SAMHAIN - Last Gasp On Earth CD (2018)

 

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!"

THE CONTROL - S/T EP (2000)

 

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.

THE SCAM - Sic World CD (2011)

 

Dark 'n' dirty hardcore from New Hampshire. This band should be the first thing you think of when it comes to "horror-punk" and not some wannabe Misfits bullshit. On this disc you get their 1986 EP "Everything Ends In Rot", their then-unreleased "Sic World" album from '87 as well as demos, live and comp tracks.

VA - Let's Start A Riot...Vol. 1...In Holland! EP (19??)

Next up we got a sick-ass 7" sampler bursting at the seams with 80's hardcore punk from the land of wooden shoes and windmills. I've posted Pure Hate and Amsterdamned here before if you wanna hear more of their sheeeit. Volume 2 is a double EP of Swedish HC punk that also looks worth getting a hold of.

ÄNI(X)VÄX - Schock Und Drama LP (2021)

 

Found these Krauts through the URBAN DECLINE Volume 3 mixtape. They put out a live-demo tape in '84 and appeared on a ton of comps, so I guess this LP is somewhat of a "greatest hits".

GAS - 1982-1986 LP (2008)

 

Japanese punk I first heard on "The Punx" compilation. This was on my Discogs wantlist for a long time until I snagged it for $10 off a friend who was getting rid of a bunch of records back in December.

EXTASIS - Discordia LP (2018)

 

Extasis formed in 1980 just outside of Valencia Spain. These songs were recorded in 1986 but for whatever reason would not be unleashed to the world for another 30 years. Maybe because it was too punk sounding compared to their 1985 synth-pop EP?
