The Final Piece

As all of you readers out there know that The Upright Citizens are one of my favorite punk bands EVER and the best from Germany. I posted forever ago a partial discography from these guys and I now have returned to finish the job! I was mainly missing stuff from the later discography and I have now found them. 


Upright Citizens - Farewell EP (Self Released 1988)

This was one of the final EP's and was self released in 1988. I don't have much info on this as far as pressing amounts, but it was also pressed on a mini CD single as well with two other songs (This is the vinyl rip, I dont have the CD, But if anyone else does, let me know!). 


1. Farewell
2. L.I.P.
3. Just Thinking Of You
CD Press included 
4. Future Dreams
5. Dead Blood

Upright Citizens - I've Got The Hometown Blues EP (Self Released 1990)

Someone posted a link to this one on my privious UC post, and this rip comes from RAT SHIT SANDWICH. Anyway, This was suppose to be a farewell live thing and was only pressed in a batch of 500. Pretty great stuff if you ask me. This is also a rip from tape and it doesnt include No Tears From Yesterday.

Upright Citizens - Upright Punx (Unknown Demo)

Not Exactly Sure about this one. This was one of those ones I picked up over Soulseek or something years ago and kinda forgot about. Its 19 songs and all covers and of somewhat mixed audio qulity. Covers from The Clash, ANL, The Angelic Upstarts to CH3 and Iron Cross.

Upright Citizens - Live Freiburg Germany 7/10/1984 (Live Cassette)

I cant remember where I found this one either but its a killer live set from 84. 17 songs and all killer. Sorry, I didn't tag the tracks all the way. I also have like two other cassettes that need to be split into individual tracks and I'll try to post those soon! Also, I know I am missing an EP, so If anyone has a copy the Underground CD EP PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Also, I am searching for the original Rude Records mix of the Open Ears.... LP.

Review: H.R. - Hey Wella

Human Rights is back and this album kicks ass! Its pretty straight forward mix of punk/hardcore/rock and reggae that H.R. has been known for through out the years. I think what sets this apart is a straight up nice production value that can be appreciated. The only issue is the disjointed nature of the album as a whole. The Reggae tends to be the strong point on the album, and the rock parts remind me of I Against I era Bad Brains, not great, but good none the less. Over all a four out of five in my book. Pick it up while you can.

E-zine

So about nine or ten months ago I started working on an e-zine with no real ambition. I worked on fancy graphics and all this other crap and then with the birth of my daughter, I somewhat abandoned all plans.However, I worked hard on that thing so, I'm going to continue what I started and release things in pieces. I think my goal when I started the zine was to find bands from out of nowhere and bring them to the western world. Like, case in point, who knew that there are punk bands from Uzbekistan? Or that China has a thriving oi! scene? Im also going to work on the format a little bit, seeing as how courier is kinda a pain in the tookis to read. OH! and I almost forgot, we are android compatible now! So you can browse the blog and download the tunes directly to your Android device. God bless technology!
Another thing in the works are the upload of Where The Wild Things Are comp series originally put out by Sabbel fanzine from Germany in the late 90's or mid 2000's. I have been unable to find the complete series as of yet, but I will be posting them soon! Anyway, thats all for now kiddies!

Occupy Wall Street.....From Protest to Resistance

When we live in this world were the poor become more so and the rich get richer, we need to stand our ground against the tyrants and remember to resist and exist. The Occupy Wall Street movement is profound. We need to eliminate this system of class based warfare of the rich vs. the poor and middle classes. The reaction has been absolutely absurd, both in the media(Skewed) and the Police (Cases of police brutality), and hopefully the resentment that is driving these people to react will ride this wave to something more profound and deeper. This country is fucked, well, the world is basically fucked as long as the "1%" run the world as autocratic kings and queens of industry and business. The one percent are turn America into a third world country based solely on the amount of their greed. Unionization is at an all time low, Unemployment at an all time high; This is not what our founding fathers envisioned when they built this country. This is not what I want for my country and the misery and suffering it has brought to the world around us is sick and sad. Just look at the bullshit with the world bank and how they are systematically destroying Africa and the rest of under developed countries world wide, or how BP dumped millions of gallons of oil into the Golf Of Mexico and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Its ironic how so many people are living hand to mouth in America and the government gives billions of dollars to corporations who's poor management resulted in the loss of billions of dollars and the home market crash which disadvantaged millions of people. Or the greatest nation on earth can leave so many people below the poverty line without any form of assistance, whether it be medical coverage, housing support or food stamps because they make too much, but yet can barely make their bills? Or they tell ya to get an education or else you wont be able to get a job, so people are extorted into taking student loans, than after pissing away time and getting into debt, cant get jobs anyway? It's time for a change and they need to know this, we need to let it be known and I hope regardless of politics, that we can all stand in solidarity and say "WE DON'T NEED YOUR SHIT". Thank you America and Goodnight. https://occupywallst.org/
