Active Ingredients - s/t 7"

I think there are a few bands called Active Ingredients but this one is the Lexington, Kentucky band.
Active Ingredients did 2 7"s, this one and the 2nd one 'Bringing Down The Big Boys'. The latter one has been bootlegged in 1993 on an LP which also has the Catatonics, Clitboys and Mecht Mensch 7"s.
Both are rare these days.
This 7" was released in 1984. Compared to the 2nd one, it sounds a bit thin. A version of 'Service With A Smile' also appears on 'Bringing Down The Big Boys'.


1. Service With A Smile
2. Take From The Poor, Give To The Rich
3. Straight Jacket
4. You Suck

Nebenwirkung/Dis-Organized Bunch Of Fuckers - Split LP

Split album of 2 Bremen hardcore punk bands. Released in 1985 on Pöbel Records.
Nebenwirkung did a 7" 'Gewalt' on Heimat in 1984. Another 7" was released in 1987 but it seems to be more metal-influenced.
Dis-Organized Bunch Of Fuckers were a bit controverisal back in the day, especially for their song 'Ich Kann's Nich Versteh'n', which sounds quite homophobic although they claim to be not homophobic at all. Chaotic Dischord seems to be their main influence. After this split, they did 2 more albums, the 'So Full Of Lies' LP (1986) (which I plan to post later) and the more metal influenced 'Not Bound To Rules' (1988).

This split is quite long so I split both sides in 2 files.

Target Of Demand - Man's Ruin MLP

Here's a great but somehow overlooked hardcore band. They also appear on the 'When Men Were Men...' comp. LP posted a while ago.
They are a straight-edge band but their lyrics stay far away from the usual cliché topics of such bands. Most of them are attacks on the rich, the government,...
After the split, some member(s) formed the band Dissension whose 'Why Work For Death' is also a classic. They did a 2nd LP in the late 80's.
'Man's Ruin' was self-released in 1983.

1. The Poor Rich
2. Funny, Huh?
3. Government
4. Man's Ruin
5. Not The One

Insanity Defense - Pilgrim State LP

Insanity Defense play hardcore punk with a melodic edge. They were from NY. Consisted of 3 members: Jeff Earing on vocals & guitar, Ron Phillips on drums and Nelson Rowe on bass.
Don't know anything about them. 'Pilgrim State' is their only release from 1985.
Pilgrim State seems to be a notorious psychiatric ward.
The last song 'Witchhunt' is a slow dirge song.


1. Pilgrim State
2. I'm Waiting
3. Something To Believe In
4. Let Me Help
5. How Long?
6. Make The Change
7. It Used To Be
8. Common Ground
9. Epitaph

Clyng-Onz/Psychedelic Skeletons - Split LP

Here's the 2nd and last release on Anchorage, Alaska label Bullhead Records. This is a split album with 2 punkbands, Clyng-Onz and Psychedelic Skeletons, released in 1985. Quite different from the Skate Death album. Especially the Psychedelic Skeletons have some weird songs here.
Don't have any info on these bands. We should be glad that someone had the idea to release some Alaskan punk on record otherwise there wouldn't have been much known about punk in Alaska to the rest of the world.


More punk from Alaska! Hot on the heels of SKATE DEATH comes this split LP of strange and diverse sounds. The CLYNG-ONZ are a more primitive, goofy band while the SKELETONS have a diversified sound from trashy grungy to weird dischordant noisefests.(MRR #35)

1. Let's Get Juvenile
2. Environmental Song
3. Ten Miles North
4. Jiz's Revenge

ZZZ Hacker - Kind, Sieh Da Nicht Hin! 7"

Here's another one of my friend. Think it's quite rare.
Actually I don't know anything of ZZZ Hacker. They were from Bielefeld and this 7" was self-released in 1983. The 'Pogographie 4' book states this as well done hardcorepunk with kinky lyrics. There's no lyrics sheet and my German isn't that great so I wouldnt know.

1. Jim Knödle
2. Schwarze Rote Gelbe
3. Ein Männlein
4. No More Müsli (Für Petra)
5. Zum Geburtstag
6. Nordseestrand

Where's The Pope? - Straight Edge Holocaust MLP

Now let's get back to Australia. Here's another fine record, this time of Where's The Pope? from Adelaide.
The sleeve art probably caused some problems with the straight edge kids. It's a bit of a simplistic assault but understandable. While XXX kids were fulminating against peer pressure, some of them used the same tactic as well.
Where's The Pope? started in 1985 and were influenced by the US skatecore bands. 'Jesus Gets Rich' is an attack on religion, while 'There Goes The Neighbourhoood' is an ironic aproach towards the racism in Australian society.
Never heard their 2nd album 'Sunday Afternoon Barbeques' but it seems to be not that hardcore anymore.
This mini-album was the last release on Reactor Records in 1988.

1. You Dick
2. D.U.I.
3. Jesus Gets rich
4. Pizza To Go
5. No Better Than Us
6. There Goes The Neighbourhood
7. Computer Error
8. Me And My Gun
