V/A - Unterhund Veselica V Živo 26.10.1996

Short Black Big Unknown Serbian Culture Shock Attack today for your deaf ears and I don't know what is Unterhund but I think it's the club where this compilation was recorded and we listen to four bands and I can assure you, it's a listening pleasure of a special kind. Kristuši's credo are short songs with a touch of ska which is seasoned with a sax and have a 7Inch out, the same goes for Pridigarji, formed 1987 in Ormož and they made five albums until 2011. Noise Order released one album in 1987 and their music is, I would say, a heavy noisy doomhardcore sound with a damn good screaming voice, I've experienced something like that live, just brilliant. Wasserdicht have also recorded a few albums and it is a treat listen to the extreme distorted guitar, nice three cuts and the winner for me. Cool record and interesting mixture anyway!

BAD RELIGION - Silencio @ Vienna 28.08.1989

Yesterday I was totally exhausted and nothing goes so today I'm feeling better and have time for this next post by Bad Religion and this Bootleg is a excellent come back. Twenty-seven nuggets from their first three album (and I mean the Punk ones) in a solid quality. I think, I must no write further useless words because anyone who has already visited a gig by the gentlemen knows how sweaty ninety minutes can be. So open a beer and spend a little time with finest California smasher.

RAW POWER - Live From The Gutter 1996

Puhhh, almost sleepy half of Saturday and still not fit and tonight to Mainz for a gig but I don't wanna moan, at my age I need longer regeneration phases. Today's post pulls us to the boot in the middle of the mediterranean sea and we're attending a gig of Raw Power which was recorded @ the "Maffia Illecit Music Club", Reggio Emilia on the first of march 1996. Released via Godhead and I remember when I first listen to their debut record I was totally excited, such an amazing aggressive hard sound I only knew of US Hardcore bands as Septic Death, MDC or D.R.I., and clear that I was immediately interested in the Italian scene and enriched my collection with more vinyl, yeah... I love this music! On this little sucker are twenty-seven blasts in a varied compilation of old classics and newer songs and I find the selection perfect. Check their homepage for more info and enjoy the show.

NDT - Live! 1983

This time not a bootleg but an official album, the second and last of NDT from Lucerne and this rare record was taped on April 1983 in Bern. When I heard the slab for the first time I immediately thought of Slime's Pankehallen album but today I think it lacks the power of it a bit but that does not make it any worse. Fifteen goodies mostly from their first album in fantastic sound and charming intermediate announcements, I wanna know who supported them at that time, was certainly a great gig. Anyway, let's see if I can fill the month with more live stuff. Have a great weekend and now welcome NDT!

GENERATION X - Untouchables (Live & Demos 1981)

"This group are important. They are something new, young and exciting. They're fuckin great!" Mark P.(Sniffin Glue 5.11.1976). This nice release was brought to us by A William Broadcasting Production and I don't know the exact release date but that doesn't matter, fifteen live recordings in a modest quality, plus three demos gather here for an hour to document the early days of Generation X, formed in London during the fall of 1976, Billy Idol (guitar), Tony James (bass & vocal) and John Towe (drums) perform a few gigs, under the name Chelsea with Gene October as frontman. Idol and James are also developing a song writing partnership, the results of which are not performed by Chelsea due to a lack of fit with the current group. Idol and James eventually decide to leave Chelsea so that they can create a group based upon their own vision and songs. John Towe comes along as well. On December 4th Billy finds the missing key to their new line up at the Fulham Arts Centre, when he sees seventeen year old Bob "Derwood" Andrews playing guitar in the band Paradox. Derwood is quickly recruited, given a hair cut, and within as little as three weeks after leaving Chelsea, Generation X play their first gig. In mid April 1977, Generation X decide that the weak link in their line-up is drummer John Towe, and he is asked to leave. After auditioning over twenty different drummers, they decide upon eighteen year old Mark Laff (a.k.a. Mark Laffoley). He was drumming for Subway Sect, and upon completion of their lengthy tour with the Clash, leaves to join up with Generation X. With Mark Laff now on-board, the "classic" line-up of Generation X is complete.In May 1979, Bob "Derwood" Andrews tells the other band members, that he is quitting the band. However, his departure is short lived and he soon comes back to finish the remaining live dates (including a tour of Japan) as well as recording sessions for the 3rd LP Sweet Revenge. On December 19th 1979, Derwood again announces to the band that he is leaving and this time sticks to his decision. On January 23rd 1980, Billy and Tony ask drummer Mark Laff to leave the band as well. Bob "Derwood" Andrews and Mark Laff go on to form the group Empire and release one LP Expensive Sound in 1981, before breaking up. Billy Idol and Tony James recruit former Chelsea guitarist James Stevenson and ex-Clash drummer Terry Chimes, re-christen the group Gen X, and go on to release one LP Kiss Me Deadly in 1981, before breaking up.(Source: Mark Gale & Mark Laff) I think you are well informed now so enjoy their sound at maximum volume!

RAZORS - @ The Rebellion Festival, Blackpool 08.08.2014

More awesome live stuff, this time by the Razors which were formed 1977 in Hamburg and with interruptions and changes in the cast, the band is still active today. Feller, Gott and Schwabe began making music together in summer 1977 under the impact of the emerging punk wave. Until May 1978 was rehearsed without a singer and with Klaus a singer was found. He only had three days left to rehearse the set until the first real concert. This took place during the Grünspan concert series in Hamburg. The Razors were henceforth also active in the environment of the Krawall 2000, one of the early important location in Hamburg and there they played regularly. The 1979 7'' Christian Child/Enemy was produced and distributed by the band itself and is a blast in my opinion. The next two releases appeared at the later Cologne right-rock label Rock-O-Rama. In 1981, the band broke the contract with the label and changed for two releases to the Hamburg label Konnekschen. In 1981, singer Klaus left the band to take care of his children from now on, the vocals took over Lui from Napalm. For some concerts, the Razors remained in this formation. Among other things, Martin had during this time a few guest appearances on studio recordings of the band. The band broke up soon thereafter lack of perspective. 2003 is the reunion of the band and one year later a single with new recordings was released by Klartext Records, recorded in the studio of Martin and since them they keep on rockin' which they here clearly underline.

PANIKRAUM - @ Waggon, Offenbach 09.09.2017

Now it's time for live stuff on WDM Records and in September 2017 Panikraum were guests at the best location in the Rhine-Main area called Waggon. Panikraum are Alexander (vocals & guitar), Markus (guitar), Jasper (bass) and Nico (drums) and were founded in Mönchengladbach. "We make music, a little punk, a little rock, a little wave. Lyrically emotional and personal, but also political. A mixture of its own kind." After a nice demo they released their debut Kopkino in 2017 on Major Label (order) with fourteen fantastic emotional goodies and since I love the bands in which some of the gentlemen are also musically active it was a must to cycle to Offenbach and as always, it was an extraordinary experience and a fantastic evening. The recording is quite brilliant and if you wanne get in touch with the band join Facebook and bring them to your city. Thank you for the little break from everyday life!

V/A - Metal Attack Vol.1 1985

Now a little trip back to my Metal days with this nice compilation from Noise Records. Six bands and we kick off with Grave Digger from Gladbeck, formed 1980 and they're still alive, Running Wild were formed 1976 in Hamburg. They were part of the German metal scene to emerge in the early to mid-1980s. Over the course of their career, they have released sixteen studio albums, three live albums, five compilation albums, and six singles/EPs. Although their earlier releases contained Satanic themes and imagery, Gerald "Preacher" Warnecke, the guitar player of the band, was studying theology at the time and is now a pastor in Cologne. Helloween's a power metal band also from Hamburg, founded 1984 by members of bands Iron Fist and Gentry. They released fifteen studio albums, three live albums, three EPs, and twenty-seven singles, and has sold more than eight million records worldwide. Warrant were formed 1983 in Düsseldorf by Jörg (vocals & bass), Thomas (guitar), Oliver (guitar) and Lothar (drums). Also Thomas Franke played all drums in 1985 studio recordings of both EP and LP and in 1999 recordings as well. They went on tour with Warlock in 1985, after releasing an EP and an LP the band soon split up. Sinner was formed by vocalist and bassist Mat Sinner in 1982, based in Stuttgart the band released their first album, Wild'n'Evil in 1982. This album, along with the next two (Fast Decision and Danger Zone) were raw affairs, having little in common with the melodic metal they would later become known for. Celtic Frost were a Swiss extreme metal band from Zurich. They are known for their strong influence on the development of extreme metal. Formed in 1981 as Hellhammer, the band became Celtic Frost in 1984 and was active until 1993. Their music included elements of various extreme metal styles. Their earlier music was classified as thrash metal and death metal and their later work was classified as doom metal. The level of experimentation on albums such as Into the Pandemonium led certain journalists to describe the band's direction as avant-garde metal.

BRUSET - Vitt Brus 1978-80 [2004]

The band who never made an album and that's really a shame because this combo is one of the best Swedish Punk bands ever in my opinion. They released three amazing 7inches and that's it and the band knows that they have many more nice tracks which need to be heard. So in 2004 they dig out this eighteen track compilation with all released material plus demos and radio recordings. The result is superb. They blend all styles of music that exist in punk into a magnificent firework, every song is a real hammer, I promise you this CD stays for a while in your CD/mp3 player. Also worth mentioning is the artwork with all the info you just have to know, unfortunately all in Swedish but it doesn't matter, I give you a little reflection about the band: "Bruset came out of the suburb of Kortedala in Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. The nucleus was formed in 1976, with this lineup: Hans Anderson (gtr, bg voc), Janne Blomquist (gtr, bg voc), Thorbjörn Jonsson (ld voc), Håkan Lundberg (bs), Håkan Sandsjö (drms). in place in 1977. They began as a sort of pub rock/garage cover band, and when punk came along Bruset found an environment and fitted well into, started writing their own stuff, and took it from there. Being a few years older than most of the other bands, they were very active in the formation of the local "punk rock infrastructure", in view of their relative experience, organizing gigs together with the other bands until the clubs, media and record comapnies finally took notice of the punk phenomenon. By way of ska, Bruset gradually moved on into reggae and other more rhytmic music. They recorded half an album in 1980, the project being cut short by the drummer leaving the band. They were active from 1981, touring heavily in Sweden & Denmark, at this stage featuring a percussionist and a keyboard player and occasionally, a brass section. Bruset played their final gig in August of 1984." Highly recommended and for me one of the best releases: Rock, Punk, Pop, Ska & Reggae, Yeah!!!!
