Killed By Death Records

Duff McKagan who later found fame in one of the worst bands in the history of music: Guns N Roses bangs the skins here.

I’m tired like an ass since I’ve helped my mother to move. It only took one week to move all her stuff. Why does she have to save everything? I guess I’ve carried at least a ton worth of stuff. Anyway this is great shit. It’s Your Birthday goes out to you mom. You rule. You’re punk. Time for bed(give me head).

Ha ha a post of Minor Threat. Dude, it’s not rare and easy available everywhere. Yeah, it’s true that the music is easy available but not the record plus it’s spring time here in Sweden and I’ve spinned this a lot to get in the mood for getting drunk, blowing smoke into my fellow humans eyes and have unsafe sex.

I think this has to be one of my top 5 hardcore 7inhces of all time. The intensity and aggresivness has yet to be topped. What have always caught me is Ians screaming in the end of Out Of Step and as you flip the record Guilty Of Being White starts with the same thing. Gives me chills down my spines EVERY time. Luckily I decided not to put the sticker on my drums or guitars. But there where other stickers inside too wasn’t it?

Second release by Australias the Razar.To me this is as good as their firts posted earlier on here. My favourite track by ‘em can be found on this piece of plastic: Shutdown Countdown. Sounds almost like Darby Crash gone down under to help them out on the intro. As you can hear the singer of Razar got that nasal and obnoxious voice also found in Young Identities. Awesome!

Came without a sleeve upon its release but thanks to some nice folks the intended sleeve saw the light together with the original vinyl in 1999 I think.

Swedish punk sung in the southern dialect skanska makes up for a special treat. Sounds more desperate and obnoxious. Problem goes through punk in Va har jag gjort?, 60s flavoured powerpop in Jag vill inte ha, good ‘ol rock in Malmo sta and then back to punk in Kroppsvisit. The low budget production and the brilliant lyrics makes it sounds punk all in all.

Problem made a very good LP after this but after that they became less and less interesting to me.

This site started 1 year ago. Can’t brag about number of visitors and many downloads but there seems to be some people enjoying it. As you noted updates don’t come as often as it used too but that’s not due to lack of interest it’s cause of too much work to get money for rent and all that crap. At the moment there’s about 40 7inches that’s in the “to be posted” pile and the list is growing. So you know there’s things to look forward to. Now over to the good part of this post.

How raw and beautiful this records is. So incredible urgent and desperate. Recorded on a 2 track machine in 1981 but not released until 1985. Can’t tell you much about the band but Inner City Sound have released some stuff that I would love to hear.

Here’s some new and excellent powerpop/punk. Unattached Strings is an awesome nearly too close to Buzzcocks melody punker that I can’t get enough of. The chorus could be stronger to acompanion the great verse but who am I to complain? Dream Girl is really bad in my opinion. Just too simple and plain. Where’s the hooks?

About their sucky name The Power Chords you can read this at their labels website:”The name “The Power-Chords” couldn’t be more, or less, ironic.”

One more thing!!! Where’s the lyric sheet? It should be law to include a lyric sheet.

While I’m in the mood for hardcore so I better go for it. But don’t you worry! The marvelous powerpop and weak punk that I usually post will come back faster then you can say: hypernevrouakustiskdiafragmakontravibration.

Can you imagen they wanted 35 swedish crowns(about $5.00) for this in 1982?? What a theft! I didn’t want to pay that so into my jacket it went. If you by any chance have missed this classic here’s your chance to pick it up. From the time when NY HC where great. Ok Ralp Gebbia ain’t the best dude to be in cue with the rhythm but far from as annoying as Ray Cappo in Youth Of Today. Amazing production! Buzzaw guitar sound and swooshing hi hat. And man do they look cool? Take a look at the lyric sheet. Hats, long coats and don’t the guy far left wear a mustache? Fave tracks: all.

Eric over at Something I Learned Today have posted this before here. Don’t forget to check out the first Eat 7″ posted there too which is better then this their second effort. So why another post of this? Mainly cause I want to post the sleeve, inserts and lyric sheet(I miss the sticker here though) plus all in all it’s a great record. If we didn’t had the Communist Radio to compare with I think this one would’ve been more appreciated? Very varied. From punky powerpop to the more plain simple punk that we all learned love.

“…the Eat was banned from the local Agora Ballroom for some comment Eddie made about being “the only punk band in Miami with no jews and no queers”… well, fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke. Been to any Agora Ballrooms lately? I’ve been to an Eat show…”

When I heard this it reminded me exactly why I fell in love with hardcore. Every band has a sound of their own and they’re all at least good.

Colcor: May be the least interesting band on here but the drum intro to Nervous Wreck is priceless plus a couple of other tunes.

No Labels: They’re on the “Why are we here” compilation that have been posted here sometime ago. I’ve always thought that the “Why…” comp. original was released as this tape. No Labels are great in a small dose. Some standout tracks: Still The Same, I’m Tired, Missing The Point, Mental Pygmy and I Play Games.

No Rock Stars: My favourite band on here. Sounds VERY much like Minor Threat ala Out Of Step era. Just listen to Too Negative and Death. They also deliever the best track on here: Thrash. I whish they had more tracks by these guys instead of No Labels and Colcor. What happened to this great band after this?

Corrosion Of Conformity: I’ve never been a fan of C.O.C. so I wasn’t expecting too much here. But they clock in as second best only beaten by No Rock Stars(yes it’s a contest). Beats everything I’ve heard by C.O.C. so far and Citizen has to be their best track ever. If I have to complain about one thing then its that I would’ve loved to have the singing style of the song No Core and the sound of Citizen on every C.O.C. track. And yeah they’re doing a cover of the KBD classic Rather See You Dead by Legionaire’s Disease Band.
