MISSBRUKARNA & PANIK - Split EP 1980

One of the first Swedish Hardcore bands are now legends Missbrukarna (The Abusers) from Hudiksvall. Here togehter with Panik from Bollnäs. This record is better known as Livet Är Mjölk EP and was released on Forsaljud Records. Finest early 80s Hardcore/Punk and Missbrukarna with four awesome killer tracks, all songs very intense and catchy. Sure they have to featured on the first Really Fast compilation with three cuts. A few gigs were played and in 1988 the band finally broke up. In 2012 the Swedish label Skrammel Records released a compilation LP called "Zooma In En Zombie" with all Missbrukarna tracks, rehersals in Forsa '81 & the Forsa Studio Live '87 and more, this is not a bad choice. Panik released only this two numbers and they're at home in a rough '77 punk style and both tunes are pretty with snotty guitars and unfortunately disappeared from the scene. Anyway, both bands understood what is punkrock all about and do this in a excellent way.

SATAN 81 - Radioattivita 7'' 1981

About this combo from Italy I haven't much to tell. Satan 81 have only this 7Inch released via City Record and they have recorded two decent mid-tempo numbers and that's it. The a-side was used for the great Killed By Death D'Italia compilation. Very catchy distorted rhythm guitar with nice solos and pretty typical for the early 80's sound of the boot which short time later turned into terrific hardcore, really a pity that many good bands only made it to one fuckin' single, potential was undoubtedly present but I guess there was a lack of good labels and of course money. And today, thirty-five years later, we hunt and seek the treasures of the past. Strange, but that's the way it is!

V/A - Rock'N'Rennes 1981

All right, all requests for down files are fixed and re-upped and I'm sure you noticed that here was a little bit of silence last days. Well, spring failed and summer is burning and I prefer to go outside and enjoy a beer down by the river. So, now a nice compilation with bands from Rennes, released on Epic and this is a fine example of the early 80s french rock/new wave scene with unreleased tracks from some very elusive bands and 90% of the bands here disapearred soon after the release (at this point thx to Robert for these words)! I've been thinking a long time to post this slab because not everything is my taste and sometimes really lame but I think there are some among you who like this sound and for you is this.. I'm flexible and curious on your reactions.

RIOT SQUAD - Theres No Solution 7'' 1984

Riot Squad were a punk rock band from Mansfield, England and formed 1981 with an initial line-up of Duncan "Dunk" Mason (vocals), Nigel "Nello" Nelson (guitar), and Paul "Pommi" Palmer (drums), Nelson the only one of the three with any musical experienceinitially active till 1984. This 7'' was released in early 1984 but musical differences within the band would cause them to split that year. Their music is quite aggressive with politically lyrics. All of Riot Squad's recordings became highly collectable among Oi! and punk collectors in the ensuing years. A CD collection, appropriately titled Complete Punk Collection, was issued in the '90s by Anagram Records. Two timeless Punk Oysters which would not interfere any tape sampler. Have a great weekend everyone!

THE DARK - The Living End 1982

Second and last output by The Dark, a quartet from Islington, on Fallout Records and this captures the band playing their last ever gig (June 1982). Allow me a short info from PunkyGibbon: Formed in late 1978, it took them a year or so to hit their stride. Their first lineup - John Flannagan (vocals), Billy O'Neil (guitar), Phil Langham (bass) and Jim Kane (drums) - lasted long enough to play just two gigs and record a demo. At this point Andy Riff (ex-Rotting Klits and The Suspects) joined on rhythm guitar and O'Neil played lead. The Rotting Klits had played a total of eight gigs (including several with Menace) and The Suspects had played four. After a few 7Inches they recorded the outlandishly Chemical Warfare album which is my opinion a Top UK punk record and everybody should have heard that and also the Captain Oi! compilation The Best Of The Dark ('95) with all their recordings, awesome.

V/A - Dr.Strange 1996 Catalog

And last but not least a freebee from Doctor Strange label, @ home in sunny california and founded 1988 as a record distro/mailorder and they bring you a very good selection of rare & current hardcore punk in your house. This outrageously cool CD was add to an order, as far as I can remember (you don' get such every day) and that's a perfect example of the 90s US punk sound I think; melodic, fast and top produced. I'm @ home in the late 70's, early 80's but there's also stuff from this time which kick my ass, not always but hereof I'm excited. By the way, it would be nice to get something from the Wanted List, you fucker!

THE CELIBATE RIFLES - s/t LP 1984

Sydney is calling and on the phone are The Celibate Rifles with their second album on Megadisc. Nine fantastic catchy and powerful songs and Australian rock historian Ian McFarlane described it as "still rough-hewn but with more variation, style and power than the debut". David Fricke of Rolling Stone felt it displayed "urban teen frenzy with lyricist Lovelock's adult fears erupting in a glowing atomic fireball of bazooka guitars and terminal volume". I can only underline that! Should you want more after listening to this slab, don't miss Quintessentially Yours, a compilation of early stuff. The band is still active and recently a limited album Roman Beach Party was released on Area Pirata. May rules!

- Great Thx to Fredrik -

THE BUSINESS - Suburban Rebels 1983

Welcome May and we say Hello! with a classic, the spledid debut album by The Business on Secret Records (original called Loud, Proud and Punk but the master tapes for the album went missing after disagreements between the band's label and the studio, forcing them to re-record the album, which was released as Suburban Rebels in May 1983). Formed 1979 in Lewisham by school friends Steven ('Steve') Kent (guitar), Michael Fitzsimons ('Micky Fitz') (vocals), Nicholas ('Nick') Cunningham (drums) and Martin Smith (bass) and I think they were one of the first bands which characterize the "Oi!" sound vehemently and consistently. By 2008, eleven albums were released, numerous singles and many compilation tracks. The Business are still popular I think and their music is first cream in my opinion.

V/A - Bandsalat 1982

Last compilation for today and this Berlin cracker was brought to us by Good Noise and the recordings arosed in the years 1979-1982 partly in the historical cult site in Moabit and partly in the new "Sonnenstudio" at Checkpoint and we enjoy a nice mix of new wave, reggae and morsel punk goodies and all this was recorded beside the recording engineers of course by the friendly 8 respectively 16-track machines. At first I thought the songs were taken from demos or other tapes but that's not the case, half of them are exclusive and only on this record, so let's catch the rare 80's sound from Berlin.

I've just been in Finland with a rip and what lies closer to post another classic compilation by the famous Hardcore label Propaganda (licensed by Rock-O-Rama) and we meet the Créme de la Créme of the fast dirty and catchy representatives from the beautiful north of Europe. One killer chases the next and twenty-three tornadoes shred everything in just under forty minutes that gets in their way. Use the search function top left for more albums by some bands and enjoy the fantastic musical heart attacks with a refreshing beer just as I do it right now!
