According to the Punk Rock Rarities CD, as a publicity stunt Embryo kidnapped that utterly objectionable DJ Mike Reed, who played the song several times. It didn't help it sell many copies, though, and in mid-1981 they changed their name to Jump Squad. This is a valuable insight into some of the more obscure yet extremely important underground punk of the late '70s...

Inspired by the initial rush of punk, Surrey's The Members soon expanded their musical palette to include elements of ska and reggae with a particularly British twist. Mining similar territory to artists like Ian Dury, XTC and Squeeze, listeners interested in well-crafted, but quirky British rock will find much to enjoy here...

Journeys to Glory is the first studio album by Spandau Ballet. One reviewer describes the recordings as "completely unforgettable" and Hadley's semi-operatic vocals as "really strong" and demonstrating a "willingness to experiment"...

Philadelphia's punk rock finest band! Started in 1977, the band was really popular at the 'The Hot Club', one of the main punk venues in USA. They had a punk ethos, but laced with a potent pop mentality and a big sense of pure theatricality that reminded one of suck disparate outfits as Sparks, The Weirdos, Lance Loud's Mumps and The Dickies, not to mention The Monkees! Unfortunately the band recorded only one acetate and few studio tracks that you can find in this anthology that contains the best production of their unlucky career!
01 Antisocial Disease 02 Sleeping With The Dead 03 Street Kids 04 Bondage Boy
Named after a track on Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" album, this West London punk outfit with female vocals, on the 29th of September, 1977 at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge recorded four original songs that ended on this EP. This is their only release...

The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower was a four-piece punk/noise band from San Diego, California, that formed in 2001. Here they face you with a 23 minute LP of pure, angry-punk, spazzy-hardcore noise, and it hurts. Devoid of melody, harmony or recognisable sound, this is a slab of fuzzy pain meant only for the kids in school who were repeatedly reprimanded in the isolation unit for having ‘learning difficulties and attention span problems'. Read - psychosis and foam-mouthed violent outbursts...

When Glen Matlock (who probably wrote most of the Sex Pistols' best songs) was kicked out of The Sex Pistols he formed a power pop band called Rich Kids. The band also included future Ultravox member Midge Ure, and Rusty Egan, who later went to found Visage. They only put out one album, but it's a kick-ass one!

The Carpettes formed in the spring of 1977 in Newcastle upon Tyne, released two amazing and highly collectable punk singles How About Me And You? And Small Wonder for Small Wonder Records, before moving to London and signing to Beggars Banquet. Highly charged frantic and furious affairs, demonstrating The Carpettes to be one of the fastest and finest bands from the early punk era....

The Aquabats: A Ska rollercoater collision of The B-52's, Devo and DC Comics all rolled into one. The Aquabats have a style unlike any others. They have an excellent sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously. Addictively fun!

Sometimes, in punk rock, a single band will do something completely different from the norm. Even In Blackouts is one of them. Zeitgeist's Echo has all the speed and energy of any punk rock band, but with the folkiness and pretty melodies common in acoustic arrangements. The quintet's lead female vocals are sweetly well-done, and compliment the thrashing but rhythmic acoustics perfectly...
01 Wir Wollen Keine Bullenschweine 02 Iran 03 Hey Punk 04 Ich Hasse
One of the most controversial Punk bands ever and certainly the most censored one in Germany. Slime had a huge following during the 80s and in a way delivered the soundtrack to those riotous years. They are often considered to be the prototypical German punk or deutschpunk band. This is their debut EP...

The First And The Last is a collection of recordings from the various shows the band played along the East Coast of Australia in 1981. The "once-only" supergroup band New Race contained members of the band Radio Birdman, Deniz Tek, Rob Younger, and Warwick Gilbert, along with guitarist from The Stooges, Ron Asheton, and MC5 drummer Dennis Thompson. The First And The Last has often been hailed as one of the greatest live punk rock albums of all time, though there is dispute as to the true genre of the album...
01 Train To Nowhere 02 Run Down Dive 03 V-12 Ford 04 Vegas 05 Blazing Haley 06 Sleeper 07 Only A Woman To Me 08 Clambake 09 Back For No Good Reason 10 End Of The Line
This is Blazing Haley's debut album, self-released in January 1999 (distributed worldwide by Hepcat Records, Amazon, and CDNow, etc.). It has received consistent national acclaim. Kick ass rockabilly, psychobilly, or roots rock and roll with a sense of humor that seriously rocks!

The Lillingtons came from the unlikely cowtown of Newcastle, Wyoming. There's no Second Avenue in Newcastle, and no chicken vindaloo either. Escaping the town of Newcastle by way of music has made the Lillingtons "the greatest band I've heard since the Queers" as said by Ben Weasel, and "The Backchannel Broadcast" makes that evident to everyone...

This Is Your Life was not an important album - it launched nothing, ended nothing. It was entertaining as hell, however, hammerblowing off with tight little riffs and assimilating punk's often mislabeled joyful distrust of everything around it. This Is Your Life was the unquestionable high point of the Adicts' early career...

The Testors were punk rock in the truest sense. Unlike their counterparts in the late 1970s, Testors never went with a major label. Swami Records' decision to collect these lost treasures for the Complete Recordings 1976-79 release finally puts the band where they belong: out of the rock & roll gutter and into the scene of those who made punk rock what it was...

Los Carayos was a French band which released four albums between 1986 and 1994. They were active mostly in Paris in the mid-1980s, but side interests of the musicians, notably of Manu Chao, did not allow the band to take off. Their songs were largely of a parodic style, mixing rockabilly, punk, blues, and various genres of folk from throughout the world, especially country, and latin music...
