D-DAY - Too Young To Date 7'' 1979

One more interesting record is the debut 7Inch by D-Day, a four piece from Austin/Texas, on Moment Productions and both songs go straight into my ears. The beautiful voice of De Lewellen, the harmonic interaction plus the excellent lyrics make the slab something special and underline once more that Austin was home of a vibrant and attractive scene. Unfortunately, I'm already physically weak and move back to bed, maybe later more.

ABUSE - All I Wanna Do EP 2016

This little piece of Kansas Punk came original out in 1981 on Fresh Sounds in form as flexi and thirty-five years later the Italian label RaveUp Records made a re-press but add an unreleased track. The first 200 copies in pink, the rest in fuckin' black. A few words: Punk rock didn’t come to Topeka, Kansas until 1979, but when it did it hit like an atom bomb. Abuse (1979-1982) took their cue from the Stooges and the New York Dolls and then blended that into a sound all their own. Clay Galbraith’s sneering vocals and slinky bass lines, Willie McNeil’s pile-driver drums, and Chris Garner’s chainsaw guitar created a perfect storm of American rock and roll. Three of these tracks were originally released on Flexi-disc in Bill Rich’s legendary fanzine 'Talk Talk' in 1981, and a fourth unreleased track, 'All I Wanna Do', is included here for the first time ever. This is raw primal rock, the way it was meant to be played!!! - Well, all four songs kick ass and meet my taste.

WARSAW PAKT - Safe & Warm 7'' 1977

Warsaw Pakt was a short-lived punk group which were active in the years of 1977-78, though some of its members had heritages linking them to the 1960s underground. This was apparent in their sound, which was a sophisticated punk thrash with plenty of energy but also more structure than some contemporaries. Drummer Lucas Fox had been in the first incarnation of Motörhead with Larry Wallis of the legendary Pink Fairies, while Colquhoun's other work includes spells in The Deviants and Pink Fairies reunions. Their claim to fame is to have recorded an awesome album Needle Time that was in the shops 24 hours after the first note was recorded (viz the session ended at 10 p.m. on Saturday 26 November 1977 and the album was ready to be sold by 7am on Sunday 27.November 1977). The band was trying to make a point about technology in doing this, and the album sleeve was a 12" square brown bag with stickers and rubber stamping to display the band name and album title. After Warsaw Pakt, guitarist Andy Colquhoun joined Brian James' Youth, subsequently moved on to the band The Pink Fairies, and then a band with ex-MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer. When Needle Time was deleted by Island Records within a week of release (after reputedly selling 5,000 copies), the band released a tape with few out-takes under the title See You In Court before evaporating. The seminal post-punk band Joy Division (at one time called Warsaw), changed its name to the former in late 1977 for fear of being confused with Warsaw Pakt. (source: wikipedia)

NOICE - Bedårande Barn Av Sin Tid 1980

By such many requests that blow my mailbox now for all you junkies the 2nd album by the swedish pop-punker Noice from Gustavsberg. At first compare this with their debut album from 1979 called Tonårsdrömmar then you notice their start & how different this is. A few words: In 1981, Noice went out on a sold out summer tour like a bunch of happy and excited children, when they came home they had lost all the properties and some of the members never recovered properly from the experience. The band became a product and the record company wanted to earn lots of money and strike while the iron was still hot. EMA Telstar promised to take care of the guys (some were not even of age) but it ended with the older rowers provided the boys with drugs and alcohol instead. The lyrics that the band wrote is a bit too pubertal when listening through their adult ears but that's probably what was meant well, they hardly wrote this songs for 30 Plussa! It sounds, however, still unbridled and raw their earliest works, and that's no doubt about who was the "dangerous" in comparison with Halmstads beads. Unfortunately, gave the course of life the inevitable result that it did. Noice broke up in 1982, but reunited for a short time in 1991 and performed a handful of concerts. Keyboardist Freddie Hansson died in late December 2001, some eight months later also died vocalist Hasse Carlsson. - So this album goes more into pop but has with the title track a brilliant KBD Punk Killer!! ready and this alone is worth the download.

P.V.P. - Miedo 1982

Miedo (Fear) is the first album by this Madrid based four piece called PVP (founded 1980) and the album was released in summer 1982 by Belter Records. They made four albums which are nowadays most appreciated and sought. After releasing the fourth album in 1987 the band  disappeared. They were often called "the Clash of Madrid". They never achieved great commercial success, but they did achieve prestige among the public and the specialized press. Twelve solid rockin' numbers and the last one today, I'm fuckin' hungry & tired, a little headache and the rest of the weekend is only chilling. Have a nice Sunday!


DIE TOTEN HOSEN - Battle Of The Bands 1985

Out of the ashes of ZK were 1982 formed Die Toten Hosen in Düsseldorf. They enjoy over decades a strong popularity in Germany and they exist for over thirty years and their songs' focus gradually shifted from funny and nonsensical to serious and on this rare 12'' they perform as five different bands. The album is not the best and they don't really like it.. yes even find embarrassing! The songs have been written for the extrem badly "Formula One" movie. This vinyl is not exactly overwhelming but it has a little charm and good humor. Well, when I listen to Opel-Gang or Damenwahl then this slab is quite far away from both. But hey - check for yourselfs!

TRIO - Anna 7'' 1982

Next stop in our Soundbox is a band which come direct from heaven and I remember those three buddies very well and when I first listen to this song I thought to myself: Was ein Brett! Trio was formed in a small German town called Großenkneten/Ostfriesland 1980 and they are most noted for the song "Da da da..." which was a hit in thirty countries worldwide. But Trio was more than this. Their simple songs are more punk and (would they released their records on a small label, these would big rarities nowadays) their partially humorous lyrics the media labeled them as NDW and sure they made music that time but I mean they a far far away from all those numerous stupid records and I think that's the problem with the shitty majors. Anyway, two great songs with a rare live one on the B-side. New rip/scans in usual WDM quality. So far so good, rainy today and I have a ticket for the soccer game versus Leverkusen...


IDENTITÉ - Sous-Sol 7'' 1984

Good morning world and welcome to finest weekend sounds and we put a coin into the Musicbox and choose Identité from Dunkerque. Formed by J-Luc (guitars + vox), J-P-A (bass) and Pich (drums) and they made only this superb two-side killer 7Inch via Aaltrack Records and a tape in 1985 called 'Dernier Printemps'. No further information, no more records and no compilation contributions (one on Je Suis Né Dans Une Poubelle). I call that ultra rare... pick up!
