One of the best bands in Japanese Hardcore Punk, a band with an unbelievably good reputation and they are still together!<br /><br />The tracks here are taken from a comp called City Rockers released in 1982, and it was the first stuff Gauze ever recorded. Oddly, I hear the other bands on this comp were crappy new-wave outfits. As this is the earliest stuff Gauze put out, it is quite a bit different to the rest of their releases. What you hear here is a more primitive, traditional form of hardcore punk, more similar to early Discharge or Stalin than their frantic later output.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sharebee.com/ee01ca43"><span style="font-weight: bold;">GO GET IT!</span></a><br /><br /><br />Watch out for Gauze's new release coming this December!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-25074199878133084722007-11-19T02:59:00.000-08:002008-12-10T21:36:13.607-08:00G.I.S.M. - Human Condition Bootleg LP<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIPeFMjykbWtWSV61wb2e1_MddIJPAGzvmpri68BCNf8L6ZHYPpWwp62tCGWd3_IdJfcEj51IGEKFOqXdrujyaRwXa16FNmAfFN3DeULCYLNI5b9zPUnRqz9Xn0wmx76x8B-0d/s1600-h/Gizm+Human+Condition+cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIPeFMjykbWtWSV61wb2e1_MddIJPAGzvmpri68BCNf8L6ZHYPpWwp62tCGWd3_IdJfcEj51IGEKFOqXdrujyaRwXa16FNmAfFN3DeULCYLNI5b9zPUnRqz9Xn0wmx76x8B-0d/s320/Gizm+Human+Condition+cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134504871045327042" border="0" /></a><br />Here is something for G.I.S.M. fans.

Combines all compilations tracks with listenable unreleased live stuff and come in great packaging, cool sleeve and 8 page booklet with full release info, sleeves, reviews etc. Amazing amount off effort has gone into this. Not sure how many copies of these are around, but its certainly not as rare as the other bootleg, so it shouldnt be too hard too find and its the best starting of any Gism collection (unless you´d wanna hunt down the originals ofcourse :-).

This one collects all the stuff Masturbation ever put out.<br /><br />I listened to it quite recently thinking it was an LP of the band, I can't remember much except for the fact that I enjoyed it!<br /><br />Has a sleazy hard-edged punk sound, which I found very appealing. Also fans of other ADK releases will instantly recognize the famous Tam "Hard Punk" production.<br /><br />Unfortunately I know hardly anything about this band, But I heard somewhere that the bassist went on to play for Kikeiji.<br /><br />I also read in an issue of MRR that the band were exibitionists, this could be referring to their live show though, I read on a Japanese site that the singer would do such things as cutting himself open at gigs, Which sounds like Iggy Pop or Sid Vicious. Maybe the singer would even live up to the band's name and have a wank on stage? Wouldn't be suprised.<br /><br />In fact, this album kind of reminds me of The Stooges. Especially the riff on track 4. An influence? Probably, who knows?<br /><br />Good band.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sharebee.com/826c9b4d">GO GET IT!</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-60732657720668730072007-09-26T23:38:00.001-07:002007-09-26T23:55:27.887-07:00Anarchy - S/T (1980)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.anarchy.co.jp/images/discography/anarchy_cd/l_image/a2120.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.anarchy.co.jp/images/discography/anarchy_cd/l_image/a2120.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Sorry about the lack of updates, haven't had much access to the computer due to my arsehole of a brother, and I have been quite busy with some other things, this should change soon though. Dirk was planning on uploading this, so here it is.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Despite this band seemingly being quite popular, I don't have much info sorry. I know that they called the band Anarchy because of Anarchy In The UK, and at concerts they and the fans would wear the workers uniforms that the singers father used to wear. The band also had anti-imperialistic lyrics at concerts, but had to change them if they wanted the songs to get on record.<br /><br />If I am being completely honest, and this may get me into trouble, I am not a fan of this band. They seem to be one of those wannabe british/sex pistols Japanese punk bands, like Star Club. And this album mainly consists of bad covers of good songs by The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, and so on. Also I won't bother going into the tantrum they threw when they weren't included in the film Burst City, they even started a childish feud with The Stalin over it.<br /><br />But I know some of you like this band, or may like this band.

The Screamers are widely cited as the pioneers of a genre now known as "synthpunk," and might also be classifeid as art punk. The Screamers were notable for their unusual instrumentation, featuring electric piano and synthesizer, while omitting guitars. Additional musicians, including violinists and a female vocalist, were occasionally incorporated into their performances.<br /><br />The group featured a highly developed theatrical presentation that centered around a manic lead vocalist, Tomata du Plenty, whose stage persona one early commentator described as "a psychotic Mickey Rooney."<br /><br />Though they developed a substantial following and generated considerable press coverage, the Screamers never released a record. In the Don Letts-directed documentary Punk: Attitude (2005) singer Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys cited the Screamers as a key influence on his group, and as one of the great unrecorded groups in rock history, sentiment echoed by Brendan Mullen, who ran the punk club The Masque.<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screamers">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screamers</a> </span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.transfer.ro/storage/screamers_-_demos_1977-78_lp.rar">go get it</a><br /></div>Dirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-61398865761584192572007-07-20T11:18:00.000-07:002007-07-20T11:48:35.677-07:00Die You Bastard!-Zenshin Zenrei (2003) @320 kbits<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.geocities.jp/dieyoubastard1994/w_004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.geocities.jp/dieyoubastard1994/w_004.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />First full lenght album(+'98 Demo) by blast beat freaks Die You Bastard!<br />wich has the Ironfist from G.I.S.M as a drummer<br />fuckin' brutal stuff<br /><br /><a href="http://www.transfer.ro/storage/Zenshin_Zenrei_CDM.rar">go get it!</a><br /></div>Dirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-12427734559501926912007-07-15T10:28:00.000-07:002008-12-10T21:36:14.839-08:00MRR Zine Archive<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8aniH43GJhnXAd8-7EmAIKvx-DxXJXiJU26quV4xaysbVkd6VUMldkzpUdAs31rofPzvPz-pWJGdMxMQvzP2TWnZtWAhOkFyFGRfg6UB60GQMk_pnRxaoMAEHr_0a9ovPKWV/s1600-h/untitled.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8aniH43GJhnXAd8-7EmAIKvx-DxXJXiJU26quV4xaysbVkd6VUMldkzpUdAs31rofPzvPz-pWJGdMxMQvzP2TWnZtWAhOkFyFGRfg6UB60GQMk_pnRxaoMAEHr_0a9ovPKWV/s200/untitled.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087479010387722370" border="0" /></a><br />Would just like to point you towards a website I found recently that has scans of most of the old issues of the american punk zine Maximum rocknroll.<br /><br />This zine had a Japanese scene report full of good information starting around issue 10.<br /><br />There are also interviews with many Japanese punk bands such as The Stalin, Aburadako, The Execute, and so on.<br /><br />And you can find reviews of Japanese records in the reviews section of the mag.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.operationphoenixrecords.com/archivespage.html">http://www.operationphoenixrecords.com/archivespage.html</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-41063282343153688422007-07-11T09:26:00.000-07:002007-07-11T09:40:46.973-07:00G-ZET - Discography CD<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://dr-blog.asiandrug.jp/archives/G-ZET.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://dr-blog.asiandrug.jp/archives/G-ZET.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Here is some more ADK stuff for you, This time G-Zet. I believe this CD was released by OK Records and contains everything G-Zet ever recorded, Also between songs there are snippets from an interview with Tam, In Japanese of course.<br /><br />G-Zet was a band formed by ADK Boss and Ex-The Stalin guitarist Tam. He played guitar and quite a few of their songs were instrumentals. They did have various vocalists on some tracks and at gigs, including a female vocalist.<br /><br />I heard they later changed their name to Bradbury, and while they were on tour Tam famously went missing. It is believed he went into hiding because of debts he owed, but nobody is too sure. Some said he was killed by Yakuza and his corpse thrown into a volcano, but that sounds ridiculous. Michiro Endo told my friend that Tam died of a drug overdose, But recently there has apparently been some sightings of Tam by Japanese punk fans. will we ever know the truth?<br /><br /><a href="http://sharebee.com/cc32811a">GO GET IT!</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-29002686543019560872007-07-05T02:23:00.001-07:002008-12-10T21:36:15.242-08:00ADK Omnibus Vol.1 + Vol.2<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qI4ipoc368CaAfd4rkmqlH1Y2ZwsLt-TIuR1CnV9gZQoneI9O-CePcl4HpHhaM6IYlVhHW8kKd9Fptr5ByjMEiet4DvgsrnpnbVbvzNic5wF1zudBT6CTTgoLSctnWK9vLNx/s1600-h/adkomni1.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1qI4ipoc368CaAfd4rkmqlH1Y2ZwsLt-TIuR1CnV9gZQoneI9O-CePcl4HpHhaM6IYlVhHW8kKd9Fptr5ByjMEiet4DvgsrnpnbVbvzNic5wF1zudBT6CTTgoLSctnWK9vLNx/s320/adkomni1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083641084993333346" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfxO4U7SWjxhkDo25SJxDNsm2sVQ3RSjRZHS98Vo19Ubd7q1aj4VsYmiX87wQqqm4mkX_3gZEdiPLoSxHIoxhMIP8EQTi8kM9R4Dtv-jk3s63_xTjQRpE5cYO_7MRQxO1Ubt-/s1600-h/neo+punk+disorderly+%E3%83%BBadk+omnibus+vol.+2-comp+7%27%27.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfxO4U7SWjxhkDo25SJxDNsm2sVQ3RSjRZHS98Vo19Ubd7q1aj4VsYmiX87wQqqm4mkX_3gZEdiPLoSxHIoxhMIP8EQTi8kM9R4Dtv-jk3s63_xTjQRpE5cYO_7MRQxO1Ubt-/s320/neo+punk+disorderly+%E3%83%BBadk+omnibus+vol.+2-comp+7%27%27.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083641149417842802" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">2 Comps released in 1983 by Tam's Legendary punk label ADK, Featuring bands who were on the label at the time.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ADK Omnibus Vol.1<br /></span>Sodom<br />Sekinintenka<br />Kain<br />Gadisu<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ADK Omnibus Vol. 2<br /></span>Gabell<br />Molugu<br />Glycerin<br />Gasatsu Crime Fighter<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><a href="http://sharebee.com/5c93e994">GO GET IT!</a><br /><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com68tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-692158984917283842007-07-04T15:48:00.000-07:002008-12-10T21:36:15.488-08:00Vacation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnDyo6vTQ5LXqAH1hkr4DolwOBuwkhpqkNETnygB6Eul5ML7i-0B-3cA0hVl_2UsYjTp2IqTP_7FZzDB6IcjZJBQY1pssQ-hTK2d2EqH6Wrz4srbXEybN59j7Yln3PyGBfU43n/s1600-h/shock_vacation_front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnDyo6vTQ5LXqAH1hkr4DolwOBuwkhpqkNETnygB6Eul5ML7i-0B-3cA0hVl_2UsYjTp2IqTP_7FZzDB6IcjZJBQY1pssQ-hTK2d2EqH6Wrz4srbXEybN59j7Yln3PyGBfU43n/s320/shock_vacation_front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083480821550974434" border="0" /></a><br />i will be on a two week vacation<br /><div style="text-align: left;">read more about it at my other <a href="http://citiesonflamewithrockandroll.blogspot.com/2007/07/chemo-cure-and-then-going-on-vacation.html">blog</a><br /><br />in the time im gone Daniel will be posting on the punk blog once or twice a week<br />because now this(fight against the plutocrats) is partially also his blog<br /><br /><br />Greetings Dirk<br /></div>Dirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-31395558143149798192007-07-01T12:21:00.000-07:002007-07-01T13:10:38.043-07:00Paintbox-Singing, Shouting, Crying<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/paintbox/singing_shouting_crying/"><img style="width: 265px; height: 211px;" src="http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s105169.jpg" alt="<span class=" error="" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">1999 Japan Hardcore w/ guitarist of death side<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" >another favourite of mine<br /><br />while the vocalist & bassist? currently are in Forward<br />the guitarist of death side currently is in Paintbox<br /><br />this is their first full length record<br /><br />a review <span class="bodytext"><br />Not to be confused with the Toronto indie rock band of the same name, this Japanese outfit is here to steamroll your senses. Playing fast and hard, they sound like a blend of old school hardcore meets Motörhead and old Iron Maiden with a bit of Avail thrown in for good melodic measure. Sound intriguing? You bet it is. And it’s damn good as well. Musical competence can generally be the downfall of many hardcore bands, given the built-in limits of the sound, but not in the case of Paintbox. Paintbox use everything they’ve got to craft an aural assault that you won’t soon forget, no matter how jaded you are.

Unlike World Burns to Death who throw in some Japanese influences in places and Disclose who are so faithful to the Discharge aesthetic to at times border on parody, Framtid's music is straight up crust punk done EXACTLY like it should be done. In a word, it is definitive, from the distorted guitars to the driving d-beat rhythms to the homogenous song structures to the black and white, cut-and-paste artwork.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sharebee.com/74d3acda">go fucking get it!</a><br /></div>Dirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com47tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-29924157241927640792007-06-28T08:18:00.000-07:002007-06-28T08:46:17.074-07:00G.I.S.M.--Live Tokyo 1982-1983<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i13.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/a7/13/8e16_1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i13.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/a7/13/8e16_1.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Live G.I.S.M bootleg,soundquality varies<br />a must have for any G.I.S.M collector<br /><br /><br />A Review i found:<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;" >Side one's April 1982 gig is, of course, unspeakably raw and noisy, but the vocals are relatively clear, the drums audible and the guitars provide a steady churn of barely-structured rushing thrash and feedback that, while nowhere near so sophisticated or metallic as the band would become when late guitarist Randy Uchida joined soon after, is powerful and anguished. Recorded just five or six months after their November '81 debut and five months before the set partially captured on the seminal "Outsider" comp LP, it's probably a bit foolish to make any firm assessments of influence and inspiration based on such rough recordings, but I would nonetheless be surprised if the band weren't listening to an awful lot of very early UK hardcore at this stage. The speed and snarled vocals are much more suggestive of Discharge, Disorder and Chaos UK than of traditional '70's punk or even the better-known contemporary American hardcore, and the likelihood of likeminded Finnish, Swedish or Italian bands being widely heard in Japan at this stage seems slim (feel free to correct me if you know otherwise, because the possibilities are intriguing).<br />The second side was recorded some time in 1983, and the sound is marginally better (similar to the much-maligned live material on Negative Approach's "Total Recall", which I think sounds great). The sound has already progressed considerably, with the songs generally tighter and faster, and most importantly, Uchida's guitar thrashing out the serious riffing and wild leadwork that would soon become Japcore's defining components. It's less historically important than the first set, perhaps, but it's a great listen if you're a GISM freak and probably completely unlistenable to just about anyone else...consider yourself warned.<br /><br /><a href="http://sharebee.com/5a639f18">go get it!</a><br /></span></span>Dirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-36364498616570095302007-06-27T21:02:00.000-07:002007-06-27T21:47:27.632-07:00Kyah - DiscographyHello i'm the new team member Dan.<br /><br />Here is every release by the 80's Japanese girl punk band Kyah, It includes;<br /><br />1st 7" (1984)<br />Slapdash EP (1985)<br />Rebel Point 12" EP (1986)<br />Dear Mr. Mini LP (1988)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/3959/kya1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/3959/kya1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />"<a name="kya1">A female punk rock group made of four girls.

It was composed of vocalist Sakevi Yokoyama(real name Shigehisa. "Sakevi" being a corrupted "sakebi" - a shout, or scream of "MURDER!"), guitarist Randy Uchida, bassist Kannon(sometimes known as "Cloudy", later replaced by Kiichi Takahashi in the 90's), and drummer Monamour Hiroshima(replaced by Ironfist Tatsushima around the same time Kannon threw in the towel). GISM often used heavy metal style guitar solos and riffs, while at the same time drawing much influence from the early industrial/avant-garde music scene...something extremely uncommon in punk bands at that time. <p>GISM was widely known for the extreme violence present in their lyrics, and live shows. Sakevi would often march about the stage clad in a balaclava and covered with bullets, waving lit flares in audience members faces, throwing microphone stands, rocks, and attacking concert goers as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> footage was projected behind him. Onstage he would go as far as to attack photographers who took pictures of him and chase audiences with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamethrower" title="Flamethrower">flamethrower</a>.</p> <p>GISM has attained a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_band" title="Cult band">cult status</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_punk" title="Hardcore punk">hardcore punk</a> scene, probably due to their violent attitude and bizarre artworks/performances,coupled with the legends surrounding them.</p> <p>The acronym GISM has never had a constant meaning attached to it. Variations include God In The Schizoid Mind, Guerilla Incendiary Sabotage Mutineer, General Imperialism Social Murder and Gnostic Idiosyncracy Sonic Militant.</p> <p>Randy Uchida passed on in Feb 10th 2001 due to cancer, Sakevi continued to contribute his unique brand <b>stlTH®</b> of collage art to the world, and started his own line of t-shirts. Ironfist Tatushima went on to play in the bands <b>Die You Bastard!</b> and <b>Crow</b> which he had been playing with before he joined G.I.S.M.</p><br /><p>[wikipedia]</p><p>password:fight</p><a href="http://www.transfer.ro/storage/detestation__remaster___enhanced_audio_.rar"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:85%;" >get it (new link)</span></a><br />do leave commentsDirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099322801779010259noreply@blogger.com90tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29168061.post-1151773979150468822007-06-17T15:30:00.000-07:002007-06-17T15:30:07.749-07:00Nightmare-Give Notice Of Nightmare['89 Japan Hardcore Punk]F''ckin great brutal hardcore !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Highly Recommended!</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">and leave a comment please</span><br /><br /><br /><br />Hardest.
