V/A - Crack! Gozira Records 1978-1979

Today an interesting compilation from Japan and on this record it goes not wild and brutal, as we know it from the Punk bands there. Released via Gozira Records/Telegraph Records in 1983 and also numerous booted, this vinyl shows the new wave/punk side of the islanders and all of them have at least one single out which is difficult to get nowadays in Europe and overseas, small editions I think and therefore you had to be at a gig to get a record. Hence a nice idea from the label to release this famous record in the early 80s. I enjoy this slab very much and hope you will too. That's it for today from the sunny, frosty Hessenland!

R.I.P. - No Te Muevas! 1987

To linger in southern Europe we meet R.I.P. a punk band from the Basque Country, exactly from Mondragon, one of the first punk bands that existed in the Iberian Peninsula: they are considered one of the most influential bands in punk and hardcore from Spain. Originally founded as Double Zero in 1980 by the Bolinaga brothers, joined with Portu as first singer. Then in 1981 Mallabi comes as fixed singer and so continued for two years doing various shows. Mallabi was doin' his compulsory military service and was temporarily replaced by the band's manager, Karlos "Muhammad" Agirreurreta, who after a fight with Mallabi, when he returned, became the definitive singer of the band, and they consolidated as such to the final formation -Jul, Txerra, Portu and Karlos were redefined as RIP.

Since 1983, the group produced independently several cassettes with live concerts in order to portray the shows of the band as it were, until 1984, the label Spansuls Records published the Zona Especial Norte 12'', a split EP with Eskorbuto. In 1985, RIP participated as first band in the Basque Rock festival in Barcelona on 29 November. In 1987, they released their only album No Te Muevas! (Don't Move!), on Discos Suicidas. Soon after, they separated in 1988 because of internal differences, but occasionally met, as happened in 1991 to the surprise of many, a music festival organized by Arrasate Press, in the town of Mondragon.

Finally, in September 1994, they had a reunion concert, which was followed by their 2nd record called HIESari Aurre Egiten!! which in Castilian means "Facing AIDS Live", with almost all the songs fromt the first album plus versions of British groups. In February 1997, unexpectedly died bassist Portu. He was replaced by his brother Xabi, who was commissioned to play concerts until the breakup of the band. Later, he joined the group Gatillazo. They contributed a song for the Eskorbuto tribute compilation Tren Con Destino Al Infierno in 2000. More songs were released on various compilations. In 2002, the brothers formed in July with Evaristo and Jon Zubiaga The Kagas, which published a single album titled New Rock Heroes. In 2003, Karlos & Txerra participated in the documentary Música En Las Venas but unfortunately Karlos died in October at age 44 and the group was history. November 15, 2014, died Yul Bolinaga (former guitarist), when collapsing on stage during a concert with The Potes.

That's the story so far with unfortunately a sad end. We sincerely the deceased with a loud "Haut Rein Ey!" and enjoy finest Spanish punk rock!!

V/A - Shakedown! Original Brisbane Punk 1978-83

Pooh, a sleepless night behind me and a long nine hours day ahead. I'm a little exhausted, yesterday was a pleasant and sunny day with lots of alcohol and surprises that makes me partly speechless. Well, we'd better come to the next post and this was requested by some of you. Dropkick Records released this cool compilation in 2003 with five bands from Brisbane. All their rare 7inches are thereon which they put out on the Brisbane labels Savage Music and Shake Music. Consistently great stuff except the Just Urbain songs are not mine but the order is chosen carefully so they slip the way through. I would rather stay in bed and cuddle a little.

DIE ANGST - Die Angst In Euch Ist Die Angst In Uns 2012

The following band is always a welcome guest in my theater. 3 out of 26 reasons a) we're talking about Die Angst from Rathenow and one of my faves, b) their powerful, sombre music turns me on with its driving dynamic extra long elegiac bass runs, scrappy 80s guitars and refreshing heaviness, that's the sound that keeps me awake, and c) a new 7inch is coming out these days on their own Moon Records label (order/listen now via bandcamp) with two crackers in the typical Angst style. On this superb six track mini CD are Seve (vocals/bass), Kilian (vocals/guitars) and Jensen (drums) making music... splendid music. The only thing I have to complain: the slabs are too short. I've barely arrived and after thirty minutes the journey is already over. I mean, it's different with a hardcore record because of the number of tracks, after that I'm inspired and it's good. With the Brandenburgers I'm on my trip in the middle of nowhere and waiting for the bus, you know what I mean? 'ZackBumBäng' - Well, I'll get in again. Enjoy all the wafts of fog and don't miss the next episode when it says again: Mommy, I don't have a bus ticket!
