Armed With Anger N5-(Fanzine-UK-1998)

A very good zine made in Bradford on the end of the 90s, with a print run of 1000 copies.

In this issue long and interesting interviews to Kent McClard of Ebullition Recs, Martin Sprouse of Pressure Drop Press, Timojhen Mark of Vaccum Recs, Four Wall Falling, Stalingrad, a report about DIY travelling in Mexico(kind of funny and very entertaining), an article about Class Conflict and the Globalised Economy + reviews of books, movies, music and zines.

 A nice graphic layout, pictures and flyers finish a cool example of well done underground press.

Enjoy it.

CALL THE COPS...-Demos-(Self Released-Belgium or USA(?)-200?)

Another kind of mistery tape here. It appears that there are many bands with this name, unfortunately, the cover sleeve only reports the song titles, an email address and a  b/w picture with the musician's names.
I was told that this band is from Belgium yet I think they are from the States, I have no idea if they are still active or when they were and if they released other productions.

Music-wise they play a form of  HC Punk similar to Anthrax(UK), Dirt, F.U.A.L. and a few bits to Schwartzeneggar,2 angry vocals (female and male), twangy and fast guitar riffs, powerful drums and a fine line that cross the melody with the rough intents.

The recording of the Rough Demo(Side A) is pretty good, while the other side(Basement demo) is a bit rawer yet quite enjoyable too.

A track called Paris `05 makes me think that this cassette came out after 2005, a track named Paris is included in the compilation We`re All Society Victims(Vol 1) released in 2008 by the American label Resistance In Noise, and it should be the same band but...

200 copies were pressed and it offers us 17 songs, it is definitely a great tape for people into old school anarcho-punk making the verse to bands coming out from Crass Records.

Anyone out there with more info please leave a message. 

Enjoy it.

GORGONZOLA LEGS-Salmon Squeezing In Weird Weirs-(Exart-Holland-c60-1986)

1984 was the year in which Gert Jan Prins (www.gjp.info/) visited Hessel and Nicole at their apartment on the 11th floor, overlooking a big industrial landscape. Recording-sessions were started at Gert Jan’s “Fish Warehouse” studio. Gert Jan Prins, Hessel Veldman, Herman te Loo and Jos van Duyne became GORGONZOLA LEGS. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of “live”-recording sessions took place. At some of these sessions, other musicians were present, such as Jos van Ommen, Ruud Junge, Martijn Swart and Masaki Oishi. At the end of 1984 “GORGONZOLA LEGS” was released. On this one hour cassette, the first mixed recordings could be heard. The group also wanted to do concerts and so GORGONZOLA LEGS more and more became a “live”-band.

In 1986 a second tape was released, entitled “SALMON SQUEEZING IN WEIRD WEIRS’, a new compilation of “Fish Warehouse”-recordings. “BUNKER” was recorded live at the Bunker in Rotterdam, October ’86. The complete concert could be heard on another EXART-issue. In 1987 the powerful voice of the Japanese singer Masaki Oishi gave a new dimension to the sound of GORGONZOLA LEGS. Hours and hours of recordings were made. At the end of the year, 6 hours of mixed material had to be remixed to L.P.-format. In April 1988 EXART decided to make it Holland’s first independent C.D.-release: “PISCATORIAL DEBRIS’. At the same time, with the great help of Henry van Kleeff, the “PISCATORIAL DEBRIS” video was made. A beautiful 20 minutes sound sculpture video was realized. The video and C.D. got a lot of international attention and was performed on several big music/video festivals. During the late 80s, GORGONZOLA LEGS-material was also released on labels in Portugal, Italy and the U.S.A.(from djima.blogspot.com)

GORGONZOLA LEG

  EXART (label, studio and archive) was founded by Hessel Veldman and Nick Nicole (2) in October 1982. In 1978 Hessel had started composing experimental music and before 1978 he was playing the guitar in several local blues- and rock bands. The label wanted to spread new experimental and improvised music. The studio was the place to improvise, compose, record and make radio-programmes, mixes and remixes. At the same time, Veldman started to preserve sounds in the Exart archive. The label ended its activities in 1995, although there are rumours that Veldman has plans to do digitalized reissues of some of the releases.
Variations on the label name (Exart Cassettes, Exart K7) are used on some of the releases.

Violent Noize N2-(Fanzine-Usa-1986)

Violent Noize was an American fanzine focused on extreme metal: thrash, death, black and all the various subgenres.

In this second issue interviews to Aggression, Death, Wehrmacht, Sacrifice, Kreator, Insanity, Termimal Death + lots of tape/vinyl reviews, news, nice pics and flyers.

Very well done, this is a great example of the lively underground press from the metal scene of the fabulous 80s.

Enjoy it.
