Violent Mosquitos - Leads To Disaster Tape


Violent Mosquitos were from Aalst and were around from 1986 till the early 90's.
I've seen the band multiple times as they were from the same city where Smurfpunx did their gigs at Netwerk. When a band cancelled, they were asked to play.
The 'Leads To Disaster' demo is probably from their formative years as it doesn't sound as tight as their live gigs. The songs sound unfinished and sometimes they play out of sync.
Violent Mosquitos released a 7" called 'World's Already Dead' in 1988. Never heard it I must admit.
Bassplayer Frank and guitarplayer JC formed the Pitbull Boys after Violent Mosquitos ended.
Some songs are fun songs which is no surprise being from Aalst, THE carnival city of Belgium.
Track 9 is a thrash version of the CCR song.

1. Brr Brr Brr
2. Moshquito Attack
3. Rights For The Black
4. Fuckin' Brain
5. You Dig Your Own Grave
6. Christinks
7. Die You Bastard
8. No Way Out
9. Bad Moon Rising
10. Nicaragua
11. Refuse
12. Vivisection
13. Dock LacoMillChip
14. Skate Or Die
15. Disco Billy Attitude Sucks
16. Leads To Disaster
17. Parricides
18. Billy Milano Attitude Sucks
19. Rastafari

MBP / Ampachen - Split Tape


MBP and Ampachen were both from Groningen and shared one member Onno.
MBP play fast HC but don't expect thrash. It seems that they started more in the Flipper vein. Great stuff. A total of 21 tracks, recorded at a rehearsal and live.
Ampachen existed for 2 months before recording their tracks. They aren't as fast as MBP and their sound borders on indie sometimes. Not too impressed by them. 13 tracks which is quite impressive for a band that was only 2 months old.
Don't expect muddy recordings here. Quality is pretty good.
Tape was released in 1986.

The Dirty Dogs - Demos



The Dirty Dogs were from Malaysia and together with The Bollocks and Opposition Party one of the more wellknown. Probably still obscure for most of you.
This tape was released in Bulgaria on AON Productions and compiles the 1st two demo tapes that The Dirty Dogs recorded.
The Dirty Dogs were active in the mid- till late 90's. I always read that they have a crusty D-beat sound but you can't hear that on the demos. Maybe they changed their sound later on? On the demos they sound quite punk with a bit of HC in it. It's no groundbreaking stuff but I think it's always cool to dig up obscure and 'exotic' punk.
First 5 tracks are the 'In Death Row' demo recorded in 1994. The other 4 tracks are the 'The Dirty Dog' demo recorded in 1995.


1. I'm Politician
2. You Born Bastard
3. Take It Easy
4. Behavior
5. Rich But Poor
6. The Dirty Dogs
7. City Breath
8. War
9. Sleave Buster

About re-ups

From time to time I get questions to re-up files. As stated before, I have no access to my external hard drive from my very old PC. The good news is that the HD still works as a friend checked it on his laptop. But there are files damaged so that scares me a bit.
I can probably get a 5-years old laptop for free very soon so I can re-up files again. Just need money to buy a new laptop myself.
So please have patience when asking for new links.

City Indians - Root Of Freedom Tape


2nd demo tape of Derby anarchopunk band City Indians.
City Indians played a lot with Conflict back in the day.
Their 1st demo 'Spoilsport' was released in 1986. 'Root Of Freedom' was released in 1987 and has an extra live side which contains a few older songs like 'Spoilsport' and 'Apartheid'. This demo shows a more melodic side of the band.
City Indians would go to release a quite poppy 7" in 1988 called 'Nicholas Parsons Is Feathery Galosh'.
Andy Sewell drummed for this band (not on the 7") and would join Concrete Sox later on. One of the coolest people I met back in the day, and me and some friends visited him in Derby a few times. Don't know what he's doing these days but he ran the Victoria Inn for some years.

1. Freedom Lies Inside
2. Bury The Debt
3. Radioactive Wasteland
4. Taxes/Ballad Of The Dead
5. Wanky Doodle Dandy

Creep Insanity - Destroying The Insane Demo


Creep Insanity were from Eeklo, Belgium. They were around in the late 80's and played crossover, a style that was popular back then. They were HC punx playing metal. There are some interview snippets in between the songs and they state that they didn't like the common macho attitude of the heavy metal dudes.
Creep Insanity were a 3-piece: Rabbit on drums who did a lot for the HC scene back then, Bassie who played bass and was rarely seen sober :) and Peter on guitar and vocals (who is an amazing guitarplayer btw.). Later on Kris of Hate Crew joined on vocals.
After they split up, Bassie played in the short-lived Braindead, with Stinky (No Numbers, Repulsives) on drums.
Ripped this demo from a cheap, shitty, German cassette brand called Standard. There are a few sound drops unfortunately. Don't have a sleeve as well but found an old sticker so I scanned that one. Don't know when they recorded it as well. Boosted the sound a little bit.

Check Smurfpunx for pictures of the band.
