TRUST - Hardcore Girls EP 2006

WOW! can't remeber when I heard an all girl band that can play super horny hardcore music like this. Six songs in seven minutes. Holy shit, this blast me away and if you really like HC you agree with me. Trust is an all girl hardcore band from from Buenos Aires and was formed in may of 2004. They were all youngsters and always went to hardcore shows so they decided to form a band. Some of them used to play in other punk rock bands. Trust play old school hardcore style like 7 Seconds, Up Front or Youth Of Today. Their lyrics are related to personal stuff; straight edge, vegetarianism and the place girls should even make hardcore music and life. So that's enough words, I promise this record kills your brain in every way.

V2 - Speed Freak EP 1978

Damn good debut record by this Manchester combo on Bent Records with three awesome KBD smasher and because I'm a lousy writer I steal a little Info: "V2 were formed in late 1976 by David Wilks and Mark Standley. Both were regulars at Bowie/Roxy clubs in Manchester and became aware of punk rock when Dave Went to see the Sex Pistols in Manchester. This seminal gig at the Lesser Free Trade hall, at which the Pistols were supported by Manchester bands, Slaughter and the dogs, the Buzzcocks, inspired the next generation of bands to come out of Manchester, the Drones, Joy Division, the Fall, and V2. V2 brought their Glam Rock past to the band, and quickly became a popular live act with over the top shows, explosions, smashing up their equipment, and bassist Stan the Man attacking audiences with his cricket bat guitar when they spat at him once to often. Their first single, released on Bent records, (small bent one) was released in late '77, and quickly sold out 3 pressings. It featured three songs, Speedfreak Nothing to do and That's it. It went into the alternative top ten on each release." Read the full V2 bio. R.I.P. David! Compilations featuring the band: England Belongs To Me and the brand new Greater Manchester Punk - matchless!

SUBVERT - The Madness Must End! EP 1988

I have the German pressing of the original release by Hippycore Records. Subvert are formed 1986 in Seattle and they were shredding the Tacoma scene from 1986 - 1991, they're hardcore stirred with a little bit of metal that's kind of a mirror image of the Accüsed or Poison Idea, just more political and vocal about the government. The band had a handful of releases and this piece of plastic was recorded at the famous Reciprocal Studios. Five cool crunchy numbers which brings my stupid neighbors on the verge of a nervous breakdown, maybe yours too - it's up to you.

NAZIS AGAINST FASCISM - Sid Did It 7'' 1979

A record which is posted in other blogs but most links are dead and I listen now to this record and thought myself, post it again. It's worth!! And I'm lazy to write some info here so schwupp, here's info from punk77: "What a witty name! (not) Ben Brierley, who was in the Vibrators and The Front for a short time plays all the instruments, and Heathcote Williams provides what can only be described as 'interesting' lyrics on this artifact. Its okayish...a bit overlong... and a bit ...well stupid. Claims to have a different version on each side of the single but I've never worked it out. The lyrics are underneath...What were they on????!!!. Sid Did It/Sid Did It (Radio Version), 1979 Truth Records. One of several Sid songs that came out at the time including The Surgeons and Cash Pussies. Heathcote's poetry seems to feature a lot of sexual violence themes. To sample perhaps the best of his stuff set to music try the awesome 'Why D'ya Do It' on the album Broken English by Marianne Faithfull." Nice one!

V/A - Rejected Volume III 2002

I'm doing always heavy with newfangled punk rock and the most flies fast into the garbage but this compilation is a fine compilation of old and newer material from various UK and Irish bands that Rejected has put out over the years. I like more the dirty shredded sound and dislike the clean productions of the new breath and here I am positive surprised because all the songs kick fantastic and are very powerful at all, garnished with a few live goodies and unreleased recordings to that, and when I have this feeling by the first listen so I can't be wrong (mostly). Less than 25% are known to me (Oi Polloi, Leatherface, Jesse, Zero Tolerance) and I know if my friend from Austria share his stuff with me it can be only cool. As lousy reviewer everything is said. Pick up or drink milk.

DIRT SHIT - Rattenloch EP 1979

Dirt Shit stands in the first row of austrian punk bands. Born in 1978, with Robert "Räudig" of Chuzpe who left after one or two live shows, was this band maybe the most complete punk package that was (perhaps forever!?) available in the country of the lovely "Wiener Sängerknaben". At the peak of Dirt Shit, that was Roli "Rostig" Übereuter, Berni "Bedenklich" (questionable) Tragut, Michi "Monoton" and Ronnie "Urini" Iraschek, they could cause a pogo orgy whenever they charged the stage. The songs where fast, the guitars where dirty and the vocals where catchy and violent. Michi had never sung the same lyrics, and improvised at every show, which worked until he was done on stage. In 1979 they could have had an appearance in an austrian b-movie "Exit-Nur keine Panik" [Exit-Don't Panic]. But they where knocked out because of a quarrel with the producer(s), althought the songs for the movie where already recorded. After a threat to sue by the band, the movie team gave them money to cut the four songs on 7'' vinyl (limited to 500 pieces). They only played a few gigs in Vienna and one in 1980 in Linz. The members were also active in other early Austrian punk and new wave bands (Mordbuben AG, Kleenex Aktiv and others). Drugs and alcohol resulted in the end of this band.

THE NAMES - Too Cool To Dance EP 1980

Awesome powerpop 7inch by this three piece combo from Herne Bay in Kent, members: John (guitar + vox), Steve (bass + vox) and Russell (drums). They released this cool three song killer EP only in Germany on GeeBeeDee records. No other vinyl is known to exist except two tracks on the First Offenders compilation on Criminal Records. Why is this so?, I don't know because this little piece of vinyl is a damn catchy one, brisk mid-tempo powerpop mixed with a decent pinch of punk and the guitars cut out everything. I guess the labels have slept here extremely to take this band under contract and give them more options - Idiots!!! The power they had, and even after more than 30 years, the songs sound fresh and put some other band easy in the pocket. Pflichtdownload!

SCUM - 1984 EP

Formed in Munich (Pasenbach) 1980 and this is their first self-released EP with six classic punk songs of the first hour. Munich had next to Berlin, Hamburg & Frankfurt a very active and colorful scene. Such bands as ZSD, Marionetz, A+P, Crowds or Tollwut, to name a few, show that in this stuffy city the underground was active and there were at time many great gigs. This little record confirms that and Scum handle their instruments very well. Very nice old boys punk.

ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - Woman 7'' 1980

It's loud, it's obnoxious, it's obscene... It's the League! Formed 1979 after a disastrous party in Kent, the Anti-Nowhere League played their first gig as three piece at the 1980 Chaos Show at St Mark's Hall, Tunbridge Wells on 31 March, 1980. They released in their active years a lot of brilliant records and they are constant in the British punk scene. Their songs are catchy, sometimes downright funny and what I particularly appreciate is their provocative nature against society, the press or the British etiqutte which they engage in their brilliant lyrics again and again. That's Punk! - Side A comes with the tender ballad Woman while the flip has the hymn Rocker to offer. This is their third 7inch and was released by WXYZ Records.

PERVERTS - Ronka EP 1979 + Nevergreens EP 1980

Active from 1978-1980 were this Gothenburg combo called Perverts. They released two awesome 7 inches on Dolores Records. Some info I found from the cool SwedishPunk site: "Lasse Dolores (bass) is probably the most important person for the Gothenburg punkscene. He was the one who imported the first singles to his magazine store "Dolores". So one day he found himself in a punkband: Perverts. The name was taken after a politican who said that "punks are perverted". Legendary BBC-DJ John Peel played their single "Ronka" (with Wadling on the one tone solo) who has to be one the most, if not THE MOST, classic punksongs ever in Sweden. Freddie Wadling (guitar) had a major role in the Gothenburg music scene and played in several bands, for example Cortex, Rukorna, Blue for Two (electro music), Lädernunnan (The Leather Nun) and The Mobile Whorehouse. Christer Blomgren (voice) today plays in Troublemakers." They featured on various compilations. Excellent KBD stuff!!!!
