HELLHAMMER - Apocalyptic Raids 12'' 1984

All right, the weekend was very intense and after the incredible soccer match Saturday my best friend Larz and me have a session in my room and we talked about our metal days in the 80s and listen to some old trash goodies and he told, he had recently sold this unique record from Hellhammer for about € 50,- and I know the band but none of their songs and so I find a rip and post this bloody sucker here as a further metal post. Musically extreme black/death metal stuff with awesome guitars and I must confess: I still like that. The band released three albums and two EP's and split up three months after recording this record and later regrouped as Celtic Frost. Just try them.

ETER - Berns 7'' 1981

Another hot slab is this rare 7'' from a totally unknown band from Sweden. Here I have absolutely no information and the www gives nothing so forth quite a few words to their music. Shallow pace mixed with brilliant distorted guitars with a female voice, cool solos and both tracks sung in native swedish. I would rather say that the sound tends more to Pop Punk but both songs would not be wrong on a KBD sampler. With a running time of nearly eight minutes is a listening experience guaranteed. Nice record this little gem of swedish subculture - Worth every tone.

V/A - Rock Today 1980

I will be a bit softer with the next record which is probably not released (Metronome) and as promo platte cataloged but its still coming out I think. Well anyway, I have a copy here and on this record is a decent gathering of different styles and not all songs are quite cool but more than 50% I would say is acceptable, especially at the end the sound kicks, no wonder with this bands. The drugs show effect and I feel much better than yesterday, must be fit for the stadium tomorrow. All right, that was it for today, tomorrow is another, enjoy the weekend.

NO NAME WHY - Sick Life Sucks EP 1997

Motopunk, legendary label here in Frankfurt, was known for their cool garage/hardcore/punk releases and they give mostly bands from Frankfurt (for example SUPERFAN, MONOCHORDS, etc...) and its suburbs of the Rhine-Main-area the chance to get a little bit more famous in Germany or Europe. With No Name Why was the second record released and the band from Oberursel immortalized four dirty Punk'n'Roll numbers in less than six minutes, you think great?? - Yes, fuckin' Great!!! So, now you can imagine from what Mucke I'm talking about. Great AssKickin' sound mixed with finest songwriting form together an explosive bomb which is amazing. And I remember that I spent one or two euros at a record fair for this EP so really a superb investment. Get yourself four.

SCALLY - Que Fue De Los Dos EP 2001

Puuhh, I guess I caught a cold again, no wonder at the frosty temperatures, Fuck! and I'm slowly getting old, ARGHHH. Where are my defense bacilli? - All right, somewhere in the swiss mountains, where otherwise well sonicate only alphorns the lush alpine meadows, Scally have recorded their second EP and it comes with classic old-school hardcore, angry, rough, dirty and bang on your cap. A damn fat piece and the special thing are the spanish lyrics (!) and the expensive D.I.Y. artwork. A total of seven songs, including a live track and very interesting and worth every minute of listening.

JUMPIN' CADORS - 3 Titres EP 1983

Psychobilly stuff by this four piece combo from sunny Nice. Their only record but with three decent killers, released on Rekin's Rekords. I am a little fucked and don't slept last night and I move immediately back to my bed to be fit for tomorrow so all I can say about this band is that they have one more song on the Week-End A Nice compilation from Black'n'White Music which came out in 1984, sure a good one. Maybe later more.

NO BOIS - ...Don't Ask! EP 1994

Again rare german stuff from the Cologne label Corrosive Productions comes this EP by this sympathetic five piece band from Cologne I think. No idea if they made more but I think that's all what these boys ever recorded. Unfortunately I can't say much about the band because no information or lyrics exist. They found together on ads or on beer parties, grabbed broken insrumentes, scrape together money and spit out this six fast songs and then immortalized them on vinyl, in the hope then to have a secure pension, haha... - A rarity is this EP well today and I can't imagine that there exists more then 1000 copies. So my pension is secure. Musically No Bois comin' dirty, crashin' and with good short catchy punkies, all sung in English and they provide for miles all the great old punk bands from the UK or USA in the shade. And the singer is convincing with his crushed voice. Don't ask, just trust me: these guys blowing the dust out of your fuckin' deaf ears and that's exactly why such blogs like this (and others) are alive.. to bring you music you have never heard.

BETON COMBO - Perfektion Ist Sache Der Götter 1981

Another German classic record from AGR is the debut of Berlin's Beton Combo and I'm angry because this fantastic platte I have sold due lack of money, GRRRR. Well, life sometimes doesn't ask for it so with some mp3s have to keep it. Beton Combo was a punk band from the surroundings of the club KZ36 in West Berlin: Heske (vox), Frank (guitars), 3528 (drums), Roger (guitars) and Shake (bass). Heske was involved in the organization of the KZ36 together with Karl-Ulrich Walterbach and Walterbach started a short time later with AGR one of the biggest punk labels of Germany and releaesd the only album in 1981. There followed one mini album and one EP and a few compilation songs before the group dissolved in 1986. On this record are twelve offensive, aggressive wild punkies.

KLICHÉ - Okay Okay Boys 1982

Kliché was a Danish new wave band (1977-1985), influenced by Kraftwerk, Punk, Devo and David Bowie. They had, however, a distinct sound mainly due to lead singer Lars Hug's original voice. They would semi-ironically quote Mao Zedong and Buddha and perform in uniforms - often coloured overalls. Lead singer, Lars Hug (later Lars H.U.G.), began his  solo career in 1984 and has released several albums. After Hug left the band, the remaining members released a single album titled Dobbelt Plus under the name Voss Torp Brill. Another member, Nils Torp, later formed the band Souvenirs together with Sofie Bonde. "Okay Okay Boys" is the second and last album from Kliché, released on Medley Records in 1982. Besides the band's usual crew Hilmer Hassig helps as additional guitarist. He was later a member of the Love Shop. The album continues the style from their brilliant debut album Supertanker with futuristic and socially critical lyrics. The song "Bravo Charlie" was released as a single and is a kind of nonsense show where all the words derived from the NATO phonetic alphabet (with the small exception that "Juliet" has become "Julia"). - Nice Powerpop/Wave/Punk!!!
