NOISE - Små Röda, Lätta Regndroppar 1981

Only release by Swedens Noise on Svenska Popfabriken with ten multi-faceted spring songs. The usual suspects are: Kristian (vocals), Fredrik (guitars), Jan (bass), Allan (drums) and Mats (klaviatur) and previously two 7Inches appeared on Klooak, nowadays damn rare of course, plus two songs on the nice Svensk Pop compilation from 1979. I think somebody was looking for this slab and I totally forgot it. Well, who can wait is often rewarded. The lifespan of the band was probably short and historic accents they haven't left much into the punk world execpt three excellent unknown pieces with decent music on it. Now quickly back to bed and a little doze. In three hours the duty screams!

MASSAPPEAL - Nobody Likes A Thinker 1986

Cool Hardcore Brett by Massappeal, formed in 1985 around core members, Brett Curotta (guitar) and Randy Reimann (vocals) with various floating rhythm sections, Massappeal forged an intense sound that relied as much on the early eighties hardcore sound. Debut album on Waterfront Records and in this file ten loud Bastards! Puhh, I'm so tired... Easter was extreme but fortunately it is Champions League soon.

BELLEVUE - Discography 2011

During the late 70's Andreas Hofer (guitars) & Jürg Grob (bass) began to meet for evening sessions of noise at former "venues" such as defunct bomb shelters and parking lots. These nights brought together a wide range of very unique and diverse characters (many many others were also very actively involved). When vocalist Peter Hefti joined in 1980, the name Bellevue was adopted. After a handful of shows Jean Bhend (drums) left and was replaced by Major Many from the Rebels. The band consisted of former art-school students, looking for a new direction and for those involved who weren't, Bellevue was a reaction to the stereotypical, chart-oriented music that was dominating the mainstream of that time. Bellevue sang in German and English, lyrically dealing with issues such as government surveillance, the army, drugs & genetic engineering. Besides a handful of shows across Germany, they predominantly played in their home city of Zurich with the odd out-of-town performance every so often. It all unfortunately came to an end in 1983 after the release of their second single "Soldatenlied".    

So here is now this beautiful piece of punkrock outta Switzerland! Absolutly beautifully packaged collection of the two 7"s of this essential SwissPunk band, some never before released studio songs from the period plus three remastered but still raw live songs. Killer-Punkrock-record with thirteen magic midtempo-punk-tracks with mostly German lyrics. Edition of 500 copies only, includes an awesome insert with band-story and images of old concert-posters.

BILLY SYNTH & THE TURN UPS - Disorderly Conduct 1983

Good Morning Maniacs!, I hope you have a day off today and enjoy it with good weather. First, I need cigarettes so I'm going to get some... wait... back with Jever and now Mr. Pennsylvania Punk legend Billy Synth with the Turn Ups and their second album on Tragik Records and we listen to thirteen great synth-punk smashers and I wonder why they were not taken for the essential great fucking Killed By Synth compilation, maybe too snotty. Anyway... Billy (vocals + synths), Demo (bass), Stevinyl (guitars) and Joe (drums) have recorded a cool album that kicks and if you wanna know more read an interview on Attacking The Beat. Stay tuned for more nuggets but next I want to rip another record.

GUILTY RAZORS - Guilty! 2006

A decent re-release is the next album with original recordings from the late 70's. The Guilty Razors had a singular history. During the 1970s, marked in Paris by the many manifestations of leftist movements, five young musicians influenced from the late 60s atmosphere by their favorite groups (Stooges, Kinks or Velvet Underground) decide to form a rock group. A live band especially, which expresses their rage through a wild rock and uncompromising. So naturally they just incorporate the emerging punk scene in Paris next to Metal Urbain and Asphalt Jungle. They play @ the Gibus in the first part of Jam (not without daring to take on the English Rickenbacker stars!) and also provide the latest delivery punk festival at Olympia in 1978 before the public destroys dozens of chairs. But their working-class reputation and bad boys expertly maintained by their manager Alexis Quinlin very influential character of the rock scene, will soon catch up. In March 1978, following their many escapades, the Polydor label terminates the contract, makes removing the trays 5000 copies of their first EP called 'I Don't Wanna Be A Rich', which eventually almost all pestle. Only a hundred records sent to the press escape destruction. The Guilty Razors still continue to record other tracks including some at a chaotic time in Madrid. The group finally separates early 1979. Their songs will be released on LP/CD in 2006, thx to Seventeen Records. A track appears on the compilation KBD #7 and the complete 7Inch is banned on KBD #77 (click the orange letters above) together with more essential rare goodies.

STILMORD - Det Spelar Ingen Roll Rock'N'Roll 7'' 1982

Released on Polar Records in 1982 and we have two catchy pop-punk tunes. A short bio I found: "Stilmord was a Swedish power-pop band formed in Täby near Stockholm in the early 80s. They got their band name from the album Talmannen by the Swedish comedian Kalle Sändare, who was well known for recording his telephone jokes with unknown people. On this album he mentioned the name Armand Stilmord (Armand Stylemurder), and the group liked it so much that they took it as their own name. Stilmord got their recording contract when they were competing in a rock contest at the club Underground in Stockholm with the artists Yngwie Malmsteen and Orup. The first single "Det Spelar Ingen Roll Rock'N'Roll" was a hit and it even was used as a jingle for the Swedish rock radio show Eldorado. Later the same year, 1982, Stilmord released a second single "Förbjuden Kärlek" for the same label. After this they changed record labels to Gazell and at the same time changed their name to Rabalder. The third single release "Dina Ögon" was no success and sold only seventeen copies. They continued as a band for a year longer but changed style to funk music inspired by Level 42." Nice little gem!

EXTREM - Wir Sind So Frei EP 1987

Solid four track EP by Extrem from Vienna on Durchbruch Records. In 1983 they released a split called Vorheilen Ist Besser Als Beugen together with Mickeyman, recorded in June 1983 and the result is probably the sharpest and hardest punk rock publication of the "Schnitzel Paradise". 'Oaschloch' rhetoric in grossly Viennese, jagged hardcore punk guitars and high-speed drums knock on the door to insanity and say "Servas, I'm ahead of my time." - In other words from Luziprak: "EXTREM is the (international) most famous early HC band from Austria. The formation began in the summer of 1979, and in 1980 the lineup was complete, Helmut "Heiland"[saviour] Hejtmanek, Dieter Hauptmann and Peter Zinner. After some gigs in Vienna and one in Munich, Daniela Delise on the bass was added in 1983. In the same year Michael "Mickey Kodak" Snoj aka. MICKEYMAN recorded with them a limited (200 pieces) split-LP, and after a contribution on an international hardcore compilation in 1985, there was no chance to find this record anymore, as the interests grew world wide. The lyrics where socio-critical, sung in a viennese slang and the sound was very rough and speed-up, a perfect DIY-HC product. In 1984 they also recorded a demo, from which the song "Haus Im 2.Bezirk" [house in the second district] (a brothel) is taken. After Heiland left the band for a solo career, they recorded a 7inch in 1987 and a solo-LP in 1990, both records where much faster an more metal like, but still hardcore." You have to be satisfied with that!

TOXIC REASONS - God Bless America EP 1984

Toxic Reasons were a prolific band that went through many changes in both personel and musical direction over the years. The core group consisted of Bruce Stuckley (lead guitar/vocals), Bertram "Tufty" Clough (bass/vocals), Jimmy "JJ" Pearson (drums/vocals), and Rob Lucjak (guitar/vocals). None of the latter three were present when Stuckley started the band in Dayton, Ohio 1979. At that point he was playing bass, Joel Agne was on guitar, Mike Patteson played drums, and Ed Pittman was the lead singer. This line-up only stuck around long enough to record a two-song single, 1980's War Hero 7". After a second 7" recorded with East Bay Ray, Toxic Reasons began work on their first full-length album Independence (more info in the file) - This is the third 7Inch on their own label T-Reason with three thrillers; furthermore on numerous compilations, for example: We Don't Need Nuclear Force & The Power Of Love and sometime in 1995 the band broke up.

ELEMENT OF CRIME - Weißes Papier 1993

Let's open the early Sunday with melancholic chanson-, pop and rockmusic by Berlin's Element Of Crime, founded 1985 and the bandname is borrowed from the title of the movie The Element Of Crime by Lars von Trier. They first sang in English but that was rather moderate and with the sixth album they switched to German which is a lot better for the band and expresses the wonderful words of Sven more clearly. Weißes Papier is the seventh album and I bought it when I was with my pearl from Hamburg and we heard it a lot, nice times were that, and somehow this morning I'm in the mood for calm, tender melodies. Anyway, the band gained lots of attention with this record and I acquired another slab that is equally charming. Dive in and have a good breakfast with it.
