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?

VA - Germany Punk Compilation tape (????)
Mixtape of 80's Deutschpunk I got free in an online order a few years back. I gotta be honest, when it comes to international punk the stuff from Germany just doesn't quite grab me the way bands from Finland, Italy, Japan or Poland do. Now I'm not saying German punk sucks by any means, it's just to me a lot of it is (as the kids say) MID. Like it's missing something, I dunno. Of course there's many exceptions, some of them on this comp right here. What do you think, am I talking out of my ass?
