SEPTIC DEATH - Crossed Out Twice 2013

Another highlight of my collection is this superb following compilation of my favorite hardcore combo: Septic Death I don't know why I have them post earlier, it must be this double album that I recently bought on a small record fair for little money. The reason why I like them is their aggressive and hard sound, the drums are like a thunderstorm, screeching guitars, loud fat bass, and Pushead's exceptional, sick voice heats the whole right. Whenever I hear it I get positively. Since I bought the 'Attention' record which came out via Pusmort in the mid 80s Richy and I were immediately thrilled. I can remember they're also popular in the metal scene these days. Well, this unofficial release is a great Fanclub edition, fantastic fold out sleeve sleeve, includes lyrics, artwork, fliers and fotos. The double vinyl comes in two different vinyl colors. Handnumbered to 250 copies. Forty songs from the Need So Much Attention 12", Burial 7", Kichigai 7" and Theme From Ozobozo album and various comp tracks..... all within. Overall very lovingly decorated and a real Fan Edition. Have fun with it!

THE CHOSEN FEW - Really Gonna Punch You Out!!! 2001

Now an absolute highlight what I searched for a little while and now I'm of course very happy to listen to this awesome double album which was released via the Italian label Hate Records in an edition of 1000 copies. Thirty-Two Raw Bad-Ass Rock'N'Roll goodies are here for your ears and the description is no exaggeration. This record is a fuckin' blast! First full marks for knotless Artwork, gatefold sleeve and inside & on the back detailed liner notes from Ian Cunningham (bass + vox) and when I read that I'm really back in the late 70s and I can feel the vibes inside me which moving me to be a punker. This wild and rough music, the fat distorted guitars and the driving rhythms shoots in my blood such as heroin, pushes me so upwards I can not otherwise to despise damn radio music & MfuckinTV, all mutants. I tell you, whoever doesn't going on with this sound can lick my pretty ass, hahaha.... I will not bore with info about The Chosen Few, there's enough on the net, only that: On this are the tunes from their only 7Inch The Joke's On Us (A Few Production), a lot of rehearsals and finally eight live energy goodies from a gig in Auckland, all songs were recorded in 1978. And Yes, Ian: It's Shit Hot! This is really a superb re-release and I'm sure everyone who has it gives it not away.

THE UNWANTED - In Case Of Emergency Kick Ass 1983

Classic Hardcore tape from Canadian's Unwanted who shot out this demo tape in 1983 with thirteen rockets full of speed/punk/hardcore. A short bio from their MySpace site: "Original line-up formed back in the early 80's consisting of four fuck ups from Winnipeg who had a different take on where the punk scene was headed. The boys honed their craft over the years with many line up changes, and a lot of blood sweat and beer. The Unwanted did several tours, put out some vinyl, and established themselves as one of the highest energy combos to ever step on to a stage. Sadly in 1985 bad blood split the group." In 1984 their only record "Shattered Silence " was released by Better Youth Organization/Head Butt Records with eleven cool trashers. The Unwanted kicks really ass and this little sunshine is just the right music for a cooking session.

PILOTI - s/t LP 1981

Piloti (The Pilots) is a Serbian rock band from Belgrade. Formed in 1981 and initially immersed in the Yugoslav New Wave/Punk scene, the band later moved towards mainstream pop rock, they came to prominence in the 80's and early 90's as one of the leading pop rock acts in former Yugoslavia. Distinct representatives of the pop-sound, Piloti based their style on sentimentally coloured lyrics. After releasing six albums and one soundtrack the group disbanded in 1997. This is their brilliant debut album with ten fresh new wave songs with a touch of ska & two tone beats, very interesting and this record brings a good mood at breakfast and is by far the best album they ever made.

V/A - Aktiv PR 1981

Fantastic Swedish KBD style compilation with thirteen songs which was released by Pippaluckbolaget Records. Successful mix of punk and reggae can be found here, no failure, every song on its own kind brilliant. In between, some songs take the pace out but this does not harm listening pleasure, that's pure intention! Again I am amazed how many bands from Sweden ever conjured forth again. Fine piece of vinyl...

V/A - Class Of 81

"The Class Of 81 is a collection of the vast numbers of new and unrecorded bands around New Zealand, and Auckland in particular, at the end of 1980. The bands themselves were inspired by the anyone-can-do it attitude that the punk and post punk global revolution had encouraged. By the end of 1980 there were hundreds of young bands playing gigs all over the country, and, in particular, every garage on Auckland's North Shore seemed to be home to an aspiring bunch of pop stars. The album as such held together fairly well, partially because there was a definite generic New Zealand sound developing, a sound not a long way removed from what, a few years later, became known as the Flying Nun sound. There was an angular quirky feel, almost jangly, to much of this. But unlike the Nun sound, the Auckland bands had a slightly more dubby, a looser & funkier feel. The album, despite plans and a steady stream of requests over the years, has never made it to CD. Regardless of that, Class Of 81 has attained a rather legendary status now as an album that clearly defined its era in New Zealand, and in particular, Auckland, Rock & Roll." (Simon Grigg)

FUNERAL DRESS - I'm In Love With Oi! 1995

"Ahhh..!" what a hammer record, a friend lent it to me finally and I directly ripped it. Funeral Dress is a street punk band from Belgium who formed in 1985 and here are songs from this period, mixed with new stuff and some covers (Watch Your Back, Young Punx Go For It...). Alone "Getting Pissed" or "The World We Live In" are worth to praise this Album. In my personal Top-Twenty punk albums this Fucker is located near the top. ;>

NEGAZIONE - Venlo/Bauwagenplatz 27.04.1985

Negazione is a hardcore punk band based in Turin, Italy during the 80's and early 90's. Formed in 1983, they were one of the most important band for the hardcore punk scene in Italy at the time. They were one of the early bands of the Italian hardcore punk scene, like Raw Power, Wretched, Declino & Indigesti. Negazione broke up in 1992, their last show being at that year's Monsters of Rock (?) festival. They are still remembered as hardcore legends by many not just in Italy, but also world-wide. This Bootleg is a fuckin' killer, a MUST for every Hardcore fan. Seventeen fast and raw trashers in thirty minutes in an amazing quality. If you don't get this then you're definitely on the wrong blog!!!!

LOST KIDS - Bla Bla 1980

Now an album of my favorite ones. Bla Bla is the first longplayer by the Danish Lost Kids from Copenhagen. Founded by Jan Jet 1978 after a trip to Britain. Danish cover versions of first generation punk songs were frequent in the early repertoire, which were revitalized by Jan Jets fresh word-games. With Sods the most famous band from this small Scandinavian country. After two 7inches, Født Som Nul and Cola Freaks, the record was released via Medley Records and is with seventeen songs perfectly loaded. What I particularly like is this record has a great variety, female/male singing, short punk goodies, reggae and a little pop stuff and the singalong factor is enormously high. The use of many instruments is positive as well and garnished here and there with decent short guitar solos. This should persuade you. Also necessarily: Bloodstains Across Denmark. Give It To Me!

VULPESS - Me Gusta Seruna Zorra 2005

Female punk band made up of four women. Pioneers of the aggressiveness they showed in their songs and concerts, there were a hole in the Basque musical scene. Vulpess (latin name for fox, and this a slang name for whore if I understand right) was the first punk female band in the Basque Country (Spain), formed in 1982 by four girls between seventeen and twenty-one years old. The had their glory minute when they played in TV "Me Gusta Ser Una Zorra" (I like being a whore) in a TV program in 1983. They released one great single and they dissolved the same year. The music is actually more '77 punk/garage and catchy then most of the stuff on this site, but still aggresive enough to grab every punk's attention. Too bad they didn't make at least another record. In 2005 met promptly and returned to the studio to record this CD. In 2012 came out a live album called Barbarela '83 via Punk Away Records in an edition of 800 copies, rec. live in Palma, must be also great. Get It!
