ZOUNDS - The Curse Of Zounds! 1982

The ultimate vacation holiday sound, emotional, aggressive & always with us, our # 1

We love the curse of Zounds. They were part of England’s late-’70s/early-’80s anarcho-punk scene; friends of Crass, they released their debut EP on the latter’s label. Though they released a number of EPs and singles, they only managed to put out one full-length album, The Curse Of Zounds, before disbanding in 1982 (they still active again). This collection includes everything the band ever recorded. There are plenty of tough, taut punk tunes here. An album that never gets boring after the first listen as I feel with some other albums and so the CD is once every week in my player, includes all scans which I get from Mr.Waggon. Cheers to you, my friend!!!

THE SKEPTIX - ...So The Youth 1983

A great politically charged band, not as heavily political as Crass, but great well thought out meaninful lyrics are there. The Skeptix originally formed 1980 in Stoke On Trent by Snotty (vocals), Fish (guitars), Usher (bass) and Chig (drums) and they signed to Zenon Records and release their debut 7'' Routine Machine in 1981. Between 1981 & 1983 the band released five singles & an album via the German label Rock-O-Rama Records which was not a good decision, the album went down in nothing and received little response. A split with OHL, The Kids Are United EP, followed and they said goodbye to H.E. and in 1985 the Skeptix split up. In December 2001 the band, with the original band line-up, reformed & started to rehearse for the Holidays in the Sun Festivals in the UK & USA. Their first album in twenty years, Hate & Fear, was recorded & released in 2003. In the same year the Skeptix toured the USA to promote the album. The recording of their gig at New Yorks CBGBs became their next album for release. A DVD of the CBGBs gig, including additional footage from the tour, was also released. So now enjoy fast, brash UK eighties hardcore punk.
