interlude

I'm going to Georgia for the a short break. Later rebels!

Suburban Voice

Suburban Voice has been turning out super magazines for years. It is one of the few that I enjoy reading cover to cover. This cd came with #41 the 15th year anniversary. A very fine compilation covering bands from the early 80's until the late 90's. All the bands are pretty well known and have vinyl that you should still be able to get hold of fairly easily. http://rapidshare.com/files/44806805/Suburban_Voice_15th_anniversary.rar

jAck

Jack is from Hungary and some of their songs have a definite eastern feel. Well worth a listen to and also to check out their excellent lyrics. One track is a cover from Aurora. Never heard of them but will have to investigate further. http://rapidshare.com/files/44801723/Jack.rar

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles

I've been a fan since I heard their amazing 1982 EP that had 22 songs in 18 minutes. I think they were the first band I heard that played "thrash" and they were the first band that introduced me to the term "Crossover". They played in Tampa a few years back and I made the short trek up there to see them. I asked Kurt if I could video the band and he said fine as long as I gave them the tape at the end of the gig. I did and he mailed it back to me with some stickers. The recording here is almost 1 1/5 hours long. They sure didn't just come into town to play a quick set and then piss off. I don't think the gig ended until 2 in the morning. I had to be at work at 5 so ended up getting no rest at all. The supporting bands were some local bands plus Kill Allen Wrench, who are entertaining although sexist. The Mentors who rocked out some spiritual songs. They are certainly everything"ist". Sworn Enemy that play NY inner city in your face hardcore. http://rapidshare.com/files/44612429/DRI-Live_Brass_Mug__Tampa.rar The MP3 is only in mono as i just transferred it from the video tape.
DRI have a good looking website: www.dirtyrottenimbeciles.com/home.htm

PC

The next post will be from a DRI gig . Here is a little sampler of the supporting bands Kill Allen Wrench, The Mentors and Sworn Enemy. KAW and Mentors are definitely not PC unless that stands for "pretty creepy". http://rapidshare.com/files/44593524/Kill_Mentor_Enemy.rar

circle JERKS

Here's a concert I recorded of the circle JERKS at Jannus Landing St. Pete, FL. Oh! No link that's because Keith Morris refused to stand up for me and tell the bouncers to back off. He was spouting all this stuff about freedom and self expression, anti-authority etc. My wife said "this guy is saying some pretty good things" then he showed what a hypocrite he is by letting the bouncers smash up my tape and throw me out.

Rebel84

Shame on you that do not post or read comments. Here's some of what Rebel84 posted with some information on Chilean punk and links to fine music. I was at the Crass Witham gig at the Labour Hall in 1981 and am eternally greatful to Rebel84 for the link and to those he got the gigs from. Check out the Conflict comments to find links to other Crass gigs. Hi Pogel!, here's the Witham gig:http://rapidshare.com/files/30568990/Crasswitham81.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/30575707/Crasswitham81.part2.rar(credits to Babbler from Skafunkrasta punk forum) Unfortunately, Chile doesn't have a great punk history. The first punk bands start to play around 1987...this situation was mostly because the fascist dictatorship between 1973-1989.Anyway, the few bands that recorded in the late 80's are here in 2 compilations, and a best of comp. by the most important chilean punk band in my opinion, who start to play in 1987:VA - Compilado punk chileno 1987-1991 (Bootleg, very low quality recordings...sorry)- http://sharebee.com/3608dfe3VA - Clasicos Del Punk Chileno ("chilean punk classics", relesead in CD in 2003, all original recordings from 1989) - http://sharebee.com/4a865f30Fiskales Ad-Hok - Best Of comp. - http://www.zshare.net/download/27670765320703/Greetings!!
