BROKEN TOYS - Dirt 1991

Before I waste my time today with ripping some records first a post. The Broken Toys from Boston play bubblegum-based punk rave-ups with so much raw energy and urgency that they vividly recall New York’s finest, the Ramones. Over the past ten years, The Broken Toys have released countless singles and cassettes, appeared on numerous LP and CD compilations and toured Europe no less than five times. Earlier this year, Broken Toys signed with the German label Incognito Records and Dirt, their thirteen-song debut, is crammed with hooky, guitar-driven ditties like “Control Myself,” “Nothing to Do,” and the sarcastic “I’m Aware You’re Perfect” Broken Toys’ melodic sense arid occasional use of harmonies make their best cuts not only infectious, but danceable. Melodic ‘77 Punk rock which sounds sometimes like the Ramones. These guys specialize in rockin’ three-chord punk with memorable choruses and raw performance and production values. Above average; has the added benefit of good energy and loads of sarcastic humor. Have they seen 1990 in Hamburg/Marquee and was thrilled. If you’re into '77 style, get this quick. You can’t go wrong.

GLAMOUR GHOULS - Top Of The World, Ma! 1990

One label I very recommend is the german Incognito Records, now based in Berlin, and I must say every release is 100% pure punkrock. I got a few records, some are post here and this record is another example for this great people. Here we have now six varied glam-punkrock pearls by a band from Darmstadt, which really has it, unfortunately long disbanded. Apart from the long out of print 333 x UP & DOWN 7", they left us with this mini-LP. The songs included such Killer tracks like "Roller Coaster" and "Saloon Horror" and the band were known by various samplers. Fast, raw, dirty, a great punk record and particularly successful the old Eddie Cochran classic "Summertime Blues" which blows the shit out of you!

JABBERWOCKY - We're Just Bom Bom Boys EP 1995

Well, the weather is still shitty, rain & rain & rain and I start today with this dutch garagepunk band from Vorstenbosch/Holland and members were Dirk and Edwin Timmers, Michel van Lanen and Patrick. Jabberwocky made several records between 1993 and 2000, toured Holland and Germany and played several times at the VPRO's Club Lek. Jabberwocky split up in 2000, but reunite in 2006 with new energy! This four track EP was part of the "333 x Up & Down" series of Incognito Records and was recorded at John's "Pink Noise Studio" in Eindhoven. Fast & catchy-trashy as fuck.

V/A - Break The Rules #8 1997

One more fuckin' awesome punk compilation with old farts now. Splitting from his partnership with Incognito Records, Peter P., who compiled the Back To Front compilations, started his own label, Insekten Records, to put out his new series, Break the Rules. The series picks up where Back To Front left off (with #7). This, like the others, is s greaat mix of early rough-edged punk as well as punk with a poppier edge. And like his other comps here is Volume #9), he's have the permission from the bands to use these songs. Like the KBD or Bloodstains series: this LP is a killer! Get it yet and good Morning!

V/A - Flops Of The Pops 1991

Ohhh, what a great evening I had, thanks to my friends (which was magic). Well, it's a tradition that a lot of punk record labels (mostly german, for example: AGR, Weird System, Double AA, etc...) use for their first publication a compilation LP. It shows in what direction the label goes & they prefer and what we, the users, can expect. Incognito Records put out their debut LP in 1991 and with bands from all over this planet. The label is known for their awesome '77 punkrock classics and they're always up for a surprise. As far as I know all these songs were not anywhere published and therefore this is plate a rare piece of round black vinyl, containing a 16-page booklet and at lasta pretty D.I.Y. cover. The eyes are satisfied and I promise you the music does too!

THE WAY - Give Me A Chance EP + Scheiss Kibarei EP + Fascist Scum MCD 1994

Here's a nice collection of Punk rock from Vienna and insider know that Bösling and Harry "The Herbert" already played together from 1979 to 1981 in the Vienna punk band Böslinge which made an awesome record in 1981. The Way were founded in 1990 and released a lot of tapes. In 1994 the german label Incognito Records bring out under the 333 x Up & Down series two knotless 7inches and the mini CD was released by the band themselves. Blaring out dirty '77 punk with a charmin' Viennese dialect as it should be, As always, slightly melancholic in traditional Viennese style. A real Gourmet Festival!!! In 1997 the band was history.

- Great Thx to Reinhard -
