THE DETONATORS - Balls To You 1989

I'm happy to see some more tips and after the exciting game day yesterday, the tournament will hopefully continue relaxed, but enough football. - High Energy Sound now from the Detonators, a hardworking, long-running, prolific and vastly underrated band. That sums up the career of the Detonators, who began in California in the mid-1980s but inexplicably decided to move to Eugene, a sleepy nest in Oregon, maybe they wanted a challenge. The band considers Balls To You as their best effort. They create hand-crafted fine, memorable dynamic smasher with a good dose hardcore, strong guitar riffs and simple vocal lines but each song is uniquely its own. This album shakes your balls properly through and Bruce (vocals/guitar), Juan (guitars), Bryson (bass), Scott (drums) are merciles. Compare the record to their Billion Dollar Nazis EP from 1991 and you will know what I mean. Now an appetizing tuna fillet and then guggn what England brings.

THE DETONATORS - Billion Dollar Nazis EP 1991

Great four track EP by the Detonators, formed 1979 by Bruce Hartnell & Juan Camacho in Redondo Beach, California, to participate in the emerging hardcore punk rock scene that was exploding in southern California at the time. Just out of high school, the two life-long friends played various parties and gigs with numerous drummers as punk rock was still fairly frowned upon by most musicians, and finding a drummer willing to stick around long enough to allow the band to build an audience what quite a task in itself. Korky Ollerton joined on drums in 1981, and with Hartnell on bass, and Camacho on guitar, the band took to putting and advertisement in a L.A. weekly paper, “The Recycler”, for a vocalist. Mike Mooney passed the audition, and with his inclusion, the band set off work on material that was to become their first album “Emergency Broadcast Systems”. This is just a little intro and you can read their full story via soundclick and not unimportant as well: the needful Smelling Just Another Bad Breath compilation from 1986.

V/A - Kiss This! [Special] 2016

The 930th post belongs again to a superb selfmade compilation which I made in August but there wasn't enough time to post it before because my flight was very early and I was almost too late. Once again my heartfelt thx to all who send me awesome and rare music, particularly Fredrik, Reinhard, François, Nolti and Drago, and without your help this would't possible. Brings me always joy to sit then here and put the nuggets into one BlastKillerLullaby, also with the artwork.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland 1998

Rare to find is Volume I of the Northern Ireland Area and this record is more in a pop/mod taste as punk goodies. And this is damn cool stuff. I posted this on my old Blog and I remember there were still numerous downloads. Well, logo that I must do it again. Even more sound from the small tip of Ireland can find on Belfast Rock, which also kicks. This volume in the Bloodstains series is a definite stand-out.

V/A - Going Nowhere Slow 1990

Another pearl is this international punk compilation. Released on the legendary german punk label Double A Records in 1990, the vinyl is marble red & yellow transparent and the bands on it are all incredible. Reiner uses his contacts to invite the bands to be part of this comp and this is one I can listen to everytime. Never boring spray all 17 songs an amazing power to me immediately straight into my heart. The successful mix of hardcore & melodic punk rock shows how many great bands were alive around the world. That's why I love such platters like these and I enjoy to listen to again & again. I think, this is the meaning of compilations at all. So if you love a varied sound grap fast and shake your ass.

V/A - Belfast Rock 1978

One more superb compilation here and this time we head to Northern Ireland and see what's going on there at the end of the 70s. From this small part of Ireland came a number of very good Punk & Powerpop bands and their singles are nowadays extreme rare and highly coveted by collectors (It's no different with this album). A few months ago I posted the first Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland record which is damn good and more punk you know. After listen I thought I have more stuff from this area and I find this goodie and since I have ripped the plate several months ago so it could appear here. Released via Rip Off Records shows this stuff a good mix of pretty decent guitar sounds, partially published as 7inches. The only deficit: no info sheet but we live in modern times so visit irishrock for details about the bands. In 1980 the label Shock Rock released another compilation called simply Belfast which is also great. That's all from me for today, wanna move to bed now, tomorrow is another hard working day!

V/A - Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland #2 1998

Northern Ireland's underground music is not only populated with good punk bands, foremost known primarily for excellent powerpop stuff and this Bloodstains compilation proves this clearly with seventeen varied melodic goodies. As on Volume 1 a first-rate picking and this record was hard to get, believe me, and kicks the gray November Saturday full in the ass, I hate such days (must be in the sun....immediately). Anyway, enjoy the weekend and start with this sound!

V/A - Smelling Just Another Bad Breath 1986

The third release from Double A Records is this fine goodie. The label owner was always searching for bands around the world and so they sent plenty of material to Germany and the result shows this strong international compilation. A healthy dose of exclusive songs in a decent packing. I remember that I had to sell the record for lack of money, but I could take it again on a record fair, unfortunately without the booklet. Naja, es gibt schlimmeres! Have fun with this.

STHLM UNITED - Då Vi Var Punx 2004

Fuck, no package today... that gives me the opportunity to snip new files. Now a very interesting combo from Stockholm and this is their only album which they released on their own. Sthlm United were 19 (vocals), DP (bass/guitars/vocals), Manne (drums) and their sound is definitely influenced by 80's UK bands. Outstanding cover versions of G.B.H and the Clash are in addition to seven varied own pieces. Musically, they move between decent mid-tempo numbers and a bit ska, the songs are almost too long with nearly three minutes, but never become boring. There's not much information about the band and the addresses in the booklet are apparently already history. Anyway, this is a solid CD with nine Swedish detonators.

- Great Thx to Fredrik -
