TUNNELANGST - 180 BPM [Tape] 1997

Here's a fine tape from Herborn's Tunnelangst (which means "Fear Of Tunnels") and I remember them very well because the manager is a good friend of mine and singer Heini is a real charmin' man, this also applies to the whole band. I organized a gig together with Serene Fall in September 1998 and this evening's still remembered to this day. Sorry for delete the live recordings, always annoys me when I think back. Tunnelangst play punk in the classic british style of the early 80's, leather jackets, lots of alcohol, iros, and songs against all the wrongs of the world. Oh yeah, their scary looking singer (Heini had a iro as big as the fair tower) is also the model for the "Knuddelpunk 2" picture record. They were present on both "Sieger Sehen Anders Aus" compilations and in 1997 they released their full length CD on United Kids Records called "Gepflegte Szene" with fifteen heart attacks. Shortly after the band broke up due to musical differences, a few members founded the Rotten Bastards (Hardcore pur!) to put their musical outpourings into your bloody ears. This tape here contains both demos which they recorded 1996 or 1997 and has eight offensive punk trashers in German/English. Haut Rein!

Well, I still have one tonight and its the fifth volume of the classic Back To Front compilation on Incognito Records with rare and obscure punkrock worldwide and the vinyl version is again limited to 1000 copies. Was in principle already in sleep mode but it came surprisingly visit from a very good friend of mine and you know what that means. Fuck Off tomorrow, no matter that I have to sit at 6:00 on my bike so I shit fat on it, you only live once and the night I will enjoy. The whole ass-kisser doesn't live and I hope your none of those... The Gin tastes good, the music makes me breathe and the full moon salutes!

ÖVERSLAG - Varför Får Man Inte Va' Annorlunda 7'' 1980

This is a fine Hardrock 7inch from Överslag, only record when I'm right and also here null info about the band. Both songs have a really good dirty guitar and come across in a moderate mid-tempo sound. The flip side for me the winner because the tempo is more tightened and a classic 'Ho Ho Ho' singalong makes me singin' out loud, a solid solo in the middle...what more can I expected? Yep, I like this record, released on Noon Records, damn rare and if you find a copy don't hesitate. That's all for today, tomorrow is another.

LA UVI - Ya Está Bien EP 1982

Debut record by La Uvi, a four piece from Madrid, on Spansuls Records. Nothing new in Blogland but I've just arrived and got this band in my head during the train ride and it gets not out, surely you know what I mean. So reason enough to bring the boys back. Excellent kbd stuff and they are represented on numerous compilations, some also in the blog, search on the top left. The sun shines and I leave home briefly.

SERENE FALL - Demoband 1995

Starting to rip a few tapes last week and the beginning makes Serene Fall from Mönchengladbach with their demo tape from 1995. Seven melancholy punk songs we have here, partly unpublished and with "Just Friends" is one of their greatest songs on it. I remember, I get the tape after a gig in Gladbach and while driving home to Frankfurt it ran constantly (a miracle that it even still runs today). The band started as a four piece band as Mine, Ether Command in the late 80's, changed their name into My Eden Dies and it ends up as Serene Fall. To date, they have three albums and two singles out and after a long pause they shrunk to three. On the tape you can hear how important a second guitar is and for me is their sound much better as today. They had not found any useful musician, and so they go to third. Serene Fall is at home in punk with a strong dark touch and funny songs are different you know, very personally lyrics and Maul's remarkable voice is the best for this kind of music. - Enough babble, enjoy grandiose music from a small band and have a nice weekend!!!!

WIPERS - Complete Rarities 1979 - 1990

A must for this day are the Wipers, music for eternity in my opinion and We always had a good time with them. A bit info to this: Misunderstood, mistreated, underrated, and/or just plain unknown, Greg Sage should be mentioned in the first breaths about trailblazing guitarists and U.S. independent music of the '80s and '90s. Since forming his band, Wipers, in Portland/OR, in the late '70s Sage has been put through the ringer more than enough to justify his hermetic operating methods and attitude. This set just contains all the song material which was either not published regularly, outtakes, different versions, live recordings and three acoustic pearls. All done by myself and a worthy completion of this great music, b.t.w. I spent too much time ripping my vinyl. Now enjoy this unique and superb music and have a drink with me!

DIE PILSKÖPFE - Tausend Tolle Tage EP 1989

Today is a special day and my true follower know what I mean. So this Thursday starts with lots of rain and then at 10:00 a dentist appointment, I did it fast, had still something to do but this must wait and I'm back home and rip one more record and I am in my heart with my pearl. So this record is the only one by the Pilsköpfe, funny name but it's no funpunk, released via Intelrecords and two cuts were used for the great 1990 compilation Neues Deutschland and the title song is a beautiful love song which is about a lost relationship, describes the situation in which one is stuck and lettin' go is always hard but important. The other ones are no less bad, a solid record.

V/A - Songs From Pigland 1981

Faster back than expected and the following post was a request by Marcus and this compilation was released via Bull's Hit Records in a limited edition of 1000 copies and came with a cool handmade cover. Honestly, I do not know any of the bands and the musical range goes more into a New Wave, Alternative and a few experimental vibes, also punk goodies are there and my ears come 100% again.
