FUNERAL DRESS - Back On The Streets EP 2013

Belgium greats Funeral Dress have scorched the scene for over thirty years (formed in 1985) and starting with their debut LP Free Beer For The Punx in 1990 showed great musical abilities combining melodic rhythems with hardcore energy. They have toured with just about every famous punk band you can think of- which built a strong fan base through out Europe. I'm In Love With Oi! (their second album) is one of their best (admittedly, I've only know this record) in my opinion, with amazingly catchy streetpunk numbers. Six more albums, numerous singles and live gigs followed and shows, the band still has a passion for Punkrock and this four track EP was released as limited edition, 500 copies: 100 x red, 400 x black vinyl, via Contra Records and to my knowledge their last sign of life on vinylI think, adequate & fresh opener for a new week and hereby starts the Monday vertically. Prost!

V/A - BG Hronika Vol.2 [Tape] 1990

I haven't forgotten, like so many other things, today part two of the very good BG Hronika tape series on U.P.C.. And again interesting bands, this time twelve, from former Yugoslavia. And as on Volume 1, there are rather unknown combos that conjure up decent music, some made it to vinyl releases, others unfortunately only on tape compis like this. Anyone who already likes the first effort and is friendly with Punk from the Balkans will definitely have fun here, varied and edgy, this small, probably only distributed locally, gives us another insight into the very active and innovative scene of this former socialist country, and some records by well-known bands are absolute classics today. The sound quality is acceptable and it goes without saying that I'll be adding part three in a few months. So far so good, later Bundesliga, important match in Berlin today.

RÖVSVETT - Den Falske Kakaoinspektören 1994

Rövsvett are a Swedish combo from Tranås and active since 1983 and are one of the oldest Swedish still active Punk bands and this is their second album on Birdnest Records. Over the years, their line-up changed and amended several times but the guys are known for their hard aggressive Hardcore and released some interesting tapes and records in the 80's. This is their secod album with fifteen solid numbers in a very production and they blast decent and you can't escape. You can compare these recordings with their demo tape from and you will find that they have not become worse. Well, everyone who likes fast and solid hardcore will get the best service here and shouldn't shy away from downloading it, everyone else too!

MÄDELS NO MÄDELS - Take That! EP 1998

By popular demand, finally Punk from Sindelfingen by Mädels No Mädels who have been celebrating their cutting '77 style dance music since 1989. Originally founded as Heavy Mädels they released their first EP under this name on FAE Musik. This was followed by the renaming to Mädels No Mädels and since then several singles and three albums have been born. They haven't all the qualities of a successful band, that doesn't let anything or anyone get in the way. Unmistakable Punkrock that always sounds crisp like fresh from the baker. In this file you find their fourth EP plus the legendary 333 x Up & Down 7Inch from 1992, both released via the great Incognito Records label. Sound 'Made In Germany' that roars, sweaty concert-goers, 99% humidity and snapped guitar strings are trademarks for a typical Mädels No Mädels gig. It's no exaggeration to say that the band brings fun into your life with their refreshing, carefree music that takes you back to life and leaves everyday life where it belongs. Also represented on numerous CompisMusicians on these two singles are Oli (vocals/guitar), Johnny (guitars), Jenz (bass) and Hari (drums) and their debut Doggie Style comes soon. Until then, let yourself be intoxicated by their driving music, buy their records (if available) and enjoy spring. Cheers!

ED GEIN'S CAR - Brain Dead Baby EP 1984

Debut EP by this Brooklyn four piece called Ed Gein's Car (named in tribute to the notorious serial killer) and the line-up consisted of Scot (vocals), Tim (guitars), Eric (bass), Fred (drums). The band was active 1982-1987 and in that time they made three albums (two of them live at CBGB) and three singles. A review: "Excellent, powerful ’77-style punk in a Misfits/Undead vein. The title track is instantly memorable for its sickoid lyrics and preeminently catchy instrumentals, but the other two songs here keep up the standard just as well. My opinion: get this EP as soon as humanly possible." (Steve Spinali, MRR #19 • November 1984)They quickly became a popular attraction on the downtown club scene, and were firm favorites at CBGB, where they recorded the 1987 live effort "You Light Up My Liver". However, the group took success with the same lack of seriousness as they approached every other facet of their career, and disbanded at the peak of their popularity in 1987; Weis later joined Iron Prostate before turning to painting.

KANGRENA - Terrorismo Sonoro EP 1983

Based in Barcelona are Kangrena and the four have only made in their short lifespan one 7Inch on Anarchi Rekords, and this sucker features five pieces of unique and irreproducible sound. The band was formed in 1981 by Kike (guitars), Johnny (bass) and Manolo (drums) while singer Quoque teamed up with them afterwards: He, uninvited, joined them up on stage for their version of "My Way" on a show in December that same year and was offered the vocalist's post. The name (a misspelling of the Spanish word for "gangrene"), was chosen because they wanted something that could be indentified with what they were doing. Or so they said in that interview for the Spanish fanzine "Melodias Destructoras." As for their influences, they said that musically it was the Sex Pistols sped up and Crass & Exploited lyrically. As for local influences, they expressed their like for Ultimo Resorte, Decibelios, R.I.P., Attak, Frenopaticss and some Siniestro Total stuff and their dislike for anything out of Madrid. They kept playing about once a month until their debut EP 'Terrorismo Sonoro' was released in 1983, some compilation appearances (mostly on tapes) followed and a seventeen track cassette called Estoc De Pus was released in 1984 and a second 'El Cubo De La Basura' a year later. Shortly thereafter the band broke up. Kangrena weren't famous for melodic songs, they are rough, untamed, undisciplined and uncompromising Hardcore that will blow your mind after several listens and more effective than any Aspirin, guaranteed!

EDDIE & THE SUBTITLES - Skeletons In The Closet 1981

At the moment I'm a bit busy with other things, so I hardly find time for wdthtc, but I'm trying and today I come to an interesting record that not only offer Punkrock, the grande debut by Eddie & The Subtitles from Orange County which came via their own label No Label Records and is nowadays a rare classic. The band consisted of Eddie (vocals), Max (guitars), Chaz (bass), Brent (drums) and this is a fantastic concoction of early OC sound with bloody New Wave interludes. They release their first vinyl Fuck You Eddie! in 1980 with two great songs which was already a strong exclamation mark and brought live shows with the Circle Jerks, Black Flag and many other heroes of the period. So they created a small fan base around them and their second and last album Dead Drunks Don't Dance finally followed in 1983.

FEHLFARBEN - 33 Tage In Ketten 1981

Second album by Fehlfarben on Welt-Rekord, which in my opinion was wrongly given little attention and had a difficult time after the departure of singer Peter Hein. Guitarist Thomas now took over the vocals and I have to say he gives the very good lyrics the necessary expression, his own charm and style and 33 days in chains has the same emotionally oppressive density as the debut. Dynamic interplay of bass and drums, fast beats combined with unique guitar playing. I won't say it's better than the debut, but the fine production plus the fantastic lyrics make this record still worth listening today. I put it out after a long time and immediately transported on my phone. You will find two bonus tracks from the CD version in this file and anyone who likes the music of the Fehlfarben will definitely not be disappointed. Well, times aren't very pleasant right now and I've experienced once again how sneaky people can be, but that doesn't belong here and I need to clear my head. Enjoy Life and good music and trust no one!

CONDEMNED 84 - Live & Loud!! 1989

We start the weekend with a decent record from the Live And Loud!! series by Link Records and today we listen to Condemned 84, a British Oi! band from Ipswich, and their stuff was recorded on Oct 29th 1988 at Porter House/Retford and the team consisted of Kev (vocals), Mark (guitars), Gunk (bass) & Cliff (drums). Solid selection of twelve songs from their early era in the typical Streetpunk sound which smile at every Oi! friend. Interesting also the nice comp The Boots Go Marching In which you shouldn't miss. - Maybe a word about the requests, it's my turn and also ripping vinyl will continue soon, I'm a bit scattered & unmotivated. Egal, enjoy the music!
