Lightning Bolt-Peel session-(Unreleased-UK-2004)


Lightning Bolt is a 2-piece drums-and-bass band from Providence, Rhode Island, USA, featuring Brian Chippendale on drums and vocals, and Brian Gibson on bass. Known for their loud and chaotic shows (where they've played on the floor and not on stage until mid-2014) and their unique style which mixes together elements of speed metal, noise, and free jazz.

Archbishop Kebab -Beyond Ma Ken-(Trottel Records-Hungary-1993)

The second LP by this original Scottish band, I have already posted their first album released in 1989.
Archbishop Kebab was a Scottish Avant-Hardcore collective formed in 1986 in Edinburgh. They had a 13-year life span up to 1999.
1989 saw the release of their first LP, produced by Tim Ellis (Jackdaw With Crowbar) and the start on the first of many European tours they shared with likeminded groups - a.o. The Ex, Dog Faced Hermans, Badgewearer, Dawson and the Stretchheads.
In 1993 they released their second LP 'Beyond Ma Ken' recorded in the studio of the Hungarian label Trottel Records.
Then came along 'Heeliegoleerie And Scunnered (but cheerie)' partly recorded in Italy; the final Album 'Bellyhunting', recorded in 1997. (info from Discogs).
In this album some crazy free jazz core influences take over their amazing post-no wave hardcore yet they remain an exquisite avant-guard phenomenon. 
Enjoy it.

v.a.-MINUTEMEN WROTE PROPAGANDA SONGS-(Cracks In The Sidewalks-Italy-2002)

Miming the famous Minutemen song "Bob Dylan wrote propaganda songs" this Italian label released this great compilation, with only Italian bands covering the music of the famous American punk band.
The result is quite astonishing. Free jazz mixed with a good dose of punk going towards different dimensions, the genius arrangements eventually finish a sincere and real tribute cd. 
Those bands nailed it, simply.
It came out with an A5 size b/w fanzine, each band has a page where you`ll find graphics, address, line up and info(all the relevant scans included here).
A great sampler for all the lovers of The Minutemen.
Enjoy it.
