Slaughter And The Dogs : Live at the Factory (1981)

Formed during the initial onslaught of U.K. punk in 1976, Manchester's Slaughter and the Dogs were the first group to release a single (the overlooked classic "Cranked Up Really High") on trailblazing hometown independent label Rabid Records. The group's lineup consisted of vocalist Wayne Barrett, guitarist Mick Rossi, bassist Howard Bates, and drummer Mad Muffet. Gigs at the noted London punk mecca the Roxy Club led to the band's inclusion in filmmaker Don Letts' documentary of that scene, and they eventually received a contract from Decca Records. Further top-notch singles followed in "Where Have All the Bootboys Gone" and "You're Ready Now," and they recorded their debut album, Do It Dog Style, in 1978. However, disagreements with Decca and the departure of vocalist Barrett, a key to the group's sound, combined to sabotage a promising career. by Steve Huey (allmusic.com)

Toy Dolls: Twenty Two Tunes Live from Tokyo (1990)

Long-lived punk outfit Toy Dolls formed in Sunderland, England, in October of 1979, originally comprising singer Pete Zulu (born Peter Robson), guitarist Olga (Michael Algar), bassist Flip (Philip Dugdale), and drummer Mr. Colin Scott. Within a month, and after just a handful of gigs, Zulu left the group, the first in a seemingly endless number of lineup changes to follow in the coming years; with new frontman Hud lasting just one live date, Olga agreed to assume vocal duties, and the remaining Toy Dolls continued as a trio. By the time the group's debut single, "Tommy Kowey's Car," followed in mid-1980, Mr. Scott had exited the lineup as well, with a procession of drummers filling in before the arrival of Teddy Toy Doll (aka Graham Edmundson) toward the end of the year. A handful of compilation tracks including "She's a Worky Ticket" and "Deirdre's a Slag" (a potshot at Coronation Street star Deirdre Barlow) further cemented Toy Dolls' absurdist leanings, and following the exit of Teddy Toy Doll the group tapped drummer Happy Bob (aka Robert Kent, who had previously teamed with Olga in the Showbiz Kids) as his replacement, issuing a self-financed, self-titled EP in September of 1981. by Jason Ankeny (allmusic.com)

!Action Pact! : The Punk Singles Collection (1997)

This 21-track roundup showcases every A-side, B-side, and EP track released by the Essex growlers, beginning with the two cuts that debuted them (alongside Dead Man's Shadow) on the Heathrow Touchdown EP in November of 1981. From there, the CD swings into the foreboding roar of "Suicide Bag" (and its chilling B-side, a tribute to hometown Stanwell) and on through the indie hits "London Bouncers," "Question of Choice," and "Yet Another Dole Queue Song," before bidding farewell with the band's final 45, "Cocktail Credibility." In between times, their takes on "Rockaway Beach" and Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll, Pt. 2" pinpoint the musical influences that fired not only !Action Pact! but the U.K. Oi! movement in its entirety and, though some of the political sentiments seem impossibly naïve today, there's still a fury to the commitment that renders this collection an essential acquisition. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide

!Action Pact!: Mercury Theatre & Survival of the Fattest (2005)

One of the more abrasive early-'80s British punk-pop groups, thanks in large part to the siren shrieks of lead vocalist George Cheex (actually a female), !Action Pact! released only two albums before being cast to the winds during the decline of outrageous punk bands during the mid-'80s. The group was originally formed as the Bad Samaritans, which, when re-formed in 1981, included vocalist Cheex, bassist Kim Igoe (a male), guitarist Wild Planet and drummer Joe Fungus. After renaming themselves, the quartet appeared on a split-single released by Fresh Records. Radio One DJ John Peel began playing the tracks, and invited !Action Pact! to record a session at the BBC studios, after which the group released their debut album, Mercury Theatre: On the Air!, on Fall Out Records. The following year's Survival of the Fattest was the band's last, though the American industrial label Cleopatra released a collection in the late '90s. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

U.K. Subs: Live at Roxy '77 (LP)

Around this time, the up-and-coming group recorded a live set at the infamous punk club the Roxy (just prior to its closing), with hopes of the recording being issued as their debut album. Although the recording did indeed go down, the tapes sat on a shelf for several years, before eventually being issued in 1980 under the title of Live Kicks. This led to several John Peel sessions on BBC Radio One in 1977 and 1978, and eventually, a recording contract with the GEM record label, and what's often considered to be their finest recording, their 1979 full-length debut, Another Kind of Blues.

The group enjoyed success back home straight off the bat, as they had several moderate hit singles ("Stranglehold," "Tomorrow's Girls"), appeared at the mammoth Glastonbury Festival, landed a cover story for Sounds magazine, and were even the subject of a Julien Temple-directed film documentary, entitled Punk Can Take It. 1980 saw the U.K. Subs attempt to crack the U.S. market, with a few opening gigs for the Police, as a pair of studio albums were issued, Brand New Age and Crash Course. But as the public's interest began to shift from punk to new wave/synth pop in the early '80s, the U.K. Subs saw their popularity quickly begin to dwindle, as bandmembers began to come and go. The band continued on with such further releases as 1981's Diminished Responsibility and 1982's Endangered Species (among others), as the group's sound grew more and more a kin to hard rock/heavy metal. But despite almost all of the original U.K. punk groups going their separate ways by the early to mid-'80s (the Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Damned, etc.), the U.K. Subs never split up; although Harper was often the only original member left in attendance, the group continued to issue albums and never ceased playing shows. '80s-era bassist Alvin Gibbs would go on to briefly play bass for punk godfather Iggy Pop in 1988, and even penned a book about his experiences, Neighbourhood Threat: On Tour With Iggy Pop. The '90s saw the release of countless U.K. Subs "hits" collections, the best of the bunch being 1991's Singles 1978-1982 and 1996's The Punk Singles Collection.

U.K. Subs: Huntington Beach (LP - 1985)

As part of the original punk rock movement in England during the mid-'70s, the U.K. Subs scored several hit singles in their homeland, switching between politically charged material and party-hearty rockers. Led by singer Charlie Harper (who previously fronted a R&B outfit called the Marauders), the U.K. Subs formed in November of 1976, after Harper discovered the Damned. Originally called the Subversives before shortening their name, Harper recruited guitarist Nicky Garratt, bassist Steve Slack, and a revolving door of drummers (eventually finding a semi-permanent member with Pete Davis), and soon after began plotting their plan of attack from Harper's place of business, a hairdressing salon in South London.

Chelsea: No Escape (LP - 1980)

Chelsea was one of the original punk bands to form out of the mid-70s punk frenzy that marked a generation. Fronted by ex-porno star Gene October, Chelsea has gone through almost as many personnel changes as The Fall! The subject matter most often sung about was the plight of the working class and youth gone wild. The original line-up consisted of October (vocals), guitarist William Broad (better known later as Billy Idol), bassist Tony James (later of Sigue Sigue Sputnik) and drummer John Towe. After only a few gigs (and no recordings) the trio of musicians abandoned Gene and formed a band known as Generation X (which soon dissolved resulting in solo mega-star and 1980's MTV staple Billy Idol, curled lip and all). Gene briefly recruited other musicians, Chelsea varying constantly from a trio to a quintet.
By 1979 Chelsea arrived at the "classic" line-up of October (vocals), James Stevenson (lead guitar), Dave Martin (rhythm guitar), Geoff Myles (bass) and Chris Bashford (drums). This line up lasted a full two years, the longest any Chelsea line up has lasted! This was followed by several more line up changes until a temporary line-up consisting of October (vocals as usual), Nic Austin and Steve Corfield (guitars), Tim Griffin (bass) and Chris Bashford (continuing drumming duties) briefly toured the US, to be captured on film in URGH! A MUSIC WARnot included on the soundtrack LP).

Several more changes resulted in the line-up that delivered EVACUATE to our ears. EVACUATE, while certainly a commercial failure, was a critical success (at last), but Gene finally gave in and disbanded Chelsea in early 1984 and released a solo recording LIFE AND STRUGGLE continuing his theme of singing the working class' lament...

In 1999, Gene October reunited the "classic" line-up for punk event the "Social Chaos Tour." What lies ahead? We'll just have to sit back, wait and see!

Chaotic Dischord - You've Got To Be Obscene To Be Heard (1995)

Little is known about Fuck Off You Cunt, a 1984 release credited to Chaotic Dischord and distributed on the Syndicate label. Featuring fifteen songs about booze and sexual depravity, vocals are credited to "Aphrodite" (possibly Beki Bondage), and all songs on the LP were written by "Burchill."
Bristol-based Heartbeat Productions formed Not Very Nice Records and released the Dischord compilation album Now! That's What I Call A Fuckin' Racket in 1985. At this point in their career, Chaotic Dischord began to resemble an actual band, utilizing more traditional writing and recording techniques. 1986 saw the release of Goat Fuckin' Virgin Killerz From Hell, arguably their most cohesive effort. The lyrics were more intelligible and focused, and the playing and production were tighter. Regardless, vulgarity and tastelessness were at an all-time high. Songs about rape, beastiality, violence, necrophilia, animal cruelty, and poor hygiene were proudly showcased on the LP. Very Fuckin' Bad, featuring an album cover poking fun at Michael Jackson, was issued in 1988. The LP included such Dischord favorites as "Psycho Hippy Skateboard Punx" and "Where Have All The Glueheads Gone?" Nonetheless, the album was a close copy of its predecessor, and Chaotic Dischord was clearly becoming formulaic. With record sales and general interest low, the group fizzled shortly after the release.
A new generation of fans was introduced to Chaotic Dischord in the 1990s. Fuck Off You CuntYou've Got To Be Obscene To Be Heard on Step-1 Records in 1995. A "greatest hits" package was released by Anagram Records in 1996. Shortly thereafter, Anagram re-released four classic Dischord albums on compact disc. Several of the band's better-known tracks have made their way onto late-90s punk compilations. Completely unpretentious and sonically brutal, Chaotic Dischord began as a musical gag and ended up releasing some of the most anarchistic, obnoxious, and memorable music in the history of punk rock.

Cock Sparrer: Run Away (EP)

One of the first Oi! bands, Cock Sparrer was playing loud, raw, Cockney working-class anthems as early as the first wave of British punk, although record company difficulties prevented them from issuing much material until the early '80s, when the Oi!movement was well underway. The group formed in London's East End in 1975, originally as a hard-edged pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three years prior. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Garrie Lammin (Burgess' cousin), and soon began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a regular basis.

Crass (Conflict): The House That Man Built 7''

The House
This is the house that Jack built. This is the house that man built.
This is the house that you built!
THE HOUSE OF LAW, which governs the masses with its deadly regulations,crushing all forms of rebellion and free speech. The law that condemns the murderer yet glorifies the ritual of war. The law which is based on
democracy, yet ridicules the extremist. The law that is "implemented by the people" to keep the "people at bay."
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, the sacred commandments handed down by the creator, twisted and turned to suit man's lust for power and control.
The law that divides the population into controllable factions, for the governments across the earth to instigate their God-given authority over the deviants.
THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, set deep in the back of the mind, and never brought forward into this "civilised" society. The slaughterhouse with its foundations set subconsciously in the public's ignorant cowardly, traditional mind.
THE DERELICT TOWER BLOCK, the piss-ridden squat, the humble abode without the respect either of its inhabitants or its so-called "caring councils." THE PRISON, the concentration camp, to keep their power- they threaten to keep their authority- they kill, to keep their conquests- they intern to keep their respect- they torture, to revel in their glory- they enslave.
Are you a part of the cornerstones.....or the demolition team?

Conflict: Carlo Giuliani 7'' (2003)

IN MEMORY OF THE PROTESTER KILLED ON THE ANTI-GLOBALISATION DEMO. Conflict have been described as the world’s foremost activist punk rock band. In the USA, the Seattle riots and the ‘straight-edge’ punk movement have accredited Conflict as inspiration, giving an incentive to resume activities and leading to huge interest in their Mortarhate label catalogue. Last year Conflict headlined a sold out Astoria theatre in London (in memory of Barry Horne, the animal rights activist who died in prison on hunger Strike) and subsequently began writing new material.

Sham 69 : Tell Us the Truth (1996)

Side one of Tell Us the Truth was recorded live, and it's inarguably fascinating as an anthropological document, capturing the Cockney yob in his native environment, complete with football chants and a spontaneous chorus of "Knees Up, Mother Brown." Jimmy Pursey's communication with his audience is inarguably impressive, and some of the songs have a good head of straight-ahead energy (especially "Borstal Breakout"), but the sound is thin and the band seems to have a hard time getting into fifth gear.
The studio side actually sounds more impressive; the performances are tighter, Dave Parsons' guitar benefits from a bit of double-tracking, and Pursey sings more than he hectors. But Pursey was already starting to sound a bit pompous, and time has not been the least bit kind to songs like "I'm a Man I'm a Boy" and "Hey Little Rich Boy," which for all their sincerity don't say anything dozens of other bands haven't said better.Tell Us the Truth sounds passionate, belligerent, and kinda dumb, but that's an improvement over Sham 69's later work, where the band sounds overblown, strident, and really, really dumb. ** DOJO Records** Original Released Year: 1978

Sham 69: The Game (1996)

While most of the early British punk bands spoke of working-class concerns -- primarily unemployment and the shrinking U.K. economy, which was leaving a generation with nothing to do and nowhere to go -- many of the pioneering groups had working-class credentials that were suspect at best; the Sex Pistols' career was being molded by a haberdasher and would-be artist, while the Clash were led by the son of a diplomat. Sham 69, however, was different; proletarian and proud of it, Sham 69 was the voice of the people in the first wave of British punk, and if they were never as fashionable as such contemporaries as the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Wire, or the Jam (who, in their early days, shared Sham's provincial outlook and "we're with the kids" fan solidarity), they enjoyed a long run of chart successes and were a major influence on the street punk and Oi! by Mark DemingSham 69's last -- and least-loved -- studio album. Sham had just disbanded and re-formed within a couple of months, drafting in new drummer Mark Goldstein for this comeback. Musical adventurism is not something you'd readily associate with this crew, and though it was brave of Pursey to try to push his audience, fans were nowhere near ready to be pushed. Some of the songs are tolerable, just tolerable. But the absolute nadir is a gentle ballad number called, yep, "Poor Cow." Boy, did he have a way with words.by Alex Ogg

The Monsters: I See Dead People (2002)

The Monsters where formed in 1986 in small-town Bern, capital of Switzerland. Their sound is a fuzzedout mix between 60ies garage punk, wild teenage trash rockabilly and primitive rock‘n‘roll. Its 187% no MTV and top 100 shit! The Monsters are a kickass live band who will burn every stage down. Over the years The Monsters recorded 6 albums, several singles and ep‘s and apeared on countless compilations. The record „Youth Against Nature“ was recored in the now famous Toe Rag Studios (London) by Liam Watson and Robert Butler (Miracle Workers). „I See Dead People“ came with a 1000-piece puzzle, booklet, sticker and button and was allready sold out during the tour.
The Monsters appear on Voodoorhythm Records, Switzerland. The label is famous for it‘s taste and style, as it is for the beautiful artwork. Voodoorhytm is run by Beat-Man, who (by accident...) is also the singer and guitar player of The Monsters. Beat-Man played - and still plays - in other projects called Lightning Beat-Man, Reverend Beat-Man, Die Zorros and some more. As a one-man-band he toured all of europe, played venues such as Jazz Festival Montreux, Frat Shack, Dour Festival, Eurocene and Las Vegas Grind (USA) on the same bill with acts like Dick Dale, Public Enemy, Ramones, Prince, Ramstein, Bob Log III and more....Credits >>>> http://www.themonsters.ch/

The Radicts: Rebel Sound (2006)

Back in the late 80's and early 90's, the Radicts were one of the biggest punk bands in New York. They took their roots from 1977 era punk bands and punched things up. Catchy songs mixed with great sing along choruses and lots of angst. Lots of angst. In the early 90's th Radicts were cited as an influence on Rancid and Billie Joe from Green Day said they were one of his favorite bands from the East Coast. It has been out of print for almost 12 years, and has sold for big money in the collector's market. At last, it is back in print. Research >>>> http://cdbaby.com/cd/radicts

Crumbsuckers: Life of Dreams (LP - 1986)

Long Island's CRUMBSUCKERS spearheaded the mid eighties amalgamation of Thrash and Punk / Hardcore principles to define the Crossover genre. The band formed as a quartet in 1983 playing New York's A7 club and cutting a demo that June entitled 'The Crumbsucker Cave'. Vocalist Chris Notaro was ex-KRACKDOWN. CRUMBSUCKERS made an immediate scene impact with the 1986 debut 'Life Of Dreams', produced by Norman Dunn and engineered by Mike Marciano being released by Combat in the USA and Music For Nations subsidiary Rough Justice in the UK. Guitarist Robbie Koebler departed after recording 1988's 'Beast On My Back' and was replaced by CARNIVORE's Mark Piovanelli. The group also replaced original vocalist Chris Notaro with Joe Haggerty from ZERO HOUR for European touring during 1988 but eventually settled on the unknown Craig Allen.
Despite having forged a commendable reputation for themselves in late 1989 CRUMBSUCKERS became HEAVY RAIN in an attempt to pursue a more Hard Rock style. Lenihan went on to forge shock S&M Metal merchants the GENITORTURERS and vampire rockers VASARIA. Haggerty joined Arizona's KNUCKLEHEAD. The band's rhythm section of bassist Gary Meskil and drummer Dan Richardson joined heavyweights PRO-PAIN as other members founded HEAVY RAIN. Richardson later joined LIFE OF AGONY for their 1997 album 'Soul Searching Sun' and subsequently recorded two albums with STEREOMUD, a band unit in league with the STUCK MOJO credited bass player Corey Lowery and ex-LIFE OF AGONY guitarist Joey Z. Gary Meskil honoured his former act on the August 2003 PRO-PAIN album 'Run For Cover' with a re-worked version of 'Just Sit There'.
Ex-CRUMBSUCKERS guitarist Chuck Lenihan bounced back in the Spring of 2005 with a Tampa, Florida based outfit entitled GLITTER GUNS.CRUMBSUCKERS, singer Chris Notaro, guitarist Chuck Lenihan, bassist Gary Meskil and drummer Dan Richardson, joined by PRO-PAIN's Tom Klimchuck on second guitar, returned for a reunion show on August 3rd 2006 at B.B. King Blues Club in New York City to mark the 20th anniversary of their 'Life Of Dreams' album. CRUMBSUCKERS, utilising PRO-PAIN drummer J.C. Dwyer, announced February 2007 European tour dates partnered with THE ACCUSED, EXTREME NOISE TERROR and DRILLER KILLER.

Cro-Mags: The Age of Quarrel (1986)

The Cro-Mags were a hardcore band from New York City. The band, which had a strong cult following, released many records, their first two considered the most influential. They were among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal and were associated with the birth of a tougher attitude within the hardcore scene in the late 1980s. They were also one of the first hardcore punk bands associated with the Hare Krishna movement.
They first released a demo with songs that would eventually find themselves on their debut album The Age Of Quarrel (1986). The bass player Harley Flanagan and singer John Joseph were not the best of friends and eventually Joseph would part ways with the band leaving Harley to sing on the rest of the Cro-Mags releases. After The Age of Quarrel, the band released the record Best Wishes (1989). The record had a more heavy metal-influenced sound which alienated many of their fans. The band released another record Alpha Omega (1992) only embraced by the most devoted of their fanbase, and followed by Near Death Experience (1993). After suffering from many lineup changes and frequent breakups, the group finally disbanded, seemingly for the last time, after this record. However, in 2000 they released a record that would almost make up for their past two releases. With Revenge the Cro-Mags came back to their early hardcore roots with songs that were comparable to their first release plus some songs with a more melodic/punk rock feel.

Bay City Rollers: Bay City Rollers (1975)

Leslie McKeown (Lead and harmony vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar); Eric Faulkner (Lead and harmony vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin); Derek Longmuir (Drums, tubular bells, tambourine, sleigh bells, castanets); Stuart 'Woody' Wood (Lead and harmony vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano); Alan Longmuir (Lead and harmony vocals, bass guitar, piano, accordian)
* Produced by Phil Wainman.
** Produced by Bill Martin & Phil Coulter.
Notes:
A mixture of first two Euro/U.K. LP's, "Rollin'" and "Once Upon A Star", with the odd detour thrown in. Such as:
The string-less Euro single version of "Give A Little Love"; A totally different version of "Be My Baby" tan the one which initially appeared on "Rollin'";
The U.S. (promo) single version of "Summer Love Sensation" from 1974, which differs from the original "Rollin'" version of it in the way that string have been added to it.
Also, of course, we have here the "Once Upon A Star" version of "Keep On Dancing", as well as the Leslie McKeown sung versions of both "Remember" and "Saturday Night".

Well everybody else has pretty much told you what you need to know about this 7". I'll give you a story instead. you see my dad doesn't exactly like most punk rock, I've gotten him to appreciate some of it, but for the most part he only listens to typical 'dad music', hits from the 70's and 80's. well when I first turned this on, he looked at me like "c'mon josh, why are you making me listen to this again?" but then when he heard the line "when you're down and troubled, and you need a helping hand..." he burst out singing and could not believe that a bunch of punk rockers even knew who James Taylor was, let alone the fact that they were playing his music. right on.

Government.Issue: Finale

One of the longest-lived bands on the Washington, D.C., hardcore scene, Government Issue (or G.I. for short) carried the torch for traditional hardcore punk on their early records, but evolved into something more adventurous by adding bits of metal, new wave pop, and psychedelia. Frontman John Stabb (born John Schroeder) guided the group through a legion of personnel shifts and several label changes, which made their nine-year lifespan all the more remarkable. Since their demise, G.I. has remained somewhat overlooked in relation to the rest of the D.C. hardcore bands of their time, in part because their music never really fit the proto-emo bent of much of the local Dischord stable. They did have a following in the straight-edge community, although Stabb's stance on drinking was more one of moderation than absolute purity.Government Issue was born in 1981 out of the ashes of a group called the Stab, from which lead vocalist John Schroeder took what eventually became his stage name (he also went by John Stabb Schroeder on occasion). by Steve Huey

Dropkick Murphys: Boys on the Dock (EP - 1998)

The hardcore punk outfit Dropkick Murphys formed in south Boston in 1995; vocalist Mike McColgan, guitarist Rick Barton, and bassist Ken Casey comprised the original nucleus of the group, with a series of drummers passing through the lineup before the addition of Matt Kelly in 1997. After a series of EPs including Fire and Brimstone, Tattoos and Scally Caps, and Boys on the Docks, the Dropkick Murphys signed to Hellcat Records to issue their 1998 full-length Do or Die, produced by Rancid's Lars Frederiksen; McColgan exited the group soon after (he later went on to form the like-minded Street Dogs) and was replaced by vocalist Al Barr for the follow-up, 1999's The Gang's All Here. by Jason Ankeny

With their musical that has been described as "crunch pop," 30 Amp Fuse has provided their hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee with a high speed of aggressive power-pop. Debuting in 1995 with their first full-length Wind Up, the line-up of Mike Smithers (vocals/ guitar), Jason Ratliff (drums) and Joshua Bentley (bass) followed with a signing to the BMG distributed label Dedicated. Resulting in the album Saturday Night at the Atomic Speedway, 30 Amp Fuse had the production backing of The Descendants Steve Egerton and Bill Stevenson to coincide with their fast paced styling.

Bodyjar: Rimshot! (1996)

The Melbourne, Australia, group Bodyjar began life around 1991 as a blistering rock foursome called Damnation. Members were guitarists Cameron Baines and Ben Petterson, bassist Grant Relf, and drummer Charles Zerafa. The band finished a couple of demos, and then changed its name to Helium for its third. By 1994, the power pop group had settled into the name Bodyjar, signed to the Shagpile Records label, and recorded a debut EP, Time to Grow Up. The guys followed the EP with a full-length album, Take a Look Inside. There was also a change in members that year; Charles Zerafa stepped out and drummer Ross Hetherington moved in to replace him.
Through the rest of the '90s, Bodyjar reached a point of success in Australia, Japan, Europe, Canada, and the United States. In 1996, the group completed the album Rimshot! and a year later released the EP Strange Harvest. No Touch Red followed in 1998. In between recording time in the studio, Bodyjar increased its fan base by touring with groups like NOFX, Offspring, Blink-182, Face to Face, Spiderbait, and others.
In 1999, original member Ben Petterson departed from the band and was quickly replaced by guitarist Tom Read. For 2000, Bodyjar signed with EMI Records, put some bonus tracks on the debut album Take a Look Inside, and recorded a brand new album, How It Works. "Running Out of Time," "Five Minutes Away," and "Good Enough" are some of the melodic pop-punk tracks on this millennium offering. by Charlotte Dillon

The Hellacopters: Disappointment Blues (1998)

With their fierce debut, "Supershitty To The Max!" and subsequent follow-up "Payin' The Dues," the Hellacopters have definitely proved that they are a force to be reckoned with. Their sound is equal parts MC5, Stooges, and vintage Black Sabbath. Add the swagger of the Rolling Stones and a whole lot of attitude and you have two of the greatest rock records of all time in this writer's opinion. On "Disappointment Blues," the band releases some hard to find b-sides as well as three new tracks ("Heaven," "Disappointment Blues," and "455 SD"). This collection shows the band adding some more melodic vocals to the mix and even coming up with a, dare I say it, "catchy" little "pop" song in "Heaven". But don't give up on these guys yet, because they haven't lost a bit of their attitude and aggression as evidenced by their rendition of Motorhead's "Speed Freak" and tracks like "Long Gone Losers" and "Ferrytale." The rest of the tracks here will make the listener feel that they are in a time warp, from the 60's garage rock/surf influence of "455 SD" to the 70's styled, anthemic title track. Despite references to the past, they never come off sounding borrowed or regurgitated. On a sad note, this album marks the last recordings with original guitarist Dregen, who left the band last year to concentrate on his Backyard Babies. The three new songs feature the fine guitar work of Chuck Pounder as well as new permanent addition Boba Fett, who up to this point had only appeared on their albums as a session player, on Fender Rhodes and piano. However, Chuck did not accompany the 'Copters on their recent U.S. tour and in his place was the talented Matthias. Despite the recent line-up changes and major label interest following a highly successful CMJ Showcase at CBGB's last year, the Hellacopters remain one of the greatest bands that you've probably never heard. In the words of their frontman Nick Royale, "Respect the Rock!"

Daily Terror: Deutsches Bier (7-inches EP)

Each year (with the exception of 1997-2002), German punks in the thousands would converge on a city for a festival involving demonstrations, live music, and (naturally) incredible bouts of binge-drinking. These assemblies often turned incredibly brutal; most notably, a portion of Hannover was invaded at the hands of more than 3,000 punks during the 1995 Chaostage. These punks burned cars and looted shops, until 800 were arrested and the rest went home.

Daily Terror: Andere Zeiten (1999)

Founded in 1980 by Pedder Teumer, the Oi! Punk band Daily Terror didn't take long to become a hit; only a little after its inception, Daily Terror was offered several slots on the legendary No Fun sampler. However, it took them until 1982 to release their first album, Schmutzige Zeiten ("Dirty Times"). They started out on the famous AGR (Aggressive Rock Productions) label, with which many great German punks worked at that time - legends such as Slime, Neurotic Arseholes, and Toxoplasma. On AGR, Daily Terror released the aforementioned Schmutzige Zeiten, Aufrecht ("Upstanding, Rightous"), Durchbruch ("Breakthrough"), and the mini-LP Gefühl und Härte ("Feeling and Hardness"). Through hits such as "Todesschwadronen" ("Death Squads") and "Hinterlist" ("Cunning"), not to mention their incredible performance at the 1983 Chaostage* in Hannover, Daily Terror quickly became one of Germany's most respected and popular bands.
After the shift from AGR to A.M. Music, the albums Die Abrechnung ("The Reckoning, The Account") and Apocalypse appeared. They didn't seem to be of the same quality that Daily Terror's earlier releases had been, but were nonetheless respectably populated with facet-rich German Oi! Punk. After a new shift to the Impact Records label (Duisburg) in 1994, Daily Terror released the spectacular Gnadenlos Live ("Merciless Live"), re-establishing themselves as one of Germany's finest acts. Later that year, a split 7" record with Dödelhaie, another German band, was to follow. Also on Impact Records, Daily Terror's sixth studio album "Krawall 2000" (Vandalism and Unruliness 2000) showed up in 1997. Songs such as "Falscher Fuffziger" (lit: Counterfeit Fifty [mark bill] / fig: Real Crook) and "Verstörte Kids" ("Destroyed Youth") proved that they hadn't lost anything. Daily Terror took a pause in 1998 when Pedder became a father, and released Andere Zeiten ("Other Times") in 1999 to make up for the long pause. This compilation featured unreleased and rare tracks from their early years, and made way for a whole new wave of fans that has taken them into the new millenium. After 20-some-odd years, Daily Terror remain among the most famous and well-loved German punk bands of all.

Ramones: Bonzo Goes to Bitburg (12-inches EP)

"My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" is a song written by Dee Dee Ramone, Jean Beauvoir and Joey Ramone, and recorded by the Ramones in protest of Ronald Reagan's visit to a soldier's cemetery in Bitburg, West Germany1985 in May.
The visit had been criticised in Europe as well as in the United States because 49 members of the SS,
paramilitary organization that helped run the Naziextermination camps during World War II, were buried there. Some of SS members buried at Bitburg came from units that committed atrocities, including the murder of American POWs. According to White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan, in Reagan's view the majority of the soldiers who were buried at the cemetery were "simply soldiers of the German army.... There were thousands of such soldiers for whom Nazism meant nothing but the brutal end of a short life".
The lyrics are a departure from the Ramones' usual style, with a more outwardly serious content. Joey and Dee Dee Ramone had written the song with producer and former Plasmatics
bassist/keyboardist Jean Beauvoir. Joey, who was Jewish, had started on the song lyrics after being almost physically sickened by the Reagan visit, feeling that the President had disrespected the six million victims of the Holocaust by visiting Bitburg. "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" was originally meant to be the sole title of the song, but guitarist Johnny Ramone, a conservative Republican and Reagan supporter, insisted that the refrain of "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down" be the title on American releases of the song, and the reference to Reagan be in parentheses.
The song was used in the soundtrack of the film School of Rock.

D.O.A.: The Black Spot (1995)

The Black Spot does not beat out Loggerhead as best album in the nineties but comes very close. D.O.A.The Black Spot, D.O.A. is still making statements but they are able to capture the spirit that their first records had. Joey Shithead and Brian Goble's lyrics sound more grown-up but still very angry. The rage wasn't translating on albums like Murder or 13 flavors of Doom. It is easy to see the songs on The Black Spot being played live where as Murder and 13 Flavors of Doom don't seem to have any anthems. The earliest and most memorable D.O.A. songs always had a simple catch phrase that you could chant along with. They made great punk rock anthems. The Black Spot has these kinds of anthems that hadn't been present on D.O.A. in along time. Songs like "Order" are classic West Coast Hardcore made twenty years after the fact. It is amazing to see a band that appeared to have run its course come back with two solid albums in the early and mid-nineties. The Black Spot deserves to be held up with D.O.A.'s earliest work as well as their work with Jello Biafra. Loggerhead, The Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors and The Black Spot seemed to signify a Second Coming for D.O.A. but unfortunately it didn't last.

Crime: Hot Wire My Heart (7-inches - 1976)

One night in mid-1976, CRIME rolled their equipment into the Blue Bear Recording School, located a few blocks from their rehersal space. Much to the disbelief of the recording engineer, CRIME romped through both tracks and proclaimed that they wanted to record both songs "live" in the studio. With nothing else to do, the engineer turned all the knobs on the sound board up as far as they would go and let the band get on with it. He left the sound booth during the recording of the second track. Although Ricky Tractor screwed up the intro to Hotwire my heart, the band could not afford any more studio time to re-record the track.

D.I. - Surfin' Anarchy (7-inches)

D.I. was formed in 1982 and combined the Orange County punk sound with a decidedly gothic style on their debut self-titled EP. The EP featured five songs including "Richard Hung Himself" (originally recorded by The Adolescents), "Venus De Milo," "Reagan Der Fuhrer," "Purgatory," and "Guns." This EP was later reissued as Team Goon with extra tracks including versions of Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll Part II" and Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge." Their first proper album Ancient Artifacts was a more straight ahead Orange County sounding album that included new versions of "Guns" and "Purgatory" from the EP. D.I. released two more albums Horse Bites Dog Cries (1985) and What Good Is Grief to a God?What Good Is Grief to a God? commenced, guitarist Rikk Agnew left D.I. in 1987 to pursue his career with Adolescents and released two more albums (Brats in Battalions and Balboa Fun Zone) before splitting up. Rikk was replaced by Stevie DRT. D.I. released their next album Tragedy Again in 1989. After that, the band remained silent. (1988). Before recording sessions for Generally considered their best studio album, 'Horse Bites, Dog Cries' is seen as a continuance of The Adolescents famed Blue Album, with fast punk guitar riffs and vocals that suggest the hopelessness of a punk in Orange County, like the Agnews and of course Casey Royer. Tracks like "Johnny's Got a Problem", "Youth in Asia", "Imminent War" and "Hang Ten in East Berlin" demonstrate the band's real motives on this classic record.
A live album, Live at a Dive, was released in 1993. After Stevie DRT left the band, original drummer John Knight rejoined and their fifth album State of Shock was released in the following year. After touring and promoting it, the band broke up in 1995. To date, State of Shock remains the band's last full-length studio release.
D.I. reunited in 2002 with the current line-up (Royer/Chckn/Clinton/Tater) to promote the compilation album Caseyology. To date, the band has continued touring. There was talk of a new studio album, but it has never surfaced. In March 2006, Punkmusic.com announced that D.I. had begun writing and is currently looking for a new record label for the album.
The band also recently appeared on Discovery Channel's Monster Garage, and it turns out that D.I. is the shows host's favorite band. Research >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.I.

Die Toten Hosen: Zehn kleine Jägermeister (CD-single)

Zehn kleine Jaegermeister is a cutting social criticism of modern German society to the tune of "Zehn kleine Jaegermeister" Kind of a cross between "one little, two little, three little indians," and "This little piggy went to the the market". If you are mildly interested in 1)German language and lit, 2)German society, or want some good German punk music to blow off steam, this is the CD for you. First heard this in a German Language class ( wounderful stress relief) the sound historically.. back when Black Flag toured the beer halls of germany.. this band caught the sound.. infused it with the beer hall type revalry to create a truely uniquely german punk sound quite fun to listen to even if the only german u know is der weienerschnizel.

Die Toten Hosen: Warum werde ich nicht Satt (CD-single)

1982 was a black year for this country; some events are impossible to forget, such as the pathetic 1-0 defeat of the national team by Austria in the World Cup, the so-called "Wende" ("Change") in the chancellorship and the arrival of the Toten Hosen's star in the music business firmament. Nobody could possibly have guessed way back in 1982 that for the latter, this was to be the ticket to the world of wrecked hotel rooms and broken hearts.
The debut single "Wir sind bereit" ("We're ready") and "Reisefieber" ("Travelbug") were recorded in an afternoon in "Rudas Studio" in Duesseldorf, " the only place where we didn't have to pay up front and where our word still counted for something". The up-and-coming musicians had devoted themselves beforehand to the study of classic by the likes of Gary Glitter, Slade, Chelsea, Peter and the Test Tube Babies and Motorhead. Lots of study trips to London were a great help too. Thanks to Trini's brilliant business plan "let's charge more, so it will be cheaper", the Hosen were able to shower their friends for years to come with this little gem of a single. Campino remembers: "None of us could play. Andi's bass only had two strings and the drum kit didn't even have any toms!"

Some Chicken: New Religion / Blood On The Wall 7"

This is a very obscure and rare 7-inches. It's hard to find any information of this band. Even on the little vinyl disc is not any information about the band. I know they are from UK, and this is probably a '77 single, anyway this two tracks are my favorites and great songs..

Soziedad Alkoholika: Diversiones...? (1996 - Ep)

It has a total of nine versions of different importance, properly introduced to the society. The oldest theme is without any doubt, the version they did of the Canadian hard-rock group of the 70s, Bachman Turner Overdrive, which became “Motxalo”. It is a critic to the national battle of blood, the Bull Fighting. In this song, Juan is the bull and his aim is to wound the bull fighter. The lyrics are also changed following Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Fischer Zand Heitmat-Los, and now it has the title of “Itoiz, ito ez”. It is dedicated to the bloody marsh they want to build in Navarra.
“Come on, Let’s go!”(by Girlschool) becomes “Ladrón”, a direct attack to the exploiter employer. They also take revenge on Ratos de Porao (they play “Ya Guelen” live) playing “Periferia”, “Sorprendente” by the admired Leño, and they close with the Oskorri’s “Furra, Furra” in the key of folk (with banjos, violins, etc.). “Diversiones?” A bit of Fun? Yes, thank you! (Mondo Sonoro)

River City Rebels: Self Titled Promo (ep)

River City Rebels formed out of the unlikely town of Burlington, VT, in late 1997. With the original members of guitarist Dan O'Day and drummer Erik Schmidt and bassist Chris Jukosky, River City Rebels would endure a number of lineup changes before settling down with Ward Aimi (vocals), Brandon Rainier (trombone), Gabe Rich (guitar), and Dan McCool (trumpet). Resulting in a sound of street punk, ska undertones, and a politically inspired lyrical content, Victory Records eventually released River City's debut full-length Racism, Religion and War in 2000. Playin' To Live, Livin' to Play appeared the next summer. by Mike DaRonco

Charge 69: Même Direction (2002)

CHARGE 69, leader of Logo CHARGE 69the french punk-rock scene, was formed in January 1993 with Spirou (MOLODOÏ), Laurent (ex-PKRK and SKAFERLATINE) and Caps (ex-PKRK). HistoryInfluenced by the best of the second english punk wave (U.K. SUBS, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, COCKNEY REJECTS...), they do not hesitate either to add what we call white reggae in their musicPicture CHARGE 69, and it really results in an explosive cocktail.
The first (and only) vinyl recordings of this formation appears on compilation "Le bal des Vauriens" with the song "Seul". Spirou leaves the band a few months later to devote himself more to his other band MOLODOÏ.
Jeremya then takes the guitar and Sandro the vocals. The band practices more often and plays a large number of gigs before releasing its first 4 songs EP "Patchwork" pressed by four different labels: Knock Out (Germany), Pogo Stick (U.S.A.), Bronco Bullfrog (Spain) and Combat Rock in France. Chronics in the alternative press are excellents and the public reception very enthusiastic. More than 4000 copies of "Patchwork" are sold. A record for a vinyl EP.

Charge 69: Region Sacrifié (1998)

We will have to wait until June 95 to find a more stable band with the newcomers of Richard (guitar) and Gilles (vocals). This new group will remain stable until July 2001. Things are now going very fast: a lof of gigs in France, but also in Belgium, in Germany and even in the U.K. Picture CHARGE 69Many songs appear on foreign compilations, a split EP is released with the american BRUISERS. CHARGE 69 is then the only french band to be selected for a tribute to COCKNEY REJECTS (they will later participate in ANGELIC UPSTARTS and BLITZ tributes). The band being ready, it goes to the Black Box studio to record its first album with Ian Burgess. 15 dynamic songs, and at once one licence in Germany on KNOCK OUT, with many excellent reviews in dedicated press.
At the end of '98 is released the 4 songs single CD "Région sacrifiée" on Combat Rock (the vinyl version, wich will be released the next year on KNOCK OUT, will be sold at 1200 copies). The same CD will be released a second time on the same label, but with an unreleased song and 3 'live' tracks.

The Gorillas: It´s My Life / My Souls Alive 7"

The band ís understandable disenchantment with the lack of response to their best efforts led to the inevitable end of Larry Page's patronage. Nevertheless, Jesse Hector's confidence was quickly restored after he caught the attention of Ted Carroll, Dublin-born owner of the Rock On record shop in Golborne Road. Jesse had been a regular customer for a number of years, drawn in by his unlimited passion for vintage rock 'n' roll vinyl. He had befriended Ted, who was about to launch Chiswick Records as the first truly independent record label in Britain. A recording session was organised to take place in Dave Robinsonís makeshift studio, above the Hope & Anchor pub in Islington. Roger Armstrong, Ted's partner in crime at Chiswick, had volunteered as producer and a number of demos were cut, sometime in mid 1975. "Shame Shame Shame" and "Moonshine" are two killer tracks which would have made a brilliant first release but "She's My Gal," recorded later at Olympic Studios, was judged more appropriate and became the first single on Chiswick for the Gorillas, who had also decided to shorten their name in the process. Chris Townson of John's Children played drums on the session, adding a distinct British Beat feel to the overall sound, which is particularly noticeable on the wonderful "Why Wait 'Til Tomorrow," perhaps on the the greatest "unfinished" rock ballads ever recorded. Substantial press coverage followed and the band's live schedule became increasingly busy. The Gorillas had been unequivocally adopted by the punk audiences who loved their ferocious live performances at the Nashville or the Notre Dame Hall. In fact, the Gorillas seemed to act as a missing link between the more traditional, R&B orientated, so-called pub rock scene and the more violent and incisive approach the young punk bands were still trying to achieve. It was, therefore, no surprise to see the Gorillas boarding the tour bus leaving to the south of France in August 1976, along with the Damned, Eddie & The Hotrods and a few others for an appearance at the legendary Mont de Marsan Punk Festival.

The Unwanted: Withdrawal 7" (1979) - UK

Lee Wood (owner of Raw Records) on The Unwanted "Totally untogether. I should have passed on them...I've already said that The Killjoys was our best seller. The worst. That is difficult. The Unwanted (Raw 6 'Withdrawal') certainly was very limited."
Like our old friend Mr Fiend in Demon Preacher the Unwanted had a future goth luminary and Batcave owner in the shape of singer Ollie Wisdom. Classic 77 band. Some great moments for instance their cover of These Boots Are Made For Walking on the b side of Secret Police (1978 Raw) if only for the fact that it sounds like Wire. Track on Live at The Roxy - Freedom. Other great tracks Bleak Outlook and 1984. Two members later ended up in the Psychedelic Furs. Unconfirmed reports now have Ollie as an ageing dance DJ ! Sad ! Underneath is from the back of the Unwanted's Secret Past album.
THE UNWANTED WERE FIRST FORMED IN MID MARCH 1977 from a meeting between Ollie a clothes shop proprieter in the Kings Road and Mark Curzon a student at a private educational establishment. Mark knew of Ollie's guitarist requirement due to a notice pinned to the back of his vile leopard skin t shirt
After signing to Raw Records the band was as follows OLLIE WISDOM (19) Schooled in Hereford dropped from college in Hereford after serving 3 months of his sentence. Served in an office as a shipping clerk / dogsbody then left due to terminal boredom . Next year on social and selling clothes in Kings road likes girls Debussy and speed
DAVE POSTMAN(20) Likes lager and sleeping on the job. Plays cheapo fender bass copy and lent his 2nd cheapo fender to Sid Vicious. Was in Flowers of Romance with Sid.
ROBBIE(17)Little known about this enigmatic character apart from the fact that the manager stole him from PEROXIDE ROMANCE. Likes; vile clothes and his vile drum kit
All their best moments captured on retrospective - Secret Past. Good live tape of them about at The Vortex doing songs like Fuck The Jubilee. Research: http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/unwanted.htm

The Users: Sick Of You / In Love With Today 7" (1977) - UK

The Users were from Cambridge and formed in September 1976. Their sound was a mixture of The Stooges, New York Dolls, Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols. Young and with attitude - plenty of it. Other songs included Russian Roulette, Heart To Heart, Bad Decision, Slow Death (Flaming Groovies) Louie Louie, Moving In A Fast Lane and Red Hot Rag.
Cambridge was also home to Lee Wood and his record shop. "..members of The Users, who had been in the shop before, asked me if I could spare the time to come and hear them rehearse. I went along and they were a five piece. I can't remember the details but somehow we decided to make a record together. " Lee Wood Punk77 Interview
The band had only done two gigs when the first single Sick Of You / In Love With Today was released mid '77 but what a cracker. By early '78 they had still only done 11 gigs, two of them still held day jobs and they still had no equipment. They had lost the original bassist Bobby Kwok and had Pete Bevington on Bass. Undetered they released a second single Kicks In Style / Dead On Arrival on their own Warped label before eventually calling it a day though not before losing Pete Bevington and getting in Alvin Gibbs on bass.

Satan's Rats: You Make Me Sick 7" (1977) - UK

Satan's Rats were a an epiphany to me. I somehow had missed them out yet when I heard their first three singles I just thought classic punk. They were never going to be major stars but they sum up the spirit, sound and experiences of a typical UK punk band in 77-78. If I could think of a similar band I would say Art Attacks. 'Louise' (and yes the version recorded by Sylvan that Paul Rencher hates) would feature on any of my top twenty punk toons coz it is just sooooooo fab.
I view it as a privilege to be able to present to you the Satans Rats story as told by their ex lead singer Paul Rencher. Its funny, poignant and the best record of what it was like to be like in a minor punk band in the late seventies out of London. Its long but its brilliant and anyone who was ever in a band would recognise the internal wrangling and changes of band members !!! Ironically when Paul left the Rats they became The Photos, recruited Wendy Wu on vocals and became a chart success but who gives a shit about that. This is the real stuff.

The Maniacs: Chelsea 1977 / Ain't No Legend 7" (1978) - UK

As we left the boys they had just ousted Twink from the band and mutated into The Maniacs. With already a full set of material they were ready to go with Alan Lee Shaw taking over vocals. Their first gig was replacing The Rings at The Mont Marsan Punk Festival so imagine their suprise when they play and find Twink & The Rings still going and higher on the bill than them! C'est la vie !
They were joined onstage by guitarist Henry Paul a friend of Johnny Thunders. This must have appealed to the guys because back in blighty they auditioned for a bass player so Robert Crash could move onto second guitar. This never happened & they remained a 3 piece.
One good single Chelsea 1977 / Ain't No Legend (1978 United Artists). Hard driving with a stooges kind of guitar. Two tracks on the Live At the Vortex album . You Don't Break My Heart and I Ain't Gonna Be History. For me You Don't Break My Heart is The Maniacs defining moment: fantastic riff and catchy chorus. It would have made a great single. As It happened that was it for them.
Ian Dickson, Sounds photographer, became their manager and secured a deal with United Artists (home of The Stranglers, 999 & Buzzcocks) on the strength of a five track demo produced by Dave Goodman (early Sex Pistols & Eater producer) which should have led to bigger things but if they were honest I don't think they had strong enough material. The Maniacs split in January 1978. Alan Lee Shaw went onto The Physicals & Bryan James and the Brains among others. Robert Crash became a producer working with among others, The Eurythmics.

Menace: Screwed Up / Insane Society 7" (1977) - UK

Menace are the best punk band in England today!" enthused Sniffing Glue way back then. Menace were one of the wave of punk bands to explode out of the London scene in the summer of '77. They epitomised everything about that incredible year. they played all the main punk gigs like the Roxy, Hope & Anchor and Vortex, as well as Rock Against Racism festivals, building up a large following which was boosted by regular support slots with Sham 69. They were pure punk!
Initially signing to Illegal Records, their first charting single was 'Screwed Up/Insane Society'. However, their second single 'GLC' was much more controversial. It was a superb rant against the then Tory-run Greater London Council which tried to ban punk gigs in the capital. It was hard hitting with it's take no prisoners 'you're full of shit!' lyrics and was promptly banned my many radio stations. Three more singles followed, but by now, 1979, trouble was brewing. Fascist attendance at Sham 69 gigs, hostile press borne out of ignorance finally led Menace calling it a day. " From Vinyl Japan
With a band this good 5 singles in two years and 3 record labels was not enough. Still if not quantity then quality because every song is classic style punk; catchy, basic and lasting. Play them to death. Everyones a winner. Are there no demos or anything ? !
Screwed Up / Insane Society (1977 Illegal Records). Last Years Youth / Carry No Banners (1979 Small Wonder) GLC / I'm Civilised (1978 Small Wonder). I Need Nothing / Electrocution (1978 Illegal). The Young Ones / Tomorrows World / Live For Today ( 1978 Fresh Records).

The Killjoys: Johnny Won't Get to Heaven 7" (1977) - UK

The Killjoys were one of the finest punk bands thrown up in the UK 1977 explosion. Energetic, frenetic and just a single piece of plastic to show for it. But what a record! Johnny Won't Get To Heaven is up there with the best in its class.

Lockjaw: Radio Call Signs / The Young Ones 7" (1977) - UK

Its a another Raw signing but this time a drop in quality. Recorded two singles the first being Radio Call Sign / The Young Ones (1977 Raw Records). Average sounding but like the Angelic Upstarts makes a total mess of Cliff Richards 'Young Ones'. Some songs should never be covered ! Their next single Journalist Jive / I'm A Virgin / A Doonga Doonga (Raw 1978) was unfortunately no better.
Band featured Simon Gallup, later to go on and join The Cure.

Art Attacks: I Am A Dalek / Neutron Bomb 7" (1978) - UK

Formed by Edwin Pouncey & Steve Spear, two students from The London Royal College Of Art, The Art Attacks lasted roughly from April 77 to March 1978. For initial rehearsals and demo Rick Slaughter was on drums (played on Punk Rock Stars and was later in The Motors) and Rob Smith on bass (ex Snakes). For a time Robert Gotobed was on drums (later Wire) and played on the track Rat City. The band eventually became:
Edwin Pouncey (aka Savage Pencil) - Vocals.
M.S - Bass. Steve Spear- Guitar. JD Haney - Drums (Later Monochrome Set)
M.S. was Marion Fudger ex of The Derelicts and writer for feminist mag Spare Rib. She was so embarrassed to be in the band she went under the name M.S. Edwin contributed the cartoon Rock'n' Roll Zoo to Sounds which meant The Art Attacks got a fair bit of press...in Sounds. When the stripper girlfriend of the owner of Albatross records decided to shake her booty at their gig at the Marquee complete with whip they got even more press! Much to Marion's further embarrassment as they mistakenly thought the stripper was her! Two singles: I am a Dalek/Neutron Bomb (1978 Albatross) described succinctly by the New Musical Express as "The musical imagination of half a protozoon" 13.5.78 and Punk Rock Stars/Rat City (1979 Fresh). The latter was released after the band split up. Both singles are fantastic and superb punk rock.
They also featured on the Live At The Vortex album with Frankenstein's Heartbeat and Animal Bondage and on the excellent Streets compilation with Arabs in Arrods. They got on the latter through their manager knowing The Lurkers who also appear on the album . Edwin also did the artwork for The Streets album and The Lurkers Freak Show single.
The Art Attacks were a clever and funny band who, despite tours supporting bands like The Motors, Generation X and 999, got nowhere. When Pouncey left in '78 to finish his degree it was the end of the band. The plan was for each member to start a new band each called the Art Attacks. This never happened ! Instead they recorded a single as The Tagmemics in 1980 and played one gig supporting The Monochrome Set in 1979 before finally calling it a day.

Blitkrieg Bop: First Single 7" (1977) - UK - Lightning reissue

Legends in their own lunchtime. They made one single that sold out of its initial release of 500 and then re-released it on Lightning Records. In my copy of Teeside Smells , a local fanzine, their entry is about 30 lines long detailing every gig they ever played and on and on and on and on right down to what colour underpants they had on on what night.....riveting ! Mind you it was written by their vocalist Blank Frank under the pseudonym of Prince Splaff ! As if that isn't enough I have heard that as well as the compilation CD there is a cd about released by the band with a 50 page booklet again by Blank Frank !
Formed in late 1977 in Cleveland UK taking their name from the Ramones song of the same name and it was between them and a band called Dogdirt who was the first punk band. Great first single Let's Go / Life is Just A So So / Bugger Off (1977 Mortonsound & Lightning). Compilation cd - Top Of The Bops - available of odds and sods. At their best they sound like a raw 60's garage punk band and that's a big compliment. More energy than expertise and really that's all you need.
Blank Frank -Voc.
Gloria - Guitar.
Mick Sick - Bass.
Nicky Knox - Drums.
Mickey Dunn - Guitar.
Blank Frank. "Our first penned song was entitled 'Bugger Off', a succinct send up for the rock'n'roll minimalist, it was an example of anti-art...The three lines were written only to rhyme with each other 'You think I'm a bloody fool / You laugh at me you think it's cool / You wanna throw me in a muddy pool / Well Bugger off' " What can you say ....but very dada !!!!!! On 'Lets Go'..."It was well received by the press even though it was a home recording of a song that was written in five minutes." From Teeside Smells 1

The Vandals: My Girlfriend's Dead 7"

Orange County punk veterans the Vandals traced their roots back to the earliest days of their local scene, but didn't really make much of an impact as recording artists until the '90s. By that time, their snide, terminally juvenile humor and catchy punk-pop had done a great deal to set the tone of Orange County's thriving punk and ska scene. Clear spiritual forefathers of bands like the Offspring, blink-182, and Less Than Jake, the Vandals took their cues from early punk comedians like the Dickies and the Descendents, ratcheting up the wiseass factor and delighting in dumb, lowbrow jokes. Sometimes satirical and mostly silly, the Vandals also remained staunchly independent for their entire career, releasing records on a variety of punk indies that afforded them financial and creative control. by Steve Huey

Eddie & The Hot Rods: Curse of The Hot Rods (1990)

Arriving during the waning days of pub rock, Eddie & the Hot Rods helped usher in punk rock in the United Kingdom. Working from the same bluesy, Stonesy three-chord foundation as contemporaries like Dr. Feelgood, the Hot Rods were faster, tougher, wilder and louder than any other pub-rock band. They also celebrated adolescent abandon, unlike their peers, who usually concentrated on working-class subjects. Developing a substantial cult following by touring the pub circuit relentlessly, Eddie & the Hot Rods, with their fast, tough rock & roll, made the pub-rock taverns more willing to book wilder acts like the Damned and the Sex Pistols, thereby firing the first shot in the U.K. punk revolution. They also made some inroads on the pop charts with their 1976 debut EP Live at the Marquee and the singles "Teenage Depression" and "Do Anything You Wanna Do," but by the time the latter reached the Top Ten in the summer of 1977, Eddie & the Hot Rods and their bar-band demeanor had already begun to appear outdated. The group's following declined sharply over the next two years, and they disbanded in 1980. Although they never wound up as stars, the band undeniably made an impact in the birth of punk rock. by Stephen Thomas (Allmusic)

Eddie & The Hot Rods: Get Your Rocks Off' (2002)

In their prime and at their best, Eddie & the Hot Rods might well have been the greatest live band you ever saw. Other bands had better songs and other bands were better musicians. But in terms of streaming adrenaline, compulsive dance-ability, and sheer good-time rock & roll energy, the Hot Rods could run sneering rings around any of rock's higher-lauded concert gods, which means the virtual absence of any true document of their peak has frustrated fans for far too long. Two live EPs released in 1976-1977, after all, only hinted at the glory, but salvation is finally at hand, as Get Your Rocks Off plugs the gap with almost demented flair. The actual sound recording leaves a little to be desired; the mix is muddy and Barry Masters' vocals float far too high above his bandmates. But the earliest-known recording of the group in concert, from Paris in early June 1976, nevertheless captures the band in full flight, hammering through bleeding-raw recountings of songs that would be polished for their debut album ("On the Run" received one of its first-ever airings here), and crunching with joyous disrespect across some of history's most sainted sacred cows. "Gloria," "Satisfaction," "The Kids Are Alright," "Bye Bye Johnny," "Get Out of Denver," and, introduced as the band's next single, "Wooly Bully" are the sound of a garage band stepping onto the forecourt for the first time, all spiky guitars and locomotive percussion, and so high on wired enthusiasm that the CD's sonic flaws don't even register after the first few minutes. This is punk rock as it was originally conceived, this is rock & roll as it ought to be performed. And, compared to Eddie & the Hot Rods, everyone else was simply throwing their teddies out of the pram. by Dave Thompson (Allmusic)

Attak: Zombies (1983)

Inspired by Blitz's "All Out Attack" 45 guitarist/vocalist Gary Basnett, drummer Lindsay McLennan and bassist Chad Chadwick formed ATTAK in early 1981 in New Mills. Cheshire at the time a hot bed for Oi/Punk activity as it was also home of THE VIOLATORS and BLITZ. By constantly pestering No Future Records with copies of their demo ATTAK managed to get onto volume 1 of "The Country Fit For Heroes" compilation 12" which showcased new unsigned Punk talent. The bands "Blue Patrol" track was received well enough for No Future to ofter the band a three single, one LP deal in July '82.

The Woggles: The Zontar Sessions (1994)

Drawing their inspiration from the raw nostalgia of '60s rock, the Woggles added their own hybrid of surf, R&B, rockabilly, and blues upon their 1987 formation. Based out of Athens, GA, the band eventually released a handful of EP on Zontar, Estrus, and Lance Rock Records between 1990 through 1993, Estrus Records packaged the bands first full-length, Teen Dance Party, in 1993. Following the Zontar Sessions album a year later on Estrus, Telstar Records put out the Woggles third full-length, Get Tough, in 1997, amongst another batch of 7"s in between. The mini-album Wailin' With the Woggles came out on One Louder Records the following year. By Mike DaRonco

The Ventures: Apache

Not the first but definitely the most popular rock instrumental combo, the Ventures scored several hit singles during the 1960s -- most notably "Walk-Don't Run" and "Hawaii Five-O" -- but made their name in the growing album market, covering hits of the day and organizing thematically linked LPs. Almost 40 Ventures' albums charted, and 17 hit the Top 40. And though the group's popularity in America virtually disappeared by the 1970s, their enormous contribution to pop culture was far from over; the Ventures soon became one of the most popular world-wide groups, with dozens of albums recorded especially for the Japanese and European markets. They toured continually throughout the 1970s and '80s -- influencing Japanese pop music of the time more than they had American music during the '60s.

The Insomniacs: Wake Up! (1995)

New Jersey's mod power pop trio the Insomniacs formed in Englishtown in 1989 when their previous incarnation, the Tea Club, fizzled out after a year of rehearsals and infrequent gigs. By 1991, the group, made up of brothers David Wojciechowski (bass) and Robert Wojciechowski (guitar) and drummer Michael Sinocchi, released their debut 7", My Favorite Story, on Umbrella Records. The Time Ticks By and Going Out of My Mind singles followed, and in 1994, the band put out its self-titled EP on Estrus, known among fans as "the ghoul record." The next two years brought the Sylvia Gray and Already Down 7" records. The band's first album was delayed by the infamous Estrus warehouse fire, but in 1997, the Insomniacs finally debuted their first full-length of catchy munster rock, Out of It. The groovy, shag carpets and mood rings follow-up, Get Something Going!, arrived on the scene in 2000, and the similarly fabuloso Switched On! appeared in finer record shops in 2004. by Charles Spano
