Killed By Death Records

“This is one the best 7inch record released by a swedish punk band” can be said about almost every release from Sweden during the years 1977-1980. P-nissarna(The Dicks) from the north of Sweden and a small boring town called Falun.

Reformed some years ago and rumours has that they’re working on new material. They also had some killer songs on the first Really Fast compilation.

Here’s P-nissarnas myspace page. While you’re there listen to Harda man and FTV recorded in 2005. Dosen’t Stefan “Sloback” Lindau sound very much like the singer from RF7?

Great punk rock with saxophone on the b-side and a very sucky slow one the flip. From the country that given us Dieter Meyer, Nasal Boys and Fear Of God among others. Maybe erich from the excellent blog Good bad music for bad, bad times! can sheed some light over Santé Publique since I didn’t manage to find anything on them during my google tour.

The only good cover version I’ve heard of The Young Ones was done by The Secret. Why did the Spys embarasse themself to release such a shamefull version when the flip Heavy Scene is one mastodont powerpop hit? From the opening with the fliping coin till this song ends on 3:20(ouch!) this give me constant goose bumps.

The Spys released a second 7inch called Daddy Was A Dj that I haven’t heard. But if it’s up there with Heavy Scene then give me a hint.

I Just Can’t Stand Cars either makes you incredible happy cause of its silly poppy sound bordering to ridicolous cheezines. Or you’ll instantly hate it. Me? I love it! Teenage Teenage is more of a punkypowerpop tune that is equally great but not in a cheezy way. Loud drums and catch guitar leads makes it an instant classic.

Karl Hyde who forme The Screen Gemz is now in a quiet famous dance act called Underworld.

“A SINGLE ‘I DONT LIKE CARS’ WAS MADE AND DISTRIBUTED BY FRIENDS OF THE BAND, WITH KARL (THE ARTY ONE) DESIGNING THE COVER. THE BOYS CLAIM THAT THE BAND INFLUENCES INCLUDED KRAFTWERK AND DUB REGGAE!” Well those influences can’t be heard here anyway.

The awesome Strange Reaction posted this sometime ago. But since the files over there sounds “remastered” and not as muddy and punk as on the original vinyl I’ll post it. If you’re more into the clean version you’ll just have to head over to SRs post of this: Wards at Strange Reaction.

Everything you could ask for is etched on to vinyl on this amazing record. Classic punk rock from start to finish. Not a single boring moment.

From Kill From The Heart: “Beano Parker, the future guitarist for the Wards, first heard the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind The Bollocks LP in 1977-1978. Hearing this album turned him on to a whole style of music that he had previously been totally unfamiliar with.“.

Third and best release from Denmarks Electric Deads. This is one of the best or maybe the best danish 80s HC record ever. Here’s an updated version of Fish In The Pool that appeard on their first record posted some weeks ago. This version is way better.

Our old band once toured with a danish band called President Fetch in 1988. Years later I found out that the bass player the one and only Anders Nielsen(Gearbox Agency) used to play in Electric Deads. Why didn’t he tell me? And did he ever record with them since he’s not playing on any of their EPs.

ED did the wise decesion to include their lyrics on their second and this 7inch since Bibbi always sounds drunk as hell.

The Rousers first 7inch Magazine Girl was posted in the beginning of july in case you missed it. Here’s Rousers fourth 7inch and is up there with their first release wich is a sign as good as ever that this was a band to count on if you’re into well crafted powerpop. At the same time I’m amazed at how bad songs they could spit out as on the flip here.

Country: Holland

The Drones where good at doing the punk thing. Further Temptations is one master piece of LP if you ask me. And was one of the first 10 punk rock LPs I bought back in the 70s. What a suprise to discover that they where just as great at crancking out some fine punk/powerpop too as heard here in Can’t See.

“Originally a pub rock called Rockslide who released a single called ‘Roller Coaster’ which got nowhere. Sniffing the punk wind of change in’76 however, they emerged as one of the most exciting bands from Manchester’s punk scene.”

The a-side is a bad ska song draging on for 4:14 so we just have to skip that one. Descontrol on the flip is a diffrent story though. Great driven punk rock backed by the spanish language that give it that special desperate touch. Just like italian for that matter.

Must be a bummer to record the spanish singing bands considering all the s’s buried in there. Anyone have some tasty info about PVP to share? I think this is their second release after the Miedo 7inch released the same year and that’ve been comped on Bloodstains Across Spain.

Ha ha wow this went fast :). Glad I could do some valuable work getting these little money grubbers out of business. But since I didn’t report akacrash I guess there’s some nice people over here that reported him.

So cause of my little rant here I got a sweet sugery email from Mike Rush(Adama Wilson, septicnecro, inkntunes), all written in capital cause he happens to have his Caps Lock turned on all the time:”YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! YOU GOT AKA CRASH BANNED FROM EBAY! YOU FUCKING PUSSY! YOU AIN’T SHIT! YOU BETTER NOT EVER PLAY IN L.A. CUZ YOU GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE PISSED OFF IN CALI! YOU’RE FUCKING WITH THE WRONG PERSON! YOU DON’T WHO I AM AND WHO I RUN WITH!“.

Yepp I guess ALOT of people in California are pissed at me: Guy Robert Archambue and Mike Rush. Mike Rush also happens to be a Radio DJ and Zero Boys and NOTA will be his guests. Shall I laugh or shall I cry? Geee I feel sorry for the little thing. Hugsh and kisses to you Mike.
