 LINK LÄRM - "Troppo Presto... O Troppo Tardi?" LP  £12.00 Plus Post

 LP (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) LAST COPIES!

RAPPRESAGLIA - Danza Di Guerra - 7"EP £6.00 plus post

 (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.  OUT NOW!!
