SHOTGUN SOLUTION - Shotgun EP 1983

Nice little 7Inch by this band from Rome with four wild & angry shotguns, released via High Rise and this record is all they made on vinyl. Singer Valter is in my opinion a 'softer' type of Raw Power's Mauro but don't worry, hier wird ordentlich aufgedreht. Shotgun Solution opened for the Dead Kennedys in their show in Rome in 1982 and were Valter (vox), Stefano (guitar), Alberto (drums) and Pierpaolo (bass). RaveUp Records released in 2016 a repro (350 copies) called "1983" with one unreleased track. That's it, I'm tired again and in four hours the night's over.

BAD NEWS - 333 x Up & Down EP 1995

One more record from the legendary 333 x Up & Down series, 333 copies and today hard to get. So Bad News is very unknown and probably their only release and I think they're from Wesel. It's amazing how many such pretty pearls like this dug out again of dusty cellars and step into the light of the whole wide punk world and become a real true gem. This little four track piece is indeed a Killer and has a knotless '77 punk rock sound, catchy, dirty, short, aggressive and if a record starts with "Kiss My Ass" you know in which way it goes. All songs sung in English and you only know what's best for you. Too bad I have so little info about this band and I would be interested to see if there are any more releases. Well, I only advise you to grab this awesome groupie quickly, play it loud and enjoy their music. TIP!

THE YOUNG LORDS - Young Lords EP 1980

Out in the town of Halden right on the Norwegian/Swedish border in the late seventies, the band was named The Ice Cream Band (name inspired by a Jonathan Richman song) successfully opened up for hero Elvis Costello in Oslo in 1978, before drop this name for The Young Lords. By the time the band came around to releasing their debut album (Same Shit - New Wrapping) in 1980. Henning's songs and the band's musical qualities put them way ahead of the Norwegian punk/new wave music scene at the time. The Young Lords actually sold records and toured. By 1981 the road hardened quartet had expanded to a quintet, changed their name to Saturday Cowboys, left their record company for Norway's first independent , New Noise (partially owned by Henning) and recorded the album We Like To Watch with Norwegian renegade punks Casino Steel and Geir Waade as producers. Steel and Waade had just arrived back in Norway after spending formative years as card carrying members of the London punk explosion. Between them they had played with London SS (early Clash), The Hollywood Brats, The Boys and Wreckless Eric's band (source: The ModPopPunk Archives). Four songs = great record!!

THE PARANOIDS - Stupid Guy 7'' 1979

Further with some power/pop/punk which fits wonderfully on this sunny day. These guys are from the U.K. and this single (btw cool cover) is released by Strand, an indie offshoot from major teldec I guess. This is a promo copy with label sheets on the back cover. I give you the chance to decide which continent plays the better, europe or america. Also two gems that are worth hearing (and I'm a stupid guy as well). They released two more 7Inches and then the fun was over.

12°5 - J'ai Envie 7'' 1980

Yesterday sunny, today sunny and tomorrow too and later Bundesliga. Time for sunny music with this excellent French group with female voice here with a promo single on Ballon Noir, the two cuts were taken from their debut record, simply called 12°5. Two years later they released their second album "Entre-Temps" on CBS Records and they changed their style and become uninteresting. 12°5 is not really a punk band, they had a decent PowerPop sound and the a-side has a pretty "disco" funky atmosphere, schwippi-schwappi-doing-doing. The flip has cool wavy guitars and like a tsunami, the song increases, gets faster and ends in 75 BPM. If you like it and you want more I can possibly reloading their first album. Interesting band in each case.

SUPERSTOLK 2000 - Was Kostet Die Welt? EP 1997

So, einen für heute hab' ich noch und es ist mir eine besondere Ehre. It's time to honor a band that deserves my deepest respect. A brilliant, funny live band & with always a surprise in their baggage. From the beautiful city of Offenbach came these two gentlemen and with this EP they have set high standards in the international underground music world. Their delicious mix of HC/Electro/Wave/Punk/Beat/Pop/Rock made them famous in the Hesse area and their records are sold out after a few weeks. So even this blue piece of plastic came out in 1997 via the small punky label Knorz Records. And the guys did everything by themselves. Here you can read a detailed review, in German, by tvuzk and more infos about Superstolk 2000 and his other music projects. A cordial greeting to tvuzk and JR - I love you guys!!! By the way, 'Kleiner Schlumpf' is exclusive and only on this record. Get it quick!

Early in the morning, sleep is over and I come to this rare nugget, released by Blue Cedar and it's the debut record by Aero Sole Band with two decent numbers, very melodic with nice guitar playin' and French voice, really charming. I post their second 7Inch Never long time ago with more infos so it's worth to have a look. Monsieur Rasoir is a solid small piece of vinyl (and who is Mr.R?).

MO-DETTES - White Mice 7'' 1979

The Mo-Dettes (alternatively The Modettes) were an all-female punk band, formed in 1979. This first self-released 7'' contains their most well-known song "White Mice" and was recorded in the mid 1979 on Mode Records, with "Masochistic Opposite" on the b-side. The single was distributed by Rough Trade and spent five weeks at No.1 in the indie charts. And although the assumption is that they were a mod band, this is incorrect: some called them punk, others thought they were more pop-punk, while still others compared their music to that of early Raincoats or Slits. Well, for me these two cuts are simply pop-punk songs and I can always listen to them. Whip your feet, shake your body and listen to White Mice while during the download. The all-girl band disbanded in 1982 after just one album.

THE STAGGERS / SKEPTIC ELEPTIC - Split 12'' 2005

Today I'm comin' up with a split record and the follow up is an extreme rare copy (hand numbered to 500 copies) which was released Broken Heart Records. Let's start side a with the Incredible Staggers (formerly The Staggers) and they are an Austrian 60's-garage-trash-surf-rock & roll band from Graz. The band say about themselves: "The 2002 launched 60s garage punk and rock & roll band "The Staggers" from Graz/Vienna has both musically and visually quite prescribed the late 50s and early 60s, the sis freaks in tailor-made yarn and Chelsea boots are mainly related to one hit wonders various 'Back From The Grave' compilations or legends like Screamin Lord Sutch, but they are not free from surf influences. Alright you Nerds and Finks prepare for an onslaught of primitive beats, chainsaw guitars and the eerie farfisa sound. It's raw! It's frantic! It's horrifying! It's the Staggers!!!" And the band keeps its promises: you expect five terrific rock'n'roll surf numbers of the finest. The b-side is just as nice. Skeptic Eleptic from St. Pölten, founded in winter of 1999 by bassist Mots T. Sux, Thoms'n'Roll (drums), Tom Mohawk (guitars) and singer Sickboy Eleptic. The band describe their music simply as punk rock and they found in the early stages yet increasingly influences of hardcore and street punk, so in the meantime their music has developed into a mixture of punk/garage/surf/psychedelic/ trash/pop and rock'N'roll. The band insists that it will not be forced into a certain genre corner. In 2009 the band broke up. Both bands have numerous records out and if you like a decent rock'N'roll surf punk sound then get this ten blasts and Go Go Go!
