THE CHEATERS - Man As Hunter EP 1980

Nice litte record by this four piece - Scott (vocals), Kurt (guitars), Al (bass) & Dave (drums) - from Seattle and we enjoy three brilliant tracks, their only official record released on No Threes Records. In 2015 a Compilation, See You Next Year, Fuckbrains, was released, featuring additional recordings from 1978/1979, all previously unreleased. It came in a limited edition of 200 copies on blue vinyl and a four-page picture book. The info is used from this slab: "The Cheaters began in late 1977, like many other bands of their time, high school friends who wanted to “form a band” and finding their outlet in Punkrock music. Brothers Kurt & Al Bloch writing songs and practicing in their parents’ basement. With no money to record properly, they began a year of basement tapes, very crude to begin with, but as the playing improved, so did their “one-track” recordings. Saving up enough money to record and release a Single in late 1979, they promptly disintegrated live on stage in October of that year." - They are represented on a few Compis and all essential.

V/A - Shake Some Action Vol.5 2003

Today I wanna shine with a few essential compilations and we kick off with a mini serie called Shake Some Action which bring us rare Powerpop, Mod & New Wave pearls from the late 70s to the mid 80's and each volume illuminates a special area of our wonderful planet and #5 is dedicated to the U.K. and Ireland. The whole thing is really put together with much love, as well the detailed booklet with all infos about bands/songs. I give 10 points out of 10 and it's damned important that such discs are dug up by fiery doers, Thx!

V/A - Killed By Death #12 1996

Das von den united fuckin' states fucking great music comes shows #12 of this rather unknown compilation series and Redrum Records, the label of the possessed, has banned twenty American classics on purple vinyl. The slab goes at the first tone offensive and keeps the level amazingly high to the last song. This volume is an ass kicker, a tsunami, an energy bundle of forty minutes wild, snotty, raw and catchy impacts. I can only recommend you buy this record and enjoy the sound in full volume, your neighbors will definitely invite you to the next barbecue party because they notice how cool you are. I think there are enough copys still available so get yours. A must have!

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!
