SKANSTULL - Inga Pengar Ingen Mat 7'' 1980

For almost two years this little not really punky 7Inch of the band Skanstull from Stockholm is slumbering unworked on my computer and I lose slowly the overview of all the cool stuff I have. OK, this is the bands second release on Hemliga Bolaget and they're playin' a solid rockin' roll with much fun. In total, they have made three singles and two other songs can be found on the compilation Hemliga Vågen, also from Hemliga Bolaget. Musically in top form, catchy and very nice bass running.

CARNAGE - All The Sad People 7'' 1983

From Bexhill-On-Sea, England comes this combo and they released after their Beautiful Carnage demo this 7'' at Creative Reality Records. And today I'm very lazy about writing and I'm using this short but full of content review: "This debut combines a garage recording, psychedelia, and an early U.K. punk sound with a modern anarchist stance. It has spunk and scathing cynical lyrics. Not exceptional, but raw and spirited." - Ruth Schwartz, from MRR #11. - I move back to the soccer Champions-League and leave you with this nugget.

V/A - The Rare Stuff? 1978

The Rare Stuff is a record which was to date unknown to me and I do not know a single song about it and I'm pleased to hear new fresh sounds and all sixteen ditty's are very welcome so we step in. Especially the Saints (Australia) stuff please me and I wonder why I did not find them somewhere before?? Hmmm... anyway, I guess this will change now. Also the rest (U.K.) is presentable and overall a very good piece of 33⅓ RPM. So the morning program ends and keep your peckers up!

V/A - Killed By Death #51 2003

Yes, this record rule and is a fuckin' document of extreme rare, wild, rough and lost Swedish punk nuggets. Every song a classic and if you can't move your ass to this sound go and listen to Heino & friends. Like Volume 1 in a limited edition of 500 copies thrown into the world and not easy to get. I have a very good exemplar and the crackers are from the original 7Inches, within all infos and with thirty-three minutes playin' time much too short. Lovely Unbearable!

FLAG OF DEMOCRACY - Down With People 1990

Good Morning Friends and let us start this unknown Tuesday with extreme noises by Flag Of Democracy, a combo from Ambler, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia which formed 1982. This is their third album, in Europe via Bitzcore released with fourteen wild hardcore numbers. A bit wiki info: F.O.D. plays a mixture of melodic punk, frequently with two-part vocal lines, and noisy, dissonant hardcore, often at extreme speeds – many F.O.D. songs push past 200 beats-per-minute. The band never attained commercial success, but enjoys popularity in certain underground circuits, particularly in Europe. You should listen also to their Love Songs EP from 1984 and the band is still active and I'm finished with the fairy tale hour, perfect wake-up music or?

ATTIC - Yes I Want To 7'' 1979 + All Plans Exist EP 1980

And one more from the Wanted-List and I put both records in. Attic are a Portsmouth-based quintet founded in 1978 by Robert Bartlett (vocals), Pete Coote (guitar), Mark Bushell (drums), Steve Austin (bass) and Simon Green (guitar), Attic made their recording debut on June 15, 1979, with the Yes I Want To 7'' in 1979 released on Brain Booster Records, an independent label created by the band with another local combo, The Frames. Attic contributed two tracks on the local compilation South Specific and issued a tape-only album called Panda Music (all on Brain Booster Records), before splitting in 1981. Very nice new wave goodies in this file and you will appreciate them.

UNNATURAL AXE - Is Gonna Kick Your Ass 1978-1988

Awesome punk band from Boston and I quote you a review from an expert of the Boston punk scene: "It is 1977. A scruffy neighborhood of Boston sprouts a band of naive working-class kids who think they can shake up the world with their personal take on the punk rock experience. Not content, or possibly even competent enough, to be another Jam clone or a Clash clone, Unnatural Axe bash out their own brand of two-chord and three-chord rock, and crank it up extra high. Throughout 1978 and 1979 the Axe were playing regularly in New York, and at Cantone's, the Rat, and the Space in Boston as the opening act for the "big" UK and US new wave acts of the time. Their strangest billing must have been opening for The Police at the Rat in Kenmore Square. It is truly unfortunate that Sting squandered this "turning point" opportunity to learn the essentials of punk rock from Boston's finest. Sting's only question of the Axe vocalist: "Did you poop?" But such is the fate for the greatest moments of brilliance of our times: few people recognize it. The big club owners didn't see it and the major record labels didn't hear it. After two short years, the Axe packed it in. As a result, the Unnatural Axe discography is small, but what recordings do exist provide the documented proof that the Axe were, and shall always remain, the most important punk band Boston will ever call its own." (Monsieur Michel Bastarache) - Enough words, time for music so let's go boys!

EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN - Thirsty Animal 12'' 1982

This rare 12Inch from the Einstürzende Neubauten was self-released by the band and exist in two versions with different covers. Both songs doesn't sound as commercial as their new albums and I post this because I ripped today and the last three days a few  albums and somehow their noises fits my current emotions. Anyway, to discover something new must old shit go kaput, right? Is always painful but mankind will survive so fuck each other remorseless. Don't worry, I like cooking...

DELTA KOPINSKI - Skandal EP 1997

Let's get weird and weird and confused are exact my feelings now but I don't want you tell more because it's nothing new and it would be fuckin' boring I think. Anyway, let's join this band, another side-project of EA80 frontman Junge called Delta Kopinski. Fat bass, driving organ, no guitars, sung by a minor girl, sometimes chaotic & doomy, pure punk rock. This record was strictly limited (300 copies) and released via Junges label Musikzimmer & it got me a lot of toil and sweat to snatch a copy. Highly recommended! A real unicum and for real hardcore junkies like me :)
