Farbiges Splatter Vinyl - gelb & grün"One of the most unique bands in modern punk rock. Wonk Unit are a fresh breath of life in the London punk scene. They're fun, weird, poetic and utterly compelling all at once, a must-see." - Art RockerAlex 'Daddy' Wonk legte 1992 in London mit seiner Band "The Flying Medallions" den Grundstein für das, was heute Wonk Unit ist: Eine in Europa einzigartige Band mit eigenem Sound, eigenem Humor, eigenem Festival und tief verwurzeltem DIY Background. Alex Brindle Johnson ist dabei als Lead Singer, Poet, Skater, Stage Perfomer und kreativer Motor das Herz der Band, von der nicht wenige behaupten, dass es das derzeit Spannendste sei, was es auf Europas Punkrockbühnen zu sehen gibt. Dazu passend Musik und Songs, die sich nicht im Geringsten um Genregrenzen scheren und die doch zu jeder Zeit Alex Brindle Johnson und damit Wonk Unit sind. Punk braucht seit Jahren neuen Input und Wonk Unit liefern genau das. In other words:"It's punk son, but not as we know it" - Eugene Butcher (Big Cheese)

Limited edition box set with 3 x 7″ inch singles in picture sleeves. Black vinyl.
The aim of the Punk elää 7″ box series is to offer people the chance to digest these often impossibly rare and expensive records in their original 7 inch format. Each box comes with an insert with text from Fenno-punk historian Juho Hänninen.
The second box set, Systeemissäkö vika?!? (Something Wrong With The System?!?) offers three replicas of privately pressed Finnish punk seven inches from 1980.
The most famous title here is the debut seven inch by RATTUS, Khomeini-Rock. Known for their classic hardcore records such as WC räjähtää (1982), the band’s first single was a self-financed affair of 200 copies only. This new facsimile edition presents a rare chance to hear how the band’s early steps in search of their style sounded like.
Lapsuuden Loppu (Childhood’s End) existed for a brief period first in 1979 and then with another lineup in 1980. This latter version of the band, who hailed from northern Finland, close to the Swedish border, wanted to steer clear of new wave which was rearing its head and becoming fashionable, and stuck to hard-hitting old school punk. They managed to self-release a self-titled seven inch before splitting up, original copies now almost impossibly rare to find.
Systeemi, whose debut single also gave this set its title, differs from many of their contemporary diy punk rock groups in that they made a second 7 inch too, although not until 1983. This 1980 debut, Systeemissäkö vika?!? was the fruit of youngsters that met each other at a vocational school in Jyväskylä, central Finland, in the late seventies. They named the band Systeemi in 1979 and entered the studio on the spring of 1980. The self-released record, as with all titles in this set, has become a holy Grail for punk rock collectors due to its obscurity and extremely low pressing run.

Back when they started out as a side project of Melbourne's goth punk band—MASSES, UBIK described themselves as "Catchy brat-beat with a little sprinkling of anarcho goodness". That still rings true but with a slight lineup change and a couple years of practicing/gigging, they've gotten 100x tighter and traded most of the goodness for a bit more snarl. The catchiness remains strong a deliberate. This band rules, we can't wait for you to hear their best work.

BACK IN PRINT! Originally issued in 2011, this was the second single taken off the NYC-based punk rock band's 'Kill Everyone' album, backed with the exclusive flipside track 'The Story'.

Factory Benelux presents a limited edition vinyl album by Tunnelvision, the youthful Blackpool band who released cult single Watching the Hydroplanes on Factory Records in 1981. Just 500 copies of have been pressed on clear vinyl, matching the original Factory release. Formed in 1980, the sombre post-punk quartet were mentored by Section 25 before impressing Rob Gretton and Tony Wilson at an early New Order gig in Blackpool in September 1980. Two songs from their first demo were mixed by Martin Hannett at Britannia Row and released as a 7-inch single (Fac 39) in June 1981, sleeved by Martyn Atkins in an opulent sleeve referencing dictionaries and leather-bound books. After several more gigs with New Order and other Factory artists Tunnelvision taped a second strong demo, mixed for release by Peter Hook. However the turbulent teenage band disintegrated before a second single emerged. Newly remastered from the original analogue reels, Watching the Hydroplanes features includes all 8 tracks from their two Cargo demos, including the Hannett mixes of the title track and Morbid Fear. The set also features Emotionless, recorded live at Bristol Trinity Hall in March 1981.

Trash Kit are Rachel Aggs (guitar, vocals), Rachel Horwood (drums, vocals) and Gill Partington (bass). Three deeply creative individuals who play in a multitude of other groups including Bas Jan, Sacred Paws, Shopping and Bamboo, united by a shared decade of spry musicality that surges through their bodies, hearts and heads with Trash Kit. Their songs once succinct, patchwork post-punk numbers of an honest diary-like nature now tussle more with long-form songwriting, expeditious polyphony and cascades of sung-spoke vocals. This new focus began with their last album ‘Confidence’ (2014) and has now grown into something exhilarating and rapturous. New songs like ‘Disco’ have had their very fabric stretched into smart new shapes, allowing the band to run away with refrains and unlock the dancefloor. Although Trash Kit have their forebears in bands like Sleater Kinney, The Ex and The Raincoats, their sound is still very much their own take on facing forwards and relies as much on the naturalism of an internalised folk music as on their sincerity of vision.

[DEU]Limitiert auf 500 7"s auf grünem Vinyl nur für die Europa Tour 2011! "Wir wollten für diese Tour etwas ganz Besonders machen. Das neue Album erscheint erst in ein paar Monaten, so dass uns bei ein paar Bier und guter Pizza in einem Pub in Hackney die Idee kam, den ersten Track auf dem THEE SPIVS Debütalbum mit deutschem Gesang aufzunehmen, so wie das Bands in den Sixties ständig gemacht haben. Also nahm Ben mit der Hilfe von unseren Freunden von Cargo Records Germany deutschen Gesang für diese Doppel-A-Seite auf. Außerdem haben THEE SPIVS soeben die erste Hälfte ihres Album fertig aufgenommen, das später 2011 erscheinen wird." - Ian Ballard, DAMAGED GOODS.www.myspace.com/theespivs[ENG]LIMITED EDITION OF 500 GREEN COLORED 7" SINGLES FOR EUROPEAN TOUR 2011. "We wanted something special to release for the tour and the new album is still months away, so over a few beers and some very nice pizzas in a Hackney pub we came up with the idea of a German vocal on the first track on their debut album as a nod to the great bands of the sixties who did this on a regular basis. So, with a little help from our friends at Cargo Germany Ben re-recorded the vocals in German for this double 'A' side 7"! They have also just finished recording the first half of their second album which will be out later in 2011. " - Ian Ballard, DAMAGED GOODS.

Demo recording from punk legends THE Varukers!!!! In 1980 The Varukers went into Woodbine Studios in Leamington Spa and recorded these demo's engineered by Johnny Rivers.

If the original intent of punk rock was to reject the excesses of mainstream rock, strip things back to bare bones basics, jettison slickness and embrace a DIY ethic, then THE REVENGE were punk rock personified. Formed in 1977 in Cheshunt, London by Lol Hammond (vocals/guitar), Ian Strange (bass/vocals) and Dave Edgar (drums/vocals), these teenagers played most of London’s punk clubs, including the Roxy. The band self-released two singles in 1978 on their own Loony Records before disbanding in 1979. Both 7-inches were pressed in incredibly small amounts and now have legendary status amongst collectors going for ridiculous sums. The recordings are extremely raw, even by punk standards—particularly on the band’s first single, where the guitar sound is so tough and scuzzy it would not sound out of place on a volume of Back From The Grave. Needless to say, the singles received little press and vanished without a trace. Nowadays Lol Hammond is one of London’s well known DJs who has recorded as Drum Club and Girl Eats Boy, collaborated with Roger Eno, directed film scores and has remixed the likes of Jah Wobble, Killing Joke and The Fall, to name but three. In The Red is proud to issue the first legitimate (these singles have been bootlegged) reissue of The Revenge’s two singles.

Nothing can represent a band better than their own words and we could not be more excited to be shouting those of The Restarts from the rooftops!

Originally released by Oi! the Boat (U.S.A.) and Randale Records (Europe) in 2014,“This Means War“ is THE OLD FIRM CASUALS debut LP. This incredible album really showcases the explosive burst onto the scene that this band made - and created something permanent and timeless to show the importance of this band to the world of streetpunk & Oi!. Taking a few songs from previously released (and highly acclaimed) singles, and elevating them by sandwiching them together with new tracks, this record became a fan favourite quickly. With its original pressings now out of print, Pirates Press Records is proud to re-issue this integral record, globally, adding a few extra finishing touches in the process. Two versions are available: gold and silver. The gold vinyl is housed in a jacket printed on gold foil (the “snake“ design), and the silver vinyl is available in a jacket printed on silver foil (the “Wolf” design). This album also includes the bonus track “Watford Tuxedo“ which appears after a locked groove on the B-side. Go get ‘em folks - these are truly a ‘must have’ for any punk rock vinyl collector!
