ATV, Good Missionaries – "An Ye As Well." [Cass] (1980, Conventional Tapes)

Born out of the ashes of Alternative TV, The Good Missionaries embodied Mark Perry's new and advanced experimental-post-punk vision. Avoiding all kinds of average rock cliches, Perry got more and more deeply into an uncompromised form of music. A totally new area where his solid Punk roots were confronted by a more free, radical approach to the sound material. During their lifetime, The Good Missionaries toured and gigged with other distinctive, unconventional bands such as The Fall, The Pop Group, Crass, Scritti Politti... An infectious mix of electric noise, raw grooves, space, and resolute punk attitude. [SOURCE: FORCED EXPOSURE]

32 Guájar's Fáragüit – Antilogia V0cevérsica [Cass] (1983, Sorollsec)

Mario Ruiz, from Barcelona and with the stage name "Sorollsec", was 32 Guajar's Faragüit. His was a rhythmic, repetitive and dronic rituality, structurally close to that of Esplendor Geométrico and the more forceful SPK, although formally treated with less metallic sonorities and a greater number of melodic accents that distanced him from the tribal savagery of Arturo Lanz's band.

Youth In Asia – Sex Object [Cass] (1982, Millenium Tapes)

Youth in Asia were an early 1980s UK anarcho-punk band from London. They were differentiated from many other bands within that scene by their prominent use of the synthesizer. The band's first live performance was in Brussels in December 1981. They played several gigs at squatted venues, including Crass's squat gig at Zig Zag in London, and the Wapping Autonomy Centre with other bands including The Apostles, Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, Twelve Cubic Feet, The Mob, Poison Girls, Hagar the Womb, Riot/Clone, DIRT and others. 

 

The band sang political lyrics about issues such as war, sexism and state terrorism. The band's name was a play on the word euthanasia. The initial line-up was Kay Byatt (vocals), Mark Edmondson (guitar), Wayne Preston (bass guitar), Punky Pete (drums), and Olga Ashworth (vocals/keyboards). Pete was soon replaced by Eddie on drums, and Lou, formerly of The Witches joined on rhythm guitar. In 1983, Eddie and Lou both left the band with Mick Clarke and Bernie, both previously of Windsor's Disease, replacing them. The new line-up recorded a single for Crass Records, but the band split up before it was released, with some of the members forming a new band, Decadent Few. Byatt later sang with Radical Dance Faction and The Astronauts. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

Whipping Boy – Muru Muru [LP] (1984, CFY Records)

Whipping Boy was an American hardcore punk, psychedelic, and experimental-metal band from Palo Alto, California. The band was created in 1981 by lead singer Eugene Robinson and guitarist Steve Ballinger, students from Stanford University, and rounded out by the rhythm section of Sam Smoot, and David Owens, also students. Their sound featured lightning-fast melodies, tight, chunky rhythms, and violently incoherent vocals. They espoused a radically anti-government view that caught the attention of the Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra and led to his support. They were featured on a punk compilation 'Not So Quiet on the Western Front'. Their first LP, 'The Sound of No Hands Clapping' was produced by Dead Kennedy's Bassist, Klaus Flouride. The band enjoyed moderate success, and national tours in 1982 and 1983 were capped by the release of the heavy Psych Post-Punk 'Muru Muru' in 1983, also produced by Flouride. This abrupt change in style was not welcomed by Whipping Boy's fanbase. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

Ultratruita – Sangre Y Arena [7''] (1983, Ddomèstic Records)

Ultratruita was a group of dark pop formed at the end of 1980 with members coming from Basura and La Truita Perfecta. Their style, self-defined as psycho-pop, is characterized by rhythms cut to Talking Heads, new-wavish metals, use of violin and unusual lyrics. Their most stable members in its first stage were Boris Porter, Joan Garcia -Panotxa-, Jeannette Porter, Mikel and Gat. In a second stage Susana and Rafa Prieto establish as stable members. In their third stage Susana left the band entering Carlos as keyboardist. This formation remains stable until their dissolution.

 

Without support of critics or the record industry, Panotxa and Víctor Nubla created their own record label, Ddomèstic Records. Thus, in July 1982, accompanied by the musicians of Ultratruita, the single 'Sola / Cine de Barrio' (Ddomèstic, 1982) of Maria Lanuit is released, being one of the first works of the Catalan indie. In that same 1982 they enter the studio to record their first single 'Herman Brut / Ladrones de Pastillas' (Ddomèstic, 1982) that was the second reference of Ddomèstic. In early 1983 Gat and Jeannette left the band forming New Buildings. And in that same 1983, after a long parenthesis in Ddomèstic, came the second single 'Sangre y Arena / Frío' (Ddomèstic, 1983).
