AKUTT-80 - s/t - 7"EP is coming out next week!

 Formed in 1978 in Kongsvinger, Norway under the name Vicious Kids and later Riot, before settling for Akutt 80. The three kids aged 15, 17 and 18 found the vocalist in summer 1979 and quickly recorded a handful of songs at their bass player´s place, using the staircase as the vocal booth. His grandma, who was at home while the recording took place, did not like the vocals on “Prostituert” (Prostitute) and asked the boys to be more quiet, which can actually be heard on the recording. 4 songs of mid tempo punk rock with one reggae influenced song that you could expect from 4 teenage boys back in 1979. This EP (originally released in 1981) has become a classic that is sold at very high prices also because it´s believed that the band made a fire and destroyed a lot of the records that didn´t sell right away.

One of the rarest punk rock EPs from Norway is finally seeing the reissue with an extra insert containing the band´s history. 300 copies on black vinyl, 50 on dark red. You can order it from www.goodwillrecords.net 

LINK LÄRM - Troppo Presto... ...O Troppo Tardi? LP

Out on 20th of September the discography of Link Lärm entitled "Troppo Presto... ...O Troppo Tardi?". Italian hc/punk band active 1983-1986. Played with Impact, Wretched, Indigesti, Peggio Punx, Anti-Sect, No Pigs, Varukers,... In their time they released an 11 track demo tape and had 4 songs on the compilation LP "Sutura Eterna" (together with Disper-Azione, Antisbarco and Midgard). Three of them then formed Contropotere together with 2 ex members of Elettrocrazia (from Naples). This is the discography album that includes the demo (11 songs), the 4 tracks from the Sutura Eterna compilation LP and 3 more tracks from the same session that were not included on the LP. Comes with a 6 page foldout insert containing band history, photos, lyrics, gig flyers and more. Musically Link Lärm were different from what was going around in Italy in those years and profoundly different from Contropotere that came later. Frequent rhythm changes, from mid tempo to fast, accompanied by devilish vocals spouting caustic denunciation of the political and social issues of the time and pungent guitarwork reminiscing of early Black Flag works, although on the whole I´d say Link Lärm owe more musically to Dead Kennedys than to Black Flag. Add to the mix some 80s Italian hc/punk flavor (Impact, Upset Noise, Eu´s Arse,...) and you probably get an idea what Link Lärm sounded like. 

18 song LP that can be ordered from www.goodwillrecords.net . There are 200 copies on black vinyl and 50 on dark red one. Below is a video with one of the songs from the album, Hiroshima, done by Matteo.

RAPPRESAGLIA - Danza Di Guerra 7"EP Out now!

Rappresaglia started their story back in 1982 with their furious hardcore made in Italy (perhaps you remember the song Attack from a number of compilations back in the early 80s). By 1984 when their first 7" (this one) came out, they had found their style which, although it owed a lot to the Italian style HC that in those years started conquering the world, showed a slower and more melodic side to Rappresaglia. If you look at the Italian HC/Punk scene of the time, you could find certain similarities with bands like Bloody Riot, Stigmathe, Fall Out,...4 crude, direct, tuneful Punk anthems that stand the test of time. Edition of 300 on black vinyl, 50 on green! You can order it at www.goodwillrecords.net or at noplanrecords@gmail.com 

LAST ROUGH CAUSE - The Violent Few EP

The jubilar 20th release for No Plan Records is nothing less than the impossible to find first 7"EP by the Darlington´s Last Rough Cause. The band´s debut 7" is now available for the first time since 1985. You probably remember them from the Skins´N´Punks split LP. Well, these here were the band´s first songs on vinyl. Classic UK street punk that packs a punch and carries a lot of melody. Think The Crack meets Red Alert meets Stiff Little Fingers. 300 copies on black and 50 on blue. There´s a very limited amount left, so better get in touch quickly at noplanrecords@gmail.com or order them from www.goodwillrecords.net. Here´s one of their songs to give you an idea:

NEWTOWN NEUROTICS - Elephant Demos LP (1980.)

This album had been in the works for a while, but was finally completed at the end of September, just a few days before Steve Drewett and the crew paid a visit during the filming of the Newtown Neurotics documentary: "Kick Out!: The Newtown Neurotics Story". What Steve had been diligently working on during the past year is a collection of 1980 recordings better known as Elephant Demos. The recordings were done in Elephant Studios in London in 1980 by Steve, Colin and Tig, the band´s first drummer. Most, though not all, of the songs were later re-recorded and appeared on different (Newtown) Neurotics releases, yet in this shape they had never seen the light of the day on vinyl. In addition to 10 original songs, there´s a bonus track recorded live the same year.
The recordings of these demos happened around the same time as the ones for their second 7" "When The Oil Runs Out" and why they had never been used for a release one can only guess. I recall Steve telling me that these demos were meant to be sent to record labels to showcase the band´s material back in the day. However, the band changed the drummer soon after and the demos got forgotten, until very recently when we suggested to put them on vinyl and finally do some justice to this material.
The album comes on deluxe 150 gr vinyl in gatefold sleeve and is accompanied by a double-sided insert with lyrics and photos. There are two editions: black vinyl, limited to 300 copies that can be purchased for 15 euros and the blue vinyl version, limited to 50 copies, that can be obtained for 18.50 euros from www.goodwillrecords.net
Here´s a song from Elephant Demos LP. Enjoy!

KBO! - Perspektiva  1982. - 1989.  LP

NPR18 is a collection of demo recordings from the beginning of the career of Kbo!, one of the best known punk/HC bands from Yugoslavia that belongs to the second, or rather third wave of Yugo punk. Starting back in 1982, in the following 7 years Kbo! became one of the leading Punk/HC bands in Yugoslavia alongside KUD Idijoti. They released a handful of demo tapes and only at the very end of the 80s had a chance to release their first full length on Greek label Wipe Out Records (Panx Romana, Sress, Anti, Chaos Generation,...). These recordings collected throughout the 80s show the band in their best moments. To top it all, the album comes with an 8 page fanzine that tells the band's history until 1989 together with lyrics and a huge amount of pictures and flyers.
If you are interested what the punk/HC scene was like in the 80s in Yugoslavia, this album is for you. The band has been playing for 35 years now and this is a great chance to learn how it all started back in 1982.
You can order the album for 14 euros plus the postage (black vinyl version, limited to 300) or 17 euros plus postage (the color vinyl version limited to 50). Feel free to contact us at: noplanrecords@gmail.com

NEGAZIONE - Tutti Pazzi EP

What seemed like a rumor, at last came true: the first NEGAZIONE 7", one of the headstones of Italian hardcore, came out in its third edition, 30+ years after the first two pressings. Released in collaboration with Negazione drummer Michele and his Piatto Forte Records, it took a few years of talks to band members to come to this release.
What you have here is raw, underproduced, primordial hardcore like very few scenes managed to produce. Italy and Finland became famous for such crude version of HC that conquered hearts during the 80s and is still very popular today. And Negazione were top of the game. Formed on the ashes of Turin HC bands like Quinto Braccio, Declino, Kollettivo,... Negazione worked hard, toured hard and played even harder. After their split tape with Declino (that later became an LP), it was the time for an own record. Subvert produzioni (Michele, the band's drummer), TVOR fanzine, Kina and Negazione themselves produced this 7" back in 1985. Sixfold poster cover with photos and lyrics and a black slab of vinyl with 5 songs was the deal, and Negazione started their 8 year long journey with it, touring all over Europe and releasing many great records after it.
600 copies on black vinyl and 100 on color are available for grabs from today, equally split between the two labels. Order your copy for 7 euros (black vinyl) or 10 euros (color vinyl) at noplanrecords@gmail.com
