Fun People "The Portrait Of Sudamerican Sun Rockers" LP












Fun People were great (mostly) melodic hardcore band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I don't wanna go too much about their sound because they go from acoustic ballads (Otro Mundo) to fast hardcore in HHH vein (Boicot Antinaturals). Their musical diversity can be seen in covers on this LP and that are New York Dolls, The Clash and Black Sabbath. All in all really great band that always lifts my spirit and that's always a good thing. Highly recommended.
The guy on the record is Kurt Gustav Wilckens.

Fakofbolan/Dark Busters split LP












If you're croatian you know all about this LP and if you're not, here's some info on it.
Fakofbolan were from Pula and they played probably the greatest singalong punk rock in Croatia ever that filled every club they played. This was their first vinyl release (before this I've only heard one split tape with Confusione Totale (also from Pula), but I don't believe that was a proper release). This stuff was later available as a bonus on CD version of their next album "Jedini Dokaz" (without the booze hymn and a joke featured here). They also had one more album before they split in 2006 after 13 years of playing.
Dark Busters were also from Pula and they played their kind of jazzy hardcore and were really great musicians. At the time of this release these two bands played really a lot (often together). This is their only release as pretty soon after this they changed their name to After Buster Future Beat and played analogue trance music (that'd be with the same "classic" instruments, bass guitar and drums). Later the drummer from DB played for Fakofbolan too (and a lot more other bands including legendary Pula punks "KUD Idijoti").
Look at this as kind of croatian version of Defiance/Raped teenagers split LP. Enjoy.
P.S. Just found out two and a half hours after posting this that Šela, the guy singing Himna Tounju on Fakofbolan side died hit by a car after returning home from
Antifa festival. He was one of those people that always tried to make you laugh and most of the times succeeded. Pula won't be the same without you my friend. This post is for Šela.

Inferno "Hibakusha" LP

This is the second album from this German hardcore punk legends. They were formed in small Bavarian City of Augsburg in 1982 and they relased most of their stuff on singer Howie's label. There's no info on the LP of year when it was released. Some sites say 1985 and some 1986, but I reckon it's the later. I'm a bit lazy now writing about them and I'll just copy/paste text from Destiny records who have re-released all of their stuff on 2CD discography (which you MUST get of course):
In the Mid-80ties INFERNO were a worldwide well known (the most known) Hardcore Band from Germany, especially known in USA, Japan, Brazil,... but also in (former socialist) Yugoslavia, in Australia or Malaysia. The group tours all over Europe, as an active cell of the continental Hardcore-network, a network which reaches from the Basque Country up to Helsinki, from Amsterdam to Athens, from Bristol to Belgrade; Thrash- and Speedmetal-Acts such as Hirax, Slayer, Anthrax or S.O.D name INFERNO as one of their biggest influences in several interviews and features.
Here you can read the interview from Ox Fanzine #73 (in German).

Impact "82-85" LP

This record (as the name suggests) collects early works from this legendary Italian hardcore punk band. It contains '82 demo (tracks 1-3), rehearsal from the same year (tracks 4 and 11), split 7" with Eu's Arse (tracks 5-10) and Solo Odio LP (tracks 12-21). You can hear moving from more punk sound of the first demo to a more aggressive sound in the later stuff. This is re-issued on CD as 80-87 which means that there's more stuff, but I won't buy it 'cause Giulio The Bastard (of Cripple Bastards) who did this LP and the CD is now promoting serbian chetniks, (and such moronic mentality) who are fascist from the WWII era same as ustashe here in Croatia (and who fought each other btw, which is even more weird 'cause Giulio's mother is croatian).
Anyway, later in the 90s Impact have gone through some sound changes which resulted in more and more bad stuff (in my opinion). Impact's last record (as far as I know) is split 7" from '95 with another Italian band called D.U.S.K. that has only the guitar player from the original line-up and I don't believe that I've ever listened their 2 songs or the other band's 'till the end. That's one of rare records that I'd not miss.
Anyway the stuff here is legendary and asskickin raw hardcore punk italian way. Enjoy!

Riot/Clone "Do You Want Fries With That?" LP

Riot/Clone were anarcho punk band that started playing in 1979, then disbanded few years later, reformed in 90s and split up again few years back when the original singer moved to USA. The rest of the band carries on as Refuse/All. I've never had anything else by this band, but I've came across a review that says that this album is their best effort and I'll believe that. This record is entirely dedicated to animal liberation and it kicks the butcher ass. It starts with the dub track with animals on vocals (yes, that's right) and ends the same way too. Just read the titles of the first and last song. The album rages from the beginning 'till the end altogether with spoken word tracks and it also has some catchy tunes too. I'm singing Hillgrove for three days now. You'll find some of the best animal liberation songs ever here.
You can find more info on both Riot/Clone and Refuse/All here.

VA "Mind Pollution" LP

This is a compilation LP from Words Of Warning label located in Bristol, UK. It was in my opinion one of the best labels out there. In the beginning they've put out mostly punk and hardcore bands with some of my all time favourite releases like Oi Polloi's "In Defence Of Our Earth" LP and Resist's "The Solution... Revolution", also some Terminus stuff. Later, they've also put out stuff from hip-hop, techno (Autonomex - see the last post), psychedelic... artists. Such wide taste for musical styles is presented here on this LP. Beside the above mentioned bands, here's also one technoish track and some plain weird stuff and this is where I'll stop. Explaining what kind of music is something that was never my cup of tea. Coffee, actually. Just download this and let the music do the talking.
You can find second Mind Pollution compilation on Eclectic Rhythm.

Internal Autonomy "Only You Have The Power" 2x7"

This double 7" is PE's 10th release and it brings quite good UK anarcho punk with a post punk touch. I don't know much about this band. Found out that they also had "Love & Life" 7" and "Inquiry" LP on Recordrom Records (you can find it here). They sounded different on each of their releases and were not afraid to step out of the anarcho punk waters and explore new sounds. They later changed their style to anarcho dance, tekkno, dub and changed their name to Autonomex and had some releases on Words Of Warning. Their techno affair also carried anarcho punk spirit with sampling Crass and south american anarchist brooadcasts. Well, that's about all I know. Please do fill in with comments if you know more about this anarchist combo.
