HYÄNE - s/t EP 2016

May say Hello with new refreshing music from Berlin and if you don't know the label Static Age yet I strongly recommend a visit at the shop or online because their records belong to the best in the German underground in my opinion. An example of this is the young three piece combo Hyäne and with their impressive debut EP they captured me immediately. Four powerful loud smasher have they recorded there and the lusty dynamic energy injected immediately into my veins and intoxicates my senses. In 2018 they released their debut album Demontage & Zerfall which is a brilliant boost to single, listen via bandcamp, with nine more mature ecstasy pieces and I'm sure you will be as excited as me. Great stuff!

EA80 - @ The AU, Frankfurt/Main 24.04.2016

Last but not least a great recording of the longest lasting combo in Germany: EA80 celebrating its 40th birthday this year and getting ready for the new album that will be out soon, some of them were presented in Mainz about 3½ weeks ago. The gig in the Au was a bit special, the beginning was at 17:00 on a sunday and it was still light outside and it was sort of weird to go to a concert in the afternoon. However, it was fantastic and the song selection as well. I guess it doesn't take more words. Who knows the four knows what follows, who not, will be thrilled.

THE FREEZE - Live From Cape Cod 1980

Terrific stuff now from The Freeze, punx from Cape Cod, Massachusetts and they were formed by a group of teenagers in 1978. The band is known for their dark lyrics, catchy melodies, and their longevity. A lot of their early lyrics deal with alienation, drug-use/abuse and paranoia (especially of the church, government and those exercising authority over others in general). A constant theme or thread regarding apathetic observers or people willing to give up their freedoms for fear of losing their Security is also apparent in their work. They've released nine full-length albums and ten 7inches to date and they're still alive. This goodie was recorded @ the Mill Hill Club on 12. April 1980 and released by Schizophrenic Records with a 16x24 inch poster and linernotes by Clif Hanger. Limited to 2000 copies. 1800 copies on green-black splatter vinyl and 200 copies on clear vinyl with green, red and blue splatters. I had the pleasure to see them alive in the Au on July 2009 and what happened there you can see on the basis of some small movies by clicking on the orange link. I hope they will visit us again soon. Until then, this slab must be enough.

F-WORD! - Like It Or Not (Live!) 1978

One 7Inch, one album, that's all what F-Word! (part of the first wave of Los Angeles punk explosion from the late 1970s) released and their debut, via Posh Boy Records, was recorded spring 1978 @ Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco. Twelve unvarnished wild nuggets are witnesses of this amazing performance. One of the first live slabs, I would say.

SEX PISTOLS - Kill The Hippies In Atlanta 05.01.1978

Pretty cool shot of the Sex Pistols which was recorded in Atlanta/Georgia @ the Great Southeast Music Hall on 5th January, 1978 and released via Big Music. It was their first show in the states and we all know, nine days later they gave their last concert in San Francisco and then the band split, making their ways separately to Los Angeles. McLaren, Cook and Jones prepared to fly to Rio de Janeiro for a working vacation. Vicious, in increasingly bad shape, was taken to Los Angeles by a friend, who then brought him to New York, where he was immediately hospitalised. Rotten flew to New York, where he announced the band's break-up in a newspaper interview on 18 January. I think the states came too early and the people there were not ready for the shockers from Europe but Malcolm saw it differently and so the tragedy took its course. Anyway, I still enjoy their music and without them Punk would not be what it is today.

V/A - A Small Retrosperspective (Live!) 2019

Ein neues Produkt aus dem Hause WDM Records und da April ausschließlich Live Postis gewidmet ist wuchs die Idee einer superben compilation mit solchen Aufnahmen die ich hier und da fand oder auf meiner Festplatte schlummerten. Bevorzugt mit Bands die ich teilweise erlebt habe und ich besonders gern auflege. Ich glaube das Ergebnis kann sich hören und sehen lassen und besonders das Artwork alter Eintrittskarten schwirrte mir seit langem im Kopf herum, das hat eine Menge fantastischer Erinnerungen hervor gerufen, schön war's! Ich wünsche Euch jetzt abwechslungsreichen Hörgenuß mit diesem kleinen Rückblick.

    A new product from WDM Records and because April is dedicated to Live posts grew the idea of a superb compilation with recordings that I found here and there or slumbered on my hard disk. Preferably with bands that I have partially experienced and I often put on my turntable. I think the result can be heard and seen, and especially the artwork of old tickets has been buzzing in my mind for a long time, it has brought back a lot of fantastic memories, it was nice! I wish you a varied listening pleasure with this small retrosperspective.

PLACEBO - @ Olympia Hall, Paris 13.03.2003

I remember, I first came in touch with this three piece with their 7Inch Every You Every Me and I thought to myself, WOW!..who is that?.. lively fresh music, cool voice, great lyrics and it took not long, I bought their first two albums and I'm still a big fan of their music, even a concert in Offenbach on 17.03.2001 I visited. What I like is their sound developed throughout their career, adopting diverse elements from other genres and their quiet pieces meet exactly my dark side. A bit info: Placebo is alternative rock combo from London and were founded in 1994 by Scottish-Belgian singer/guitarist Brian Molko and Swedish bassist/guitarist Stefan Olsdal. Original drummer Robert Schultzberg recorded the band’s debut self-titled album in 1996, but was replaced shortly after by drummer Steve Hewitt. They are known for their androgynous image and angst-fueled musical content. To date, they have released seven studio albums. This very good bootleg was released by Sandie Records and reflects twenty views through their first four. Molko has been quoted as calling the band "for outsiders, by outsiders." Any questions? No, then enjoy the concert!

7 SECONDS - One Plus One (Live!) 1987

Before I dedicate myself to the second semi-final in Bremen comes this little slab by the 7 Seconds, a punk band from Reno/Nevada. The band started out playing hardcore but have changed their sound throughout the years, touching on emo-core, alternative rock and pop-punk. Formed on January 17, 1980, by the Marvelli brothers, who used the punk names Kevin Seconds and Steve Youth, and the Borghino brothers, who took the names Tom Munist and Dim Menace. The band has gone through numerous lineup changes over the subsequent years, with only Kevin and Steve remaining constant members. In 2018 the band finally broke up. This is their fifth album and was recorded @ Club Can't Tell, Sacto 15.02.1987 and El Dorado Saloon, Sacto 06.06.1987, released via Giant Records/Positive Force Records and equipped with twelve cool numbers.

LES RATS - En Concert 1990

Besides some re-ups now a little live tape by Intox Production from Les Rats (drowned in the high school routine student life of a remote suburb where the future which they are promised does not like them, it is not by chance if Joss, Patrice, Jean-Michel & Laurent meet since they share the same juvenile fantasy: to become a rock band one day. Like those who bathed their adolescence with wild riffs and media scandals to make their parents pale. It doesn't matter if their material aiding the sounds that leave their instruments can make believe that they become stars because they have rabies in their stomach.... They will be called RATS!) which was recorded in Lyon on 18.01.1989 and we listen to ten dirty catchy smasher in a solid sound quality and I don't wanna write more because all info is available via the Tequila post and I recommend you a click there. I'm tired from the first working day after the famous Easter days.

VENOM - @ Hellfest, Clisson 20.06.2015

The Gods of Black Metal and to date the undisputed #1 are Venom from Newcastle which were formed 1978 and with some breaks still active. Fifteen albums (I only have two left) appeared during this period and with their extreme music they enthrall countless fans all over the world. In 2015 they played at the Hellfest which went three days and here is their gig in a fantastic recording quality. So join the Venom's Legions, pick up the double album From Hell To Unknown as well and have a sunny Easter Monday. Now I have to ride with my bike to Heike's brunch in the heart of Offenbach.
