ANGRY SAMOANS - The 90's Suck & So Do You 1998

Back from the dead, the Angry Samoans with new line-up, Metal Mike (vocals/guitar), Alison (guitar/bass), Tony & Julia (bass), Bill (drums) and this is their first studio album since 1988 on Triple X/Bad Trip Records with eight songs in thirteen minutes. Well, it's no smash like their Eighties recordings, but if you're a friend of the Angrys you'll love this slab, as I do... appropriate to the emotional state of the nation. I guess I'll lie down again so I don't miss the match versus Dortmund later. Good night!

ANGRY SAMOANS - The Unboxed Set 1995

"Well, let's seeee.." important band, bombastic music and the Unboxed Set is precisely what the title states; a fuckin' hot compilation that includes all four Angry albums prior to their break-up 1991, a total of forty-three divine incomparable unforgettable nuggets (you see, I'm just throwing around hymns of praise). The music of the Angry Samoans contains all the elements what a dirty, wild, ugly and hard Punk band should have: juvenile humor, raging barre chords, snotty vocals and most importantly, a strong sense of justice. In addition, they also had great songwriting and an unusually tight rhythm section that placed them several notches above the others. From vocalist 'Metal' Mike Saunders' primordial screams to the hilarious false-folk of STP Not LSD. Release also includes truly inspired liner notes from guitarist Gregg Turner, which perfectly capture the band's recklessness, nihilism and uncompromising punk attitude. Angry Samoans were formed in the LA area by "Metal" Mike Saunders (vocals/guitars), P.J. & Gregg (guitars), Todd (bass), Bill (drums) back in 1978. Saunders was already a veteran musician by this point, unlike most of very young punk and hardcore upstarts of that era. The sound was a mix of garage and hardcore punk. In 1995 Triple X did a great service by compiling all of those releases on a compact disc. The title was a jab at the bloated, multiple CD box sets that were all the rage at the time. While vinyl snobs would still want to hunt down the individual records, The Unboxed Set was/is a gift for most fans. This compilation is a classic in its own right and a fuckin' must have!!

ANGRY SAMOANS - Live @ Rhino Records 12.05.1979

This nice release from Triple X Records I bought at the legendary concert of the Angry Samoans in Wiesbaden in May 2007 and I still remember exactly how splendid that was. The atmosphere was great because the band played a funny quiz with the audience, of course I can not say what it was all about anymore but it was unique with the good sixty minutes show, especially I have all their records and they rarely came to Europe at that time. To this moderate recordings is a little info inside and more about the band itself you find in the web.... I add five more songs from a gig at 171 A in New York which was recorded on 14.06.1981 and now: Punkrock!

Too Animalistic/Right Side Of My Mind/Commando/My Old Man's A Fatso/Party Games/Todd's Not Here/You Stupid Asshole/I'm A Pig/I'm In Love With Your Mom/Search & Destroy/I Wanna Be Your Dog/No Fun/Wild Thing/1970

TMA - Beach Party 2000 1987

Final post for today and it's a band that was completely unknown to me until now and I have to say the record is a hammer. Powerful two-minute smasher in just thirty-three total and this is already their second plate on Jimboco Records, excites me completelyWell, a few words from discogs: TMA started out as a three piece in New Brunswick, NJ (Rutgers) in 1981 with Tom (Emanuele), Mike (Demko) and Al (Rosenblum). Lead vocalist Dave Oldfield joined shortly thereafter. The band's moniker either stood for the original band members names or Too Many Assholes, depending on the day of the week and who in the band you asked. Influenced by the Angry Samoans, Black Flag, Circle Jerks and a variety of 70′s punk bands, TMA went on to record What's for Dinner? two years later. During that time, the band played a lot of local gigs at such infamous venues as the Dirt Club, where they built a loyal following and eventually wound up on a live compilation the club released called Hardcore Takes Over (Live @ the Dirt Club). New Jersey had a good hardcore/punk scene in the early 80s with a lot of bands and places to play, besides the Dirt Club, there was the Court Tavern, Roxy, Patrick's and the Melody. TMA were often paired with bands like Detention and Send Help, and played some of their best gigs with the Circle Jerks, Anti-Nowhere League, Government Issue and the Joneses. They also did a few hardcore Sundays at CBGB’s, including a show with the Freeze. Tim Yohannon (R.I.P.) and the staff of Maximum Rock'N'Roll were fans of the band. What's for Dinner? was played a lot in the office and received exposure on Tim's radio show as well. Jello Biafra was also a fan. Nun, I think there is something for everyone with all three posts today and I have promoted you accordingly into the weekend, see ya!

V/A - Underground Hits 1 1982

Und da wir schon bei Samplern sind ist das Teil hier absolute Pflicht!! Die dritte compilation auf AGR Records ist eine zweigeteilte Scheibe, Side A mit deutschen Bands und ich kann wohl behaupten vier der besten hierzulande mit vielen exklusiven Stücken, Arseholes und Chaos Z sind der Hammer, während Side 2 ausschließlich Ami-Bands serviert. Leider liegt meiner Kopie kein Insert bei, GRRR... obwohl ich die in den 80zigern gekauft habe. Scheiß Spiel. Egal, die Scheibe gehört für mich zu den Klassikern und man kann über den Macher von AGR denken was man will, die Platten die er rausgehauen hat sind alle durchweg fantastisch. - First part of Underground Hits on AGR, brilliant song selection, first-class record, if you see this, a must buy! Volume 2 is a bit weaker in my opinion but has exclusive tracks from Spux and Canal Terror, get it!

V/A - Underground Hits 2 1983

Another classic Punk Compilation is this record and I found a good review so I can save any useless words: "In the early to mid 1980s, hardcore punk was on the rise and in some cases the records were selling in the thousands, especially the LPs. There was a whole slew of independent record distributors stocking this new exciting music and the records were finding their way into more and more stores. During this time, the German label Aggressive Rock Produktionen had the idea to start licensing some US hardcore records for release overseas in their home country in an effort to have the records available locally, and not as pricey imports. The label also did a pair of compilations called Underground Hits. Volume One had a pretty equal mix of US and German bands while this one, Volume Two, featured mostly US bands. What was unique about this one was that some of the tracks on here were exclusive to this comp and would be that way for years." - Thanks for this!

V/A - Life Is A Joke Vol.2 + Extra Album 1986

This post has been requested and I don't know who asked, anyway; sixteen bands from ten countries, this international compilation is the second one from the Hamburg based label Weird System series Life Is A Joke and I mean, the first record is the best from this. Here we have well known bands mixed with exotic stuff (Cyan Revue) and bands which don't interest me further. Don't get me wrong, this is a "nice" album and worth listen but when I think about the Keine Experimente comps. this serie looks a bit scarf. No matter, remarkable is the first release which was published in a limited edition as a double album with a gatefold sleeve and called "The Extra Album" and it's fuckin' rare and it's on board. In the end a good record but far from a classic.
