V/A - Apocalypse Chaos 1982

Superb French Compilation from Chaos Productions with early and first recordings of bands that later became renowned and popular recordings, a stepping stone, so to speak. Although there are only twelve songs, they are surprisingly good and clearly show the potential of the bands and can be seen as a springboard. Very good mix from Oi! & Punk of the old days and there is nothing more to tell about it, dug up from my Harddrive. You see, it's taking a while until I post again, but life is taking me vehemently and maybe wdthtc will soon be over... I'm undecided... but I feel like I don't want to anymore... ma gugge!

KIDNAP - s/t EP 1996

The following combo hails from Blois and they were initially formed in 1977 under the name Acier, which was abandoned the following year, in 1978, in favor of Radiation. The members at the time were Hugues (vocals), Chicol (guitar), Mireille (bass) and Aldo (drums), aged around fifteen. They quickly attacked covers of the bands of the moment like the Sex Pistols, the Heartbreakers and the Clash. Saturday nights in an attic which served as a premises, and which very quickly transformed into a place where people came to drink and have fun. Mireille was replaced by Fabrice, and the band gave its first concerts. In 1979, Hugues left for the army, and was replaced temporarily, then permanently, by Fredo, a regular at the place. The formation was now consolidated, and the band, now renamed Kidnap, could finally devote itself to its career and 1991 the band disbanded. This nice EP was released via Euthanasie Records in an edition of 850 copies and all four songs were recorded in the late Eighties. Found on numerous essential Compilations. Superb!

V/A - Compilation EP 1984

Before I dedicate myself for a delicious breakfast we visit our neighbors in France and enjoy a decent EP compilation from Ripost Records with four bands on it which sprinkle a good pinch of Oi! sound. Opened by Skunx Offensive, a band from Orléans which only brought two songs to light, Kidnap already have more to offer, an album and a couple of singles and are probably the best known band on this slab. Disturb from Blois also don't have much am start, but in 2013 a compilation with SK NIX was released and contains all their eighties recordings. Last but not least, Töxik, also from Blois, and like the first band on this record they put only one song on vinyl. That's how it is written - All in all a very good release with powerful songs from bands that deserve more, at least now your attention.

V/A - France Profonde #1 2006

France Profonde was a mini-series and the first Compilation was originally released in 1984 by Banzai Records/A.P.P.R.A. Unfortunately I don't own this record and when I bought this re-release I didn't look carefully. I thought it had the same songs on it, but the CD contains not the whole old songs, which doesn't mean that it's necessarily worse, but the mix on it is different with either newly mixed versions and some with nineties material. Let's see if I can get the original slab at some point, or if one of you can send it to me. One thing is for sure: I won't be buying another volume from this label, CDs are SHIT!, but musically there's nothing to complain about, I love French Oi!/Punk and the cream of the crop is filled with plenty of attractive bands/songs. I give full marks for the music, but the poor, sad booklet loses points, absolutely no information is given apart from the recording dates. A real disgrace! But enough words, I am forced to start the backgammon tournament and so I say goodbye for today, buy new tickets for this theater today because the doors will be open again tomorrow. Santé!

MORGEN TEUER TÖTEN - Schluckauf Akut! [Tape] 2022

With the following post I contradict myself, what about old stuff, no... Now comes new music and those who have downloaded my Compilation Positive Energie 2 are one step ahead with a small impression of the current band. Morgen Teuer Töten is a Synth-Punk band from Berlin and this is their first output, a five track demo. There isn't much information about the band, line-up, etc... but we are listen to a female voice and I think there are three members in total. To date there is an EP, this tape and the current debut album was  released in October 2024 on Kidnap Music. And that's where some information comes from, because unfortunately I have nothing. The band brings everyday madness straight into your ears. With biting lyrics they pounce on the irrelevant trendy society until it's screaming in front of the supermarket checkout. Their songs are so catchy that you'll still be singing along to them in the shower after the concert - and so shameless that even the soap turns red. There's good music, there's shit music and there's Morgen Teuer Töten. Very good Nuggets in an acceptable PostPunk tangle.

V/A - Oi! The French Connection Vol.1 1997

I leave the stage today with this fine record which was pressed on marble vinyl from Boucherie Disc. The créme de la créme of french Oi!/Punk is here present and kickin' the street sound in your blood. All songs are taken from various records which had the bands released in the 80's and meantime hard to find. Quite good song selection with massive hits. One deficit: there is no information about the bands inside and I think for a small supplement should be the cash sufficient. Scheiß was drauf, das Wetter ist scheiße, nachher Umzug helfen mit lecker Essen, der Sonntag kann weitergehen. Coole Platte.
