BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME MEOW MEOW

“Crazy” – Jo2, Exithippies

“What the fuck is going on here? Members of Vi-Vi Punx/Extintos playing retardo punk with saxophones? Too fucking right!” – Conner, Pogo Punx records

“If Extintos were Deathside, then Sun Children Sun is most certainly Paintbox” – Cornor, The InjEctioNs

“There is all sorts of influences being thrown about in this 11 track demo, and it's really quite difficult to put a finger on what to describe this as. At times it reminds me of Traitor from Japan with the tribal-esque drums over punk which then breaks down into almost hip hop style drum beats, all with jazzy saxophone all over the place. It really is quite the earful and definitely worth a listen. There's a part in the second to last song where they break into Richie Valens' La Bamba and when I heard that I immediately thought, I love this demo!” 

– Flower Dubson, in a review of CD-R version

SUN CHILDREN SUN released this recording as a CD-R demo on 17 September 2011. I instantly loved it. So much I had to interview the band for More Noize Zine, and this ended up in More Noize #8 (late spring 2012). In the interview I asked Take, the singer, what the songs were about. This is what he had to say:

Dolce  - I hate speed junkies! Holy City - Fuck off SOKA religion! FUNK – I love James Brown! Babylon Grainder - It's us! We are babylon grinders!! 1234 - Punk is now - not past and future!! AntiPizzaPrice - This is about funny stupid things. We were ordering large size pizza to share and eat because we really love pizza… But it is so expensive in Japan. So we keep sing about this song until pizza becomes cheaper!! (No serious!!). Reggae - Everybody has to smoke weed and dance! Flower - Grandfather cut my grow plants last year shit... But this song is not about weed! I've growing some other vegetables too!! Vacacion – Good memory of youth and how everything is shit now… Rabanba – White-collar work is disgusting… Palestine – This song is about Palestine problems…”

Now available for those with an averision to optical discs, MORE NOIZE RECORDS presents this 7” EP full repress of the CD-R demo in co-operation with SPHC over in the Americas. SPHC boss Dan is a very gentle giant as well as a very good friend, with extraordinary good taste in music, so this release was always a no-brainer.

2012: The Year Punk Broke... Arse.

Crazy Spirit were not good enough to be on this list. Losers. Photo by HATED TV

This one is for the Tumbler punks. And for the Terminal Boredoms of this world. 

The world comes to an end day after tomorrow (Friday 21 December 2012), or so the internets tell me the Mayans thought, so I am presenting My Top 10 of 2012 here directly. 

If the internets and the Mayans are wrong, this will also be in the Feb 2013 issue of MRR. 

But don't tell anyone.


MORE NOIZE CHARADE: TOP 2012 DIY PUNK & HARDCORE RECORDS

Gangster Punk – Yellow Legs LP

This psyche garage raw punk band from the north of Finland seemingly came out of nowhere in 2012, but actually it turns out the band has been around since 2010. The three-piece, which started as a four-piece, has so far self-released a demo which shows a lot of promise of what to come and two sevens inches (both on Florida label Defence records). Stepping up to the plate, this full length album was recorded and released this year. It was the first I had heard of the band and it rocks!

Unko – Utopian Roads 7”

Japanese hardcore band, very little is known about them, this EP was self-released. I like it lots! Sounds at turns like Gauze and Tragedy.

Nurastism – First Draft Demo Tape

Swedish hardcore band with roots in black metal. Odd mixture but I like it. A-side is particularly good, with 15 short but sweet shockers of Scandinavian hardcore that we all love so much. Think a mix between Discharge and Anti-Cimex. B-side was a letdown with only 10 songs, but in the same vein. Sadly limited to 50 copies, I heard the band is talking to a big Swedish label about releasing a 7” in 2013. Look forward to that!

Nanocore – Lathe CD-R

Grind core band from Columbia played by boys and girls with peaked caps and tattoos! Not a genre I am usually very interested in but this is too extreme! Some of you will know my preference for home-made and self-released records like this, on the flipside this is a band that deserves to be heard by the masses so someone should chase down these cats and offer them a record contract, a Euro and US tour with lots of merchandise!

Antidogmine – Gastro Humans Flexi

A real abrasive, guitar-heavy mid-tempo punk record. The title song, which they've borrowed from a newspaper headline, concerns a cannibalistic ritual in Singapore and has an amazingly cool Polish hardcore flavored guitar bridge. Real hot! The other cuts are more typical.

Rolland’s Kulspruta – Demo

Eighteen previously recorded songs that range from '77-style punk to thrash to current punk to Oi. The quality of the material and sound varies, but most of it is absurdly predictable. I like this band a lot, but there certainly aren't any classics here.

Sons of Disco – Never Play With Water LP

Brandishing additive progressive-rock, post-hardcore and retro electronic sounds since their 2011 double single ‘Never Play With Oxygen’ the band are now back with their highly anticipated debut, showing how relevant they are in today’s music scene.

Sinking Stones – War in the Finland 7”

Filled with classic hooks and some impressionable vocals, Sinking Stones from Germany make for a positive first impression.  One of their biggest strengths surfaces with opening track, “This Is Why We Can’t Have Bad Things,” and carries the album in style.

Omen’s Left Hand Crook – Satanist Attack 12”

The LP finishes on a song of low deep singing which nearly seems to be like chanting with guitar picking and the sound of what I think is a fire which I think blends well with art depictions of ancient death on the LP. Really love every aspect of this LP.

Nogger – Icecream is forever Tape

Great old school noisecore with very little of musical influences. Sometimes they start with punky midpaced tempo, but within seconds it erupts to full blast. Two vocalists deal with the growls and screams, and drummer keeps up tempo what doesn't lost to Blondie or other fames. Sound is excellent and raw, in Brazilian tradition. Each of the songs include lyrics, with comments of decaying society.

Three new records you should buy

I wrote some promotional words for three new records, all three are on my top 2012 list, needlesstosay, here's two of the texts I wrote (the middle one wasn't by me afterall, must have smoked crack this morning).

ISTERISMO - Folia Verso L’interno MLP

"Belonging to the generation of Japanese kids that started bands in the early 2000s inspired by the legends of Japanese 1990s hardcore punk such as Gloom, Disclose, CFDL and Frigöra, Isterismo is today one of the most important contemporary Japanese hardcore punk bands and one that continues to firmly put Japan at the very top of the worlds hardcore punk scenes. As always, Isterismo remain at the forefront of the contemporary Japanese raw noise hardcore scene along with peers Zyanose and D-Clone. Isterismo’s unique blend of noise is no doubt indebted to the older statesmen Gloom who lead Japan’s 1990s raw noise crasher scene mixed with a healthy fascination for classics of Italian hardcore, notably the loud message of ‘chaos non musica’ from Italian anarchists Wretched. In 2012, Isterismo is no longer the young upstarts of Tokyo hardcore punk scene that they were once coming up, but after a number of important records and regular gigs at home as well as abroad, today Isterismo is an established, hardened and mature band. The timing of the new Isterismo record, a 12” mini LP co-released by La Vida Es Un Mus and Crust War, is absolutely perfect.

In what will surely be remembered as their defining record, Folia Verso L’interno starts with the longest and slowest song of the record which like the calm before the storm builds up for the sounds of the nuclear destruction that follows. Spanning the best part of ten minutes, split by five tracks on each side of the record, consisting of minute long bursts of violent, chaotic and disordered eruptions of anguish, anger and pure unadulterated loudness!

Sound production of this new record is absolutely great! Despite the thick wall of Isterismo’s violent, chaotic and above all loud assault on all the senses, every instrument can perfectly be heard in the mix! While this may be the loudest Isterismo record so far—and likely one of the loudest records ever—it's paradoxically Isterismo’s most accessible record to date. Above all, it is with this new release that Isterismo come into their own sound and style, making all cheap references to other bands entirely redundant.

The one word that best describes this recording is not noise, as many may expect, but finesse. You will hear finesse in the expert guitar play, with subtle solos and riffage hidden in the high distortion and messy chaos, drum rolls are complex while the bass guitar is crisp and loud. For sure, this is the most important Japanese hardcore punk LP since the Kriegshög LP."

Chaos Channel - (Magic Bullet) That Works to Feed the Pig 7" EP

"You probably remember Chaos CH from their two classic 7"s on Overthrow Records, displaying a clear mastery of "noise punk" and becoming a textbook example for other bands to copy and take influence from.

However, returning as Chaos Channel, they have moved beyond the boundaries and limitations of that terminology to create a uniquely new style of 'noise and dance'.

And there's nothing we love more at SPHC than bands with their own unique sense of identity beyond genre exercising and copying.

Chaos Channel - How You’d Never Been So High? (But Then You’d Never Needed To Be?) CD from 2010 is possibly the best noisy punk record of our times, a really fresh and exciting take on a style they already mastered years ago. And this 7" single continues with these ideas. A meticulous recording of super catchy riffs fit into a bizarre and chaotic sense of songwriting and arrangements, with No. 6's instantly recognizable vocals belting out lyrics that border between absurd nonsense and high-art genius.

Overall a totally unique punk rock experience for pogo and flight."

Boobs $hit - Fuckin' Brain Boobs $hit!! 7" EP (Pogo Punx Records 003)

"Believe it or not, but for years a whispering campaign have been growing around myths of Japanese punk band BOOBS $HIT, fuelled by eyewitness accounts that portrayed the band as the most far-out and over-the-top chaotic and messy pogo punk band from Tokyo’s punk scene around the turn of millennium.

BOOBS $HIT was made up of a bunch of twenty year old studded drunk punx that for a very brief period caused chaos, pogo and disorder alongside other more “famous” bands like The Disclapties, Tom And The Boot Boys, Stagnation, 4 Spikes and Varaus S.S.

Like a gob in the face of an apathetic straight world, BOOBS $HIT recorded a cassette tape and a CD-R as well as a rare compilation appearance. Like the Geranium CD-R, the BOOBS $HIT demo tape sound sort of like a punk band doing their best to be heard despite the sonic onslaught of a jet engine (but actually it’s not a jet engine, of course, it’s the distortion of the guitar!) Aside from this obscure curiosa of early 2000s Tokyo Noizuka, BOOBS $HIT’s “Fuckin' Brain Boobs $hit!!” CD-R is the more interesting document of this chaotic pogo orchestra, which is no doubt why England’s POGO PUNX RECORDS has opted to for its vinyl treatment, close on the heels of the label’s recent Chaos Destroy lathe disc and Game Bois 7” releases. 

Like a lot of Tokyo punk bands of their generation, BOOBS $HIT are in debt to legends of sloppy pogo Tom And Boot Boys, which can be heard on the CD-R, characterised as it is by snotty punk vocals and ultra-fast chaos punk. But BOOBS $HIT’s pogo swindle is at each turn punctuated by hi-pitched feedback noise and this places the outfit somewhere closer to Chaos CH and Dislike and others on the noisier spectrum of pogo.

The everyday punk record buyer may wonder why the BOOBS $HIT CD-R deserve a vinyl reissue. Well, not only does this recording present a more mature band than that we heard on the relatively more well-known tape—the distortion is not as loud as on the cassette—and here BOOBS $HIT prove that there was actually a great noisy pogo punk band behind the hype and myth of their drunken chaotic  and sloppy gigs. The sound production is impeccable which makes this a beer and pogo party record for your everyday punk needs!

BOOBS $HIT may never have gain the world fan base they no doubt were too drunk to even consider—and they never did realise the harebrained pretention to one day tour America. But today bands of their generation, notably STAGNATION, have gone on to become—if not world famous—recognised leaders in a greater noise punk scene with bands from all over the band. For me, that Iwawa, the drummer of BOOBS $HIT, is today the singer of one of Tokyo's  Saitama’s very best punk bands —The  ノーフューチャーズ — is really all I need to know prove that BOOBS $HIT require a place in punk history—and with this vinyl reissue, POGO PUNK RECORDS is ensuring just that."
