JOHNNY CONCRETE - Come With... EP 1980

Explosive five track EP on Dandelion Records by Johnny Concrete which consisted of Johnny (vocals), Michael & Jan (guitars), S. E. Frogg (bass), Claus (drums) and this record is one of the best releases from Denmark. Every song is a real KBD cracker and shortly after the release the band broke up and Johnny formed Dream Police, who continued to wrote very good songs and made a few records (six to date), but didn't get the rough and powerful sound of this slab, but still worth listening to, and I reckon a twenty song album would be very much sought nowadays. Well, those words say it all, also the Compilations the boys are on should be part of any decent record collection. Do yourself a favour & spend a short time with Johnny.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Denmark 1997

This was my first Bloodstains compi I bought back in 1997. Denmark is a very small country and there's only been a good handful of records being released over the magic years from 1978 - 1982. Most of them are surprisingly good as well as impossible to find nowadays. So reason enough for another fine compilation with unknown rare classics from the old days. A good half of the whole early Danish punk releases has been put out by Irmgard, the most important independent label at that time. Maybe the only one too. The complete label name reads "Irmgardzweimalnebendrittenscheissenplattenbrechtenihredinger". So now you all know. Note there are 25 Cuts on the LP and not 24, Song #9 is also taken from the legendary 'Concert Of The Moment' Live LP. There are many copies from this slab in the net but I was not content with those rips so I do it by myself, hope you enjoy it. All cover artwork included and now let the old days come in.

DEFORMED - Gas Atttack! Without Warning! [Tape] 1982

Now an interesting trio from Århus with a short lifespan, just over a year 1981-2, and Deformed was the baby baptized. They only played a handful of gigs in Århus & Copenhagen. The line-up consisted of Kim (vocals/bass), Bjørn (guitars), Johnny (drums). This tape is their only release and Gas Attack! comes out twice, the second edition has four more songs than this version, why? I don't know and it doesn't matter either; fact is, the three play in a refreshing league of melodic songs that almost lead to the Post-Punk fraction, but also contain short numbers and the whole thing is very varied and surprisingly homogeneous. In 2022 a Compilation (...What Never Was...) was released through No Århus Records that deserves a mention and I need to hear this record, also important to say that drummer Johnny is none other than Johnny Concrete who whipped up a fabulous EP (Come With & I must post this goodie soon) in 1984 and is the only permanent member of Dream Police since the beginning. You'll see, in Deformed is enough potential and definitely not a fart in the Danish subculture and I'm sure their music will turn you on as much as me.

V/A - Kick Your Mama's Ass 1996

OK Leute, now we meet a fantastic bootleg which is peppered with eighteen raw and furious punk nuggets from around the world and a label called Reverendo Moon Records from Italy, certainly another synonym for an KBD maniac, pressed this compilation in an edition of 500 copies to the surface. Excellent mix of songs which mark the punk sound between 1977-1981 and you can say what you want: The music was at that time simply better and I wish I had been part of it. Well, no matter. All infos written on the back cover, superb record, let the drugs flow into your brain!

DREAM POLICE - In Combat EP 1986

Well this rare piece of wax was for a long time on my Wanted-List and I don't know who sent this in but many many thx: Dream Police was established 1978 in Århus/Denmark. At that time, the band was under heavy influence of the english punk scene, two tracks on the Pære Punk compilation from 1979 include the punkiest songs the band has ever released under the name Dream Police. During the years members have been in and out, but Johnny Concrete seems to be the holder of the spirit. The band has adjusted to styles over the years, and some of the material has a more heavy metal style. The sound of today is more hybrid agressive, and you might see them live in Denmark. Overall, the band released three EP's and their debut 12'' called "Demise" from 1981. They're present on further compilations, noteworthy is the Hardcore Vol.1 on Starving Missile from 1988 with their fantastic song 'Rudolf Hess'. So all four songs are okay and even if they're very heavy metal the band have their roots in punk rock. Green vinyl on No Aarhus Records, megarare and now in the right place.
