Asbestos Rockpyle - Police State / Bombs From Belfast (1984)

Lo-fi political art punk from Suitland, Maryland. Police State is a barn burnin' chunk of drum machine, twisted guitar lines, and vocals segued from the bullhorn announcements of the state (police). Bombs From Belfast sounds to me like someone making fun of The Clash. Probably not their intent but it works for me!

Brain Damage - Kill Dan White Party Tape (1985)

Reportedly recorded in 1979, but not released until 1985. The year Dan White took his own life. After serving only five years in prison for killing Harvey Milk and then San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. If you want to know more about it check wikipedia. Hell there's even been movies made about it, with Sean Penn and everything. So onto the music. Lo-fi sloppily played art punk wave with keyboards. Kill Dan White turns into free Sid Vicious, for seriously! You're Not the One is really just a retarded cover Stepping Stone. Forget Her and Sending a Message are my favs. The latter sounds like it could be another sixties cover. Yep Sending a Message is way cool.

Volumatix - Volume One (1982) Fitness / Trashman (1981)

New wave from Houston, Texas. Straight Line, Fitness, and Obscene Phone Call are all well done quirky new wave tunes that I like quite a lot. The rest I don't listen to that much. They put out an LP called In The City in '84 that I've not heard. And made a video for Obscene Phone Call that I'll put below. Seems a weird song choice as it's pretty much an instrumental aside from a few surprised sounding words from the singer. Still it makes a good video story. I wonder what kinds of hilarity they would have come up with for a Fitness video. Again I don't have the picture sleeve for the 7" but scans are at discogs.

Navastrau - American Fitness (1981)

Another record I don't have the picture sleeve for, but I found this pic on ebay. The second 7" from Navastrau, an electro postpunk band from Chicago. Nightmares on wax blog has their first EP and more info. Here

The Click - Wampum (1983)

A new wave / post punk band from Lincoln, Nebraska. They released another four song EP a year before this one. You can find one of the songs from it on a  Homework comp. They also have a couple of songs on the Capitol Punishment zine comps. Wilfully Obscure blog has one of those here.

Just found this on youtube. A video The Click did for Rope Around My Wrist off of their first EP!

Self Control - Broken Up (1983)

New wave art pop from London. More on the band here. They also put out a couple great 7" records. Both Elastic and Falling are stand out tracks.

The Blank Tapes Volume 1 - (1979)

Four bands, four songs, four different approaches. I'm most keen on Junk Art doing a sort of lo-fi minimal-synth, great name too. Attempted Moustache attempt spacey post-punk. Geisha Girls have an intense glam-punk track. The Zorkie Twins try to power-pop you. Not a bad song to be found.

Sad Among Strangers - Sparks Fly Upwards / A Better View of Baxtor / The Gongs (1980) Here Comes the Caesars / I Know Nothing of the Jungle (1980) It's So Good It's Incest / My Kind of Loser (1981)

Led by Lyndon Morgans, this UK band cranked out some great catchy tunes. Blending new wave/post punk and glam rock together, with vocals that remind me early Peter Gabriel. "Here Come the Caesars" for example is a killer track!

The Insane Darrell Wayne No Disco Album (1979)

Fun compilation of LA bands connected by their fervent passion to stop disco by any means necessary, or just by writing a song about it. Compiled by KROQ disc jockey Darrell Wayne. There's plenty of weird new wave, some punk rock thumpers, a couple of rock 'n rollers, and avant-garde otherness to be heard. All in all it's a fun compilation of LA bands that... oh wait I already said that.

Altar Ego - War / Altar Ego (198?)

Catchy post-punk from Australia. No date on the record, but this is most likely from '83.
