ONE MAN NATION - Requiem For A Government CD (2004)

ONE MAN NATION - Requiem For A Government CD (2004)
(D.I.Y.)
Seems I got my "emo" day today, but fuck, this is too good to go unheard.
As I travel to south/east asia a few years back, I had the opportunity to visit some great hardcore/punk/oi shows there. At one show in singapore I see this "band" (in fact it was just a young chinese boy/man called Marc), standing there in front of the euphoric crowd, just arm w/ his guitar and this voice sending one shiver after another down my spine. "How intense is that?"
Think about a young BILLY BRAGG or maybe CHUCK RAGAN and you get maybe the point...
Strange things thru: After I ripped the CD I bought back than in singapore I try to google for some informations about OMN, and shortly I notice that marc is still around, living now in rotterdam (NL) and still doing music, but in a different vein.

HOT WATER MUSIC / RYDELL Split 7" (1998)

HOT WATER MUSIC / RYDELL Split 7" (1998)
(Scene Police Records #002)
Somehow I always liked HWM. I like the rawness in their "emotional" songs, I like the raw voice of their (main)-singer, Chuck Ragan and I very much like their lyrics, which inspired me alot.
Even their newest records were poppy, they broke up and "reunion" later... which is a thing I really hate in the hc/punk-scene.... HWM will always have a place in my heart.
This song is a demo-song.
I dunno much about the band from the flipside: RYDELL, except they´re coming from the UK and they´re ex-COUCH POTATOES. The song seems to be unreleased.

About the record label: Scene Police Records is now "dead and gone", but in the late 90s - early 2000s they had released some great records incl. bands like HAMMERHEAD, YAPHET KOTTO, TIGER LOU, STALINGRAD, STRIKE ANYWHERE, LACK and such...I don´t know why, but their website still works: http://www.scenepolice.de/

RORSCHACH / 1.6 BAND Split 7" (1994)

RORSCHACH / 1.6 BAND Split 7" (1994)
(Chainsaw Safety Records / Troubleman Unlimited TM005)
Not sure about the release year of this one, both songs were recorded in 1992, but 1994 were mention on the leaflet, somewhere on the internet I also read 1995.... *shrug*
Anyway, both bands do a cover of a classic hardcore-punk band. RORSCHACH do a intense cover of "My War" by BLACK FLAG, 1.6 BAND do a poppy cover of "Trying" by DAG NASTY... *sweet*
