SVART FRAMTID - 1984 EP

Svart Framtid (Black Future) is regarded as the first one-piece band out of the Blitz-House and they were pioneers because they were the first Norwegian hardcore band that went on international tour. The Band had no bandbil so they bought instead interrail tickets and took the train around Germany from city to city and almost booked gigs along the way. Svart Framtid released only this awesome six-track EP which came out as the first release on vocalist Gunnar Nuven its newly established label Plateselskap and a live tape called "Live Blitz" which was recorded live at Blitz Oslo on 23.12.84. Gunnar Nuven was from the first era of punks in Oslo, he had among others and made his mark as a vocalist in the band Rush. The band dissolved in 1984 and Gunnar Nuven continued in bands like Kafka Process and So Much Hate. Harald Tredal continued in the band Locked Doors and Behind Bars and has also tried acting with a small role in the Norwegian film Schpaaa 1998. Nils Aune continued in the band Four Fæle guys, Kafka Process and Raga Rockers. Anders Eide continued in Behind Bars. This EP has high aggregate value and traded a few times a year for well over a thousand tag on eBay. "Scorching those decibels with an uproarious thrash barrage is Norway's Svart Framtid, jumping from chord to chord with different paces and plucks. Six exciting numbers that focus on major world wide problems, as the crude vocalist screams out in agony, like the people who feel it day after day. Speedy guitar with rapid drum splashings lead Svart Framtid into a hectic dose of creative, yet alarming piledrivers. Great active stuff, the tip of the iceburg in Norway. On X-Port Plater." - Pushead, from Puszone, January 1985

VOPO'S - Dead Entertainment 1981

Start the weekend with a further classic album which was releaased on Redlux Records. The response over their debut 7inch (here) was not little and now I found the album on my hard drive and in the net it's present but most of the links are dead and hereby a wish is fulfilled, is that nothing??? Vopo's were founded 1978 in Zwolle and was one of the oldest bands from cheese-roller-country. This is their awesome debut album and I can tell you this record is a decent heightening, everythings is in its right place. Check more Vopo's on divers comps on wdthtc. Don't wanna waste my time with fuckin' words, get this ass-kicker and shut up!

INOCENTES - Adeus Carne 1987

So, one is still going and we cross the atlantic and stop in São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil. The Inocentes were formed 1981 and with their first record Miséria E Fome, released 1983, they get my full attention. Two of the four tracks appeared on the Life Is A Joke compilation via Weird System and both are fuckin' killers (I think you know the songs) but first they contributed four smasher on the Brazilian comp. Grito Suburbano from 1982. During their first incarnation in the first half of the 1980s, the band played basic energetic and politically charged hardcore punk. This record is their first full length on WEA and unfortunately not so aggressive as in their early days, a pity. But the gentlemen are very active and have continuously produced albums and are still alive. Not a bad album but I would have wished more hardcore.

V/A - Unquestinably Late For The Trend... EP 1996

This is a real surprise and I did not know there is another 7Inch with that name. I recently posted the 12'' compilation a few days ago and here are more cuts from this session I think which made it not on the whole record. And seventeen years later the label Existential Vacuum published this rare one in an edition of 1012 copies, more Texas punk, all recorded 1978-1979. Released in a folded cardboard sleeve with an insert, detailing the history of ESR and the bands on this 7Inch. Nice release, all scans included, enjoy!

EXTRABREIT - Hart Wie Marmelade 7'' 1980

A little nostalgia with old German rockin' stuff tonight with this 7inch from Extrabreit. The flip is a none album track and what should I say, it's long tome ago that Hart Wie Marmelade was played everywhere in the club in these times and I am always amazed in which countries the old NDW records land up and be heard. It was a nice time with interesting music, that can't be denied or? I know you like the stuff because the download link of their third album is still active. Two decent numbers, very well played, good lyrics, even today still okay.

BRYGADA KRYZYS - Live 1982

A nice little live album by this Polish combo which was recorded sometime in 1981 with eight good songs, released via Fresh Records. Musically you should not expect the typical kbd sound, rather over five minutes numbers mixed with two-three ones. The quality is quite okay and if you need more input so click to their s/t LP which I posted months ago and more infos. Now a hot shower and afterwards soccer World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland.

THE CYBERMEN - You're To Blame 7'' 1979

"This British punk band released two 7" records on their own Accrington-based Rockaway label: The Cybermen EP (1978, aka Cybernetic Surgery) and the You're to Blame 7''. Their songs boast intelligent lyrics, well-performed vocal harmonies and catchy riffs, but little is known about the group besides the line-up: Ian P Dixon (Bass/Vocal), Paul Milek (Drums) & Roger Entwistle (Guitar/Vocal). Because of their name, some record dealers will attempt to charge ludicrous amounts of money for these records, but they're worth hearing should you find someone selling them at an honest price! The You're To Blame single came with a "Free Info Pack", a sheet of typed and signed A4 paper that revealed that the band had been quiet since their first release (which apparently John Peel had "loved... needless to say") owing to the "unfortunate 'borrowing" of most of their equipment!"

VORKRIEGSJUGEND - s/t LP 1985

Now a request and the last for today: Vorkriegsjugend were a very influential cult hardcore punk band from Berlinand the band exists for four years (1982–85). However, they are considered to be one of the most notable and influential German bands of the period. While active they released a double 7" and an album. Their discography is currently available on CD via the Hamburg based label Weird System. The band, with only the drummer as a band member of the original line-up, reformed in 1998 and released an EP called 'Widerstand Dem Teutonenland'. They split up for good in 1999. This record is nowadays a rarity and can be sold for more than fifty dollars. The 7" is even more rare. There was an official re-release i form of a 12'' by New Face Records from Brasil in 1988. The original 7inch has no second pressing and can be buy for more than one hundred and fifty dollars which makes it one of the most expensive German punk records in history. So enjoy this classic stuff, all artwork included.

BROKEN TOYS - Dirt 1991

Before I waste my time today with ripping some records first a post. The Broken Toys from Boston play bubblegum-based punk rave-ups with so much raw energy and urgency that they vividly recall New York’s finest, the Ramones. Over the past ten years, The Broken Toys have released countless singles and cassettes, appeared on numerous LP and CD compilations and toured Europe no less than five times. Earlier this year, Broken Toys signed with the German label Incognito Records and Dirt, their thirteen-song debut, is crammed with hooky, guitar-driven ditties like “Control Myself,” “Nothing to Do,” and the sarcastic “I’m Aware You’re Perfect” Broken Toys’ melodic sense arid occasional use of harmonies make their best cuts not only infectious, but danceable. Melodic ‘77 Punk rock which sounds sometimes like the Ramones. These guys specialize in rockin’ three-chord punk with memorable choruses and raw performance and production values. Above average; has the added benefit of good energy and loads of sarcastic humor. Have they seen 1990 in Hamburg/Marquee and was thrilled. If you’re into '77 style, get this quick. You can’t go wrong.
