Brothers Grimm / Ghost Dance Horse Nation / Christians One of my favorite bands at the time, Death Cult were to me the real deal, soon enough though they got super big with a cod-metal attitude and were much less favoured by myself. This debut 12″ was a fine start to the career of the band, and Ian […]
In America / Need A Job / Laurel Grove Apartheid / Gov’t Worker / Better ‘N Me I loved this band from over the pond. Uploaded tonight is the only 12″ single that Beefeater released on the excellent Olive Tree Records. Jabbs from Nottingham band Eyes On You re-released this product for the U.K market on his […]
Dark Streets Of London The Band Played Waltzing Matilda Just fancied a change tonight so stuck on the Pogue Mahone 7″ single, a wonderful debut single recorded and released with the help of Stan Brennan, ex manager of The Nips, who took this new band under his wing for the first couple of years of […]
One Bright Spark / Come Into My Soul / Armchair Observer Once Proud Now Dead / A Song Of Deep Hate The second release by those pesky Hagar’s, jollying up a normally depressing evening of Crass clone bands with their brand of more colourful compositions way back in the day. Originally an all girl band […]
Doriella Du Fontaine Instrumental Originally recorded in 1969, Jimi Hendrix playing a blinder on the bass as well as definately not faking the funk on guitar. Buddy Miles from Hendrix’s other outfit The Band Of Gypsy’s is the percussionist on this recording. Jalal Nuridden from the influential New York militant rappers The Last Poets is in the […]
No Hope For The Wretched / Time To Die No Justice / Recession The second release from Inferno Records c/o Tempest Records in Birmingham. A little more mid paced and melodic than The Varukers single below, with the fabulously named Bill Idiot on vocal duties…Again I know nothing of this band, but do remember playing the single a […]
Protest And Survive / No Scapegoat Soldier Boy / Never Again Debut release on Inferno Records run by Tempest record shop in Birmingham, next release was by Dead Wretched which is also a slab of tip top pogo punk. This band I know hardly anything about except they reminded me of Discharge at the time […]
Harry May National Insurance Blacklist South London’s half decent Oi band The Business giving it a go with the original line up (a far poppier sounding line up than the reformed band that emerged a year or so after this single was released). The tracks uploaded from this debut 7″ single are surprisingly classy. The terrace anthem type A side ‘Harry May’ is […]
Gee Sus artwork – International Anthem #3 Punk Is Dead / Mother Love / Rival Tribal Revel Rebel / Bata Motel / Hello Hero / Banned From The Roxy / Do They Owe Us A Living? / G’s Song A Crass performance at the 100 Club that was shared with Serious Damage, a skinhead band […]
