Deprived/Resist - Fuck All Governments

Here's my election post for you kids. Great split single from 1992, on Profane Existence, Deprived/Resist, Fuck All Governments. Simple but pertinent I feel. I said somewhere recently that I wasn't a massive cover version fan. I often contradict myself like this. On here you get a couple of crackers. Deprived cover The Instigators 'The Blood Is In Your Hands' from their classic debut L.P. While Resist give us Spinal Tap's 'Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You'. Quality.
Something for everyone on this relaese I feel. Click covers to go to Profane Existence.
Move 'em out!




Deprived/Resist - Fuck All Governments

Ad Nauseam - Brainstorm E.P.

I'd been going to post this for a while, then when I googled it I saw a few people had posted it before. But have it anyway.Nation On Fire has posted the album and a few of the tapes as well.
If you look at the last post you'll see this Porstmouth outfit on Rectify's thanks list. This stems from the fact that Ad Nauseam supported the Subhumans in Ebbw Vale back in 82, and friendships were forged. Classified Protest supported them a few times down on the South Coast.
Great E.P. Gruff vocals. You can't beat a tune about the old Iron Lady.

Nice t-shirt Ad Nauseam fella!

Rectify - 20th Century E.P.

What's that I hear you say? Stop plugging gigs no bugger can get to, and play some more music you old bastard. No need to be so rude, but I heed your call. Anyway, Classified Prtotest's last line up changed their name to Rectify, & this was the first vinyl result. The 20th Century E.P. Belting little single self released on Taff Core records. Mudgey played guitar & did the art work & is sadly no longer with us. Pig now This System Kills, did the vocals & Wedge now of Four Letter Word, played the drums. Where Footy is now i'm not sure, but he was a solid bass player and all round top bloke. Worth the admission for 'Countdown' alone.

Faslane Peace Camp Punx Picnic

The gig Peroxide organised tonight, went rather well. Some good sets. Post 84 had to pull out last minute, but were replaced with the rather fine Gung Ho (some shared band members & stuff). Kryophere were excellent so reports say. Anyway nigh on £200.00 was raised for Faslane, & if your in that area next weekend, your in for a treat. Check flyer.

Peroxide Gigs

Like it says on the tin. Should be an entertaining evening. Check previous Post 84 post.

Masskontroll - Flexi

Masskontroll, from Portland U.S.A., with a flexi disc (I love these things) from 1994 on Consensus Reality records. Limited top 2000 copies. What you'd expect from Portland with three tracks of Disorder/E.N.T. inspired noise. Track 2 'Kill Your T.V.' is not a Ned's Atomic Dustbin cover. Just warning you like.

Play Dead - T.V. Eye

One of me favourite bands, Play Dead from 1981, with their second single, on Fresh Records, (great Label Fresh) T.V. Eye.
I used to have the shirt with Bat on, which I wore for years. First saw them supporting Killing Joke on the 'Fire Dances' tour, still one of the best gigs i've been to to this day. We were supposed to be staying at the house of Demented Are Go guitarist (who one of our mate's knew) but when we turned up he said there was too many of us and we ended up sleeping rough in a playground.
Once gave Play Dead's drummer Whiff a lift when he was hitching. It was just after they had split up, and I saw this guy at roundabout near Oxford who looked familiar. I was going to High Wycombe, (where I lived at the time) and this guy said he was going to a drumming audition in London. Killing Joke came on the tape deck & he said he'd once played with them in Cardiff (noticing the old twang like). Penny drops! Grabs the leather jacket off the back seat. Proudly shows Whiff the Bat badge on the lapel. Really nice guy. Wonder if he got the gig? Whiff if your out there. I doubt you remember that lift as well as I do!



Play Dead - T.V. Eye
Play Dead - Final Epitaph

One of the best appearances on The Tube (in my opinion) Now on You Tube.

Post 84

Welcome again, to me round up of all things South Walian, I think deserve the attention of you lovely people in Peru. Really good young band, from Pontypridd South Wales, Post 84. Remind me a lot of Icons Of Filth or The Fits. They're currently looking for gigs for their June tour, so if you can get 'em a gig drop them a line on their my-space. Click logo.
Playing a benefit gig, organised by Peroxide (blog Photographer), for the faslane peace camp on, Friday April 25th 2008 @ the dyffryn, Aberbargoed. So book your flight from Peru today. Or maybe start rowing (carbon footprints innit!).
Check out the video. I really like this.

The Dark - Chemical Warfare

A request of sorts. It's amazing what blogging can make you do, for some mad Scots bloke you've never met. The Dark, with their only L.P., Chemical Warfare.
They seem to be largely remembered these days for the track "The Masque" which seems to crop up on various Goth comps from time to time (and featured hereon this L.P.), but The Dark had far more in their Arsenal than that. They had with strong links to the Anarcho scene, recording often at Southern Studios.
After they split in 1982 Langham went on to join Action Pact and later formed Anagram Records, the Punk Rock offshoot label of Cherry Red. He died at the age of 27.
Fresh Records.
If you like it. Buy a copy of The Best of The Dark From Captain Oi! Nuzz will tell you how good they are.



The Dark - Chemical Warfare

New Model - Chilean Warning

No it's not New Model Army. Not the New Model Army we all know & love (well I know & love anyway). Both bands did share the same name for a while though I seem to remember before this lesser known outfit dropped the Army part of the name. Only ever heard this single by New Model, which Peel played quite a lot when it came out. Anyone know if they released anything else? Plying the same sort of vein as they're better known namesakes. Great obscurity this from 1983.

New Model - Chilean Warning

New Model - The World Thru Our Eyes. Totalitarian Terror

Action Pact - Johnny Fontaine

I love Action Pact. Regular visitors will testify. Great Video. I think.....

Oh, yeah.
Here's the Peel Session.
Yeah. I Know...

Action Pact - Peel Session

Undead - Violent Visions

Another early eighties cut for in the the shape of The Undead, on Bristol's Riot City Records 1982.
The B Side of this I particulary like, always put me in mind of a rougher Crisis. Always like it when you here proper U.K. terminolgy on a record, 'get back to yer houses/In front of your tellys'. Underated band.
If you like this sort of stuff go over to Nation On Fire where Gabe is blogging like a demon even as I type. He's posted some great stuff over the last few days, or Punk Belongs To Punks who's posted the Undead L.P. If you like a bit of UK 82 like what I does, give 'em both a go. Fantastic stuff on both.
