Sons Of Cobra : City Of Pain / Outsider (Ghost Highway Rec. / 2021)

Új finn zenekar, régi arcoktól. Az énekes már a 80-as években nyomult egy finn hard core bandában, de a többiek is a Helsinki RnR életének aktív tagjai régóta, a power poptól a rockabillyig összevissza. Ezen a 7″-es kislemezen két szám van. Két kurvajó szám! Hangulatra mindkettő teljesen 70-es évek Detroit proto punk mint a Sonic’s Rendezvous Band (MC5, Stooges, The Up zenészek bandája) vagy az ausztrál Radio Birdman, Bored! 

Szóval ez a jó dögös Punk RnR fasza szólókkal, jó énektémákkal. Nekem az első számot hallgatva is volt egy kis Turbonegro érzésem és a másik oldalon az Outsider végén el is hangzik az ” Outside(r) of soceity ” szinte ugyanúgy, ahogy Turbonegroék énekelték annak idején a Denim Demon-ban. Elvileg idén kijön az első nagylemez, én kurvára várom és bármikor jöhetnének egy fasza RNR666 Buliba Budapestre!

Kiadójuk a Ghost Highway Recordings is megérdemel két mondatot. Madridi cég rengeteg kiadvánnyal (többnyire 7″) punk/RnR/garage vonalon: Jack Oblivian, Skip Jensen, Bloodshot Bill, Die Zorros (Beat-Man poénzenekara) Electric Frankensein, Hipbone Slim stb…. Plusz nagyon érdekes feldolgozásalbumokat adnak ki a Dead Boystól,Ramonestől, Motörheadtől és van egy sub-labeljük KÜLÖN  The OBLIVIANS feldolgozásoknak!!!!!!

The Boogie Mooses : She Knows The Night (Kalansilma Records / 2021)

A finn banda 70-es évekbeli Heavy Rockot játszik a Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd hagyományait követve. A címadó szám ennek megfelelően totál Iomi gitártémára épül, de az ének miatt én hallok bele egy kis Candlemass-t is, mondjuk mindkét említett zenekarnál lazább, nyugisabb a hangulat itt.

A másik oldalon egy feldolgozás, a Sweet zenekar Man from Mecca című száma 1972-ből. Elég jó, de nekem a saját dal jobban tetszik. Idén jön ki az első nagylemezük. A két gitáros amúgy ilyen viszonylag ismertebb metal bandákban nyomult mint a To/Die/For meg az Omnium Gatherum, a ritmusszekció meg pl. a Mr. Catfish Band-ben meg a The Mutants-ben. Ez utóbbiban Japa volt a dobos a Black Magic Six előtt!

Kösz a lemezeket Stefi!
Kiitos Stefi!

Rural legend and outsider folk artist H.C. SLIM spent his formative years smoking cigarettes and playing his guitar, between distilling moonshine in an old empty factory in the Eastern-Finnish countryside. As an evangelical visionary and wayward preacher, H.C SLIM calls forth revelations of pastoral love and rustic abandoned buildings. His songs are both apocalyptic and illuminating, swelling between religious fervour and starless prophecies of biblical destruction. E.g.:

He had amassed quite a catalog of original songs he’s demoed on a tape recorder, deep in the Eastern Finnish countryside. Over the years cassettes and CDRs began to circulate with original copies selling for high prices before Svart Records drove out to his remote cabin to offer Slim a deal for his debut album.

FOR EPICUREAN SOULS

V/A  RARE FINNISH SYNTH – POP & DISCO 1979 – 92

Title song by EMILIA

She is internationally maybe the most sought-after Finnish disco 7”. Released in 1981, it was the debut single of the singer Anne Luoto under this moniker. Her experiments in cosmic Italo disco didn’t find any positive feedback from the Finnish rock critics, but luckily it didn’t stop her from making a highly collectible album also. Even though the eponymous album (1982) includes many quality tracks – and also her debut single Satan In Love – the standout track in her repertoire is this strange love song with devilish lyrics. The original track was released by Italian disco project La Bellini in 1978 and this Finnish version from three years later uses the same backing track. Anne Luoto had a very interesting day job – she was a calligrapher.

If you want to know more and you are curious about the Finnish lyrical version of this song by Fredi you need to buy this double LP. It comes with an essay about early Finnish electronic music by Mikko Mattlar: DJ, journalist and historian on Finnish music.

Frankly, I’m fed up with garage rock. And Straight Arrows are also a garage rock band, but luckily in Australia. I can tell lots of fashionable phrase about their music: fuzzy, psychedelic, garage rock, punk attitude etc. But all the same, it’s wonderful.

„Rising” LP, CD, digital album on Rice Is Nice (AUS), Agitated (UK) and Hozac Records (USA) on next week

„Medieval Power Folk” – What?

The singer of the Songs (nothing special Aussie indie pop) decided to record a solo album and enlisted two friends to back her up in 2011.

These tracks taken from the second album, No Enter by Chapter Music
