A5 - Erst Ausgabe EP 1980

The beautiful short life of the band A5 from Bremen ranged from 1980 to late 1981 and the commercial success of the Neue Deutsche Welle was immense and A5 don't five a fuck and wandered off the scene. A5 is a band which characterizes the transition from Punk to NDW very nice and presents a wonderful mix of both. In September 1980, the band consisting of Sabina May, Ego/N, Harald Hass, Wolf Schaller, Rainer Kosch and Knox, their first EP Erst Ausgabe (also known as Seesack EP) were recorded and was released by No Fun Records. In the summer of 1981 they toured with famous bands such as Hans-A-Plast, Rotzkotz and Der Moderne Man and in October 1981 they released their second and last vinyl Kalte Erotik 7'' and shortly after, in late 1981, the band broke up. So on this record are four pretty mid-tempo sterile strips.

REBELL - Jag Behöver Inte Dig 7'' 1979

Not much info about this band from Nyköping with their only release on Stage And Music Records. Maybe you know them from the Bloodstains Across The World #2 compilation where they are present with one song. They started as a rock band but when Punk comes along they changed their band name and style and recorded this awesome record. Two delicious KBD punk anthems they shoot out from the depths of hell and that's it. Both tunes are kickin' and rockin' and poppin' as it should be for 1979 recordings. Whoever stands still by this sound should go to a Roland Schweiser gig.

LES HÉROS - Elle A Le Nom D'Un Cocktail 7'' 1982

This rare piece was released via Spac Production and is the only 7Inch by this French three piece and the Les Héros are one of the combos which made a record and disappeared into nowhere. Really a pity, I hear two charming melodic nuggets with a decent tempo and a solid production and I'm sure they had the talent for an album, even the bootleggers have not discovered them. Well, there are blogs like this to change that. The band have somehow the typical French drive as I like and this record belongs definitely to the Punkrock Anthology of the early days.

V/A - 10-29-79 1980

Start today with a rare cool compilation with Portland bands and all songs were recorded live at 29.October 1979 and released via Trap Records, Greg Sage old label. Damn hot stuff and this record has mostly offers of $ 100, !! Of course far exaggerated in my opinion. Well, the sound is still wonderfully fresh and it's nice to feel the spirit of the early raw punk music and myself wants pogo and is ready for a hot hot weekend.

DIE KLOPFERBANDE - Bessere Zeiten 1982

Yeah, one more goodie now with the third album from the Klopferbande and it's a successful continuation. On this album we have eleven brilliant wave/punk songs with intrusive-serious German lyrics. And it's great as before and I will let you know what I'm talking about, of course I'm mean their first album Barbarei and the songs are much more mature, powerful and a real boost to the first album and the cover is even fantastic. So give yourself the full Klopferbande blast. In 1990 they released their 4th record and 2015 the current one. Great record, great music!

ANTI-HEROS - That's Right! 1987

Another classic album for me is the debut by the Anti-Heros, an American Oi!/Punk band which were formed 1984 in Atlanta/Georgia. They took a hiatus from 1989–1993, but continued to record and play concerts through the early 2000s. Anti-Heros are one of the first and most popular American Oi! bands. The original line-up consisted of Mark Noah (vocals), Mike Jones (bass), Phil Solomon (drums) and Joe Winograd (guitar). The band released two records on Link Records in the late 80s, 'That's Right!' in 1987 and 'Don't Tread On Me' one year later. Despite the band's vocal admonishment of racism, their association with such ideals has long been a topic of contention among fans. Their theme song, "Anti-Hero," featured as a standard in their live set. The Anti-Heros stance on racist Skinhead participation in the Atlanta Skinhead scene circa 1987 is addressed in the song "Some Fun" with Mark Noah's lyrics "Now the Nazis are coming around, let's run them out of town!" Their last studio album 'Underneath The Underground' was released 1999.

CITY-X - s/t LP 1985

Well, if you a little bit familiar with danish punk then you should know City-X, listen to the Bloodstains Across Denmark and the 2004 Elektriske Svin compilations. After three decent 7Inches Irmgardz Records released in 1985 the bands only full length and they are with this nine songs far far away from their punk roots. I honestly can't understand why and the change brought nothing special out. I would not even call it New Wave, sounds more like lame pop shit. A real disappointment in my opinion, why then post you will ask? Sometimes such music is okay and it's a rare record and maybe a few like this but I must say, it ripples like a dripping faucet. Anyway, City-X were a very good punk band and when we talk of early danish punk they are an important part of it. Tune 4 and 7 prove this a little and plus points for the pretty artwork.

DER DURSTIGE MANN - Himmel & Hölle 1987

Majestic amateurish punk rock from Frankfurt Der Durstige Mann, everyone knows, everyone loves them. Who does not know a single tone becomes yet 100% a fan. ''Himmel & Hölle'' is by far the oddest album they have produced. It includes a Beatles cover 'Little Child' and has many beautiful short songs and the sound quality had prosaicness charakter. Side 2 consists almost entirely longer pieces. For "Monotons Traum" Mark was recorded thirteen minutes at snoring and the result was backed by wild tone-impressions... ("We needed something to make up for the full plate!") Well, is this avantgarde? The record is pressed in flashy colored vinyl. All together, the publications of Eric († 20.01.2016) and syndicate members are great fun an amount.
