Olotila "Oy Imatran Voima" EP

This is EP by Finnish band that has dual Fe/Male vocals and they play hardcore punk that sounds melodic because of the fact that they have a saxophone among their instruments. This record somehow doesn't quite do it for me, but I know for the fact that a lot of people really liked this record when it was out. I think that I'd like it more if it was saxless (heh), it could all sound quite dirtier, but it surely gives me pleasure to hear Dezerter song in such arrangement and in Finnish.
Try it, you could really dig this.

WARDANCE "You're So Right/Psyche" 7"

I had this 7" lying in my drawer for ages being played maybe three times alltogether. It's not that it's bad, it's kind of Bad Brains(ish) hardcore (first track) and dub/reggae (the second track), but it's just one of those records that was always skipped when browsing through the lot. I guess you have some of those at your place too.
The band was from Peterborough, UK, the home of The Destructors, English Dogs, The Desecrators... I had no luck with finding more info about the band on the net except that they "recorded two albums & numerous singles & extensively toured Europe & north America in the mid 90’s". On the record inlay I've found that one of the albums' name is "We're All Niggas..... But Not Your Boys" and for a bit of name dropping: the drummer Spikey T. Smith played with the likes of Sacrilege, English Dogs, Morrissey, The Damned, Conflict, The T4 Project, The More I See to name just a few...
If someone has more info, please leave a comment because there's really no info about them anywhere.

Masskontroll/Heartline split 7"

Masskontroll as you know were Punks from Portland who thought that they're Swedes with Japanese parents and Heartline were I guess sure that they're from Czech Republic so they are screaming their side of this split in their native tongue. But all this bullshit doesn't matter. What matters is that this is nice piece of crust muzak and you should get it.

Arxi Tou Telous "Thorivos"

After doing the B-day post with re-ups, the first music post (Siebensünden "En Kula Till Tröst" LP) made me think of ripping and posting Warcollapse's "Crust As Fuck Existence", but two mails that I got made me not to do it and happy because of it. The first mail was from Jalle of Siebensünden/Warcollapse/PAS-83 Productions saying that "Crust As Fuck Existence" is repressed on vinyl and is available from Insane Society - or from PAS-83 if you are from Sweden. So, if you don't have this classic - what are you waiting for?
The other mail was from Kostas of Arxi Tou Telous and as promised four posts ago, he sent me their new album titled "Thorivos" ("Noise" in english). You can read more about the band in their last post. I should listen this album one or two more times to give it a fair review and I'm already posting this after first listening, so there's nothing special to say at the moment than if you enjoy noise/post punk music - you should get this. I don't know about you, but I really like these guys.
It seems that you are getting your dose of gloomy music after all. Enjoy.

Chaos U.K./Raw Noise "Making A Killing"

Four posts later it's Chaos U.K. again, only this time the reason is the band on the split side. I haven't listened to Raw noise in quite some time and since I've ripped the CD for my car I'm putting this here too.
In 1986 Chaos U.K. released excellent "Radioactive/Earslaughter" split LP with Extreme Noise Terror and this is their split with Raw Noise who were (together with Victims Of War) the base for making Extreme Noise Terror. This is their second release after the debut 7". They haven't recorded much during their existence and they had one more LP and an EP which was released this year, but I still didn't have the chance to hear it. They also say on their MySpace that they're recording new LP so be warned...
Not to bore you anymore, I'll just say this record is the part of the history and you're not punk if you don't have this. There.

B-day post

There it is. Today is two years since I started this blog and I cannot believe that it's still here. It seems that everything I start to do keeps my attention for just a couple of months (at best). As more frequent visitors (if there are still any) may notice, uploads have become fewer, but that's better than nothing I guess.
Anyway, to sum up those two years in short, I've put here the links for 10 most downloaded records in descending order. This order may not be totally correct since I was uploading my files before on two sites which have proven to be utter pile and caused nothing but problems. I guess that Suicidal Supermarket Trolleys "Shut Up And Drink" LP would be on top as most downloaded (especially since there's link to the post on their MySpace), but the stats from these sites are gone forever.
Also I've re-upped all the rest of old posts with dead links since there are some of my faves there and people are always hungry for more. If you find that I've missed re-upping some post please let me know.
OK, here's the Top 10 Röckin' Nöizes:

Antisect "In Darkness, There Is No Choice"
Kuro "Who The Helpless" 7"
G.I.S.M. "Bootleg Discography"
Patareni "Back To The Roots" LP
Eyehategod "Southern Discomfort"
Pizda Materna "s/t" 12"
Impact "82-85" LP
Dogma Mundista "Destiny Or Greed" LP
The Varukers "Nothings Changed" 7"
Riot/Clone "Do You Want Fries With That?" LP

and here are the Rë-üps:

Siebensünden "En Kula Till Tröst" LP
Pankrti "Dolgcajt"
U.B.R. "Harmonija (1983-85)"
Sacrilege "Behind The Realms Of Madness"
The Rocking Dildos "Horny Hit Parade"
The Rocking Dildos "On Speed"
Sedition "End In The Beginning Beginning in The End"
Contropotere "Solo Selvaggi" 7"
Contropotere "Il Seme Della Devianza" LP
Tromatism "Je Ne Veux Plus Avoir Mal" 7"
Maggot Slayer Overdrive "The Angry Buzzing Of A Million Flies" 7"
Inzest "Another Religion..... Another Violence" flexi 7"
A38 s/t 7"
Acid Rain Dance "Melting Resistance" 12"
Dawn Of Liberty "In Honour And Defence Of Mother Earth. To Hurt Her Is To Hurt Us" 7"
Terminus "News From Nowhere" 7"
d'Rotzbouwen "Aspirine" 10"
Stalingrad s/t picture 7"
VA "The Boredom And The Bullshit" 7"
SexA "Pussy In The Sky With Diamonds" 7"
No Choice "Sadist Dream" 7"

Enjoy and see you again in a while.

Time To Think "Where The Hell Is Andrew?" 7"

Today, while I was reading post about Academy 23 LP on always brilliant Kill Your Pet Puppy website, this single was mentioned. I don't remember who I got it from, but I believe it was Pete Williams who ran the record label and played drums in the band (and later Academy 23 too). The reason why I got it I don't remember, but it should be somewhere in my boxes with old letters at my fathers place. Nevertheless, thanks to the sender since I liked the EP and listened to it a lot. The band on this recording is comprised of before mentioned Pete, Andrew Ross (from the title of the record) and Andy Martin from The Apostles / Academy 23 / Unit fame. Some other people were involved in the band too, just not on this recording. They also have a website that was last updated on 11/11/01, but is really very informative on the band, label, releases and pretty much everything you'd want to know about the people involved.
Music-wise, this is classic anarcho hardcore punk of the 90s recorded at the budget on 4-track recorder. The 7" comes in a gatefold sleeve and inside you can find posters, two essays, lyrics, blurbs... You name it - it has it. (Man, I could go into advertising industry).
Give this a go and I'm sure you'll like it too.
