V/A Lung Cookies LP


Compilation released as a joint effort between Smoke Seven Records and Your Flesh zine.
This was originally planned as a cassette compilation but turned into a vinyl edition as vinyl gets more attention than tapes.
Recording quality varies with each band and most were taken from demo recordings.
Ten Minute Warning is a short-lived post-Fartz band.
Final Conflict is the Minneapolis one here who did a great 7" as well.
The Rejectors' songs seem like demo versions of the songs that appear on the split with The Accused.
RF7 songs also appeared on the 'Submit To Them Freely' 7" on Smoke Seven.
Willful Neglect released 2 great mini-albums back in the day, compiled on CD a few years ago.
Sacred Order did an album on Mystic and appear on quite a few comp. tapes as well.
No Thanks from NY deliver 1 song from their demo. Lengua Armada released a discography LP a while back with the very rare 'Are You Ready To Die' 7", 1982 demo and live in CBGB's.
Ground Zero, Otto's Chemical Lounge and Boy Elroy were all from Minneapolis but I don't know anything about them.
Red Meat is another mystery to me as this is the only output I know of them.

Extremes - From Both Sides LP


Here's another record from a band that appeared on the 'The Not So Lucky Country' compilation.
Originally they were called Human Waste and started in 1984. Phil MacDougal, owner of Reactor Records was on vocals back then. After some line-up changes, the band changed name to Extremes.
This album was released in 1987 on Cleopatra Records. Songs were recorded at Hardcore House by Smeer, guitarplayer of Depression and drummer of Gash.
There's an extra track 'Super Powers' mentioned on the backsleeve but it doesnt appear on the record.
A 2nd LP was recorded for Waterfront Records but was never released as the band split up. But it seems that there's a plan to release it one of these days.

3. Search & Destroy
4. Threat Of War
5. Adolf Joh

Dis-Organized Bunch Of Fuckers - So Full Of Lies LP


Here's the second effort of the Bremen punk gang Dis-Organized Bunch Of Fuckers. 18 songs in about 30 minutes. Great recording as well.
The sleeve is a bit weird. It's a fold-out sleeve with the lyrics printed on the outside and having a band picture on the inside. Not very creative me thinks.
The Finnish titled 'Ytheiskunnan Uhrit' means 'Victims Of Society'.
The band did another LP "Not Bound To Rules" in 1988 which I never heard before. Seems to be more metal influenced.
This album was released in 1986 on their own Pöbel Records label and was the 2nd release after their split with Nebenwirkung, posted a while ago.


1. Mass Destruction
2. UCA
3. Death Laborities
4. So Full Of Lies
5. Kids Trained To Kill
6. DB
7. No Way
8. Benefactor Of Death
9. Challenger
10. Rumour-Monger
11. Think And Refuse
