Moral outrage - Demo (1991)

Tracklist:
01. The seventh power
02. The next generation
03. Stay in the closet
04. When no one walks in fear
05. We still stand
06. Nothing is for free
07. Theme song

This is the band that would later become Stormwatch and even later on Combat ready.
Since this band was only in effect for about a year and all of their songs later became known as Stormwatch songs i will skip the band introduction on this one.
The demo is just that. A demo. Bad quality and songs that would later be released in better versions. Only 1 track (Nothing is for free) that didnt make it for the 1993 Stormwatch release.
Nothing for PC-punks.

The mad hatters - The one...The only... (1990)

Tracklist:
01. No time to loose
02. Bad attitude
03. Do you remember
04. Kids aint got no hope
05. Key to freedom
06. Coolskin flix
07. Eye of doubt
08. The mad hatters
09. Maxwell Thomas
10. Wildcats
11. Right or wrong

(Update 17 July 2010: Jimmy "Skinny" Emond joined this band as a vocalist after leaving the band The Uprise in 1988. Thanks to Spike Edge former creator of Skinhead Power zine for the info.)

Not in any way an Oi! band even if they might have thought so themselfs. The one...The only... American punkband who thought mixing The cure with with early 77 punkrock was a great idea.
This record was the one...the only they ever released (no shit!) and it was released by Rock-o-Rama records (they released nazi-bands such as Fortress & Sturmtrupp to so why not this crap).
About one and a half ok tracks on the whole LP (No time to loose & wildcats).
What i cant understand is how the people behind Us of Oi! Vol.1 could use one of their songs.

Chapter 21 - Ashes 7'' (1998)




Tracklist:
01. Ashes
02. Lollapaloser
03. Days gone by




Second and last Ep from Chicago based Chapter 21.
First track is about a girl that got raped and the ashes of a life that remains afterwards.
Second track is a middlefinger to MTV and all other popularculture and trends.
Last and best track is about the old skinheadscene and friends of the band.
This band sounds so damn tight i cant understand why they didnt release a full record.
Well if you want more of Terry's bass-playing check out The Templars later recordings.
10/10

Chapter 21 - United in anger 7'' (1997)

Tracklist:
01. United in anger
02. Our life

Released by Vulture Rock in 1997.

Group from Chicago that had Perry Templar from Templars playing bass. They only released 2 Ep's back in the late 90's
The group-name is a pointer to chapter 21 of the book Clockwork orange. When it was released in America they removed it from the printing. The chapter was an alternate ending where the main character matured and grew tired of violence and drugs. I have no idea why they removed it?
Ep features 2 strong tracks in mid-tempo about life as punk/skinhead and being outcasts of society.
9/10

Anti-heros rare and missing songs


Tracklist:
Dead inside
Im an anti-hero
Six-pack daze

All 3 tracks are great and its some of those tracks that most bands would put out on a b-side compilation but now you have me instead.
Most known song is Im an anti-hero and it is a cover of the old Skrewdriver song Antisocial (from the days when Skrewdriver carred more about punkrock and having fun then "jewish conspiracy" and fictional nordic gods).
This song was their opening act when they performed live.
This version also slanders "the fat nazi piece of shit" from the 98 movie American history X.
The story behind the hate is the fact that the company behind the movie asked Anti-heros if they could use a poster and some songs in the movie. They turned the company down but when the movie was released they put the Anti-hero logo as a tattoo on "the fat nazi piece of shits" arm.
Lawsuits where sent, filed and the producers had to digitally remove the tattoo from all scenes.
Much respect to the band (hopefully they made some money out of it to).

(Update 25 Sept 2009 i changed the title to rare and missing instead of unreleased since both dead inside and six pack daze was on the original-original dont thread on me album. // Thanks Elvis)

Anti-heros - Underneath the underground (1999)

Tracklist:
01. More stupid than stupid
02. Phoenix program
03. NLC
04. Im true
05. Matt & me
06. Red and white and black and blue
07. Rich people don't go to jail
08. World war 1.3
09. Sunset limited
10. Election day
11. Truck stop toilet
12. Underneath the underground
13. Im true (radio edit)

Anti-heros last record released by GMM records and produced by no other then Lars Frederiksen from Rancid.
Their most commercial and mature album released. Also the most political one.
This album has a more streetpunk sound to it mostly thanks to the new drummer Mark McClusky.
Best tracks are Im true, World war 1.3, Election day & Red and white and black and blue.
Its now 10 years ago since they released an album but i still havnt given up hope to see some new material.
8/10

Anti-heros & Blanks 77 - Split 7'' (1997)


Tracklist:
01. Anti-heros - Truck stop toilet
02. Anti-heros - At the edge
03. Blanks 77 - I dont wanna be

Their first split record. Released by Radical Records in 1997.
Not the tightest tracks by Anti-heros on this one. Blanks 77's side is way better and like the name suggests they deliver pure old-school punk of the 77-era.
Worth to get for mostly for the fact that this is the only record that you can find Anti-heros At the edge.
