Yeah I know the title track is terrible!! Flip the plastic around and you’ll get Chinese Chive which is a great hectic weirdo synth punk track. Their debute shall be great too but I haven’t heard it. If anyone knows about temporary bands that plays this kind of stuff please let me know.

Take a look at the back of the sleeve. I swear to god it’s Sty Terrarie from Kriminella Gitarrer etc second from the left. And the first guy from the left has to be Binke from Garbochock. What did they do down in Austria?

And by the way I don’t know a thing about Chuzpe. Do you?

What is there to say about such a great record like this? Absolutely flawless from start to finish. Yepp here’s another gem that Erich of Good Bad Music posted some time ago but his links are dead so here we go. The punch on this recording just hits me every time. Great playing, great songs and a tasty production.

“Guitarist Eddie Vincent and drummer Tad, having played together in Los Angeles with various bands since the early seventies, found themselves in London after touring Europe and North Africa with Swiss rocker and performance artist Bernard Constantin during the famous punk summer of 1977.”

How about some artsy fartsy punk rock from Australia? Yes, we like. Like a mix of Wire and Minutemen though I doubt Seems Twice had heard Minutemen as they released their first 7inch the same year. Maybe some Urinals in here too. The Fall? Yeah, that too. Same influences and same mind set maybe. Fave track: Column One. 15 seconds of pure joy. This record will never bore. That’s how things work with short songs. If you like it. Play it again.

Any info welcome about Seems Twice.

Would love to hear this:

In my opinion this is the last good record GG did. Perfect blend of straight up punk and some hardcore. What the hell does the cover picture? A skull yeah and then some crosses. A scar? One of the ugliest covers I’ve seen. And it’s not ugly in a good way! Just good damn ugly.

Here’s some words I came up with while thinking about GG: idiot, cunt, dick, duck, suck, cunt, fuck, kill, anus, ass, turd, bird, lard, barn, sperm, licking, shit, finskahoran, handskmannen, bajskorv, fisring, läskpapper, prispress, rea, lantställe, listetta, pantflaska, liberalanal, sill, potatis and freedom.

I’ve seen that there’s a French bootleg label that call them self KBD Records. Sure this blog name isn’t patented and calling it Killed By Death Records is laughable in itself. But as I’ve said before it was just a matter of time before someonelse started a blog with this name and uploading more mediocre stuff then found on here. Who are these guys in France? I’ve seen a Killed By 7inch LP released by KBD Records/Redrum. Make no mistake this site will never be involved in releasing bootlegs. Here the stuff will be available for free.

What about Sarah Coffman? They took the name to sound unpunk. And they also use an oboe in the anti punk to make it punk spirit. From the hometown of the original founder of the KBD series Johan Kugelberg: Orebro. Sloopy, weak playing and totally great especially Titta jag or dod.
