G-Zet - Self titled 7'' bootleg ep
Japanese Leather - 1991

01 - G-Zet
02 - Dog Eat Dog
03 - 365
04 - ボンテージ

Classic Japanese motorcycle punk. Except the tracks from the "Great Punk Hits" compilation, you'll find here their complete recording output.
The limited edition bootleg seven inch was released by a German bootlegger who also produced G.I.S.M stuff in the early nineties. Two tracks come from the ADK 12'' and two instrumental tracks from an unknown source, 365 is a Stalin song, the guitarist Tam was also Stalin's prolific songwriter by the way... The drummer Pill was banging the drums for Lip Cream during the following years and he's still involved in many different projects to this day...

The 7inch cover was taken from the finnish band Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio 666 album, i don't see the relation or the meaning here, it looks like a blurred picture of a bayonet, which makes a strange offensive and phallic symbol for a cover picture imho, and suits perfectly G-Zet aggressive and cold music...

v.a. - Emergência, Enquanto Vidas Secam de Fome E Sede... 12''lp

"Emergencia, Enquanto Vidas Secam de Fome E Sede, Chove Dinheiro Nos Bolsos Dos Governantes" 12''lp
Boas Novas / Esperanza Produçoes - 1999

Obscure Brazilian compilation, featuring twelve punk bands from the Nordeste/North-East part of the country, those bands deliver forty five tracks of extremely crude and lo-fi recordings.
Most of them are totally unknown except Discarga Violenta.
Well, i have a hard time reading or deciphering Portuguese, so here's what i can understand from reading the liner notes of this record: This is a regional compilation, the bands are coming from places like Fortaleza, Pernambuco, Salvador de Bahia, Natal, and Recife, places that are more known for Samba and its traditional music than Punk / Hard-core. The title could be roughly translated as: "Emergency, When Lives dry from Hunger and Thirst, It's Raining Money In The Governants Pockets", the Nordeste region is known to be an area plagued by chronic poverty and famine, and climatic problems such as aridity... I don't get the specific issues regarding the "Politica Da Seca" exposed on this record, maybe a Brazilian reader visiting this blog can provide a little explanation...
While Brazil is now becoming one of the new leading economic power along with China and India,
this record released 10 years ago is still rooted in the Third World side of punk music, the songs range from crude and simple Latino-core to Noise-core, with the participation of Inexistencia Divina and Discarga Violenta. The sound quality is mostly acceptable to raw, a band like Ruptura just used a cassette recorder in the rehearsal room, and the pressing quality is quite poor, resulting in lots of surface noise... well, think i'll just add a good old Meteoro amplifier picture to sum up the whole thing...

Hydrolic Systems - st 7'' inch single 1991

Hydrolic Systems -
Hydrolic Systems / Run Away
Black & Noir records - 1991

First and only single from the mysterious band Hydrolic Systems, coming from the city of Angers.
On A side, the song "Hydrolic Systems" piledrives during one minute and twenty seven seconds, fast, noisy, repetitive pounding beats, furious distorted vocals...
On B side, the melodic song "Run Away" last three minutes and seven seconds, the tempo gets slower but the music delivered is still very intense, with multi layered guitar coats and choruses...
There's not much information available about this short-lived French band. They didn't produce anything except this single and a compilation appearance on the same label. Looks like a side-project from people involved in the energetic Angers rock scene, probably some guys from bands like Dirty Hands or Les Thugs...
Competent and original songwriting, lots of energy for a noisy rock band who definitely didn't imitate their British and U.S. counterparts.

Sound Pollution - second demo tape - 1989

Second demo from the Greek Noisecore heroes Sound Pollution.
Sounds like a rehearsal recording, but still cleaner than their first demo titled "Practic Holocaust". Those guys played in Athens during the late eighties, had two demos, a split tape with 7 Minutes of Nausea, and later a split 7''inch with the Greek Grindcore band Rotting Christ, who eventually became quite popular among metal circles some years later. This vinyl so much sounds like crap it's almost pathetic, the noise produced by the bands did lost all it's aggressive power in the studio, guess most sound engineers couldn't deal with this type of music in Greece back then... To my surprise, this little piece of vinyl can reach exorbitant prices on Ebay, it went for 103 Gbp/158 U$D last December. The Greek government should take in consideration the potential of their early local noise band to solve their public debt crisis.



There's 19 tracks, only 3 songs last over the one-minute mark, the overall feeling is quite furious, gloomy and desperate... think there was a lyric sheet included but can't find it anywhere.

34. Duo Extrawurst - O.N.V.N.Z.M.N.Z.R.O.O.D.

This compilation presents an overview of the late eighties Yugoslavian punk and hard core scene.
This is quite a weird record, stylistically going in all directions, except the participation of Motus from Croatia, Zenevski Dekret from Bosnia, Strelnikoff from Slovenia, most bands are totally unknown, and to be frank, some of them suck really hard.
Pulferdrivers play honest and interesting hard-core, Z.G. Noise Forces spew 34 bursts of drunken and lo-fi noisecore, another jamming session from the Patareni guys... Zenevski Dekret play punk with some metal influences, the tracks from this session had been released recently on a 7''ep re-issue. More interesting info about this band from Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Strelnikoff play original electro-punk bordering on industrial music, they had quite a musical carreer until the zeroes.
This lp was the first production from the label Sacro Egoismo, held by a Yugoslavian guy living in Austria. Why the cover art is depicting cavemen, i don't know, maybe in 1989, year of that release, the artist did sense the collapse of the former federal republic which did led to the war and its many atrocities during the following years.

Asbestos - War Crisis 7''ep - Burst Records 1988

Asbestos - War Crisis ep
Burst Records & Chaotic Office 1988

01 - Asbestos
02 - Burning
03 - Fight Back
04 - Born To Kill
05 - Atomic Bomber

Nothing new here, this ep was already posted on the 7inchcrust blog back in 2007.
Didn't split the tracks because there's no blanks between the songs.
Asbestos used pictures of the Nanking Massacre and shots from the famous war photographer Don Mc Cullin for their lyric sheet. Seems the pictures for the front and back cover of this ep relate to the atrocities commited by the Japanese army in Manchuria during the thirthies. It did provide lots of interesting graphic material for Japanese punk bands during the eighties.
On a side note, Asbestos played hard core punk with some metal elements in the guitar riffing, gruffy vocals and war related lyrics. The band did reunite in the early 2000's, don't know what they're up to now, maybe they have some new recordings in the works...

Griffin Fz - Stâin Pöllutiön Rétäliätiön - 7''inch flexi - 1989

First and only release from these Japanese thrashers. Pretty obscure band, later those guys went to form the "Burning Spirits" band Zone during the mid Nineties.
They called their ep "Stâin Pöllutiön Rétäliätiön" because from their perspective, putting umlauts and accents over all the wovels look really cool, this is so exotic, you know...
Griffin Fz played fast hardcore-thrash, with a bit of metal riffing and influences displayed on the songs introductions and slow parts...
I included extra live tracks from the band in the folder, three songs appear on this flexi and two are unreleased. This is a soundboard recording so the quality is acceptable, and these live songs really give the full dimension of the band's power, which was definitely lost on the studio recording. Just compare and be the judge...

v.a. - Sapporo City Hardcore 7''flexi ep - 1990

Sapporo City Hardcore - 7''flexi ep
MCR Company - MCR 031 - 1990

01. Slang(仁義)
02. No Lay Down Arm

03. Media
04. Power Control

05. Abyss Of Despair
06. Mental Decay

Early MCR stuff, gathering bands from Sapporo, Hokkaido area, one the first of the label's "city hardcore" flexi compilation series.
Two songs from Slang, featured on their early discography lp, but recorded with a cleaner sound.
F.U.P. are unknown to me, their deliver two songs of rough, primitive and distorted J-hard core. Maybe this is due to the Hokkaido cold climate, but those bands had a little Scandinavian feel... Can't say much about Satanic Hell Slaughter, who plays raw Death metal bordering on grindcore, some guitar riffing was obviously influenced by Napalm Death or S.O.B. ( "What's the Truth" era ) their fast drumming lacks of punch, seems this kind of material is a bit outdated today... but the performance of F.U.P. and Slang alone makes this flexi worth listening anyway.

Last Gasp - Happily Ever After... 7''ep - 1991

Last Gasp - Happily Ever After... Means Eternal Hell 7''ep
Face The Music - 1991

01 - Tomorrow's Children
02 - Forget About It
03 - God's Army
04 - Boot Camp
05 - Grudge
06 - Recent Studies / Success Through Starch

More Last Gasp, This is their second ep and a massive improvement in terms of songwriting and sound quality. Some songs leaning towards power-violence with blast-beats and all, still the slow parts are melodic, groovy and well-executed. This band really had great potential, but they didn't jumped on the bandwagon, they didn't care about the bandwagon anyway, maybe they were just in the wrong place in the wrong time... I don't know how many copies of this vinyl were pressed but if you missed it back in the 90's, it still easy to find cheap second-hand copies around.

"(... ) See, most of us punkers here in Seattle were really heshers at heart. Mix shitty generic beer in with some of the most potent mind-numbing marijuana in the United States, add louder-than-fuck metal durge...and you've got a recipie for one of the heaviest mind fogs you could ever achieve. Wanna make a sunny day cloudy? It's easy...Hang out with a bunch of heshers.
Bands like Aspirin Feast, Fitz Of Depression, NMF, Model Citizens, The Derelicts, Three Legged Dog, Christ On A Crutch, Dumt, Date Rape, Whipped, T.F.L., Positive Greed, Morphius, and North American Bison were slogging it out at all ages halls all over the region. My band Last Gasp were kind of known as the young local nutballs of the scene.(...)"
