REVENGE - DEMO

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.

REVENGE / DIAVOLO ROSSO - SPLIT LIVETAPE

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!

REVENGE 10"

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!

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

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!

REVENGE - 2nd 7''

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 - BASTARDS CAN`T DANCE 7''

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!
