The Faction File-(Hooligan Press-UK-1985)

Brilliant short comic stories full of irony,sarcasm and brutality...It does include also "Tales From The Frontline".

A must-read  for all the comic lovers and the experts of some obscure underground press coming straight from the dark unknown crypts of the last century.

Enjoy it.

HISSANOL-The Making Of Him-(Alternative Tentacles-Usa-1998)

Amazing second(?) album by this powerful duo: Andy Kerr and  Scott Anderson, they play a personal form of alternative muzik mixing some garage rock, fantasy indie, visionary pop and some bizarre yet genial punk.

It is all kind of smashed and burnt yet it goes with a creative flow of energy that will eventually blow our minds.Somehow they remind me NoMeansNo and Butthole Surfers although this description could be in some way reductive and would minimize their effervescent and innovative spirit.

A great album for spazzed out plastic heads.

Enjoy it.

CHRIST ON PARADE/DIE SHLACT-In Concerto A EL Paso-(El Paso Produzioni-Italy-1989)

Live bootleg tape with 2 excellent HC punk bands!Christ On Parade  from Usa and Die Shlact(on the cover sleeve of this tape this name is misspelled,in fact their real name is Die Schlacht ) from Germany.

They toured together in 1989, just one week after that the Die schlacht drummer left the band,so on this tape the Christ On Parade drummer is playing with the german band too.There is actually a vinyl release of this tour on Uberschall Records,a label from Bremen,same city of Die Schlacht.

The recording of this live tape is very good,the cover sleeve reports no info or songtitles.I got those info listening to the talks between the tracks and using the net.

I have already posted few tapes released by  El Paso , a big squat in Torino(Northern Italy)active since 1987,one of the oldest in Europe ,it is still squatted and very active.

Enjoy it.
