Killed By Death Records

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.

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.

One of my favourite US HC compilations along with the first Master Tape volume. This is a massive download with loads of great bands. My picks: Malignant Growth, Idiot Savants, Sand In The Face, Sacred Order, No Labels, Front Line, Repellents, Mecht Mensch, Zero Boys, Delinquents, Tar Babies, Wasted Talent, Anti-Bodies.

“MRR: How did you find the bands on “The Master Tape Vol. II”?
PAUL: Inside Master Tape I there was a poster, and on one section of that poster was a paragraph that asked any interested bands to send a tape to us for consideration. Then I just took what I felt to be the best stuff. One thing I would like to point out is that these compilations are nothing more than a chance for any band that wouldn’t normally have a chance to be on record. It’s not really limited to hardcore. I’m sure a lot of people will wonder why some of the bands are on the second one. It’s because they are bands that have been working with very little reward for a long time, and they deserve the break more than anyone else.“. Enjoy this classic!

One of the best swedish HC bands ever. Way underrated or maybe just forgotten because they refused to wear the punk “uniform”? Their mix of dark gloomy punk(Motstand i lader) and straightforward HC(Fat Boys and Little Boys) with clever lyrics make them one of Swedens most unique punk bands. For those of you who appreciate Missbrukarna and other high quality swedish HC/Punk Rock. This is their second 7inch.

If you’ve heard later stuff from Psycho you won’t believe this is the same band. After this they got a new drummer(the owner of Axction Records if I remember it right?) and god knows what happened but they became so incredible bad. This on the other hand is a total HC classic from 1983 and the first release of the famous Axction Records label that released many not so good records and tapes.

“Psycho was, and sometimes still is, a Boston-based punk band. The original lineup (Mick Keddy, Johnny X, Bill Normal, Denny Disorder) was formed in 1981 and stayed together for several years. Guitarist Johnny X is the only member to be in every lineup. Idol Threats, his previous band, got quite a bit of college radio airplay with their tape “Dance” in 1980.”

Kids are for trix, kids are for trix. Don’t tell me that it’s shameful ’cause their homelife was a bitch. Oh yeah!

If they only had stuck to the quality of What’s The Use? then this could’ve been a classic 7inch. That song has all the necessary ingredients of a Southern California punk rock winner. A little too long but it manage to hold the attention. One of the guys even has a moustache!! And we all know that’s a clear sign of a great band.

For once the FLEX! discography and I alomost agree:”Waverock on side A, not too interesting and kind of whiny. B side is a lot better; one tougher waverock tune and one real good melodic punk track. [6].“. It’s not even waverock it’s just rock. Totaly anonymus boring rock.

An underrated 7inch! Great Hardcore from the golden year of 1983. The FLEX Discography site is sometimes hilarious and so wrong in their descriptions of great records: “Simple garage punk with slight pop influence, three faster tracks and one that’s slower & longer. OK, but not too important. [6].“. Ha ha garage punk?? Pop influence?? Where? I don’t hear it. All I hear is a great Hardcore 7inch.
