Hell's Kitchen - If You Can't Take the Heat...

Another record related to the Thrasher Skaterock series.
This band features ex-Verbal Abuse and Boneless Ones members! Two of their tracks ("Bloody Knees" and "Ain't no Beer") from their '87 demo "Fast Food" were included on Trasher Skate Rock Volume 6. The tracks were re-recorded and put on this record. This is trash metal, with a good dose of humor. Though, it's probably more correct to think of it as hard rock mixed with punk rock. So, it's NOT Slayer thrash metal. They released another album (Fistful of Chicken) in 1990 with a similar cover, but I've never really had the chance to check it out, so I have nothing else to say.
Includes a cover version of Spinal Tap's "Tonight I'm gonna Rock you Tonight"!

Slam - Ingens Slav.

Fuck yea, Swedish skaterock! This is a great hardcore act from Sweden. They were featured on Thrasher's amazing skate rock series entitled "Thrasher Skate Rock Vol 3 - Wild Riders of Boards" with the tracks "Jorden den är vår" and "Wild riders of boards". This record was released in 1984  on their own label Slam Records. I have a 7" and another 12" by them, which I'll try and upload sometime in the future, in the meantime you'll will have to settle with this.

Zoo Boutique - Forgive and Forget 7"

This is Zoo Boutique's first, if not only 7" release. I got this for free from some guy on eBay a long time ago (I think I might have gotten it with a 13th Chime single). I had never heard of the band before, and I still don't know anything about them except for what is posted on discogs. My copy is on clear vinyl, but I have no idea if that counts as anything special.
They play some sort of synth-ish new wave/synth pop (that basically the same thing, right?) and I like it very much. There's only two tracks on this "Forgive and Forget" and "Happy Families", it was released by Lightbeat Records in 1982.

Get it here.

There is no escape from THE ABOMINATION

The Abomination is a really crappy film. In the so-bad-it's-good kinda way. 80s-low-budget-gore-film, complete with a shallow plot, horrible acting, over-the-top violence and a killer soundtrack!


The whole point of this post was to upload the  title synth-track of the film (which sounds like something a certain danish band could have come up with (compliment)).


Get it while it's hot.
