"Ladies & Gentlemen, This Is PUNKROCK!!!!!" If an record so begins only cool shit can put on there. I open solemnly another round of the legendary compilation series and this is a pretty piece of vinyl which contains the first five Killed By 7inch EPs. Most of those were released only in editions of 300 copies and they quickly disappeared. If you missed out on those now you have here the chance. Rumours going around that a second LP is planned for Vol. 6-10 but I've never seen any. Fuck it! this is an average collection of tracks and I'm sure you pick it up.

V/A - Killed By 7Inch #10 EP 2000

With this EP, the small edition Killed By 7Inch is complete and all other volumes are here. Number 10 was not easy to find but who seeks finds, isn't it? Four rare goodies of course and the Invaders one is the best on this record, they released one 7'' and this is the a-side and a solid mid-tempo tune, the flip is a waste of time, Amsterdamned's hardcore tune were taken from the compilation Als Je Haar Maar Goed Zit #2 from 1983, excellent stuff. Florida based band F starts the b-side with a fast track from their 'You Are An EP' single on Intendo Distorto Records from 1984 and last but not least the False Prophets with the title gem of their second slab Good Clean Fun from 1982. I'm sure, your breakfast will taste better with this sound. I will take a shower and come back soon.

THE FLYIN' SPIDERZ - s/t LP 1977

Eindhoven formation begins in 1976 as rhythm & blues band, closely related to the British pubrock. In 1977 the group switching to punk. The Flyin' Spiderz is the first Dutch punk band that appears on plate. In the early days the band is affiliated with the Dynamite label and booking agency of the European independent pioneer Pieter Meulenbroek (Sky Dog). The single 'Down', with a cover design by Joost Swarte, is never released. The group plays in 1977 as opening for The Damned in Paradiso. Sky Dog goes over the head and the band gets offered a contract with EMI. The debut album contains aggressive rock & roll, which is more like the music of pre-punk band as Count Bishops than that of the Pistols or The Damned. The Spiderz touring extensively throughout the country and arouse their energetic show and punk image especially in rural bewildered and sometimes aggressive responses. 

1978 the second album 'Let It Crawl' came out and goes more into rock. From the moment bassist Van Vugt is replaced by Jan Snep, remains messing around this time equivalent. One year later a third album called 'Birthday' was planned but was not released because EMI terminates the contract. Roadie Bart Brouwer joins as a keyboard player in the band, which moves the band into a more melodic. The band recently called in to The Spiderz and brings the 'Pressure' album out on WEA.

The fourth record 'Lines Of Lust' goes towards new wave. The group is expanding its field successfully to France, including appearances on TV, in Gribus Club in Paris and at the Festival of Montreux (July 13th). In England, the group in the schedule during the British tour of Iggy Pop. The British bassist Walter Langdon replaces John Snep. A new mix of I'm Yours Tonight appears on single with a guest role on keys Manfred Man.

After releasing the 7inch 'The Test' in 1981 the band broke up.

So this debut album was released in 1977 and is the first Punk LP by a Dutch Band and it's pretty fantastic. It's apparent in the music that this was a pub rock band that adapted quickly to the new punk sound spreading it's filth across Europe. "These four erratic Dutchmen, led by rhythm guitarist/singer/songwriter Guus Boers, put forth solid, Stonesy punk just a hair better than a hundred others of like mind, threatening to turn derivation to their advantage but never quite succeeding. Neither album shows more than fleeting signs of excitement, and neither has better than perfunctory production." Check more Spiderz on the Killed By Death #F.U.2 and Killed By Epitaph or other essential compilations.

V/A - Killed By 7Inch #9 EP 2000

The next various EP is a bootleg, limited to 400 copies on thick black vinyl, plain white labels. One band from the U.K., the others from the States. And as we are used to it by the 12inch compilations bless us this little piece of vinyl just as with rare and superb punk goodies. I must say the 7inches of the 'Killed By Death' series are very hard to find and I'm glad I have a few, so search this Blog for it. Maybe sometimes comes the LP with all singles from # 6 - # 10 out as it did with the first five volumes which you can snatch here. You know with a record like this you can't go wrong, all four songs damn good and my favourite here is The Mel's cut. Detailed info in the file and on the back cover. It's the first post for today and it's early in the morning, first get bread and then again clothes wash. Enjoy the weekend and this little juwel.

V/A - Killed By 7Inch #8 EP 1999

In 1996 the Killed By Death Series starts small in form of ten 7 Inches and of course, again with extremely rare punk rock from the glory old days when this sound kicks every resonable head, ähem. Published again on Redrum Records in limited editions and still not found anywhere. So here is #8 with five bands and six rare goodies. What can I say, consistently cool. I love all the KBD records and I can really hardly detect a failure, that is music that simply moves into the blood and stays inside till collapse. This is what I feel. Anyway, you have the chance to get volume 1-5 on one record which came out in 2000. Get this quick and more pieces follow!

TRASH - This Is Complete Trash! 2011

I remember their first 7Inch was posted on my former blog and since then this great band has been forgotten until I was asked for this compilation which was published by Only Fit For The Bin Records in an edition of 200 copies only as CD six years ago. Twelve rare goodies, the pieces of their singles + unreleased demos & live material and an radio interview from 1977. Trash formed 1976 in Weybridge/Surrey and signed to Polydor (!) and released two singles. Auditioned in front of Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle for the role as a mod group in the film 'Quadrophenia', but didn't get the part. Trash split in 1979. Not much on compilations represent but the detectives immortalized them on Killed By Death #F.U.2 and Killed By Death #24. Enjoy the dirty sound of Trash and have always a smile ready.

SUBWAY - Jesus Loves Me 7'' 1978

Subway was a band from Groningen I think. Their first apperance was a song on the Keihard En Swingend! compilation in 1978. One year later they released this killer 7'' with two tracks on No Fun. After a majestic church intro starts Jesus Loves Me and the fuzzy guitars are awesome. These guys master their instruments and like the Nitwitz they play cool punk'n'roll. One year later they made a second slab in form of a mini-LP called One Way Subway on Universe Productions and this tops the 7Inch double. The band can be found on numerous compilations, the two best in my opinion Killed By Epitaph ('98) and Killed By Death #24 ('99). In February 1983, the group finally took leave at the My Generation festival.

HAND GRENADES - Demo To London 7'' 1979

There are certainly hotter records than the one that follows up now, but somehow the slab impose itself and after listening to it several times, the choice fell on this inconspicuous combo. Once upon a time 1979 in New York, home base of the Hand Grenades, and the four piece consisted of Bob (vocals/guitar), Dave (guitars), Steve (bass), Jon (drums). And that is the artifact of their long lost D.I.Y. nugget; A little piece of action which features two obscure tracks from their only 7Inch which they self-released in an undetermined quantity with omitted information. This kept these recordings hard-to-find for years. Last Laugh Records did a little research and released this Munro in 2018 with two more songs in a filigree 12" format, listen. That's is folks!... but wait... I should mention that the flip was used for the mega-fucking-rare Killed By 7Inch #3 compilation. And now off to the weekend... 😸

VILLAGE PISTOLS - Big Money 2000

One 7Inch made these guys on nylon records and both songs are superb, Big Money was immortalized on samplers (Killed By Death # 7) and the b-side is a nice Beatles cover, chic. The Village Pistols was a coming together of hare-brained ideas by several people living in and around Greensboro, North Carolina in the Summer and Fall of 1980 and broke up in 1981. This release is brought for us by the Italian label RaveUp Records and called American Lost Punk Rock Nuggets – Vol.7 with of course the 7inch and ten rough live recordings from October 1980 in Greensboro, cool artwork and extensive liner notes.

ISM - Attack 7'' 1980

From the Wanted-List now a rare record by ISM, Punk from Bayside/Queens, N.Y.C. and this is their first release S.I.N. Records. ISM was originally a concept by manager & producer Bob Sallese and lead singer Jism. Larry Ray (now deceased) was the official drummer but Greg D'Amgelo and Dave Miranda appeared on some records and play at some live gigs. They released two albums and the debut album 'A Diet For The Worms' is nowadays fuckin' rare and I never seen a copie elsewhere. Two goodies on this, chunky sound with nice keys. The title track of their second 7Inch was used for Killed By Death #4. So far so good, enjoy!

SPORTSMANN - Die Freiheit Des Pantoffeltierchens EP 1981

This rare piece of wax from Sportsmann was highly praised in all relevant media, because this self-produced and only world-famous EP is a catchy declaration of love to Ruth, which had an important position within a reasonable period of time. Three pieces that get under your skin; poetic, emotional, profound and understandable. Clear as a sky without clouds. A song was justifiably selected for the small compilation Killed By 7Inch #6. Bert Gossen (Salinos) retired to the band's rehearsal room for a week and recorded this EP, playin' all instruments and vocals. Superb record!

here

V/A - Killed By 7Inch #7 EP 2000

One more little KBD stuff with rare punkrock from 1979 - 1982, four bands = four goodies, needs no further useless words. Limited to 300 copies on thick black vinyl. And now. let's move to bed again because I have a fuckin' big hangover. Enjoy and Murks, this is for you!

Surprise - PURRKUR PILLNIKK

Circa 2 - THE LIMPS

Leikin Loppu - NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA

DANGEROUS PYJAMAS - Throwaway Kids EP 1982

Utrecht-based punk band with their only release, but exclusive trax can also be heard on the Onutrechtse Toestanden compilation from Rock Against Records which was recordrd live 1981 at Huis Verzetsfeest. I found this one on my hard drive so it's not my rip but this six song EP is one more fine dutch punk record. The single starts with a leisurely tempo, a little ska-oriented, worth mentioning the use of a saxophone which is always risky and makes me shiver but here excellent interspersed. In general, the songs are very varied and the last two cuts are fast and dirty and make clear: this is punk!, both tracks appear for good reason on the Killed By 7inch #8 EP. Dangerous Pyjamas done everything right and set a really good single in the world. Respect!

SEX PISTOLS - Silly Thing 7'' 1979

Regulars in my theater and I'm still fascinated by this music, and this for over forty years! There are a few bands that leave such a consistent level and such a lasting impression on me and when you consider that the Pistols only made one official album it speaks for itself, even today everyone knows their music (even the fucked up society) and the four don't need a star on the Walk Of Fame (the name alone makes me puke) which stands for commercial losers and means nothing at all. This beauty offers really two fantastic songs by the Sex Pistols and it was the third 7Inch released in promotion of the film The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle. Written by drummer Paul and guitarist Steve and recorded after the band's original lead singer left the band. The flip 'Who Killed Bambi?' was written and sung by Tenpole Tudor and is a brilliant one and I love his voice. The band is and will always be a global cultural phenomenon and push the Punk virus into innocent hearts.

DE VENERIAS - Monarki 7'' 2016

Today we visit Stockholm first, I think the following band came from there, at least both songs of this fantastic 7Inch were recorded there back in 1979. De Venerias consisted of Johnny (vocals), Leif (guitar), Claes (bass) and Peter (drums). Allow me to give you some infos from my favorite punksite swedishpunkfanzine here because, a) comes from the country, b) excellent archive and always worth a visit, c) all infos about this record in a nutshell, d) why write everything twice. "This is the Holy Grail!!!! The band could not afford to make a 7Inch release. However – they made sure that a test press was made as payment was not expected until the real records were presses. Quite smart, quite punk. Of the four testpresses one is for sure damaged when one of the members became Hare Krishna. Two records are with collectors and the last one… no one knows. 'Monarki' was on the Killed By Death #51 compilation. The rumor is that the B-side is even greater than the A-side but the owners are keeping the secret how the song sounds for themselves." Well, now you can find out for yourselfs because this rare sucker was re-released of course by Slyngel Rekords, the label for rare lost Swedish Punk Nuggets, in an edition of 300 copies on yellow vinyl. And if the words haven't convinced you yet, move your fat ass to bandcamp and turn to maximum volume and kill yourself.

VICTIM - The Teen Age EP 1980

Third and final 7Inch from Victim on Illuminated Records with three crackers. The band was founded mid 1977 in Belfast (relocated to Manchester in 1979) and soon they became familiar faces on the fast-emerging Belfast punk scene. On this record, produced by Rat Scabies, Wesley (vocals & bass), Joe (guitars) and Jeff (drums). Started as four piece they released two EP's in the late seventies. They toured a lot with renowned bands and a fourth single plus further demos were recorded but unfortunately never released and little of it is left and after undergoing several line-up changes, the band existed until 1990. But hope came when in 2003 Overground Records released a compilation of all of their early works and 2016 two more CD's came out with new and revised material of the late phase. Also guest on Bloodstains and Killed By Death #33. Great Stuff.

LOW BUDGET BAND - No More Military Forces 7'' 1981

Obscure Rockin' Punk Band from Kassel with their lone single. Mr.Austria send me the flip 'No Fashion' and I was immediately blast. Damn fat guitar '77 punk and this song sounds like Ramones at 16 RPM. So I check discogs for this and search the www for the a-side. Found it but the b-side is the winner (title track is not bad but a bit too rocky) so I ask my friend in Vienna and he sent the whole record with covers in. One thing is certain, this 7inch is not listed as a punk rock record and disappeared into obscurity but what the five people here celebrating is exceptionally hot shit. I would not hesitate to perpetuate this band on a Killed By Death sampler. Listen to it and be besotted by this dirty heavy grime sound.

THE BROMMERS - Defekt EP 1980

A fantastic 7inch in a brilliant KBD style and the only release as far as I know from the Brommers, Den Haag. 500 numbered copies on P.P.O.P. Records, different screen painted sleeve and a copy with lyrics inside. So yesterday I ripped the bootleg compilation Punkrock From Holland with tons of rare stuff and the Brommers with 'Fine Words' on it and I thought their EP is a nice post here. I check my hard drive and here it is. Don't know from which Blog I found this but that doesn't matter. Four tracks all fantastic, only the last hobbles a bit behind. I think I'm going to rip more records while recovering from my annoying cold. Let's see if I have more desire to post today, the main thing the coffee tastes. More compilations featuring the band Killed By Epitaph and The Hague '80 Live.

AEDI - Fratelli D'Italia 7'' 1977

Ok folks, here is a terrific record but in a bad quality. Rather not my way of posting such a scrap sound but maybe some of you have an excellent rip of this 7Inch for me, I would be very grateful, so my Italian friends, come over with the stuff. Aedi was a four piece from Milan I think and consisted of Renato (vocals/guitar), Luigi (guitars), Eliana (bass) and Valentino (drums). This is their only release on Polydor (a few promo copies comes with a band biography) with two nice dirty punk anthems. The flip was used for the splendid Killed By Death D'Italia compilation and that's where my info ends. So again, please send me a qualitative rip of this damn hot two-sided killer.
