TOXIC REASONS - God Bless America EP 1984

Toxic Reasons were a prolific band that went through many changes in both personel and musical direction over the years. The core group consisted of Bruce Stuckley (lead guitar/vocals), Bertram "Tufty" Clough (bass/vocals), Jimmy "JJ" Pearson (drums/vocals), and Rob Lucjak (guitar/vocals). None of the latter three were present when Stuckley started the band in Dayton, Ohio 1979. At that point he was playing bass, Joel Agne was on guitar, Mike Patteson played drums, and Ed Pittman was the lead singer. This line-up only stuck around long enough to record a two-song single, 1980's War Hero 7". After a second 7" recorded with East Bay Ray, Toxic Reasons began work on their first full-length album Independence (more info in the file) - This is the third 7Inch on their own label T-Reason with three thrillers; furthermore on numerous compilations, for example: We Don't Need Nuclear Force & The Power Of Love and sometime in 1995 the band broke up.

ELEMENT OF CRIME - Weißes Papier 1993

Let's open the early Sunday with melancholic chanson-, pop and rockmusic by Berlin's Element Of Crime, founded 1985 and the bandname is borrowed from the title of the movie The Element Of Crime by Lars von Trier. They first sang in English but that was rather moderate and with the sixth album they switched to German which is a lot better for the band and expresses the wonderful words of Sven more clearly. Weißes Papier is the seventh album and I bought it when I was with my pearl from Hamburg and we heard it a lot, nice times were that, and somehow this morning I'm in the mood for calm, tender melodies. Anyway, the band gained lots of attention with this record and I acquired another slab that is equally charming. Dive in and have a good breakfast with it.

LITTLE BOB STORY - Seaside Bar Song 7'' 1978

Let's meet a long-living band from a rain-battered grey hole called Le Havre who've been playing Rock'n'Roll since 1974: Little Bob Story testify with numerous publications their creativity and the French underground music is characterized with their driving melodic playful sound and I chose this 7Inch because both songs are a perfect example of this. A few own Bob words: "Bob's got the secret magic ingredient which makes all the difference in the heart of their fans: the innocence, the fervor & the ingenuity. Bob pulls it off, never blinks, never winks, they discards the "Camp," easy way-out, gambles on the power of bare emotion and comes out as winner. Their look and tremondous voice make them unique to the audience." Well, let yourself be carried away by Bob and enjoy the first warm sunbeams.

NECROS - I.Q.32 EP 1981 + Conquest For Death 1983

It follows a special offer from Schrottmix and today im sortiment: Take 2 Pay 1!! And yes folks I present you the very rare EP by Bruno MatschwirNo which he recorded four months after he lost the fight versus KimiKeinHaarAmSacki in the fifth round at the 00 lounge championships in Achselhausen, he could't oppose Kimi's double tongueturner and Bruno was so frustrated and sad. Driven by these feelings the idea grew inside him to tell all his sorrows to the world via music, the language everyone understands and I.Q. 32 was born and pressed by Touch & Go in an edition of 100. Kimi became envious about Bruno's little success so he thought to himself: You Necros, I make an album that rips the world off the chairs and earn lots of money! Said & done. He went to Maumee, Ohio and found some decent musicians and in just five days the album was recorded and Touch & Go again (an American independent record label based in Chicago) released Conquest For Death (so Kimi's album title) in 1983. Also his record was well received and shortly thereafter he was shit dead by an Armada flamingos and Bruno emigrated to Koksheim. Well, two hermits who are much sought by collectors.

RADIO BIRDMAN - Radios Appear 1977

It seems to me that you don't really like my winter pics, haha ... I understand, enough for me as well. A record now which is in my opinion a blast and celebrates its 41th birthday this year: the debut by Radio Birdman, one of the first Australian independent bands to carry the punk label, along with the Saints. They were formed by Deniz Tek and Rob Younger in Sydney in 1974. Radios Appear is the first full-length studio album by Australian punk rock band Radio Birdman. The album was recorded at Birdman's Trafalgar Studios, Sydney during 1976 and 1977. Trafalgar initially distributed the album via mail order and by sales from the backs of friend's and band members' station wagons. This laid the groundwork for future DIY punk bands in Australia. Radios Appear was hailed by many as a breakthrough album in Australian rock and a decisive change from the uneventful early mid-seventies scene. The album's title was taken from the song "Dominance and Submission" by Blue Öyster Cult, one of the band's most important early influences. More info inside, more music on the way.

SURF PUNKS - My Beach 1980

Last one today and actually I wanted to post 'Locals Only' but I can't find it anymore so I'll take the second album by the Surf Punks, a PopPunk band from Malibu. I must confess the Surf Punks are a bit to poppy for me, sure they have punk riffs and it's without doubt a good record but to be honest, they blow me not out of my socks. I don't know but I came not in, it pass me by like a leaky faucet or a stale beer, you know. And by the second hearin' I still find nothing special on it. Maybe this is not my kind of music, too lame and to commercial. Well, I'm sure a few maniacs of you search for this album and now happy that it's available here. Tonight a concert with Klotzs and Panikraum in Excess and I know it will be a long funny evening.

V/A - Rockslaget 3LP 1982

Now a real mammoth release with different styles of music that were pressed on three slabs. Rockslaget is a pointed title for a compilation and what's inside promises much. Released on Sound Of Scandinavia/Rockslaget shows this album a fine overview of rather unknown bands which received an appropriate platform with samplers like this and show their skills to the world, within peppered with famous bands, in this case, Unter Den Linden, Mercy and Overdrive (two successful heavy metal bands which released a few records in the 80s). For me always interesting because often hides some pearls on such records. Here is this Svea Svin, Nyx Negativ and Svea Slakthus and the last track from the Rude Boys. Overall an excellent album with massive music, so pick the ones out which are for you interesting.

TENPOLE TUDOR - Real Fun 7'' 1980

"We Wanna Have Some Real Fun.......Today" and I have it at this early morning hour. Weekends in and I hope we pick three points tomorrow versus Mainz. Until then I amuse myself with good music and the fucking work at the office later passes also. This 7inch was released on Korova Records and I think it's the first release by Tenpole Tudor. The band were formed 1974 when Tudor-Pole (vocals/saxophone) met guitarist Bob Kingston, bassist Dick Crippen and drummer Gary Long. They played regularly for several years until Tudor-Pole himself (under the moniker of Eddie Tenpole) came to prominence by appearing in the Sex Pistols film The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle. He was originally billed as a replacement for Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten - performing the songs "Who Killed Bambi?", "The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle" and a cover version of "Rock Around The Clock" for the film and subsequent soundtrack - however, manager Malcolm McLaren and the remaining Sex Pistols instead decided to abandon the group and go their own ways. Later the band signed to Stiff Records and they were one the strangest and silliest groups on Stiff Records, a label that was known for its oddball clients. Led by Eddie Tudor (born Edward Tudorpole), a former actor who could barely carry a tune, the group played a mixture of punk, roots rock, pop, and British dancehall music, developing a thoroughly entertaining and ridiculous style. They released two albums on Stiff Records which sold well and in 1982, the band broke up. Today, Tudor-Pole concentrates partly on acting, but focuses mainly upon his new one-man-show, performing live shows described as a 'One Man Stadium Show'. He has re-formed Tenpole Tudor from time to time, notably in 2001, with Darrell Bath on guitar, Donagh O'Leary on bass and Ben Standage on drums. 2009 Angel Air Records released a compilation CD with all their classics. Fine record and now let's have some fun today!
