YOUTH OF TODAY - Take A Stand (Live) CD (1992)

YOUTH OF TODAY - Take A Stand (Live) CD
(Lost And Found Records, LF 044)

No need to introduce YOUTH OF TODAY here. The live-recording is kinda enjoyable, and I was wondering if this is a "legal" release done by the famous bootlegs kings from hannover, Lost and Found Records. It´s not a secret anymore that mostly of their releases in the early 90s are not as "official" as they always try to let the buyer think. Alot of oversea bands were ripped off by L&F.
L&F were also famous for the lack of informations about the recordings, so I really can´t tell you when and where the live songs were recorded. All I can say is, if you ever want to hear YOUTH OF TODAY doing a CRO-MAGS cover ("Malfunctions"), now you have the chance to, along w/ 29 more songs. So enough value for money...

CHARLEY´S WAR - s/t 7" (1990)

CHARLEY´S WAR - s/t 7" (1990)
(Crucial Response Records, CRR 009)
CHARLEY´S WAR, from Berlin, were on of the first Straight-Edge/NYHC-Style bands from germany. In the early 90s there was a real hype around this band. The famous "Zap" Fanzine featured the band alot, along with for example 7 INCH BOOTS.

So Peter Hören from Crucial Response Records (which were and still is a outstanding SxE/HC label) took the chance to released this 7".
As far as I remember there were alot of trouble afterward between the band and Peter. Things about retouched pics of the band (plain white t-shirt vs. a WARZONE shirt), non-printed lyrics and cut versions of thanks lists and stuff like that. Through MAD Tour Booking (you know the deal?!?) CHARLEY´S WAR toured alot with american bands like SLAPSHOT, UPFRONT etc. and get´s kinda kown within the scene.
Personally I liked the 7" alot, but afterward the band I used to sing back in the days played togeher w/ CHARLEY´S WAR I was totally disappointed because they guys from CW were acting real rockstarish.

Nevertheless, this 7" is kinda importend for german hardcore... so see it as a historic document, even through music wise it didn´t stand the test of time!

SECOND COMBAT - What Has Inspired Us 7" (2006)

SECOND COMBAT - What Has Inspired Us 7"
(Commitment Records, COM30)
I do love South/East Asia, and I do love go backpacking there. The best part were always when I heard/read about a HC/Punk show going on there. Over the years I visit several punk shows in thailand, indonesia and malaysia and guess what: the shows were always GREAT! Everytime the kids going wild and party fuckin hard on every bands which had played there. No matter if that was a local band, or one of the few "westernd" bands which had the guts to tour S/E Asia - the kids slamdanced, stagedived, moshed and try to sing along the best they can...
Now, what have these things to do w/ SECOND COMBAT?
Well, SECOND COMBAT are a straight edge hardcore band from Malaysia. They even managed to tour europe a few years ago. They were the second band (the first one were a screamo band... can´t remember their name, sorry!) from Malaysia which took the chance to tour here... and now comes the funny thing about that: everytime a band from malaysia comes over to good old europe, I was backpacking somewhere in S/E Asia and I missed the band. Stupid me or aka. bad timing...

V/A - Revive Us Again (1993)

V/A - Revive Us Again (1993)
(Machination Records, Number One)

Here´s another Compilation 7" before I go to bed. Hailing from Belgium, Machination Records brings us 8 Songs from 7 bands from all over the world. It starts with the mince/grindcore kings AGATHOCLES with a uncommonly hardcoreish track called "Get Off Your Ass" to followed by MEDICINE MAN from NYC with their strange sounding Hardcore/Punk. RUPTURE with their bad sounding track "Green Goblin´s Our Leader" and "Have a Free Life" by belgium crustcore kings HIATUS ends side A.

Side B starts with two songs by MAN IS THE BASTARDS, followed by a crustcore song from EXCREMENT OF WAR from the UK. "Don´t Need A Fucking God", a HEROIN cover by NATIONS ON FIRE ends this nice little plastic thing. All in all a quite well, but not a really "must-have" compilation with a few bigger names (MAN IS THE BASTARDS, AGATHOCLES, NATIONS ON FIRE...)

EVEN SCORE - A New Means 7" (1990)

EVEN SCORE - A New Means 7" (1990)
(Axtion Packed Records, #003)
Can´t tell you much about this record, expect that Tony Victory (yes, that guy from Victory Records) use to sing in this band.
Typical late 80s/early 90s style Straight Edge Hardcore, which could also has been released on such labels like Conversion, Revelation or Victory Records.
The 7" (or rather the mastering of the 7") has a very bad sounding, without praise myself: I think this rip sounds even better than the orginal...

UNDERTOW - The Extinction Of All That Is Holy 7" (1990)

UNDERTOW - The Extinction Of All That Is Holy 7" (1990)
(Overkill Records OKR 004)
This 7" is the product of a mispressing. Usually the both songs use to be on the UNDERTOW / RESOLUTION Split 7", but somehow 250 of this 7" were made with 1 song on each side, wrapped in a funny "heavy metal" rip-off cover.
If you don´t know UNDERTOW: they played 90s metallic moshing straight edge hardcore, not to be confounding with nowadays metallic "hardcore-bands"
