THE LANDLORDS - Songs From The Backyarddesert 2007

From the cosmopolitan city of Oberhausen come these three gentlemen and I discovered this band when my beloved girl and I visit a concert with my friends of Van Hellsing in Aachen on February 2009. It was fuckin' cold that time but the small city excursion with a stop in the cathedral from Karl dem Großen (Charlemagne) was amazing and a tasty food afterwards was fantastic. Then the gig was quite unique and I became quickly hot. Their music I would describe as dark garage Punk'n'Roll and live they burn the whole fuckin' stage, reminds a bit of the brilliant Billy & The Willies, and everyone swings their dancin' shoes. These guys are very polite, funny & likable. Aachen remains an unforgettable trip with a cracking evening we had with you, Muchas Gracias! A second album is already in the works or already released but I never seen it. Visit them on their MySpace page and if you had the chance to see them live you should go there. B.t.w., under the name V.V.L. the boys made very good gloomy GermanPunk sound. ENJOY!!

PARÁLISIS PERMANENTE - Grabaciones Completas 81-83

Back to Spain and direct to Madrid where Parálisis Permanente at home. The band was originally formed by Eduardo (guitars) and Nacho (bass), along with their siblings Javier (vocals) and Johnny (drums) around 1981. This formation recorded an EP, later included in their 1995 compilation Singles y Primeras Grabaciones. After Javier left the band, Eduardo became the lead singer and their sound became darker. In their short time they released one album plus three 7inches, all on three Cipreses. Represented on numerous compilations, which can be found even here. Eduardo died in a car accident in May, 1983 returning from a gig, and the band split up. So enjoy this great sound and have a nice weekend.

THERAPY? - Nowhere EP 1994

With this song Therapy? get my attention and it was released as a 7'' from the very good album Troublegum, the only record I have and other stuff I don't know. This Mini-CD has four goodies which two are first-class cover versions of old classics. Decent mid-tempo sound and I feel a bit moving to nowhere. Basically it is a positive song, a kind of self-discovery. Anyway, I'm not a psychiatrist who words reinterprets, this short excursion is pleasant and I recommend to ride.

VOÏVOD - Rrröööaaarrr 1986

One more from my Metal records and this time we cross the atlantic and make a stop in Jonquière/Quebec, Canada and meet Voïvod. I remember Richy when he came in with the debut album 'War And Pain' and this sound was somehow different from Venom, Slayer or Possessed (our faves that time). Chaotic song structure away from the typical construction of verse/chorus/solo/tschüß, no this four create a new style and so I have still two albums here. Also noteworthy are the cover designs which all paint by drummer Away, mostly with futuristic machines, the new age regards. Many albums were recorded and I had enough with the fourth and turned then more into punk. Well, I have intense memories with Voïvod, saw them live with Whiplash and Sodom in Mainz and all that remains unforgotten. - Recently I read that guitarist Piggy died on 26.August 2005 on some fucking cancer...shit game. One more reason to enjoy this roaring highlight.

V/A - Ten From The Madhouse 1981

I discovered this compilation as I was looking for something from The Insane on discogs and there are two videos and both songs attracted immediately. So I leave a comment for searchin' this one. So as you can see it has worked. Released on No Peer Records this record has ten goodies with consistently unknown bands on it which have a non punkish sound (except Hoax & Insane), rather melancholic and 'calm' and very pleasant in-between in our fast living time. I enjoy this very well. Relaxed come down music on a gloomy Sunday like this. I hope that sounds bring you relax and beautify your day and listen to another one from Typhus to get more input.

V/A - Killed By Death #9 1995

"All American Punk, No Foreign Junk" on Volume #9 and here we found more obscurities and even more rare punkrock from the good old days and what shall I write more about this awesome compilation? One great song hunts another and all tracks are Killers!! 2000 pressed on black vinyl with orange and red labels. Due to a "printing problem," about 200 copies have tan labels with red ink. The repress (of 1000) has a blue and black cover (as opposed to the white and black cover of the first pressing). All Killed By Death or Bloodstains compilations and bands have pushed open the door for a new wave of weirdos, because these types of releases will flourish the CD age. KBD would never go boring and I will never stop listening to it.

V/A - Keihard En Swingend! 1978

‘Keihard & Swingend’ (Rock-hard & Swinging) is a live registration of Dutch punk and new wave bands in 1978. Recorded live 12/13 and 14 February 1978 at Paradiso/Amsterdam and the result is astonishing. The a-side is more punkrock stuff with bands you might know while the b-side belongs to the new wave bands. The sound is quite good for a thirty years old recording and the feeling seamlessly spills over. On the back cover are some liner notes and if somenone would translate then I would use the info here in this short description (my dutch is extreme rusty). This compilation was released on EMI-Bovema Holland, maybe one of the best release by that so-called major label. Great document from the early dutch underground scene.

P.F. COMMANDO - Manipulerade Mongon 1979

P.F. Commando was a punk band from Gävle/Sweden and was created by Sonny Jansson and Janne Ricknell. They were one of the first swedish punkbands that recorded an album. First record came in 1978 with the first single Svenne Pop on Comm Records. The group's first gig was at a marathon gala. Manipulerade Mongon is their debut album and came out 1979 and is a fuckin' cool amazing punk record. Their lyrics where snappish gracious and they got massive critic about it and divided the listeners as well, due to the "lack of competence" in that field. They got a contract with Pang Records but the cooperation was a total failure. The label wanted to give them already written lyrics (songs like 'Slavelady In Rubber Clothes' and 'To Come In Eva's Butt') and also a suggestion for an album cover where they wanted the bandmembers to pee on each other and play around with Dog poo. So the band quit quickly. P.F. Commando also inspired swedish artist DiLeva to play music. In 1982 the group split up.

CRUMBSUCKERS - Life Of Dreams 1986

Nothing new but always a good choice. The Crumbsuckers was a 80's hardcore band that formed 1982 in Long Island by bass player Gary Meskil in their home town of Baldwin. They were one of the first to mix the two genres, hardcore ethos and heavy metal pathos, on their debut album Life Of Dreams. For me it is a absolute killer record. Songs like 'Bullshit Society', 'Shits Creek', 'Live To Work' or 'Mr.Hyde' are timeless classics that always current. The band speak out what I feel inside and I can listen to this album twice a fuckin' day. Yesterday I'll do this after a long time again and so it's reason enough to post it here. Worth mentioning the fantastic cover of Sean Taggert which is pretty cool. If you want more let's visit Dan's Blog and pick up the full blast, it's worth - believe me.

L.S.K. - Momente 12'' 2000

This 12'' is the last release and I think their best one. LSK means bombshelter and they sound once again rough and strong with somber thoughtful lyrics, each slab a unique masterpiece in my opinion. Too bad this band no longer exists but they carry on as Die Angst. Influences by EA80 from Mönchengladbach is inaudible and they do it very fine, No cheap copy!!! They celebrate heavy driving gloomy punk nuggets and do that superb. Founded in the mid 90's near Berlin L.S.K. released their first Longplayer in 1997 which is a pretty gloomy sort album with excellent songs and its a mandatory album for everyone who likes EA80, Serene Fall, Fliehende Stürme, etc.. - Buy their debut if you doubt. Also live the band was mercilessly blown me away and a subsequent table football game was crazy fun, sympathetic guys. As a small bonus I added a live cut from that evening in Mannheim which was in 2000. Brilliant stuff.
