KORRUPT - s/t 2x7'' 1992

Six piece from Bremen with their debut EP and Korrupt's line-up falls out of the tight punk scheme: In addition to two guitars, bass and drums, Smeagol and Sonia share the vocals, and recently a saxophone adds a certain danceability to the band's sound. Founded early nineties the band released two records and three singles plus a few tapes before they broke up at the end of the old century. The seven play solid dynamic loud punkrock, with some skabeats, fast power pieces and move lyrically, socially critical and politically with a clear form of expression. I really like their varied performance and the artwork is also great, a folded paper cover with lyrics printed on the inside and a screen printed patch plus two 7Inches. With Korrupt everything is just right. So far completely unknown to me and nice to discover such an interesting combo. Listen and start the Pogo!

PANIK - Aujourd'Hui Plus Qu'Hier... 2018

An intense game yesterday for both teams with the happier result for France. But I noticed that these guys are unsportsmanlike, crybugs and behave like small children, top players but absolutely unsympathetic, no character and it hurts me to see such a lousy attitude. Well, I hope these Ikonomats don't win the title, they don't deserve it. This is my opinion! 

Today's Post: "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien!", exactly my motto and also of Panik LTDC, French punx from Paris and active from 1981 to 1986, reactivated and since then more or less active again. They could take the stage as legends of french spikes, but the length of their songs is probably the reason they didn' so they earned rather mediocre laurels. Their first album Les Troubadours Du Chaos came out in 1983 without the help of a label and proves this impressively. Not a bad record and now, after almost forty years, I am also more amenable to melodic long nuggets, but back then, the clocks went differently. A few tracks were often included on compilations and handmade tapes, whether they are from the period or today and 1986 the band stopped after the departure of Noel (bass) and Pierre (drums). A tape Live Au Plan followed 1991 and in 2007 the group was revived with Christian (vocals), Guy (guitar), Ben (bass), Xavier (drums) and gave an unforgettable concert in Geneva with other old heroes. 2018 marks a turning point in the history of Panik LTDC with new members and the release of the official second album Aujourd'hui Plus Qu'Hier on Combat Rock/Dirty Punk Records. Ten songs were written and thirty-five years passed between this and the debut and their style has been refined, Christian's voice kept again all its energy in and the album does us the honor of paying homage to Alain Bashung by offering a superb cover revisited from one of his iconic songs "La Nuit Je Mens". Solid record and not only interesting for us old sacks.

ÄNI(X)VÄX - Punkrockers On Speed EP 1998

Time to pay tribute to a band which deserves your full attention. Scandalous, legendary & historical; Münster's cult combo Äni(x)väx. Founded 1984 by Adam (vocals), Frank & Fast Gonzo (guitars), Carsten (bass), Hakker (drums) and unfortunately they didn't make any record, only contributions on various compilations and this bootleg EP (limited edition) came posthumously out with all seven studio recordings. "To believe that this band's popularity was due to their musical ability alone would be a grotesque fallacy. Äni(x)Väx concerts also flocked to young people who were less likely to like punk rock sounds. Rather, these people were attracted by the spectacular trappings of the Äni(x)Väx performances, such as the street battle between punks and police after a concert in the Neuen Krug (1984) or a pizza battle 1988 in the Odeon." The band were known and notorious far beyond Münster's scene and toured nationwide. And that although hardly anyone knew how to pronounce the band name. Namely Änimälwäx. The name was a code for animal vaccination. Now, thirty-two years after the band's very last concert, their first record, Schock Und Drama, has been released, to which an elaborately designed twenty-page booklet is enclosed. Old photos, historical documents, lyrics and liner notes from Adam. A total of thirteen songs: six studio recordings and seven live takes, 100 copies in red and gold vinyl and released via Power It Up. Well, I can only say an excellent slab (I already have one!) and absolutely recommendable, a visit to their bandcamp site will clear up any doubts. Unless, you have no feelings for honest, loud, rough & dirty vibrations. In 1989 the band became history.

V/A - Punk Territory Vol.1 - U.S.A. 1976-81 [1994]

Half time in Seville and again a damn good match. I really enjoy Euro 2020, I think the football crazy among you see it similarly. - I wanna use the break for a quick post of another small series, this time from the Italian label Anthology, their baby is simply called: Punk Territory. A total of seven CD's with rare singles by American, British and Italian bands were ruthlessly scattered among the cheering music lovers in the mid-nineties and like the well-known detectives, finest material has been accessible again and refreshed our listeners' hearts. A long time ago I posted Vol.7 and now I'm overwhelmed with the rest that I don't want to withhold from you and that will gradually appear here in this theater. One more reason to stay on the ball here (unfortunately no scans of the booklets within, should someone have these please send) Fazit: Volume 1 is full with twenty-six smashers, thirteen bands and only hits. And now ready for the second half ⚽⚽

THE DETONATORS - Balls To You 1989

I'm happy to see some more tips and after the exciting game day yesterday, the tournament will hopefully continue relaxed, but enough football. - High Energy Sound now from the Detonators, a hardworking, long-running, prolific and vastly underrated band. That sums up the career of the Detonators, who began in California in the mid-1980s but inexplicably decided to move to Eugene, a sleepy nest in Oregon, maybe they wanted a challenge. The band considers Balls To You as their best effort. They create hand-crafted fine, memorable dynamic smasher with a good dose hardcore, strong guitar riffs and simple vocal lines but each song is uniquely its own. This album shakes your balls properly through and Bruce (vocals/guitar), Juan (guitars), Bryson (bass), Scott (drums) are merciles. Compare the record to their Billion Dollar Nazis EP from 1991 and you will know what I mean. Now an appetizing tuna fillet and then guggn what England brings.

V/A - Red Rossetten Records Proudly Present EP 1995

Well, your participation in the prediction game is very modest and I think it's a shame, try something different and it's certainly interesting which teams you would favor. Well, we have a handful and I'm setting the deadline for your last instincts on Sunday evening 18:00 CET.

The following small but great 7Inch fits perfectly to Euro 2020, all six bands come from countries that take part in the tournament and half of them were recorded live, all known with famous Gassenhauer and the record should be only appeared as promo, at least readable on the labels, but I think that's a hoax. Never mind, a fertile slab and convincing like yesterday's appearance by the Italian team. Now the second game with Switzerland, which is traded as secret favorite.. hmmm, let's see.

1.Punx Picnic - OI POLLOI

2.Class War - RAMZES & THE HOOLIGANS

3.Skins & Punx - BLANC ESTOC

4.A.C.A.B. - CONTEMPT

5.Staatsfeind - CANAL TERROR

6.No Future - ATEMNOT

UEFA Euro 2020 ... later than expected!

Yeah, the European Football Championship is finally rolling across our continent (of the eleven selected cities and countries, seven cities and six countries have never hosted a European Championship finals match before) and that took's a long fucking time because of the superfluous corona shit. Sorry for my vulgar pronunciation, but this crap, made by people and costing us all many days of life and freedom makes me angry. Nobody is responsible, nobody takes care, there is bluntly lying, and we, I repeat, WE are always the stupid ones who pay for their damn ruthlessness.

No wonder their whining is great when someone runs AMOK somewhere... but enough of these assholes, from today the ⚽ is rolling and at many places in Europe we come together and cheer with our team for ninety minutes with great emotions, much food + beer, good friends and far far away from all this trouble what I call "Human Bastard". I got the idea to organize a little prediction game with you, who will be the Euro 2020 winner? Submit your tips in the comment section, the best receives a CD with its favorite songs from wdthtc, I'll put it together, add a cover and ready... what do you think? Deadline for placing tips tomorrow 12:00 CET. This should be a pure fun event and everyone can join in.

And as always with big soccer tournaments , the sun is shining continuously for four weeks and I put my bad mood aside, because the kick-off in Rome will be three and a half hours. 🍻 Have fun with the games, don't forget to leave your tips, and enjoy living!

ABERRANT - D.H.I.B.A.C. - Split EP 2004

Aberrant are from Colorado and they have a few EP's out and a split Album with Canada's Grindcore band named Fistfuck. 2010 was a CD with all their songs published called Complete Grindworks 2010 by Criminal Attack Records. I think, this must drive you really insane, D.H.I.B.A.C. is from Nancy/France and they have two split EP's and a few tapes released, maybe they exist no more, no idea. From this little fucker are 508 copies made and I think you need no further words to get this stuff, so start this friday with scathing grindcore tracks that will blow your mind and a must for fans of grind, crust and punk alike!

TÜCHEL - Eat Shit EP 1995

A trip to the southern Alpine region on a date with Tüchel, a combo from St.Gallen and the five doing their Punk'N'Roll thing since 1993 and have numerous tapes, vinyl and CD releases as well as articles for compilations and radio shows published all over the world. This is their debut EP on Boin-n-g! Records and was recorded by Huldi (vocals), Hüe & Aldo (guitars), Roy (bass) and Sascha (drums). This Cracker offers four fat extraordinary stomper which I'm not used to from this country and I'm positively impressed, the five do an excellent job. Due to numerous good reviews, another five hundred copies of the single were pressed soon. The newly inflamed interest in punk naturally contributed to the most successful section in the history of Tüchel. Many line-up changes have accumulated in their lifespan, but they celebrate their no-frills, explosive sound with the same passion as they did a quarter of a century ago. Trend-free and hand-knotted and they are far from the end.

VERBAL ABUSE - Just An American Band 1984

Nothing new today and more a re-post which was original posted by Vin from Blogged & Quartered blog and to be honest, I'm currently a bit demotivated and dull... - Vins Words: "Texas hardcore band who later moved to CA. This is their first and best album from 1984, ripped from the CD on Beer City with a full live set as bonus tracks. On this album they were a powerful and fast hardcore thrash band. They recorded another album in '86 with a completely new line-up and went full on metal." Info: Verbal Abuse was formed 1981 in Houston by 17-year-old singer/writer Nicki (vocals), Radi (bass), his brother General Electric, aka G.E., (guitars) and John (drums). The band lived together in a church, where Radi was working. G.E. left the band after claiming to have found religion and declaring that Nicki was evil. He was replaced by guitarist Joie. During this early period, drummer Jason from the band Skate Death occasionally assumed drum duties when John was not available.

Verbal Abuse was signed by Fowl Records and in 1983 they recorded their first album, Just An American Band, which was released early in 1984. Next, Brett left the band to join the army, and Nicki's former Sick Pleasure bandmate Dave "Koko" Chavez took his place on bass. The band then embarked on a four month tour of the U.S. and Canada to promote their record and performed with numerous influential bands. After finishing, Nicki decided to leave the band early 1985 due to stylistic and creative differences, citing Joie's penchant for flamboyant wardrobe choices including a bolero, a cape and various scarves and bandanas tied around his legs and microphone stands, as well as his leanings toward a more glam metal musical style. Nicki returned to Houston and formed the band Afterbirth.

Five more records followed, but never reached the quality of their first smasher, and thus no longer my attention.
