Gout s/t 7"

This 7" was misplaced/lost somewhere in my record collection and now it popped out after quite a lot of years. It's not my cup of tea, but since the only thing that I've managed to google out about them is this I thought maybe it could be kind of rare and somebody was looking for this, so...
Thanx to Irishdave for filling in and making this post more than just a link. I'll just copy/paste what he wrote:
"I don't know much but here goes:
Gout were from my home town of Kilkenny and they started around then of 89 / begining of 1990. When I left Kilkenny it was for a few reasons but a crap music scen was one of them. Gout hadn't played at that time, but as they were more interested in the Dischord/ Fugazi D.I.Y. scene, while I was totally into the anarcho scene (and very narrow minded in musical terms) our paths never crossed. They were very good at getting bands to start playing in Kilkenny, Fugazi being one of them. They did two demos that I know of, and that single. I have been trying to find the members myself for a while, but drew a blank, as anyone interesting tends to leave Kilkenny asap."

Pink Turds In Space "The Complete Pink Turds In Space"

I almost forgot how great Pink Turds In Space were since I haven't listened to them for a few years now. One of the greatest Irish bands ever. And this is their complete works. So... What are you waiting for? Get it.
I'm not sure when this was out, but I guess it was around 1998. I haven't found out anything on the web either.

Strikniën D.C. "Songs from The Smack Cradle" 7"

I know that a lot of people are fed up with ska punk (me too), and that's not without reason 'cause there was tons of shitty bands that made the whole genre soooo boring, but...
There are always bands that stand out from every genre and Strikniën D.C. are surely one of them.
I would call this punk with ska rather than ska punk (and you won't feel guilty if you'll like it). The power of punk rock is surely here with such nice guitar tunes that I haven't heard too often and ska parts aren't boring um-cha um-cha heard it thousand times type, but they carry the tune too.
This was their only vinyl release as far as I know. They also had split CD w/Monkhouse, "Ghettoblaster" CD (with this 7" on it) and "Horses For Courses" CD. Later there was a discography which included all that plus CDR with unreleased stuff. All that stuff was released by Irish "Rejected Records".
This is the band that made me sick of the rest of ska punk and made me listen to their punk with ska A LOT during quite a few years.
This here is an excellent band.

The Dagda "Blind Kings" 7"

Irish hardcore/crust band formed in 2000 by ex-members of Jobbykrust, My Name Is Satan, Split Red and Bleeding Rectum. They recorded 6 songs in March 2000 and four of them made this earcrushing debut 7".
I got this 7" when I met a couple of Irish folks that came to "Monte Paradiso" festival in Pula (I can only remember Connor and Ken's names) and we were talking a bit about music and drinking a few bits more. I gave Ken a tape of AK47, a band from my town and later in the evening he came to me with this 7" from some distro saying: Yougoddaheerthis. After a week or two when I was finally home I've finally realised why he was so excited about it. It was blasting hardcore crust in the vein of His Hero Is Gone. The listening was truly awesome experience. It's still very much listened in my HQ.
Thanx to Ken for introducing me to this mighty band.
