THE SWEAT - NO MORE RUNNING LP

The Sweat - No More Running LP

Belfast, 1980, Double D records, LP

Not sure how exactly I ended up being ignorant of this record for years, soon as I got a rip of this I listened to it three times back to back, which is pretty good for someone with an attention span like mine. This is power pop tastic, almost seems like a concept album about a breakup or something, anyway a fucking gem.

CRAMP - SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME/SUZY LIE DOWN 7"

Cramp - She Doesn't Love Me b/w Suzy Lie Down

Portrush, Co. Antrim, 1979, Rip Off Records, 7"

Dunno how I haven't got around to putting this one up yet, this truly is one of my favourite NI punk records of all time. Suzy Lie Down is such an amazing power-pop/pop-punk tune. Just download it already!

ABNORMAL - FINANCIAL DISASTERS DEMO

Abnormal - 'Financial Disasters' Demo Tape 7"

Dublin, 1984, DIY, Tape

Thanks a million to Pat (drummer) for sending on this four track demo of the mighty Abnormal. These four tracks of uptempo punk rock were recorded in September 1984 and released as a demo tape, the song 'Tribal War' is a stand out track and I guess quite topical for the time considering what I know about the punk scene in Ireland in the early 80's. I love unearthing stuff like this, that is what the blog is all about. Keep on sending stuff on to me people :)

TINOPENERS - SET ME FREE/I'M NOT YOUR TYPE 7"

Tinopeners - Set Me Free bw I'm Not Your Type 7"

Belfast, 1979, Logo Records, 7inch

Anyone even vaguely familiar with Northern Irish power pop and pop punk from the late 70's is probably already familiar with 'Set Me Free' which is an absolute gem. The b-side is not to be overlooked either. This band apparently recorded another 7" that was never released, fucking tragedy really. Also this has recently been reissued on Sing Sing Records.

VARIOUS - RAISINS & VOMIT - FOUR BANDS FROM DUBLIN VOL. 2

Raisins & Vomit - Four Bands From Dublin Volume 2.

Dublin, 1994, Ratfish Records, 7inch

Four songs in all here, I'm sure at least two would suit those who may frequent this page. The criminally amazing Pincher Martin being the real stand out track alongside Female Hercules stomper 'Firepower'. Must get more Female Hercules stuff up on the blog in time, as long as it don't piss no-one off! Out of the other two bands featured Cruiser and The Knocking Shop, the latter whose track, 'Before Again' being the stronger of the two.
