V/A - A Kick Up The Arse Volume 1 1985

Splendid limited compilation from Rot Records and all tracks are unavailable elsewhere and the title can't be more appropriate. It starts with the Cult Maniax and one of their best songs, I think, Butcher increase the stroke rate with their snotty ones, Last Rites give Oi Oi Oi a fresh look and become addicted, External Menace find the blues in Vietnam, Picture Frame Seduction call for pogo with sulphate, Reality take speed out with a cuddle song with mad Harry, the Expelled give themselves with cider the full ecstasy and on the free 7Inch drawn the Enemy last but not least, a few images in eccentric cubic colors. Sixteen nuggets that will not cause boredom, Guaranteed!

PICTURE FRAME SEDUCTION - Hand Of The Rider 1985

Quarter-finals and today draw, let's see who is swept away next. Weekend is there and we start with the rare debut by Picture Frame Seduction, formed 1978 in Hardfordwest as The Frames, split up in 1987, reformed in 2003 and is still going. Band name taken from something Sid Vicious muttered before he died. Turned down offers from both No Future and Riot City Records so Rot Records was ready to release the album after one year of the I'm Good Enough (For Me) EP on SoSo. All in all, the sixteen lanterns kick well and I would say the typical UK punk sound we love all still moves my tired limbs, partly reminds me of G.B.H. Also featured on many cool compilations, A Kick Up The Arse, for example, is one of them. Enough blah blah, enjoy the break from the daily routine and till next week.

THE PARTISANS - Hysteria EP 2001

 

Now militant island stuff and something well-tried and you know I'm a lazy writer I quote a suitable one which I found in the web, written from back then: "If you are really into early UK Punk, chances are that you're a fan of the Pogo punx the Partisans. These guys are back together after thirteen years of silence, but with only two original members Spike on vocals and this time around on guitar also, and Lealand still on guitar. They're back with a new EP titled "Hysteria" via the American label TKO Records. The songs on this slab could have easily been on their second album The Time Was Right. The Partisans are still not afraid of showing their energetic clash influences instrumentally on all three tracks. The lyrics talk about how everyone else is making more money, and etc. (the usual from this band). All along this whole three song record will have you singing the tunes after just one listen for the rest of your life. You know you want this because this is just another great "Top" release by a classic band, so go grab your wallet and buy it, or if you're too "Punk" to buy it steal a copy. (Thx to Brett)" - In 2004 they released their last record and two years later the band toured the UK with fellow Welsh punk band Picture Frame Seduction and played the Punk & Disorderly festival 2007 in Berlin. No further plans are being made to play live, although on 27. November 2015 they opened for the Italian glam rockers Giuda @ Orion, a rock venue in Ciampino, a small town near Rome and maybe they'll come back with a bang, who knows.

V/A - Can You Hear Me? Music From The Deaf Club 1980

A decent live compilation by PVC Records/Gammon Records is this little record which was recorded at the legendary Deaf Club in San Francisco with local bands. The Deaf Club was a notable music venue located on Valencia Street for two years until closure in december 1980 and many cool bands performed there as you can see on the insert. Recorded on a mobile 8 track during early 1979 and it's a testament to the authentic underground punk and "new wave" scene during that period in San Francisco's music history.

V/A - I've Got Those... DEMO-LITION BLUES! 1983

Let's bring the hottest August in years to a dignified end with the next fantastic piece of wax and like yesterday's post, there's again a whopping boom of demos in form of eighteen previously unreleased young bands, ranging from catchy '77 Punk to cool Britpunk plus little decent Oi! sound, and it's all presented by Inƨane Records (a label run by members of the Insane that only released two records). Constant interesting listening pleasure, and certainly not only a must for raritiy collectors! Nice one!

V/A - What Are You Doing About That Hole In Your Head? 1986

I don't know about you, but the hysteria over the Corona Shit gets on my nerves. I think all the measures, curfew, protective mask, cancellations are exaggerated, who knows what the Chinese were doing? What is certain is that they have triggered a pandemic and the European Football Championship will probably not take place this summer. Is that just a flu infection that made a lot of people die in a short time? The old and the sick are quickly affected and many die of flu, but this is normal because their immune systems is weak and society buys like stupid, that only makes clear how hollow they are and rely on the government and I think this brilliant compilation from Rot Records fits: What Are You Doing About That Hole In Your Head? Seventeen international nuggets for you to clear your mind... stay vertical!
