DECIBELIOS - Caldo De Pollo 1984

Let's start November with a classic. I'm cold and I am not made for cold hence to Spain. Decibelios are a cool Oi! Streetpunk band from Barcelona and were formed in 1980 and dissolved ten years later. They recorded five albums and several singles. They are considered as the first group of Oi! in Spain and largely responsible for the introduction of this movement in the country. First line-up were Fray (vox), Miguel (drums), Xavi (guitar), Macia (guitar) and Manolo (bass) and the group's original name was "dB". Some time later there was an American group that responded to the acronym of "dB" (The dB's) so they renamed in Decibelios. After their first concert in Madrid on March 20, 1982 they signed a contract with the DRO label and recorded their first single 'Paletas Putrefactos' which was published same year. Xavi left the band after recording and in 1982 came as a new guitarist Manel until 1990. 'Paletas Y... Bolingas', their 2nd 7Inch came out and one year later the debut record 'Caldo De Pollo' saw the light of day. Eleven fantastic streetpunk goodies, exactly the sound how I like and they impress the skinhead/punk scene a lot. For me their best record. 1996 as CD re-released with two bonus cuts. Gotta go now out into the world and maybe later one more post. Salud!

V/A - Chaos In Europe 1985

Another wonderful compilation of brilliant Oi!/Punk stuff is this record, released by Chaos Production and it brings a small sample of the punk scene here in Europe of the early 80s. I must confess that it's a long time ago I listen to but it's always a pleasure when I pick this record up again. Here's a review that says all: "Despite a well-drawn but obnoxious macho cover with blatant evocations of violence, the third Chaos Production compilation proves to be another very strong release. This one has band from all over Europe on if, thereby extending its range and variety. Herein one can find the standard French-style skunk (KOMINTERN SECT, REICH ORGASM, L'ENFANTS SAUVAGES, and Spain's DECIBELIOS), catchy pop punk (AL KAPOTT, DREI ORLOK, Spain's T.N.T., Holland's NV LE ANDEREN, and a killer cut from Sweden's ASTA KASK) pure Oi (BRUTAL COMBAT and Italy's NABAT), and all sorts of punk (KAMBRONES, Germany's F.F.F. and NEUROTIC ARSEHOLES, and Sweden's SLAM). Highly Recommended." - Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #27, August 1985) - Nothin' to add, so let's start the download and open a beer meanwhile.

COMANDO SUICIDA - Al K.O. EP 1987

Top rare record by this Argentine punk band called Comando Suicida, a partial continuation of Los Desalmados, a punk rock band formed 1981, from which came the members Sergio (vocals) and Key (guitar). El Mariskal (who later joined Trixy y los Maniáticos) and Fernán (drums, formerly of the band Alerta Roja) completed the band's lineup. In 1987 came this first vinyl via C.S. Records out with four raw Oi!/Punk classics, including a 4-Skins cover (Chaos) and they were influenced by bands such as Cockney Rejects, Last Resort, Decibelios, the 4-Skins and Nabat. After two compilation tracks on the Invasión 88 record, problems between two of the band's members caused the band to split. In 1998 they became active again and brought more records among the people. Now I have to go to bed.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Spain 1997

I finish the month of March with this pretty compilation of bands from Spain. In this country, we were happy to host and I can recommend anyone to visit this land. There's a lot historical to see, pleasant climate, people who talk like a machine gun, delicious food ... and finally cool music. Reliable and rare material from the early 80s is impressively cobbled together and for me one of the best Bloodstains records. I think no more than 500 copies were pressed - Anyway, sit back and enjoy!!!

KANGRENA - Terrorismo Sonoro EP 1983

Based in Barcelona are Kangrena and the four have only made in their short lifespan one 7Inch on Anarchi Rekords, and this sucker features five pieces of unique and irreproducible sound. The band was formed in 1981 by Kike (guitars), Johnny (bass) and Manolo (drums) while singer Quoque teamed up with them afterwards: He, uninvited, joined them up on stage for their version of "My Way" on a show in December that same year and was offered the vocalist's post. The name (a misspelling of the Spanish word for "gangrene"), was chosen because they wanted something that could be indentified with what they were doing. Or so they said in that interview for the Spanish fanzine "Melodias Destructoras." As for their influences, they said that musically it was the Sex Pistols sped up and Crass & Exploited lyrically. As for local influences, they expressed their like for Ultimo Resorte, Decibelios, R.I.P., Attak, Frenopaticss and some Siniestro Total stuff and their dislike for anything out of Madrid. They kept playing about once a month until their debut EP 'Terrorismo Sonoro' was released in 1983, some compilation appearances (mostly on tapes) followed and a seventeen track cassette called Estoc De Pus was released in 1984 and a second 'El Cubo De La Basura' a year later. Shortly thereafter the band broke up. Kangrena weren't famous for melodic songs, they are rough, untamed, undisciplined and uncompromising Hardcore that will blow your mind after several listens and more effective than any Aspirin, guaranteed!

V/A - Despues Del Holocausto-Una Ofensiva Musical 1983

I made some re-ups and I can tell you, write in the comment section should be a post down, I fix it asap. Now an interesting compilation which comes from DRO and on this record Punk meets Pop. A daring mix I think and very successful for me. Right away I can't think of a comparable combination, but Spanish music is multifaceted and I don't think the idea is bad at all, as it offers the opportunity to examine some bands more closely and thus gain more attention and Discos Radioactivos Organizados is a small independent label, founded 1982 in Madrid, which mainly releasing Spanish New Wave groups, from Pop to Punk or Industrial. Let yourself be enchanted by this varied slab and enjoy the sunny days.

V/A - Punk ¿Qué Punk? Vol.2 1994

DRO, an independent now-defunct spanish music label, released this compilation in 1994 and were famous with mainly lots of releases of Spanish new wave groups, from pop to punk to industrial. The label was bought in early 90's by East West, due to financial problems. It was by then a main stream label already. The label was founded in 1982, with the first release of Aviador Dro, a minimal electronic pop band from Madrid, Spain. And here they have released another highlight, perhaps the last useful publication, from the sunny south of Europe into the world, and it is a gem. 14 Spanish-Punk-Rock-Grade A. After Volume 1 has already been a killer follows with part two the essential sequel. The songs were recorded between 1983 - 1992 and again they show that Spain also had a colorful active underground scene. A colorful mix of all punk-styles can be heard and blessed are the makers...cooles Teil!
