Second album by Fehlfarben on Welt-Rekord, which in my opinion was wrongly given little attention and had a difficult time after the departure of singer Peter Hein. Guitarist Thomas now took over the vocals and I have to say he gives the very good lyrics the necessary expression, his own charm and style and 33 days in chains has the same emotionally oppressive density as the debut. Dynamic interplay of bass and drums, fast beats combined with unique guitar playing. I won't say it's better than the debut, but the fine production plus the fantastic lyrics make this record still worth listening today. I put it out after a long time and immediately transported on my phone. You will find two bonus tracks from the CD version in this file and anyone who likes the music of the Fehlfarben will definitely not be disappointed. Well, times aren't very pleasant right now and I've experienced once again how sneaky people can be, but that doesn't belong here and I need to clear my head. Enjoy Life and good music and trust no one!

V/A - Bloodstains Across Scotland 2003
When the Bloodstains series had its hype in the mid Nineties they were posted on a lot of blogs and I've sucked quite a few too and there were some selfmade cuts by people that didn't come out on vinyl and this compilation is one of them. I went to the trouble of revising the Scottish version again, created a nice back cover and now present it to you and of course a big thx goes to whoever had the idea twenty years ago, should you see this feel honored. Now enjoy this fine music and the weekend!

CONDEMNED 84 - Live & Loud!! 1989
We start the weekend with a decent record from the Live And Loud!! series by Link Records and today we listen to Condemned 84, a British Oi! band from Ipswich, and their stuff was recorded on Oct 29th 1988 at Porter House/Retford and the team consisted of Kev (vocals), Mark (guitars), Gunk (bass) & Cliff (drums). Solid selection of twelve songs from their early era in the typical Streetpunk sound which smile at every Oi! friend. Interesting also the nice comp The Boots Go Marching In which you shouldn't miss. - Maybe a word about the requests, it's my turn and also ripping vinyl will continue soon, I'm a bit scattered & unmotivated. Egal, enjoy the music!

THE SKEPITX & THE INSANE - Split 7'' 1984
Nice split 7Inch on White Rose Records with two well-known acts from England. I don't think, I have to babble unnecessary words here, both bands are guests for tea & biscuits from time to time in my madhouse and therefore a lot of infos can be read and this little review follows now: "A good double-billed 7″. The Insane from Wigan offer a mid-tempo number with a wall of guitars and a great singalong chorus; Stoke On Trent's Skeptix cut alternates between slow-building parts and thrash. Worthy material and hot production make this a winner." (Jeff Bale, MRR #12 • March 1984) - And with that, you're dismissed for today 😑

V/A - No Control At The Country Club (Live) EP 1990
Well, it's time for a fancy compilation with live recordings by four U.S. bands, released by Nemesis Records (600 copies). Three unknown combos (to me) and one that every Punk must know. I guess this 7Inch is an unofficial piece of vinyl but the recordings are consistently acceptable and after ten minutes the short gig is already over. I think, it was a cheap buy at a record fair and since fucking Covid there hasn't been one here. Well, everything comes back... A bit info from the back cover: "On December 1989 the last great West Coast Hardcore show of the Eighties was held, for those of you who were there, great, and for those who weren't, oh well. Here's an audio documentation of classic and upcoming Hardcore bands." Yeah, that should be enough, enjoy!

2.Money Is Freedom - VISUAL DISCRIMINATION
3.Feel Their Pain - INSTED
4.I Want Something More/We're Only Gonna Die - BAD RELIGION

AMDI PETERSENS ARMÉ - Blod Ser Mere Virkeligt Ud På Film EP 2002
Now an older post and I thought this sucker is guest in this program, but false alarm... time for change and here it is: Amdi Petersens Armé is a raw Hardcore combo from Copenhagen and this is their second 7Inch on Havoc Records and six trashy intense goodies were recorded by Amdi Peter (vocals/guitars), Tommas (bass) and Skralle (drums) in March 2002 and if you like early U.S. Hardcore stuff then this is the right shit for your sensitive ears. After a tour through the USA in summer 2002, they broke up. A few members went on to perform in Gorilla Angreb and No Hope For The Kids. For anyone unfamiliar, APA played early-’80s-style hardcore that got many comparisons to early Minor Threat, though they were always a bit more complex than that, and certainly transcended the harDCore comparisons by the time of their second EP. Interesting to know that in 2013 Hjernespind Records released a Discography which features both EPs plus compi tracks, their demo & some unreleased songs, limited edition of 200 LP's, I take it!

LES STANDARDS - Divorcer 7'' 1984
Second 7Inch by Les Standards, a four piece from Bordeaux and the first line-up in 1978 consisted of Philippe (vocals/keys/harmonica), François (guitar), Jonathan (bass), Jeff (drums) and were one of the most original French-speaking groups of the Eighties and stand for straight rock with passion, talent and a keen sense of melody. It's not surprising that they took part in numerous festivals and performed a few titles on the TV sets of Antenne 2 & FR3. On vinyl they released two 7Inches (self-released) and 1984 one mini-album called Celluloid with six alternate rock numbers and more intimate ballads with mythical characters; the name of the group is forgotten on the cover, stickers stuck on in an emergency but didn't change much in the fate of the record. Sales suffer, causing the separation of the combo and a deep scar in the history of Bordeaux's Rockmusic. So much that in 2005 Les Standards returned to the stage and did some local gigs! Philippe had the bad idea to leave us in 2010 at the age of 52. - Now enjoy their rocking spirit and find them on some compilations as well.

THE S.L.A. - Evil Empire 1985
Now we become louder and wilder with the following slab; Evil Empire is the lone album by Portland Punks the S.L.F. and it was released 1985 on their own Eat Me Records label and apart from a few Compilation appearances, I can't tell much about this five piece but I can give you a short review: "A really intense album, both musically and thematically. The S.L.A. have growling vocals à la Fartz, and a very raw instrumental attack; the songs range from careening thrashers to more complex but less hard-hitting cuts. The lyrics are unabashedly radical, whether dealing with wage slavery, national chauvinism, or media sensationalism, but the choice of the band name leaves something to be desired since there is some evidence suggesting that the real Symbionese Liberation Army were police provocateurs rather than genuine and very stupid militants." (Jeff Bale, MRR #32 • January 1986)

PERZONAL WAR - Different But The Same 2002
Some time ago I brought you closer to the debut of the PowerTrashMetal band Perzonal War and today I give you their third album which was released via AFM Records. You can clearly see their development and their songs captivate with hard, powerful, catchy rhythms and melodies. The reviews of this album are mixed and the band is largely unknown, although they work at a high level and don't have to hide behind any big bands from overseas but they had their chance and blew it (some opinions). Of course, there are also weak tracks among them, but overall you can listen to the album, even as non-Metaller, without hesitation and you don't have to become a fan of them, but listen to goes always, right!

VIDRO & CANKRO - Split 12'' 2019
Now an interesting record which made for their Brazilian tour 2019, originally released on tape and a year later released on vinyl in a small edition (50 copies) by the Norwegian label Byllepest. Both versions sold out quickly, so it was time to press the whole thing as a larger edition (Kink Records, 500 copies). It starts with Vidro from Stockholm and the band consisted of Vendela (vocals), Lucas (guitars), Melody (bass), Staffan (drums) and they give us six angry mid-tempo numbers with a slightly melancholic undertone with splendid pissed-off vocals of Vendela. On the other side then Cankro (Costa (vocals/guitars), Coca (bass), Renatinho (drums) from São Paulo with their vinyl debut and they shine with four rough Hardcore attacks, combines with great enriched guitar solis. Both combos do an excellent job and show us once again that this world needs such aggressive inferno. TOP!
- Great Thx to Fredrik -
