Rai Ko Ris - Himalayan Frostbite (BatAttack Records 2003)

Nepal’s preeminent punk band. “Nepal??” you ask. Yep…Nepal. Land of the Himalayas, the Yeti, and some of the ass kickingest punk rock around. This is Nepal’s first full vinyl release. While the legendary Luk Haas has released some splits from Nepal on his Tian An Men 89 Records this is the first sole release. This record was released in a first pressing of 500 copies with 150 on colored vinyl.

Toxic Reasons - War Hero (Banit Records) 1980

Toxic Reasons were from Dayton, Ohio. This is their first record, recorded in January 1980. They released one other single (Ghost Town), and an LP (Independence) before dumping their lead singer (Ed Pittman) and moving to San Francisco, where they made a bunch of other records.

I’ve never understood why they dropped Ed Pittman. I never saw him perform with the band, but I met him a few times at the Jockey Club in Newport KY in the early 1980’s and he must have been one hell of a frontman. He was a huge, imposing guy, and from the sound of these early records, a great singer also.

This record is great, but it has always cracked me up somewhat that a bunch of guys from Dayton, OH decided to sing with British accents on their record. How quickly we US punks forgot that punk started in New York City and Cleveland, etc., not the UK.

Never before released track from the War Hero’s recoding sessions, Thanks to Joel of Toxic Reasons for sending this one to 7inchpunk!

heimat-lös - negative mental obsession (auto da fé, 1988)

Here’s a great ep from the mighty Heïmat-Los. It’s their classic brand of hyper-fast and melodic hardcore. The sleeve says it was recorded and mixed by Star Gouize at Studio Campus in Jan/Feb ‘88 and the piano on “negative mental obsession” was played by Patrice Michel.

Some may remember the 1st Stakanov ss e.p. that i posted a few years ago . Here’s a poster i found recently; it’s from their early debuts in 1980.

Beyond Possession - Tell Tale Heart

*Taken from Oct. 5, 2006 post*

This has got to be one of the best singles to ever come outta canada, great skater style hardcore. Lyric sheet and flyer with the “no label” pressing. Another version in 1991 on Fango records (address covered by a sticker that says “Chikara”) that’s said to be an original as well; cover is black & white (the other one has the title printed in red ink); different back cover / labels / lyric sheet, also the last track (dying fast) is missing. Sound quality is as good as the other version’s, so I guess it’s no bootleg (or at least very well made).

Tracks

what’s the matter
skater’s life

Confuse- Contempt for Authority and Take off the Lie

“1985 saw Confuse record another 7″ EP of material and the sound here is much cleaner and sharper than any other releases - dare I say poppy? Contempt for the Authority and Take off the Lie is catchy and bouncy as hell and almost unrecognizable from the last record. I suspect the influence of the Swankys’ switch to their more ‘77 sound from Gai’s full out Disorder noise attack was partially to blame for this. This is still a really good record by the way!” - Kill from the heart web page
