CÂMBIO NEGRO "Ecos do 3° Mundo" LP

          CÂMBIO NEGRO  "Ecos do 3° Mundo" LP

         Listen Here

         12€  + POSTAGE

Câmbio Negro, is a seminal Hardcore Punk band from Recife -
Brasil, formed in 1983 they are one of the first bands playing 
that  kind  of music on the North East of the country, and the first on that region to release an album. "Ecos do 3° Mundo" was previously released as a demo tape in 1989,and is considered by many their best stuff,  brutal,  raw,   energetic Hardcore. PunkVortex records has  unearthed  the  original  recording, restored, remastered and released it on vinyl. The original artwork has been also revamped! Taking into consideration that the songs were stored on cassete tape for decades, and obviously lost a bit of quality, the final result is great! I am very proud of rescuing this piece of Brazilian Hardcore Punk and making it available to all.
Many thanx to Nino and Câmbio Negro for all the patience, trust and support!
Daniel Husayn for restoring and mastering.
And Carlos Casotti for the amazing artwork revamp.

SIWOMAT
"BÚMERANGS" LP

 BUY IT HERE

The boomerangs travel in space. They have the potential to come back to their origin, eventually to the same hand. But they also move in time. When they return, they come from the past, like the starlight, connecting time. In their orbits the boomerangs can interact with the environment, emitting sounds and recording lights and memories. Once in the hand, they can be interpreted, recodified and thrown again.

Classic Brazilian crossover-flavored HC, D-beat driven,

sound with some good solid songs to appease the metalleros
in the punk scene that like their shit raw and intense.

2 SICK MONKEYS ‎– Into Oblivion 2XLP  - €17
Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Green
BUY IT HERE

The final album from the quite possibly the greatest band
in the UK punk DIY scene for the past two decades now on
vinyl with lyric insert and free download copy, and what
a cracker it is too. There's cider punk and then there's
this, the single malt of the punk world, quality song
writing, and a great sound. Well worth adding to any
collection, all pressed on double green vinyl with full
colour insert.

"The production is crisp, the songs are a delight. Get the
record and read the bloody lyric sheet too. Whether it’s
struggles within or without, sage observations on shit that
just ain’t right or sings that are just for fun, there’s
always gonna be a 2SM song to float your boat." Mass Movement

"A life’s work tucked into a neat 65 minutes; a fitting
swansong to a band who genuinely walked the walk – and
they are few and far apart." Louder Than War

Label: Svart Records ‎– SVR 312 


BUY IT HERE

013 were short-lived but hugely influential and full of cult 
potential. The three-piece from Pukkila, Finland, partook in 
the Propaganda EP in 1981 (reissued by Svart in 2013) and
 the legendary Russia Bombs Finland compilation LP the 
following year. The band's only standalone release, the LP 
Takaisin todellisuuteen, was released on Propaganda Records 
in 1983, and the band split up shortly after. Original copies 
change hands for hundreds of dollars these days.This Svart
 reissue presents the album as close to the original as possible,
and expands the original artwork into a gatefold, also adding 
a bonus 7", which contains compilation tracks, thus making 
this release a complete 013 discography.

ON SALE NOW!!

Punk Vortex proudly presents Tropical Nightmare vinyl debut. Tropical Nightmare is a London based band that has been around for a while with a good number of live appearances and 3 demo tapes under their studded belts. On this release we have the songs from the second and third demos  now finally available on vinyl.  The band follows no trends and delivers their unique Brazilian flavoured kind of psychodelic hardcore punk loud, proud, distorted, with loads of feedback and weird tempos. Tropical Nightmare is a fresh breeze of creativity among a universe of copies and repetition. The artwork is a conceptual masterpiece by Carlos Casotti who managed to magnificently capture the essence of  TN's music and turn it into iconic images. Go check them out if they play in a town near you. They are currently looking for more gigs and working on new material for a full length album.
