GUERRA FREDDA/STRELNIKOFF - Concerto Al C.S.A. Udine - (Not On Label-Italy-1989)

 Strelnikoff were a Slovenian  electro punk-rock band active in between 1988 and 2001. Members were Franek Markošek - guitar, Robert Ceglar - saxophone, Tomaž Vučer - bass (1988-1989), Sergej Steblovnik - vocals & programming, Vasja Ocvirk - vocals & programming, Scheet (ex Afflict) - bass (1989-1990), Aleš Uratnik (ex Epidemic Zone, Non Finire Mai) - bass (1994-1997), Iztok Mravlje (ex Phone Box Vandals, Semprini) - bass (from 1997).

The Strelnikoff Mary of Help of Brezje controversy or the Strelnikoff Affair (Slovene: Afera Strelnikoff) began after a depiction of Mary of Help of Brezje holding a rat instead of Jesus,it was published by the Slovenian music group Strelnikoff on the cover of their 1998 album Bitchcraft. The album was made in protest of the official views of the Roman Catholic Church in Slovenia and the statements of some of its highest representatives on the subject of abortion.
The first to condemn this depiction was Franc Rode, who was the Bishop of Ljubljana at the time. This was followed by general public outcry and expressions of the inappropriateness of the misuse of one of the most known symbols of Slovenian Catholicism. The State Attorney's Office received 3,867 public protests and 1,208 requests for indictment. These were united in one that was at first rebuffed before the Celje District Court. However, the state prosecutor Elizabeta Gyorkos filled a complaint. The group members also received phone calls and threats. In August 2003, the indictment was refused by the Ljubljana Higher Court as well. In accordance with the Constitution of Slovenia and the Slovenian law, the court concluded that the authors were "tasteless in their artistic project, however they did not surpass the boundary of allowed at all."

Flour Power N3 - (Fanzine-Canada-1993)

 As described on the cover, this zine is all about anarchism and punk music. It reports many anarchist activities (bookfairs, meetings, workshops, conferences) and punk festivals and gigs mainly happened in Canada around the early 90s. A good tool to research the underground scene of that era in northern America.

ATTANAS - Joulupukki-E.P. - (Hätäapu Records-Finland-1987)

 

Attanas was a punk band of the late 1980s in the city of Tampere, Finland. Or from a place called Lentävänniemi in northern Tampere, to be more exact  Attanas, the band itself and their closest friends were members of a local youth club, "Lentsun klubi". From those youths was to become a band that wanted to tell what they thought of matters surrounding them without asking anybody. Also, they played their music just as they wanted, with no regrets. Influences were drawn first mainly from 77-punk but later there can be found similarities with hardcore or even speed metal. Not to forget about alcohol and its consumption. Though Attanas released four records, three 7" EP's and 8 tracks on a compilation album "Stop Vivisection - Use Yuppies", they never toured or even did too many gigs. The main reason for that was that they really didn't care too much to leave Lentävänniemi. (info from LastFm )  click me

BLIND JUSTICE - Demo Tape 4 - (Self Released-UK-1993)

Blind Justice formed in 1988 as Gus, vocals; Grant, guitars; Gavin, drums; and Jolly, bass. Immediately the band began writing their own material, together with a handful of cover versions (mostly from the Ramones).

The band played a few gigs and recorded their first demo tape titled Rock'n'Roll Vermin with its original line up. Jolly parted company in 1989, joining fellow Merthyr punk band Foreign Legion. Wolfie joined on bass for a while but was replaced by ex-Foreign Legion bassist Eggy for the band's second recording session in 1990, collectively titled Into The 90s. This line-up was stable for the duration of the band's lifespan, until sometime in 1994 when the band ceased.

During 1993 signs were positive for the band with their anti-prejudice song X-Ray Vision appearing on Bosstunage Records' early compilation LP Floor 81 (which also included classic 1990s UK underground punk / alternative bands Sink, Sofa-Head, Love Junk, Exit Condition and many more), a cassette titled 9193 was released by Polish label Demonstracja Tapes (using recordings from the last two cassettes Self Injustice & 43).

There was also a 7" and an album planned with Full Circle Records (which was announced in Maximum Rock'N'Roll through an interview with Full Circle's Andy Turner). Unluckily for Blind Justice Full Circle soon closed down. A couple of other small independent record labels were also in discussion with the band at this time but these didn't progress further. This was the beginning of the end for the band. Gus had also just started college in England, making rehearsals almost impossible.

Following the first cassette Rock 'n' Roll Vermin with Jolly on bass, Blind Justice recorded five further sessions, with Eggy on bass. The first was the Into The 90s cassette, the next two in 1991 combined to make the Self Injustice cassette. Another recording in 1993 made the cassette titled 43 and a final one song demo, which would help to make up the Blind Justice cassette on Poland's Demonstracja Tapes.

Blind Justice played gigs across Wales and England, with a short mini Irish tour (with Northern Irish band Alumni Feedback) in 1992. The band supported bands including UK Subs, Joyce McKinney Experience, The Abs, Thatcher On Acid, Wat Tyler, Cowboy Killers and many others, together with the band's own headline shows.

There were numerous compilation tapes, fanzine articles and interviews with or about Blind Justice, together with independent distributors, spreading the music and name, from across the world (predominantly Europe, with some in USA, South Africa and other places too) including: Suspect Device (UK), Vision On (UK), Pogo Post (Germany), Zips and Chains (Italy/Yugoslavia), Puke (South Africa), Crude (USA), Crud (UK), Little Green Man Music (UK), No Man's Land (France) plus many more.

All the recordings were demo tapes, rather than highly polished official releases, which perhaps catches the band's live sound better than spending months in the studio: The total hours spent in a studio recording and mixing would add up to about a week (17 songs). (from their official webpage)

I have posted already their Demo Tape n3 released in 1991.To complete this post I am adding their only official video of the track "X Ray Vision", and I left these tracks as waves. Enjoy it.
