HELP NEEDED!

2011-04-26T00:39:00.002+02:00

some people would like to release a BOOT DOWN THE DOOR discography in spite of the fact that some of the original master-tapes from some recording sessions have vanished into thin air in the meantime and therefore some songs will have to be taken off of the records on which they had been released. the problem with that plan is that till now everybody who has had BOOT DOWN THE DOOR's THE BAVARIAN WAY demo and was asked about doesn't have it anymore. so if you got a copy of it please get in touch!

ERADICATE - COVER SONGS

2011-02-09T15:44:00.000+01:00

in 1998 ERADICATE got the chance to do a short tour with DROPDEAD by accident and as we not even had 10 copies of our 7" left we made some tapes (the back-cover says 100 copies but I doubt that) with the tracks from the 7" and also recorded some new songs plus covers of SERVE & PROTECT from CITIZENS ARREST and DEUTSCHE RAUS AUS DEUTSCHLAND from THE BUTTOCKS on 4 tracks in our rehearsal room for said tape. as we recorded and mixed those songs in a hurry the sound quality is far from brilliant! actually we only had a few hours for the recordings and not even an hour for mixing them! if you take that into consideration plus the fact that I had to do the mixing for whatever reason although I had absolutely no fucking clue or experience in that field it doesn't sound so bad. as a matter of fact I've heard a lot of stuff worse than this. anyway, the tape was housed in an envelope, with a print of the frozen face of Han Solo when he was hibernating in the carbonite desk on it and not in a plastic snap box cause A) an envelope can't break and B) cause one of my favorite tapes, the GEHENNA demo, was also housed in one. the tape also came with a xeroxed booklet that contained the artwork of our 7" and the lyrics of our 3 new tracks which were all re-recorded when we recorded our 12" with Dirk K. at Kuschelrock. thinking about it we had also re-recorded SERVE & PROTECT but Dirk somehow deleted 4 or 5 tracks by accident including our CITIZENS ARREST cover and we sadly only had time to record our own tracks once again. as I'll post our 12" and the unreleased tracks that were supposed to be released on a split 7" with F.N.9 I just upped the 2 covers. click the CITIZENS ARREST spoof to download.

:OPERATION:MINDFUCK: - CONFORMITY KILLS 3" CD-R

2010-08-08T13:48:00.007+02:00

as I've already posted their demo you should know that :OPERATION:MINDFUCK: is the one-man DRUMCOMPUTERGRIND project/band Michl did besides FIRSTWORLDSUICIDE and later ERADICATE. here we have the self-made 3" CD-R with 26 tracks that incl. covers of WARSORE, HAIL OF RAGE & others. if one considers the fact that all tracks have been recorded in Michl's room the quality is more than OK but as usual the thing with DRUMCOMPUTERGRIND is that you either love it or hate it. click the cover to d/l!

USE TO ABUSE - SCREAM FOR ANOTHER WAY 10"

2010-04-30T21:37:00.007+02:00

their SCREAM FOR ANOTHER WAY 10" was the vinyl debut of USE TO ABUSE and sounds way different (I admit I'm tempted to write better instead of different) than anything they did later. I'm not 100% sure but I think the tracks have been recorded while they still had the original 3-piece line up but they changed members before it was released. either way the music here is no shitty PUNK'N'ROLL (even though Harry already had that style 10 years before it became cool) but melodic PUNK/HARDCORE that you most likely will never forget after you heard it cause of the unique voice of vocalist Harry. it was released on COLD SWEAT RECORDS which Mike started just to release this 10". I think he did a print-run of 500 copies which all came on purple vinyl.

INHUMAN - INCANTATIONS DEMO

2010-03-14T09:43:00.006+01:00

before ERADICATE there was AMERICAN FAMILY MURDERERS and before that there was this band called PUNISHMENT that had the same drummer but just played 2 shows before they called it a day and while the drummer moved on to play HARDCORE/GRINDCORE in A.F.M. that more or less became ERADICATE the singer moved on to play BLACK METAL in a band called INHUMAN. this is their 1st 5 track demo called INCANTATIONS from 1993/1994 (actually it's 5 tracks and an intro) and to tell you the truth I'm not sure if they released anything else before they changed the name to SOUL DEMISE or SOUL'S DEMISE and became pretty well known (especially in France I've been told but don't quote me on that!). truth be told INHUMAN's demo never did much for me way back then and it neither does today even though I listen to way more BLACK METAL nowadays than I did back in 1993. anyway, perhaps it does more for you than it does for me? click on the cover and find out yourself.

GROWING MOVEMENT - MEA CULPA AND OTHER SINS CD

2010-02-01T01:32:00.006+01:00

as you can see on the flier below GROWING MOVEMENT released a new CD yesterday 17 years after their 1st full length CIRCLE OF TORTURE.you get 7 "new" tracks recorded more than 10 years ago in 1997 or 1998 for a demo that never made it further than to the homes of some friends. maybe it even was recorded in 1999? I don't remember exactly and as I "borrowed" the tape on which they were originally released to GROWING MOVEMENT's singer Loll about 10 years ago I can't look it up either. those 7 tracks are more metallic than their older stuff but that doesn't mean they are bad. besides that you get 4 live cuts from 1995 recorded at a show with WARZONE (that was great b.t.w.) including an unreleased cover of NOT WHAT I WANT from THE PRESS and some more stuff that's not listed on the back-cover. the CD was released by VINYL JUNKIES which is a funny name for a label that does CD only releases though! if you click on the cover you'll be able to D/L 1 track from the 7 "new" tracks and 1 of the live tracks.

MEET ME THERE!

2009-11-21T23:21:00.005+01:00

when I wrote: Meet Me There! I was talking about Munich of course... and on a side note: the GERMS vocals will be handled by the guy who also played Darbie Crash in the WHAT WE DO IS SECRET movie but is better known in America for playing a Doc. in this series called EMERGENCY ROOM or E.R. in short!

ORGANIZED NOISE - DEPRESSIVE CD-E.P

2009-11-21T09:33:00.005+01:00

speaking of Munich: here's ORGANIZED NOISE's DEPRESSIVE E.P. ATTENTION! they are totally different to what normally gets up on this blog but as a) Munich is in Bavaria and b) excluding the trousers would also mean excluding the story of my the 1st signed copy of anything. from 13 to 17 I also lived in Munich where I discovered the wonderful world of Punk & HC and since that tried to explore those strange territories as much as possible. one guy who would be with me on my quest for fun and games would be known under the moniker Masi, became a real close friend for me and an emetic for my mam. guess whose parents were also visited from the police for the 1st time at the exact same time than mine? or guess who got his room searched by the cops cause they intimidated his parents so much that they'd give them permission? I'll give you a little hint: my Dad enjoyed himself when they tried to do the same with him... anyway, even though my mother started to bitch as soon as I would just mention his name Masi and me never completely lost contact until the last 8 - 9 years (in case you read this my friend shoot me an e-mail). anyway, ORGANIZED NOISE has a more sludgy, rockish touch and the title fits more than well. you can hear that the lyrics of tracks like SNOW PUSHER are based on experience and if you know that vocalist Pogo has a stiff leg cause he jumped through a window while tripping on L.S.D. there's nothing more you need to further the case.

FULL NOISE NINE - PROGRESS... FOR WHAT 7"

2009-11-21T09:30:00.003+01:00

as promised here's a real post a.k.a. music you can download! well, here we got FULL NOISE NINE's 9 track debut 7" called PROGRESS... FOR WHAT? which was released on CIVILISATION RECORDS in 1996 I think. as I already posted their split 7" with 100% GOREBEAT a.k.a. SEUCHENHERD you might be familiar with their sound already. in case you aren't familiar with F.N.9 - a short description would be that they started as a 3 piece and continued as a 2 piece after the bass player left and played GRINDCORE influenced by the usual suspects: YACÖPSAE, ROT, etc. with lyrics ranging from touching political topics to complete nonsense. the drums were handled by Pig who also played drums in STAGNATION'S END and PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING while the guitar was handled by Kusche who may or may not have also played in 100% GOREBEAT at one point but had to quit cause work or school forced him to move to another city but I'm not sure if my memory serves me right so don't quote me on that. the regular covers looked the one you can see here and were either blue or red. 300 came on yellow vinyl with a different cover artwork and an extra lyric sheet. if anybody could scan me the different artwork and/or the extra lyric sheet that would be highly appreciated!

USE TO ABUSE - FOREVER DEMO 1995

2009-07-18T06:45:00.002+02:00

here we got USE TO ABUSE's demo tape from 1995 which was called FOREVER. way back then they were just the 3-piece as which they originally started: Max (GROWING MOVEMENT, NIPPER, etc.) on drums, Fratz (HULK RÄCKORZ) on bass and Harry (= USE TO ABUSE) on guitar/vocals as he is still today. well, these days he just handles the vocals if I'm not mistaken. I'm not really sure what the current state of the art in case of USE TO ABUSE is as I lost my interest in them when they started to go for a more ROCK'N'ROLL influenced sound.

AMEN 81 - STADTFEIND 10"

2009-04-05T13:48:00.028+02:00

truth be told: I'm not really into the later stuff of AMEN 81 but I'm really into this 10" as this is a great merging of early, raw DEUTSCHPUNK and DISRUPT (some parts borrowed directly from some DISRUPT songs). being great people and a strong anti-cop and anti-Nürnberg (their hometown and one of Germany's cities were being PUNK and having right-wing political views at the same time was very common) stance make them score extra points. the only thing I'm not really into is the way the lyrics are written in some parts cause that sounds pseudo-intellectual to me. came with a booklet in newspaper form, multi-colored vinyl and the cover folds out to a big poster.

PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING - MADE TO BE BROKEN CD

2009-03-07T00:09:00.007+01:00

I've already told you that PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING evolved out of SEUCHENHERD and STAGNATION'S END when those bands split. after the split 12" with STAGNATION'S END the released their MADE TO BE BROKEN full-length on CIVILISATION REC. (the vinyl version) and PER KORO REC. (the CD version). I didn't post it earlier cause it's still available but as PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING now have also called it a day and Markus / PER KORO sells the CD for just 4.50 € I decided to post it so you can check it out and then buy it in case you like it! a little bit of advertisement for PER KORO REC. so to say. b.t.w. as Markus moves with his record store and therefore has a lot of costs he needs money anyway! so, go and buy records from him! he's cheap, quick, reliable and most of all a really cool guy! and as Oli from CIVILISATION REC.also needs (always) money buy records from him too! now back to PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING: the CD version of MADE TO BE BROKEN came in a DVD-case and comes with the same (colored) booklet that also comes with the 12" version. I got both versions but due to me being lazy I ripped the CD. music-wise I dare to say PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING were heavy influenced by NEUROSIS and HIS HERO IS GONE but were far from being another stupid clone-band!

REVENGE - DEMO

2009-02-09T09:17:00.004+01:00

I just got this copy of REVENGE's demo-tape thanks to my old buddy Uli! 9 songs and an intro that appeared just here on their demo. I guess the reason that none of these tracks made it on their 1st 7" is that these songs are sounding way more NY-styled than anything they did later (and got them the chance to open for SICK OF IT ALL if I'm not mistaken where they pissed people off cause they drank all the beer incl. that for SICK OF IT ALL and their roadies or something like that). if you compare this tape to their brilliant 2nd 7" it might sound like 2 different bands if you don't listen carefully but if you play the demo and their 2 7"es after one another you can hear the progress they made as a band. the rule of thumb is that progressing as a band is a process very much like growing up in case of bands that have been started by people that haven't played in (many) other bands before and therefore have just little expierience and REVENGE (who shortened their name from SCAPEGOAT'S REVENGE to REVENGE not that long before this tape was recorded I think b.t.w.) are no exception to this rule. the tape also included really pretty artwork on the inlay as shown below but no lyrics.

MAD MAGS / SCRAPPY - LIVE IN REGENSBURG 28/12/2008

2009-01-02T21:56:00.011+01:00

MAD MAGS is the CRO MAGS cover-band of GROWING MOVEMENT's drummer Max and they played in Regensburg on his girlfriend's birthday for a good cause! his girlfriend wants to finance a well in Ethiopia and told everybody she doesn't want any gifts she'd prefer a donation for the well instead and also the money from the door went to the well! MAD MAGS played 1st and I dare say that 90% of the audience didn't realize that they were a coverband! when the singer said "I'm sure you all know the next song as it's a CRO MAGS cover!" I started to ask if the people knew MAD MAGS are a coverband and when they asked for CDs after the show I was sure they didn't! besides MAD MAGS there were 2 other bands on the bill, one of them being SCRAPPY and the other will not be named as I'd rather like to beat up the bandmembers than promote them in any form! their bassplayer, a rich brat and known coward (with a D.M.S. tattoo on his chest) who was hanging out with me and some others cause he was hot on a girl and was stupid enough to suggest to smash the windows of a local nazishop to impress the girl. I'd still pay a lot of money for a pic of his face after everybody said "OK, why not?"! to make a long story short as we all were dead drunk our plan wasn't that smart and one of us (the youngest) got caught by the police and got house arrest from his parents right after they picked him up from the police station! even though I told the idiot that if our friend would have given them our names the pigs would have shown up at our homes he called me every fucking day nearly crying and asked me if I've already talked to our friend! what a wussy! I've been told he's a school teacher teaching religion now! besides that their singer sounds like someone would squeeze his balls! I found them so unlistenable that I went back home for an hour to spare me from that torture! when I came back SCRAPPY were already playing. they play some sort of SKA / PUNK mix (with trumpets, etc.) and I guess they're good at that and those of them that I know are nice people but as I hate SKA...
edit: I spent this evening with my old buddy Loll and he told me that the MAD MAGS guys were asked if they'd have "CDs for sale" after the show! I guess that proves me right, most people didn't recognize they're a cover-band...

WARTOYS - NACHZEHRER 7"

2008-11-27T18:42:00.020+01:00

NACHZEHRER was the follow up of Augsburg's WARTOYS to their split 7" with TOTAL RESISTENCIA. this was one of the bands out of the ashes of INFERNO, you know this German band that had records like TOD & WAHNSINN! WARTOYS were more U.K.-CRUST sounding than INFERNO (when INFERNO were around there was no CRUST yet but INFERNO influenced the CRUST bands a lot). and WARTOYS were the only band, in our circle, that not only sounded CRUST but also looked like one! back to this 7" that came in a really cool package: a bag made of cloth with a screenprint on front and back enveloped the 7" cover, which was a fold out cover again as you can see on the pic. the 7" had 6 tracks of heavy, midtempo paced CRUST and the basic lyrical theme here was anti-MacDonald's. WARTOYS split up a short time ago. Zong, who was in INFERNO, will hate me for this as he doesn't like it when you stress his past in INFERNO but he also has a kind of INDUSTRIAL / NOISE project called DEEP which is still active!

MAXIMUM SUBJECTIVITY COMPILATION 12"

2008-11-27T13:29:00.008+01:00

the 1st thing to tell you is that I "stole" this rip from the great MOSH EISLEY blog but I scanned the booklet and uploaded the comp. myself again! it's an international comp. but as it features STAGNATION'S END, DIAVOLO ROSSO and AMEN 81 I thought I should steal it and re-post it here. Chris from MOSH EISLEY said the following about this comp.: "Another release from Flowerviolence Records here. I contacted Ralf if it's okay to get this compilation online. He said he would like it. There are not that many copies left and so it would get some more attention. I don't like all of the bands here but for me getting this LP was worthwhile because of bands like Durango 95, Amen 81, DS 13, Diavolo Rosso or Fear is the Path to the Darkside. The layout of this compilation is also great. A nice cardboard sleeve and a little book instead of a normal lyric sheet. So dive a little bit more into the German / Swedish Hardcore scene from the beginning of the new millenium." as that's pretty much how I feel about this comp. too I don't feel the need to add anything! click on the cover to download!

ONE FIST ROCKIN´ - FAREWELL SHOW 13/09/2008

2008-09-01T13:11:00.028+02:00

on Saturday 13/09/2008 local heroes ONE FIST ROCKIN´ have played their farewell show in our hometown. musicaly they´re not really my cup of coffee but as I know their singer for quite some time and, way more important, as it was the last evening here for a close friend of mine before she moved to Wales for 1 year I decided to show up there! besides ONE FIST ROCKIN´ BLACK SHERIFF from Cologne and THE SMALLTOWN ROCKETS from Suttgart were on the bill but as I didn´t manage to show up as early as I wanted to and the flyer said ROCK`N`ROLL I saw none of them cause of talking to people outside and my dislike for ROCK´N´ROLL in general. as ONE FIST ROCKIN´ have been announced as DIRTY STREET ROCK´N´ROLL I was prepared for the worst but they weren´t that bad at all! their singer Spike gave an energetic performance and won my heart over with a big LOVE SUCKS tattoo over his belly. the wanna be though guy skinhead idiots liked them too or perhaps just pretended to do so to have a reason to put off their shirts and try to impress everyone with their 3, in most cases poorly done, tattoos. after the show we headed to another bar where my friend Sid and I made a lot of new friends (like we always do) through cynic comments and having fun! especially when Sid tried to get involved in a politcal discussion. I tried to avoid any involvment as I prefered to use the time to drink Gin Tonic and talk to Nadja. all of a sudden the sad moment where we had to say goodbye to her was reached. Sid told her that if she should´ve problems she should just call and within 12 hours he would be there! as I wasn´t as drunk as Sid I figured that 12 hours could be to short to get to her. so the 12 hours turned into 24 hours and I promised to accompany Sid if she´d need us. one retarded wanna be skinhead, who didn´t know us, started to laugh but stopped when someone, who knew us, told him that we really would come if she´d call us. when after saying goodbye Sid and I decided to check out a new after-hour club. that would turn out to be a stupid idea but that´s another story!

REVENGE / DIAVOLO ROSSO - SPLIT LIVETAPE

2008-09-01T13:09:00.008+02:00

this is REVENGE live in their singer´s hometown! even if you don´t speak German you might get that the singer is dead drunk which might be the reason for the comments he makes between the songs. ClAus-rotten, the guy who released the tape on his tapelabel wrote about those comments that he who takes what Hoiz says for real is an asshole and I agree with him on that! we may have our very own kind of humor here in Bavaria and it might be hard to get into that when you haven´t been born and raised here but that doesn´t mean we´re all nazis, jocks, etc.... the sound of the DIAVOLO ROSSO side is really good as they were recorded on eight tracks and mastered afterwards! 15 songs and their set includes covers from CRUCIFIX, POISON IDEA and G.G. ALLIN!

NIPPER 7"

2008-09-01T12:22:00.022+02:00

this 7" should follow their PSALMS OF PURIFICATION CD on BAD INFLUENCE Rec. but somehow this 7" wasn't recorded under a lucky star. it was supposed to be released on vocalist Pat's label that was called BARRACUDA Rec. before but as Pat didn't like the old name anymore he changed it to RADIATION STAR Rec. and as the 7" was already in the pressing plant (with the old name on the label) he made stickers with the new label to cover it. that was the first thing that went wrong but more, that I can´t remember anymore, were to follow and finally NIPPER split up and Pat destroyed the 7"es with the exception of 13 7"es of which he gave one to me. it has 5 tracks of what is called POSI-CORE in the same style as the tracks on their CD, STAGNATION which was as a live-recording on the CD was re-recorded for this 7".

:OPERATION:MINDFUCK: was/is Michl who used to be in FIRSTWORLDSUICIDE and joined ERADICATE as a 2nd singer on the split 12" with SUPERHELICOPTER LTD. this is the 16 track demo of his one man drum machine GRIND project that he did besides his "real" bands. all recordings were done in his room by himself - real D.I.Y. so to speak! as the tracks are really short (you could have guessed that when you were at the part where it says drum machine!) and there are a lot of movie samples as filler between the songs I just ripped it as side a & b! as this his first try the sound quality lacks here and there and the programing of the drum patterns remind me of bad techno music on 1 or 2 occasions but as this is the debut of :OPERATION:MINDFUCK: I´d say it´s a good start! I know a lot of bands that were worse!

SOUTHERN STARS - UNRELEASED RECORDINGS

2008-08-25T11:42:00.006+02:00

after some years of hiatus Loll and Roland who were/are in GROWING MOVEMENT formed a new band that was called SOUTHERN STARS. like GROWING MOVEMENT they drew influence from N.Y.C. but they were far more melodic. they played some shows and were such a convincing live act that MAD MOB offered to release a record. one week before the record should be sent to the pressing plant the singer Loll got into trouble with the law once again and this time got a 3 years sentence. this are the tracks that should have been on the debut. the pic of their singer Loll was taken at the GROWING MOVEMENT / ERADICATE show at WASCHBRETT Regensburg´s notorious PUNK pub.

D.S.G. - HALLO MR. ROTHSHILD! 7"

2008-08-24T21:09:00.009+02:00

D.S.G. (pronounced: dis-t-chick) were/are one of Bavaria´s most underrated bands ever! period! the managed to combine being from Bavaria with some sort of a SoCal feeling which together with the vocals made their sound quite unique! tuneful, melodic PUNK with enough rough edges to keep them away from being clean cut and singalong choruses that fortunately avoided the bubblegum brainlessness that is associated with melodic PUNK/HARDCORE these days so often thanks to morons like you-know-who! this 7" was released on A.B.P. Records (when A.B.P. still meant ALT BAYERN POSSE) and later re-issued as a tape that had the 7" on one and their demo on the other side. drummer Musch and guitarist Flo played both in REVOLTE and Flo played in STATIC 84 for a while. Lumpi the 2nd guitarist replaced Susi in WUTENTBRANNT when she moved to Hamburg.

D.S.G. - HALLO MR. ROTHSHILD! 7"

AN-ROTZEN - DEMO

2008-08-24T10:13:00.008+02:00

when SCHIZOPHREN split up cause their bassplayer died the guitarist and 3 other guys formed AN-ROTZEN. but cause their bassplayer thought he was a skinhead and constantly annoyed them with skinhead type lyrics they always had trouble. when he glued a pic of his girlfriend on his bass the rest decided that he stepped out of line once to often and kicked him out. in their really short career they recorded this demotape (that was recorded without a bass) and played 2 concerts. as you might have guessed from the name AN-ROTZEN their main influence was AUS-ROTTEN and they managed to write quite some cool songs with AUS-ROTTEN type dual vocals and riffs!

WUTENTBRANNT - REHEARSAL ROOM RECORDINGS

2008-08-15T10:11:00.014+02:00

I saw WUTENTBRANNT, way back then called OFFER RESISTANCE, open for REVENGE & MIOZÄN and really liked them! they really raged! sad but true WUTENTBRANNT haven´t left much information! there was this 9 song tape that was recorded in their rehearsal room, but then their original guitarplayer moved to hamburg and they didn´t practice for such a long time that even the people in the band couldn´t remember all titles! somehow they didn´t manage to get someone to replace her for ages! finally the guitarist of D.S.G. took over the part and they started to play live again. I saw every concert they did with the new line up except 3 and every single show was great. I still can´t understand why someone like Emil drops out of everything he once considered important to follow the shady "spiritual" advises of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of Transcendental Meditation. the tracks on the split 7" with SUBKUTAN and the tracks on the 3 AKKORDE FÜR DIE FREIHEIT 7" comp. have been taken from this tape!

ERADICATE - BROKEN 7"

2008-08-15T09:31:00.013+02:00

read what MRR and HEARTATTACK said about this 7" and while reading keep in mind what the people that wrote those reviews didn´t know: those tracks were recorded in Munich at a studio done by an alcoholic who fucked them up! STATIC 84 recorded at the same studio and he fucked up their tracks too! in the case of the STATIC 84 recordings he didn´t fuck them up as much as this here but that is mainly cause they were way more on the melodic side. when we went to a really expensive studio (one where pros record) and tried to remix it we had to find out: no chance! the idiot had pluged in 2 cables the wrong way and fucked up those recordings forever! STATIC 84 had to find out he dad done the same to them! besides the fucked up recording I should add that I don´t consider this to be the best ERADICATE songs that were written and that after this recordings were done our bassplayer quit or better disappeard. he said bye when we left the studio, moved to another city and none of us has seen or heard him since! so the AN-ROTZEN guitarist Chris switched to bass and joined us. b.t.w. there was a tape version (I think we made 100 of them) of the 7" with some bonus tracks (incl. a CITIZENS ARREST and a BUTTOCKS cover) for the tour with DROP DEAD. and the x-ray pics on the cover and on the inner sleeve show the spine of my neighbor´s girlfriend who broke her back in a car crash but has had good luck and is alive and well today.

REVOLTE - DISCOGRAPHY

2008-08-15T09:01:00.007+02:00

here´s the REVOLTE discography. REVOLTE just had a short life span, consisted of people who were playing in REVENGE, WUTENTBRANNT & D.S.G. and played ripping fast and furious HARDCORE! their discography isn´t that long as all they recorded was their 10" and one song that appeared on the PAYOLL BENEFIT COMP. 7"! this band was spitting venom on their recordings but even more while playing live! the 10" was released as a split project between many different labels as everybody who saw them live was blown away by them! REVOLTE were one of the bands were musicanship and anger worked hand in hand perfect! all their lyrics were in German and if you read them without having heard the music they might appear as somehow clumsy but together with the music they somehow perfectly fit!

STAGNATION´S END 12''

2008-07-16T11:06:00.005+02:00

Günzburg´s STAGNATION´S END evolved from the good band they were on their 7" into one of Germany´s most brilliant bands! if you don´t believe me listen to this 12". it´s a mix of a little bit S.E.H.C., a little bit CRUST, a little bit METAL, and a little bit San Diego sound. the result is a cocktail that you won´t find anywhere else that soon! one of the things that put them above other bands was their skills as musicians - especially the skills of Markus the guitar player (who switched places with the singer on 2 songs) . sad but true but the same reason that made them a brilliant band was the reason for their split. Markus, who made a living of playing trumpet (if I remember correct) in a commercial big band, decided that he couldn´t handle 3 bands at the same time anymore and decided to leave STAGNATION`S END to concentrate on his other band KITTY EMPIRE (which were/are the German version of the San Diego post-HC sound). as there was no one to replace him that meant the end of their career. if you want to know how the story went on after Markus announced that he would leave continue here!

STAGNATION´S END 12''

REVENGE 10"

2008-07-07T10:23:00.007+02:00

the REVENGE 10" - the final release of one of my all time fave bands! this 10" offers 16 tracks incl. a cover of CRUCIFIX´s SEARCH FOR THE SUN which appeared on the PROTEST MEANS ACTION compilation 12" too but this version is way better as REVENGE have the worst sound on the whole compilation! anyway, this 10" was recorded by the same guy who has recorded their 2nd 7". this guy has a mobile studio with which he came to their rehearsal room. on their 2nd 7" he did a great job but here he fucked up! the sound isn´t like it was supposed to be - it lacks brutality! another record that could have been way better if the sound enginer wouldn´t have fucked up! it´s got really great songs and is still good but not as good as it could have been! after it´s release REVENGE went on a 2 weeks Germany tour together with WORLD CHAOS. I drove them on this tour and even though I fucked up my van and therefore lost a lot of money, I still consider this tour 2 of the best weeks of my life!

STATIC 84 - THE SERVANTS ARE RISING 12 ''

2008-07-07T10:18:00.005+02:00

STATIC 84´s THE SERVANTS ARE RISING 12" that was released on JOIN THE TEAM PLAYER records in may 2000 is the best melodic HARDCORE album that that was ever released by a German band! period! it includes 12 driving tracks that are catchy and rock like hell! the last song on the record WORLDS COLLIDE was already on their 7" and was re-recorded for the 12". WORLDS COLLIDE is the only mid tempo song on the record but is as catchy as the other tracks. their myspace site says: Lyric-wise STATIC 84 were far from the regular meaningles MTV lyrics that seem to be so typical for bands of that genre. Their songs deal with those situations in live that we all have to face at one point or another - missed opportunities, regrets and the personal struggles one has to go through when trying to get by in hard times. which is true! when they recorded this, they recorded one song that didn´t make it on the record but can be downloaded here!

WUTENTBRANNT / SUBKUTAN - SPLIT 7''

2008-07-07T09:34:00.005+02:00

here´s the WUTENTBRANNT / SUBKUTAN split 7" for your listening pleasure. the tracks of WUTENTBRANNT were recorded in their rehearsal room with just 2 mics somewhere in the room. so the quality is a little rough but still ok. music-wise you get fierce CRUST with dual vox. played by people who were in bands like REVENGE, REVOLTE, QUATTRO STAGIONI, BOOT DOWN THE DOOR, CRUSHED BY ALE, DOOMTOWN, MÖNSTER and some others while they were playing in WUTENTBRANNT or after WUTENTBRANNT called it a day!. SUBKUTAN were based on the other side of Germany. rough sound quality too! music-wise this is fast PUNK!

REVENGE - LIVE @ MÄLZEREI - REGENSBURG 25/12/2005

2008-07-06T19:29:00.010+02:00

the 25/12/2005 was Rob, the BOOT DOWN THE DOOR singer´s 40ht birthday. cause of this REVENGE and BOOT DOWN THE DOOR played a gig in Regensburg. sad but true: I forgot to bring a 2nd pair of batteries with me so no BOOT DOWN THE DOOR pics!

STAGNATION´S END / PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING - SPLIT 12''

2008-07-06T19:19:00.009+02:00

the title of this split 12" is THE LAST & LATEST STAGNATION`S END / PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING RECORDINGS and that sums it up pretty good! the last STAGNATION`S END recordings are 7 tracks of which one BURN has already been released on the MAXIMUM SUBJECTIVITY comp. 12" that was done by FLOWER VIOLENCE rec. the main problem with this recordings is the sound quality which isn´t really brilliant and sad but true that counts for both bands! I´m not sure if I remember correct but they mixed these songs at least twice and maybe they recorded them more than once too. I still got an MD with the 1st recording/mix and in direct comparsion you can hear that this is much better but it still lacks energy and power! the reason why STAGNATION`S END split up was that their guitarist (who did the vocals on 2 songs of their 12"), who earned his living in something like a comercial big band or something like that, had just time for one band besides that and decided to concentrate on his other band KITTY EMPIRE. so the singer and the drummer teamed up with the SEUCHENHERD bassplayer and PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING were born!

the gentleman you can see on the pic in the corner down right is Füx who used to ran a label called BAD INFLUENCE rec. I´ve forgotten what the exact reasons were, but somehow he decided to release a benefit compilation for a squat in Brasil. the bands on this comp. besides DEFECTO who lived in that squat are FAULTER from the U.S., SPINEBENDER, REVOLTE, DIAVOLO ROSSO, SEUCHENHERD and WUTENTBRANNT.

REVENGE - 2nd 7''

2008-06-29T12:29:00.024+02:00

back to my old friends from Alt-Ötting (which is famous among Catholics for their Mary cult and their holy well that cures illnesses!) one of the places in Germany with the highest Catholic infestation and REVENGE´s 2nd 7"! Alt-Ötting has proofed to be a fertile breeding ground for good HARDCORE bands tough! well, maybe it could proof it´s fertility cause of all that shit? REVENGE´s 2nd 7" was released when REVENGE where at their peak! 8 songs in the best recording quality REVENGE ever had! they themselves called the music they played CRUST´N´ROLL which basically meant that their CRUSTy HARDCORE didn´t lack some melody and Bozo their guitarist hadn´t bought the guitar on which all the great LEATHERFACE songs have been written from Frankie Stubbs for nothing. the 7" came with a booklet where the lyrics to each were printed on a single page. 8 songs - 8 hits! all killer - no filler! b.t.w. REVENGE´s drummer Franz is the only drummer I´ve seen till know who was throwing up while playing live! vomiting all over his drumkit and not missing a single beat!

REVENGE - 2nd 7''

100% GORE BEAT / FULL NOISE NINE - SPLIT 7''

2008-06-29T12:21:00.014+02:00

100% GORE BEAT changed their name to SEUCHENHERD when the covers for this split were already printed maybe it even has been released a short before. the name is the only difference between 100% GORE BEAT and SEUCHENHERD - same people, same songs! as you might have guessed from their old name the SEUCHENHERD guys were into splatter/gore/... movies quite a bit but that had no impact on the lyrics for whatever´s sake! as the guys in SEUCHENHERD were really good on their instruments they had the proper foundation to succeed in playing really good POWER VIOLENCE HARDCORE! FULL NOISE NINE were a just a 2 piece GRINDCORE band with Pig the STAGNATION´S END drummer on, you guessed it drums! after STAGNATION´S END split he played in PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING until recently! there lyrics went from sensless a.k.a. non existent to political lyrics! as the 2 were living in 2 different cities they didn´t play live that often as rehearsing was barely possible for them. in spit of that difficulties they managed to do a 7" of their own as well and were on several different compilations!

100% GORE BEAT / FULL NOISE NINE - SPLIT 7''

CRUSHED BY ALE - DEMO

2008-06-29T12:19:00.005+02:00

CRUSHED BY ALE weren´t around for that long! they just recorded this demo did some shows, went on tour, had to break up the tout after 2 - 3 shows cause the father of one of them had become seriously ill and called it a day not to long after their broken up tour! the most interesting thing about this band is, that it was kind of an "all-star" band. Wiener from WUTENTBRANNT on drums Claus-rotten from WUTENTBRANNT, REVOLTE and QUATTRO STAGIONI (he was the bassplayer on the last MÖNSTERS tour too) on guitar, Michl from FIRST WORLD SUICIDE, ERADICATE and OPERATION:MINDFUCK on bass and Hoiz from REVENGE on vocals. I´ve to admit that I never had the chance to see them live, which I really regret! the songs on this CD suffer from a bad, somehow really flat production as they were recorded by themselves in their rehearsal with shitty equipment! so I´d loved to have the chance to hear them live to make my final judgement about them!

CRUSHED BY ALE - DEMO

GROWING MOVEMENT - 7''

2008-06-29T12:13:00.013+02:00

GROWING MOVEMENT´s 1st 7" still has to be considered one of the best 7" that ever were recorded by a band from Bavaria! if you just look at the cover you´ll notice that GROWING MOVEMENT were music-wise different to most of Bavaria´s other bands. while most of our bands had some influence from N.Y.H.C. GROWING MOVEMENT were a band that sounded like a N.Y.H.C. band and looked like a band from N.Y. in the mid of the 90ies when their full length was released the were pretty popular in Germany but first they got fucked by their record label WE BITE and then they got into quarrel amongst themselves. that was too much and so they split up. they later reformed with a new bassplayer but somehow their flame didn't burn very bright back then and so they split up again! their singer later had to do some time and after he was released they reformed for the 3rd time and are still active today even tough their singer is so fucking ill he has to do their shows sitting!

GROWING MOVEMENT - 7''

SEUCHENHERD 7"

2008-06-29T08:16:00.012+02:00

after the split 7" with FULL NOISE NINE Günzburg´s SEUCHENHERD released their one and only 7" that runs on 45rpm and is packed with 8 vicious POWER VIOLENCE tracks! as they were very good musicians, great guys and really dedicated it seemed the were ready to really go off, but they had unbelieveable bad luck! there was some talk of doing a split 10" and a tour together with ERADICATE which was then changed in doing a split 10" and 2 tours with ERADICATE as they had to cancel their 1st studio date cause of reasons I can´t remember a one week tour, with PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING as 3rd band, should be done before hitting the studio and a longer one after the split was out, but one day before the tour was supposed to start their guitarplayer (who was attending school to become a music pro) got such serious problems with his hearing abilities out of nothing that the doctor said at least 6 month as less noise as possible! that somehow was the beginning of the end for SEUCHENHERD and not long after all that the split up!

SEUCHENHERD 7"

STATIC 84 - INNER WALL CD

2008-06-29T01:39:00.009+02:00

their myspace site says this: From old school to New School and all the way back... You like fast, melodic and ass kicking music with a melancholy edge? Well here you go! STATIC 84 play hardcore in the original meaning of the word. They are not some tough guy old school rip-off but they do play HC-PUNK the way it used to be before Metal and Indie-Pop took over. If one had to come up with a comparison the bands of your choice would probably be DAG NASTY, GOOD RIDDANCE and BY THE GRACE OF GOD. and that is very much to the point! formed in 1996 (calling themselves SHINY COFFIN in the beginning) they released their first CD INNER WALL in 1997. while music-wise the 8 songs on this CD couldn´t set them apart from the rest of the melodic HARDCORE bands, lyric-wise they could as they managed to write really great personal lyrics!

STATIC 84 - INNER WALL CD

NIPPER - PSALMS OF PURIFICATION CD

2008-06-29T01:34:00.014+02:00

after GROWING MOVEMENT split up one of their 2 guitarists, the basser and their original drummer Max teamed up with a new singer and NIPPER were born. where GROWING MOVEMENT have always tried to do it N.Y.-style NIPPER were more what you´d call POSI-CORE. this is their 1st CD called PSALMS OF PURIFICATION (before you ask: no, they weren´t S.E.!) which was released by BAD INFLUENCE rec. it has 7 tracks, one of them being a live, and the problem is that they recorded the instruments in their rehearsal room but didn´t manage to record the vocals in a way they didn´t sound unlistenable so the went to Chris Void in Munich and did them with his help. I know that this guy knows how to record a HARDCORE band so I guess it´s cause of the way the instruments were recorded that music and vocals sound divided and therefore this CD lacks power! NIPPER weren´t around that long as Waldi, the bassplayer dropped out of the scene all of a sudden and moved back to his parents! Max and Jürgen wen´t (back) to GROWING MOVEMENT & USE TO ABUSE and their singer Pat and some others formed a band that would later be known as DRIVING THE SALT! that´s why the 7" that followed this CD is limited to 13!

NIPPER - PSALMS OF PURIFICATION CD

BOOT DOWN THE DOOR / BEYOND DESCRIPTION - SPLIT 7''

2008-06-28T19:13:00.010+02:00

Bavaria´s BOOT DOWN THE DOOR join forces with Nippon´s BEYOND DESCRIPTION on this 7" that was released by ANOMIE rec. for the ONE WEEK RESTVACATION TOUR both bands did together in 1997. 3 songs from each band including a RIPCORD cover from BEYOND DESCRIPTION. the only negative thing to say about this 7", is that the cover is really ugly as fuck!

BOOT DOWN THE DOOR / BEYOND DESCR IPTION - SPLIT 7"

NO SPEED LIMIT Vol. I COMP. 7"

2008-06-28T18:38:00.014+02:00

this is the pt. I of the NO SPEED LIMIT comp. series that on CIVILISATION RECORDS from Günzburg which is done by Oli who is a great guy and has done a lot of stuff for "the scene"! on this comp., the starter so to speak in the meantime pt. II & pt. III were released, there´re just 2 Bavarian Bands AMEN 81 & SEUCHENHERD. GOMORRHA were from Koblenz and the other 2 bands HAPTO & IRITATE weren´t German. the 7" has one song each from GOMORRHA, AMEN 81 & HAPTO and 3 songs each from SEUCHENHERD & IRITATE. sad but true but during the 7" mastering or maybe in the pressing plant they fucked up the quality of the AMEN 81 track. Oli tried to get that fixed but they still suffer from a very poor sound! the 7" came in a booklet cover where each band has a page of it´s own for lyrics, etc.

NO SPEED LIMIT Vol. I COMP. 7"

BOOT DOWN THE DOOR

2008-06-28T16:53:00.027+02:00

the 1st BOOT DOWN THE DOOR 7" called AMIGO$ is the best stuff they ever released as far as I´m concerned! 6 songs of heavy, not too fast CRUST with brilliant lyrics (that could be stolen from Garry Johnson here and there) and a vocalist who sounds brutal in a way that you can still understand what he's screaming. this 7" was released by SPOCK PRODUCTIONS from France and came in blood-red vinyl! many people ask themselves why the fuck they put this "fish" on the cover and/or what it stands for. the answer is: this is a drawing of one of the band members little niece and as they had no better ideas and didn't want to have a cover like so many other bands they decided to use the drawing! the only thing I still don't know is why there is a Jesus poster on the inner sleeve!

BOOT DOWN THE DOOR - AMIGO$ 7''

this is the BOOT DOWN THE DOOR's 2nd 7" which was released by SACRO EGOISMO Rec. from Vienna/Austria and came in light blue wax. 6 hard hitting songs including a cover of BLONDIE's DENISE. one of BOOT DOWN THE DOOR's trademarks was that their music was more midtempo paced than ultra fast but as usual they throw in some fast parts for the listeners pleasure!

BOOT DOWN THE DOOR - 2nd 7"

WARTOYS / TOTAL RESISTENCIA - SPLIT 7''

2008-06-28T15:55:00.007+02:00

the 1st vinyl release of Augsburgs WARTOYS was this split 7" with TOTAL RESISTENCIA from Spain. calling your band is like giving a promise - the promise to play CRUST! WARTOYS are no let down! they live up to their promise: 3 tracks of CRUST as CRUST can! to be honest, that´s no big surprise as the WARTOYS guys have all played in other bands (incl. INFERNO!) before and have plenty of expirience under their belt! b.t.w. the people in WARTOYS are really great guys and 1st choice when it comes down to having fun! Mikes, the drumer has his own blog called WASHINGRAD! TOTAL RESISTENCIA on the flipside offer you 5 songs. they´re faster than WARTOYS and get extra points for singing in Spanish. no bad either! but what sets this 7" apart from most others is the packageing as you can see on the pic!

WAR TOYS / TOTAL RESISTENCIA - SPLIT 7''

WUTENTBRANNT - UNRELEASED 7"

2008-06-28T15:30:00.009+02:00

WUTENTBRANNT was a band that started with Rob from BOOT DOWN THE DOOR on vocals. after Rob quit Franz and Emil of REVENGE took over the mics and WUTENTBRANNT became a REVENGE side project. when Susi, the guitarist moved to Hamburg WUTENTBRANNT was on ice for nearly 2 years when suddenly my telephone rang and their basser told me that they just had rehearsed for the 1st time after nearly 2 years. as REVOLTE kicked it of at around the same time Emil decided that 3 bands would be to much and left. with just one singer left they entered a studio to record for a 7", that sad but true, was never released. I don´t know the song titles as this was ripped from a tape they gave me way back when without any information!

WUTENTBRANNT - UNRELEASED 7"

REVENGE - BASTARDS CAN`T DANCE 7''

2008-06-28T15:05:00.018+02:00

REVENGE´s 1st 7" is way more N.Y.H.C. influenced. than their later stuff but the CRUST influence is already there. some of the 8 tracks would remain part of REVENGE´s live set as long as REVENGE would exist. as "they didn´t manage to write some intelligent lyrics" they just printed some explanations to the songs and not the lyrics. the 7" was released on drumer Franz´s own record label called A.B.P. (A.B.P. = ALT BAYERN POSSE). as I was quite close with those guys way more important than what music they played was what great people those guys were/are! I´ll never forget the time we spent together!

REVENGE - BASTARDS CAN`T DANCE 7''

STATIC 84 - ANOTHER FUNERAL 7''

2008-06-28T12:07:00.009+02:00

this 7" probably could claim to be the most tattooed cover to be on the record of a Bavarian band! I don`t know exactly how much people have this drawing inked under their skin but there are quite some! well, no wonder if you grew up here when we did chances that you lost more than one friend to a heroin overdose, suicide or jail were quite high and somehow this drawing, that was done by a friend of them who grew up with them, sums it all up! this is the cover of the 1st pressing on BAD INFLUENCE rec. there is a 2nd pressing on DANCING IN THE DARK rec., that is done by Oise the STATIC 84 bassplayer, that one is white on black! 6 great melodic songs that show a real development if compared to their 1st CD! but even though they made a big step forward you just can´t imagine what a brilliant full length they would manage to do later!

STATIC 84 - ANOTHER FUNERAL 7''

STAGNATION`S END 7"

2008-06-28T07:17:00.015+02:00

if you listen to the STAGNATION`S END 7" you just get a little hint of to what this band would evolve! on this recordings you can hear the influence of U.S. S.E.H.C. quite clearly. even their name was taken from a STRIFE song. don´t get me wrong, this 7" is not bad but compared to their 12" the lack of power and aggression is quite obvious! the 8 songs here are a little bit above average but nothing that would have given you the slightest hint how great they would become later!

STAGNATION`S END 7"
