V/A - Rock'N'Roll Rouergue 1978

Obscure compilation with French bands and none of them ever released anything else. I don't know where I got this rip from, but in the course of much new stuff I got from this country recently, I noticed this slab and so I bring a really interesting mix of catchy songs back to light. Not really a punk record but worth mentioning and definitely not bad. So enjoy the last Easter day with this superb Live recording @ the Cultural entertainment center of Capdenac/South France with:

1.Intro - GRANIT

2.Bord De Vole - EMILE ROCK DES CHAMPS

3.Poésie - LES DISPENSÉS DE GYM

4.M. Durand - MAURICE AMBIANCE

5.La Vie De Cachot - ANATHÈME

6.C'est Pour Toi - ATTENTAT

7.Objection - SALMACIS

8.Bells Swinging - GRANIT

9.C'est Pas Possible - LES DISPENSÉS DE GYM

BLOODY MARY - Chaos Im Wohnzimmer EP 1998

One more highlight from Mr. Reinhard, my special Austria connection, and he brings us another brillinat record closer. The Vienna riot grrrl band: Bloody Mary, founded in 1994 and disbanded so about 2003. They played many gigs and were an integral and important part of the Austrian punk scene around the EKH (Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus, the occupied Anarchist center in Vienna) and there were also their rehearsal room. I think, this is their only release and Bloody Hell, it's awesome. Tracks like "Sick Of You", "Money Sucks" or "Impotentes Bullenschwein" cut directly into society's face and are absolutely to my taste. Seven bitches from hell on it, great playin', short songs, clean production, nice girls, rare record, fast download, sunny weather, cool band name, no failures, Easter....so enough reasons to fuck with this band and say hello!!!

- Great Thx to Reinhard -

THE PAIN - My Head Is Burnin' 7'' 2015

I hope your Easter holidays are going well and I'll sit in the beautiful Wetterau and delight you with another rarity from Slyngel Rekords, # 011 is dedicated to The Pain, a gang of four consisting of Spiv (vocals), the Ant (guitars), Hocky (bass) & Stefan (drums). Little info from discogs: The Pain was the toughest, coolest and the most rowdy of the early swedish bands within the punk movement. The band, which came from Nacka, was born when Staffan and Håkan Uppgren came to a punk gala in France during their train trip, late summer '76. The band didn't get started until about six months later when they got a rehearsal place. Even though the band never played outside of Stockholm, they soon became famous throughout Sweden. After an EP and a single and three different guitarists the band imploded in fall of 1979 into a black hole filled with leather, studs, hydrogen peroxide and Beyaz wine. Hocky went on to play with the groups Chatterbox and La Crosse aswell as in Stabbers (together with Stejmo). Staffan started B-films and Janne Andersson continued to play with Ulf Lundell and also with his band JAPOP. Janne Oldaeus continued with the bands Rost & The Mosquitos aswell as a backing musician in Jerry Williams band. 300 copies were pressed, white vinyl and both songs are outtakes from the same session of their debut EP 'Feel The Pain' 1979 in Stockholm. So far so good, enjoy the sun and another Schätzchen afterwards.

INFEKTION - Dimman EP 1981

Sole release by Infektion from Gothenburg and the band consisted of Krister (vocals/bass), Bengt (guitar), Mikael (drums/synth) and we listen to three different numbers. Dimman is an unspectacular rock song with a shallow tempo and suitable with a cup of coffee early in the morning. Hasch is an excellent reggae tune that is probably about enjoying THC, also recommended early morning and last but not least, 1 2 3 4... is a thirteen seconds smasher. A very catchy slab, exactly my taste.... and cool cover b.t.w. - This marks the beginning of the long Easter weekend, and I hope you do something nice, despite corona shit!

- Great Thx to Fredrik -

Théâtre were Philippe (vocals & Bass), Marcel & Tonio (guitars), Eric (keys), Jean-Noël (sax), Stéphane (drums), formed around 1977-78, like many groups, the meeting of three high school students of fifteen years, in Honfleur, and they were passionate about rock with guitars who will kick together in Punk and Coldwave. They made one 7Inch in 1983 'Ambiance Bar' on FLVM and this album contains material which was recorded 1982 and 1984, more info in the file. Twelve solid wavies which rolls you back to life.

U.K.SUBS - Gross-Out USA 1984

Already the fourth live album of the UK Subs and this one was recorded @ Mc Greevys in Chicago whilst on tour in America during the spring of 1984, released via Fallout Records in two different sleeves; the more common pink on green colour scheme and a more rare green on pink. Line-up on this evening were: Charlie Harper (vocals), Captain Scarlet (guitars), Tezz Roberts (bass), Pete Davies (drums) and they throw seventeen classics among the American punx in an acceptable sound quality. A Subs slab is always a guarantee for a fantastic atmosphere, a good mood and always worth listening to, and the gents are still touring, and that for over forty years now... you shouldn't miss them.

Intro/Emotional Blackmail/New Barbarians/In The Wild/Veronique/Flood Of Lies/Warhead/Limo Life/Disease/Violent Revolution/Soldiers Of Fortune/Ice Age/Dress Code/Telephone Numbers/Stranglehold/You Don't Belong/Party In Paris

SONS OF SADISM - Play Loud! EP 1985

Strange... but that's how it is written "S.O.S. were one of the first Skate-Punk influenced bands in Germany" and if this fits I don't know because I'm not a profi in terms Skate Punk and I can't open a drawer, so what the hell is skate punk? "I skate and listen to punk? I skate and wear skater clothes? I drink sprudel and I look shitty?" Fact is: Sons Of Sadism came from the Ruhr area and were damn cool Punx, active in the 80's and band members were: Jescho (vocals & drums), Helge (bass), Björn (guitar) & Tommy (vocals & drums). They released their olny EP "Play Loud!" on Double A Records in 1985, some in red & multicolored vinyl, and 1990 a split compilation with WUT (1000 copies) with all their studio recordings and a nice bandhistory (unfortunately, this album had to be sacrificed due to various money problems). Anyway, if you satisfied with this slab & you want them a-live, move over to tape attack and listen to a gig from 23.02.1985.

EWING OI - Mår Bra EP 1984 + III EP 1986

In the south east of Sweden, more precisely from Linköping comes this short-lived band. Ewing Oi was for a short while four members when Per Hertzberg (bass) joined. Then, when Anders Ekeros (guit/vox) left, they started to play lots of Ramones covers but it didn't work out and after many name changes the band recorded their debut EP in 1984 which was released by Eugen Records and was sold out quickly. 

Three awesome punkrock goodies on it which have the dirty sound of the early times and two years later the band released a second EP named "III" just to create confusion (which was the purpose). And again four pretty 'Viking Rock'N'Roll' punkrock fuckers to heal the world. - The end of the group came in September 1986. One compilation track (Bodybuilder) was used on the Schweden-Punk Teil 2 cassette, a German self-release, which is certainly interesting. That should be it for today, see you again tomorrow.

ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - This Is War 7'' 2011

During November 2011, the Anti-Nowhere League along with the UK Subs supported Motörhead on a number of UK dates and after this they came back with this brand new single. Great new song and unique version of 'Good As It Gets' on the backside. Released as limited edition of 500 copies on nice picture vinyl in paper cover with all lyrics and informations. I think, I must not tellin' you more about these UK punk veterans, every album proves their posture and energy heavy sound, so stop useless words and you have to move.

GOTLANDS TEATER - Rockpojken 7'' 1982

This record was released with two different covers by Noon Records. What we have here is pretty cool exotic music and I like these two songs. Rockpojken was called a show in large part to motivate the inmates to read books. According to Anders T Peedu, who held the show, had done prison studies that showed up to 95% of inmates in prison in Sweden never read a book. According Gotland Theatre website (gotlandsteater) has the show been played around the country, mostly in schools, since 1982. All roles are played by Anders T Peedu, who in his text on the website says that language is power, and that the key to a meaningful life in a rich language. The show is thus much about language and about having a rich language, but also to a large extent on precisely the importance of reading books. A great idea I think, that this record appeared and I don't know what he says but he does it very entertaining.
