Great split tape by these political punk bands, Dread 101 from the Czech Republic and Social Insecurity from Scotland. It was printed on tape and on vinyl in 2002 by the Czech labels Insane Society Recs and Spearhead Recs operated by the members of Dread 101.
The tape came out with lyrics in Czech and English languages, some pics + addresses.
Expect furious crust/HC punk with good recordings and amazing graphic works.
Very well done punk fanzine made by Stuart Schaber in Portland back in the last decade. This issue is dedicated to the Japanese punk scene, quite comprehensive including nice pics too.
You`ll read here an article about Gauze & Paintbox, Total Noise Addiction, Raw Shit(a piece about Japanese Raw noise-punk bands), New Year`s EVE noise attack vol 2 in Portland(2002) and tons of music reviews.
A nice zine with good graphics, pics and messages.
This is the second release by this fantastic Italian duo called Zona Industriale, I have already posted Materiali(85-87) and Requiem. A Discogs page about them is here, this tape was reprinted in 1996 by the mighty Slaughter Productions with the title "Pornografia: Materiali/Frammenti",I am posting here the cover sleeve that Marco Corbelli chose for this reprint.
Adn was an Italian electronic/experimental/industrial label based in Milan. ADN was run by Marco Veronesi, Piero Bielli and Alberto Crosta (with one Carla Crotti also involved at some point), although Alberto Crosta was the main international contact. I have posted a few productions by this old Italian label too.
Amazing split vinyl with two Swiss bands from the crust punk scene of the last century. Bagger used to make performances with fire and masks while playing their furious HC punk. I think they were involved with the Schrottbar in Biel.
Lieselotte plays a violent form of grindcore mixed with HC punk...I spoke about them when I posted their Split tape with Pakita.
This record comes with an 8-page booklet with graphics and lyrics(all the relevant scans included here).
A great vinyl for people into violent music with positive ideas and attitude.
This is an amazing tape documenting the live show of this fantastic band at the Social Squatted Centre of Udine(Northern Italy) on the 21st January 1989.
Try to describe the music by this great band is not easy, with thousands of various influences they play a very personal form of Avantgarde Art Rock, their live shows were explosive mixing improvisations and performances leaving the public struck with an assault of lights, costumes,body movements, improvisations and more genial ideas, changing all the time.
I was lucky to see them twice back in the 90s ,they blew everybody away. Their various productions are quite different music-wise,as well.
Indexing this tape was very difficult because many tracks are mixed up, it took me a long time and for whoever will get it then please read the notes that I have added. The recording is pretty amazing, delivering to us their full energy as a great live act.
To complete this post I am adding some info taken from a Wikipedia page dedicated to them + an old video from their Youtube Channel.
A very big thanx to Marco for giving me permission to post this astonishing live document.
Born during the New Wave era but with a very original music idea, Gronge has been groundbreaking of many music genres that evolved in the following years.
The name of the band, that prefers to define itself as a musical collective, originates from the roman slang and it means a boxer apparently defeated but who still has the strength for his last punch.
Their music style is been defined by themselves as tecknopunkcabaret because they mix in their shows music and theatre. Among the first bands to include in their compositions some samples,
they have been an epiphany for important Italian bands like Zu.
They have been, together with Franti from Turin, the first to propose the DIY/self-production in Italy.
Gronge, that from 2014 change its name in Gronge X, are still active.
In 2015 They have published a CD titled Manuale Di Imporvvisazione Per Giovani Socialisti released on Danze Moderne label.
Between 2015 and 2016, the Again Records reprints all their discography of the 80s and the 90s in two double cd.
This issue is inspired by the dadaist movement and work, you`ll find some cool graphics, some comics, an article about the Chaos Day In Hannover and another one about how to grow up marijuana at home.
