X-Ray Spex "Identity" 7"

I've just found out from KYPP pages that Poly Styrene has passed away yesterday from breast cancer, less than a month after releasing her new album which was produced by Martin Glover (aka Youth of Killing Joke fame).
What I've always loved about Spex was that they were that cheerier side of punk without having nonsense lyrics like some other "cheery" punk bands had. Despite the fact that her post-Spex life went into some spiritual direction which holds no interest to me, the fact remains that the Spex were one of the most original and underrated punk bands ever.
The reason that I'm posting this record is that it's (unfortunately) the only X-Ray Spex vinyl that I own and it's the german release of their 3rd (or is it 4th?) 7". Again, the sound level is through the roof 'cause I can't adjust it through my USB pre-amp, so, until I buy some better equipment...

AOS3 "Tottenham Three" 7"

Here's a short one.
Third post by these free festival nutters from Sunderland. An amazing band and an single from an amazing label make an amazing release.
This time it's cover of The AK 47’s Tottenham Three from their "Don't Call Me Vanilla" LP and dub version of their own song To Dream The Impossible Dream (both version appeared on their "God's Secret Agent" CD).
The recording levels are quite high as unfortunately I don't have the possibility to adjust it on my USB phono pre-amp, but if you don't have this it should do you justice.
Enjoy.

Schwartzeneggar "Live In Slovenia" 7"

I guess there's no point in writing much about Schwartzeneggar as you all know that it's an all-star anarcho affair with people from Crass, Thatcher On Acid and Conflict.
What's interesting about this release is the fact that it has songs that are not on any of the studio records. I have them all on vinyl, so I'm not sure about the CDs. Feel free to fill me in.
Anyway, this plays the same two songs on both sides and is recorded live at mighty MKNŽ club in Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenia (so you can be sure that the sound is great) on 27/10/1995. Discogs page says that it came free with Fear & Loathing fanzine. Well, not in my case, but never mind.
OK. I guess that'll be it. Enjoy.

Vaffan Coulo "Di-Gymraeg Yng Nghymru" 7"

I don't know anything about this band except that they were punk band from small city of Bangor, Wales, formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1998. I've found that this 7" is sometimes reffered to as "Rich Woman" 7", but front cover says "Di-Gymraeg Yng Nghymru" so I'll call it like this. From the few things that I've found on the web it seems that they've been quite popular. You can find a couple of more songs on their MySpace and a video for Rich Woman. Any more info on the band is welcome. And if you don't know what their name means, your Italian sucks.

Ex-Cathedra/Machine Gun Etiquette/Nutcase 3-way split LP

I've planned to rip this record for quite some time now, but it always somehow slipped under the radar. Since Ex-Cathedra were mentioned in the last post and also a friend of mine kicked off with his Nečista Savjest blog after ten month break with their "2x4=" CD (which contains their songs from this record) it's about time to give it to you.
As you probably know, Ex-Cathedra were great punk/ska band from Glasgow, Scotland and are most known band of the three. After their disbanding, the members played in Fleas & Lice and all-star dub/punk supergroup Suicide Bid (actually it's more of a collective than band that also features people from King Prawn, The Filaments, P.A.I.N, Inner Terrestrials, Deathskulls, Sonic Boom 6...). I'm not in the mood for writing biography, so you'll have to do with this (it's google translated from czech).
Machine Gun Etiquette (called after The Damned album) were their hometown (drinking) buddies and they've quite often exchanged members which resulted in them playing punk with a bit of ska here and there too. They had split 10" with Juggling Jugulars, later became Scunnered and that's about all I could find out 'bout them.
Nutcase were from Kiel, Germany and I like them least. Some songs are OK - some not and scottish punks take the win here. I guess that this record was another product of a couple of bands touring together. The label Trapdoor Recordz who released this is also from Kiel.
OK. Now go 'n' get it.

WARDANCE "You're So Right/Psyche" 7"

I had this 7" lying in my drawer for ages being played maybe three times alltogether. It's not that it's bad, it's kind of Bad Brains(ish) hardcore (first track) and dub/reggae (the second track), but it's just one of those records that was always skipped when browsing through the lot. I guess you have some of those at your place too.
The band was from Peterborough, UK, the home of The Destructors, English Dogs, The Desecrators... I had no luck with finding more info about the band on the net except that they "recorded two albums & numerous singles & extensively toured Europe & north America in the mid 90’s". On the record inlay I've found that one of the albums' name is "We're All Niggas..... But Not Your Boys" and for a bit of name dropping: the drummer Spikey T. Smith played with the likes of Sacrilege, English Dogs, Morrissey, The Damned, Conflict, The T4 Project, The More I See to name just a few...
If someone has more info, please leave a comment because there's really no info about them anywhere.

Chaos U.K./Raw Noise "Making A Killing"

Four posts later it's Chaos U.K. again, only this time the reason is the band on the split side. I haven't listened to Raw noise in quite some time and since I've ripped the CD for my car I'm putting this here too.
In 1986 Chaos U.K. released excellent "Radioactive/Earslaughter" split LP with Extreme Noise Terror and this is their split with Raw Noise who were (together with Victims Of War) the base for making Extreme Noise Terror. This is their second release after the debut 7". They haven't recorded much during their existence and they had one more LP and an EP which was released this year, but I still didn't have the chance to hear it. They also say on their MySpace that they're recording new LP so be warned...
Not to bore you anymore, I'll just say this record is the part of the history and you're not punk if you don't have this. There.

Time To Think "Where The Hell Is Andrew?" 7"

Today, while I was reading post about Academy 23 LP on always brilliant Kill Your Pet Puppy website, this single was mentioned. I don't remember who I got it from, but I believe it was Pete Williams who ran the record label and played drums in the band (and later Academy 23 too). The reason why I got it I don't remember, but it should be somewhere in my boxes with old letters at my fathers place. Nevertheless, thanks to the sender since I liked the EP and listened to it a lot. The band on this recording is comprised of before mentioned Pete, Andrew Ross (from the title of the record) and Andy Martin from The Apostles / Academy 23 / Unit fame. Some other people were involved in the band too, just not on this recording. They also have a website that was last updated on 11/11/01, but is really very informative on the band, label, releases and pretty much everything you'd want to know about the people involved.
Music-wise, this is classic anarcho hardcore punk of the 90s recorded at the budget on 4-track recorder. The 7" comes in a gatefold sleeve and inside you can find posters, two essays, lyrics, blurbs... You name it - it has it. (Man, I could go into advertising industry).
Give this a go and I'm sure you'll like it too.

Assfort/Chaos U.K. "The Dangerous Study" split 12" EP

Here I am at last. Summer lazyness is still in effect even though it's not so hot anymore. I finally made myself posting again. Sorry to those of you who waited for your comments to be published, but I forgot that I've enabled comment moderation due to heavy spamming from one fucking annoying blogger. I usually don't like this comment moderation stuff, but I was really starting to get pissed off and I don't want the fucker here anymore.
OK. Now... This time it's split of Japcore and UK punk legends. Each band delivers two songs and they rip all the way. Assfort are tight as usual and I guess that this is my favourite Chaos U.K. record and even though it's only two songs they are true dirty Röckin Nöiz just the way I like it. I guess that this EP is out of print and I just cannot find Vinyl Japan website. Also you can get Chaos U.K. songs on "Kings For A Day - The Vinyl Japan Years" on Anagram.
The sound level on this rip is quite off the scale because I cannot adjust volume on my USB phono pre-amp thingy (which sucks). But this is supposed to be cranked up all the fukken way up. If you don't already have this you mustn't miss it! Now go!

Doom "Live In Japan" 7"

I can't believe that this is my first Doom post as I guess that they'd be my first post if all this this blogging thing existed some 15 years ago during my Doom craze (I guess that there are a lot more people reading this that caught the same).
Anyway, after posting live LP yestarday I remembered one live record that I used to listen quite a lot. This is recording from their gig in "Antiknock" in Tokyo that happened on 29/4/1992. First pressing had black and blue cover and second had black and white ones.
The record that starts off with Black Sabbath song gets my attention alright. Now I'll go and listen to it again and so should you.

Internal Autonomy "Inquiry" LP

First of all I have to say that this is not my rip and I've put it here because someone said that it is no longer available on Hardcore Braindeath blog (true, and it looks that all the posts from it are unavailable) where I've found it and linked in my last Internal Autonomy post. Since there's not much info on the band on the web and someone asked for this album two weeks ago I've decided to put it here. It'd be a shame for this to be lost for new listeners since peace punk can be so unoriginal and boring and this is not either one. You can find tiny bit more info on the band in the last post and now go get this.
Thanks to Mike of All Go No Slow! for sending the picture of the LP cover.

Whirling Pig Dervish "Full Feather Lovesuit" 7"

This crackling record is done by Scottish post punk outfit that I don't know much about except few facts that I've managed to google out and that is that their released output beside this 7" is one split tape with dutch band Revenge Of The Carrots and an LP "Three Small One Tall" on Flat Earth Recs. They mention The Ex and Dog Faced Hermans in thanks list so you might assume what their music could sound like. I don't know about you, but I like this a lot.

Sanctus Iuda/Sarcasm split 7"












I've already posted one Sanctus Iuda split 7" (with Dog On A Rope). This time it's split with UKs Sarcasm, also a result of a tour together. If you're not familiar with the bands, SI played really great crust (one of my favourite polish crust bands in the 90s) with lyrics often aimed against the church and Sarcasm played more noisy (Disorder kinda noisy) hardcore punk. Two of the members are in even more "Disorderish" noisy band now - The Wankys. You should check them out too. SI stuff from this and two more of their split EP's was released as "Jap Pressing: EP's Of Sanctus Iuda" on Profane Existence Far East and I guess you could still track it down on some distros.

AOS3 "Diversionary Tactics"

I had kind of computer/monitor/graphics card crash combined since last weekend and haven't ripped anything, but to make it up, here's one CD rip after a long time. It's another AOS3 release from my last order, since there were quite a few downloads of the last one. This is their second album from now defunct Inna State Records, so if you still wanna buy this, hurry to Southern Records. They still have some of them left. AOS3 split after this album, but last year they reformed and are gigging again and making new album. I hope I won't chew all my nails 'till it comes out. Enjoy.

AOS3 "On A Knight Train" 12"

This came in the last batch of music I've ordered. I thought I was buying an AOS3 single, but this is two remixes of AOS3 songs by Zion Train and Knights Of The Occasional Table (I like the later better). I guess that this won't be downloaded much as this is not where people into electronic music stop by to check out what's new (old). But if you are into it you could like this. Or if you are completist or AOS3 fan like me.

Riot/Clone "Do You Want Fries With That?" LP

Riot/Clone were anarcho punk band that started playing in 1979, then disbanded few years later, reformed in 90s and split up again few years back when the original singer moved to USA. The rest of the band carries on as Refuse/All. I've never had anything else by this band, but I've came across a review that says that this album is their best effort and I'll believe that. This record is entirely dedicated to animal liberation and it kicks the butcher ass. It starts with the dub track with animals on vocals (yes, that's right) and ends the same way too. Just read the titles of the first and last song. The album rages from the beginning 'till the end altogether with spoken word tracks and it also has some catchy tunes too. I'm singing Hillgrove for three days now. You'll find some of the best animal liberation songs ever here.
