Listen at your own risk:

KUSTER live 1980 (for those who missed it):

Part 1- Part 2 - KUSTER last release (musically their best, no kidding...):

A. The Fairs - B. The Dreams of Me - BLACK CITY 7" (listen to that totally out of tune saxophone solo in the first track...)

A. American Dream - B. Quinni - BARBARIAN 7" (legendary)

A. Demon - B1. Rue Barbare - B2. Victime - BACCHUS 7"

A. Waiting - B. Live My Life Everyday - VERMIN 7"

A. Method in the Madness - B. Life has no Limits - Vermin lyrics contain some of the finest Engrish from Belgium:

"I can not speak, I cant not say
Who I Killedvtody
And tears I'll dry
When I watch the children die
An' give me a number
And you'll see me kill!!"

"I see my friends growing older
They live to slow for me
Take adventage of your life
No more consideration
Live my life like I want
Life's like stuff, can't get enough"




More to come

Thanks for posting these!

At first listen, Black City's "American Dream" is bad but not in good way, but I genuinely like the B-side. Vermin on the other hand is exactly what I was hoping for from this thread.

Thanx for warning those who don't know these bands ...

Kuster's intro tape! Haha!

I like how wayward the sax on "American Dream" gets.

Vermin are quite stirring despite their amateurishness. Best vocalist of the lot.

Barbarian? Now this is Cack Metal. What a shambles. Thank you!

To bad that I'm not able to rip stuff myself, because I can add lots in this thread! Will post a picture of other belgian crap when I get home.

I guess so mate.

Some bands I have never heard myself such as THOR, PHANTOM, COUNTER POINT (with KUSTER members), BUSTED, ALFREDO BOOM BAND... I wouldn't be surprised if some of those are total crap as well.

One serious question, did they all release the stuff privately or did they indeed find a "label" to waste their money with that "stuff"?

Both, private and labels, although mainly private.

Thing is, some stuff was released under a certain moniker, like Joe's Garage Records .This was of course not a real label but the name of the main sponsor, in this case a local bar.

I can imagine that some local small labels wanted to jump on the bandwagon and gave some crap bands the chance to release a single. So mostly you have bands that released one single and nothing else.

And in some cases we should be thankful for that! Though someone heard "potential" in Kuster ...

When you think about it, that's crazy how they managed to release 5 singles and one 12" !

And sold the whole crap! Means that after the first single the poor guy who bought it thought "It can't get worse so I'll buy the next one" and so on ... lol

Thank you so much for all these !!

I've never heard of VERMIN, do you know which year this 7'' was released and from which town they came from ?

I think those guys hailed from Genk and it was released in 1987.
