An interesting collection this – detailing the oft ignored DIY scene from the late 70s (77-80 to be exact). It was around this time that bands began to drum up the courage to put out their own records with two fingers up at the establishment and the major labels. Limited run 7″s, 12″s and handmade cassettes began to flood the underground music market – now of course we’re used to limited run stuff, but back then the whole DIY ethic was fresh and the bands were venturing into unknown territory. Of course, the one person to jump on this genre instantly was the legendary John Peel, who made it his business to grab hold of any ultra limited stuff he could and if it was worth it, give it a few spins on national radio. The music itself was punk or post-punk, and of course a lot of it was bloody disgraceful, but there was enough untampered talent and raw emotion on these records for Hyped2Death to put together a rather killer 22 track album. I think you’re probably thinking most of this music is going to be rather impenetrable noisy and full of spit, spunk and bile. You’re wrong – although there’s plenty of snot to go around, there are also a whole load of tunes on here that wouldn’t be out of place in the modern climate; Reptile Ranch’s ‘Saying Goodbye’ is a synth-led post punk gem and would light up any indie dancefloor, Walking Floors’ ‘No Next Time’ sounds like New Order on speed, and Dum Dum Dum’s cleverly titled ‘Dum Dum Dum’ is a reverb drench bendy guitared goth-punk winner. Hugely enjoyable – this is a history lesson, a damn fine collection of tracks….DIY baby!
