DISTRUST - A Dream Of Peace EP 2008

One more on this rainy Wednesday and nothing info can be found about this swedish Hardcore band, but who cares anyway. There's a bit info on the back cover and I use my swedish and it seems this is an unofficial release. So a few words I have: This reissue is the full 7-track cassette by this Swedish D-beat hardcore band, originally out in 1983. Rip-It-Up rawness galore, this band featured members who later played with ASOCIAL and SVART PARAD. All in all the seven songs are fast, dirty and loud and very beautiful are the melodies which has every fuckin' song to offer. I mean, the boys bludgeoned not so brutally on their instruments, No! - they play excellent hardcore punk and sung in their native Swedish language and as a small bonus is a live cut which was recorded in 2006 with it. A respectable pointer! - TIP!


BRACES CARRIER 69 - Kühl Servieren EP 2002

Old school Oi! Streetpunk from this nice combo from Cologne with five songs, one side in German the other in English. Not the political garbage, cold served clear announcements to stand to your personality and not be a moron and give up, is the situation also hopeless. Fight!! Bought this piece many moons ago in a secret place I have forgotten. The band was active from 2002 - 2006 an this is their lone record on Streetmusic Berlin. Really a pity, such cool stuff is rare in those tired days.


V/A - Killed By 7Inch #10 EP 2000

With this EP, the small edition Killed By 7Inch is complete and all other volumes are here. Number 10 was not easy to find but who seeks finds, isn't it? Four rare goodies of course and the Invaders one is the best on this record, they released one 7'' and this is the a-side and a solid mid-tempo tune, the flip is a waste of time, Amsterdamned's hardcore tune were taken from the compilation Als Je Haar Maar Goed Zit #2 from 1983, excellent stuff. Florida based band F starts the b-side with a fast track from their 'You Are An EP' single on Intendo Distorto Records from 1984 and last but not least the False Prophets with the title gem of their second slab Good Clean Fun from 1982. I'm sure, your breakfast will taste better with this sound. I will take a shower and come back soon.

2.Melting Pot - AMSTERDAMNED
3.In Control - F
4.Good Clean Fun! - FALSE PROPHETS

THE DALEKS - OK! EP 1980

Another superb record is this little fucker. The Daleks launched the label Exterminated Products in 1980 with their 3-track EP 'OK!'. The record stickers were accidentally printed without the copyright smallprint, so each copy was released with a folded A5 slip of paper with the correct label design plus lyrics and photos on the reverse. This appears to have been their only official release, and it's pretty good, if unmemorable. Rejected was used justly for the England Belongs To Me Vol.4 compilation (coming soon).

- Huge Thx to Fredrik -


RAZZIA - Ausflug Mit Franziska 1986

Welcome May and you start with crappy weather and what the fuck? So I have to immediately unpack the best Razzia slab and spit in your face. - I guess, the second album was for many a surprise (me included). Was on the debut hard political punk rock recorded are here for the first time synthis used and textually the band become more personal and nested and I came up sometimes with the second listen what is meant in some songs and I recommend you a decent translator to understand all those ingenious wordsMusically, the band use all their instruments exactly where they belong and I appreciate the courage to take this step. I'm not a good reviewer but I promise this record is an excellent document of German subculture. I hope the concert will comin' soon. All thumps up!!

FOXY - Por Vida, Stay Foxy! 2001

So, the second semi-final of the DFB Cup will start shortly and yesterday my favourite team Eintracht managed to make it into the final and let's see who is on 27.05.17 in Berlin with us. But first another highlight which I have already posted on DU and I think it's worth to present this stuff again. This is the debut album by Foxy from Orange County, which includes thirteen songs that were produced by John Maurer (Social Distortion) and recorded 2001 at EMG Studios, North Hollywood/California. Beautiful melodies, inspired by the Ramones and Clash, and all songs are really rockin' and rollin' and they live entirely clear of the rough, but never screamin' voice of hot Lisa, uuhhhhhh..... - You can read a detailed review of the record on OC Weekly, and I leave you for today because I have to pay my bills and soccer rolls in. So suck down this brilliant album and enjoy!

KOLLAA KESTÄÄ - Kokonaan: Jäähyväiset Aseille 1995

Let's meet singalong punk from Tampere: Kollaa Kestää. Founded 1976 by Kai (vox+guitar), Juha (guitar), Erkki (bass) and Jyrki (drums). Mikko came for Erkki on bass after recording their single "Musti, Sotakoira" in 1978. In the band's hometown Tampere the record company Poko Rekords was founded and members of the band were good familiar with the owner Epe Heleniuksen. Kollaa recorded their first single on the Gulf of Microvox studio in the afternoon of 28.November 1977, on the same day Eppu Normaali recorded in the morning their debut single as well. The band recorded the b-side "Tähtien Rauha" in January of the following year. The single was released on March 30, 1978. The new lineup recorded their first EP called Kollaa Kostaa with six songs with Mika Sundqvist MSL-studio on August 24, 1978. Later more songs were recorded for the Hilse compilation and "Adverts Blues" made it and on the Poko Christmas album "Kylmää Joulua!" Kollaa delivered another classic with "Tonttuarmeija". On 19 March 1979 the band recorded the MSL-studio single "Kirjoituksia Kellarista", which appeared during the following month. That same year the band asked Johanna and the labels interest in the publication of the first length album was honest. The label agreed and the band decided to leave Poko. Their debut album Jäähyväiset Aseille was recorded at the peak Finnvox studio and released in yet to the 1979 season. The record became positive criticals and its title song became a small success. Jyrki Siukonen wanted to do something different from the punk-rock and left the band. Mikko Nevalainen from Eppu Normaali joined as bassist. Kai Stone and Juha Helminen were in favor of continuing and did a few gigs with drummer Eila but however, the band broke up the same year.

Kollaa and Jyrki made with Siukonen a gig in Helsinki @ the Old Student House and in summer 1982 the band come for a short reunion together. Kai died on 10 June 2007 at the age of 48 at home and Juha died in March 2013.

- Great Thx to Marcus -
