L'ODI SOCIAL - Que Pagui Pujol EP 1986

L'Odi Social is a hardcore punk band from Barcelona (Catalonia/Spain), founded at the end of 1981 with the name of Social Odi by Jordi "Gos" (vocals), Fernando Poza "Damned" (guitars), Josep Urpí "Poly" (bass) and Saina (drums) and they remained active until 1992 and are considered one of the founding groups of the hardcore punk scene in Barcelona, along with groups like Ultimo Resorte, Shit SA, Anti/Dogmatikss, GRB or Subterranean Kids. Inside this scene, they are reminded , among other reasons, for being one of the first groups that used the Catalan language in their lyrics and titles. During their existence, they published an EP with five songs, Que Pagui Pujol (1986, later reedited, with extra tracks, such as LP and CD), one album (Esventats/1990) and participated on various compilations, including the Nicaragua Rock cassette 10-5-86, where their performance at that festival was collected. And now enjoy your breakfast with five excellent hardcore goodies.

GUNS 'N' WANKERS - G 'N 'W 1994

First glass of beer today and we join it with Guns 'N' Wankers, punkers formed by ex-members of Snuff and rockers of the Wildhearts in the early 1990s. The band consisted of Duncan Redmonds (vocals/guitar), Patrice Walters (drums/vocals) and Joolz Dean (bass guitar/vocals) and after touring up and down the United Kingdom with the likes of Leatherface, NOFX and Wat Tyler, the band set about recording demos. This album, I think the debut, contains ten melodic heart attacks (I sometimes hear a bit of metal influence) on Rugger Bugger Discs and it pumps the shit right from the start with a great punch out of the amplifiers & assemble the notes to a harmonious sunrise on the edge of the Pacific, a real breakwater.. incredible.. you will not be disappointed (I think more songs were not recorded). Point your cursor at GNW for more band info.

PETER & THE TEST TUBE BABIES - The Mating Sounds Of South American Frogs 1983

Finally, a classic and fantastic album. Their second record on Trapper Records by Peter & The Test Tube Babies, a Punk Rock band formed in the small town of Peacehaven in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre. For me the best album of the Babies. I remember how many times we listen drunk and dance through nights in our shared apartment without going to fucking work nexy morning... those were heavenly times.... and today?? Fuck it, weekend is there and the party goes on. The Babies are still present and every year, traditionally at Christmas time, in my city. Current line-up: Peter (vocals), Derek (guitars), Trapper (bass) and Ogs (drums) and the band are planning more and even bigger things. For example to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2018, the band will soon present their own TEST TUBE BABIES festival. Peter & The Test Tube Babies remain indestructible... and that's good!

NICHTS - Made In Eile 1981

Underrated band from Düsseldorf who had a real hit with 'Radio' and were wrongly packed in the NDW drawer in my opinion and after two successful and one less album, the band split in 1983. Tobias learned drumming in 1978 as a founding member of KFC. When in January 1981 the first record Letzte Hoffnung was out it came to a conflict with Tommi Stumpff. Both left and founded Nichts with Andrea (vocals) and Chris (bass) and they recorded a demo which unleashed positive reactions so the independent label Schallmauer Records released their first record Made In Eile. The song radio was particularly noticeable due to its earwig quality, so that Chris played it to the Bananas director Rolf Spinrads. This was enthusiastic and invited the band to record a video for the broadcast of 8 September 1981. Since it was clear that radio had the potential to a hit, the band and Schallmauer Records decided to decouple the song in time for the show with the major label CBS Records as a single. The Bananas broadcast made Nichts known nationwide and after seven months, 70.000 copies had already been sold, although due to poor distribution, the plate was difficult to obtain. Nichts went on a tour in Germany and returned to the studio to record their second album Tango 2000, they had offers from five major labels, which were played against each other, the contract finally won WEA Records in Hamburg, Schallmauer was involved as a production company in the contract.

In February 1982 the four went on a four-week tour of Germany, which had been booked by a professional concert agency (Blindfish) and the gigs were completely sold out. In Hamburg, before the club Uncle Pö with 800 left at the door remaining visitors to a police operation, so that larger halls had to be searched and the agency attached a mini tour through Austria and Switzerland. More gigs followed, now already in larger halls, these were partly sold out, as in Hamburg (Markthalle) several times. The 7'' Tango 2000 was decoupled, a tango-disco-parody with a concise, unmistakable tremolo guitar and this became the band's biggest hit. In summer 1982 it finally came to a break, band leader Michael left the band to start a solo career: "We actually had no big problem with each other. I was just driven to our chosen direction, and I wanted to do something different."

Andrea and Tobias decided to continue the band with two new members: Stephen, former guitarist of the Bochum band Bertha And Friends and Peter on bass. In the usual rapid pace a new album Aus dem Jenseits were recorde and released in January 1983. The band managed to recapture the Nichts sound despite the absence of Clauss' incisive guitar playing with the new members, but the album failed to match the band's great successes. A booked three-week tour of Germany had to be canceled due to an injury Brinks. The band broke up afterwards. What remains: catchy songs that still sound fresh and charming and remember, ten beers are sometimes too much.

CAMERA SILENS - Realité 1985

Now a french Oi! from Bordeaux called Camera Silens and they were active 1981-1988. They were founded summer 1981 by Gilles and Benoît and the group chooses a strong name. Camera Silens is a reference to isolation cells used for the incarceration of members of the Red Army Fraction and they won a contest in 1982 and two years later this debut album was released by themselves. A 7Inch and a second record followed 1987 and one year later the band broke up. Ten decent streetpunk numbers on this debut which can compete with non-European bands of that time. On many compilations, one the great Oi! The French Connection Vol.1 record and I'm finished with words, time to sleep.

NASTY BOYS - Eagle EP 1981

Back from a gig in Frankfurt and puhhh.... it was so hot and I stood for an hour. So, now a combo from Alingsås with a very rough Swedish punkartefact! 200 copies were made and the band split up before it was released. Later two members started Really Fast Records and the Nasty Boys contribute two songs on the first Really Fast compilation. This is their one and only vinyl with four numbers, the title track is an awesome typical '77 punk style KBD smasher, the second & third are two monotone moderate tunes while the last comes as a half reggae piece. Overall a pretty nice record, superrare typical pioneer Swedish punk sound.

COSMIC PSYCHOS - Slave To The Crave 1989

A long day at the fucking computer is coming to an end and I crown it with one of my favorite bands: the Cosmic Psychos and this twelve track CD was recorded @ the Palace/Melbourne in June 1989, released via Rattlesnake Records and who doesn't know this album: Grab it!! One of the best live albums all the time: a milestone/masterpiece/a orgasm and a damn whole effusion. The sound & the song selection plus the cover artwork are absolutely brilliant. The clean recording of the songs makes them so fresh & intensive that I can't sit still. Lead Me Astray, Can't Come In, Decadence, Rip & Dig, Back In Town + Lost Cause (to name a few) are KILLER and belong to the best punk songs I ever heard and who can sit still on his damn chair is dead. This release is a revelation. I wonder why I post this classic not earlier? Hmm... anyway, do you wanna dance and need some more music then you must, I repeat MUST!, click this orange fucking stud and get more fast, loud, delicious Aussie landmines; not more, not less!!! And now: Go on stage you three male top models and you enjoy the gig!

NOT FOR SALE - A Few Dollars More EP 1984

Well, Madrid has won the CL again with lots of support by Karius who caught a raven-black day, too bad, but I think not quite undeserved. Musically we start today with Not For Sale, a three piece from Houston/Texas (Mike/bass & vocals, Howard/guitar & vocals and Scott/drums) and is sort of a garage pop outfit with punky sentiments. They have political lyrics and a certain aggressiveness, but the clean guitar sound and bouncy songs lessen their overall impact. There's three songs included & the EP by Rabid Cat Records is fucking great and is played very competently. In 1986 they released their only album called NFS and maybe one of you sends me that, I would like to hear. On compilations little represented, except on the Cottage Cheese From The Lips Of Death from 1983.
