THE DALEKS - OK! EP 1980

Another superb record is this little fucker. The Daleks launched the label Exterminated Products in 1980 with their 3-track EP 'OK!'. The record stickers were accidentally printed without the copyright smallprint, so each copy was released with a folded A5 slip of paper with the correct label design plus lyrics and photos on the reverse. This appears to have been their only official release, and it's pretty good, if unmemorable. Rejected was used justly for the England Belongs To Me Vol.4 compilation (coming soon).

RAZZIA - Ausflug Mit Franziska 1986

Welcome May and you start with crappy weather and what the fuck? So I have to immediately unpack the best Razzia slab and spit in your face. - I guess, the second album was for many a surprise (me included). Was on the debut hard political punk rock recorded are here for the first time synthis used and textually the band become more personal and nested and I came up sometimes with the second listen what is meant in some songs and I recommend you a decent translator to understand all those ingenious wordsMusically, the band use all their instruments exactly where they belong and I appreciate the courage to take this step. I'm not a good reviewer but I promise this record is an excellent document of German subculture. I hope the concert will comin' soon. All thumps up!!

FOXY - Por Vida, Stay Foxy! 2001

So, the second semi-final of the DFB Cup will start shortly and yesterday my favourite team Eintracht managed to make it into the final and let's see who is on 27.05.17 in Berlin with us. But first another highlight which I have already posted on DU and I think it's worth to present this stuff again. This is the debut album by Foxy from Orange County, which includes thirteen songs that were produced by John Maurer (Social Distortion) and recorded 2001 at EMG Studios, North Hollywood/California. Beautiful melodies, inspired by the Ramones and Clash, and all songs are really rockin' and rollin' and they live entirely clear of the rough, but never screamin' voice of hot Lisa, uuhhhhhh..... - You can read a detailed review of the record on OC Weekly, and I leave you for today because I have to pay my bills and soccer rolls in. So suck down this brilliant album and enjoy!

KOLLAA KESTÄÄ - Kokonaan: Jäähyväiset Aseille 1995

Let's meet singalong punk from Tampere: Kollaa Kestää. Founded 1976 by Kai (vox+guitar), Juha (guitar), Erkki (bass) and Jyrki (drums). Mikko came for Erkki on bass after recording their single "Musti, Sotakoira" in 1978. In the band's hometown Tampere the record company Poko Rekords was founded and members of the band were good familiar with the owner Epe Heleniuksen. Kollaa recorded their first single on the Gulf of Microvox studio in the afternoon of 28.November 1977, on the same day Eppu Normaali recorded in the morning their debut single as well. The band recorded the b-side "Tähtien Rauha" in January of the following year. The single was released on March 30, 1978. The new lineup recorded their first EP called Kollaa Kostaa with six songs with Mika Sundqvist MSL-studio on August 24, 1978. Later more songs were recorded for the Hilse compilation and "Adverts Blues" made it and on the Poko Christmas album "Kylmää Joulua!" Kollaa delivered another classic with "Tonttuarmeija". On 19 March 1979 the band recorded the MSL-studio single "Kirjoituksia Kellarista", which appeared during the following month. That same year the band asked Johanna and the labels interest in the publication of the first length album was honest. The label agreed and the band decided to leave Poko. Their debut album Jäähyväiset Aseille was recorded at the peak Finnvox studio and released in yet to the 1979 season. The record became positive criticals and its title song became a small success. Jyrki Siukonen wanted to do something different from the punk-rock and left the band. Mikko Nevalainen from Eppu Normaali joined as bassist. Kai Stone and Juha Helminen were in favor of continuing and did a few gigs with drummer Eila but however, the band broke up the same year.

Kollaa and Jyrki made with Siukonen a gig in Helsinki @ the Old Student House and in summer 1982 the band come for a short reunion together. Kai died on 10 June 2007 at the age of 48 at home and Juha died in March 2013.

HELLHAMMER - Apocalyptic Raids 12'' 1984

All right, the weekend was very intense and after the incredible soccer match Saturday my best friend Larz and me have a session in my room and we talked about our metal days in the 80s and listen to some old trash goodies and he told, he had recently sold this unique record from Hellhammer for about € 50,- and I know the band but none of their songs and so I find a rip and post this bloody sucker here as a further metal post. Musically extreme black/death metal stuff with awesome guitars and I must confess: I still like that. The band released three albums and two EP's and split up three months after recording this record and later regrouped as Celtic Frost. Just try them.

ETER - Berns 7'' 1981

Another hot slab is this rare 7'' from a totally unknown band from Sweden. Here I have absolutely no information and the www gives nothing so forth quite a few words to their music. Shallow pace mixed with brilliant distorted guitars with a female voice, cool solos and both tracks sung in native swedish. I would rather say that the sound tends more to Pop Punk but both songs would not be wrong on a KBD sampler. With a running time of nearly eight minutes is a listening experience guaranteed. Nice record this little gem of swedish subculture - Worth every tone.

- Special Thx to Fredrik -

V/A - Rock Today 1980

I will be a bit softer with the next record which is probably not released (Metronome) and as promo platte cataloged but its still coming out I think. Well anyway, I have a copy here and on this record is a decent gathering of different styles and not all songs are quite cool but more than 50% I would say is acceptable, especially at the end the sound kicks, no wonder with this bands. The drugs show effect and I feel much better than yesterday, must be fit for the stadium tomorrow. All right, that was it for today, tomorrow is another, enjoy the weekend.

1.New Lines On Love - SNIFF'N' THE TEARS
2.So Good To Be Back Home Again - THE TOURISTS
3.The Eton Rifles - THE JAM
4.Hunted - THE PASSIONS
5.American Heartbeat - DUNCAN BROWNE
6.Dead The Beast, Dead The Poison - THE RADIATORS
7.Heavy Duty - JIMMY HIBBERT
8.Gabrielle - THE NIPS
9.Frustration - PURPLE HEARTS
10.Jumping Someone Else's Train - THE CURE
11.Smash It Up - THE DAMNED
12.You're Ready Now - SLAUGHTER & THE DOGS

NO NAME WHY - Sick Life Sucks EP 1997

Motopunk, legendary label here in Frankfurt, was known for their cool garage/hardcore/punk releases and they give mostly bands from Frankfurt (for example SUPERFAN, MONOCHORDS, etc...) and its suburbs of the Rhine-Main-area the chance to get a little bit more famous in Germany or Europe. With No Name Why was the second record released and the band from Oberursel immortalized four dirty Punk'n'Roll numbers in less than six minutes, you think great?? - Yes, fuckin' Great!!! So, now you can imagine from what Mucke I'm talking about. Great AssKickin' sound mixed with finest songwriting form together an explosive bomb which is amazing. And I remember that I spent one or two euros at a record fair for this EP so really a superb investment. Get yourself four.
