PROTON ENERGY PILLS - Survival/Symmetry - (Waterfront Records-Australia-1989)

 

The Proton Energy Pills were a hi-energy Australian band from Wollongong-via-Detroit that muscled their way into the thriving Sydney scene in the late '80s, an hour's drive to their north - and fell apart soon after. Two singles and a mini-LP are the physical legacy from a couple of years hard work, but the band members went on to form or play with (Tumbleweed, Brother Brick, Asteroid B-612, The Yes-Men).  

The Waterfront Records label was started in 1982 by Steven Stavrakis while he was working at Phantom Records. It's first release was JFK and The Cuban Crisis "Careless Talk Costs Lives" EP.
In 1985 Stavrakis and Phantom co-worker Frank Cotterell opened the Waterfront shop in York Street Sydney. Later joined by Chris Dunn (another ex-Phantom colleague) the store move to Sydney's Haymarket and eventually back to York street where the dream ended.
The name Waterfront was appropriated by MGM Distribution who released a number of records utilising the name Waterfront. This was done without the knowledge of the "real Waterfront" label owner (Stavrakis, or his partner Dunn).[info from Discogs]

JASON RAWHEAD-Time.Stopped.Dead-(Play It Again Sam Records-Belgium-1992)

Jason Rawhead was a band from Belgium active on the end of the 80s until 1996.They released 4 albums and a bunch of 7inches, a discogs page about them is here.

In this cd they play a personal form of heavy rock mixing some granitic metal riffs with powerful drums/vocals and great rock passages.Somehow, they remind me lots of bands of the crossover scene from the fabolous 90s.

It seems that they reformed back in 2015 for a one-off show,only. 

Their Fb page here where you can see old flyers and related info,a soundcloud page is here with lots of great tracks to enjoy.

All in all a very good album by an original and very cool band. 
Enjoy it.
