COMMANDO 9MM - Commando 1990

Before football starts a visit a short visit to the Iberian peninsula. Their third album, simply titled Commando, was recorded in 1989 and come out at independent label called Tirana, owned by band manager Pito. In 1990, the CBS label was interested and published the same year the album with terrible consequences for the group, as Sony bought CBS and restructured the entire business, discarding everything that they were not interested. This album is currently out of print and very hard to find (discogs/ebay more than €140,-!!!!), because the record had a bad distribution. This fact and cause internal disagreements the band first split in 1991. This shows once more that the major labels are only profit oriented and thus the artist into a corner. Fuck Them!!! But apart from these asses Commando 9MM have ignited with their third longplayer another atomic bomb. Already their debut Amor Frenopatico from 1986 lit at first time, tiptop melodic mid-tempo punk rock as I like and always listen in my car... wonderfully soothing. As well here appear eleven more pearls in this direction which I like almost better. The sound is better by miles and the goodies sound more mature. 'Camino Hacia La Ruina', 'Annie, Annie', 'Cuidado Con Los Lunes' or 'Chica Medicinal', 'Mi Amigo Jack' are songs for eternity and while I write these lines the record goes through for the third time. 100% addictive, honest! If this music's not infect you, you are definitely disturbed. Would be interested what you think. Salut!

ESKORBUTO - Anti Todo 1985

More strong attitude and crude lyrics with the second album by Eskorbuto on Discos Suicidas and was Eskizofrenia rather rough and gruff is the quality of the production here significantly better. Eleven songs in thirty minutes, solid mid-tempo stuff, a bit Oi! influenced, in a word: excellent! Get more info and some re-ups of old files via the great split mini album Zona Especial Norte from 1984 with R.I.P. - So, let's see what vinyl I could rip next.

DESECHABLES - Maqueta 1982

First demo with nine killer tracks, released via Anarchi Records/Flor Y Nata Records. Desechables formed around 1980 in Vallirana, a village in the Barcelona suburbs where three friends got together to create one of Spain's most visceral and dirtiest primitive rock three pieces: Tere (screams), Miguel (guitar) and Dei Pei (snare and tom). In summer 1983 a few songs developed from the first sessions in which they played crazy versions of Lux ​​Interior and Poison Ivy, Jordi, Miguel and Tere play in the II Contest International Rock of Lyon. They share the stage with Killing Joke, among others. The experience turned out to be a success. So much so, that they were invited to continue playing in Paris and Rennes. Things were getting really good for them. So well, that the bad luck that was going to accompany them throughout their career, made his first and most devastating act of presence here. Just when they were preparing to record an LP at the legendary Rock Ola in Madrid - "Maqueta" + "La Oración" - Miguel died by trying to rob a jeweler with a toy gun, shot by the jeweler himself in Villafranca del Penedés, the band ceased to exist.

Fortunately, the following year saw the release of the album "Golpe Trás Golpe", which was put together using songs from the French live shows and a performance at the Radio Pop Festival 3. The back cover includes a drawing of the members of the group made by Miguel. Miguel is replaced on the guitar by Jordi's brother, Marcelo, who had not missed a rehearsal and played since 1984 with the group, Carlos also enters and they are established as a quartet. The band recorded at the end of December 1984 in the Rock Ola room "Buen Ser-Vicio" and the provocative cover does not leave anyone indifferent. Just when they began to overcome the situation again, bad luck knocked again at the door of the Catalans: an error in the pressing of the vinyls made the recording did not pick up the forcefulness and harshness of that concert. In any case, the first editions sold out quickly.

In 1986 Desechables released "Nada Que Entender" but it would not be released until the following year and was preceded by the single "Ábreme". The single anticipated what was to come: a good production work but that perhaps too much smoothed the characteristic pointy sound of the quartet. It is here when providence intervenes once more; the disc hardly had distribution and as much Tere as the rest feel that their race does not finish taking off. In 1987 an important change takes place: Jack enters like bassist and Altolaguirre becomes definitive member of the group, although shortly after he undertakes his personal project Ángel and Las Güais and is replaced by Raúl. That same year they recorded the album "Amor Pirata", but it was too late. Just at the time when Desechables began enter the radio stations and have some fame, the band disintegrates. They would do so after their performance at the KGB in Barcelona, ​​on November 17, 1988. Represented on numerous compilations, here are some of them: Bloodstains Across Spain and Viva La Punk!I think a good start into the weekend!

P.V.P. - Las Reglas Del Juego 1984

Two years after the great debut Miedo P.V.P. released their the second album via 21 Records and the nine songs are more mature and you can clearly feel the advancement that now end up in mostly four minutes tracks, partly also very poppy. I must admit, I sometimes miss the aggressiveness and harshness of the earlier recordings and not all's my taste. Anyway, suitable for pajama parties, beach evenings, a nice evening for two or housework.
