EBBA GRÖN - Live EP 1978

Well here I have a short but cool bootleg from swedens punk veterans Ebba Grön. Four rough songs all in all in an acceptable sound quality and I wish I could hear more of that certainly famous gig. Zero information on the cover or labels, except that the recordings were taken on Jun 21, 1978 in Långholmsparken in Stockholm. I bought this little fucker for € 5, and again a good deal. So enjoy these awesome rare stuff and play it loud!

DIE WICHSER - s/t 7'' 1981

Zu früher Morgenstunde jetzt ein absolut rares Ding dieser Herren aus Sonstwo die mit ihrer einzigen Single zwei erstklassige Stücke aufnahmen. Zur Band kann ich gar nix sagen und musikalisch gibt's rumpeligen Deutschpunk wie ich ihn mag. Kontaktarm handelt über das mangelnde Selbstvertrauen Frauen anzusprechen während Deutschland unser liebes System fröhnt. Tja, selbst die KBD Macher haben diese kleine Perle im großen Fundus des Punk noch nicht entdeckt. Die Wichser machen Spaß und mit dreieinhalb Minuten viel zu kurz. Mitnehmen!

SUPERVAMP - Ballroom Blitz 7'' 1988

Ballroom Blitz is a song written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and originally recorded by the British rock band Sweet (better known as The Sweet) and a lot of bands covered this sucker. Supervamp were formed 1988 in Vienna and they released their groovy version as single on JMS Records. They were originally a girl band, over the years came to three male musicians, their sound goes from rock over funk and there music was present in the Austrian radio. They toured through Austria, Germany and Russia. More is not known and I think this single is their only release. The b-side is an instrumental version. They disbanded in December 1992.

WANNSKRÆKK - Riff (1980-85) 1992

Punk band from Trondheim, founded in 1979. The band had a precursor in Chloroform and was founded by Per Christian "Persia" Iveland (bass) and Kjartan Kristiansen (guitar). These two put together the group, and got out to Per-Øyvind "Prepple" Houmb (vox) after having tried a different vocalist, Kare "Gisse» Olsen played drums, and Kaare Summer was at first as second guitarist aboard. Wannskrækk had their first gig at Angelltrøa Fritidsklubb in 1979 and in 1981 they recorded their legendary debut EP 'Faen Kuler Treffer Aldri Riktig' followed by the s/t 12'' one year later, two absolute punk blasts which gained a cult following. After years of touring and the very positive reviews in the press over the country the band, however, came to a provisional end. Then in 1988 they released a split album with Liliedugg which contains live songs and the sound goes more into rock style. The Norwegian punk and alternative label Oh No! Records released in 1992 this compilation which contains their first both releases plus a few live tracks.

And here it is: great '77 punk lullabies and you will love it!

V/A - Killed By Death #22 1998

Nothing new but now a post from my former blog. Always satisfied when I listen to a compilation when every song hits the fan and with the KBD series I do nothing wrong. This damn sucker takes possession of the world, from the United States to Japan and the quality is top notch! 500 copies are pressed on black vinyl with white & black labels. A shame it's so hard to find. Everything is fairly brilliant and the makers did again a very great job. More KBD stuff comin' soon so come back and get yourself a fuckin' beer!

V/A - Swiss Wave The Album 1980

All right folks, it's time for a compilation this month and let's move to the Swiss area and enjoy one of the first releases from Off Course Records and this is a decent mix of punk and powerpop. There exist many re-releases and you can read a lot of infos on the discogs page, which label, year, etc..... most of the songs appear on the bands album or 7Inches but these are the original recordings what makes this platte very rare, a good overview about the Swiss underground scene at that time. The label is one of my favourite Swiss one with lots of rare records nowadays. Volume 2 came three years later out on Astan Records, don't know this, someone?

ROSTOK VAMPIRES - Boring Old Fart EP 1990

Before I leave home a short visit in North Rhine-Westphalia and meet the Rostock Vampires, based in Dortmund already exist since the midst of the eighties. After several line-up-changes they started the new way at New Year's Day 1988 in West-Berlin. This second EP was released via Nuclear Blast Records and shines with three metallic punk rock tunes. This great band is relative unknown for many people and it is really a pity because their sound deserve more attention in my opinion. Check them out and I recommend their first album Transylvanian Disease, it's a real stunner.

BIKINI KILL - I Like Fucking 7'' 1995

Riot Grrrl from the States: Bikini Kill, Hell Yeah! - I like their dirty punish sound!! Great Combo which released a few awesome albums and all are great. Here's a little appetizer and after listen you want more. Go and buy their records if you have the chance. Two killer tunes here. No doubt, both songs kick ass, that's it! A little info: The band formed in Olympia/Washington in October 1990, by Kathleen Hanna (vocals), Billy Karren (guitar), Kathi Wilcox (bass), and Tobi Vail (drums). They began working together on a fanzine called Bikini Kill and, with the addition of label founder Go Team guitarist Billy Karren, formed a band of the same name and they began to write songs. After an independent demo cassette called "Revolution Girl Style Now!", Bikini Kill released their s/t EP on the indie label Kill Rock Stars. The band's debut album 'Pussy Whipped' was released in 1993 and the band toured through Europe. In 1994 Riot Grrrl was receiving constant attention in the media, and Bikini Kill were increasingly referred to as pioneers of the movement. Hanna called for a "media blackout" amongst Riot Grrrls, as they felt the band and the movement were being misrepresented by the media. The band's final album was Reject All American (1996). After breaking up in 1997, a collection of singles were released only on vinyl between 1995 to 1996, called The Singles.

UHF - Ares E Bares De Fronteira 12'' 1983

Of course, Portugal is now following and since I don't know many punk bands from the Atlantic state so once again something by my favorite band from Almada. UHF already since 1979 active and very famous in their country, not surprising with their beautiful melodic Power Pop Rock, in their early days with fine punk goodies but increasingly with more ballads which always inspire me. Simply music for beautiful moments together (maybe you have these). This mini-album with five jewels was released via Rádio Triunfo and was made to play loud, I wish you all a sunny sunday and exciting new encounters.

ESCALATORS - Ascenseur 7'' 1980

Today's the final match in Paris so I thought a post a little nice Powerpop goodie from the Escalators with their only record on CBS Records. About the band nothing's found but the two tracks are excellent, one typical mid-tempo number on the a-side while the flip starts with a fine subtle reggae groove and goes with tempo out. A dynamic small piece of plastic that kills my damn hangover.
