Misfits are great but over hyped. Don’t need to tell you much since you can find anything you wanna know about them on the net. This is a quality bootleg made by some Japanese in 1986. Anyone got the original to compare the sound quality?

Thanks to EMI we got to hear this. I can not thank the big major labels enough who gave us REAL punk bands like The Clash, Sex Pistols, Generation X, XTC, Ultravox, 999, The Police, X-Ray Spex etc. Remember that it was the crappy independent labels that gave us amazing stuff like The Exploited, Anti Pasti and the whole shitty UK82 phenomena and crappy mid to late 80s HC.

Note: If you got mediocre musical taste it’s strongly advised that you DON’T download this.

The home of Erich/Good Bad Cheese sure had their good share of great punk bands. Here’s one of the first punk records out if Switzerland. Composed of members from the “alternative jet set” which I read somewhere. Whatever that means. Two great songs that sounds like punk. What a suprise!

Yet another Victims. Here’s the US ones. Only release on Plan 9 that’s not a Misfits one. The a-side is not that interesting in case you’re not too keen on the Heartbreakers, NY Dolls kind of sleazy punk n roll. The b-side on the other hand is a total different story. Behind The Times is what makes this record a must have. And Nervous comes in second.

Two different sleeve variations. And I happen to have the black version up for sale at eBay: Victims at eBay.

Death To The Sickoids was posted by Eric at Something I Learned Today about a year ago. I have problem loading his site right now so I can’t link directly to his post of it.

Canada’s Subhumans first and classic 7inch. Most of you’ve may have heard this already but can it be posted too many times? Nope. Amazing guitar sound and overall the band sounds like they had been playing their instruments quiet sometime before jumping on the punk thing.

First heard them on the Let Them Eat Jelly Beans compilation doing Slave To My Dick which was one of my favorites on there along with Bad Brains Pay To Cum. Enough of lousy writing. Download this now!

There’s loads of US stuff being posted here I know. But what can one do when there’s so many great records coming from there?

First release by The Enemy from Washington. Thugging punk rock with piano and tasty arrangement. I like both tracks a lot. But Suzanne Grants growling in Want Me about 1:20 into the song makes me shiver with pure lust which makes it the winner.

One of the best punk songs are done as a joke by a non punk band. How great and ironic is that? Church has ONE great moment and that’s when Willie Braun sings “…and most of you will get punished” the puffing sound on “punished” into the microphone is worth a few spins.

I think Church will appeal to Erich/Good Bad since it has that retarded hard rock feel to it that I know he loves.

Bummer Bitch don’t need any words to describe how great it is. Everything is perfect: sound, arrangement, lyrics and the awesome vocals. “The thing is….. is that it was a joke! We were making fun of the PUNK movement and it was taken seriously!”

And yes here’s the test press. Bummer Bitch suck my dick!!

New Zealand punk ain’t something I hear everyday. We’ve posted Spelling Mistakes and the more New Waveish Split Enz before. Here we have Suburban Reptiles with a bad ass record that I heard for the first time today. A haunting guitar melody and some mysterious synth sounds that fades in here and there makes Saturday a true keeper. Voted as the best song of the 20th century in 2003 on that little Lord Of The Rings iland. Oh yeah that track can also be found on the infamous AK79 compilation.

The flip 45 Single is just as great but more of a traditional punk rock ditty. Produced by Philip Judd from the hated and beloved Split Enz.

Rumored to have a pressing run of 200 copies. Sorry but a New Zealand rat have taken a bite on my sleeve. VERY common among them rats. THANKS AWESOME! SHRED ON!!

Here’s some dumb and raw true KBD punk from Holland. Why did we name this blog Killed By Death Records? Ha ha it sucks. Anyway now we’re stuck with it. And you know it was just a matter of time before someonelse started a blog with that name and would probably post worse records than we do.

Back to Molesters a band who I know nothing about except that they’re from the country of dope heads. Niels? Any information?

This is a re-post from April the 8th 2006. Added more scans and recorded it from the original vinyl. Notice the difference from the boot. The boot is rawer and they normalised everything. And that is revising history. Come on boot guys are you David Irving of punk rock boots? Here the sound goes up and down. Fades in and then fades out a little in the middle parts on some songs etc. A great mess!

One of the best punk rock 7inches from UK ever. I wish I knew anything about this band but I don’t. A pressing of 500 and is on many collectors want list and for once I understand why.

Re-issued a couple of years ago without the original sleeve. And now Detour Records have made yet another reissue: grab it! From the back of the sleeve: Recorded in 1/2 hour, at 8 quid and hour.
