You don't really hear about early punk from Portugal in comparison to their next-door neighbours Spain. I do remember Lisbon having a thriving hardcore scene when I was there 20 years ago. This little 4 song sampler isn't really much to go on, but it'll have to do until someone releases a 'Bloodstains Across Portugal' or something.
14 years ago I saw these guys at a sXe hardcore show in Lisbon Portugal and they blew my socks off. I normally don't listen to this type of melodic hardcore, but something about them just resonated with me. So of course I bought their demo tape at that gig. I used to play it all the time, but at some point I've seemed to have misplaced it. Luckily I have it on a burnt CDr that I downloaded off an old Lisbon Hardcore page. This version includes a Bad Brains cover that wasn't on the tape.

Like it says on the cover, "strictly no english or american junk". Interesting bootleg comp of rare late 70's to early 80's punk rock, new wave and power pop from countries you may not have even expected from in that time period. Most of the groups on here are European, but South Africa and Argentina are also in the house. The reason I bought this record was for the two songs by Fræbbblarnir, one of Iceland's first punk bands (if not the first). I stumbled upon one of their gigs when I was in Reykjavik back in 2013 and thought they were amazing for a band that looked like a bunch of old college professors. I checked out all the local record shops for any of their back catalog, but no avail. But they aren't the only great band on here. I think my favourite song on this LP is 'Gilmore 77' by Spain's TNT. Amazing bass line!
