V/A - Hurra For Norge #4 2008

Uncooked, wild, partly unpublished, rough and excellent material also offers the fourth outpouring from Svindel Records, whose mini-series Hurra For Norge takes us deeply into the fantastic Norwegian subculture and shows its diversity with thirty-four blasts from the period 1978-1988. The sound is variable as usual and many bands never saw the inside of a studio, several of the recordings are from live gigs and from rehearsal rooms, but in a good sound quality, I would say. Definitely interesting for all collectors and punkers who like the rare and rough, and those who like to discover new stuff. So friends, that's it for today. I slowly tune myself for the upcoming important match ⚽ against Leverkusen.

V/A - Hurra For Norge 2007

Hurra For Norge is a damn good series from Svindel Records and they compiled rare goodies from original live/demo tapes and vinyl of early norway punk, mostly in an edition of 500 copies. Overall, there are five issues released and all are outstanding and lovingly designed with all infos about the recordings/bands. I have four of them only this one not so I am very pleased that the Network Of Friends is intact. The artwork is unfortunately not there, maybe anyone send this in. Musically a punk firework with massive hits and further volumes will follow, guaranteed.

V/A - Hurra For Norge #3 2008

I am always enthusiastic about creators, no matter from which country, who dig up rare and hidden treasures and publish them, usually in a series, with a nice artwork, lots of infos and with passion. Svindel Records fulfills with Hurra For Norge all these criteria and unfortunately only on CD (each release would have to be made as a double album but I guess this was discarded for cost reasons) but that's okay with all the good amount of bands/songs, some with singles, others only with demos or live recordings. Volume III is full with Norsk Punk-Rock 1978-88 and if you don't act stupid you will find more volumes. And now off into the weekend!

V/A - Anarki & Kaos #2 2007

"Punk, Råråkk & Aggression - Archaeological excavations from the Norwegian underground 1978-1981", so briefly about the content of the second Anarki & Kaos compilation from Voices Of Wonder Records and this Silberling is full with rarities and classics. Comes in a decent artwork with much infos, but I don't understand why nobody came up with the idea to translate the whole thing into English... but with a short video which is apparently without sound, hmmmm.... frankly, I can't see any sense in it. Well, somehow I think this CD shouldn't go beyond Norway and is certainly very interesting for locals, but let's be not so critical; Fakt is: together with Volume 1, both provide an excellent insight of the subculture by this country of the early wild years.. Unfortunately only as CD available, but essential for all KBD friends... choose an indispensable listening experience!

Z-OFF - Første Singel 7'' 1981

Another classic Norwegian punkband is Z-Off which released their one and only Killer 7'' on Hansen Og Kompanjongers Plateforlag in 1981. May you might know them from the awesome Bloodstains Across Norway compilation (coming soon) and these two tracks here speak for themselves. Excellent '77 style punkrock, sung in native norwegian language and the boys shoot their two minutes cracker out and proving once again that it's not difficult to play punkrock with a high level. I love listen to this sound again & again. About the band I have no further infos so you have search by your own. The title 'Hurra For Norge' was used for the awesome sampler series on Svindel Records. So relax and start the fuckin' download.

AKUTT-80 - s/t EP 1980

First the Babbelstub is temporarily defunct and until I have a new one please use the comment section for requests or other questions. Now a rare nugget from my old Wanted-List is this record, as rare as the Niveau Null EP. Only eighty copies were pressed, self released and that's all info I have about this obscure Norwegian punk band. I think, all four songs are presumed recorded directly at their rehearsals to tape, at least they sound like this and I like that very well. Gruff, crude, dirty and pretty bumpy noises are fabricated by this four piece combo and this is why I'm love Punkrock! I look in the mirror and feelin' right and so this is the sound in my veins, you know... Amazing the pretty ballad 'Alta' which has a reggae/jazz touch (I think it's extraordinary) and with 'Prostituert' a superb melodic KBD firecracker finally. They featured on these two unknown compilations Bloodstains Across Norway and Hurra For Norge Vol.3 (both coming soon). Now That's all for now folks, maybe I'll come back tomorrow. Now continue with football, hope the SGE shoots the 1:1.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Norway 1997

Welcome to another nugget from my Bloodstains collection with twenty-four great rare blasts from Northern Europe: Norway. A fine country for a relaxing holiday with lots of hills forests and lakes and only very few people living in the countryside. I certainly don't have to tell you more about the bands, because those who know the series know what's inside: superb stuff whose originals are priceless and that's exactly why such slabs were born and the boom of those brilliant records has now died and even these releases are hard to come by nowadays. And with that I say goodbye to my well-deserved vacation. Stay decent and I hope you don't get any withdrawal symptoms. 😎

ØRESUS - Galt Et Sted EP 1981 + Mannen I Badekaret 7'' 1982

Øresus ("Tinnitus") started in Skien in 1980 with Frode Olsen on bass, Pål Lillefjære on guitar, Ragnar Khøn on drums and Jan Ove Lorentzen on guitar and vocals. They were soon the leading band in the Telemark area with their mixture of punk, rock and ska combined with crass lyrics about society at large, sung in a Greenland dialect. They released their EP Galt Et Sted ("There Is Something Wrong Someplace") in 1981 and they went on to win the local Championship of Rock the same year, but boycotted the finale in Oslo as a protest against greedy promoters. In 1982 they released the single Mannen I Badekaret ("The Man In The Bathtub") and the year after they released the LP Ansikt Til Ansikt ("Face To Face" & could anybody send this to me? - The band split in 1983 but will reunite for a short gig in March of 2003 to release a CD of their material." by Bård. - All in all six brilliant kbd killers with a tough tempo, a cool saxophone plus a cute ballad. Yeah!! Compilation: Hurra For Norge #2 – Ich habe durch!

OPPSLUTNING - Demos 1981-1982 [2010]

This interesting record is the demo recording from January 1982 by Oppslutning from Stavanger and it comes out at the beginning of the same year as self-released tape I guess. The band was formed of two disbanded bands Kortslutning and Oppspist (hence the name) and consisted of Jan (vocals), Erik (guitars), Otto (bass), Jone (drums) and didn't create anything on vinyl during their active time. Stavanger-Mandal International Records has remastered the piece and put fourteen cute chocolates on it, provided with a DIN-A insert (but only in Norwegian) and thus conjured up a worthy album of the four. Came in an edition of 300 hand numbered copies. Oppslutning have appeared on almost every Hurra For Norge compilation, Svindel Records' superb series released in the early 2000's. The sound is a bit old & simple and crackles almost monotonously, but the mastering of the moderate Oi!/Punk goodies was it worth and after twenty minutes the last groove is played.
