In care you don’t already have it the Red Dons Fake Meets Failure LP has been posted on another blog where you can download it for free.
“Check out this link to a radio segment about Portland Punk that originally aired on September 12th, 2011 on the Bra Trommis program on Radio Nova in Norway. The piece features interviews with Red Dons & Tragedy. It is narrated in Norwegian but our responses remain in English so you can still make out most of what the interview covers.”
“We Are very proud to announce that we finally have the finished product more than a year in the making. Doom Town are a great punk band from St. Louis Mo. that play a raw style of punk with male/female melodies much like Los Angeles X, but with the raw energy of Gorilla Angreb. Listen for yourselves, this music is catchy and sharp. Doom Town will be touring Europe in January 2012.”

“This time it is the Bellevue Discography Lp 1980 – 1983 Lp!!!
Bellevue-Discography LP. Absolutly beautifully packaged collection of the two 7″s of this essential Swisspunk band, some never before released studio songs from the period plus three remastered but still raw live songs. Includes innersleave with Rare pictures, History and Biography !!!
Edition of 500 copies only !
During the late 70’s Andrea Hofer and Jürg Grob began to meet for evening sessions of noise at former “venues” such as defunct bomb shelters and parking lots. These nights brought together a wide range of very unique and diverse characters. Names like Marcel Hollenstein (Halle K, Nero’s Dinner), Christoph Hozog (Plaza), Turi Meyer (Sperma), Astrid Spririg (Liliput, Neon) and many many others were also very actively involved. When vocalist Peter Hefti joined in 1980, the name ‘Bellvue’ was adopted. After a handful of shows Jean Bhend left and was replaced by Major Many of the Rebells on drums. Bellevue consisted of former art-school students, looking for a new direction and for those involved who weren’t, Bellvue was a reaction to the stereotypical, chart-orientated music that was dominating the mainstream of that time. Bellevue sang in German and English, lyrically dealing with issues such as government surveillance, the army, drugs and genetic engineering. Besides a handfull of shows across Germany, Bellvue predominately played in their home city of Zürich with the odd out-of-town performance every so often. It all unfortunately came to an end in 1983 after the release of their second 7”, Soldatenlied…”
Another Mondo Ray review this time care of Get Bent.
“We’re onto Munich-based trio Mondo Ray. Hypnotized is pop thrills and rock ‘n’ roll chills. Windian Records has been on a roll lately, releasing a steady stream of appealing punk records (White Faces and a reissued Penetrators 7’’), so how solid this little slab of wax is really comes as no surprise. “Hypnotized” comes complete with a frantic riff (dare I say it’s hypnotizing?) and a refrain containing nervy vocals, all wrapped up in a sound that’s well in line with the cover art. Its B-side (“Nothing”) is more mellow and poppy, but it still brings plenty of energy to the table and is perhaps even better than the A-side. Both songs are guitar-driven blasts of refreshingly simplistic rock ‘n’ roll straight from the heart. The single’s brief duration (approximately four minutes) makes you want to hit repeat, crank it up, and sing along. Do you need this 7”? Yes, yes you do.”
Mastering Synthetic ID for the upcoming 7″ release of the demo cassette on Cut the Cord That… Records.
“There’s a new best band in San Francisco. I know I say that a lot, but I mean it every time. SYNTHETIC ID play jerky and genuine jams for fans of WIPERS, THE FALL, PERE UBU and OBSERVERS. “Throwaway” is among the greatest songs I’ve heard in years – this three song banger is angular and deliberate, and the guitars are brilliant. Speaking of guitars, they are handled by the most understated and prolific musicians I’ve ever come across, who is also a contributing member of FACE THE RAIL, ECOLI, YADOKAI, and HUNTING PARTY. This demo is short, to be sure, but so very sweet.”
