SHOVLHED-Proud As A Moose(Incentive-K7-Canada-1989)+Stove Boy Serves Daily Special-(Konkurrel-Holland-1992)


 

Recorded Spring 1989 in Victoria, BC. Knobs and faders by Scott Henderson with arguably dodgy input from Ken and Chris. Converted to digital using a tape deck, some software and a couple of copies of the source material I found in an old shoe box. It's DIY punk on tape, this is what it sounds like, get over it.Released June 1, 1989. All songs written by Scott except where extensively noted in the Footnotes and Citations document which was unfortunately destroyed by Tom Holliston during a competitive duck herding mishap in September 1993.
 

Recorded Spring 1990 in Victoria, BC. Shovlhed was Chris Buck, Scott Henderson and Ken Kempster. All music and lyrics by Scott except where noted.released January 1, 1992 Produced by John Wright and Shovlhed.Mastered by Cec English and several other high rolling business suit types including Craig Bougie who was asked to leave the room on more than one occasion during the process. Originally manufactured and distributed by De Konkurrent / Konkurrel in The Netherlands. Shovlhed logo by Audrey A. Band pic by Cathy Phillips. Royal standard of Tunis 1907 by Order of the Queen. Ken and Scott still live and play music in Victoria. Chris passed away in 2004. He is remembered fondly by all those who loved him even though he eventually drove us all freekn' crazy.

v.a-Viva Umkhonto!-(Konkurrel-Holland-1987)

uMkhonto we Sizwe (Xhosa pronunciation: [uˈmkʰonto we ˈsizwe], meaning "Spear of the Nation"; abbreviated MK) was the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), co-founded by Nelson Mandela in the wake of the Sharpeville massacre. Its mission was to fight against the South African government.[1] from Wikipedia) 

This was a Benefit compilation LP for Umkhonto We Sizwe, the military wing of the ANC.It includes a 20-page booklet with articles and lyrics. Some copies also include a 'Viva Umkhonto' newsprint.
All the scans provided here. 
The selection of bands and tracks is just amazing including some of the best names from the lively international HC Punk scene of the fabulous 80s.
Enjoy it.

LIFE...BUT HOW TO LIVE IT?-Day By Day-(Konkurrel-The Netherlands-1990)


The band was formed in the summer of 1988. The members all frequented Blitz, a squatted building in the middle of Oslo, where many other notable Norwegian hardcore bands such as So Much Hate and Stengte Dører had their base in the late eighties. LBHTLI toured extensively, near 300 concerts in fifteen countries in the five years they kept together and managed to release a live album on Your Choice Records, produced by Tobby Holzinger. They split up in 1994, but have played three concerts later, one in 2002 celebrating Blitz' 20th anniversary, and two in 2008.(from discogs)
A great album:amazing guitar riffs,astonishing voice,personal and touching lyrics,kick-ass tunes and much more...
We should call this record a masterpiece.
I saw them playing live back in 1990 and they were just explosive.Incredible show.
Enjoy it.
