Spazm 151 - Sworn To Fun Loyal To None 7"

Great Texas HC punk from the late 90's. All their stuff is worth tracking down. They did a 2nd 7" for Havoc, an album for Mind Control and a split album with React on 13th Floor.
Here's Spazm 151's 1st release, on Uncontrolled Records, a small local label that also released EP's of Ballistics and Federal Offense.
Not going to say that this 7" is their best but it's still excellent stuff. It's also the hardest release to find.

2. Rent A Cop
3. Fuck Your Progress
4. Frozen World

V/A Ook Dit Is Belgisch MC

First in a series of 2 comp. tapes released by 2 guys I knew very well back in the day. They also put up shows and made some international comp. tapes as well.
Here you'll find all Belgian bands. Some are known, others are lost in complete obscurity. A lot of different styles as well. This tape was issued in 1988. It strikes me, being from Belgium, that some bands I've never seen live and know nothing about.

Mad Noise were from Ostend I think. Not very noisy but basic punkrock.
Struggle For Peace is a band I know nothing about.
Agathocles is the most wellknown band here. 3 early tracks recorded live.
The Dirty Scums is known as well. All live tracks as well (and ripped as one track).
Dawn Of Liberty were from Limburg and played political HC with a metal edge. The only non-UK band that can be found on the 'Vile Peace' comp. LP on Peaceville. Last song 'Divided' is not on the tape and 'Blokkade' is cut off unfortunately.
Bad Influence is the 3rd wellknown band. These tracks were taken from the very 1st demotape.
Who Cares? were also from the coastal area. Recorded live. One of the members later started crossover band M.O.P. who played a lot of gigs. This band came to an end when the drummer shot his ex-girlfriend. Sad but true.
Full Time Drinkers were from Ostend as well. Had Vos on lead vocals, one of the guys who compiled this tape. Lives in Thailand now I guess.
Telefoon Hijgers and Factory Noise are both unknown to me. Last track of Factory Noise is cut off as well.

It's a great snapshot of the Belgian scene in the late 80's. My friend (from whom I borrowed this tape) has the 2nd volume as well.
Agathocles, The Dirty Scums and Bad Influence still exist to this day (although mostly with a different line-up).
Uploaded to megaupload 'cos it's a pretty big file (90 mins. tape)

After this album released in 1984, followed the '14 Flaming Farts' album (1985). Both were self-released.

Gash - s/t 7"

Thanks to the people at 7inchcrust for this rare 7".
This is the 1st release of Gash when they became a trio. Singer Anna left the band and guitarplayer Liz took over the vocals. Like Depression, they also left Reactor Records for Cleopatra. This is also the 2nd phase of this band going a bit more metal. Still like this 7" more than the 'Positive Change' album.
I found out that 'The Lesson' and 'World Turmoil' were released in Germany on a split 7" with Depression. The other 2 tracks can also be heard on the 'Apathy... Never!' comp. album released on Over The Top.
This 7" was released in 1986.

V/A 77 KK LP

1st release on French label 77 KK. This compilation has one side of French bands, the other has US bands.
I must admit that I'm not a big fan of the typical skunk sound of the French bands. The French scene was full of violence at the time from what I've heard.
The comp. starts with Snix from Lille, one of the most dodgy bands from France. Skinhead band with a violent following. They also released an album on Rock-O-Rama so that says a lot. Not going to accuse them as a WP band but they were very patriotic and probably didn't have a problem with the more extreme side of the skinhead movement. Also did an LP on 77 KK as well.
Warrior Kids brings us a more ska-influenced punk track. Also did an album for 77 KK.
Some of the US bands' tracks were already released but Red Tide, Mission Impossible and Ghost Walks deliver exclusive ones.
Ghost Walks is a follow-up band of Stains (from Portland, not the SST band).

1. Snix - Pas Le Droit à L'Erreur
2. Trotskids - Dernier Repas
3. Tolbiac's Toads - Il Suffirait D'Un Jour
4. Nevrose - L'Amour Aveugle
5. Al Kapott - Bretagne 44
6. Warrior Kids - Ville Morte
7. Collabos - Tagadagadag
8. 76% Uncertain - Coffee Achievers
9. D.O.A. - I'm Right You're Wrong
10. Red Tide - Where Sea Meets Sky
11. White Cross - More Lies
12. Mission Impossible - Life Already Drawn
13. Youth Brigade - Sink With California
14. Ghost Walks - Fallen Angel

Disgorge - Big Trouble Bachten De Kupe MC

A few bands use Disgorge as bandname but this one is the Belgian one. Maybe some will know them from a split 7" with Agathocles released in the late 80's.
Disgorge started somewhere mid-80's in Veurne, close to the French border and the sea. The area is known as 'Bachten De Kupe' as it lays behind the Yser, a small river that played an important role in the 1st World War.
The later Disgorge sounded pretty grindy with a drummer that really didn't have a problem playing blast beats. He even played once with my old band when our drummer was forced to leave by his parents. Total improvisation and way too fast! But a cool guy nevertheless. They did a 2nd demo "New Wave Sucks" but here is the more hardcore-sounding 1st tape of them released in 1986. Some people think of Zyklome A when listening to this.
It seems that they got some problems with the local new wave folks who laughed at them so hence the title of the song and 2nd demo.
Don't know what happened to them later but I heard a rumour that one of them is a cop now.
