Teenage Treats Part 2 (Volumes 6-10)

OK today we will wrap up the second half of the great series of obscure punk singles from the era of roughly 1978-82, fine stuff that would be hard to find ANYWHERE else.....as I said yesterday, I think I got these from "Music Ruined My Life" a while back, and if so I thank Jeffen for the availability, and if it was somewhere else, I thank whomever I grabbed them from then,too.

The sixth disc here features, might as well cherry-pick a couple, The Dodos, Sahdowfax ("The Russians Are Coming!", Steroid Kids, Whips, and Regal Zone, plus more, no idea if anyone of these bands ever got beyond the singles/comps phase of a "career", but if they did and you happen to have an EP or CD from one of them, that would be one of the most valuable treasures one could share here!

Disc #7 brings us semi-classics from Buzz, News, Shish, Da Biz, and Trainspotters......f ine stuff from (in case I haven't mentioned,) Xerox Records.

Volume 8 and 9 are more of the same, except that they are short enough that they will both fit on a single CD, as we who are desperate to save space are always on the lookout for...... Volume 8 gives us the psuedo-brilliance of Razar (I think they've turned up on a couple other comps), White SS, Oscillators, Demons, and Mad Dogs..... Volume 9 gives us the Disco Students, Collectors, Robert & the Remoulds, and the Spasms. Love, love, LOVE to hear other material from ANY of these guys!

Wrapping it up is volume 10, with lots more "Who?" bands...... Disco Zombies, Tunnelrunners, Funboy Five, Merciful Release All-Stars, and Bozos......I've got not a lot of commentary on them of course, but this set works, as stated before punk singles/power pop singels work exceptionally well in the compilation format, as is so well replicates a free-form radio listening session of the era (or place) in question......this one works and I would LOVE to hear more from anyone featured on the ten discs.

OKAY..... I LOOOOOVE this kinda stuff, as I hope you know by now, I hope you do as well.....this is choice ass shit from a time in MY LIFE when Iwas becoming a "man" so to speak, 1979-82 were VERY important years to me...... this is something of a soundtrack to that time, and I would LOVE to hear any other music from the bands featured here..... I would probably cream my pants if someone could provide me some!

  1. I think Fraebbblarnir (from Iceland) had a couple of LPs released and the UK's Disco Zombies had 3 or 4 7"s back in the day - and a few years back had them all collated onto a full LP (with some extra previously unreleased tunes added) that is well worth the listen/purchase in my opinion.

  10. Hello there!

    Any chance of a reup of the Teenage Treats series? I heard Masterswitch on the radio the other day, and it inspired me to find out about the rest of the obscure punk bands from that era! Anything you can do/provide would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

    All the best to you from Pee-Pee Soaked Heckhole
