Killed By Death Records

The fact that this was posted 1 year ago over at Good Bad Erich needs to be celebrated with this repost including all the scans.As you all know Stains moved to SF and became MDC.

One of my highlights in my career as the drummer for Swedens Raped Teenagers was when we opened up for MDC in Stockholm 1987. MDC came in and was all over the place except for Dave that I was able to talk a little to and seemed mentally stable and physically fit. The bass player kept asking for pot and was one hell of a guy when it came to yoga. I was amazed at how he could bend his legs when he did some yoga right before the gig. They where also very supportive and told us we kicked ass. We had our bald headed, skinny violinist Lachen with us that didn’t seem to be appreciated by all the studs and mohawks punk. But we rocked and left them with an impression that you can use violin in HC if you want to.

It’s a new year coming and remember that we all where born to die!!!

This is a re-post from April the 3rd 2006. Added more scans, new rips, Paddedd Cell and Tumor Boy.

There’s no doubt that these punk rockers are mentally ill. How well they capture it in this fuzzy buzzy manic sing along punk rock anthem. Where are the psychos in punk nowadays? Recommendations? No not The Spits I don’t like them.

This is a re-post from April the 21th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and I Wanna Be A Cowboy. Got a sleeve now. Please let me know if this sounds better then the old rips since I’m using some new gear.

No, Rob Noxious(Guy Robert at eBay: lewdsnot, zoloft_anaconda,thingsdogsdo) didn’t give me a sleeve to this one either. If anyone have a 150dpi scan to hand over to me that would be higly appreciated. So the sleeve is once again taken from Henry Welds American Punk Discography. Hope you hear Ians voice when I say: “Thanks Henry!”. What about Buck Byron? You tell me. Haven’t find anything on the Internet. You won’t get the b-side cause it’s not good. It’s a waste of bandwith to have it available.

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.

A little story about the band:

Hymn #84.mp3

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.
