Κοινωνική Ασυμφωνία (Social Disagreement)

Κοινωνική Ασυμφωνία (Social Disagreement) was a punk band formed in November of 1999 in Serres, Greece. They released "Echo Of Disaster" CD in 1999 and appeared on the "When The Exploitation.." compilation with two songs.

Yesterday, 10 years completed since 7/11/2001, when their singer Takis was killed in a car accident. That was when the band split-up.

Below you can listen to "Κοινωνικό Απόβλητο" (Social Waste) and "Ηχώ Της Καταστροφής" (Echo Of Disaster). Two favourite songs.

A Tribute To Malcolm Owen

Like today, on July 14th 1980, Malcolm Owen, lead singer of The Ruts, was found dead from heroin overdose in the bathroom of his parents' house. He was 26 years old.

Malcolm was a charismatic frontman with brilliant voice and his death was a major blow.

He was heroin user before The Ruts and turned back to it after his wife left him. The irony is that "H-eye" is a song against heroin use. "Dope For Guns" and "Love In Vein (don't want you in my arms no more)" are also anti-drug songs.

In 1981 The Damned wrote a song called "The Limit Club", about their deceased friend which mentions the "velvet claws" that Fox talked about with reference to Owen's heroin addiction.
