POP RIVETS - Back From Nowhere EP 1980

This rare record on Hipocrite Music/M.T.Sounds was released without a sleeve and another highlight from the U.K. Three damn catchy punk goodies from the Pop Rivets. Meeting exactly my nerve and get everyone into the correct sitting position. Their 'Greatest Hits' album can be found also here in this cinema. Cast off and into a new sunny day, but before a delicious pint......small joke!

V/A - Four On 4 EP 1984

One more piece from the Wanted-List and this is a damn cool garage rock goodie!Some know this record as 'Trash On The Tube' EP, released via Big Beat Records. I guess the liner notes from the back cover are clear: "Here is a lively sequence of four favourites from Channel 4's great teenagers' television show, 'The Tube', that attracts a nation-wide audience every Friday evening. This dynamic programme is a feast of powerful beat music - a 'knockout' for every teenager. On this EP you have four fantastic garage rockers with a typical audience of teenagers who immensely enjoyed themselves & contributed to the atmosphere. These songs were filmed on Sunday 2nd September 1984" (Nicky Garrard) - This release actually contains studio recordings of the tracks performed live for the television show.

1.Out Of Control - THEE MILKSHAKES

2.Reaching My Head - THE PRISONERS

3.Come On Kid - THE STING-RAYS

4.Ride This Torpedo - TALL BOYS

DÄMMERATTACKE - Tausend Seen 1982

Panza-Platte, the legedary label released a lot of finest Austria underground records. So here's the prove for a further example: Dämmerattacke is a band from Wien/Neustadt formed 1979. The band brought never heard music to light and struck all in amazement except to those who put their music categorically as synthybooming. And in fact there is no snotty '77 punk rock around here, their music is more oblique wave post-punk with pretty much synthesizers (I not mean the cheap NDW scrap you know), the melancholy voice of Michael, coupled with very personal lyrics lends all the songs a somber mood and pop sounds different. Hmm, really hard to describe. Well fuck it, all ten songs are for me a pleasant listening experience and I'm grateful to present you this rare piece of vinyl here. The band disbanded 1983. Note from the cover, Instruction For Use: Play This Product Loud An Turn Up Treble! OK, here we go...so what do you think?

V/A - Åminne Punkfiesta 1981

Well, the last for today and a post which I have been waiting a long fuckin' time for and I am very pleased to present you this historical document now. This compilation (probably only a few editions were pressed) should be so rare that this LP is not mentioned in Peter Jandreus' awesome book The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Punk. Hmm, I don't know why but all the eleven songs are quite brilliant, (just listen to the song from MONO... world class!) Okay not much '77 punk style here and all the bands are very unknown and probably have not much more or anything else published, however musically every band convinced. A few reggae tunes, followed by simply classic punkrock and with a perfect KBD sound is this record a highlight of finest Swedish underground music and probably the rarest record here on Wdthtc.

V/A - Screaming Fists Vol.2 1998

All Right, searchin' for this a long fuckin' time and I'm glad to present you this cool record. Volume 1 was released via Anarchy International Productions in 1996 and two years later LAMF released this compilation. Both full with early rare punkrock and could be considered as further Killed By Death Sampler. Since this is not so I guess both plates are hard to find which certainly corresponds to the limited supply. Howsoever, I'm sure you with good taste like this shit.... Aloha!

V/A - Killed By Death #26 1996

You know with a KBD Sampler you can't do nothing wrong, right? # 26 is a collectionn of early canadian punk from 1977 - 80. Unfortunately, this is one of the harder KBD's to find. It's also one of the best! Much of what is on here is already well known. D.O.A. (two live cuts), The Action & Viletones along with one Forgotten Rebels (Angry) are pretty. Even with the three Smash The State volumes covering a lot of the lesser known bands, a better effort than this could have been put forth. Once more a fine limited (1000 copies) Compilation from the series which I highly appreciate. Brand new and also great Bloodstains Across Canada with more rare Canada stuff.

1.Nazi Training Camp - D.O.A.

2.TV's On The Blink - THE ACTION

3.Danger Boy - THE VILETONES

4.Backdoor To Hell - THE VILETONES

EINLEBEN - Bunt 1996

Continue with one of my favorite bands, these guys from Wasserberg, the band has been named after a EA80 song and they have lots of gigs played together. I had the good fortune to visit some of these fantastic concerts and got to know the members itself. Very sympathetic contemporaries. Einleben exists from 1994 - 2002 and played german punk with challenging lyrics and of course some resemblance to the Boxhamsters and EA80. Ballads are such much in their repertoire as fast aggressive punk pieces and it is this mix that makes their sound unique. Far from the current scrap. For those of you who don't know Einleben begin here with their brilliant first album and discover all their other releases. TIP!

WILLY WONKAS - Psycho Girl EP 2000

Here we have band from Seveso/Italy with their lone EP and they may have suffered a chemical damage which they mutate into evil punks. The proof is the five short Punk Rock smashers with offensive lyrics and a melodic hardcore garage sound. Released in purple vinyl by the american label Intensive Scare Records. Rocks definitely and brings your neighbors certainly out of their well-deserved siesta.

TROTZ ALLEM - s/t EP 1983

Long time nothing from Switzerland and I change this with this rare obscure EP which was released on Soilant Records. The band is called Trotz Allem from Aarau and this is their only record. An all-female band, five girls on bass, drums and vocals. Seven pretty minimalist songs in a decent recorded sound. Three of the five girls are on the mic and the polyphonic singing comes very nice. Musically perhaps not sophisticated but the girls make this really good and I like their D.I.Y. style. The cover art is designed very ornate, a nice fold-cover in which the single waits for you, decorated with colorful hand-painted pics and a lyric-sheet. Amazing lot for such a small unknown pearl from the Alps. I am always delighted when I discover such elaborate works of art (and sometimes the music doesn't matter). But with Trotz Allem everything is perfect. They were present on three tape compilations with more nervous tracks which all were released in the mid 80s, see discogs. Rundes Teil, check for yourself!
