And now, something a little different as I think I need to take a break from the exhausting rants and lengthy comments. Let's say that I feel uninspired right now.
As you know, I love doing compilations revolving around a specific vibe, theme and context. I think they are not only fun to listen to and didactic but can also provide an accurate sense of a particular punk sound, in this case my beloved old-school anarchopunk.
The compilations that will make up this series are actually not the first ones dealing with anarcho bands as there are no less than five others that you can find on Terminal Sound Nuisance's youtube channel (here), three reflecting the darker, gloomier side of anarchopunk and two including exclusively female-fronted anarcho songs.
The new compilations will keep exploring similar shores from the broader anarchopunk world, but deeper and with a punkier (but still catchy) approach.
This is the first one, entitled For There is Light as a reference to the last song The Mob wrote in the 80's which adequately concludes the compilation. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave comments if you know more about these obscure bands (some of which I know virtually nothing about but would be delighted to).

Fantasic Comp thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff mate! thanks for sharing the obscure knowledge
ReplyDeleteare you still uploading tunes , i miss your comps
ReplyDeleteThanks. The thing is that they take a lot of time and work to do and youtube often rejects them (especially the UK anarcho ones). I might do some crust-oriented ones this year though.
