PSYKIK VOLTS - Totally Useless 7'' 1979

Psykik Volts, a group of 18-year-olds from Dewsbury/West Yorkshire, who formed in 1978 and put out their only release on Ellie Jay Records and disappear after a short existence. Totally Useless can be found on Killed By Death #6 alongside other glorious hits. They were renamed Pop-Tones and release one more single 'Wooden Heart' on Square in 1980.

DIE WESTDEUTSCHEN CHRISTEN - Laß Mich Nicht Allein 12'' 1980

A fairly unknown band traveled through the eighties were Die Westdeutschen Christen from Berlin. The band's name is a bit funny and I would be interested as the guys came to it and christian rock came somehow later, poser noises... rather, very good NDW sound in the vein of Grauzone or ExKurs, thus quite similar to New Wave and catchy and simple without being superficial. All the four songs on the record are nice and danceable. They released their full length s/t album in 1982. So this sound of this 12'' is absolute characteristic for the early 80's in Germany and was released via Epilepdisc. All in all, no failures, a fine record and anyone who likes minimalistic sounds is right here anyway.

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.

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).

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 words. Musically, 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!!
