Killed By Death Records

This is a re-post from March the 27th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and I Wanna Be Your Man. This almost tops The Eat.

Ahhh so intense. Listen to the hi-hat sound. You don’t hear that nowadays. And the clicking sound when hitting the ride cymbal. Add to that the (r)obnoxious “I don’t give a fuck” style of singing and we have a winner. And the way they end the song it sounds like they’re just glad it’s over. The b-side “I Wanna Be Your Man” is a great cover with inspirational vocals.

First installment of the fantastic The Eat. I like the second,posted some months ago, release but this is an insane piece of punk rock. And it’s recorded live! I hardly like live recordings but here it works perfect. It got so much energy and inspiration I can picture the whole band in front of me while the needle carves its way into vinyl. And last and most important: the songs are short! And the sleeve!! Take a look at it ladies and gentlemen! Can it get much better? Let’s see when a new post hits the blog if I can top this.

This is a great two sider! Cheap too! Get it! Underrated? I think so. Ultra thin production and cheap guitar sound makes this a total winner.

“If you’re gonna do something. Do it right. Don’t use bullets. Use dynamite.”

What do you prefer? Pop Oi!? Ok, put on Doin The Lambeth Walk. Are they taking the piss out of Oi!? Maybe and hopefully. A seriously terrible song that shall immediately be deleted after download. Or do you prefer pop till you drop with a clever arrangement and sweet hooks? Then Kids In Uniform is the way to go. A song for just about every moment in your life: wanking, farting, kissing, pissing, fucking, sucking and ducking. A long time since I posted such a great song as this.

After some research I found out that Introze actually was an Oi! band ha ha ha holy fuck! It must be the first Oi! band I’m posting. And the last too I hope.

Here’s what Dizzy from Detour Records write:
“South London – the home of Pop-Oi! – and the birthplace of The Introze…”

Allright the b-side sucks worse then a toothless crack whore. But I Died Four Times does live up to the high standard you could expect from an Aussie band. A bit sloppy, a bit false and big bit great. Love it when the lyrics are spitted out in a hectic pace.

If I was a lyricist or had the ability to reflect a bit more over music other then “this is great”, “ouch! this is awesome” or “fuck this is sooo bad” this post would be a bit longer.

First posted by the now defunct(?) Something I Learned Today blog. What shall hit you first is the extremly great guitar sound. Fuzzy, messy and cheap. Sounds like it has been amplified through a small 10 Watt Marshall(you know these cigarette package sized ones) pushed up to eleven. The lyrics are composed with care and true concern about inmates, Reagan, animals, tyrants and the usual suspect. A nice punk package for someone getting into punk and its philosophy for the first time.

By the way this is an awesome record! Enjoy.

From the dark woods of black metal, burning churches and Fleksnes comes this crude and amateurish punk rock oil dripping piece. Clever London Houses would’ve been more talked about if it was released by a UK band I guess. It’s so goddamn catchy. Compared to the b-side you hear that the kids really dig what they’re playing. They keep the song together by pure will. So it sounds to me at least. The b-side is boring, boring, boring. Long, slow and uninteresting. Sure it sounds like punk did in the head of the people who weren’t into it.

Here’s a interview and some nice info about Anakonda, unfortunately only in norweigan: -Är det du som kallas för Anakonda? -Nej. -Försök inte att slingra dig.

Does it matter if it’s a first press or not? To some it does. This is the first press which you can tell by the labels being white instead of yellow as on the second press, pressed up in the late 80s(?). The bass got a great plonk sound and the guitar has just so much treble it’s on the border to hurt your ears.

To my ears the whole production sounds very proto hardcore. The year of release is 1978 but could’ve been 1981 too if you ask me. I’m especially found of Chris D’s vocals and of course his great lyrics. This debut and their first LP is alright with me yeah yeah.

This is a joint venture together with Good Bad Music to expose one of the best bands ever namely Abba. Erich takes on the job to expose you to Take A Chance On Me.

My first punk band formed in 1978 was called Zabba Abba. Which means something like destroy Abba. What a shame! To pay repent I must post this cute little piece with a sweet introduction of each of the members and what they want you to know about Sweden. Agneta, the hottest of the ladies, tells you that we “Talk about love.” I can only agree. I would love to share a story about when she secretly let me touch her butt ones when I was in my late teens but I save that for another day. Listen to the wonderful string arrangement and weep.

Koskenkorva, knifes, sauna, pimples, lakes, forests and a strange and harsh language pretty much sums up Finland/Soumi to me plus a couple of great punk and hardcore bands. Here’s the debut from Lama. I’ve posted their second and third releases a long time ago. Guess they need to be reposted.

I’ve been to the twin cities Saint Paul/Minneapolis in Minnesota for a week and I’m pretty fucked up now. Need some rest. Just want to post something so you guys and girls don’t go nuts.
