MASSAPPEAL - Nobody Likes A Thinker 1986

Cool Hardcore Brett by Massappeal, formed in 1985 around core members, Brett Curotta (guitar) and Randy Reimann (vocals) with various floating rhythm sections, Massappeal forged an intense sound that relied as much on the early eighties hardcore sound. Debut album on Waterfront Records and in this file ten loud Bastards! Puhh, I'm so tired... Easter was extreme but fortunately it is Champions League soon.

TUNNELANGST - 180 BPM [Tape] 1997

Here's a fine tape from Herborn's Tunnelangst (which means "Fear Of Tunnels") and I remember them very well because the manager is a good friend of mine and singer Heini is a real charmin' man, this also applies to the whole band. I organized a gig together with Serene Fall in September 1998 and this evening's still remembered to this day. Sorry for delete the live recordings, always annoys me when I think back. Tunnelangst play punk in the classic british style of the early 80's, leather jackets, lots of alcohol, iros, and songs against all the wrongs of the world. Oh yeah, their scary looking singer (Heini had a iro as big as the fair tower) is also the model for the "Knuddelpunk 2" picture record. They were present on both "Sieger Sehen Anders Aus" compilations and in 1997 they released their full length CD on United Kids Records called "Gepflegte Szene" with fifteen heart attacks. Shortly after the band broke up due to musical differences, a few members founded the Rotten Bastards (Hardcore pur!) to put their musical outpourings into your bloody ears. This tape here contains both demos which they recorded 1996 or 1997 and has eight offensive punk trashers in German/English. Haut Rein!

V/A - Digging In Water 1987

The cover alone is worth buying this cute Compilation on Manic Ears Records & Children Of The Revolution Records and gives a brilliant impression of the slab's musical quality. Refreshing mixture of Hardcore/Punk with relevant bands that didn't have to be asked twice to be part of Digging In Water. And it's not uncontrolled thrashing, rather amazingly solid heavy melodic stuff by seventeen bands that can do that. "This album does a perfect job of summing up a scene, and is a collection of the hottest UK Hardcore bands..." Enough for today, enjoy the weekend and soon the ball will be rolling again.

SKINGRAFT - Oi! Oi! Music EP 2015

Interesting early Eighties Oi! combo from Buxton called Skingraft, consisting of Tommy (vocals), Andy (guitars), Jay (bass), Greg (drums), and in their active lifespan they made their only vinyl appearance on the legendary Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! Compilation (coming soon) and this lost rarity features three demo songs which were recorded at Hologram Studios in Stockport South Manchester in the summer of 1981, released via Sunny Bastards in an edition of 500 copies (200 red, 300 on black vinyl). Even after forty years, I find their bumpy sound can still match with today's Oi! bands, and the quality is excellent as well. The fourth song is a bonus and a live one and before you ask, I have no idea where this track was recorded, doesn't matter either, sounds cool. They are currently working on new material and it remains to be seen when this will appear. Until then, enjoy the voice of the youth, Oi!

THE STRIKE - Oi! Collection 2004

This is a damn cool release from a damn cool band. The Strike never recorded an album and on this collection are songs from the Split Skin's & Punks 2 with The Betrayed, three demo cuts and all their official bastards. Unbelievable that their material was released so late because The Strike were founded in the late 70's near Inverness. Their first vinyl appearance were two songs on the Strength Thru Oi! compilation, Gang Warfare and Skinhead, both fucking good. Other compilations goodies followed but for an own album has it as I said never be enough, for whatever reason. There is an informative biography inside by Fergus (singer) so I don't wanna tell you. Musically fourteen shiny Oi! smasher with heart & power!

OLHO SECO - Os Primeiros Dias EP 1988

One is still going today, freshly ripped and now on the table: we enjoy Brazil's greatest Hardcore band and they have 100% to smash your shack: Olho Seco, and they played rough and fuzzy music somehow retained a melodic undercurrent, making their songs instantly ingrained in the old medula for all time and the interesting thing about their music is the totally distorted recordings and I always think about it, do they use a guitar? Their songs sound like a harvester or a forest worker, so I'm really blown away every time when I listen to this fucking noises. Sure is, this is a perfecrt record for all raw Hardcore maniacs worldwide and you certainly like bands such as Ratos De Porão or Lixomania. Olho Seco were from São Paulo, formed in 1980 and on this record were involved Fabio (vocals), Redson (guitars), Val (bass), Sartana (drums) and this blast was released via New Face Records. The raw and direct sound typical of Punk bands became heavier and faster in Olho Seco's interpretation, which helped the band win respect and influence new generations of Punks. After their compilation tracks they put out the split album Botas, Fuzis, Capacetes (available today at inflated prices) with Brigada Do Ódio, this split was very well received and resulted in the band being invited to participate in many international compilations such as Welcome To 1984, released by Maximum Rock'N'Roll. After that, Olho Seco released several albums on their own and many tributes to this band have been produced, the most important being the Tributo A Olho Seco compilation, which included the greatest Punk/HC bands in Brazil, as well as Força Macabra (from Finland) and Cripple Bastards (from Italy). At the end of the day, Olho Seco continues to be faithful to the style which they made famous: fast & agressive Punkrock.

INSTIGATORS - Shockgun 1988

Hell Yeah, another saugute record I love to hear is the third album of the Instigators and I have the German one which was released via Weird System (unfortunately without insert) and they say with a better cover, absolutely true and has a bonus song opposite the original on Positive Records. Twelve melodic guitar-heavy punkrock pearls as they can only be played by this band. A pleasure this music and that's why I'm a damn fuckin' punkrocker! How can you sit still and accept all the radio shit? The mendacious business of artificially diced arbots, which is all about money, the fake music industry who tell you what to hear, all these hypocritical bastards... the society needs people like us because we show them how stupid they are and we are many (no idea why I leave now this small puke but it just pisses me on). Well, anyway... I recommend you to get their first album Nobody Listens Anymore and find other compilation tracks by using the search function at the top left.

V/A - Rock Anti Mili 1988

Another great compilation, originally released as tape to support any facilities, occupied houses, etc... and finally reissued, and for the first time on vinyl, by El Lokal six years ago, motto: Rock Anti Mili! Not difficult to guess what the twenty-one, partly well-known, bands want and I think it's still a hot topic today, because who needs fucking orders, uniforms & armys? Little fat ugly types who can't satisfy their woman/man and don't know what "LIFE" means, types with massive inferiority complexes, unscrupulous industrial bastards, blah blah blah... I can name a lot more assholes, but let's leave that, the inculcation of such benefits has been substantially pioneered and influenced by our subculture; beautiful noises spread out from this record and I love the aggressiveness of Spanish bands and this wonderful slab has enough of them. Comes with lyric-sheet and cool artwork. ENJOY!!

LEATHERFACE - Edward's/Birmingham 31.3.1991

I'm sure a lot of you know the last Leatherface album which is called 'Viva La Arthouse' and it's again a delicious release. Recorded live in Melbourne, nineteen tracks in an awesome sound quality. And I sit here & listening to this album again & again. I love Leatherface and they accompanied me for almost twenty years. Like the 'Live In Oslo' album with this release you can do nothing wrong, you’d better hurry up and get a copy. Leatherface live shows have become the stuff of legend, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to caught them live you’ll have witnessed the pre-gig excitement, the trepidation of the emotional possibilities, the rollercoaster ride of each song and the overall full on powerhouse brutality of melodic punk rock. Here is another bootleg from my hard drive and this post is the proof that you can be creative when you listen at punk rock. Now I dig out this treasure with thirteen songs in a consistently acceptable sound quality. Get this for free and buy their new album - it's a must have and worth every cent! CHEERS!

PANKRTI - Namesto Tebe EP 1981

Pankrti (The Bastards in Slovene) were a punk rock band from Ljubljana, Slovenia, active in the late 70's and during the 80's. The band started playing in fall of 1977, practicing in the basement of Kodeljevo's music school, and held the first concert at Moste High School. Initially they played covers of established punk bands including the Sex Pistols, The Clash and New York Dolls. Some of their first songs that became popular were "Za Zelezno Zaveso" (Behind The Iron Curtain), "Anarhist" (Anarchist) and "Lublana Je Bulana" (Ljubljana is Sick). They were included in the Novi Punk Val compilation album. They released their first album Dolgcajt (Boredom) in 1980 and gained the status of a cult band all over former Yugoslavia. - This EP is an awesome four track killer (two slow & two fast numbers) with rough & dirty melodies and is made to play fuckin' loud.....you got me?

here

PANKRTI - Dolgcajt 1980

Debut album by this great band from Ljubljana which were formed in 1977. Pankrti (The Bastards) were known for provocative and politically engaged songs and billed themselves "The First Punk Band Behind The Iron Curtain" (Look at it this way) - They are one of the most important former Yugoslav Punk groups and one of the first punk rock bands ever formed in a communist country (really?). After five albums the band ceased to exist at the end of 1987. In 2007 the band get reunited. Get their 7inch Namesto Tebe too. Pankrti rocks modestly. So, its Saturday and its Soccer time.

THE PAIN - 30 Stitches Of Pain (Collection 1977-1979) 2018

Okay folks, you're lucky.... a second post is comin', I'm in the mood for postin' today. The last days and weeks it was different & I was thinking about to close the blog because my motivation was gone and blogging is simply time consuming and that annoys in the long run. I sway like drunk sometimes, but there are so many undiscovered treasures and timeless classics, and they keep calling me and the bastards don't give rest. NO!, they rather infect my punk heart so I haven't really a choice to fuck their damn ears. Well let's see how long I can hold out. Rocking Rolf Records presents a fantastic collection of thirty smashers by the Pain, Swedish punx from Nacka, with lots of unreleased ditties, 1-10 are the officially released ones from their three singles and the RIP-cassette, while 11-30 are unreleased demos, rehearsals and live tracks. Extreme rare, only 100 copies. This is a revised version with 192k/bit and if you want the rough draft (320k/Bit), click My Head Is Burnin' and check out the comment section.

I.A.F. & RÄHÄKKÄ - Split EP 2003

Again further with more extreme music, this time with two absolute brilliant bands and I love this awesome record. AARRGGHHHHHH, I'm fuckin' angry!!!! OK, first side is awesome killer trash hardcore from Barcelona from a band called I.A.F. (Ideal Anti Fascista) and if you have heard this you wonder if the B-side hardly beat this. Driving played hardcore volume with tempos and they're really pissed. I don't understand a fucking word so I think music like this speaks for itself (don't worry there's a lyric sheet inside) and I love this aggression and anger underlaid with a terrible sound, these guys are damn good. The same applies to Rähäkkä, a scandi-thrash-hardcore-crust band, extremely drunk but still political. The band was formed in the mid-90's in Tampere, Finland, featuring members from such legendary bands as Kaaos, Bastards and Kohu-63. The band is now back from a hiatus as long as three and a half years and is more fucked up than ever before, doing shows every once in a while and about to record some new material in the very near future.
