PÖBEL MÖBEL - Let Sleepin' Dogs Lie 12'' 1987

We stay in Scandinavia and meet Pöbel Möbel from Jönköping and I'm not sure but I post their first record, a split with Anti-Hund Mina on Pissed Records, on my old Blog (Egal, move over to MusicNotNoize for a listen) but this mini-album is totally new to me. This is their last one, released via Blueberry Records and they give us seven powerful, not really spectacular, melodic numbers which makes the sun shine but that's it. Sometimes I wonder about the offers of some sellers for a record and I think to myself, have they a roof damage? Well, it's at each itself how much cash give for a platte its worth but I find it partly puke...shit, I digress... well, this 12'' is not hard stuff rockin' but new in Blogland and I'm content with these seven songs. And tomorrow I want to see that I fulfill some requests, unfortunately I forgot many, use the Babbelstub left, Cheers!

ELECTRIC DEADS - Anti-Sex EP 1982

This is not really new in Blogland but now I have the desire to hear this fuckin' great Danish combo: The Electric Deads, a four piece hardcore punk band from Espergærde, Fredensborg and Humlebæk, they formed in 1981 by Nils (bass), Kevin (guitar + vocal), Bibi (vocal) and Michael (drums) and they released three awesome 7inches and all are damn cool. This is, I think, their second one on Electro Static Records and Bibi's voice is of course outstanding to the fast sound. No wonder they are a must contribute on the Bloodstains Across Denmark compilation. Small country, unforgettable music.

THE IGNERENTS - Radio Interference 7'' 1979

The Ignerents were formed in 1977 in Whitstable, Kent, by brothers Chris and Steve Harris, joined by neighbour Mark Leighton on guitar, vocalist Kevin Holmes (later replaced by Ben Challis) and drummer Stan 'Gretsch' Littlejohn. The band were an important part of the local punk scene in the late seventies in Kent alongside bands like Wild Billy Childish's Pop Rivets, Naughty Thoughts and the Rivals. Like others they identified with Punk if not actually playing Punk. Having demoed for Step Forward records with the excellent 'Uganda Calling' the band released their debut 7'' in 1979 (Radio Interference) on Ace Records and then re-released it on their own label. The band finally evolved into a new band, The Beekeepers, which featured Nick Appleton on guitar alongside Steve and with Chris, Ben and Stan, and then after Stan died, Russell Lax on drums. The Beekeepers released one 7'' called Platform 5 in 1981. On the live circuit the Ignerents were active from 1977-1981 with infrequent gigs that included the Marquee Club (with Chelsea) and the Vortex in London (with Wayne County & The Electric Chairs) and they supported bands like 999 and The Only Ones. So enjoy this little pearl of early UK punk stuff and give the band your full attention. (source: punk77)

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.
