NECRACEDIA - Now I See Clearly 1991

Well, I kinda tired to post more, feel empty and burned out but I need to do something else, otherwise I go completely insane. Lucky for you. In the short silent time new material came in and asap will this appear here in this cinema.

But today one more old post by a great punk band hailing from Pittsburgh. Necracedia were active from 1986 until 1992. Their debut EP Fight For Change was released 1990 in Viesly/France by Bad Card Records and you got four cool punk songs and a track at the end which isn't noted on the tracklist, but you will now how it named. In 1991 they released their only full length album on WreckAge Records and this is a Killer with twelve classic punk numbers, like their debut the band not lose their hardness and this album is powerful and aggressive and the snotty vocals are just awesome. Hell, I love this voice!! America have many cool punk bands but this 4 piece combo deserves your attention and I hope you'll find at least how great they are. 'I Wanna Leave This Sick Machine', classic mid-tempo punk and I see clearly now (!) and you'll do so well.

A long, very emotional day comes to an end and I'm pretty exhausted. Besides, I'm fucking tired and I close the post marathon today with one more selfmade compilation. I tried to pack 6½ years and my current feelings in thirty songs and it was not easy but I think the result is delicious and I'm very satisfied. At this point I would like to thank all those who continue to send me music, fine and rare postin' (Hello KBD!), all those who leave a comment or otherwise support me.

ZOUNDS - The Curse Of Zounds! 1982

The ultimate vacation holiday sound, emotional, aggressive & always with us, our # 1

We love the curse of Zounds. They were part of England’s late-’70s/early-’80s anarcho-punk scene; friends of Crass, they released their debut EP on the latter’s label. Though they released a number of EPs and singles, they only managed to put out one full-length album, The Curse Of Zounds, before disbanding in 1982 (they still active again). This collection includes everything the band ever recorded. There are plenty of tough, taut punk tunes here. An album that never gets boring after the first listen as I feel with some other albums and so the CD is once every week in my player, includes all scans which I get from Mr.WaggonCheers to you, my friend!!!


Stations Of The Past

INNOCENT VICARS - Funky Town 7'' 1980

Specially the b-side is the burner here, brilliant song with pointed lyrics.
I never thought that would mean so much now.

The music from this band is really one of my favourites and it's no wonder that I choose the flip 'Voices' for my selfmade compilation Forward Into The Past because it's one of these tunes I can hear again and again, all day long you know. So Richard Norris was part of the Vicars and he wrote some info about when and why:

"The Innocent Vicars formed in 1980, with an average age of 14. The St. Albans band met at school, bonding over a love of Bo Diddley, the Undertones and Buzzcocks. The line up chopped and changed for a while before settling on Richard Norris (vocals + rhythm guitar), Aaron Russell (lead guitar) brother of the Toys Mick Russell), and Nigel Benson (bass) who went into a Christian recording studio in Wheathampstead to cut 'She's Here'/'Antimatter'. A host of local talent guested on the record, including Nick Egan from the Tea Set on backing vocals, Cally from the Tea Set on drums, Mark Adams from the Bodies on Roland 101 synth (making the acid house noise on 'Antimatter' nearly a decade early) and Waldo's Phil Smee on production duties.

The single sold out of it's initial 500 pressing, thanks to support from John Peel and Radio 1's Round Table show, where it was spun straight after the Clash. The band played many school discos, local clubs, various church halls and youth clubs in St. Albans, Hatfield, Luton and Harpenden, as well as a number of spots at St Albans City Hall (supporting Kagagoogoo and Paul Young's band Q Tips). They also played at the Fleur De Lys pub, despite all being underage, at a girl's Boarding school and in St Albans Abbey (twice).

After a quick line up change (Mike 'Mac' McDonald replaced Nigel Benson on bass, Steve Watts took over on drums), the band recorded a second single, a cover of Lipps Inc's 'Funky Town' backed with 'Voices'. They also appeared on two compilation albums, with the tracks 'Starship 22' and 'She Was My Girl'.

Since their release thirty years ago, the original singles have been bootlegged a number of times in America and Japan and regularly sell for over £100 on ebay. BBC Radio's Steve Lamacq named 'She's Here' one of his all time favorite records, playing it on BBC 6 Music as recently as February 2011. Richard Norris, 'Mac' McDonald and Steve Watts have all had long careers in music. Aaron Russell and Nigel Benson are currently missing in action (any updates gratefully received)."

I hope you have come to taste and on compilations: Teenage Treats Vol. 1, Killed By Death #69, The Class Of '81 and Rupert Preaching At A Picnic, all classics I think.


UHF - Jorge Morreu EP 1979

Beautiful memories and moments with this sound.

1978, in Almada a band of four guys wanting to take revenge on the music. The group was formed by Américo Manuel (drums), Carlos Perez (bass guitar), Renato Gomes (guitar) and Antonio Manuel Ribeiro (vocals, guitar). The group's first concert was on November 20, 1978. This is the first release by our all time fave band UHF from Portugal and the EP 'Jorge Morreu' ('George Died') is about a death by Overdose. "The godfathers of Portuguese rock" played brilliant melodic power/punk/pop songs and they are big stars in their country. At that time UHF has traveled the entire country, and even do the first part of the concerts from the likes of Dr Feelgood and Elvis Costello and then they're in. I love them and if you think I'm crazy so listen to their songs and I'm sure you search this blog for more UHF stuff. A quite delicious sound and We both loved to listen them everytime. There is a second edition released (one year later I think) by this EP with different covers. Enjoy!

WIPERS - Live 1984

The ringtone I still have, darling!

TURBOSTAAT - Flamingo 2001

Today is my beloved Girlfriend's Birthday and the following posts are dedicated to her. They include bands she liked to hear and we always had on vacation with us. Darling, I Miss You So Much And Without You Everything Is Much Harder....

Start with Turbostaat. Brilliant band from Husum/Flensburg and I saw them first 1999 in Hamburg at the Rote Flora. At that time they were relatively unknown, but they have already shown they have what it takes and now they become one of the best German punk bands. Powerful punk-music peppered with emotional and thoughtful lyrics. On stage, the guys give everything and it's always a pleasure to be involt. Next EA80 the band we have most viewed together. Also the deal with Warner had not changed the bands view. If you have not listening to Turbostaat then you must pick this up quick.

V/A - Happy On Your Side 1992

Last for today and I leave you with this nice garage/low-fi punk compilation by the German label Orgasm Records. The home of Der Durstige Mann and other rowdys. On it a very good cross section of rare demos, outtakes and remixes. I remember that this album was requested by someone, but cannot remember his name. Well anyway, the desire is hereby fulfilled. Musically is everything top here, real punkrock would I say how anyone can play it. Heavily distorted, partly cellar sound and many tracks released here for the first time. So Happy On Your Side is a nice title and the créme de la créme of the inflamed genre to do the honors.
