Olho Seco

I guess some albums change peoples lives in profound ways, and I know I've posted a lot of rants and raves about the "Welcome to 1984" comp in the past, and this is another related post. Ive spent years tracking down most of the output of the bands on the comp, and i have almost succeeded. Here is a chronicle of another band whom out of all of the bands on that comp, Ive loved most. Olho Seco formed in San Paulo in 1980, with members of Colera. I don't know much about them other then they still play, there from Brazil and they are AWESOME! There's a good link at Kill From The Heart.

2. Castidade

Olho Seco - Havera' Futuro? CD (Gravacoes Sem Qualidade Records, 1997)



















I dont have a lot of info on this CD, it apears to be a re-recording of a bunch of early stuff. Frankly, I think this fucking rocks and everyone needs to have a copy, that is if you can find it, not sure if its in print, but I found a copy on Soulseek.

Ive always had a big thing for Scandinavian and Finish thrash and hardcore. I think M.R.R.'s "Welcome to 1984" exposed me to some amazing shit, Mainly Rattus, The Bristles, The Headcleaners( or HUVUDTVÄTT as they are also known). It was as always downhill from there. The First offering is something that Ive been on the lookout for a good long while is the AMAZING "Beating The Meat" comp. It was released on the Xcentric Noise label (who also put stuff out by the Cult Manix, The Headcleaners, and Born BC). It features 25 awesome tracks by Olho Seco, Rattus, Colera, The Neos, Upright Citizens, Most of which Ive never heard before.
