Here's another single from my recent sort out. The Cravats were a punk rock band from Redditch near Birmingham, England. They only released one single on Crass Records but had a few other releases on Small Wonder Records and the like. Again this is not your standard anarcho-punk fare but something a little different and definitely worth hearing. You can check out the wikipedia page for The Cravats here.

Hit Parade was Dave Hyndman from Belfast, with occassional assistance by members of Crass on backing vocals but mostly it was Dave. This EP was released in 1982 on Crass Records & rather than guitars, bass & drums it is anarcho-dance!?!, using drum boxes & samplers. I've also included a rip of the Plastic Culture 12" EP, which was released in 84.
(text from Southern Records)
This record exposes the tyranny of the British Government's attacks on Northern Ireland. Borrowing from Outta Control: Paper of the Belfast Anarchists, the record sleeve/poster details the atrocities of prisons in which "political criminals" are locked up for speaking out against the unjust, violent sectarian state which has long ignored outcries from its inhabitants. The sleeve/poster pictures those who died in peaceful demonstrations and hunger strikes, specifically, the "H Block" hunger strike. "Britains role in Northern Ireland, both on the streets and in legislative methods is clearly repressive and designed to keep in check a rebellious section of the population...which seeks to take control of and responsibility for its own future.
AS LONG AS POPULATIONS ARE UNABLE TO TAKE A UNITED STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION, THEY WILL REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO IT.

I've been digging through some old singles recently so I thought I'd post a few up. The "Beware Sleeping Dogs" EP was released on Crass Records in 1982 and rather than being your standard anarcho-punk this is definitely more of an experimental style. The Sleeping Dogs were the first American band on Crass Records though the American singer/poet Annie Anxiety had released the Barbed Wire Halo EP in 1981 (Cheers to SP for reminding me). Although this EP was released over 25 years ago the lyrics are still valid today covering subjects like American imperialism and war.

Okay then... here's an album from a true eccentric. Ivor Cutler was a singer / poet / musician / writer / oddball from Glasgow in Scotland. This album was originally released in 1974 and even though I've heard a few of his other albums this is the one I know best. It contains such classics as Fremsley, I Believe In Bugs & If All The Cornflakes. Let's be honest, this isn't the kind of thing you'll be listening to everyday (respect to you if you do tho :) but every once in a while it's a lovely thing to hear.
There's a full discography/bibliography at his wikipedia page. I won't show the full track list here as there's 45 songs, view them here.

This post is to wish my mate Leon a happy birthday :)
Here's a copy of the Five Day Rain album (Leon's dad was the keyboard player). This was originally released in 1970 and is one of the best 60s-style (hippies ;) albums you've never heard.
Five Day Rain were basically a studio band. They never toured or did any gigs but spent their time with Homegrown Music writing songs either at Grahams cottage or in the studio. The line up was Graham Maitland (keyboards/organ/Mellotron), Rick Sharpe (lead guitar), Clive Burgess (bass) and the drummer who’s name was Kim (apparently). Added to this line up was John Holbrook who was another engineer at IBC at the time of the recordings.

(following text from phrockblog.blogspot.com)
This band formed in late '68 as Iron Prophet, a heavy trio comprising Rick Sharpe, Clive Burgess and Dick Hawkes. They changed their name to Five Day Rain in early 1970 with the arrival of Graham Maitland. This is one of the rarest UK albums; just 15 copies of this album were put out but soon after someone circulated 'white label' copies of it so beware of these. The album was recorded at IBC Studios in Portland Place, London, during 1970. Some of the best albums and singles of the 60's and 70's come out of there but sadly the premises are now offices. Brian Carroll and the legendary engineer Damon Lyon-Shaw produced and mixed for their own 'HOMEGROWN MUSIC' company. Brian started as a disc cutter there, and cut the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Small Faces, and 'Live at Leeds' for the Who. Damon engineered all the major LP's of the late 60's and early 70's for everyone from The Who, The Small Faces, Status Quo, Cream and the Rolling Stones & albums such as Tommy and Farewell Cream. The incredibly talented Sharon Tandy was on backing vocals, along with Lynn Maitland (hello Leon's mum :), as were Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell & Dan Peek from the band America.

This is a collection of music by the Butthole Surfers. They've covered a wide spectrum of musical styles from the standard alternative rock, sounding like R.E.M. right through to the bizarre and experimental, sounding like... well... only The Buttholes really and that is something you have to admire and respect. This best of will give you a bit of all their different sounds so there should definitely be something you like. It will all fit nicely onto a CD and I've included some covers if you want to burn yourself a copy.
(following text from wikipedia)
The Butthole Surfers are an American alternative / punk / experimental / drug crazed rock band formed by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in San Antonio, Texas in 1981. The band has had numerous personnel changes, but the core lineup of Haynes, Leary, and drummer King Coffey has been together since 1983.
The Buttholes are best known for their chaotic and disturbing live shows, black humor, a sound that incorporates elements of punk rock, psychedelia, heavy metal, noise rock, and electronica, as well as their use of sound manipulation and tape editing. The Buttholes have a well-reported appetite for recreational drugs, particularly psychedelics, an evident influence on their sound.
