CRISIS - @ Surrey University 10.05.1980

So, dear ones. I soon leaving home for my friends to see the German team against Italy later and I have to buy some grill food and Äppler for a nice BBQ. I'm already a little drunk and linger one more bit in bed. Now to Crisis and this is a live recording from their final gig and was transfer via tape, so the recordings are not in CD quality but acceptable. Crisis started out in the late 70s with the rise of the British hardcore punk movement. They were at the forefront of the political take on punk, all of their songs being about the state of the UK and its government and anti Nazism (which will get interesting). They release several singles which all great in my opinion and one album which is rather mediocre. Anyway, here are pure twelve rough goodies showing how great they were. After Crisis, bands Death In June, Sol Invictus and others came from the wreckage.

CRISE TOTAL - E A Crise Continua 1996

Another example here, this band needs more than ten years to put out a record and the reason why I honestly can't understand because this music kicks every stupid asshole and if I had a label these times I would take it immediately. Crise Total (Total Crisis) were formed in 1983 in two Lisbon suburbs (Algueirao & Portela), they were pioneers of the Hardcore/Punk movement in Portugal along with bands like Mata-Ratos/Ku de Judas/Cagalhoes/etc. they just had 25thaniversary & still going strong! The first line-up included Manolo (voice), John Philip (drums), Rui Ramos (guitar) and Paul Vial (bass). From the start they're at home in the early british and american 80's Hardcore sound, rough, fast and angry, although after six years it turned into a bit more post-punkish thing which saw the band changing their name. Their first song onto vinyl was on the great Ao Vivo No Rock Rendez Vous Em compilation from 1984. They were also present on a few tape comps and on the 1989 Tour De Farce #3 record. They had several line-ups but most of the time and recently the dynamic duo Manolo and Rui."They celebrated 25 years of Crise Total and since then the band has continued to gig every time its possible since Manolo lives in the U.K. these days,the begining of next year they are getting together to record a new album or maybe a split...ahhh, also when they had they're 25th aniversary a live cd was put out in form of celebration with some of the old recordings from the '80's...this is the short version bio and for now we know that that the crisis does continue, for how long we don't know but thats the way things are." (Manolo '09). E A Crise Continua is the debut record, released on Fast'n'Loud Records and full with sixteen crisis-proof songs. Hossa!!!

CRISIS - The Guilty Have A Past 2004

This unofficial compilation by State Laughter Records is full with fourteen nuggets and we talkin' about Crisis, a band which was formed 1977 in Guildford, a large town in Surrey, with the lineup of Phrazer (vocals), Lester Jones (lead guitar), Douglas Pearce (guitar), Tony Wakeford (bass) and Insect Robin (drums) and they released in their short lifetime three great singles and a mini-LP. "Crisis adopted slower tempos and concentrated more on the atmosphere and tension of the music rather than just making a loud, generic thrash.In many ways, by 1978 they were already dabbling in a style which, much later on, would be referred to as Post-Punk, not a million miles away from early Joy Division or The Ruts’ moodier moments." In early 1979, the band underwent a major change in personnel when Phrazer and Insect Robin were replaced by Dexter (a longtime fan and roadie) and Luke Rendle. After performing their last show, supporting Magazine and Bauhaus in their hometown of Guildford @ Surrey University 10.05.1980, the band broke up.

FUN FUN CRISIS - Fishing For Compliments 1989

Some time ago I already mentioned the following band and now you can listen to their only album. Fun Fun Crisis are from Hanover and emerged from the ruins of the Cretins & the line-up consisted of Michael (vocals/guitars), Frank (bass), Karsten (drums) and Fishing For Compliments came via 1st Records as part of a small mini-series called Young RebelsI stumbled across this record by accident and since the Cretins records appeal very much to me, I had to buy this copy and musically it ties in seamlessly with the 10Inch. Six catchy, melodic pop songs with a touch of Punk manage to escape yourself from everyday life for good twenty minutes and are just as useful for a romantic evening for two. Maybe a little tip from me to play this music on a hot expectant date if you have no idea. If you like it, you should get this nugget and, as far as I know, it can be had for a few euros, but listen first.

V/A - British Underground 1977-1982 Vol.2

There are days I really like to sit at the computer and postin' some rare stuff, today is such a day, and let's come to the last cream on this coldy Sunday and it's an unoffical compilation from Chaos Wrecords, released in an edition of 700 hand-numbered copies (I think in 1994) and this fourteen British Underground pieces are certainly not the best of UK punk & wave goodies (in my opinion) but it's another piece of countless bootlegs (it's good that they exist) and the song selection is not bad. I cannot say how I came across this series but it was worth and I bought this record via ebay. I love English punk and with the Disco Zombies and Crisis are two of my favorite bands on it, so bring it on. Of course required Volume 1 and a total of three slabs of this mini-serie were released to date and the last one follows then in 2022. Now enjoy the rest weekend with beautiful music, cold beer and other intoxicating means + the sun.

BRYGADA KRYZYS - s/t LP 1982

Brygada Kryzys (Crisis Brigade) or B.K. is one of the most important and influential Polish punk/rock reggae bands. The band was founded in 1981 by two well-known guitarist/vocalists from Warsaw, Robert Brylewski (formerly of the band Kryzys) and Tomasz Lipinski (from Tilt). This is the first album and the recordings were made between February and April 1982 in a studio in Warsaw. The Album is considered as the first officially record in Poland (....) with punk rock and new wave music. Appeared in the circulation of about 150.000 copies. It's understood that part of it has been directed to sell and has appeal because of the bold work of the team in the face of contemporary socio-political situation. Some critics, however, undermine the claim of milling of effort. The crisis in the music media poll for the best Polish post-war record came in second place. In March 1982 the recording company “Tonpress” opens a new studio in Warsaw’s Wawrzyszew district and begins looking for a band to test it. BK manager, Jacek Olechowski, suggests the group. Over a few days several songs were recorded and “Tonpress”, with hesitation, agrees to publish the record. The result is this awesome dark punk/wave record with nine melancholic punky tunes and I listen while I post this to Love A (the German punk band this hour, check their songs on youtube or whatever). - I'm in a very drunken constitution yet and all this info it stolen from fuckipedia. Anyway, this is a glorious record.

CRETINS - Live @ The Set-A-Lite 7'' 1987

The Cretins from Hanover are a German punk which I like a lot. Founded 1979 by M.O.F. Remmington (vox), Tier (drums), Trans Barbie (bass) and Hoss (guitars) and a few play also in Blut+Eisen. Their debut 7inch came out 1980 on No Fun Records and is a damn cool record with three killer tracks, Heimkind is one of my favourite Cretins songs. No wonder this cracker was re-released in 2005 with three live cuts (No Fun Festival 1980) on the b-side. After the release of the Keine Experimente II (a must have and coming soon!) compilation on Weird System the label put out a 10Inch called Man Between Walls in a limited edition of 1000 copies in 1985 and the bands sound goes more into a guitar rock direction but this not affects the punk factor. The last release is under the bandname is rare 7inch on Saturn Records and these two songs were recorded live January 1987 in Berlin @ the Quartier Latin through the Set-A-Lite concert and there exist also a video from this gig but I never see this elsewhere. Well, I will post soon their 10Inch and the Cretins changed then into Fun Fun Crisis and released a Mini-Album which is also great, Cheers, Donut! Well, the bands sound is really cool and I can't them throw away from my turntable. Enjoy this little rocket, the last for today, I leave home and ride to the stadium against Hertha BSC, for more three points!

V/A - Rat Music For Rat People Vol.2 1984

Well, the Bundesliga opener yesterday was a total flop, 0:5 after forty-five minutes, a brilliant performance in all areas, impressive. Bayern showed Frankfurt where the hammer is, and made it clear who wants to become Deutscher Meister. It will be difficult for any Bundesliga club to beat this team. Nevertheless, I'm sure that the SGE will play a good season. To the post: a decent compilation by CD Presents Ltd. is the second part of the mini Rat People serie. Eleven renowned bands of the Eighties with fourteen classics come to your house to tell you to keep an eye out for their records and to get your lame butt moving because those little flabs are telling you: no more convenience! Partly different versions than on their records make this delicacy an absolute listening and Pogo pleasure. And now breakfast.

V/A - Who's A Punk? 2013

Bit late today, but I had a little housework and had to rip a cool record, but now I'm ready to give you an example of another cool unofficial compilation and first, I think it's from the same detectives who create the Je Suis Punk record; same artwork, almost the same album title and the same stable packaging. I wouldn't say that the songs belong to the very best British punkies, but they are rare, partly unknown to me but that is exactly what made such slabs interesting for me and I'm always curious and happy when such records appear (difficult to keep track of the publication as they usually only appear in limited editions). I have no problem with bootlegs as long as they have a good presentation (a booklet/small insert would have been desirable here) and the selection of songs is largely not available elsewhere, that applies brilliantly on this record. If I award points on a maximum scale of 100, I would give a 90. Ten deduction because no information is included (except on the back). Is that enough for you?... I'm sure - ENJOY!

WARHEADS - Dagen Är Natt EP 1979

Killer band from Sweden and one of the best records I think and today a very sought EP among the record fetishists. Warheads was a Swedish punk band, active from 1979 to 1981. It is often regarded as one of the more influential groups within the Swedish punk, despite not had time to give out any album. Several members continued in the 1980s in internationally renowned groups. Warheads are counted by some as a precursor to thrash metal. Before Warheads they called Mob (sometimes as Mob -77), whose founded 1976 at school in Stockholm, line-up consisted of Mats Cavonius (vox), Stellan Hemringe and Janne Oldeus (guitars), Thomas Biström (bass) and Peter Oman and "Bruppe" (drums). The band made itself felt in particular by Cavonius on a show, inspired by Iggy Pop, cut himself with a knife in the stomach. He also participated in a punk movie from 1978 by Stig Larsson (his thesis about the Dramatic Institute). In 1978 Biström leave the band and was replaced by Björne Fröberg (later in The Nomads) on bass. The band changed its name to Aoouh! They recorded a few songs but neither the band managed to record a record and Cavonius left and Pelle Almgren become the new singer. Once again the group changed its name to the Warheads. Finally in 1979 they put out their only record via RIP Records (P-Nissarna + Brända Barn) and the EP is a damn classic with four brilliant catchy goodies  which gave the group a certain reputation also outside Stockholm. In 1980 they participated on the compilation Let It Out on Adventure Records.

Warheads played some concerts in Stockholm, but soon began to crack at the seams. In 1981 Almgren left Warheads and that was the end. Almgren went on to found the glam rock band Easy Action, Fröberg became a member of the Nomads. A group of Swedish musicians from bands Maryslim, Backyard Babies, Hellacopters and The Maggots, who called themselves Urrke T & The Midlife Crisis, gave in 2004 out a 3 track single with covers of old Swedish punk songs, including Aoouh! / Warheads "Center Of Lies ". Enjoy!

ULSTER - M-19 EP 1995

Rough, aggressive and absolutely true, Ulster lived for two years rehearsing and playing in São Paulo's most obscure ghettos. They left the shadow of anarchy wherever they passed, with extremely fast and distorted music along with a unique look. Some facts from the long unfortunately deactivated KFTH archive: "In 1979, São Paulo's ABC region was Brazil's largest industrial complex, employing thousands of metallurgists. At the same time, there appeared the first signs of a huge social crisis that would shake the structure of the country. The Brazilian Detroit produced not only strikes and unemployment, but also insurrection in several cultural fields - specifically in the music scene which drew its inspiration from the European and American punk movement. The first crop of punk bands had no technological resources, only their dissatisfied scream. Ulster were one of these first bands to give back to the system its own aggression with visual and sonic violence.

In the end of 1979, in the industrial shed of São Bernardo do Campo, Ulster was born, with Betão (drums), Vladi (bass), Luiz (also in Brigada do Ódio and Olho Seco) on guitar and Mauro (vocals). The sound was fast and noisy, energetic and compelling, with direct influences of early '80s punk, such as Discharge, Disorder, etc. The name was inspired by the terrorists of the IRA (Irish Republican Army), who fought battles in the streets of Ulster, Ireland. As a result, the lyrics they wrote were quite provocative and many of them dealt with acts of terrorism, such as the songs "M-19," "Bandeiras Vermelhas" ("Red Flags"), "Morte Aos Velhos," etc."This EP has five songs from their 1982 demo and they don't show sound quality, they show rebellion in its more pure and real state.

ROTTERS - 78 French Punk EP 2016

Before I clean the windows again, every three years, first a little forgotten piece of rediscovered, with The Rotters, a punk rock group from Villefranche Sur Saône, near Lyon. They released a 7Inch in 1978 which has become almost impossible to find today. Here it is reissued, the two original tracks "Synthemar" and "Faut Pas Flipper", plus two new tracks "Tout Oublié" and "Trop Tard". These last two songs were part of an entire band but unfortunately lost... The original single was released in 1978 and not in 1979, even late 1977 because during their first concert "We already knew how to play for January 1978 while for the record, we were recorded on a tape recorder in a rotten room, we didn't even know what we were doing!" On the original cover there are only three because "we had no other photos than this at that time...". Leader Jacques Mercier has nothing to do with the member of Crisis Dynasty. This reissue of 500 copies offers three different visuals, a 180gr A3 folding paper pocket with a few photo variants and around fifteen fake badges in different colors. Four chansons that would also cause a sensation in the twenties.

V/A - Nos Années Punk 1977-1980 [2002]

Last X-Mas post and it's an interesting Compilation which was released in 2002, and this Sucker compiles both sides of previous singles from renowned French combos at the heyday of fresh, rough and awesome music. Most of them are probably familiar to you because the original 7Inches are in the blog and many are also represented on other comps. You see, the sell-out continue again and again and again...... I mean, it's okay but always the same songs is a bit boring, but what do I know? This part comes with detailed informations, but unfortunately only in French. Well, apparently only intended for the local Punkrocker. Whatever, the music speaks the language that everyone understands and overall it's a good one.

THE STRAPS - s/t LP 1982

Very good debut album on Cyclops Records by The Straps, a streetpunk combo which were formed 1978 in Battersea/South London by vocalist John Grant and guitarist Dave Reeves. A bit info from wiki: The band played their first gig at the Park Tavern in Streatham on 28 September 1978 with U.K.SUBS, the Tickets and Security Risk. Their original bassist, Green, died of a heroin overdose shortly after the first show and was temporarily replaced on bass by Grant's roommate, Andi Sex Gang, for a show at the Latchmere Pub in Battersea. Stan Stammers, former Epileptics bassist, joined in 1979 and guitarist Steve MacIntosh was replaced by Andy "Heed" Forbes. Drummers in this period included Luke Rendle (previously of Crisis) and the short-lived member Cliff. Stammers and Rendle left to join the Pack, who turned into Theatre Of Hate, while Forbes left to join the WallThe Straps enjoyed a cult following around London, and performed alongside the Damned on their 1980 Black Album tour, as well as Sham 69 and Stiff Little Fingers, before splitting in 1983. They reformed in 1991 for a one-off gig at the Brixton Academy an 2012 for the ill-fated Last Jubilee and Punk by the Sea festivals, with a new lineup of Grant, Reeves, Davies and two new members: ex-Concrete Gods guitarist Phil McDermott and Morgellons bassist Mark Geraghty. In August 2013, the band released their third studio album, Brave New Anger and they're still rockin'.

UPRIGHT CITIZENS - Bombs Of Peace 1982

Not really new in Blogland but still a blast: the killer debut by Upright Citizens from the Ruhrpott, one of the first German punk combos with English lyrics. This little dittie was released 1982 and in 1985 they were the first German punk rock band to tour across the United Fuckin' States for six weeks. These years plus the early 1990s were the most successful in the twenty-two year history of the band. In addition to the release of various sound carriers, Upright Citizens earned the reputation of a terrific live act, which they also proved as “special guests” of punk greats that time. Bombs Of Peace was via H'art Musik released and line-up were Anton (vocals), Uli (guitars), Crocker (bass), Mario (drums) and is an absolute classic consisting of nine tracks that already swept everything away back then. A short review: "Nine songs from this German group, mostly sung in English and sounding very English, too (ca. ’79-’80). They even do a cover of Crisis’ “Holocaust.” The lyrics are great and the material is fine and dandy. An excellent debut!" (Tim Yohannan, MMR Nov/Dec. 1982) - I own their brilliant album "Open Eyes, Open Ears, Brains To Think And A Mouth To Speak!!!" from 1985 which contains some older songs new recorded and is one of the best records in this country. Also found on numerous most important compilations of the 80s, their music is still remarkably fresh and fantastic. A must-have for all lovers of good ole 80s hardcore punk!

TOY DOLLS - Fat Bob's Feet 1991

I think it's time for a record that makes clear: Don't take life too serious! Go through with humor and considering the stupid and uninspired crisis in Europe, this stuff is an excellent contribution to this. Bob's stinky feet is the eighth album by the Toy Dolls from Sunderland on Rebel Records and it's one of the more popular slabs by them and included such favourites Bitten By A Bed Bug, The Sphinx Stinks or Kids In Tyne & Wear (a beautiful cover of the Kim Wilde classic), one most often covered songs by many Punk combos. This album is a rare late Toy Dolls album that doesn't contain any classic/symphony instrumental adaptation. Fourteen fresh decent songs have Olga & Co. created here who just are fun and show how essnetial music can be and I must admit, the first full length I've heard by them. I always thought they were too funny for me, but in times like these is this album a welcome alternative.

UPRIGHT CITIZENS - Open Eyes, Open Ears, Brains To Think & A Mouth To Speak!!! 1985

One of my favorite records is the following slab by the Upright Citizens and was recorded and mixed during the month of Feb. & Sep. '84 and Feb., April & May 1985 in Zero Green Studio, Essen. Resulted is this record in co-production with 'Better Youth Organization'. Also released by the band itself, limited edition in clear blue, the rest in black vinyl (my copy). Most of the tracks were already released on previous records, however almost all are either new recorded or at least remixed. Engineer was Walter Fux, with which we have mixed together. Cover artwork for the idea and we stand responsible. And also all texts and the total music comes from us except for "Holocaust" (CRISIS).

The first line-up consisted of Anton (vox+guitar), Uli (guitar), Cracker (bass) and Mario (drums). In 1989 the line-up and the musical line changed - with Alex (drums) and Chris (guitar), today members of the mopedgang or at Eisenpimmel, new influences came into the band. The songs changed, away from the fast political hardcore punk towards a sound and become more metal and I would not tell this punk anymore. The stage show of Upright Citizens were often compared with the Social Distortion, well I don't give a shit about those who wrote that.

In spring 2003, Upright Citizens gave their last concert on board a chartered excursion steamer on the Rhine. I can say, Upright Citizens are one of the best German punk bands whose records (early) are all absolute classics. Very rough and with brilliant lyrics, the gents stand out clearly from all of the incompetents and Pseudo punk bands in this country which not even understand the meaning behind it. Must have!!!

STARSHOOTER - Get Baque 7'' 1978

Rare two-side-Killer from Starshooter, a French rock band made up of Kent Hutchinson (guitar & vocals), Jello (guitar), Mickey Snack (bass) and Phil Pressing (drums). Founded around 1975 in Lyon as the Scooters. In fact this title was registered after the first album under a pseudonym for simple contract issues. After a number of concerts (with the Damned or Jacques Higelin for example), the band signed with EMI. In 1977 the first record leaves in the tread: Pin-Up Blonde/What Crisis, Baby. One Year later the output of Get Baque, their second 45 laps a stir. It must be said that the version of the famous Beatles classic is fairly irreverent and thwarts their record company, which also owns the Beatles catalog in. So the 7inch was removed from sale after a week. Even though the record is an absolute must as you find out.
