V/A Amuck LP

As requested by Donut Duck.
'Amuck' was the 1st compilation that Phoenix, Arizona label Placebo did. Maybe not as consistent as 'This Is Phoenix Not The Circle Jerks' but has some interesting moments. I'll have to warn you that it's not all punk here, especially on the 2nd side. Placebo wasn't a strict punk label as they released some experimental stuff as well like the 'Dry Lungs' series.
Ex-Velvet Underground Maureen Tucker played drums for Paris 1942.

Deface - s/t 7" / Government Denies Knowledge 7"

One of the better bands from the 90's. Deface isn't so wellknown but members are veterans of the USHC scene. Kevin Reed and Eric McIntire were also in the first line-up of Attitude Adjustment. Eric played bass on the 'Deadly Serious' demo. Kevin was replaced by Andy Andersen and Eric was asked to leave the band afterwards. So they didn't appear on their most wellknown release 'American Paranoia'. After Attitude Adjustment fell apart, they reformed with Kevin and Eric which released albums like 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and 'Out Of Hand'. You could say that Deface was the follow-up band as Sean Sutton who plays guitar in Deface, also played in the last line-up of Attitude Adjustment.
Eric and Kevin also play in the great Deathtoll. They have a 7" on Kangaroo Records and a split album with Blown To Bits on Despotic Records.

Attitude Adjustment reformed again. Check their Myspace page here.
Deathtoll on MySpace here.
Deface on MySpace as well here.

Imminent Attack - Element Of Surprise MLP

This band from the US was formed in the early 80's. Members were from Mt. Hoteb and Madison, WI.

Guitarplayer Mike Hunsberger is still active as a musician and played in Westworld and Alien Faktor. He works solo now as Vampire Tap.
There's an interesting page on Imminent Attack here with full list of recordings and pictures from the old days.

Utter Stench - Cry For Help LP

If you downloaded the 'Not So Lucky Country' comp., then you already heard of Utter Stench. The song 'Slappy's' appears here as well.
The band was formed in 1985 and this album was their only release. It was issued on Cleopatra Records in 1987. This label was also the home of Gash, Depression and Extremes.
Some members were fanatic skaters, so you could say that Utter Stench is a hardcore skatepunk band.
The band split up soon after the album was released. 2 members formed Terrorize, the singer became a member of Killing Time which changed their name to Mantissa.
Original member Borgy seems to be a wellknown skateboard manufacturer. I should say 'was', as he passed away in 1997, just before there were plans for reforming Utter Stench.

The whole band history can be found on Kill From The Heart.

1. Fear
2. Ozone Layer
3. Friend Or Foe
4. Suicidal Race
5. Where Is He ?
6. The Gadafi Waltz
7. Happy Song
8. Slappy's
9. Triumph Or What
10. Cry For Help

V/A World War III? LP

Here's a request by Donut Duck of The Blasting Concept blog.
'World War III?' is one of the many bootlegs that Rot Records issued in the mid-80's. The label isn't mentioned on the sleeve but it is definitely put out by Dunk. He was the original singer for Riot Squad and all early releases on the label are of Riot Squad. Other bands were Animal Farm, Paranoia, Clockwork Soldiers, The Enemy and Resistance 77.
Rot also released a bunch of comps. of which some were made of demotracks of which the bands never gave their permission and never received royalties as well. One of the most dodgy labels there ever was.
Here's a list of bootlegs which don't mention the label name:
- Let's Get Pissed, It's Christmas
- Let's Get Pissed, It's Christmas Again
- Religious As Hell
- What Are You Doing With That Hole In Your Head?
- Punk Lives Let's Slam
- Punk Lives Let's Slam 2

Dunk took tracks from existing records to put on 'World War III?':
Threats: from the 'Politicians And Ministers' 12"
Crude SS: from the 'Who'll Survive' 7"
Tin Can Army: from the split album with Maniacs
Raw Power: from the BCT tape
Wulpse Varkens, Vortex & Zyklome A: from the 'Alle 24 Goed' comp. LP
Rövsvett: from the 'Jesus Var En Tomte' 7"
Rattus: from the 'Uskonto On Vaara' 12"
Jonee Jonee: from the 'Blar Azzurro' 7"

Would like to mention that the sound quality is standard bootleg compared to the original records.

Threats- Can't Stop
Crude SS - Sick Pleasure
Tin Can Army - Cop
Raw Power - Fuck Authority
Wulpse Varkens - Nr 14
Vortex - it's What They Say
Rövsvett - P.O.B.
Rattus - Sotahullut
Jonee Jonee - Bolox Camera
Tin Can Army - Jesus
Wulpse Varkens - Kweenogni
Rövsvett - Jehovas
Threats - Underground Army
Jonee Jonee - Rich People
Crude SS - Deny It
Zyklome A - Noise & Distortion
Vortex - Boudha
Raw Power - Burn The Factory

Skate Death - You Break It-You Buy It LP

Already told you that I got some interesting records of a friend. Well here is the 2nd one (Porno Patrol was the 1st).
Skate Death was a HC/punk band from Alaska. There isn't much to be found on the punk scene in Alaska but one label called Bullhead Records managed to release 2 records in the mid-80's. The Skate Death album, released in 1985, is the 1st one. The 2nd one is the Psychedelic Skeletons/Clyng-Onz split LP which I have and plan to post later.
Skate Death play 20 tracks in about 30 minutes. Lyric sheet isn't included but I think most lyrics aren't that serious. This record isn't so easy to find these days but it's a great listen.

1. Food Is Good
2. Everything You Know
3. Research And Destroy
4. Psalm
5. Cecils Revenge
6. Disorder
7. My Parents Are Disappointed
8. Spare Change
