the VIBRATORS: Guilty & Alaska 127 (2001) @ 192 kbps

One of punk rock's longest running bands, the Vibrators emerged from the UK punk scene in 1976 and quickly found themselves sharing the stage with such notable acts as the Sex Pistols. Their initial releases were minor hits in England, and the band was able to weather frequent lineup changes, which started with bassist Pat Collier's exit in 1977, until 1980 when the band called it quits. But, as with most UK punk acts, reformation was in the cards. The original lineup came back together in 1982 and released the LPs Guilty and Alaska 127.
The original lineup of Ian Conochan, Pat Collier, John Ellis, and Eddie the Drummer was hit again with more turnover during the 1980s and 1990s. By the time of the band's 20th anniversary, Mikcie Owen (guitar), Mark Duncan (bass), Nigel Bennet (guitar), Darrell Bath (guitar), and Nick Peckham (bass) had all been associated with the Vibrators. In 1999, the more stable three-piece lineup of the band made their way across America with fellow punk veterans the Misfits, the Exploited, and the U.K. Subs.
While most of their albums in the 1980s and 1990s were overlooked, the early catalog was enough to keep them fueled for more than 20 years. The Vibrators released a live collection and a rarities disc in 1999 on Gig records.
In 2001, Anagram released Guilty/Alaska 127, which contained two albums -- Guilty (1983, originally issued on Anagram) and Alaska 127 (1984, originally on Ram) -- by the Vibrators on one compact disc..... by Chris True, All Music Guide

RYKER'S : From Cradle to the Grave @ 160 kbps

Bringing out the style of New York hardcore to their home country of Germany, Ryker made their debut with the EP "Payback Time" in 1993, a release that paid homage to the sound of their heroes Sick of it All, Slapshot, the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, among others. Following the release of their 1994 full-length "Brother Against Brother" and the "First Blood" EP in 1995 -all of which were put out by Germany's We Bite Records- Ryker's first full-scale tour of Europe soon came about. For the next two years, the band moved on to Warner Brothers, who released their next two full-lengths -1996's "Ground Zero" and 97's "A Lesson in Loyality"exclusively in Europe. After a two year hiatus and another label change to Century Media Records, the members Kid D (vocals), Chris (bass), Grobi (guitar) and Meff (drums) made their American debut with their fourth album Life's A Gamble...So is Death in 1999.... by Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

FUGAZI : Steady Diet Of Nothing (1991) @ 192 kbps Re-Up!

This is punk rock slowed down to a lope, transformed into angry meditations on, well, a number of things--sometimes alienation, sometimes the fashion industry, and sometimes things too vague really to specify. Fugazi are always interesting, if only because of their absolute willingness to overturn every established punk rock convention (and what could be more punk rock?). On this record, inventiveness generally outpaces quality, and protest songs without catchy melodies--for all their good intentions--are pretty quickly forgotten. Regardless, their trademark staccato guitar attack and fractured rhythms are here in force, and at least two songs, "Reclamation" and "Nice New Outfit," rank with their best. --Percy Keegan

DESCENDENTS : I Don't Want to Grow Up (1985) @ 192 kbps

What's to be expected given the title track, with a hilarious 'nyah nyah!' line on top of the chorus! Give a closer ear to the song, though -- where the reason not to grow up is that it might "mean being like you" -- and the band's core message of having fun and dealing with things as best one can in a stupid society is still there. When the four want to be straight up and perfectly poppy, they can and do with smashing success, with surprisingly mature, emotional lyrics and playing that doesn't rely on all-speed all the time. "Can't Go Back" is a great lost power-pop classic, with some of Aukerman's best singing, a wonderful chorus and a tuneful reflection on not reliving past mistakes. "Christmas Vacation" is another winner, a heartfelt and sharp depiction of a relationship on the skids with some great, melancholy harmonies, while "My World" draws on Aukerman's college years with a tale of personal frustration in an unfamiliar locale, all while rocking hard and strong. For all this there's ridiculous humor everywhere -- thus "Pervert," which is at once frank and funny, saying "I'd hate to think that romance is just a pose/But all I want to do is rip off your clothes." "Rockstar," which immediately follows, is a hyperspeed trashing that's the understandable sequel to "Loser," demolishing the title character with a series of brief putdowns before concluding with a drawled "Let's exploit rock and roll to its fullest potential." But of course.... by Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

BUZZCOCKS : All Set (1996) @ 192 kbps

Hooking up with Neill King as producer for All Set was an amusing turn on the part of the Buzzcocks, given that King had engineered Dookie, the breakthrough album from open Buzzcocks worshippers Green Day. Apparently the group felt a little acknowledgement back was in order, even going so far as to record the album in that trio's stomping ground, Berkeley, CA. Far from trying to capture the MTV audience with a variation on "Basket Case," though, the quartet here sounds like -- the Buzzcocks, if again essentially the pop-friendlier side of the band. Opening song "Totally From the Heart" is actually one of the strongest numbers yet from the newer version of the band, with a great chorus and all-around soaring crunch. King definitely earns his pay with his producing and engineering work; things haven't sounded this crisp and clear for the band even since the late '70s. The Barber/Barker rhythm section has by now well settled in, with Barker in particular showing more individual flashes and flair than before. Shelley and Diggle throw in a couple of almost mainstream guitar solos along the way, but otherwise are as dedicated as always to the virtues of high-volume, brisk poppiness. Happily, hints of trying to breathe once again beyond the basic formula do crop up here and there. Hammond organ adds a nice extra touch here and there, as on the lower-key groove of "Hold Me Close," one of Shelley's tenderer love songs, while Diggle pulls off a rock-of-the-gods epic start for "Playing for Time." The concluding two numbers both have something to them in particular -- "Pariah" has a quirky rhythm crunch to it à la "Sixteen," while Diggle's "Back With You" starts off with an acoustic guitar and turns into a string-synth-swept declaration of love. Otherwise, it's generally effective business as usual.... by Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

DAYGLO ABORTIONS: Feed Us A Fetus (1985) @ 192 kbps

Like quality blues records, quality punk records often have careers punctuated with messy legal suits. To reduce such a story to its simplest terms, Feed Us a Fetus -- festooned with its classically derisive and inflammatory cover of the Reagans seated before a fetal meal -- was lost in limbo when Fringe Records sued the Dayglo Abortions for 750 million dollars. Finally triumphant (not the typical outcome in such scenarios), the record is now available through God Records, run by Dayglo Abortions drummer Jesus "Bonehead" Whitehead and part of A&R Records International. The '80s recordings marked a high-water mark in tight hardcore musicality marked with controversial, rabid, radical anti-Republican sentiments and a healthy dose of anti-Christian venom. Remember "Argh Fuck Kill," "Stupid World," "Kill the Hosers," and "I'm My Own God"? ("Kill the Hosers" was a bit of an exception for the group, so full of bully-like pro-mosh pit violence it was rarely performed at U.S. appearances.) Well, these post-punk party anthems are all here, fully remastered and including two unlisted bonus tracks. One is extremely muddy in production -- it doesn't sound like the Dayglo Abortions. The only words distinctly understandable are "bitch," "rape," and "kill." It could have been easily left off. The second bonus track is very Dayglo Abortions-sounding and contains the lyric, "I'm whiter than Hitler/But ain't no f***in' Nazi." This record is one of the classics of North American punk and hardcore....by Tom Schulte, All Music Guide

VARUKERS: How Do You Sleep ? (2000) @ 192kbps

Banda de Punk/Hardcore do Reino Unido. O Varukers surgiu na segunda geração do Punk Rock britânico juntamente com ícones do movimento como The Exploited, GBH e Discharge. Após o início do Punk Rock clássico com bandas como The Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers ou Sham 69, o Varukers entre outros grupos que iniciaram suas atividades em meados de 1979, se caracterizavam pela sonoridade mais agressiva e suja que foi logo classificada como Hardcore. Em 1981, o grupo gravou seu primeiro single e tocou muito no circuito de pubs do Reino Unido. Com algumas turnês pela Europa na bagagem, muitas mudanças na formação e vários problemas de ordem pessoal, o vocalista e fundador do grupo Rat, decidiu dar um tempo, e em 1985, o Varukers parou com suas atividades. Em 1993, Rat resolveu reformular o Varukers, quando voltaram na ativa com força total até os dias de hoje. Em 1994 firmaram a volta aos estúdios com o single Nothing´s Change e em 1995 regravaram vários clássicos lançando o álbum Still Bollox, but still here! Enfiaram o pé na estrada e ficaram 3 anos em turnê, passando por grande parte da Europa, Japão, Austrália e EUA. Em 1997, finalmente um álbum com mísicas novas foi lançado. Murder trouxe de volta o nome do grupo ao meio com shows memoráveis, em São Paulo dividiram o palco com Gritando HC, Olho Seco e Ratos de Porão. Após esta turnê, eles não deram uma parada, e tocaram sem parar pelo mundo todo. Em 2000, eles gravaram um novo álbum pelo selo nova-iorquino Go-Kart, intitulado How Do You Sleep????, seguido de novas turnês nos EUA e Europa.

VARUKERS: Bloodsuckers (1983) @ 128kbps

The Varukers are an anarchist hardcore punk band formed in 1979 by vocalist Rat. The Varukers originally split in '88 as the various members went their separate ways. But in '93 vocalist Rat decided to put the band back together. Stylistically their music resembles the traditional UK82 style exemplified by bands such as GBH and The Exploited. Since the band had former members of Discharge, a definite D-beat sound developed as time went on. The band has gone through many line-up changes over the years with the only constant member being Rat on vocals. They have recently released a retrospective CD on SOS Records.
Still to this day they continue to tour rapidly all over the world, even with Rat splitting his time between them and Discharge. They shared a headlining spot with such acts as Broken Bones, The Adicts, Vice Squad and GBH at this year's ill-fated British Invasion 2k6 concert festival in San Bernardino, California which ended in mass rioting and alleged police brutality.
They are currently writing new material for a new album to be released in the near future.

RASTA KNAST: Bandeira Pirata (2002) @ 192 kbps

RASTA KNAST foi formado por Martin K. (ex-WONDERPRICK) e Höhnie (ex-PISSED SPITZELS) em janeiro de '97. Em apenas um mês, eles gravaram o compacto "Probegepogt". A banda ainda era um duo (Martin K.: bateria, guitarra, baixo e vocais - e Höhnie: guitarra e vocais). Surpreendentemente o EP foi um sucesso e se esgotou em pouco tempo.
Em janeiro de '98, durante a produção do primeiro LP, "Legal Kriminal", Konrad (ex-ABSTÜRZENDE BRIEFTAUBEN) juntou-se à banda como baixista. Para os shows, eles chamaram o batera Carsten (ex-EMILS) e, mais tarde, Eric (ex-GAINSAY!). No outono de '99 o RASTA KNAST lançou o álbum "Die Katze beißt in Draht" ("O Gato Morde o Arame") que pulverizou o disco anterior, "Legal Kriminal". Em março de 2000, Eric sai da banda por problemas na coluna. Por sorte, eles encontrar o batera Phil, do ANTIKÖRPER, que era mais rápido e técnico, e que continua no RASTA KNAST até hoje.
Foi com essa formação que eles vieram pelas primeira vez ao Brasil e fizeram shows memoráveis (com o Olho Seco no Hangar 110, com o Agrotóxico e Calibre 12 no Alternative, etc). O CD "Die Katze beißt in Draht" também foi lançado
aqui pela Red Star Recs.
Depois da tour brasileira, o baixista Konrad sai da banda por problemas de saúde.
Em março de 2000, eles lançam um compacto ("Turistas Alemanes Asesinos") com 2 músicas próprias e 3 covers de antigas bandas da Espanha. Todos os álbums do RK são produzidos por Martin em seu estúdio DNA e ele também cuida da parte gráfica. Pouco depois da saída de Konrad, Höhnie deixa o RK por problemas pessoais. Os substitutos são Florentin (ex-THE ANNOYED) e Thomas do FFA. Além de tocar, esse novos integrantes também cantam e enriquecem o trabalho da banda.
Depois de split com a banda sueca TROUBLEMAKERS, o Rasta grava seu terceiro LP: "Bandera Pirata". O álbum saiu simultaneamente na Alemanha e no Brasil. Por aqui, o título foi aportuguesado - a pedido da banda, claro - e ficou "Bandeira Pirata". Para promover esse lançamento e tomar muitas caipirinhas, o Rasta Knast voltou ao Brasil e se surpreendeu com sua popularidade por aqui. Tocaram para 700 pessoas no Hangar 110, em São Paulo, com todo mundo cantando junto (em alemão inventado, claro!).
Em 2003, o RK concretizou um projeto que tinha tido com o Agrotóxico, quando estes excursionaram na Europa: gravar um split em que uma banda cantaria no idioma da outra. Assim, saiu "Marcas da Revolta", que mostra o Rasta interpretando (em português!!) covers maravilhosos de Cólera, RDP, Inocentes, Agrotóxico e Zumbis do Espaço.

G.B.H.: The Punk Singles 1981-1984 (2002)

The influential, long-lived punk metal band G.B.H. rose to prominence in England during the early '80s when hardcore punk began inching toward heavy metal. Originally formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, G.B.H. initially called itself Charged G.B.H. to differentiate itself from another band called G.B.H. The leather-clad, hair-spiked foursome began recording for the Clay label in the early '80s, releasing some singles before unleashing their influential debut album, City Baby Attacked by Rats, in 1982. City Baby's Revenge followed two years later in 1984, by which time the band had become one of the leading punk metal bands of the era. G.B.H. continued recording and releasing albums throughout the '80s, though their influence progressively waned as a new wave of bands such as Slayer emerged and pushed punk metal toward what became known as speed metal and, in turn, thrash. Despite its waning influence, G.B.H. soldiered on, recording new albums throughout the '90s and into the next millennium. By this point the band was often cited by both metal and punk bands as a huge influence, and a renewed interest in G.B.H.'s early recordings resulted.by Jason Birchmeier

the VIBRATORS: Pure Mania (1977) @ 256K

The Vibrators are a long-lived British punk rock band, formed in 1976. Originally, they were comprised of Ian "Knox" Carnochan (born 4 April 1945 in London), bassist Pat Collier, guitarist John Ellis, and a drummer known as "Eddie" (John Edwards).
They first came to public notice at the 100 Club when they backed Chris Spedding in 1976. On Spedding's recommendation, his record company, RAK, signed them. They released their first single, "We Vibrate", produced by Mickie Most, and also backed Spedding on his single "Pogo Dancing". The next year they supported Iggy Pop on his British tour. They signed to Epic Records and released their follow-up single "Baby Baby".
Despite numerous line-up changes, The Vibrators are still touring to this date, as a three-piece: Carnochan & "Eddie" being the only original members. They have also been largely supported by bands from local areas, including The Front.
During the 1980s, John Ellis recorded and toured frequently with Peter Hammill, and subsequently The Stranglers, eventually joining the latter full-time during the 1990s.
The Northern Irish punk / rock band, Stiff Little Fingers, took their name from a Vibrators song.
Their discography is notable for adding a vast haul of live albums, outtakes round-ups, and best-ofs. One of the more recent is Live Near The Seedy Mill Golf Course, released in the UK by Invisible Hands Music in 2003.

ELECTRO HIPPIES: Play Fast or Die (1986)

The band was formed back in 1985 by Simon (drums) and Bruno (bass) withe the intention of playing fast/aggressive hardcore punk with a metal influence. Andy (guitar) joined with Phil (guitar) and Kate (vocals). This line up lasted one rehearsal as Kate went back to America and Phil left as well. The remaining members carried on as a 3 piece. The first gig was played during '85 in Liverpool. Then in '86 Phil came back as 2nd guitar and Jeff joined on vocals. But Phil left the band again for his own reasons.
The 'Killing Babies is Tight' Demo *1 was then recorded and the band were asked to record a self financed split 12" with Generic. This was done. Bruno and Jeff departed the band towards the end of '86 and Dom came in on bass. In January 1987 the 'Killing Babies for Profit' Demo *2 was recorded. The band gigged and went to Europe etc. and at the end of '87 the band recorded the LP 'The Only Good Punk' for Peaceville Records. Simon then departed the band. Whitey took his place on drums at the beginning of 1988. The band rehearsed and gigged etc. Then on the 15th April 1989 the band played their final/ultimate/last ever gig at Planet X in Liverpool before splitting.... link >>>

HUSKER DU: Northern Lights (Demo Tape) 1979

Studio demo. These tracks, which also appear on the collection circulated as "Savage Young Du," were recorded by Colin Mansfield, who was kind enough to provide the following background info: "I was involved in recording most (probably all -- it's a long time ago) of the recordings made in the basement of Northern lights. Both Greg and I were working there (Greg in the record/head shop, and I was setting up Twin Cities Imports in the basement). My band at the time, Fine Art, had already released an LP and was getting some radio play, and the boys (well, Greg and Grant, I think Bob was satisfied with their choice) asked me if I would record and produce some demos for them. (I owned a 4-track reel-to-reel, a mixer and mics and was more than happy to help out some friends). Anyway, the sets [on the 'Northern Lights' and 'Colin Mansfield' demos] are pretty much the same thing and while it may be of interest to collectors to separate them out, I did record more than the three tunes [listed as 'Colin Mansfield Demos']."

the RUTS: The Crack (1979) @ 320kbps

The Ruts... Pretty much one of the best bands ever, and completely underrated. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the fusion of punk and reggae/dub. The song Jah War perfectly personifies the marvelous hybrid that is punky reggae music (even though the title confuses me). It is a shame that the Owen died before they could record again, but that doesn't stop you from getting the album they did with Mad Professor as the Ruts DC (even though you will have a hard time findin it at a decent price). But back to the review, this album is superb. Jah War is by far my favorite track (think Johnny Was by SLF or White Man (in Hammersmith Palais) by the Clash) and is also politcally charged. Other notably good tracks are Babylons Burning (obvious Clash influences) and SUS, both sharp critiques on British society. Just get this album now, whether you are a punk or a Rasta. I also suggest any album by the Clash, the Slits first album, Forces by the Terrorists, Rhythm Collisoin by the Ruts DC vs. Mad Professor, and Y by the Pop Group (strictly dub influences on this one).

BUZZCOCKS: Modern (1999) @ 320kbps

The Buzzcocks emerged from Manchester in the late 70's with their self released EP "Spiral Scratch". From there they rode the punk wave, releasing a string of brilliant singles (collected in "Singles Going Steady"). But while they wore the punk mantle, they were essentially a pop band that embraced punk's energy and sense of humor. They disbanded in the early 80's, and after various solo outings (Notably Pete Shelley's "Homosapien" and Steve Diggle's "Flag of Convenience"), sank into obscurity.
A complete box set ("Product") appeared in 1989, and in the early 90's the band regrouped for a tour. 1993 saw Shelley and Diggle (with new rhythm section (Phil Barker and Tony Barber) release "Trade Test Transmission", which remarkably picked up right where the band left off in 1980. 1996's "All Set" was also amazingly strong. In an unlikely turn of events, Toyota chose "What Do I Get" for a TV commercial campaign in 2000.
Which leads us to the album at hand, "Modern". I wonder why they chose this title...the last thing I want the Buzzcocks to sound is modern! The album is infused with too many synthesizers and drum machines to sound like classic Buzzcocks, and is spotty through the first six tracks. Then the album abruptly rights itself with "Runaround" and "Doesn't Mean Anything" and doesn't falter again.
If you are new to the band, search out one of the early compilations such as "Operator's Manual". If you were a fan of the early Buzzcocks and have been leery of the 90's version start with "Trade Test Transmission". "Modern" shows the band maturing somewhat, but considering that most of the band's charm was its immaturity, that isn't necessarily a plus.
All that said, this album is far better than you'd have any reason to expect of a 70's punk band that has decided to keep on plugging.

TOY DOLLS: A Far Out Disco (1992) @ 192 kbps

In 1985 the Toy Dolls followed up the success of their debut, the 100 mph Ferris wheel ride Dig That Groove Baby, with the equally kinetic A Far Out Disc. Having already established themselves as the class clowns of the European punk scene, the band upped the ante by increasing the number of skits and segues and including a frenetic cover of the surf classic "Wipe Out." Guitar hero, pixie-thin British jester, and exhausting frontman Olga leads the listener through a demented working-class Romper Room that begins and ends with the nursery rhyme instrumental "A Far Out Theme Tune." Other highlights include the Ramones-like "She Goes to Finos," which was originally released in 1979 by Olga's previous group, the Showbiz Kids, and the loony-bin anthem "We're Mad," which spent 13 weeks in the indie Top 20. A few of the instrumental segues, like "Chartbuster/Razzmatazz Outro," interfere with the flow of the record as opposed to smoothing it out, and the production is a bit muddier than the band's previous offering. While not as strong as other records in their catalog, even a weak Toy Dolls album harnesses more energy than an entire year of new releases. by James Christopher Monger

ELVIS HITLER: Supersadomasochisticeexpialidocious (1993) @ 192kbps

White trash + S&M + a little Satan = pure genius. On this album EH put more distortion on the guitars and adds a little heavier riffs giving the sound a thrash-a-Billy type sound. The pace of the music is a little slower which gives the music a solid feel. The lyrics are sadistic in humorous kind of way. If you have a dark sense of humor then you will enjoy this album. "I've got a date with my baby and a shot gun shell. I'm going to take her out and blow her to hell." Also, EH has more of a punk attitude on "Supersado" that the original rockabilly musician probably felt but never expressed. It's kind of like the Misfits early "Static Age" era. EH completely destroys the innocence of 1950's with the cover of "Yummy Yummy Yummy" which may have not been such in the first place if you think about it. "Yummy Yummy Yummy- I've got love in my tummy." Hmmm?
Like all other EH albums, this one has been out of print for a long time, but it's a little easier to find than the previous two. People need to e-mail or write Rykodisc, who owns the rights to Restless Records, and demand the re-release of The EH catalog. Janitor X (The Mountains)

ELVIS HITLER: Hellbilly (1993) @192kbps

The sound of the music on this album could be described as like a punk crossover mixed with a little straight hard rock/heavy metal. The entire album has a campy white trash theme and there are some weird songs on here. They all sound cool though. The whole album is good.
Anyone who is a Dead Kennedys fan who remembers the version rawhide off of the in god we trust album, just imagine an entire album with that kind of a humoruous theme. Oh, and there are no nazi sentiments contained on this record either so don't be thrown off by the name. A couple of years ago the lead singer (Elvis Hitler) responded to an email I sent him and explained how the band was finished soon after their last album and now they are all working "tried and true day jobs". I wonder what they're doing? But this album. It's a 5 star!! Captain_Blade "-the metal rambo" (Everett, WA)

ELVIS HITLER: Disgraceland (1993) @ 192kbps

Not only is this album full of hilarious lyrics, but the music is full of energetic fun. The name alone will probably offend most people and scare most them off, not because of the Elvis part but the Hitler part, which is all right. If a person is afraid of a name then they probably won't see the humor in it. While the lyrics are full of humor, some may think the music shouldn't be taken seriously either, which is big mistake. If this music doesn't make you get up and move there is something wrong with you. And if you like things to get a little weird then "Green Haze(Pt. I & II)", the music from "Purple Haze" and the lyrics from "Green Acres", then this song is for you. Fans of the Cramps and the Rev. Horton Heat will love this album and all other Elvis Hitler albums. Songs like "Ten Wheels For Jesus", "Hot Rod To Hell", and "Berlin To Memphis" are just pure rockabilly mayhem.
The only problem is this "Disgraceland" has been out of print for a long time and it is extremely rare on CD. I paid [many]dollars for the CD. Rykodisc owns the rights to Restless Records, which published all of Elvis Hitler's albums. People need to e-mail or write Rykodisc and demand that they re-release the Elvis Hitler catalog.

TÉLÉPHONE: Au Coeur de La Nuit (1980) @ 320kbps

I was on my first visit to France and I went into a record store to buy Ca Plane Pour Moi, by Plastic Bertrand, which was a big hit at the time (we're talking the punk era here). The guy who served me said, you don't want that [...], you want something decent, and he recommended this Telephone disc. I bought it on spec, and am so glad I did - it was my introduction to probably France's best rock/punk band.

EDDIE & THE HOT RODS: Life on The Line (1977) @ 192kbps

Eddie & the Hot Rods' much-anticipated second album appeared in fall 1977, on the heels of the band's biggest hit single yet, the gloriously anthemic "Do Anything You Wanna Do." Like that attraction, Life on the Line revealed a considerably more mature musical outlook than did its predecessor, the fury-whipped Teenage Depression -- aware that there was no point in pursuing their original whiplash R&B-soaked visions in the face of the ever-accelerating hordes of punk, the Hot Rods swerved into a hard-hitting prototype of what would later become power pop, awash with guitars and riffs, but clinging to some genuinely memorable melodies, too. Of course, the band did not wholly eschew their past -- excuse the young Steve Lillywhite's sparkling production, and both the Pistols-guitar powered "Quit This Town" and the premonitory closer, "Beginning of the End" would readily have fit into Teenage Depression. Flip the coin, however, and the instrumental "We Sing...The Cross" reached far beyond any musical pastures the band had hitherto grazed, toward the same extremes of tension and release that made the early Television such a dynamic experience. The end result was an album that still screams "classic" today -- hard to believe, indeed, that prior to its release, it was difficult to imagine the band ever equalling the triumphant punch of the hit. Nine bonus tracks wrap up the reissue, albeit with considerably less illumination than those which complete the Teenage Depression reissue. The best is the B-side "Distortion May Be Expected," which wanders around similar territory to "We Sing...The Cross," with added jungle, crowd, and, oddly, dub effects, while three live tracks do include a magnificent reading of "Do Anything You Wanna Do." Elsewhere, "Till The Night Is Gone" and "Flipside Rock" fascinate via the presence of MC5 frontman Rob Tyner, in London to check out the punk scene, and winding up with the one band that really didn't wear his old band's name on their sleeve. Musically, the ensuing single was a disappointment, but the possibilities still intrigue.

TÉLÉPHONE: Téléphone (1977)

Telephone fused the swagger and energy of hard rock with the urban aggression of punk to emerge as the most admired and influential French band of the post-student revolt era. Their roots lie in Sémolina, an unheralded trio formed in late 1975 by singer/guitarist Jean-Louis Aubert, bassist Daniel Roux, and drummer Richard Kolinka. When their lone WEA single, "Et J'y Vais Déjà," vanished upon its mid-1976 release, Sémolina quickly split; Aubert and Kolinka remained roommates, however, frequently jamming in the cellar of their Paris home. In late autumn of 1976, Kolinka secured a gig at Paris' American Centre, but when his regular band was unable to commit to the date, he and Aubert recruited Louis Bertignac, a gifted guitarist previously known for supporting singer Jacques Higelin, and bassist Corine Marienneau to assemble a set list comprised of classic rock hits and Aubert's first original compositions. On November 12, Telephone made their debut performance, playing a largely improvised set to a few hundred patrons; loud, snotty, and defiantly primitive, the band effectively reinvigorated French rock in one fell swoop. Though by no means the classic frontman, Aubert nevertheless transcended his limits as a vocalist and guitarist with sheer aggressive energy, becoming the poster boy for a new generation of French rock icons, while Bertignac's raw, electrifying guitar solos evoked antecedents from Keith Richards to Jimmy Page.... more >>>>

TV SMITH: March of the Giants (2000)

T.V.Smith rose to prominence in the first wave of British punk rock as singer and songwriter for the Adverts who, after frequent early appearances at the seminal Roxy club in London in 1977 , gained cult success with the Stiff single " One Chord Wonders ." This turned to notoriety when their next single, " Gary Gilmore's Eyes " thrust them into the upper reaches of the U.K. charts. The album that followed in 1978 , " Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts " charted on its first week of release, and is generally considered to be one of the few genuine classics of the era.
The Adverts released one further album, “Cast Of Thousands,” before their split in 1979, and T.V. went on to tour and record with T.V.Smith's Explorers, who achieved a minor hit with the single “Tomahawk Cruise,” and Cheap , before re-emerging as a solo artist in 1992 with the release of the critically acclaimed " March of the Giants .”
The nineties saw T.V. gigging relentlessly throughout Europe, as well as releasing a further two solo albums, 1995 's "Immortal Rich" - which was released in the U.S. on long-time fan Henry Rollins' label - and 1999 's "Generation Y," as well as co-writing songs with German chart-toppers Die Toten Hosen . In 2001 the Toten Hosen performed as TV's backing band to record "Useless," an album of re-recordings of classic T.V.Smith songs which has gone on to become his biggest selling album in Europe since "Crossing The Red Sea." An internet only anti-war single “Not In My Name” released by T.V. early in 2003 through his website received more than 7,000 downloads.
The latest T.V.Smith album, released in late 2003 , "Not A Bad Day," sees T.V. at the peak of his powers, presenting twelve new songs charged with the typically perceptive and witty lyrics that have established him as one of the best songwriters to have emerged from the punk movement
Over the last year TV has played more than 120 gigs, culminating in his headlining spot at the annual WASTED (formerly Holidays In The Sun ) festival in Morecambe in July. Recently Wim Wenders personally chose TV's song “Expensive Being Poor” for his new film “ Land Of Plenty ,” which has just been previewed at the Venice film festival. The song will shortly appear on the soundtrack album, alongside David Bowie, Travis and Leonard Cohen , amongst others.
T.V's new recording project is “Xmas Bloody Xmas,” a cynical and funny take on the Christmas single tradition, due out on the Damaged Goods label on November 29th. (Cat. no. DAMGOOD 236). Also on the single are newly recorded live versions of the classic songs “ Gary Gilmore's Eyes” and “Bored Teenagers.”
A new album is planned for 2005 . Meanwhile, T.V. continues to tour the world, bringing his epic solo show, which sometimes reaches three hours, to ever-increasing audiences, as well as playing occasional gigs with backup bands.
Latest news, archives, photos and T.V.'s tour diaries can be found at www.tvsmith.com

TV SMITH: Immortal Rich (95)

Two straight albums by "immortal" ex-Adverts leader TV Smith released in the U.S.! This reflects the new commercial interest in punk's founders. The Adverts' two punk classics, the incredible Crossing the Red Sea (1978) and Cast of Thousands (1979), were both imports, and only one of his first three solo LPs found a home here. Now Smith is championed by Henry Rollins via 2.13.61, and it's high time for a reversal of that sorry trend, since Smith has never lost his songwriting touch. The Griffin release of his late-'80s work with Cheap, RIP...Everything Must Go!, was hard stuff, but with Immortal Rich, he returns to the acoustic-flavored pop he's mined since 1982's obscure, great Channel Five. Hooks seem to pour out of his fingers the way Guinness foams out of a tap, and the passion has not left his thick, familiar voice. After two decades, it's inconceivable that Smith will ever lose his burning social conscience or the lyrical snap first heard in the brilliant "Gary Gilmour's Eyes," "New Church," and "Television's Over." It still sparkles here on "Walk the Plank," "We Want the Road," and the title track. Shine on, you caustic diamond. The world needs someone to decry its bullsh*t and its ingrained, accepted injustices.by Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover

Tracks: Immortal Rich / Living World / Walk the Plank / We Want the Road / High Society / Head on Clear! / The Dat We Caught the Big Fish / Thin Green Line / Let 'Em Go / In There / Earth 2

T.V. SMITH'S CHEAP: RIP...Everything Must Go! (95)

Cheap was always a paradox. Their biggest asset should have been vocalist TV Smith, whose past with the Adverts opened the band wide to the nostalgia circuit that was percolating through the early-'90s punk scene. Instead, they buried his past as readily as they buried comparisons with anything else that was buzzing around back then, instigating instead a wide-screen wall of belligerent sound that was angrier, louder, and more potent than any of the airs that fired punk's own first gleaming. Clear-headed lyrics set to muddy-minded riffs, wide-eyed innocence crushed by gutter-groping cynicism, wolves in rat-bag's clothing who lie down for the world to kick, then turn around and bite its legs off -- Cheap were the perennial outsiders; the fact that they had to die before they even got their album released proves that. But what an album it is. Three years of underground gigging preceded its creation, and the track listing cherry-picks some of Smith's all-time finest songs: "New Ways Are Best," a scouring scrutiny of the consumer age; "Leisure Time," the bemused battle cry of the disenfranchised worker; "Buried by the Machine," the last gasp of the free world as it's buried beneath corporate sponsorship; and "Luxury in Exile," a chilling contemplation of the fate of the war criminals who wind up on the winning side. All hit home with a vengeance as much as when the album first appeared. Indeed, in a modern era when people are so concerned with such issues of freedom of choice and freedom of speech, the greatest issues of all -- the loss of hope and dignity, the betrayal of trust, and the death of faith -- have still to join the consciousness bandwagon. Only by restoring the human condition can humankind restore human values, and if you understand that, you understand Cheap.by Dave Thompson

ALIEN SEX FIEND: The Singles 1983-1995 (1996)

In the wake of shock rock's introduction to the mainstream via Marilyn Manson, it is easy to forget that several bands toiled in the underground making much better noise with similar theatrics. One such artist is Nik Wade, known to fans as "Nik Fiend," the creative mind behind Alien Sex Fiend. On this retrospective, 23 examples of the Fiend sound are packaged together, and the various strengths and weaknesses of Wade's vision poke their way through. The biggest problem is simply song length; both "E.S.T." and "Inferno (Oscar Madness Mix)" are way too long and the album drags in both spots. In a few other instances, most notably "Bun Ho," there is very little going on even if the track is not that long. These add to the overlong, dragging feel of the album. But then absolute classics like "New Christian Music," "Smells Like...," and the horror rock anthem "Now I'm Feeling Zombiefied" rear their ugly heads and the legend of Alien Sex Fiend is redeemed. The centerpiece of the collection is "I Walk the Line," an underground classic that defines the attitude that Wade was trying to express. Devoid of the band's wonderfully campy visual theatrics, this is only half of what Alien Sex Fiend is really about. Those wishing to get an idea of how ahead of its time the band was should try to find a live video first. But much of the music here is really good, and this is a perfect example of what any Alien Sex Fiend album would be like: a few classics mixed in with a few overlong borefests. by Bradley Torreano

ALIEN SEX FIEND: Curse (1990)

A product of Britain's early-1980s Batcave gothic punk movement, the North London-based Alien Sex Fiend was led by the eccentric Nick Wade, better known as the macabre Nik Fiend. A staple of the London scene as a member of such relatively obscure groups as the Earwigs and Mr. and Mrs. Demeanour, he made his recording debut under the name Demon Preacher; several other short-lived projects followed before he formed Alien Sex Fiend in 1982 with wife and synth player Christine (a.k.a. Mrs. Fiend), guitarist Yaxi Highrizer (born David James), and drummer Johnny "Ha Ha" Freshwater.
Mixing the theatrical horror-movie antics of Alice Cooper with the menacing synthesizer pulse of Suicide, Alien Sex Fiend debuted with the single "Ignore the Machine," a favorite among Goth club denizens; the full-length Who's Been Sleeping in My Brain? appeared in 1983. A series of indie-chart hits followed in 1984, including "R.I.P.", "Dead and Buried" and "E.S.T. (Trip to the Moon); " the success of the album Acid Bath further increased the group's visibility, and in Japan, Alien Sex Fiend became major stars, resulting in the 1985 live release Liquid Head in Tokyo.... more

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES: Kaleidoscope (1980)

After Join Hands, guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris departed the Banshees, leaving the band at a crossroads. Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin elected to soldier on with ex-Slits drummer Budgie and two guitarists, ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones and John McGeoch of Magazine as guest Banshees. Despite the personnel upheaval, the result is a surprisingly strong record: Kaleidoscope. While a number of the songs here are still dark-hued and feature bleak lyrics, they are made very palatable by extraordinarily imaginative production values featuring intricate synthesizer-flecked arrangements; psychedelic touches in "Christine," spaceship synthesizer swoops in "Tenant," and rhythmic camera clicks in "Red Light" all enliven their respective songs. Sound quality here is lighter and much clearer than on previous releases. Sioux's singing shows noticeable improvement here, still tuneless at times but also exhibiting more range and subtlety than previously. The song "Hybrid," a Joy Division-style number, shows her vocals running the gamut from primitive to inspired. Other highlights include the galloping, vibrant up-tempo number "Skin," the spooky and atmospheric "Lunar Camel," the medium-tempo rocker "Trophy," and the punky vocalise "Clockface." Kaleidoscope was a make-or-break album for Siouxsie and the Banshees, and happily the band came through strongly.by David Cleary

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES: Juju (1981)

One of the band's masterworks, Juju sees Siouxsie and the Banshees operating in a squalid wall of sound dominated by tribal drums, swirling and piercing guitars, and Siouxsie Sioux's fractured art-attack vocals. If not for John McGeoch's marvelous high-pitched guitars, here as reminiscent of Joy Division as his own work in Magazine, the album would rank as the band's most gothic release. Siouxsie and company took things to an entirely new level of darkness on Juju, with the singer taking delight in sinister wordplay on the disturbing "Head Cut," creeping out listeners in the somewhat tongue-in-cheek "Halloween," and inspiring her bandmates to push their rhythmic witches brew to poisonous levels of toxicity. Album opener "Spellbound," one of the band's classics, ranks among their finest moments and bristles with storming energy. Siouxsie's mysterious voice emerges from dense guitar picking, Budgie lays into his drums as if calling soldiers to war, and things get more tense from there. "Into the Light" is perhaps the only track where a listener gets a breath of oxygen, as the remainder of the album screams claustrophobia, whether by creepy carnival waterfalls of guitar notes or Siouxsie's unsettling lyrics. "Arabian Nights" at least offers a gorgeously melodic chorus, but after that the band performs a symphony of bizarre wailings and freaky imagery. As ominous as the cacophony is on its own, close attention to Siouxsie's nearly subliminal chants paints a scarier picture. A passage such as "I saw you...a huge smiling central face with eyes and lips cut out but smiling and eating lots of other lips" doesn't exactly brighten one's day. Siouxsie is full of such quips throughout the album's running time, but her delivery packs as much punk as her message. Her attack-the-world dynamic range on "Voodoo Dolly" predates and out-weirds Björk's similar styling years later. McGeoch, Budgie, and bassist Steven Severin deserve just as much credit for crafting an original sound that would inspire a diverse group of future bands from Ministry to Placebo. All the while, producer Nigel Gray maintains the sense that the album is an immediate, edgy performance unfolding right in front of the listener. The upfront intensity of Juju probably isn't matched anywhere else in the catalog of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Thanks to its killer singles, unrelenting force, and invigorating dynamics, Juju is a post-punk classic. by Tim DiGravina

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES: Join Hands (1979)

Siouxsie and the Banshees were among the longest-lived and most successful acts to emerge from the London punk community; over the course of a career that lasted two decades, they evolved from an abrasive, primitive art punk band into a stylish, sophisticated unit that even notched a left-field Top 40 hit.
Throughout its numerous lineup changes and textural shifts, the group remained under the leadership of vocalist Siouxsie Sioux, born Susan Dallion on May 27, 1958. She and the Banshees' initial lineup emerged from the Bromley Contingent, a notorious group of rabid Sex Pistols fans; inspired by the growing punk movement, Dallion adopted the name Siouxsie and formed the Banshees in September 1976. In addition to bassist Steve Severin and guitarist Marco Perroni, the band included drummer John Simon Ritchie, who assumed the name Sid Vicious; they debuted later that year at the legendary Punk Festival held at London's 100 Club, where their entire set consisted of a savage, 20-minute rendition of "The Lords Prayer."....more

MAGAZINE: Secondhand Daylight (1979)

Secondhand Daylight must have been committed in the cold. You can practically see the steam coming out of Howard Devoto as he sneeringly spews out lines like "Today I bumped into you again/I have no idea what you want" in "Permafrost." You can picture Dave Formula swiping frost off his keys and Barry Adamson blowing on his hands during the intro to "Feed the Enemy," while Johns McGeoch and Doyle zip up their parkas. More than anything, Daylight is a showcase for Formula's chilly but expressive keyboard work; he appears to release as many demons as Devoto does throughout the course of the dark album. Detached tales of relationships damaged beyond repair dominate the album, and it's not nearly as bouncy as Real Life or The Correct Use of Soap -- the only real chugger is "Rhythm of Cruelty." Despite the sub-zero climate and lack of dance numbers, it isn't a completely impenetrable record. It's not as immediately satisfying as their first and third albums, but it deserves just as much recognition as Magazine's other stellar works. by Andy Kellman

MAGAZINE: Magic Murder and The Weather (1981)

Magazine's final studio album, Magic, Murder and the Weather, finds Dave Formula's washes of cold, brittle keyboards dominating the bitter and cynical music. Occasionally, Howard Devoto's weary lyrics surface through the icy mix, but it's clear that Devoto and Magazine have both had better days. It's not a graceful way to bow out, but the album has enough strong moments to prevent it from being an embarrassment as well.by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

NEW YORK DOLLS: Red Patent Leather: Live in NYC 1975

The New York Dolls created punk rock before there was a term for it. Building on the Rolling Stones' dirty rock & roll, Mick Jagger's androgyny, girl group pop, the glam rock of David Bowie and T. Rex, and the Stooges' anarchic noise, the New York Dolls created a new form of hard rock that presaged both punk rock and heavy metal. Their drug-fueled, shambolic performances influenced a generation of musicians in New York and London, who all went on to form punk bands. And although they self-destructed quickly, the band's two albums remain two of the most popular cult records in rock & roll history.

All of the members of the New York Dolls played in New York bands before they formed in late 1971. Guitarists Johnny Thunders and Rick Rivets, bassist Arthur Kane, and drummer Billy Murcia were joined by vocalist David Johansen. Early in 1972, Rivets was replaced by Syl Sylvian and the group began playing regularly in lower Manhattan, particularly at the Mercer Arts Center. Within a few months, they had earned a dedicated cult following, but record companies were afraid of signing the band because of their cross-dressing and blatant vulgarity....more

THE JAM: Snap! (1983)

Snap! collects all of the Jam's singles, from "In the City" to "Beat Surrender," including several B-sides ("'A' Bomb in Wardour Street," "Dreams of Children") and a handful of rarities, like a demo of "That's Entertainment" and the rock version of "Smithers-Jones." For its compact-disc release, several songs were trimmed, but Snap! remains a brilliant summation of why the Jam were one of the most important and beloved British bands of their era. The latter-day collection Greatest Hits covers much the same ground as Snap!, but the earlier compilation remains preferable because of sequencing and its inclusion of essential items like "'A' Bomb in Wardour Street" and "Dreams of Children."by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

THE VIBRATORS: Fifth Amendment & Recharged (2001)

One of punk rock's longest running bands, the Vibrators emerged from the UK punk scene in 1976 and quickly found themselves sharing the stage with such notable acts as the Sex Pistols. Their initial releases were minor hits in England, and the band was able to weather frequent lineup changes, which started with bassist Pat Collier's exit in 1977, until 1980 when the band called it quits. But, as with most UK punk acts, reformation was in the cards. The original lineup came back together in 1982 and released the LPs Guilty and Alaska 127.
The original lineup of Ian Conochan, Pat Collier, John Ellis, and Eddie the Drummer was hit again with more turnover during the 1980s and 1990s. By the time of the band's 20th anniversary, Mikcie Owen (guitar), Mark Duncan (bass), Nigel Bennet (guitar), Darrell Bath (guitar), and Nick Peckham (bass) had all been associated with the Vibrators. In 1999, the more stable three-piece lineup of the band made their way across America with fellow punk veterans the Misfits, the Exploited, and the U.K. Subs.
While most of their albums in the 1980s and 1990s were overlooked, the early catalog was enough to keep them fueled for more than 20 years. The Vibrators released a live collection and a rarities disc in 1999 on Gig records.by Chris True

Tracks:
blown away by love / rip up the city / tomorrow is today / wipe away / too late for love / the demolishers / running right into your heart / frankenstein stomp / crazy dream / criminal / string him along / hey little doll / i don't trust you / go go go / hey nonny no and picture of you / every day i die a little / too dumb / rip it up, tear it up / someone stole my heart / electricity / tight black jeans / reach for that star.

UK DECAY : For Madmen Only (1981)

Fusing artsy theatrics with nasty thrash-punk, UK Decay made their proper debut with the Black EP in early 1980. At that point, their lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Abbo, drummer Steve Harle, bassist Martyn Smith, and five-string guitarist/keyboardist Steve Spon. After a couple of self-released singles, Smith passed away and was replaced in short succession by Lol, Dutch, and Eddie Branch. The full-length For Madmen Only was issued on Fresh in October of 1981. The Rising From the Dead EP was released in 1982, further moving the band away from their early sound. Splitting by the end of the year, the band minus Spon formed Slave Drive, only to morph into Furyo. Spon formed In Excelsis.by Andy Kellman

U.K. SUBS : Punk Can't Take It (1996)

Named after the Julien Temple-directed documentary on this long-running class-of-1977 U.K. punk band, U.K. Subs' Punk Can Take It is a mishmash compilation of demos and live tracks covering the group's initial 1979-1982 incarnation. For all but the most die-hard fans, this period was the band's career pinnacle, with the combination of guitarist Nicky Garratt and singer Charlie Harper coming across almost like a yobbish U.K. version of Joey and Johnny, right down to the Ramones-style blur of songs like "Confrontation Street." This was only one side of the group, though, as shown by the nervy new wave of the martial "Divide 8 x 5" and the almost Joy Division-like post-punk atmospherics of "Sensitive Boys." Punk Can Take It is strictly for the fans, though; the fidelity of these demos and live tracks is on the iffy side, and the polished studio versions of the songs are invariably better. For fans, however, hearing these early and rougher takes can be illuminating and enjoyable. by Stewart Mason

Tracks: shoot you down / divide 8x5 / countdown / ambition / sensitive boys / i don't need your love / limo life / cocaine / teenage / warhead / you don't belong / confrontation street / time and matter / party in paris / face the machine / violent city / keep on running (til you burn) / perfect girl

SWINGIN' UTTERS : The Sounds Wrong (1995 - EP)

One of the more traditional-sounding of California's punk revival bands, Swingin' Utters formed in the late '80s around a first-name-only lineup of vocalist Johnny, guitarists Max and Darius, bassist Kevin, and drummer Greg. Originally based in Santa Cruz, these street punks later moved to San Francisco and recorded for several different labels, including Side One, IFA Records, and New Red Archives. The group first released 1992's Scared as Johnny Peebucks & the Swingin' Utters, but things really started to happen for them three years later with their full-length The Streets of San Francisco. The album garnered the band much attention, including Best Debut Album at the Bay Area Music Awards, and Swingin' Utters soon found themselves on the first annual Vans Warped Tour. They later also toured with Rancid before signing to Fat Wreck Chords (run by NOFX's Fat Mike); Swingin' Utters released A Juvenile Product of the Working Class in 1996 and Five Lessons Learned two years later. The Sounds Wrong EP from 1995 was re-released by the label in 1998, with the Brazen Head EP following the next year.
Around the same time, the guys also lent six tracks to a split with Youth Brigade as part of the BYO Split Series. The band's self-titled third-studio effort was released in fall 2000, and national tours with the Damned and Dropkick Murphys further heightened the group's popularity among punk rockers. Their debut full-length, produced by Lars Fredericksen, was re-released in October 2001. The next Swingin' Utters studio effort, Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass, and Bones, was issued in February 2003; a live album in the Live in a Dive series surfaced in summer 2004. By this time, the group was comprised of founding members Johnny Bonnel, Darius Koski, and Greg McEntee, along with bassist/vocalist Spike Slawson (Me First and the Gimme Gimmes) and guitarist Jack Dalrymple (One Man Army).
