This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb - Front Seat Solidarity
Hey, so it's summer. I kinda forgot about that because I've been busy with worrying about finding some place where I can be an intern. But let's not bother ourselves with petty trivia, here's something that I always go back to if I feel sad or down or whatever you call it. I don't know why but folk-punk always helps out, probably in part because of its beautiful simplicity.
Folk-punk, for those who might not be familiar with it, is a basically acoustic punk. No distortion, clean vocals and/or acoustic instruments makes it sound a lot like folk but much more aggressive and fun. It's the best from both worlds in short.
This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb was a band that had a pretty good run but sadly they stopped doing music last year which sucks. This album is probably their best that they did. There's a duo of female and male vocalists, one bass, clean electric guitar and drums which all form one really great mold of musicians with relatively good lyrics attached to the music. All songs are uplifting in melodies (although not all in theme) and they're just long enough that they don't get boring or repetitive. It's great fun if you're in the mood for it. Check it out sometimes.

World Burns To Death - No Dawn Comes... Night Without End 7'' EP
Here's something a bit more harsh than the usual music that I'm lately posting. World Burns To Death is a crusty hardcore/d-beat whatever punk band from Texas. World Burns To Death’s music reflects the tradition of ’80s purist American hardcore (Negative Approach and Minor Threat), European bands influenced by, and including, Discharge, and japanese hardcore punk (Burning Spirits). Also in the mix may be hints of black metal and crust. In any case if you want some good violent fun get this 7''.Tracklist:
| A1 | No One Is Right, If No One Is Left | |||
| A2 | Silent Hunger | |||
| B1 | Curse Them Forever | |||
| B2 | Night Without End |
Necros
Ah good old punk. This short records kinda brings me back the nostalgia of those suburban high school punk bands from USA. Not that I ever lived there but I can picture how their life was (or at least approximate :D).
The Necros was formed in 1979 in Maumee, Ohio. They were a punk band made up of high school kids playing fast, furious, short songs of the sort that were eventually dubbed “hardcore” by the media a couple years later. In 1980, the Necros recorded a demo, and in early 1981, Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson (of Touch and Go fanzine) fronted the money to release 4 of those songs as a 7” record (commonly known as the Sex Drive 7”). This 7” became the first release on Touch and Go Records.
It might be recognized as hardcore later but it sounds like ordinary punk to me. D:
Anyway I have two of their releases:

AK-47 - November 13th Split


If anyone remembers I mentioned something in the "overview of the year" post that I ripped most of my vinyls and that I'll be posting them. As usual it took me forever to start scanning the cover and editing everything. Finally this process is (mostly) complete and I present you the very first of my 7'' punk as fuck vinyls!
AK-47 is an anarcho-communist crust punk from Croatia. They are one of the legends of our scene and played many shows everywhere. While I'm not really into politics of any kind I certainly enjoy their music and their lyrics are very truthful and shocking. While they do promote communist ideals their lyrics are also about the hard working class and their suffering. They have just one song on this split and it's a story about people in Jasenovac which was an extermination camp in NDH (a puppet state durring the WW2).
November 13th is a hardcore band from uh, I think USA. They play classic hardcore punk and are quite fun to listen but I must say that AK steals all the glory from this record.
I scanned all the inserts and everything. The Croatian band was also very thoughtfull so they translated their lyrics into German and English. ^_^
Tracklist:
01. AK-47 - ...ova je pjesma crvena kao krv suboraca... (6:39)
02. November 13th - Ancient Spirits (1:47)
03. November 13th - Furst (1:52)
04. November 13th - Burn Them Down (2:06)

Grč (Spasm) - Sloboda Narodu
Sloboda Narodu is translated to Freedom to the People. Grč (or spasm) is an band that came out of my city. They were a part of so called Riječki novi val (Rijekas new wave) movement in which more famous bands like Pankrti, Termiti, Parafi etc. also were. It was a movement of alternative music (mostly punk) that started around the beginning of 80s. They also have this controversial song called "Tonight Beograd burns" (first track) which may lead to people think that they are right wing nationalists which is wrong. The song called like that to provoke the communist regime not national hate. And that song really did make an impact because their first concert was violently canceled by the police. The music is I guess post punk, dark and gloomy. Definitely check out.Tracklist:
01. Noćas Se Beograd Pali (2:56)
02. Još Ima Krvi (3:19)
03. Crne Rukavice (4:09)
04. Ja I Sloboda Isti Smo (3:48)
05. Krv Je Moje Svijetlo I Moja Tama (8:20)
06. Nož U Mojoj Ruci (2:33)
07. Sloboda Narodu (5:09)

The Stalin - Stop Jap

The Stalin/ザ・スターリン was the most revolutionary and innovative punk rock band of the early 80’s and blew away all other attempts at Japanese punk rock with their unique and radical style. Former leader and the only constant member of the band was Michiro Endo, a 32-year-old social activist. The name STALIN is deeply hated by most Japanese people, so its a good name to create the right image, as Michirou explained when questioned about the controversial name of the band. He further explained that because of his socialist stance that the band name encapsulated the downside of every good idea. This band is terribly underrated.
Tracklist:
01. ロマンチスト (2:09)
02. Stop Jap (1:51)
03. 極楽トンボ (0:46)
04. 玉ネギ畑 (2:27)
