Skitvarld - The Demo 2015



It's been too long since my last blog but my life is so busy everytime I think I will do a blog I forget!!! However as I'm trying to plug my own band it's easier to remember!!

We've been going since May 2013 & well it's taken a while to sort these 11 tracks (3 in the first song) I mean the sort of thing we do is say last night we've two new songs well I was singing the lyrics to the wrong song & then when we changed to the other new song I realised that I now knew why some of the words weren't fitting in hmmmmm!! 


Anyway this is a free download from Bandcamp will sort out Soundcloud soon!! NoisyPunk from Liverpool!! 


Hoping someone wants to release this in the meantime we are ourselves as a cassette

Hank Wood & The Hammerheads






So here I am finally after a long break. My life revolves around a 56 hour working week basically to survive in Tory ruled UK & the fact I can get the records, cd's, tapes etc I want finally after having a fucking shit first half of 2014!! Anyway enough about me & hooray to me for buying loads of music again!!! 

So I generally think NYHC is crap, I mean not all of it but I hated that macho bollocks that straight edge crap that came around that 80's/90's period. HOWEVER the NYHC scene now is something I am almost obsessed with some of the bands that have or are coming out from the self proclaimed "Greatest city in the world" is something that I am thoroughly enjoying. It's different & noisy as fuck. One such band Hank Wood are as I originally described them as The Doors on Coke & Speed then I thought hmmm you didn't really think that out did you Andrew!!! 


Now some of the there stuff is still available from some distro's around the world one such place I'm gonna link here LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS how long & how much Paco has I don't know? This is a UK distro/label with many great things to buy from! Anyway you can also find stuff on Discogs as well but for those who don't have enough money here are the file's for you to download & listen to as usual try & support the band & any band I blog (that's still going of course)

Fader War

 Originally from the album worth around £300 now INGENTING FOR NORGE this bootlegged ep is an astounding piece of Norwegian hardcore (except the last song.... that's fucking shit!!) Proper punk rock from 1982!! They just didn't stay together long enough to make a massive wave in Scandinavia!! So many good bands vanished into obscurity only to be remembered by the likes of my mate Andy who will listen to anything that's pre 1700 BC!!! (That's a bit of a standing joke with us!! He don't listen to new stuff unless we go listen to this!!) FADER WAR FUCKING AVE IT!!


Screaming Holocaust




Screaming Holocaust a band I can't for the life of me remember much about obviously from ENT country & mates with them! But at the time back in 89/90 when I bought these ep's I think I knew a lot more about them! 

I remember a few years ago looking through the internet looking for the MP3's of these 2 ep's (Cause I am too lazy to convert stuff myself though I have all the equipment!! Anyway I remember only finding one!! However it's Sept 2014 & I finally decided to convert the ep's myself & here they are & also the pictures of them whilst I was recording them as well!! Having just pent the past half hour editing the files & upping the sound them making them MP3 friendly as I do this is the finished article!! I am listening to the files as I do this blog & I think they are ok? However if I have fucked them up let me know I'm lying in bed & can't be arsed checking the vinyl which is downstairs (I ripped these a week or so ago!! Time moves slowly here!! Well in all honesty I've just completed a 73 hour working week either side of two 12 hour shifts so as you can understand 100 hours almost in 9 days takes it's toll on body & mind!!! Anyway point being the first 3 tracks on War come to a total of just over 4 mins yet the other side is almost 6 mins!! Prob ok just me & my tired head!!! 

Where did they go what did they do? For me the Hardcore scene was losing a lot of it's heavyweights around this time the likes of Napalm Death switched allegiance & went on the road to being absolutely fucking shite suddenly believing that Death Metal was a great idea!! But that's another story huh? The top bands was splitting up & a new wave of Hardcore bands was coming though none really exciting me to be honest bar the likes of Filthkick who didn't last too long either! Crust, Grind & Noise had had it's day for a while!! Maybe this is why Screaming Holocaust didn't hit the heights of previous bands in a similar vein?? Maybe that's just me lets face it that was 24 years ago & well I can barely remember what I did last week!!!

RANT #2 ...... U2/Apple/iTunes


NOTE THIS RANT CONTAINS A LOT OF VERY NAUGHTY WORDS!!! (Bono, U2, Cunt's Fuck etc)

UPDATE 16/09/14: GOOD NEWS APPLE HAVE MADE IT READILY AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO GET RID OF THIS VIRUS!! FUCK YOU U2 & APPLE YOU ARE BACK IN MY GOOD BOOKS! However I'll leave my rant up for you to all realise just how much of a fucking loon I really am!!! 



Well it's been a while since I had a good fucking rant & well getting all my Apple devices infected with possible the worst virus in the history of the internet has got my back up big time & as Peter Griffin would say what really 
"GRINDS MY GEARS!"


So what am I on about well if you live on another planet? (When I say other planet well some people do live on this planet but don't know fuck all example I said to someone yesterday in work 
"I see Oscar Pistorious got away with murder" & his reply "Why what did he do?"...... I despair sometimes!)  
Here is what's happened to the unfortunate Apple account holders!



Yesterday everyone with an Apple account was either lucky enough (If you're a cunt!) or unlucky enough to be given FREE the new U2 album who are Ireland's most annoying fucking export along with St Patrick day! Just delete it then you may say NO I CAN'T this is the problem! It's on my iPhone, it's on my wife's iPhone, it's on my wife's iPad it was on my iTunes (I deleted it as soon as I seen it their!) IT'S ON YOURS AS WELL!! 

What's this Bono YOU CUNT........................................ a minute, another minute, another minute ..... it's the sound of another tweet of utter disgust from another person on Twitter who fucking hate's  YOU YA CUNT (Did I mention that?) just hash tag  #U2iTunes you'll see prob more if you use a different hash tag! 

Like most people we can accept that we’ve been given it (I wish I could do this with my band like perhaps I could be a fucking multi millionaire tax dodging cunt?) however what I cannot accept is it’s just lying there in wait on my phone next to one of my fave bands The Dickies & one of my band’s The OldGuard that’s all I have on my phone music wise (I don't use my phone for music much) oh yeah & U bloody fucking 2!! I downloaded it proper on my phone so I could swipe left to delete but guess what it won’t go it just stays there for you to still download again!! 
IT IS A FUCKING VIRUS ..........it really is!!!


I love apple I really do in fact here is my Facebook status this morning save me writing it again!


I've added the first couple of comments onto the pic there are many more on their as well but both worthy comments that I'm sure many of you agree with. 



I personally have a 120GB & a 160GB iPod, My wife has an iPad (Which she sort of inherited as hers even though it was for me haha) & we both have iPhone’s as well as all 4 of our kids (hang on one fucked up & got a different one but she’s going back I THINK!) Cornered the market in the Rose household (& outside the house they all don’t live with us like!!) However Apple I will say I am utterly disgusted & fuming that you should force this onto 800,000,000 people (accounts) worldwide!! I mean what the fuck? Just give people the option to be able to download it if they want, not just force it on them! I’m a right twat when I get a fucking leaflet through my door from some god damn pizza/takeaway place & even worse when they leave my gate open!! For the record I open the door confront them & hurl the “HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO CLOSE MY FUCKING GATE & STOP PUTTING SHIT THROUGH MY DOOR!”  I sound angry I am when they don’t close my gate..... LAZY BASTRDS!!


So the thing is U2 sit proudly in the iCloud forever waiting for the day I want it?.... Need it?.....Forgive Bono for being a tit?......Finally go deaf?......Have a skiing or car accident & smash my brain in then somehow let people know I want to listen to U2?..... FUCK YOU U2 & FUCK YOU APPLE for doing this!!! Delete this shit from our accounts NOW!! 



U2 don’t make any more music at least you was slightly original when you came out but now WOW SHIT (Oh hang on I've not listened to the new album have I 
.........NO CAUSE YOU’RE FUCKING AWFUL!) 


STOP PRESS here is how to get it off your iPhone thanks to Layla Gibbon go into your settings find music & click on!



Find show all music (see at the bottom) click it so no green like below go into your music & it's gone!! 


BUT IT'S STILL WAITING FOR YOU.....WATCHING & WAITING IN THE iCloud !!!

Zygote (Inc Stig C Miller solo)



Well I've just been lying on my bed all day cause well in the past 2 weeks (not including this weeks work prior to the weekend of 32 hours 24 more to come over the weekend) 110 hours!! So I think I deserve a doing shite all day? 
I've had a real shitty year that may finally be turning for the better so much so I've actually been able to buy music again for the first time in months & as music is my ultimate love (hope my wife & kids don't read this... come to think of it they give not a shit about my innermost thoughts!!) this is a good thing for me!!! 
I've been meaning to blog a few things all day & well I haven't & well I woke up at 7.30 so it's not like I've been sleeping though its now 7pm!! 
Anyway here is a blog I'm not a massive fan of Zygote & you can prob get their stuff around the web but fuck it I have been listening to a lot of Amebix recently (again ... who hasn't?) & well that's sort of led me onto doing a bit of Zygote as well!! 
Anyway Stig is doing some solo work which you can listen to RIGHT HERE it's fucking awesome which reminds me I must buy it now I've a couple of quid finally!! He's put it up so he can hopefully one day make a record. For me it's like a follow on to Sonic Mass which I absolutely fucking love it's acoustic but I think the final songs when properly recorded with have drums etc. 






I'm finally able to put up to date YOUTUBE video's on here !! So the vids are here as well :D 

I really like Stig's vocals very gruff, different & individual I look forward very much to the future release. I have just purchased the songs off bandcamp by the way why don't you so we can make this happen!


Well this is a Zygote blog so here is the downloads for that hope you like it??

Absence of Malice


Absence of Malice
The Awakening EP 1985 
That is all!!! 

The OldGuard


Right this is my side project The OldGuard as oppose to SKITVARLD which is my main band!! I got in touch with all the above guys in the photo from left to right Piggy (Pibby/Ian), Yours Truly my good self Agz (Both Vocals) Dave (Drums) & Petch on Guitar & anything that's lying around he will drink!! We've had a fuck up with the bass player (s) so much so we just don't care or get wound up over this shit anymore!! 
We've got people lined up we'll go through them one by one over the next few years or do what we did when we me Piggy & Petch was last together DO WITHOUT!!!


The original idea for this band was more of just having fun & wanting to make music & drink.... it's still that but it's been great to see the comradery developed with the new guy Dave with the rest of the band & the way it's clicked into place which has been great to see. We don't have plans to conquer the world, we don't have plans to tour, we don't have plans to play outside the city of Liverpool!! It's just 4 (or 5) lads making music & having fun!! 

What's the music like Agz you ask well the original idea was to do something like DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Adrenalin OD, you know Thrashy Hardcore & well it's still the idea fast thrashy HC!! But you can just make your own mind up what you think we sound like!! 

This recording is NOT PERFECT it was done in practically one take of each song well 2 at the most!! We was all just mic'ed up & we just played it live, we do plan to record these in a studio in the next few months so this is just as taster & we have 2 more songs lined up before we wanna go into the studio & record!! 


There are two ways to get this recording 
or you can just directly get it from my own personal upload 
If you have a facebook page come & join the page (click on the link in the first line of this blog!) & please feel free to share it about obviously when we record it in the studio this will be gone forever so get it while you can!! 

Thanks so much to Matt from Auralskit who came out the goodness of his heart & done this for free & in his own time.... that's a proper mate cheers brother. 

& for fuck sake don't think this is a serious photo!!
FUCK THAT MACHO NYHC & SxE BOLLOCKS it's a bit of a parody!!

K.U.K.L


Completely not punk in the true sense of the word but totally avant-garde IMO but I'll give em the Post Punk label as well (Not a big fan of that word to be honest!!) In all honesty I'm a Sugacubes fan & was a huge fan of Bjork during those years & her very early solo years what a beautiful woman with an astounding voice I just totally adored. I don't even know why I've put them on this blog but I've done it before so here they are again FUCK IT!!! 
Read about em HERE...Wiki nothing more to say from me really!

SONGULL











Electric Deads


Proper old school punk/hardcore from Denmark the 2nd Danish band on the blog currently after Kalashnikov! Female fronted as well!! From 1981 to 1984 prob before most of ya was born!!! I may even get approval from Eric Kelller here??? Though we shall see? Anyway quick blog give em a blast their records are proper expensive to obtain now so if you have em you have a little gold mine!!


Mind Bomb 1983


(Apologies for some reason I have this as ORDER ep it's just the same title don't know why I done that just chnage the name of the album in your file!!)

Anyway been going for quite some years now & Jan from Agathocles put me onto them a few years back. It's not full on grind but it is certainly in that direction. Like a speeded up crust on a lot of it!! In fact they describe themselves as Punk/Metal/Crust so fuck all to do with Grind haha! FACEBOOK
