V/A - We Can Do Whatever We Want 1986

Hui, now it becomes more violent with this damn compilation released via BC Tapes & Records, no idea if this is first as a tape comin' out, does not really matter. Excellent hardcore stuff, mostly bands from Italy present and they bang everything neatly in two. But also the rest mercilessly attacks the heart and catapults the pulse upwards. Twenty-nine nuggets, somewhere pressed on the bands records but many only here banned, too bad the insert is a bit poor. 1700 copies pressed on black vinyl (this version). 300 copies were pressed on blue vinyl for mailorder. Egal, this record was also licensed in red vinyl by the Munich label Starving Missile in the same year with one extra dick.

PEGGIO PUNX - Cattivi Maestri 1989

Kick the sickness away with the Peggio Punx, a hardcore punk group from Alessandria (a small city in the north of Italy) & they were active from 1982-1989. Named as "Peggio Punk" and quick become "Peggio Punx" and the band was notable for the often experimental music (in the first distorted guitar album "type mandolin, until the very last pieces away from the canons punk - hardcore), and for working hard and reflective lyrics, words openly sympathetic to the current self far-left 'workers autonomy' that make them one of the most politically punk decided and deployed the entire Italian scene. In the early eighties very popular in the Italian scene, active incident to the social self "Subbuglio" of Alessandria and participating in numerous concerts, alongside bands like Wretched, CCM, Raw Power, etc., around the occupied social centers peninsula. Their self-produced discs are in the full spirit of DIY punk admittedly more "busy". It was recently reprinted a collection containing their discography, and also thanks to this reissue even worse now Punx are one of punk/hardcore Italian most popular ever.

SHOTGUN SOLUTION - Shotgun EP 1983

Nice little 7Inch by this band from Rome with four wild & angry shotguns, released via High Rise and this record is all they made on vinyl. Singer Valter is in my opinion a 'softer' type of Raw Power's Mauro but don't worry, hier wird ordentlich aufgedreht. Shotgun Solution opened for the Dead Kennedys in their show in Rome in 1982 and were Valter (vox), Stefano (guitar), Alberto (drums) and Pierpaolo (bass). RaveUp Records released in 2016 a repro (350 copies) called "1983" with one unreleased track. That's it, I'm tired again and in four hours the night's over.

BOSKOPS - Sol 12 1983

Finest raw trashpunk by the Boskops from Hanover. Here's their awesome debut album with twenty-two killers. I remember after the first listen I was blowin' away by this energy & rage sound and the offensive lyrics, it's still fun listen again to them after all this years. The Boskops are a further band of my own early punk days and one of the best in Germany these days. The band founded between 1982 and 1983. Most of the members knew each other from the Hanoverian punk band Blitzkrieg. In 1983 they released Sol 12 on Frostschutz Records (unfortunately the record label got ruined shortly after the release). The brutality and speed of their songs made Boskops quite well known in the punk underground. In the same line-up they recorded later their second album Lauschgift, which was a bit slower but nevertheless with power and hardness. The participation on the We Don't Need Nuclear Force and the Hardcore Vol.1 compilations made Boskops known internationally. In 1988 the third album F.E.D.I.A. was released as a self-production with distinctly metallic elements, 1991 the last album Non Plus Ultra. End of the 1990s, the band broke up. A.M. Music published in the 90's all albums each a double pack on CD. Recordings from the never finished fifth album released in 2000 on the third BRD Punk Terror-Sampler Compilation on Nasty Vinyl. A German classic noble record and a fuckin' must have!!!

MICKEYMAN & EXTREM - Split LP 1983

The first release of this ultra-rare original Austrian pressing from 1983 shows the debut of two bands from Vienna. Now an extremely cool song from an extremely cool band: "Fress'n, Sauf'n, Scheiss'n, Prunz'n" is the ultimate rejection to the Austrian philistines with their 40-hour week, the obligatory television evening after work and the drunkexcesses around the corner. Austria needs to burn, all right? EXTREM founded already in the summer of 1979 in Vienna and went through a short time with some line-up changes, and Mickey Kodak, alias MICKEYMAN took them and recorded a split LP on their label Rebel. Recorded in July 1983 in the Gaga, the result was probably the harshest and toughest punkrock publication, which had until then spit the steak paradise to light. Oaschloch-Rhetoric in crude Viennese, jagged hardcore punk guitars and drums beating high-speed at the door to madness and say Serwas! I'm ahead of my time..' MICKEYMAN took them and recorded a split LP on his label Rebel. The American punk Magazine "Maximum Rock-N-Roll" reviews: The Extrem side is extreme! Raucous cycloning mayhem from Austria, enough driving power and insistent quickness to hurl you into a venture mega-speed craziness. Savage guitar grinds charge out a brutal slaughter of aggression and combustion, crammed into a wild seizure of raw energy. Extrem escalate with each zooming slice. Mickeyman is Austrian reggae done well, and their punk song is basic and humorous. Don't miss this album! - the Extrem stuff is drastic plastic. - Pushead (from Maximum Rocknroll #14, June 1984) - No wonder he invited them to contribute a song to his now legendary Cleanse The Bacteria compilation in 1985 and this was the first time that an Austrian punk band was released in the U.S. - In 1991 they changed their band name in EAT LEAD and disbanded at the end of the year, finally!

VENOM - From Hell To The Unknown 1985

One favourite band in my metal days were Venom, pioneers of the so-called Black Metal style, and their first two albums are excellent. Snotty hard sound and somehow untypical for this genre I mean. The roots of punk are unmistakably, listen to 'Bursting Out' or 'Live Like An Angel' for example also 'Buried Alive' is extreme cool. Since 1979 alive Venom released a lot of records and I lost interest with the 'Calm Before The Storm' album and of course my passion for punkrock. This double album came out on Raw Power records, record one is the debut Welcome To Hell and number two is rare stuff, including live recordings. Enjoy the sound of the original inventers and founders of Black Fuckin' Metal!

CRASH - Fight For Your Life EP 1982

This is the first record by England's Punk/Oi Band Crash which was released without a sleeve. And you may should known them from the split EP with Crux on No Future Records which contains the four same songs. The British man's sound are four typical early UK punk cracker at its finest. Fast, raw, a dirty sound, also everything what a punk rock heart desires. I think that these songs are all what they have released. It's a shame because they have hardness and power and can deal with all the other great early UK bands at that time. Fuck It!, brilliant sound to fight against the gray winter depression.

NEGAZIONE - Venlo/Bauwagenplatz 27.04.1985

Negazione is a hardcore punk band based in Turin, Italy during the 80's and early 90's. Formed in 1983, they were one of the most important band for the hardcore punk scene in Italy at the time. They were one of the early bands of the Italian hardcore punk scene, like Raw Power, Wretched, Declino & Indigesti. Negazione broke up in 1992, their last show being at that year's Monsters of Rock (?) festival. They are still remembered as hardcore legends by many not just in Italy, but also world-wide. This Bootleg is a fuckin' killer, a MUST for every Hardcore fan. Seventeen fast and raw trashers in thirty minutes in an amazing quality. If you don't get this then you're definitely on the wrong blog!!!!

V/A - Let's Get Pissed - It's Christmas 1984

Solid compilation on Cult Records, 1000 copies with no American bands. A final worthy contribution to Christmas 2015. Strictly speaking I wanted nothing to post on these holidays but the music is very good, the record rare and it's freshly arrived and today is the last holiday therefore it's okay. Tonight the hardcore legends from Raw Power visit Hanau and maybe I'm going there. So far so good, enjoy the rest of the evening and have yourself a drink!

LOS VIOLADORES - s/t LP 1983

Fantastic debut album by this legendary punk band from Argentina, Los Violadores. They deserve the full description which I lending from the essential kfth page: Despite its demographic size and socio–cultural importance in Latin America, and unlike Brazil, Mexico or Colombia, Argentina didn't produce many first rate hardcore and punk bands during the 80's. But still, Los Violadores are probably among the pioneers of Punk Rock in the area. Guitarist Hari B. formed Los Testiculos in Buenos Aires in 1978, while the military dictatorship (who ruled the country between 1976 – 1983) was at the peak of their power. The regime, that in a couple of years murdered more then 30.000 left wing activists (or that were suspected to be so), saw any act of non–conformity as potentially subversive, so obviously the first generation of Argentinian punks was very much underground. But they still managed to survive.

In 1980, Hari B., together with drummer Gramatica, changed their name to Los Violadores. Due to censorship, they were unable to publicly use the new "offensive" name for a while, so they ommitted just one letter and remained "Los Voladores" for the early show fliers. About a year later, they were joined by vocalist Pil Trafa and bassist Stuka. After one of the first shows with this line up, about 200 hundred persons were arrested and the band members were charged with "political disturbance", thus gaining public notoriety and making it clear that Punk was alive in Argentina. As they put it "We wanted to make something that was punk but still rooted in our reality. We didn't want to be part of the complacent Argentinian rock scene, which was silent during the dictatorship and thus partner for the atrocities". They were one of the few bands which refused to take part in a huge rock concert sponsored by the military dictatorship as part of the Falkland/ Malvinas war propaganda campaign, even though they were surprisingly invited to participate. Ironically, many of those who did appear there were actually self professed hippies, who probably saw punk as something "violent & fascistic". Los Violadores pointed at that hypocritical "hippy ideology" as their second main enemy after the military regime.

Also in 1982 they recorded their first (self titled) LP, which could only hit the streets in late 1983, after democratic elections took place. It was released by the Argentinian independent label Umbral and it includes 12 great tracks with excellent production. Unlike the raw, thrashy hardcore produced in neighboring Brazil, Los Violadores are more '77 influenced, althought with an updated sound, kinda like Generation X meets DOA.

After the return of democracy, Hari B, who thought that the main reason of existance for the band was to fight the dictators hip, quit. He played for a short time with Argentinian's Oi! pioneers Comando Suicida, long before they became full-fledged boneheads. In 1984, Los Violadores were asked to contribute a track for the now legendary P.E.A.C.E. compilation, being the sole representatives of Latin American punk among the 40+ other bands and maybe making a small name for themselves in the international punk community. In fact, Argentinian rock magazines reported that there was lots of interest in the band from Europe and that they sold thousands of copies in the "old world", but that seems pretty unlikely.

By then, they were already changing direction towards a more commercial one, something typical for many bands from the era. Their second mini album Y Ahora Que Pasa Eh? is definately more rock/pop influenced, but in my opinion still enjoyable. They kept playing until the early 90's and even after that, they reformed several times, but their output is totally irrelevant to these pages. Their old material was reissued on CD by the major they had signed with, but their first LP was bootlegged on vinyl a couple of years ago. (source: killfromtheheart)

V/A - Underground Rockers 2 1989

One of the best covers I think is made here on this compilation and I quote the liner-notes on the back cover which I can only agree: "Another bunch of UNDERGROUND ROCKERS bands who, outside of the fanzine network and for a few, the John Peel show, are totally ignored. The first "Underground Rockers" compilation saw The Instigators sing "Full Circle", a phrase that seems very suitable when you think about influences. A growing number of British bands are being influenced by the American "Hardcore" groups, whose sound has evolved from listening to the likes of The Ruts and Stiff Little Fingers. On this LP you'll find both bands who lean towards the U.S. Hardcore sound and others who favour the early sound of the British Punk bands. But who ever they listen to they refrain from straight copying, each strives for their own sound and style, with just a nod in the right direction of their musical preferences. As with the first volume, it's not important whether you'd give these bands the "Punk" or "Hardcore" tag, judge 'them on their songs, be they fast or slow and on their energy, excitement and power. They deserve to be heard. Many of these bands are finding that they're better received over in Europe. Countless tales of big crowds at gigs, friendly, appreciative people and good treatment all round. It's time we, in this country, stopped being so snobbish and started treating bands, be they British, American, European or whatever, with the respect they so rightly deserve." (Tony Suspect)

SCAVENGERS - Born To Bullshit 7'' 2002

This record is a fuckin' must have! Both tracks rip your heart off and it takes over 20 years the small label Raw Power Records released this superb single in an edition of only 200 copies. No idea why it took so long. Both tracks are real killer and I can promise you will be blast. Here's some info from wikipedia:

The Scavengers were a New Zealand punk band, formed in 1977. In 1979 they moved to Melbourne/Australia and became The Marching Girls in 1980. Formed at Auckland Technical Institute by Graphic Design students, Ken Cooke, Simon Monroe, Mike Simons and Marlon Hart as "The 1B Darlings" in 1976, the band was heavily influenced by British R&B, Glam Rock and '60s US Garage Rock. In 1977 they renamed themselves The Scavengers, gave themselves punk stage names (Cooke as Johnny Volume, Monroe as Des Truction, Simons as Mike Lezbian and Hart as Mal Icious), and their style mutated in the direction of the US Punk rock and pre-Punk Rock acts. Through much of 1977 they were, with The Suburban Reptiles, the only Punk bands in Auckland.

In June 1977, with The Suburban Reptiles and The Masochists, they played New Zealand's first major punk gig at Auckland University. During this time their repertoire was mostly covers but by early 1978 they had written a set of original tunes. In late 1977 bassist Hart left to be replaced by Brendan Perry, who performed under the stage name "Ronnie Recent". He later reappeared in The Stimulators. In March 1978 they began a residency at new Auckland Punk Club, Zwines. Soon after Simons left (inspiring their signature song "Mysterex"), and Perry moved to vocals. Two Scavengers tracks appear on the Ripper compilation AK79 and a posthumous album was released in 2003. Perry later formed Dead Can Dance and Monroe (aka Des Hefner) played briefly for The Birthday Party during the band's final tour of Australia and New Zealand. Monroe went on to play in a series of Melbourne-based acts including The Slaughtermen and Maurice Frawley. Both Cooke (Go Public and Daisy West) and Monroe are still working musicians in Melbourne.

The Scavengers were hugely influential in Auckland in the late seventies, inspiring a whole generation of young bands and their importance goes far beyond their few releases. They reformed in 2004 for a one off show in Auckland without Perry, and again at the AK79 reunion in 2008.

Both tracks were recorded 1978 and you can really feel the anger and the spirit of the early days of punk life and proves this feeling was not only in Europe or the USA alive. Get this!

V/A - Beach Blvd 1979

Posh Boy Records released this Orange County/California punk compilation in 1979 and it's full with classics. This album featured three bands and KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer picked up on the album and started playing tracks, making local stars of the Crowd, the Simpletones and Rik L Rik (real name Richard Brian Elerick, who sadly passed away in 2000). Rodney also wrote the notes for the back cover: "Our Suzy, a headbanger no more, has grabbed her board and headed towards the shore. Presenting The Crowd, Huntington Beach’s first and foremost surf-punk band, in their vinyl debut. The pride of Covina High, 18-year-old Rik L Rik, has of late sung lead for the now defunct F-Word ... If you wore out your copy of Raw Power, try “Meathouse” on for size. Rosemead’s own Simpletones have been labeled “The Village People of punk” by Slash magazine ... Included on Beach Blvd is the Simpletones’ first single “California.” I’m proud to say that I gave them their first airplay on KROQ." I can only recommend this record and in 2005 it was re-released by PoshBoy and I would thank unknowingly Deathburger Blog for words which I grab from there.
