South Korea Sampler Vol. 1

Well, I've noticed I've neglected Korea until now so I threw together a small sampler of some good Korean bands. If I get a good response I'll post some of the bands albums. Check out Broke in Korea and Skunk Records for info about these bands and alot of other great ones.

Oh, and one more thing, I've moved and no longer have my cable internet so right now I'm stealing my neighbors slow-ass wireless so my uploads might become a little more spread out. Cheers.

SA - Stiff Upper Lip

SA is my all time favorite japanese punk band.
They’re formed in 1985 and ended in 1988. During their first phase, they only released one single named “I Get Position”.
In the year 2000, Taisei, the vocalist in their early years, reformed the band together with Naoki (Laughin’ Nose former guitar player), plus other two guys, and since then, they keep doing, what in my opinion is, the best punk music in Japan.
Their sound is fast and aggressive, but, at the same time, is really catchy, with a lot of sing-alongs. The only bad thing is their english.
They have already release 7 full length, 2 mini albums, and 4 singles. I’ve upload a very rare mini album released in 2003. This album contains their best song Naughty Boys (meet us there), a classic punk rock’n’roll Cock Sparrer style song.
Enjoy!



Tracklist:
01-Stay Strong
02-Climber’s song
03-No man’s nation

Punks Are Fuckin' Making Fuckin' Cds Comp

This is the Punks are Fuckin' Making Fuckin' Cds comp on Pogo 77 Records. It has 3 songs (One is the classic Piss off MTV Punks) from the always great Tom & Bootboys (Nori runs Pogo 77), 3 from noisier Greedy Bambi, 4 from even louder Little Bastards, another 4 from insanely loud Lasting Noise Attack and the last 3 tracks are from Defeat who end it on a more chaospunk sound. I will admit that I have never really liked listening to the 3 bands in the middle through headphones so I recommend large, large speakers. Pogo 77 Records is a great label with an amazing back catalog. You can visit them here: www.pogo77.com or here: http://www.myspace.com/pogo77records

Now

I'm making this blog public again because I want people to be exposed to the music. If you appreciate this blog leave your thanks or other comments so I know people actually care about what I'm doing. 4500 hits in 2 weeks without a single thankyou is not a very encouraging thing. Also if you wish to repost my posts or rips you have my permission to do so, as long as you state where you originally got it, like how this poster did: http://smilebubblesmile.blogspot.com/2008/07/ras-muhamad.html. I share my music collection with you people so you can see how good these oft-overlooked bands are, but I spent the time and money to share them. Copy and paste posting is not what blogsharing is about. Cheers.
