EIIITGIIIALWelcome to issue 6 allryou punky readers.The

" _: first thing you will have noticed is the priceof this zine as now gone up to E1.60.Ican hear

: all the zine editors sharpening their knives,_ possibly Iwill get a backlash for this but

- thats the risk I'm prepared to take.Just likemost things in New Labour's Britain the photo¢°PYiH8 costs have gone up from 5p a sheet to7p a sheet so it left me with no alternativebut to put the price up or else this zinewould have bit the dust.Anyway Ihope it doesn'tspoil your enjoyment too much.

I will be bringing out issue 7 around aboutNovember time.I've had to sacrifice an issue tocope with the recent rise in photocopying costs,but I'll make sure its another top issue likethis one.From next issue I will be charging 50pfor every advert printed in this zine,or two 1stclass stamps would do as Ialways need stamps for

the amount of mail I answer.I guess you could say the reality factor is kicking in.Sadly quite a few

D.I.Y punk zines and mail order distros do seem to be calling it a daybecause of rising costs which is ashame,we still need more printed.zines tokeep the scene alive.Though in an interview with Peter Don%:Care'S'NihiliSmOn The Prowl'website I mentioned youngsters who get into punk might only dowebsite zinesbmmause it cuts out the costs of doing a printed zine.The waymodern technology is going in another 5 to 10 years printed zines maybe athing of the past,but I certainly hope not as its always good to flickthrough a paper format zine as opposed to a comPut°T $¢Tee"iAt least Youdon't get square eyes unlike looking up at a screen non stop.It certainlywould not be good news for anyone who suffers from pgepilepsy because they cannot sit in front of a Slogcom utor screen for more than 5 minutes or the bright '@Efi5h' F3lights canbring on a fit.I know this from working ’ “Mgwith people in the past who had epilepsy and seen them ‘have a fit after spending too much time in front of a(computor screen

Well I shall get off my soap box now and leaveyou all to get on with reading the rest of thiszine.

A unlike other punk contemparies he always seemed to be one of the most sincere and togetherindividuals in the early years of punk.He alwaysfound time to talk to fans and people alikeinterested in his views and opinions on anynumber of subjects.He was possibly the'Thinking

i resented most of his life.He did'nt1 turn into a stuck up ex public

I schoolboy toff and look down onthose less fortunate than himself,instead he chose to championthe cause of the underdog.Possibly the death of his older Abrother David,who committed suicide in his late teenage years l

d ban een a member of the National Front,helped shape the radical§ left wing views Joe later went onto form and express in many of his lyricsduring his Clash years and later in his solo work

After being disillusioned with all the early70s Art Schools had to offer,Joe set off forpastures new during the Pre Clash years.He formeda number of bands like the Vultures,lO1 All Stars,101 ers'znuiplayed a major part in the early 70sLondon squat scene and could often be foundbusking on the London Underground going under thename of Woody,then changing it to the more familiarJoe Strummer.Ihough Joe,will most fondly beremembered when thrashing away at his guitar stringsuntil blood was drawn during his early live manic

LAST GANG IN TOWN(THE STORY + MYTH OF THE CLASH) iBy MARCUS GRAY ( 4th ESTATE)

this book which I bought back in the mid 90s.Though arecently revamped version has hit the bookshops Thisbook contains 16 chapters and 504 pages and is quite

Since the death of Joe Strummer,I decided to re-read

a lengthy read,it also weighs a ton.It's not an officibiography but features alot of indepth analysis on theClash including each band members pre—Clash years andfamily backgrounds.Though onething that does come across inMarcus Gray's writings is how1mufi1 he likes to criticise theband for their middle classbackgrounds and not so fourth—-coming about their realaspirations.According to Gray it was manager BernieRhodes who instigated the radical political side of THE WAY THEY WEREthe band and often influenced the bands early lyricslie also goes on to say Rhodes only formed the band out of spite to out dohis chum rival Malcolm McL2nxn1 were publicity was concerned

One criticism I do have of Gray is its alright slagging people off anddestroyingthe great Clash myth you canlt just rely on old interview quoteswhich appeared in N.M.E,Sounds and Melody Maker as proof it would have beenbetter if he had interviewed all the original band members instead of bandassociates.Gray comes across as self pretentious and mocking in places ashe sharpens knives and dissects the Clash myth.I bet Gray has a few skeletonsin his cupboard.No ones perfect,but thats Yanks for you

Pula-Istra-Croatia)

This punk band was founded on 2 february 1981 and it’s members have not changed since l985:Tusta-Vocals,Sale Veruda-Guitar,Dr.Fric-Bassand Ptica-Drums.The group became widely popular in l987,after winning the first place in the then Federal Youth Festival in Subotica,among some 300 otherbands.After Subotica the doors opened for them and they started performing in Switzerland,Germany,Hungary and Italy,when the famous incidenthappened in Reggio Calabria,at the Mediterannean countries Festival.The carabinieri (Italian police) then interrupted their p6l’fOl‘I'l'l3l'lCC of theBandiera Rossa and almost caused an intemational incident.The band got to the ‘international politics’ column of many daily newspapers.After 2 cassettes and 3 singles for ‘Slovenija’ from Koper,this best ‘compact’ club band,as they were once called by V.Stakic,released their firstalbum ‘Bolivia R ‘n’ R for the independent German label ‘Incognito Records’ (Jan l990).That year there were many great gigszone was withD.0;A in Slovenia and the other one was a sold out gig at the ‘Duro Dakovic’ club in Zagreb.This hellish performance in ‘Duro’was later releasedby ‘Bonaca’ on video cassette.The next and so far best selling LP called ‘Mi smo ovdje samo zbog para’-‘we are here only for the money’(May 1990) was released by‘Helidon’ from Ljubljana.The LP has a cover of a well known anti-fascist workers song ‘Bandiera Rossa’.The release of the next album ‘Glupostje neunistiva-Stupidity is indestructible’ was almost made impossible by the breakdown of Yugoslavia.Anyway,at’ter some delays the album wasreleased in 1992 by the same label.The new cha ter be 'ns with the renewal of coo eration between the band and the label ‘Primitive Glasbic’ from Koper that continued where theP E1 P‘Slovenija’ label had stopped(both labels have the same character in the background ,the old prick Boris Furlan).The first result of the cooperationwas a CD/MC ‘Tako je govorio zaratusta’-‘Thus had spoken Zaratusta’,that was the first CD of KUD Idijoti and any band fi-om the Pula rockscene.The year 1994 was a markedly concert year that took this band on tours in Germany and Switzerland,on Euro Woodstock in Budapest and for thefirst time to Macedonia.But the band’s favourite gig and maybe gig of their career was the concert in the crowded ‘Tivoli hall’ in Ljubljana,on 10"‘October l994,when KUD Idijoti played with The Ramones.1995 started their next project CD ‘Istra ti materina’.That was a joint venture of the KUD Idijoti and the band from Pula called Gori UsiWinnetou and their legendary leader Franci BIaskovic,an artist,poet,rocker,philosophenmystic,driver,fieak,a jolly country man.The KUD Idijotireleased the material through ‘Primitive Glasbic’,but the local radio (Radio Pazin) prohibited the CD immediately.The reason for the prohibitionwas the song ‘Turbo Cattolieo’ which,according to Radio Pazin was insulting,mentioning the Pazin inquisitor.It was not the first time,because theband had already been prohibited on HTV-Croatian Television.The intervention of certain members of HGU-Croatian Music Association alsoprohibited them on radio programs,even their paid radio commercials,the sword of censure and prohibition has definitely struck upon the band afterthe interview given to the opposition weekly magazine Feral Tribune (no.5l9/l995).The KUD Idijoti has immediately been prohibited on thelocal radio (Radio Pula ),it has been cast out from the regional daily newspaper Glas Istre,and the lead singer was threatened with a bomb by anunidentified civilian in the town centre.All this did not prevent the release of the latest album that is now in fi'ont of you: MEGAPUNK .16 new songs,l6 new reasons to fight thepuritans.Always forward,Never backwards.

R KUD Il)IJOTIWHAT DOES KUD IDIJOTI MEAN IN ENGLISH '2 J

1'

KUD means Culture Art Society and IDIJOTI means idiots.Our name is a terrible fucking jokereally.

WHAT BANDS WERE YOU INFLUENCED BY WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED ‘?

ernEropeknowaboutepunlrscefi‘omCro mPua,Croatiaareworthsee'ng.Ifirstthem'n Repubicandtheyweretruymagic.Am'ghtysoundCroatianandEngish.Everyoneseemedtoenjoyth2.TontroéiucethbandtothepuntersIaskedafewquestionsaea.

When I was young I was listening to Black Sabbath. When I heard The Ramones, The Vibrators, TheStranglers and Sex Pistols I became a punker. It was really what I wanted and needed-explosive andmighty.

WHAT WAS 'I'I-IE SCENE LIKE IN CROATIA THEN AND WHAT IS IT LIKE NOW ?

In Yugoslavia these days punk is incredible, So many bands. I saw my first punk gig in Pula10.10.78. The players ofthe band ‘Problems’ were one year older I was.

WHAT DO YOU SING ABOUT?

We sing mostly about life and our lyrics come from life, society and political bullshits

WHERE HAVE YOU PLAYED SO FAR? JG

We toured the whole ofthe former Yugoslavia. We also travelled to Hungary, Switzerland, Germanyand last year we went to the Czech Republic.

fl) CiisFirstly its attitude. You can play music but don't have to be a good musician. It is also riot and there is

a b' for an bod who wants to lay music. Some 20 years ago I hard punks dead. And at theW

18 SP3“ Y Y Psame time millions ofpunk bands are giging all over the world. Who is right? . Ifpunk is dead whenwas the funeral and where is the grave. Iwould gladly lay flowers there.

I-I WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR BETWEEN SERBIANSAND CROATS? -

No real reason. The war was started by 2-3 people and they used millions as their weapons. Same asAdolfHitler in WWI 1.

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?

We have a new album released. Its called ‘Remek-djelollvlaster piece’ And we have almost completedour next album. Afier that we will see. Playing in the band is our choice so nobody knows how long wewill be playing , Adios Amigos. Thanks for the interview. R

12. Are you a four-piece or a five-piece ? Who's the guy who gets onstage with you halfivay through the set andstarts singing ‘?we are a 4 and a halfpiece. Huib does not contribute to the band musically or lyrically, but he brmgs in a goodatmosphere. So he joins us on stage for a few songs. And besides that he always brings drugs along, so thats worth alot hehehe we wouldn't be us without him.

Stanley’s mackem punky crew certainly get about.Their latest album has been released on a Finnish label,Hell’s Tone,which some might say could’nt bemore appropriate with Barse’s ever growing notoriety of upsetting the holier than thou P.C .Brigade,with their school boy toilet humour and carry on typesniggers behind the bike shed antics.Quick snogs and sneaking a crafty fag is the order of the day with these boys.This album is an improvement on theirdebut release ‘Negative Reaction’ and with new guitarist in tow Wayne Damage,Andy Anxiety(Annie’s younger brother possibly ??) and Gash Flaps theboys are bursting with 77 style safety pin punk rock energy and nods towards bands like early Buzzcocks,Eater and Acme Sewage.Tracks featured here include ‘Sectioned’ ‘I Hate Amerikkka’ ‘No Style’ ‘Govemment Establishment’ ‘Eyes of Murder’ ‘Marriage Wrecker’ ‘Sewer Loveand ‘Bail Out’.Quite impressive for the Stanley mackem’s latest release.Maybe they will be penning their own song about Matthew Kelly soon (Snigger ) .CONTACT Browny c/o Barse,5 Pentlands Tce,Soiith Stanley,Co.Durham,DH9 6QJ Barse@dg_rtgged.psnet.co.u.k. or htr@.lprhardcore.net.

' ' ' ' ' ' le ‘D 'tated’ h' hduring their early years when they played at their most extreme and created a certain amount of excitement with their debut sing ecapi w icreminded me of a heavier and faster sounding Damned.ln fact l’ll go as far as saying Bones’s guitar playing is similar to ‘Love Song’.Conflicts Oddy alsoappears on the second single ‘I.O.U’ and debut album ‘Dem Bones’(Featured here)on bass. ‘Seeing Through My Eyes’l2 inch shows Oddy taking over

S dl nl tra k is taken from thevocal duties from departed Nobby (Only briefly)as well as doing bass duties.He certainly had his work cut out. a_ y,o y one ce. .Wh ?We want the full works.Instead you get 4 tracks from the F.O.A.D album tacked onto the end of the COITlpII3lll0l‘l.SlII‘3flgC ?P YTracks include ‘Decapitation’ ‘Problem’ ‘Liquidated Brain’ ‘Crucifix’ ‘l.0.U’ ‘Fight the Good Fight’ ‘Wealth Rules’ Iron Maiden’ ‘Civil War’ and

Z I can remember this album coming out in late 89,after the god awful ‘Religion is Responsible’ I2 inch which I purchased earlier that year and beinghorrified at the Bones moving further into a rather dodgy thrash metal direction.After purchasing this CD from Saddle Records,I’m afraid my views haven'tchanged.l squirm every time I hear Bones playing those complicated metal work-outs on his guitar and solo riffs.NO !AARGH ! It makes you wonder whatBones was on when recording these songs.Why on earth he tumed his back on his bands previous breakneck Hardcore Punk sound.God knows ! As thatsaying goes “If it’s not broken,Don’t mend it” ! I reckon this applies to this over blown thrash metal album.lt owes more to Metallica,than Napalm Deathand that’s were this album went wrong and disappeared up it’s own arse !! I _Tracks include ‘Stitched Up’ ‘The Fix’ ‘Propaganda’ ‘Wasted Nation’ ‘Limited Greed’and ‘Sick World’.If anyone’s stitched up,then it’s us,as Broken Bones had the last laugh at our expense. c (MITCH)‘"~i?i’$~‘**S

BROKEN BONES-WITHOUT CONSCIENCE CD (RHYTHM VICAR)

=

,; - Now lets retum to the present and the recent reformation of the Bones crew.they have a new studio album out.Only two veteran Bones members remain inthe line up,Bones (Of course) back on guitar duties and Oddy (of Conflict )back on bass.I was wamed before hand to be prepared for a disappointment asthis album leans more towards the metal/Hardcore side.But guess what,l like it !It’s a vast improvement on the over indulgent wanky metal ‘Stitched Up’*’..album.In fact,the Bones put the ultra-trendy Nu-Metal scene to shame.This album should be high up in the Kerrang charts and selling by the bucket_

it loads,But this is 2003 and old Hardcore U.K. Punk acts aren’t hip anymore,Unlike their U.S.A counterparts.The Bones remind me of Agnostic Front in some‘-

R i of the songs which isn’t_a bad thing.Tracks on offer include ‘Second Seizure’ ‘Cleansing’ ‘Random’ ‘State of Mind’ ‘C.O.U.K’ ‘Entity’ ‘ Hidden Corner’ and ‘Jacob’s Ladder’.

i i If you want to branch out into the world of modem day Hardcore sound check this CD out,But if your into Street Punk,then I suggest you don’t as this album- t be to our taste (MITCH )JA won y .- "1-*

CHAOS U.K/RAW NOISE-MAKING A KILLING split CD (1/INYL JAPAN 1

I e_ This split album was originally released back in 92.The vinyl version now sells for a pricely sum on the record collectors market.Chaos U.K start theproceedings with six tracks,most of which are cover versions of The Partisans ‘Police Story’ (A great rendition featuring Gabba on vocals) The Lurkers ‘AintGot a Clue’ and The Ruts ‘Society’,both of which are equaly good renditions .They also perform three of their own renditions including Gabba’s highlyamusing anti -rap song ‘C-Rap’,songs ‘Speed’ and ‘Through with You’are played in the true Chaos UK trademark angy,fast spirit.=*"

i

Raw Noise is the second band on offer here.If you don’t already know this band included members of Extreme Noise Terror,Dean Jones and Pete Hurleynamely.Yes they’re very noisey and thrash away with Discharge type guitars and mean business,added with those scarey monster grunty growl vocals you’rein for a treat.These songs are guaranteed to give the average baseball capped trendy a well earned migraine.HA l HA !And rightfiilly so,after making us

4-=..; --

J endure those god awful rap/hip hop songs.I think most of these Raw Noise tracks appeared on the John Peel show in session in the early 90’s.'Ihere’s an I 2impressive cover version of Anti Sect’s ‘Brighter than a 1000 swords’,plus their own compositions like album title ‘Making a Killing’ ‘Waste of Life pt2’ I

‘ ‘Communication Breakdown’ ‘Legal Murder’and ‘Stench of Death’(I’m sure Professor Gunter Von Hagens would like this song,he could use it for his ‘Body Ii Worlds’ exhibition) . y

urns DISTILLERS-SING SING DEATH HOUSE co (EELLCAI) If you don’t already know Mrs Armstrong (Brodie to her mates) front The Distillers.Shes an Aussie punkette who like her husband Tim, has a charismaticpiersonality and spits out all her punk songs with a lot of venom and aggression. Unlike most watered down cross Atlantic latter day happy-go-punk bands.With her gniff gutteral vocals Mrs Armstrong declares war on all those wussies who dare question her actions and stand in her way. I’m surprised she doesn’tget a few saw throats with her deep throat vocals. She makes Courtney Love in comparison sound like Mickey Mouse.With the aide of her fellow bandmembers, plays punk with an energetic raw approach, not dissimilar to a certain band called Rancid.Must admit, at first I approached this CD with a certainamount of sceptisism, but I was pleasantly surprised with the compositions on show here including ‘Sick of It All’ ‘The Young Crazed Feeling’ ‘Bullet and theBullseye’ ‘City ofAngels’ ‘Hate Me’ and ‘Desperate’ .Give this CD a shot.Possibly young Brodie AKA Mrs Armstrong will become the female/Punkette voice of the 00’s generation.

DISORDER-WE’RE STILL HERE CD

init

IYes this veteran Bristol cider punk outfit are back with vengence.Taff,the only surviving member from the bands ‘Perdition’ (82) period.Thankfully,unlike Chaos g\,U.K they show no sign of letting up or mellowing out.Besides it wouldn’t be Disorder without fast pumping thrash-arama guitars going at full speed down the 3F-Ml.This time around I think vocal duties are shared jointly by Taff and Chris Wheelchair (who also bashes away at his drumskins like no tomorrow ).You should, hear Disorder’s rendition of the Bus Station Loonies ‘Save our Cider’ (Mr Wheelchairs other band )they’ve cranked it up full speed ahead.You can imagine loads of idrunk punx pogoing and slamming to it.Though the stand out songs here have to be ‘Kamikaze’ and ‘Trap’,both of which I reckon will become Disorder anthems

5 like ‘Life’ and ‘Rampton song’ .Other songs on this CD include ‘X-Casualtyeee’,‘General Election’ ,‘Living Dead’ plus two more renditions of ‘Trap’ and ‘ Kamikaze’.Great CD.Disorder are back to their best.It sounds like the band had a lot of fun recording these songs.Possibly my fave CD of 2003 ? Could be,that’s how highly Irate it. MITCH

WAll AlN’T N0 Filll{Y'l‘1\LE

On 20/h3/03 the 2nd Gulf War kicked off with the first number ofbombs hitting Baghdad.I must admit has much as I'm against thewar,Ihave been glued to the box watching all the various T.Vreports and news updates on numerious T.Vsmations.Though one

' thing Icouldn't bare to listen to was the first of many war

~%°’§>

propaganda speeches from Tony Blair.I turned the volume downT and tuned into Talk Sport radio and listened to the James Whale

show.Though what amazed me was how long it took for Blair to_ come out and show his face.Its funny how he travels around the

world and tries to sort out the problems belonging to othercountries,but can't address his own people.It later transpireshe had sneaked off to Brussels,how convenient?If a possiblebiological chemical germ warfare attack was to take place inthe U.K.do you think we could rely on our Prime Minister?Youcould just imagine him tucked up in a nice cosy bunker withCherie and the kids,whilst the rest of the population are ina state of confusion and left to fend for ourselves.

No matter how hard the likes of Bush and Blair try toconvince the world we need a war,they cank stop people opposedto the war marching and demonstrating on Anti War demos allover the world.People in the modern world are more perceptiveii . . . .and can form their own views and opinions about what theybelieve without intervention from our world leaders.Peoplearen't as naive or as innocent as they used to be years ago. 'The only way this world can change and move forward is by

L

getting together and letting their_voices be heard.Who says,direct action doesn't work?Remember the Poll Tax riots?

One story I was told by a local women concerned her 70 ‘year old father.Apparently he travelled all the way fromBlackpool to take part in london%Lfhde Park Anti War Coalitionmarch.According to her father there was between 3 or 4 millionsprotesters,instead of the alleged 1 million the tabloid pressreported.This 70 year old pensioner had previously taken partin peace demos dating back to the Vietnam War and before,possibly the early 50s C.N.D demos.So he had seen a few warsin his lifetime,not forgetting the 2nd World War.

/

One thing that has struck me about the Gulf War is therehas been no mention about the welfare of the animals in thewar.There\s a zoo in Baghdad and no doubt it has now been hitand the poor defenceless animals have been blown to bits.Awoman in my local post office said her son had been postedto fight in the Gulf.When she received a letter from her son

he told her whilst fighting in the dessert he had seenanimals blown to bits.Their dead carcasses where scatteredeverywhere.As you can imagine this does not portray a verypretty picture.None of this has been written about in thepress or seen on T.V.

I'm still very much against this war.Matters aren'thelped when some of the British soldiers and air pilotsare killed by the insensitive Yanks Friendly Fire policy.Whats all that about?Innocent civilians have also been killedthrough'Friendly Fire'policy and not forgetting I.T.N's newsJournalist Terry Lloyd.He was shot dead by some trigger happyYanky soldiers and two of his colleagues have yet to be foundI feel a conspiracy theory coming on,perhaps they weredeliberately shot because they had found out more about whatwas going on in the war and the Yanks wanted certain informationkept secret and not known to the public?

One thing is for sure this war will last more than a fewweeks,it could go on for months.Possib1y another Vietnam bloodbath?Who knows?Though'Apocalypse Now'fi1m does $PTin8 E0 mind

SINCE THEY SPLIT IN THE LATE 80’S........

FOR THE YOUNG UN’S AND OLDIES VVITH AIVINESIA ,CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF HISTORY OF WHO THEDISRUPTERS WERE.We formed in Norwich in late l980,I was mad on all those early bands-the Pistols,the Ramones etc,But I was really getting into -Crass and that whole anarchist scene.The first couple of line ups didn’t gel very well and we eventually ended up with —Paul -I_ L L __ L Greener-Guitar,Kevin Wyrner-Drums,Steve Hough-Bass and me on vocals.

! -' HOW DID THE DEAL WITH GRAND THEFT AUDIO TO RELEASE ‘GAS THE PUNX VOL 1 AND 2’ COMEI - ABOUT,ARE YOU SURPRISED/PLEASED WITH THE RENEWED INTEREST IN THE BAND. -

I Brian from GTA actually contacted me,then began a long hunt for master tapes that were scattered all over the place.I wouldn’tI say surprised,but definitely flattered. I

- i e‘ ~WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ALL AFTER THE BAND SPLIT IN THE LATE 80’S,DID YOU FORM/JOIN OTHERBANDS,DO YOU STILL SEE THE OTHER MEMBERS.Well,I ended up working in an altemative music night club that also put on bands for five years after the band split up.I triedwriting a punk novel at some point but I never got further than the first dIaft.None of us formed new bands and we kind of wentour separate ways,but I am still in contact with Paul and Kevin.I HEAR THERES A LIVE VIDEOIDVD OF UNRELEASED TRAX AVAILABLE,CAN YOU TELL US MORE

I ABOUT THAT ERE TO GET IT PRICE ETC)~ (WH ,_ . - Yeah,”Anarchy,Peace and Chips” It was filmed in 1988 shortly before we split up and originally released posthumously the I

Vfollowing year.l just had it digitally remastered with some new graphics.Its available from my address on VHS for £7.50 IncP&P.

P.M.T AND SHORT & CURLIES BUT THAT’S ABOUT ALL. IIts not as busy as it used to be,Im not sure if P.M.T and the Curlies are still together.GOOBER PATROL are still gigging and wehave a new band around called SEMTEX,worth checking out.WHAT DO YOU RECKON TO TODAYS PUNK SCENE,WHICH NEW BANDS DO YOU RATE.I find some of it a bit cringeable,especial1y that whole skinhead mentality that seeped in at some point.There is some good stuffaround though,I am a big MISFITS fan and I like RANCID,BACKYARD BABIES and the DONNAS.Some of those old guysare still putting out some good stuff to0,like JOE STRUMMER and IGGY POP.A LOT OF OLD BANDS ARE REFORMING AT THE MOMENT AND PLAYING H.I.T.S E WOULD THEDISRUPTERS EVER REFORM IF OFFERED A PILE OF BRASS,OR HAVE YOU REFORMED ALLREADY.I would personally reform if it meant doing a new record with new material but I’m not sure the others would be up for it. N

VE YOU EVER BEEN TO H I T S IN MORECAMBE OR BLACKPOOL,SOME FOLK THINKSTILL ON H.I.T.S ,HA . . ..IT’S A BIT EXPENSIVE AND OLD BANDS CASHING IN,WHILE OTHERS THINK lT’S A BLOODY GOOD

WEEKEND,WHAT D’YOU RECKON.Never been to H.I.T.S but I did go down to London for the PISTOLS gigs.lts easy to be cynical about these things and I supposethey are expensive but they were fucking great gigs,especially the Finsbury Park one.Theres bound to be problems In any scene

punk/anarcho thing was heading,like po faced preaching and political conectness gone mad,rejecting one set of rules andreplacing them with another.That straight edgething as well,never could understand that,I like a beer and a joint,maybe Pm _analysing this too muchDO YOU SEE ANY OF THE OLD 80’S NORWICH BAND MEMBERS(DEVIA'I‘EDINSTINCT,REVULSION,RETORIC ETC)WHAT ARE THEY UP TO THESE DAYS.I’m still good mates with Steve and Andy from REVULSION,They have a new _band,TI-IE CHAOTIX,Chris from RHETORICwent on to form the STEPTONES a ska band.DISRUPTERS WERE ALLWAYS CONCERNED WITH ANIMAL RIGHTSJS THAT SOMETHING YOU STILLFEEL STRONGLY ABOUT,DO YOU THINK WE’LL EVER SEE AN END TO VIVISECTION AND‘

e ~~~—- I _ - HUNTING...M.P’S KEEP TALKING ABOUT A BAN,BUT THAT’S ALL IT IS...TALK.Yeah I'm still a veggie,2l years now.I seriously doubt vivisection will be abolished,it’s an ongoingmever ending argument.Asfor hunting I think those tossers from New Labour should pull their fingers from their arses and do what they promised,FUCKlNG BAN IT.WHAT ARE YOUR FEELING’S ABOUT THE FORTHCOMING WAR WITH IRAQ AND THE WAR ONTERRORISM IN GENERAL,DO YOU AGREE THAT BY BOMBING IRAQ NOT ONLY WILL AMERICA AND

YA RECKON ITS HYPOCRITICAL OF AMERICA TO BANG ON ABOUT TERRORISTS SO MUCH WHEN THEY _THEMSELVES HAVE BOMBED DO MANY COUNTRIES OVER THE YEARS.iWell I’m certainly no fan of American foreign policy,their global corporations have done so much damage around the world,and§-1their military campaigns in Vietnam,El Salvador,Nicaragua etc,it‘s endless.But having said that I would also like to see Hussienousted.This is a hard one to get your head around.I certainly don’t have the solution.I have as much contempt for Bush as I dothose medieval fucking muslim extremists who flew those planes into the twin towers.SCUM.The world is a dangerous place.O.K LAST ONE.WI-IAT GOT YOU INTO PUNK IN THE FIRST PLACE,CAN YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST-GIG,AND AS IS TRADITION WITH 4.M.W INTERVIEWS CAN YOU TELL US YOUR TOP FIVE ALL TIME ’PUNK RECORDS.

I ‘ When I was about I3 I developed a real problem with authority,the restrictions of school life were too regimented for me,it wasalso a very boring time to be living in this county.England seemed grey and characterless,the music around at this time was alsoshit,everyone I knew was into sportfootball and cricket matches,it just seemed pointless to me,there seemed to be no wayout.Then a year or two later the punk movement exploded,it gave me a channel for my rage and changed my life totallyMy first gig was the STRANGLERS supported by SUBWAY SECT back in 19'/7,1 was a young wide eyed l5 year old back thenbut I was instant] hooked.All those early English bands played round here,THE CI_.ASH,999,SLAUGHTER AND THEYDOGS.Awes0me..My top 5 punk albums are NEW YORK DOLLS-1 st LP

This CDEP features four new songs including ‘Boring Jet 757’ (Unplugged acoustic version) ‘This Old Road’, Together We’ll Fuck the World’ and We’ll Bum in

Hell’. The Hunns remind me of early Clash sound wise, which in my books is a good think. IThis is the first time l’ve heard anything by The Revolvers (Don’t confuse this bunch with the early 90’s UK new wave distortion feedback nierchants).These Germanpunksters originate from the murky depths of darkest Berlin, But theres not goth in sight. They play 70’s style punk with a glam and fake feathered bow thrown in forgood measure. Tracks include ‘What Happened to my Attitude’, ‘Modem World’, ‘War at the Comershop’(Possibly Grange Hill Deutschland style) and ‘You Can’tChange my lift?’ ' MITCH

At last the new Conflict single is out. The A-side ‘Carlo Giuliani’ is a tribute to the demonstrator who was killed/murdered by the heavy handed Italian bullyboy riot, police on the G8 2001 demonstration.

As you can expect this song is noisy as fuck in typical Conflict fashion. Colin don’t mince words and attacks all those responsible for the G8 murder. For those ofyou with DVD or CD Rom access you also get the added bonus of seeing the video for the above song, featuring footage from the G8 demo mixed in with shots ofConflict live on stage, possibly from the London Astoria 2002 gig.This single gets my seal of approval and the video is really good. ‘A Gapping Hole’ is also featured here but sadly there’s no video to go with it. l’m sure they wouldhave plenty of footage from recent Anti-War demos and Iraqi war, including comical Ali the Iraqi information minister. You could just imagine him saying ‘Morebombs please’ as the Conflict soundtrack plays in the background.CONTACT:CONFLICT/MORTARHATE,P.O.BOX 448,ELTHAM,LONDON,SE9 ZQS w=w'y-".ctil.1.il.iCt.coii1 C(_lilll@COfifllCI.()l‘g MITCH

- " ' Green issues and environmental awareness are hardly new now in 2002 .It’s a constant debate in the papers and on T.V.There is a growth at the moment in:' lg ' I

the culture of ‘denial’.It works like thisza well known or respected scientist in the pay of the US government,BP,Shell,ICI or some similar polluting culpritspouts off their ideas that global warming is in fact a myth,a scare story or is simply being exaggerated.Therefore the excuse to continue polluting has been

provided and the multi nationals have been able to provide their twisted and distorted side to the debate.And so it continues.. . . . . . . . . . I h IdAnother problem that is often not examined is that being green and acting in an environmentally ethical way is often not fully availab e to t e wor s poorand working classes. If you are unfortunate enough to.live in an impoverished country the concerns of the environmentalists will seem an alien and farremoved issue.Survival will be your priority,not westem middle class woriies.Coming closer to home the poorer you are the less likely you are to be able toshop ethically and eat organically even if you want to.In this shitty climate low income always equates to poor quality food and other products,unless youwant to actually cut back on the amounts that you purchase.Organic food is usually and it does taste more natural although I would not always say better.But it’s also in the mind,psychologically it tastes better and if itmakes you feel all the better.PROBLEM is it is often more expensive and can be double the price of the supermarkets mass produced products.Youare therefore faced with the dilemma of lots of cheap food that will last the week or less but better for you organic f0od.It doesn’t stop there though.You maywell have seen ads for vegan shoes in fanzines or in the catalogues of distro’s.Great idea but have you seen the prices ? The same applies to naturalfhempclothing such as jeans and the ‘free trade’ produce that you can get in Tesco’s etc. It’s all more expensive,even fi"ee range eggs.We had an organic chicken I qonce and it cost £12 !Tasted great but we only bought it the once..You may have noticed,like I have,that the people we often see advising us all in apatronising manner to cat organic,shop ethically and be ‘green’ are the middle class liberals who can quite happily afford to do so.ALL DOOM AND GLOOM then ?No.It does not have to be.We can do the recycling bit i.e. tins,papers,bottles and so on.This costs us nothing but a littletime and effort.There are facilities in most areas now,even down here in comwall where we have only just heard about Geoff Hurst’s hat trick !Ok so wemay not be able to buy too many pairs of vegan shoes or organic chickens but we can still do our bit of charity stuff that does not have to involve large cashdonations that we can boast about at dinner parties with our fellow Guardian reading liberal chums.We can do a bit of voluntary for the localOxfam.Working in the shop or doing collections does actually represent a financial saving to the charity of your choice even though it is indirect.Directly interms of OXFAM I do believe that we are all actually in a position to help financially.This is because their minimum monthly donation request is for just £2!When I received a mail out with this info on I was amazed that such a small contribution would be acceptable.That’s just 4 king size Kit Kats and I waseating enough of those addictive bastards to treble the amount Oxfam wanted.I was suitably shamed and did the right thing.Tliis got me coriternplating otherways to help a little on my low budget and severely restricted fi'ee time (not at work or looking after the little ones).Go in your local Oxfam (or any othercharity shop).Today many are no longer filled with smelly old clothes that even the Undertones would have shunned.You can get birthday cards/tea andcoffee/wrapping paper/stationeiy/chocolate,Yes chocolate/loads of ideas for presents and incense sticks.In other words bits and pieces that we all need anduse regularly.VERY VERY rarely you may even find an old LP or single that an ex punk has discarded.They even have photocopiers in there and at 3 or 4pa sheet they are cheaper than the PO or newsagents.Much of BARBIES DEAD is copied,reduced and put together in Tavistock Oxfam.This particular shopis well blessed with clothing as the horrible Tory controlled locality is polluted with rich parasites in their 4x4’s who discard their old togs after one wear orwhen they go out of fashion.At least they do have some use then!The intention of the above was merely to provide a few ideas.As punks we are well aware of political issues,the injustice of capitalism and the suffering inthe third world.Often it is totally frustrating feeling there is very little we can do about this.Whilst hardly ground breaking ideas I have suggested mightencourage a few of you to at least drop in to your local Ox and buy your gran a birthday card or yourself some choc.Fellow fanzine editors can also send out Oxfam factsheets and donation requests with their zine and put one inside the pages of ones you sell directly.Writeto head office and tell them what you intend to do and they will send you some. .OXFAM,274 Banbury Road,Oxford,OX2 7BR. @LEX.BARBlES DEAD fanzine Alex,Woodhouse,The Square,GUNNISLAKE,PLl 8 9BW

CZECH PUNK FESTIVAL ANTI SOCIETY NoVIII JULY 2002-12-04

This (traditionally held in the first week of August) festival had a different venue this year.It was switched from Trutnov to Svojcice u Prelouce in EastBohemia.This venue,much used by folk bands is rain proned and 9 times out of I0 it rained when there was a gig.It was no different this time and onFriday,when a marathon 44 bands from 9 countries started to play it drizzled and occasionally poured dovm.However,with an hour delay the festivalstarted and this rain was to be the last,and unlike last year when mother nature stopped the procedures at l0.p.m Lady Luck showed organisers her betterside and punk was heard until 4.a.m _According to ticket sales there were 4500 punks camping,drinking,pogoing or mixing with each other.I arrived at 4.p.m. which meant I missed the firstthree bands and arrived just in time to hear the brilliant and I must say one of my favourite Czech punk ‘n’ roll bands EIE . I also managed to seeSlovakian neo-punks KONFLICT before mixing among the crowd and meeting members of THE VIBRATORS (My old buddies ) and also bumpinginto LOS PARALITICOS another bunch ofgood friends.LOS PARALITICOS are gigging in Czecho quite often and this time they made it here via Germany where they tasted a somewhat chaotic anddisorganised tour.According to guitarist Duncan it was “A Fucking horrible piece of shit where nothing went right".Singer Tim Scargill donned a yellowT.shirt with the black logo ‘ CUNT’ !!,They played a mixture of old and new stuff,I wasn’t disappointed. _I missed Hungarian band AURORA ,their punk with brass sound is not my cup of tea. I eagerly waited for my favourites THE VIBRATORS whonever upset me on or off stage. In their set there was one brand new song along with old anthems like ‘Automatic Lover’ and ‘Pure Mania’After Czech band ZNOUZECNOST ( who I missed gladly because I did an interview with Mensi for 4.M.W ) came the major stars of theday,ANGELIC UPSTARTS,at this stage I must admit I am not too keen on bands who have only one original member and cram in who ever is willing toplay. But both Mensi and the boys from RED ALERT were very friendly and chirpy guys so it didn’t matter.The set of Sunderland boys started with‘Teenage Warning’ to which the crowd responded inunediately.Some songs from the LP ‘Two Million Voices’ followed and the tempo almost haltedduring the songs ‘I Understand’ and ‘Solidarity’ which I didn’t like at all.It was followed by ‘I,m an Upstart’ and ‘Last night another soldier’ and that wasIll.Since I was staying with THE VIBRATORS in there hotel room I left in their van and missed the next 6 bands,but it didn’t bother me since it was 2.30a.m and I am not used to 2 sleepless nights in a row.So thanks to THE VIBRATORS hospitality I had the luxury of warm and dry accommodation,Thankyou Guys.In the morning the band went to Westem Bohemia for another gig so we said “See Ya" and I was alone,luckily next door was Duncan and the rest ofLOSPARALITICOS so I got a lift back to the I2 km distant venue,Thank you guys.It was no help so I missed 6 bands I didn’t know anyway so no big dealreally .After ZEMEZLUC who are known in England,the Germans SPEICHELBROISS came on stage but I am not a fan of their music so I spent thetime interviewing GUITAR GANGSTERSJ didn’t allow myself to miss Czech HC/Punk legends TELEX who got together only for this gig,much to thesadness of the punters,they were absolutely brilliant and the crowd responded to every song the singer sang,they were truly loved by everyone andaccording to me it WAS the highlight of the whole festival.After 2 encores they had to leave to avoid time schedule delay.On stage came another legend,this time from Slovakia-ZONA A,they are a bit dated and since their set is almost the same and I am not too keen on theirshow off singer I gave them a miss.After them Czech Ska band TLESKAC came on stage and I must admit to not being a fan of Ska,but I was pleasanlysurprised and enjoyed their set.At this time of the day it was blazing hot,the water pipes were in permanent use and unlike in the communist era when theyused to dismiss demonstrations this time they refreshed pogoing punters.I missed German band NORMA]-IL since I was helping to set the stall up forGUITAR GANGSTERS and interviewing Gene October for 4.M.W.I also gave a miss to N.V.U which is a cult band fi'om my homeland but another oneof those bands I am not too keen on so why bother. -Italian favourites THE TWINKLES arrived late due to a disasterous joumey,but their Toy Dolls like style pleased everyone and the singer was almost acopy of Olga from the above mentioned band so it was a very pleasant set. _Then T.V.SMlTH played his acoustic set,followed by ‘Gary Gilmores Eyes’ played by N.V.U and sung by T.V. himself.It reminded people of how itwas when The Adverts played.RED ALERT came next and played their best known anthems much to the delight of the audience,they were followed by another Ska band,this timefi'om France,named SKARFACE ,and after almost 30 mins gap which was needed to adjust the stage backlines etc they started their set of brilliant fimnyMadness like performance.It ticked one minute after midnight when major stars CHELSEA with Gene October came on stage.Sinister looking Gene was jumping and runningaround the stage but the crowd response was somewhat luke wann,which prompted Gene to ask them “You fuckers,Are you tired,Fucking too drunk orasleep".The set lasted one hour and the crowd got into the mood in the second part of the set.They did 2 encores which was probably the best part of theshow since classics ‘Right to work’ and ‘White riot’ were played.After CHELSEA had gone it was time for Polish Ska band SKAMPARAS which was’nt to my liking but I was very pleased with the 2 German bandsthat followed them LOUSY and THE REVOLVERS .LOUSY were very hard and fast,kinda like Motorhead,while THE REVOLVERS were a mixtureofN.Y.Dolls dressed boy's playing faster than hell punk.After them it was 4.a.m. and I was on my way home.0rganisers,Mainly Stepan Malek,Breba and Jirka Sofilkanic deserve a pat on the back since it was a fucking brilliant weekend with goat bands and agreat atmosphere.Money was raised to be donated for charity again,so everyone was happy.LONG LIVE THE PUNX !!

“Q liGENE,IF I AM RIGHT THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME IN CZECHO SINCE YOU PLAYEDIN 1993AT CLUB RADOST IN PRAGUE. I IWas it 1993 ?.I was just thinking about it.We had a difficult time getting there back then,troub1es at theborders,they they wanted our visa’s and stuff,it was a problem.No we came across the whole of Europeand only the borders .So we got to Prague and saw so many tourists,fucking tescos,Mc Donalds and Ithink”oh no,not this shit,back to the old days “(NO FIRING SQUADS TI-IEN-MITCH)DO YOU ENJOY BEING AT THE ANTI SOCIETY FESTIVAL.Yes,its great to be here seeing a whole new generation of punks,its not Anarchy in the U.K ,itsAnarchy in Prague,you know.Its really great and I love what I am doing.WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING,OR DO YOU LIVE OFF TI-IE BAND.N0,I can’t live of the band,you have to have money to pay for 1iving,so I have a job and that is litterpicking on Brighton Beach.(GENE OCTOBER,THE ECO- BEACH WARRIOR-MITCH)YOU STARTED CHELSEA IN 1976 AND NOW YOU PLAY WITH THE VIBRATORS WHOSTARTED AROUND THE SAME T]1VIE,WHAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND VVHENYOU LOOK BACK AT THOSE 25 YEARS.I don’t look back,It was then and I live now,You cantlive fiom pure fact that you were a good bandand made good records in 1976 .You still have to prove it now by doing these festivals and doing newrecords.We did 5 dates in Germany before coming to Czecho and we play for people,its their festivaland they have their idea into which they believe so we are here to play punk for them.I DIDN’T FOLLOW CHELSEA’S CAREER THAT MUCH SO I MAY BE WRONG BUT DIDYOU EVER BREAK UP AS A BAND OR HAVE YOU PLAYED NON STOP SINCE 1976.People are moving and have different lives because that is what its meant to be.There are certainthings that are beyond your control and they will happen because they are a part of you life,you knowwhat I mean.You have many lives in your life.You will meet many people,you will experience manydifferent things but its not a bad thing it is a good thing (shame Billy Idol ex Chelsea didn’t get amention) VVHEN I WAS YOUNGER I READ THAT CHELSEA WAS A VERY GOOD BAND WITHHIGH AIVIBITIONS WHICH YOU DIDN’T FULLFILL.SO DOES IT MEAN YOU ARE ASECOND DIVISION BAND TI-IEN(BEHAVE VITEK,THAT QUESTION IS A BIT NEAR TI-IEKNUCKLE-MITCI-I)Second Division ?Who told you that ?It was the fucking press and you read their fucking bullshit (OHDEAR Mr OCTOBER’S GETTING A BIT WOUND UP NOW AND HIS SPIKES HAVE BEENRUFFLED-M1TCH)No we all started at the same level and were good friends,it was only the fuckingpress that wanted to split us up and all that rubbish , you know what I mean.In those days we hadpapers like Sounds and Melody Maker and all that shit and I never talked with them and never wouldso that is probably why they labelled us as second division cos I didn’t have many friends among theBritish media.They wanted to make some bands better than the others,but honestly none of us reallycared (OF COURSE BILLY IDOL AND TONY JAMES JUM.PED SHIP TO FORM THE FARMORE SUCCESSFUL GEN X-MITCH)WHY DII) YOU START THE BAND IN 1976. 1We had nothing else to do.We had no jobs and we were bored with those big hippie bands on drugs,wewanted wanted to get rid of that shit and play what we liked and speak out ourselves.You could travelaround the world for nothing,You could get stoned for nothing,We were the lost generation with nofuture,we had nothing else to do.DID YOU HAVE ANY MESSAGE YOU WANTED TO POINT AT SOMEONE VIA MUSIC.No,At the beginning it was just a matter of getting a meal and drink for playing.Then we got thisaudience and people coming up to ask us questions ans then we realised we can use these people to saywhat we think and what we feel like and what pisses us off.HOW DOES IT WORK VVITH YOUR BAND REGARDING WRITING SONGS ,CANOTHER BAND MEMBERS WRITE SONGS OR ARE YOU THE PRIME COMPOSER.WI-IENWILL YOU HAVE A NEW RECORD OUT.We will have a new LP in November,I already have same material at home and everyone in my bandcan write,if he has something to say.HOW DID YOU GET PEOPLE TO JOIN THE BAND.Simply,went to the bar,met a mate and asked him if he can play.He said yes,I asked do you want toplay in a band and that was it,simple as that.Poor musicians are like poor chicken.(WHAT, BROUGHTUP IN BATTERY FARMS,PENS.WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY-MITCH)

at about 7.10 by my mate Dai and his wife Mel, then headed to Cardiff. It was our first visit to the MSI Club, but found it allright, got in about 8.20 and headed straightfor the bar for a much needed pint, then strolled around the venue, looked at the merchandise stall, some good punk CD’s & shirts for sale, some good music on beforethe bands too,Discharge,Pistols,X Ray Spex etc.It was about 9.30 when BEERZONE took to the stage, went straight into ‘Strangle all the boy bands’ then ‘Duncan Disorderly’ and brand new song ‘Party Animal’‘Jerry Springer’ another new one I remember was ‘Ha Ha Ha !’They also did a brilliant cover or ‘Complete Control’ and finished off with ‘Beer2:one’,A fucking 4brilliant set, the sound was clear as fuck too, which was good! RAnyway back to the bar for another pint, it wasn’t too long before FOREIGN LEGION came on, going straight into ‘Foreign Legion’ then ‘Another Day’,‘Jump’, .Valleys Mentality’, ‘Wish you were Here’, another great set from a great band, they finished with ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Where’s Johnny Gone?’their set was pretty shorttonight cos they let Beerzone do 45 minutes. Both bands got a really good response from the crowd anyway. II actually thought more people would tum up tonight but it was a good couple of hundred in so can’t complain! I do know a few people who didn’t come cos theyfeared crowd trouble, as we know what some footie fans are like, they like to ruin everything! They should realise that football is just a game (A fucking boring onetoo!).Anyway enough time to get some more pints before the main band. The MS! Is a really good venue (Expensive drink though,£2.40 a pint !) and its got a realfucking strange place to get food from, you have to go on your knees to order chips I?! (It’s a basement kitchen with a hole in the wall I)Anyway it was around midnight the COCKNEY REJECTS came on and went straight into ‘Flare and Slippers’ and for the next hour or so they treated us to a greatest

" hits collection, we had ‘Fighting in the Streets’, ‘Power and the Glory’, ‘Sitting in a Cell’, ‘Subculture’, ‘Greatest cockney rip off’, ‘Headbanger’, ‘Bad Man’ ‘I-late ofthe City’, ‘Rocker’, ‘Where the hell is Babylon?’ ‘East End’, ‘Police Car’, They did one new song, I didn’t catch the title but it was good!.The crowd was going mad toevery song with mickey boxing during and in between songs ! they looked like they were having as much fim as the crowd,they did two encores and finished with ‘OI' OI ' OI !’everyone was well knackered and drunk by the end !It was definatley the best gig I’ve been to for a while and it was good to see so many Skinheads havinga good time !Then we went to make our way back to Neath ! A brilliant night was had by all.

Punk legends The Vibrators from London gig in Czecho every year. This time they kicked off their European tour here and take in Austria, Italy, Spain, France, Germany andCroatia. Eddie as usual drove all the way from the UK by himself and I must admire him for driving the whole way, play the gig and still be fit in his 50’s.Club El Diablo waswell packed when WE-ME-NO started to play after 9 p.m.This local band is very popular and has many followers. In fact the boys claim The Vibrators as their teenagidols, this was the second time they were their support band. 'After their brilliant set unknown band AKCE Z came on stage. Two brothers on guitar and bass and a drummer drew my attention to the extent that I left the cloakroomwhere I was talking to The Vibrators and went to see what the fuck is that.Fast,furious and brilliantly played punk as fuck that made the whole audience pogo like hell and itwas a very pleasant surprise for me. A quick 40 mins set went far too quickly and it’s a shame the band doesn’t have a tape or CD of recordings yet. They are definitely aband of the future on our domestic scene.At ll p.m. THE VIBRATORS came on stage and kicked off with ‘Automatic lover’. Old classic songs were mixed with newer ones and it went down well with the crowd. 5Despite the fact that both Eddie and Knox are 56 they show no sign of tiredness or boredom. I would think the older they are the better they play. It was great to see the joy I‘they played with and the punters appreciation. Robbie Tart was great on bass, only completely forgot the beginning of ‘Whips and Furs’. It is great when this happens and the -_iperson can say “Sony about that guys”. No one really minded that. After the usual set the band went off stage but the crowd wanted more so with cheers and whistles theband was back for more encores. After that they waved goodbye and left, but the crowd shouted for more so the boys had to play another three songs. After that they went tothe cloakroom meaning not to come back but the crowd had other ideas, so the boys duly obliged and closed a brilliant gig with older numbers plus a tribute to Joe Strummer 'with ‘Cadillac’ from London Calling.I have been attending Vibrators gigs since 1994 and can say this was the best one I have seen. Knox revealed that next year he intendsto do a whole European tour with U.I(.Subs.

I Nice guys from London are certainly as popular as other notorious bands but they ddeserve a pat on‘F the back for playing true 77 punk rock.

"‘ I traced the lead guitarist-nice chap to talk-to give me some idea about the bands history... NATNEI I Well,we are all 40 ears old now and until 1988 all of us played in different bands before becomingY

Guitar Gangsters.My brother Phil plays bass and Steve is our drummer.We recorded a couple ofrecords before hitting the European venues and since l995we have been travelling to Germany andother countrys on the continent.We don’t don’t have many fiiends but everywhere we go we drawdecent crowds who like 77 old style punk.we are not hard enough for the skins and play music thatsome other punks just don’t want to listen to..SOME PEOPLE TEND TO BOX PUNK BANDS INTO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.INTOWI-HCH ONE DO YOU YOURSELF —IF ANY.We label ourselves as 77 punks with influences of The Ramones,SLF,Ruts etc.DO YOU WORK OR DO YOU MAKE A LIVING OUT OF PLAYING.

No one in punk makes a living out ofplaying.----'--'~~-~ EXCEPT THE SEX PISTOLS I GUESS.

Oh yes,We weregonna go and see the Sex Pistols before we came over but the tickets were 45 quid sowe didn’t go(I WOULDN’T EITHER AT THAT PRICE-MITCH)we all have day jobs which is theonly way we can afford to buy equipment and get on the road. _.ARE YOU A POLITICAL BAND AND WHAT ARE THE TOPICS YOU SING ABOUT. ‘ I.No,We are not political.We sing about social topics and issues which affect us in everyday life such asrelationships,fai1ure etc.We are political with a small P.(NOT WITH A LITTLE A THEN —MITCH)IN 1988 WHEN YOU STARTED DO YOU THINK YOU JUMPED ON THE PUNKBANDWAGON ALONG WITH THOSE FROM 1976.No,when we started punk was almost illegal in London,it was the most unpopular music to play but weloved it so we decided to chase the label contract and since then alls gonr quite well.HOW MANY GIGS DO YOU PLAY IN A YEAR.Wel1,we struggle a bit to get good gigs in the uk,North is quite fine but London and the South of

v '1' England are not so good.We odviously would like to play more if we could where ever we could.IS THERE A SET PRICE FOR WHICH YOU PLAY,UNDER WIIICH YOU WOULDN’T DO.No,we don’t have any set price,As long as it covers the costs we are fine,you cant play punk for themoney,you play it for joy.We played Punk Aid Benefit for nothing so as I say,we do it for whatever aslong as it doesn’t cost us the money.WHAT DO YOU THINK PUNK CHANGED.It changed art,music,attitude,fashion but politically it changed very little(WHAT ABOUTCRASS_MITCH) PDO YOU LISTEN TO ANY OTHER KIND OF MUSIC BAR PUNK AND IF SO WHAT IS IT.No,I struggle to buy CD’s from any modern bands,last Cd I bought was the one from Green Day.i A1listen to late 70’s early 80’s stuff from glamrock to MeatLoaf(MEATLOAF,YOURE JOKING,A '5 ;DEAD RINGER FOR THE FAT CLUB-MITCH) IDO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CZECH PUNK SCENE. No,I am afraid I don’t,I have some idea about the German scene but many people tell me the Germansmissed by one punk generation since they didn’t start at the same time as the British scene and theirinfluences weren’t Ramones,Ruts but the Exploited and those kind ofbands.

W no YOU HAVE A BIG FOLLOWING AS A BAND.Not in England,We rather go to Europe were they accept punk as special and a separate musicstyle.Same in America,where they accept it that way,you can even tune into punk radio there which

....-mu you cant do in the U.K.DO YOU CARE A LOT ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND YOU-TERRORISM,VIOLENCE AND SIMILAR THINGS.I would think I care as much as every parent-I have 2 kids.i care about things that affect me or annoyme such as taxes but political topics I leave others to think about.(TI—lE ANARCHO BANDSPERHAPS-MITCH)

The Aut op sy exp erienceFirst'Celebrity Autopsy'any takers?Possibly Myra Hindley

would have been the ideal candidate for ProfessorGunter Von Hagen's next project.Ironically,Hindley's funeral took place on the day of ProfessorGunter's controversial'Live Autopsy'which was filmedand later shown on Channel 4,a few hours aftertaking place at Brick Lane,East London,H0t far fr0mwhere one of Jack The Ripper's victims was mutilated,but we won't let the horrors of yesteryear spoil Iour fun,or this review.After seeing numerous interviewswith Professor Gunter,some of which Ifound amusing,especially the petrified expressions on the I.T.V.NEWS interviewers face as he discussed at length hisplastination techniques used to preserve real corpsesfor his'Body Worlds'exhibition.And seeing his recent'Anatomist'series on Channel 4,featuring video visualfootage by non other than Mick Duffield ex-Crass,Iknew what to expect.

After watching all the T.V.News reports about the'I.ive Autopsy“ like other ghoulish people,I was curiousto see how an autopsy was performed.After all death is

i*.¢5@w%@§m@mwe@&m¢£ still a taboo subject,even today in our modern world.llost people still won't talk about it and as for autopsies,well the onlyones we get to see are usually the fictional ones shown on the excellentdrama series'Silent Witness'so you expect alot of blood and gore.Theautopsy was due to be performed on.a.ex-German businessman ;5esA,;;¢;yg;;eywho was an alcoholic and heavy “smoker.He had given consentfor his body to be plastinated.H was in his 70s and had f*5\§*?r§1j”§*§been dead for 8 months,but you would'nt know it as the bodywas well preserved for the occasion. i¢@$Q@§@§fifi§%fi§s

The audience consisted of 35O people.McmH:of which had }@@@%%@@@@@gg§€;been carefully selected,though it was cheaper to 80 and seelgmgggggmgggmeg .the autopsy at £12 a throw than the recent Damned gig in §%g$%§fi$§§§%iQ§;Blackpool.Some might say it was a bargain,whilst others §§§?g%§§§§§%$@@iri dicule d the occasion and cal le d it ghoulish entertainmentand a hypelThoughd%ofessor Gunter took it all in his stridaé§%§§§%§f%§§%;.He even made a witty comment when one party pooper shouted @@@@g@@%§sgQ$%$, " I o bj ec t to yo u wear i ng yo ur hat l Show s ome res pect " .

I ' m s u r p r i s e d Ithere was nt more sniggers,but the audience remained _ reserved and tried not to show too»much emotionJThough you had to laughat some of the expressions of those watching the autopsy.One girl lookedlike she was close to throwing up as Professor Gunter and his assistantsgot to work on cutting away at the flesh after making a Yincision whichis the most common procedure performed in any U.K.post mortem.At firstProfessor Gunter made a slight mistake,possibly because of nerves as hemade the wrong incision,but it didn't take long for him to rectify theproblem.What surprised me most was how much yellow coloured fat was insidethe fella.He was fat alright and looked more than a little unhealthy,especially with that beer belly.I guess the autopsy was a good enoughreason to show what bad health or state some peoples bodies are in after- ———-

I MET STEEN AND HIS FRIENDS OUTSIDE THE WINTER GARDENS DURING A VVET AND MISERABLE FRIDAY WHICH WAS TOBE THE FIRST DAY OF H.I.T.S 2002,AS WE STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION ABOUT ALL THINGS PUNK,STEEN’S FRIEND SUNAHAPPENED TO MENTION STEEN ONCE PLAYED IN A DANISH PUNK BAND CALLED THE ZERO POINT,SO I WANTED TO KNOWMORE ABOUT HIS BAND AND THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD CHANCE AS ANY TO GET AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FROMHIM.THE ZERO POINT HAVE NOW REFORMED.THEY APPEARED IN H.I.T.S BEST EVER PUNK BANDS PROGRAMME AND WILLHAVE A COMPILATION OF THEIR MATERIAL RELEASED ON THE GRAND THEFT AUDIO LABEL BY THE TIME YOU READ THISINTERVIEW. '

CAN YOU TELL 4.M.W READERS A BIT ABOUT THE BANDS HISTORY & SINGLE RELEASES ETC.

We formed in 1979, inspired by the early U.I(. punk scene and the first Danish punk rock festival.There was tension in the air at the time,somethingbig,exciting and important was happening and we wanted to take part.We went through some line up changes but there was always:Henrik Lund(at the early stages called “Gob")and me.In 1982 Dennis joined on drums,he wasat the time with a Punk/Skin outfit called DUNDERI-IEADSDennis had been a great follower and fan for a long t1me,so he was pleased to _]O1I'l.0fl we wentas a three piece and as that we recorded the “I-IA !”E.P 'We never stopped looking for a second guitarist,but it had to be the right one,l984:Along came Jens A as tha guitarist in another punkband.Everything fitted and we asked him to join us,he agreed and I never think he looked back.In December 85-January 86 we did a European tour and played gig’s in England ,Germany and Spain.A bit later that year we recorded and released the“MURMUR” E.P.(again on our own record labe1:SPAN RECORDS)In March 1987 we desided to call it a day,and the band split up.We where at that point the oldest and longest living punk rock band in Denmark !!.Now we are standing at the beginning of the year 2003 and THE ZERO POINT are back together again.Who knows what the future will bring?DISCOGRAPHY:

-THE ZERO POINT: T.Z.P :Tape 1981.10 songs-LORTELAND:Comp.Tape l983.Boston Tea Party (Ho-Ho 01 )3 songs.-HA !:7 E.P 1983.Span Records (Span-sor)5 songs.-THE MURMUR :E.P l986.Span Recon-ds(Garn)3 songsAnd then we got some tracks on different compilation records and tapes.Best known of them is probably ROIR tapes “WORLD CLASS PUNK”release(originally issued in I984 and in I998 as a CD)

now nu) YOU GET nvro PUNK '2I was lucky enough to spend the summer of 1977 in England .I was only 14 years old and already heavily into music(Glam Rock and early I(iss,everythingthat really rocked ).I had only read about this “Punk thing” before I left Denmark,but I was eager to check it out.It turned out to be “It”.I bought some ofthe first punk records and brought them home and that was it,my life was changed forever !.There was a lot of excitement in the air at the time.Punk wasnot really defined and it was before the invention of the “Punk uniform”.When I retumed to Denmark,l started looking for more punk rock records(it took ages for them to get to Denmark)and became a regular at all the very firstpunk(and new wave)gigs in my home town ofAarhus.It was stunning

I DIDN’T REALISE THE ZERO POINT HAD BEEN GOING SINCE 1979.YOU MUST HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE PUNKSCENE?WHAT WAS THE DANISH PUNK SCENE LIKE BACK IN THE LATE 70’S AND EARLY 80’SWHERE THE ZERO POINT ONEOF THE FIRST PUNK BANDS IN DENMARK?WHAT OTHER PUNK BANDS DID YOU PLAY WITH OR SUPPORT IN THOSE EARLYDAYS?

Just to set things straightzwe have not been going ever since l979.We split in 87 and then reformed in 2002.The Zero Point was one of the first of the second wave of punk bands in Denmark.The first wave of punk consisted of bands from Copenhagen like:THESODS,NO KNOX & BRATS and from Aarhus bands like:LOST KlDS,SLIM & DREAM POLICE.The scene was filled with tension and excitement,everybody running round trying to get to know each other.Leaming to play instruments.Forming newbands.Trying to organise gigs and starting to make fanzines and art.People where working together and so was the bands.In l980,we even found a placethat was willing to put on punk gigs on a weekly basis(admission:under a pound)People and bands started to know and work with people in other parts of the country.Itseemed like everything was buzzing.Of course there was a lot of

“Disco,Disco!” is more some sort ofjam.It was recorded for a radio theatre show and broadcasted on nationwide radio.It was supposed to soundlike”the first rehearsal with a new punk band”.A guy we knew worked for the radio,he set it up.At that time Peter was in THE SODS and Kate was in TI-IE LOST KIDS.We took the opportunity to get some fiee studio time and recorded a fewmore tracks.

IS THERE MUCH OF A D.LY. PUNK SCENE IN DENMARK THESE DAYS ?DO YOU HAVE ANY PUNK FESTIVALS & MEETINGPLACES '!ARE THERE ANY DANISH PUNK BANDS WE SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR ‘I’

There is not a big scene,but it is growing again.There are no Danish punk festivals,but this year there was a hardcore festival and a couple ofyears back there was an OI! Festival here in Aarhus.In Copenhagen they have a place called”Ungdomshuset”,tliey set up punk gigs regularly .It is a quiet political correct,Anarcho/Socialist place.In Aarhus we have a club called”All hell breaks loose",they set up punk/skin gigs on a regular monthly basis.It’s made by punks & skins for punks& skins.They have been running for about 3:4 of a year now.The Aarhus scene is very much like :Punks,Skins,Rudeboys and Psychobillystogether,and that is nice.

absolute favourite newcomers from Denmark are THE GUV’NORS Their singer has been my mate and a big Zero Point follower for ages. TheyMy .play some sort of kick ass rock’n’roll/OI!/Glam(Well you know how they sound Mitch).They really rockllThen there was Anderz’s other band PRESIDENT FETCH.They have been going 15 years now and are the longest rimning punk band in Denmark.Other bands that I will recommend checking out are:TI-IE OUTFIT(OI!),BARCODE(Hardcore),TI-IE BURNOUTS(Pu.nk)& WAR OFDESTRUCTION(I~Iardcore Punk)

D0 TI-IE ZERO POINT GET MUCH SUPPORT IN DENMARK ? WI-IAT KIND OF REACTION DO YOU GET AT GIGS ?

To be quite honest,as I am writing this we haven’t done our first gig since the reformation!But the reaction has been amazing,both from Denmark and fiom abroad.There have been plenty ofgig offers,but we have wished to hold it a bit.About the time this issue of 4 Minute Warning hits the street we will probably be doing our first live gigs since 1987! l(I cant fucking wait)

IS THERE ANY RIVALRY BETVVEEN THE PAST & PRESENT PUNK SCENE & SIVEDISHIFINNISH CRUST COUNTERPARTS ?

No absolutely not. It looks like people are getting along together.About the Swedish/Finnish part.I can only say that I have never experienced any... .but then again Mitch,It would be faster for me to travel toEngland than to Finland and Sweden would take about the same time as it would take me travelling to London.

WHERE YOU SURPRISED TO SEE THE ZERO POINT VOTED IN 89m POSITION IN THE H.LT.S PROGRAMIVIES TOP 100 PUNKBANDS ?

It is always nice to be appreciated and it was nothing that I expectedl was a bit stunned but,I must admit,also glad and proud.Of course it by no1neans,means we have had more or just near as much influence on the punk scene as X Ray Spex & Chelsea,but I think it means that we still gotsome steady support out there.(Just to set things straight:I voted for :Sex Pistols,Damned & The Clash)

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF BLACKPOOL AND THER H.I.T.S FESTIVAL 1?

I loved my stay in Blackpool and I really enjoyed the festival.Even though sometimes there was bad sound troubles and some bands didn’t manageto get there on time(MENACE you owe me one).Nice to see all the old bands are together again.For me it seemed to be run very professionaly and Iliked the atrnosphere.Yes there was a few young (Swedish ?)punks getting a bit stupid,when they got pissed and thought that was so much punk,butthey were young.I think it is fantastic to have so many punks and skins at one festival,and no major trouble,it was really nice to meet up with oldfi"iends,to make new ones and of course to meet you.

Later on Kate and I worked together on another radio theatre show,playing the two lead roles... . .. .h funny to think about.

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW THE CASUALTIES HAVE NICKED RIFFS OFF “MRRIGHT GUY”ON THEIR “PUNKS ANDSKINS”SONG.THE VOCALS SOUND SIMILAR TOO.HAS ANYONE ELSE POINTED THIS OUT TO YOU ?I RECKON YOU MUSTHAVE INFLUENCED TI-IEM.ANY COMIVIENTS ?

To be quite honest,I have never heard THE CASUAl.TIES,but I am familiar with their name.Well,now I will try to look them and the songup.No,you are the first one who has pointed it out for us(thay are not very well known in Denmark)I can only say if they have nicked some riffs from us its fine by me.lf we have influenced anyone I am only glad to have done so.

HOW DID YOUR COMPILATION ALBUM”FROM 1979 TO l987"’GET TO BE RELEASED ON GRAND THEFT AUDIO RECORDS?DID THE RECORD LABEL CONTECT YOU ?

GTA are working on releasing CD’s with several old Danish bands at the moment.Bands like CITY-X,WAR OF DESTRUCTION& RAZORBLADES will soon have a GTA release(They will be distributed through PLASTIC HEAD in the U.K)Actually I sent Brian (the owner of GTA)an e-mail notification about our websitefl had nicked the mailing list,so I acctually didn’t know that I hadsent him one )He replied,and asked me to send him some stuffcoz maybe he wanted to release a CD.I did and he was very interested. We have beentalking on the phone ever since(... .. . ..Well_,his phone bill I!)We have re-titled the album to”LIFE BELOW THE ZERO POlNT”we -have been given completely free hands,We are happy with the contract andthe way we have been treated so far.The release of the CD will be delayed a couple of rnonths,not because of GTA,but because of us.As Iwrite thelast things for the packet are being made ready and it will be sent off to the USA within a week.Hopefiilly an early 2003 release!

WHAT FIVE PUNK SONGS WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PUT ON YOUR PUNK ROCK JUKEBOX & WHY ?

This is a hard one.How can I select 5 songs only when there is so much fantastic punk rock out there?Well._.anyway I will give it a shot,but a lot ofbands deserve to be on the list:

l.SEX PISTOLS:”BOD1ES”I could have chosen any of their tracks,but I think Bodies is ine of the most powerful songs.For me the Pistols are thebest and most important band who has ever walked the earth.

2.DAMNED:”NEAT NEAT NEAT”That song is a classic.But I could have chosen most of their early recordings,I love their “Machine GunEtiquette”album and even the new one I find bri1liant(I AGREE A GREAT SONG MUCH UNDERRATED TOO-MITCH)

3.TI-IE CLASH:””ENGLISH CIVIL WAR”I think “give em enough rope”is the best Clash album and their version of the old traditional songs aresimply stunning.

4.U.I(.SUBS”C.I.D”Litt1e did I know in I979 when I bought my first U>K>SUBS single that this band were going to be one of my favourites.TheSubs became very important to the punk scene when the first wave bands started loosing it (or they split)”ANOTI-IER KIND OF BLUES”is one ofmy all time favourite albums and I still really enjoy attending a subs gig.Thanx Charliel.

5.THE RA.MONES”BLITZI(RIEG BOP”Their first album had a major influence on the very early punk scene.They inspired a lot of bands thatlater on inspired so many others.”BLITZKRIEG BOP”was one of the first RAMONES songs I ever heard.But then again this does’nt cover a lot ofmy favourite bands,sorne have not been mentioned.

LASTLY WHAT ARE THE ZERO POINT’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE ‘ZANYMORE CD RELEASES LINED UP ?

As soon as the CD has been released,we will do a tour here in Denmark playing the biggest cities.During the summer of 2003 we hope to be doing acouple of festivals and hopefiilly to be doingsome gigs abroud. We will love to play England again.As it comes to new recordings,we would love to go back in the studio to work on some new material,but right now,we will concentrate on doingsome live appearances.

Thanks a lot to you Mitch for giving us this opportunity and we hope to see you this summer.CheersSteen. . AYOU CAN CONTACT STEEN AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ZERO POINT FROM I-HSWEBSITE:http:l/www.thezeropoint.8k.com.. steenthomsen _lL@h.otinail‘g.,c_g;n OR VVRITE TO :STEEN THOMSEN
