R.O.Conspiracy - Unofficial Tape


 Late 80's HC band with metallic licks. R.O.Conspiracy were from Groningen and were called Intensity for a short period and then changed their name. Full band name is Radical Overthrow Conspiracy. Not sure but I think there's a link with Bloedbad, a great early 80's HC punk band that did some demos as well as a split tape with Jetset.
There are 12 tracks on the tape but only 11 titles mentioned. Don't know the title of the last song. Also a cover of an SSD song.
First 2 songs ripped as one track.

1. Raison D'Être
2. Paradoxal Peace
3. If You Don't Care - Christian In Name
4. Reality's A Fact
5. Abbatoirs Of Greed
6. Above The Masses
7. Dark Tunnel
8. Repugnant Song
9. Display Of Impotence
10. We Shall Overthrow
11. Boston Crew (SSD)
12. Untitled

Underdogs - Demo

Here's the demo from Bruges punkband the Underdogs. As I am originally from Bruges, I don't know a lot about them. I got into punk a few years later so I never seen them live. Some members of Sperm did play as well as stand-in.
Underdogs appeared on the Punk Etc. comp. tape 'Allez Crachez' from 1982 and the "No Big Business" comp. album on Kleo in 1981. This "demo" actually compiles all those tracks.
No pictures of the band unfortunately but my good friend Mad Mohawk uploaded one song on Youtube.

1. War, War, War
2. Underdog
3. We're Still Alive
4. Third World Image
5. Bobo

Deranged - Live Zaal Patria 15/11/1980


Third and last live recording from this gig. I don't think there are any recordings of the Underdogs.
Deranged was a young punk band from Bruges. They only existed for a few months and this was their 1st gig. Don't think they lasted very long as members of Deranged and Rebel would start a new band called Sperm.
Omer wrote me that there are demo recordings of Sperm but he hasn't got any. He'll ask around and hopefully he can dig some up.
Deranged sound very simple and primitive here. But I think it's very cool someone recorded them in their very short existence. Otherwise they would only be remembered by the handful that seen them play live.
Thanks to Robin (ex-Deranged, Sperm) for leaving a comment here.

1. Kill Yourself
2. No You Don't
3. Deranged
4. Sad To Be With You
5. ?
6. The Instrumental Song
7. Fucking Awful
8. Roadrunner

V/A Gegen Nazis!


Another comp. tape released in the late 80's by the people behind B-Product that released both 'Ook Dit Is Belgisch' tapes posted here before. This time it's an international affair. They released another one called 'Unite And Win' which I have here but it's missing a large chunk of the 1st song so I'll be looking for a better copy.
B-Product was run by Vos and Carl Levecke. Both guys had a lot of international contacts and featured a lot of unknown bands on their tapes. I remember being introduced to some New-Zealand stuff like on that comp. 7" from 1987 on Out Of Order Records and the ultra-rare Nazgûl 12" (now that's a record still not posted on any blog out there).
Back to the tape:
1st band is Rotterdam squatters Anarcrust with their metallic, crusty HC sound. Released quite some records of which the 1st album is on Skuld Releases.
From the Phillipines we have Dead Ends. Released 3 tape albums on Twisted Red Cross.
From The Netherlands there's one song of Moengo Tapoe. They did an album 'Duende' in 1989.
Next is one song of Scream Of Protest from Greece. Can't find any further info.
Bleeding Nuns were a cool HC band from Oklahoma. Did a split tape with Beavers and appeared on some comp. tapes as well.
French band Original Disease is next. Released one 7" and a few tapes.
Deadlock is the German band. More deathcore/grind.
Last band on side A is Adiexodo from Greece. Released an album on Enigma in 1986.
Side B start with Canadian band Pankreasse. cool stuff. would like to hear their demo tape.
Germany's Nasty Nation is next with one song against nazis (I think the title should be 'Faschos In Land'). So is that the same band that maybe later turned rightwing? There seems to be a dodgy band with the same name.
3rd Greek band is Chaos Generation (Γενιά Του Χάους) . They were called Anti-Culture (Αντικουλτούρα) before. Formed in 1982, disbanded in 1989.
Cool, unknown Australian band Strange Stains is next.
2nd Phillipines band is Valley Of Death. Also appeared on a comp. tape on Twisted Red Cross.
From the same scene as Anarcrust we have Ptooooing. There's a 4-way split tape with both bands and also Vanity 4 and Sex Slaves.
Last band is from Brussels, Belgium; Mental Disturbance.

Lunatics - Live Zaal Patria 15/11/1980


Here's part 2 of this gig.
Lunatics were a punk band from Kortrijk and operated at the same time with the better known The Definitivos. Actually Peter, Lunatics guitarplayer joined The Definitivos later on. Both bands operated from the notorious 21, a local pub where all the punx hung around. Band changed name from Lunatics to Lunatix. For more info on the Kortrijk scene in the early days, check this site (Dutch only).
Only 6 songs in 15 minutes, and no titles except for one called '1984'. Maybe Peter could give us more info and the titles.
Omer also included a stub of a concert with Lunatix supporting Poison Girls in Ledegem.

Just got a mail from Peter. Here are the titles he remembers after all those years:
01 Painting Of A Star
02 ?
03 1984
04 RAF
05 ?
06 Bobby

Rebel - Live Zaal Patria 15/11/1980


Thanks to Omer for the rip of this one. Omer was the drummer of this punk band from Bruges. He also played drums for Sperm and as stand-in for The Underdogs as well.
Now this is a very rare recording that luckily survived on an old tape. Omer is planning to rip the other live stuff of Deranged (Bruges) and Lunatics (Kortrijk) as well. Never heard these bands before and I think only people who were there will remember them. From this gig I only heard The Underdogs before. Will post their demo soon.
Last song is cut-off unfortunately (end of tape). Rebel also play the most controversial song The Sex Pistols ever made.

Note: Omer just mailed me to let us know that the last song is 'Desertation', not 'Dedication'. You'll need to re-tag the MP3.

1. Guns In The Opposite Way
2. You Say You
3. Alone
4. Coming Up For Air
5. Belsen Was A Gas
6. Weekend
7. Forcy Face
8. Who's Life Is This
9. VMO
10. Desertation

V/A Dirty Methodes To Survive? Tape


Last of the batch of tapes I lend from Brob for the moment. Cool title despite the spelling mistake (Methods is written as Methodes in Dutch).
1st comp. tape made by Stoffy of Geraardsbergen. A 2nd one was already finished as well but I never heard/seen this one. It was also a benefit tape for organisations against animal cruelty. A subject that punx don't care a lot about these days.
Capital Scum delivers 4 live tracks. There are 5 titles mentioned but I could only find 4 songs. So I labelled 'Slavery' as 'Black Mind Slavery'. They also do 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' of Black Flag.
Eindhoven's Afflict follows with 1 song 'Sharon'.
De Panne's Disgorge is next with 3 tracks off their 2nd demo.
Repulsives from Tielt deliver 3 tracks from their aborted split LP.
Dutch all-female punkband Bambix bring us 3 early tracks.
Next are Shooting Skippies from The Netherlands. Don't know much about them. Melodic stuff.
Side B starts with 2 live tracks of The Dirty Scums.
Next is Rough Justice from Aalst with 3 live tracks. Posted their demo some time ago.
2 tracks follow of French HC band M.S.T.
Dutch crossover band Cry Of Terror follows with 3 tracks.
Next are 2 Polish thrashcore bands, The Corps and Nadzo'r. There's an extra track of Nadzo'r not mentioned on the sleeve.
Tape ends with Swat and his girlfriend with their rapcore project Deadly Serious.

V/A Stop Fascisme Tape


10th tape on Kurt Boelens' Kankertapes. This one was a benefit for the Limburg AFF.
This is a Belgian bands affair.
Side A starts with Chronic Disease. 3 live tracks, probably taken from the gig in Eeklo with Rose Rose. I have a feeling that the original tape where these songs come from,  runs a bit too fast on these recordings. Also cool to hear a more melodic song we did. 'Reflections' didn't last long in our set as it was quite different from our other songs.
Next is René Binamé Et Les Roues De Secours. This band is still active today but shortend their name to René Binamé. Second song 'Jesus Sur Sa' should actually be ' Jesus Sur Sa +'.
One track from garage-rockers The Midnight Men. Released an album on Punk Etc. in 1989. Had Hazel in the band who later joined Rise Above.
2 tracks from Brussels HC-band Mental Disturbance.
Just Something follows with 2 melodic punk tracks. Found out that this was the 1st band of the Stubbe brothers. David Stubbe is better known as drummer for Neuthrone, Holefiller, Möse and Gura (and some other, lesser known projects, bands).
Toespieze was a band from the Bruges-area with Meyer and Sling of Chronic Disease. They recorded one demo of which the 2 tracks were taken from.
Doodt Illegaal follows with 2 songs from their split tape with Youth Crew.
 5 Les evolved out of Indecency. They bring us 2 tracks of melodic HC bordering on alternative rock.
Deadly Serious was Swat's rapcore project. Quite funny. Swat ran Zelfkrant zine.
One song included from funpunkers The Dirty Scums.
W.C.P. is the last band. 6 tracks of noisecore with Arnie Chaos on drums. I left those tracks as one track as it was impossible to seperate.

Note: side A has quite some gaps in the songs unfortunately. I guess something went wrong copying from the original tape. It's a bit annoying to listen to.
