Shadow (D.M.S.) was the band's original lead singer. He left the band to concentrate on D.M.S. He was replaced by George Cheex, who got the job because of "her courage to scream along with the band's songs." Action Pact! stands for a solide punk sound with fine melodies, plus female vox and they released all their records on FallOut, a cool label on which other well-known bands also published small round music parts. In Autumn 1985 the band split up. Enough useless words, start the music!

DEAD NITTELS - Anti New-Wave Liga EP 1983

Named after the murdered SPÖ Councillor Heinz Nittel, and following the Dead Kennedys provided the Dead Nittels - with former Pöbel bassist Lörkas in their ranks - in 1981 for supplies in the Vienna punk scene and together with Kleenex Aktiv (founded by two ex-Dirt Shit members) and Schund the foundation of the second Punk generation. Their sound was special: it sounded a lot harder and more metallic than many of their contemporaries, Moreover, their Viennese lyrics were terrible and full of vulgar attacks on the lower values of the Austrian Society. In 1983 they released on it's own their superb 4-track EP out in an edition of 300 pieces, which wore the sounding name "Anti New-Wave Liga - Des Is Wien Und Not London, Okay?". Ultimately, they were like no other bands on the development of the 80-punk scene in Austria and active until the late nineties and released two further albums.

V/A - Killed By Death #4 1989

Well, nothin' new in Blogland with this post but this is my vinyl rip and if you have this unoffical record without artwork then choose this file and see all the liner notes inside. So, this is the last of the first four KBD classics. There are others in the series that are good, great even, but these set the stage for what has become a genre into itself. Almost as good as Volume 2, this marks the end of the contribution from the originator of the series. Mostly excellent tracks, the inclusion of both songs from the stupidly rare Rotters 7" is a bonus. Same for the 4 out 5 tracks from the Zero Boys EP. First pressing (700 copies) on black vinyl with yellow and black labels. Subsequent pressings on green vinyl with white and green labels. Also available on CD. Don't hesitate, click right now!!!! 

1.Stoned To Death - ZERO BOYS

LA BROMA DE SSATÁN - s/t 12'' 1982

La Broma de SSatán is a punk band from Madrid, Spain. The group's name is written sometimes, perhaps erroneously, as "The Joke Of Satan" (with one 'S'), and abbreviated (at least in the back of their first album) as 'SS'. Their extensive musical career begins in 1980, coinciding with the outbreak of punk and the beginning of the Madrid scene. The band released via Victory Records this Mini-LP in the late 1982 and it contains 7 killer tracks. They offer pretty well-done punk of both the '77 and more contemporary varieties. The song titles, which include "Pogo On A Nazi" & "You're Gonna Die In El Salvador" indicate their thematic concerns. Indeed a classic of it's own. Get It!!

REGISTRATORS - Girl Girl Girl EP 1994

The Registrators formed in Japan in the late '80s, influenced by the leading punk rock bands of the time. Lead vocalist Hiroshi, alongside bassist Ren, guitarist Jun, and drummer Deira started by mainly playing covers of bands like the Damned, the Clash, or the Sex Pistols. During the following times, the band managed to record several singles, also appearing on Chloroform, a Japanese punk rock compilation in the mid of the '90s. This little three song pearl is fuckin' awesom, the band played a high-standard garage punk'N'roll and blow your head off, only 1000 copies were pressed usually, maybe 2000. Cool!

THE SUSSED - Don't Swim On The East Coast 7'' 1981

Excellent PowerPop/Punk record and their only release, meanwhile a classic and nowhere present on a compilation. The Sussed were a seminal Irish Punk/New Wave band based in Dublin, Ireland between 1979 & 1984. Members were Rory (vox), Paul (guitars), John (drums) and The Masked Bassman (bass). They shot to fame with the release of their debut single "Don't Swim On The East Coast" in 1981 (First pressing of 500 copies in red sleeve, 2nd pressing of 500 copies in yellow sleeve) which was about the English Nuclear plant Windscale that was leaking radioactive material into the Irish sea (Windscale later changed its name to Sellafield as Windscale had such a bad reputation). The single went to number 3 in the charts despite some radio stations not playing it because of its lyrics.

FUCK UPS - Al's My Pal EP 1994

More cool stuff comes now and I give the mic to the band itself: "The Fuck Ups are a band from Oslo, Norway that plays Punk Rock and Oi! and they have released a couple of EP's and I think one Mini-LP. They do not give you the perfect sound-experience, but: tight, dirty, fast sound and party! (None of them are exactly any good musicans...) At their gigs, they want the audience to have fun. Therefore the band often dresses up more or like fools and they are not afraid of making "fuck ups" at the stage! and that's the reason for their band name. They have also performed under the pseudonym "Jahn Rågers" (Oslo Pønk-Råkk Festival) and they're only just playing covers! (sometimes even Fuck Ups covers too)." So this EP had two own songs and two cover tunes, Watch Your Back & Borstal Breakout and you all know the originals.
