CPg - Demo 1983

Hungarian punk band CPg (which I beleive stands for Come On Punk Group) originally formed in 1979 and released this, their first demo, in 1983. This is a damn good band here. Once again it's unfortunate that it's demo quality. These guys are fun to listen to. Very 'minimalist'.

Radegast - Homo Novus Demo

Radegast was formed around 1982 in Czechoslovakia. Influenced by early 80's American bands, they played lightning fast female-fronted hardcore. This is their first demo, from 1986. Unfortunately it's demo quality. I'd love to hear this a bit better produced.

Schleim Keim - The Demo

First stop: the Eastern Bloc.

Schleim Keim, which roughly translates into the kings' english as "slimey germs", were one of the first punk bands in East Germany. They started around 1980 but were unable to release anything until this demo in 1991. They had a few more releases before breaking up in the mid-90's. Tho sloppy and underproduced I think it is well worth a listen.

Editors Note:

From now until August Dr. Drunk will be going on a World Tour. A large portion of what I will be posting this month was found after searching the blogosphere for all the 80's worldwide hardcore I could find. Some I had heard, or owned, and some I had merely heard of, but the majority of posts will be newly discovered music. As a result, descriptions, if any, will be shorter and even less informative than usual.

There were many blogs out there that I downloaded from. Unfortunately I don't remember them all, but some of my favorites (from my blogroll) are DEGEN ERIK, CRUCIFIED FOR YOUR SINS, and of course the WILD DEVIL himself. And others that I haven't befriended (yet!) are VELA ESCOLA NOVA ESCOLA  and PAY NO MORE THAN. Check 'em out. They're good people.

So, I hope you enjoy. And, as always, keep searching!

Icons Of Filth - Brain Death 7"

Icons Of Filth started in Cardiff, Wales in 1979. This is a 1995 compilation of their early 80's releases. Brutal and angry anarcho/hardcore.

Exploited - Punk's Not Dead

Here's another all-time classic punk rock L.P. The Exploited started in 1980 and Wattie hasn't taken his foot off the gas since.

Stiff Little Fingers - Nobody's Heroes

Let's make a quick 3 day trip through the remainder of the U.K. before taking on the rest of the world.
Stop #1: Ireland. Stiff Little Fingers. Here's the 1980 follow up to their debut. It pretty much solidified them as punk rock royalty.
