KREMLIN KORPS - Moscow´s Revenge 7" EP reissue is out!

KREMLIN KORPS were a short lived Philadelphia band that played with a lot of hc/punk legends (Scream, UK Subs, Toxic Reasons, Subhumans, Crucifix, Government Issue, TSOL, Agnostic Front, No Trend, DRI, White Cross, Adrenalin OD, Corrosion Of Conformity, Jerry´s Kids, Iron Cross, Heart Attack,..) and left us a 4 song 7"EP legacy. 

At a time when female-fronted hardcore bands were nearly unheard of, Stacey’s powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence set them apart. But it was the band’s name—Kremlin Korps—that really stirred the pot. With Cold War paranoia in full swing and Reagan’s America in a flag-waving frenzy, the name alone was enough to get them labeled “commie pinko faggots” by some regional critics. The band wore the insult like a badge of honor, doubling down with their 1984 EP Moscow’s Revenge, a middle finger to the era’s chest-thumping nationalism.

The reissue comes in a revamped foldout cover with band biography, photos, lyrics and flyers. 400 copies on black vinyl, 100 on turquoise. You can order a copy here:

PROCES / STENGTE DORER - Splitt EP out on No Plan Records!

On the 40th anniversary of this release, No Plan is presenting Proces / Stengte Dører - Splitt EP!!

Two bands, two countries, two languages, one record. Released in 1985 on X-Port Platter (Norway) this split 7" was the first vinyl release for both bands. 

Proces was a punk band from Subotica, Yugoslavia, active since 1979. That summer they recorded a handful of songs at Borut Cinc studio in Ljubljana and 3 songs ended up on side A of this split. The only truly independent punk/hc release of a Yugoslavian band before that was Corpus Delicti 7" EP by UBR from Ljubljana that came out a year before, so this 7" counts as the second independent vinyl release of a Yugoslavian punk/hc band ever! 3 songs of political punk from one of the strongest punk scenes in Yugoslavia at that time. Their friend Septic (RIP) drew the cover and some of the drawings inside.

Stengte Dører came from Oslo with a rich hc/punk pedigree, having band members that came from bands like Anfall, Bannlyst, Svart Framtid, Psykisk Terror, and others. They, on the other hand, formed not too long before this 7", but offer 4 songs of supreme musicianship on this slab of vinyl. Their quick, angry, aggressive and unpolished hc/punk gained them many fans with this release. Although their songs are sang in their native Norwegian, no fear because the insert with English translation comes with each copy of the record. To top this off, besides the 6-fold cover and the insert that are both faithful reproduction of the original, the 7" comes with an extra sticker.

500 copies on black vinyl, 100 copies on transparent. You can order them here:

The holy grail for collectors of Swedish punk out now on No Plan records. TST - Vås Punx 7"!

For many, this is the holy grail of Swedish punk. Considering that the original sells for over 1,000 euros, it´s no wonder why. 

TST was an early punk band from Vasteras, an hour west of Stockholm, that played tuneful and somewhat anthemic punk rock. This was their debut 7", released in 1981, containing 4 songs. The band will go on having a really long life, though their most productive period was in the first half of the 80s.

The original 7" was pressed in 300 copies, didn´t have any inserts and you never see it in the wild nowadays. This reissue comes with a 4 page insert that contains all the lyrics, photos, gig flyers and an essay about the band. 

300 copies on black and 100 on red. Almost all of these got sold out in the preorders. Repress to follow soon with 300 on black and 100 on transparent. You can order your copy here: 

TST - Vås Punx 7"

Here´s a song from their debut 7" Vås Punx:

Atlanta, Georgia´s own D.D.T. are reissuing their Brave New World 7" from 1983 on No Plan records!

DDT was probably the earliest HC/punk band in Atlanta, Georgia. Nobody was playing hardcore down there before DDT showed up on the scene. A year or two later another band showed up (Neon Christ) and the two bands played many times together. The band had in its lineup Rik Barr formerly of THE STATE from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and  Greg Psomas of the legendary New York City punk band Ism.

This is their self produced 7" from 1983. You don´t see this one in the wild, but if you did it would cost you a lot of money. 5 songs here. From the ultra melodic Mr. Roger´s Neighborhood, to quick hardcore burst like Girls, Girls, Girls and Brave New World, to post punkish/no waveish I´m Walking The Psychopath and The End that brings in mind bands like Flipper, No Trend or Tuxedomoon.

Great 7". The reissue comes with a 6 page insert with lyrics, band history, photos and flyers. 400 copies on black vinyl and a limited edition of 100 on gold! You can buy your copy here:

DDT - Brave New World 7"

Here´s the famous Mr. Roger´s Neighborhood taken from the 7":

A.O.A. - Satisfactory Arrangement LP out on NO PLAN Records!!

AOA debuted on vinyl with Who Are They Trying To Con? 12" in 1985. A year later they returned with the split LP with fellow Scots better known as Oi Polloi with an album called Unlimited Genocide. The trilogy of albums is closed with Satisfactory Arrangement that was recorded in 1986 and 1987 and finally released in 1988.

This is relentless anarcho punk/hardcore with a message. It runs at 200 mph and takes no prisoners. Their nickname ´the Scottish Discharge´ probably tells you everything about the ferocity of their music. Lyrically, AOA blast at everyone, from big corporations, to animal testing laboratories, to capitalism, to the situation in Northern Ireland, to police brutality and more.

The reissue of this 80s classic comes completely remastered on 180 gr vinyl in gatefold sleeve containing all the lyrics, plus a download code. There are 700 copies on black vinyl and 100 on red vinyl. You can order your copy here:

AOA - Satisfactory Arrangement LP

Announcing SCHMIDTHEADS - retrospective LP!!

This mysterious band that existed between 1986 and 1989 in Arcata, California, never released anything on vinyl. There were plans, and the band went down to Los Angeles to record two songs, but soon afterwards they broke up and the vinyl record never happened. Some people remember Schmidtheads from Aaron Cometbus´ compilation  Best We Regret, which put together on one tape 33 Northern California bands with unreleased recordings ranging from 1981 till 1988. 

Schmidtheads named themselves after a beer company, because they used to drink exclusively Schmidt beer. They played a lot, mostly locally, besides their infamous "LA or bust" Tour. They played with Operation Ivy, Crimpshrine, Mr. Bungle, Problem Children, Blatz, Isocracy, Brent´s TV, Neer Do Wells, Lethal Gospel, One Man Running, Nuisance and many others. This is a song from their upcoming retrospective LP album out on No Plan records very very soon:

News!! News!! News!! Breeders - Zen Punk 7"EP just out!

This is the original Breeders, formed in Champaign, IL, in the early-eighties. They released a 7" EP titled "Zen Punk" and an eight song cassette titled "Things Happen". This is a little hidden gem of Midwestern punk. Three songs, remastered for the occasion. A side is an elaborate song between Punk Rock and No Wave, that brings in mind bands like Gang of Four, Contortions, Wire,... On the flip side, two miniatures on the verge of hardcore. Think early Husker Du, Minor Threat and White Cross. Comes with the original artwork and a sticker!

You can listen to one of the songs here: 

400 copies on black vinyl and 50 on green (with some on swirled green).

They can be ordered from Goodwill records
