KUMIKRISTUS - 1985-1986 LP (2022)


I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that Finland had a larger percentage of amazing punk and hardcore bands than most countries during the 1980s. And just when I think I've heard all the best shit from there, another sick ass Suomi band comes out of the woodwork. Songs from this collection were taken their self titled 7”, split tape with Kolmas Paiva and various comps.

CELA NR 3 - Dedykacja Dla Kurdupla 2XCD (2004)


 Cela Nr 3 formed in 1985 in GrudziÄ…dz, Poland. They were heavily influenced by the Clash, Buzzcocks, SLF, Sham 69 and the Ramones. They disbanded in 1990 and reformed with a different lineup five years later. In '96 their original vocalist passed away but they soldiered on with yet another lineup and I think they're actually still around in some shape or form. This double CD compiles their early demos and live tracks recored between 1986-1990 and 1995.

LAST IN LINE - S/T EP (2002)

If you're not familiar with Last In Line, they kinda sound like Out Cold. Seems fitting since they shared members. This 7" was their 4th and final release.
