1. THE STALIN - 'Title in Japanese Characters’ - Climax LP - Japan -1982
Otherwise known as
Track 7 from 'Stop Jap'.
2. THE UNDEAD -
'Sanctuary' -
Riot City LP - UK -1982
From the 'Riotous
Assembly' comp. Better than their album version, methinks.
3. THE WARDENS - 'Do
So Well' - Snu-Peas 7" - UK - 1979
One of those catchy
powerpop numbers with a groovy bassline. The superior flipside to 'Last Like This'.
4. THE SPY'S -
'Underground' - 007 7" - Canada - 1980
Sole single, from Windsor, Ontario.
5. THE ACTION - 'TV's
On The Blink' - Montreco 12" - Canada - 1977
More nice bass work. From their sole E.P. although Rave Up found more stuff and bashed it all out in 2009.
6. THE UNDEAD - 'Life
Of Our Own' - Stiff 7" - USA - 1982
This is the American
Undead fronted by one time Misfit Bobby Steele. From their debut E.P. 'Nine Toes Later'.
7. BATTERED WIVES - 'Angry
Young Man' - Bomb LP - Canada - 1978
One from their self-titled debut album.
8. THE ZITS - 'Beat
Your Face' -Olympic 7" - USA - 1981
Wild Devil Man posted
this recently which I'd deliberately overlooked as the A-side didn't seem
memorable enough. How I overlooked this wonderful flipside however is anyone's
guess.
9. THE TEA SET - 'Tri
X Pan' - Waldo's 7" - UK - 1979
The superior flipside of their second 7" 'Parry Thomas'.
10. THE GORDONS -
'Future Shock' - Gordons 7" - New Zealand - 1980
Post-punk noise-time
now with New Zealands noisiest band (at the time). This was their debut single.
11. THE UNDEAD -
'Never Say Die' - Post Mortem 7" - USA - 1985
Bobby & Co.'s third single.
12. MAJOR ACCIDENT -
'Standing On The Sidelines' - Demo - UK - 1981
Available on the 'Clockwork Demos' album on Captain Oi!
13. THE BODGERS -
'Stutter' - Bodger 7" - UK - 1982
Hilarious or cruel? I
suppose it depends upon whether any of 'em actually had such a speech
impediment. Doesn't it?
14. WARSAW - '(I Do)
Like The Natives' - Friends 8" flexi - Canada - 1980
This one's a grower,
about the pros and cons of foreign travel. Mostly the cons. Not-bad sounding for a flexi disc.
15. THE STALIN - 'Stop
Jap' -
Climax LP - Japan -1982
The title track from 'Stop Jap'. 16. THE DEFECTS - 'Head On Collision' - WXYZ LP - UK - 1983
Their finest moment, from the 'Defective Breakdown' album.
17. THE UNDEAD - 'The
Way We Behave' - Post Mortem LP - USA - 1989
It took 'em a while to finally release an album ('Act Your Rage!') and this is one of the better tracks on it.
18. THE OFFS - 'Bye
Bye Baby' - CD Presents LP - USA - 1984
From 'The Offs First
Record' which wasn't actually their first. All punk influences had gone by this
point and this, the album's ska-tinged closer, is about the only track worth
posting on a blog like this.
19. ZRO4 - 'Give Me
Attention' - Demo - Canada - 1980
Available on the 'Punk History Canada Presents: Only In Canada, Eh 77-81 Volume 1' CD. 20. THE SPYS - 'Machine Shop' -
The hilarious
flipside of 'Underground'. 'Lots of noise, lots of boys.' So macho!
21. THE BODGERS - 'I
Hate Phoning Girls' -
Bodger 7" - UK - 1982
The flipside of 'Stutter'.
22. THE UNDEAD -
'Undead' -
Post Mortem LP - USA - 1989
A second track from 'Act Your Rage!' 23. SLANDER - 'Petticoat Junction' - North Shore LP - Canada - 1981
From sole LP 'Hemi-Conscious' with possibly the
stoopidest backing vocals of all time?
24. MAYHEM - 'Psycho'
- Riot City LP - UK -1982
A second track from 'Riotous
Assembly'. 25. THE GORDONS - 'Coalminers Song' -Gordons LP - New Zealand - 1981
The cacophony which
was their self-titled debut album all crystallised for me with this guitar-driven epic.
***BONUS TRACKS***

'Evening Of Desire' (from
'Act Your Rage!')

in Japanese Characters' (Track 8 from 'Stop Jap')
