BROKEN TOYS - 4 Track EP 1990

Classic 'bubblegum' punkrock from Boston/USA. These songs plus some more were recorded in 1986 and have been originally released at the band's own label Trash Tone Records on audio-cassette-format. Then Incognito got aware of these punkrock-nuggets and pressed the best four tunes on a 7inch. Brilliant sound like Sloppy Seconds, Blisters, etc. and if you want more don't miss their Dirt album in this house of fools.

HEADLEADERS - Voices EP 1982

Interesting 7Inch on Creep Records by this four piece from Athens and this is their debut with three new wave goodies in English. Founded by Baselie (drums+vocals), Spiros Faros (bass), Dakis Halkiopoulos (guitar+vocals) and Frank Vakoulas (vocals). Beautiful melodies with an impulsive fat bass-line and gloomy lyrics. In 1983 followed the album What It Means To Me which is also great. Check this out.

THE TRUENTS - Don't Look Back 7'' 1998

Pithy goes on with the Truents, one of NYC's Punk Rock bands that put their heart and soul into their music and became a household name. They called their music Punk'N'Roll w/a Twist (whatever that may be) and they shook the 90s right through with their fast paced punkrock. This is their third single on TKO records with two dynamic ass kickers and I bought this record for low bucks because the cover turns me on. The band has recorded four singles and one album and disappeared shortly before Millenium. Cool Cats.


SEXE Á PILE - Pas Vraiment Méchant 7'' 1979

Let's open the month of June with a rare refreshing 7Inch by Sexe Á Pile, a band from Lyon with their only record which brings walls to collapse and hips swing. Two rushing songs that put me in the best party mood and like the taste of fresh strawberries melt on my tongue. About the band I have no further info and even the detectives have not discovered them for any compilation. Only in 2013 we meet them again on the famous Je Suis Punk record. Don't not know exactly who sent me the mp3s but I like to pass them on to you. Be excited - Santé

MARIONETZ - Jetzt Knallt's! 1981

The Marionetz was a german punk band (first as "The Marionettes"), founded 1978 in Munich and this city had at this time a pretty cool punk scene with lots of essential bands, ZSD, Condom, Pack or FKK Strandwixer to name a few. This album was recorded and mixed at the Metro Studio in Munich, April-May 1981 and published by No Fun Records. Goody sound paired with funny lyrics and always worth hearing. As appetizer you can download two songs from the essential Soundtracks Zum Untergang 2 compilation on AGR. One and a half years later (December 1982) came to the following sounds review: "Looking at the scene you can't get away from the Marionetz, even though they are not longer be called punks and classify their music as uncompromising Power-Pop". - Their No-Fun-LP is selling well in hardcore circles and their performances are acclaimed by Undergroundzines writers. Marionetz appeared, fuckin' hell, on radio & television, shows that the group is medium. Their football anthem "Heya-Heya T.S.V." was even played in the Olympic Stadium Munich.

KOMMISSARIE ROY - s/t LP 1981

Now a request and this is the one & only album by Kommissarie Roy, a cool Swedish rock'n'roll combo from Klippan (a kaff in the Swedish province of Skåne) released on Svenska Pop Fabriken. "Here's just rock", says Thomas, guitarist, singer & songwriter. Kommissarie Roy is rock'n'roll. A young group (no one older than twenty) with a swinging, maffig sound and serious everyday lyrics. "That will be the case. You are honestly writing. You write what you think and if you're not a simple idiot the words will come out easy. On the debut record the band is a quartet but has been expanded with singer Kristian from canceled Noise. - I'm singing on the LP and I never thought I was a good singer and so we always have liked Kristian", says Thomas. Pop Fabriken shows interest, always looking for solid Rock'n'Roll bands, and finally took them under contract. They went into a studio and recorded this decent slab with lots of fun. Inspektor Roy has to go to Stockholm and play if they want to reach a big audience. Staying in the province was not enough but the feedback was not as desired so the band terminates. In 1991 followed a small life sign in form of a 7Inch called 1981-1991 on Skivfabriken and then the band was carried to the grave. On three compilations represent, including the famous double LP's Vägra Raggarna Benzin Vol.3+4 from 2015 on Massproduktion. Ready for thirteen hot smarties in just thirty-three minutes?..... for sure!

V/A - La Repera 1996

Ah Fuck, unfortunately nothing with the DFB Cup yesterday and thus also next year not internationally present, after all a very good game of the SGE and congratulations to the black-yellows. Let's go to what's more pleasurable, talk about Get Baque Records. A private amateurish 'label' which specializes in rare stuff, mainly from Europe, and all music is ripped from original vinyls and it's 100% D.I.Y. and pressed in a limited edition. I think someone has digitized his record collection and shares this in form of CD-R with us, simple artwork to that and finished is a small musical highlight. I'm sure this is a lot work and takes toil and time but the result is worth the effort. This is the first GBR compilation with twenty Spanish rarities 1978-1983. Well, whether I would sell them is another story. So, thirty degrees today, time for sun.

1.La Cloaca - LA BANDA TRAPERA DEL RÍO
2.Esperando En La Puerta Del WC - BASURA
3.La Pluma Electrica - KAKA DE LUXE

DIMPLE MINDS - Der Maurer & Der König 1988

The Dimple Minds are a German metal-punk band from Bremen, founded in 1986. Musically, they are characterized by proximity of metal-rock (Nonnentanz), in the lyrics does alcohol play a central role. Quote: "Everything we want is soccer, rock, beer and hot womens!" Many serious plays are evidence of healthy self-irony: So are also personal weaknesses (for example, does not comply with exaggerated sexual expectations or lack of financial liquidity) processed several times in the songs. In some cases their records were sold only to people at the age of eighteen (???). - Visit the Dimple Minds at home for more info. This little sucker contains the 'Blau Auf'm Bau' EP from 1986 and 'Trinker An Die Macht' album from 1988. Now enjoy one or two cold beers!
