THE DETONATORS - Balls To You CD (1989)

It's been almost 13 years since I last posted anything by this band. Which is a shame because these guys deserve to be heard. One of these days I may have to splurge for their out of print '83 debut LP "EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEMS". Or wait for someone to reissue it.

AV - AVEP (1978)

"After seeing the Furies at Japanese Hall, Tim Ray and Bill Napier-Hemy set about forming a band in early 1978. They added drummer Brock Smith and bassist Randy Wright. They called the band AV. Colin Griffiths replaced Brock Smith, and in May they opened for the Patti Smith Group at the Commodore Ballroom. In August 1978, Tim, Bill & Colin recorded the four-song 7-inch AVEP, the inaugural release on the Quintessence Records label. Then Bill & Colin left to concentrate on their new band, the Pointed Sticks. By the time the AVEP was released that fall, Tim Ray had formed a new version of AV, with Martin Brown (bass) and Ronnie Cargill (drums).

In April 1981, Ray recorded Seen A Fight with Payola$ bassist Marty Higgs, Ronnie Cargill, and keyboardists Bill Barclay and Peter Helliwell. (Seen A Fight surfaced on the Zulu Records compilation CD Last Call: Vancouver Independent Music 1977-1988.) In June, Ray (whose band now included Alex Varty of AKA, and Danice MacLeod of UJ3RK5) was the opening act for John Cale on the west coast leg of his tour. In the mid-to-late ‘80s, Tim Ray moved to New York and pursued a visual-arts career. He also was an important figure in the underground “Anti-Folk” movement. Today, Tim Ray lives in Vancouver."

Collection of live tracks, outtakes and interviews taken from the 'Last Gasp' and 'On Earth As It Is In Hell' bootleg 7"s as well as the 'Live 1984 Stardust Ballroom' DVD. I'd love to know the reason why Glenn Danzig won't reissue the SAMHAIN back catalog on digital and vinyl. He'd make a killing!

DOGGY STYLE - Side By Side LP (1985)

 

Flea market find. Goofy skate punk from California that at one point featured Doug Carrion (DAG NASTY) and Brian Baker (DAG, MINOR THREAT, BAD RELIGION, etc) but not on this record. A couple guys who did play on this would go to form KOTTONMOUTH KINGS though.

DEUTER - Demos 1981-1984 LP (2017)

"Deuter, along with Dezerter and TZN Xenna, was the driving force behind the second wave of Warsaw punk in the early ‘80’s and one of the most significant bands in Poland. Both at a musical and lyrical level, Deuter’s songs carried a huge emotional load, and even after more than 30 years since they were recorded they haven’t lost any of their power. Kelner’s brilliant lyrics perfectly and accurately described the bleak and aggressive reality of the People’s Republic of Poland. They are a valuable testimony about finding oneself within an oppressive political system, gaining back the free space taken by two military blocs that were heading towards an inevitable nuclear confrontation. The band, telling it like it was without hesitation, automatically deprived itself of the ability to release a record in the unavoidable clash with the office of censorship. At the time, their strong anti-system message left a big impression, and although it is related to a specific time and place, it is nevertheless timeless and remains relevant even with systems, governments and politicians that are constantly changing. Their collages, manifests, flyers, zines or experiments with performance art and theatre are proof of the formations' multidimensional character. "Demos 1981-1984" contains the following material: a four-track demo recorded at the Riviera-Remont Club in 1981, two songs recorded at Okólnik in 1982 and five songs recorded in the basement of the Hybrydy club in 1984. The instrumental track from this session was recorded for the Akademia Ruchu (Academy of Movement) and used in one of their performances. Because there are many songs in the band's repertoire that were never recorded in the studio, also included are fragments of two Warsaw shows - three songs from 1982 and two from 1984. The sessions included on this album were never released on vinyl before (except two songs appearance on "Victim of a safety pin" comp.LP), and some of them have never been published before on any format. Put on your gas masks! Here is the great world of the nuclear era - 1 9 8 4!"

Screamy (but not screamo, let's make that clear!) Hardcore from Buffalo, NY. Remember when this sound was all the rage in the early 00's? Crazy to think this came out a quarter century ago. I bought this 10" on a whim last fall because it was cheap. No regerts.
