D.O.A. - The Menace Lives 7'' 1982

Yet a rare record which is an unoffical one on Sudden Death Records and I don't think you need no further words for D.O.A., my favourite canadian punk band which exist since 1980 and they're still active. They celebrate excellent punk rock and their music is still even after thirty years rough and first league. Here two killer outtakes which did not make it on the first album Something Better Change, my guess. Last year I think or was ist 2015, I don't know it excatly, I finally saw them live and it was a fuckin' great experience. I have a few classics from Shithead & Co. which I would like to post soon if I'm not become a victim of a heart attack.

ABURADAKO - s/t EP 1983

Let's start February with a rare flexi from Aburadako, a long-running Japanese psychedelic Punk group, their name means "Greasy Octopus", which formed 1983. They began as a punk-hardcore band before moving in more avant-garde directions. They have released eight albums to date. A notable oddity is that none of Aburadako's albums have titles and are only distinguished by their packages. This is their first record on ADK Records with six weird typical smasher or simply said: This is Japan, not Boston!

THE DEFOLIANTS - Hang Ten EP 1987

Last post January and we join the States while we have fun with the new president. Is this real? Holy Shit, how long will it be until this era ends? Let us come to what is more pleasant: The Defoliants were a Chicago punk band from 1984 to 1990. They played a bunch of shows for that time, typically opening up for larger Chicago bands such as Naked Raygun. Formed in 1984 by Mather high school chums Rob Warmowski (bass & vocals) and Jeff “BBQ” Cohn (drums), adding Chuck Uchida on guitar soon after. The band were influenced by hardcore punk, surf/garage music and pop culture. They were known for a strong live show and a nerdy sense of humor, belting out a speedy hybrid of alien punk-pop mated with surfy instrumentals. This is the cool debut EP and within are two Agent Orange style surf punk instr., one good & fast, the other one slower. Next is a long, slow rock song (the only song on this record with vocals); the best song is Mass in a nice Minnesota/Hüskers/Replacements style. Their self-described finest moment was opening up for Fugazi at Dreamerz. Their music incorporated heavily from surf music, making their sound more unique than most of their contemporaries. The band released one cassette, one EP (this one on Pravda), one full length (“Grrr” via Angry Fish 1989) in five years together, making possibly forty songs.

RUSSIAN SUBMARINES - Snea Tankar EP 1983

This record is on my personal top of Swedish KBD releases and you know there's comin' a lot cool stuff from there. The Russian Submarines were from Gävle and formed by Jop Jop (drums), Micke (guitar), Frukten (guitar), Fritte (bass) and Pat-Erik Proletär (voice). The band follows a line characteristic sound of the early eighties, which involved in the '77 punk sound, the raw & dirty, heavy and spit direct in your face attitude which is necessary to fabricate ever decent tones. Snea Tankar was released in 1983 containing four songs produced by Claes Olson and distributed by Mamma Records. Available in four different colors: blue, red, green and yellow. Unfortunately, this is their only release but they featured on the rather unknown Pangkaka compilation. I guarantee 100% listening!

NO NAMES - Bullenterror EP 1981

A request from Hans and we move to Hagen and discover this German combo and get in touch with their rare & sole fuckin' record on Tonträger 58, a small label from Hagen which published only seven records, one is a very good compilation called Alles Aus Hagen (which I will post soon or is it already here?, tell me). Well No Names are there as well. This little sucker has four characteristic German punk goodies which are formative for the 80's sound, maybe a bit amateurish but still nice. OK, my computer fucks up right now so I'm not able to write more.

INJEKTION - När Kommer Jesus? EP 1985

A pretty nice rare EP came out in 1985 by this six piece from Gothenburg called Injektion which was released by LEM. Martin Nilsson (guitar & vox) joined the band after his other band Sötlimpa was finished. The last member changes was from a band called Brainless force. The band has never really stopped existing. So they had songs on the 'GBG Hardcore 81-85' and the 'Delirium Tremens Samlings' compilation which were also great. The music here is pretty powerful punk with distorted guitars and short songs and after seven minutes the noise is over. No Hardcore attacks just simply cool punkrock. A further proof of the Swedish punk rock scene which was not only from Stockholm. The band has more songs on some tape compilations. Start downloadin', enjoy and listen to this great effort.

PART TIME PUNX - Frauenhasser EP 1988

This rare record is my only one from the Part Time Punx, founded in a touch of boredom and grandeur in 1985. The first samples took place in the living rooms of their and other people's parents, but actually they almost never rehearsed. They are still and rightly the undisputed (unfortunately uncrowned) Schlagerpunk kings. In their songs are the likes for punkrock, NDW and English noise pop of the old school combined with the unmistakable trash charm of eternally puberty childrens heads. At home are the Part Time Punx in the area of Weilmünster (between Limburg and Giessen). So this third EP came out on Orgasm Records and offers three genious lo-fi gassenhauer.

STICK! - Binder Min Tid EP 1979

Last one for today and back to the late 70s and meet a quite unordinary band. Didn't really sound like other punkbands due to their unique instruments and originality in songwriting, Stick! were one of Swedens lenghtiest band with their average length of 193 centimetres. This three track EP is their debut record on Puzzel Records and it's fantastic. Here's the Sax perfect involved and gives the songs a charming undertone. I would buy it immediately, if you ask me. The last one starts with a short cool bass solo before the whole thing is becoming a real KBD cracker. Stick! has really a great sound and in 1980 they released their album Biomusik on Silence Records as Kai Martin & Stick! and the album is in my opinion much better as this 7Inch. In the 80s they released more records, played a lot of gigs and became famous, not only in Sweden. Their on many compilations and Ronny and Kai later started a band called Parade.

KREMLIN KONTINGENT- L.A.B. 7'' 1983

From the suburbs of Paris came this short-lived combo and they released theit only vinyl on Studio 1 and this three song EP is a solid street punk record. On these recordings were involved Polux (vox), Rusty (guitars) and Pascal (bass) and I would describe their sound as pretty sleek Oi! music. Not bad and they are one of those bands where I say a full length album would have been interesting, but it came differently, as so often in life. 'Svetlana', was used for the great compilation 1984: The First Sonic World War on New Wave Records and I believe they broke up the same year.
