The band (2 members only) formed in athens, Greece in 1984 and still exists. Their music is a mixture of punk, post punk, experimental, no wave and electronica. The total destroyers of music :). A radical political band dedicated to diy cassete culture. They released their first tape in 1988 and didn't made a concert until 1997 which released also their 1st cd. Here you can download band's first tapes from the late 80s. Check official site for more free downloads and band's myspace page
post punk band formed in Greece in mid 80s. Somewhere between bauhaus and birthday party. In 1986 the greek cult label "smash records" released fear condition's lp"Till night comes again". Listen a song here
formed in 1979 in greece. They released their first single in 1982 called "new revolution". In 1984 released a demo and their second 7" (the joke of the subway train). In my opinion is one of the most weird band of the greek post punk scene. listen a track here
post punk/new wave band from Greece,formed in early 80s. Band's members also participated in other bands like "parthenogenesis" (the first new wave band in greece) and Villa 21. They released a 7" in 1982 and the lp "Bare hands" in 1983 Listen a song here
The greek punk scene was born in early 80's by some bands like TVC, Ausvits, Soldiers of Fortune, Stress, Birthward, Genia tou Chaous (Chaos Generation) etc. Things were hard these days: punks had to face the common problems well known to all punks abroad: police brutality, the "normal" people's superstition, drug addiction, no places for gigs, no information about the world wide scene. The scene was mainly in the cities of Athens, Thesaloniki and Patra. A few pop & rock magazines were the sources of what’s happening abroad.
Genia tou Chaous is maybe the most important band of 80's: they formed in 1982 as Antikoultoura (Anticulture). They released a split tape with Adiexodo in 1983 on Art Nouveau Productions and two lp's (s/t,1986 and Rekviem (Requiem,1989),both records released on Dikaioma Diavasis Records (Right Of Passage Records): strong political antiauthoritarian lyrics, straight punk in the s/t lp, metal influenced aggressive punk in Rekviem. Thodoris Iliakopoulos was the lyricist, composer, vocalist and drummer of the band in 1996 Wipe Out Records released both lp's as 2lp/cd, there is also a rehearsal tape from 1984(?) and some live recordings in Agrinio with Adiexodo.
Adiexodo(Deadend) was another great band: they formed in 1983 as a trio band when two of the members were under 18 years old! After many member changes, they released the "38 hiliosta" (38mm) lp in 1984 on Enigma Records and the split tape with Genia tou Chaous. Dark lyrics, aggressive vocals and raw punk sound. Members of the band joined later Spyridoula (indie rock), Deus ex Machina (indie punk) and Ihoglykaimia, No Logo and Lefki Symphonia (White symphony - dark wave in the early days, indie rock later)
Ex Humans formed in 1984 and released the "Useless Surviaval" lp(Enigma Records). Raw punk music, socio-political lyrics and aggresiveness. This was their only release.
In 1984 "Diataraxi Koinis Isyhias"(Disturbance of common Peace - Enigma Records) was released: it was the legendary compilation lp including Adiexodo, Ex-Humans, Panx Romana, Grover and Genia tou Chaous. It was a landmark of greek punk scene including the best stuff of it. The record suffers from the usual problem of raw sound but the aggressiveness and power of songs solves the problem.
Stress formed in 1981 and played fast paced punk: they self-released "o ihos tis anasfalias I" (the sound of insecurity) in 1985 (re-issued in 1987 on Wipe Out) and "o ihos tis anasfalias II" (1992,Wipe Out)a post-mortem release, which contains previously unreleased demo & live material and the previously censored track Genoktonia (Genocide)
Birthward formed in 1982,they had released one 7" back in early 80's and after a long time hiatus they formed back in 90's. They played twice in Radio Utopia's fest and self released in 1999 the "infected life" cd, (NYHC ala Agnostic Front, Madball etc)
Panx Romana formed in 1982 from ex-members of such bands as Stress, TVC, and Video Games. The band was active in playing solidarity gigs or in squats, they released their first record "Paidia sta opla" (kids in arms) on Wipe Out in 1987).
Naftia (Nausea) was a crust band with male/female vocals and woman beating the drums. Probably the best crust band in Greece, they released two demo tapes (1988 and 1989), one lp(Eupopean reinenssane,1992,self-released) and a split lp w/ Grau Zellen from Germany(1994, Skuld Releases). One year later the Naftia side was released as one band lp. They had a tour in Europe (where a bootleg “Live in Oslo, 1993” was recorded). Naftia had a unique sound and style and they remind no other band. The male/female vocals make the songs unique. Sonia (drums) later joined Stateless in the Universe.
Viomihaniki Aftoktonia (Industrial Suicide) played crust and recorded their first demo in 1987. They recorded 3 demo tapes. Brutal vocals and noisy crust guitars.
(yes finally i found it...) They formed in 1982 in athens, Greece. One of the darkest band of the greek post punk scene . Later at the band participated the bassist of Headleaders (and also member of Rehearsed Dreams). They made a lot of appearances along with Headleaders and Villa 21. They were the first group that signed at the legendary Creep Records. Between 1982 and 1983 they released the 7" "Shoot The Truth" with three tracks and a mini lp titled "Funtime". In 1984 released the lp "Hello Hell" again from Creep Records, and in ' 86 the lp ΧΙΙ-13 from Smash Records. (The other greek post punk label which released only 3 Lp's). Unfortunately the singer / guitarist Fill Scars died in early 90's from drugs overdose. Here their first 7" and their last Lp. Sorry no tracklist for the lp.
post punk / new wave band from athens, Greece. "The band was formed from the ashes of Cpt.Nefos. Libido Blume's music was a mix of garage nostalgia, electro-pop, electro-funk and post-punk. They released 2 Lp's and one ep. Jon Langford (of The Mekons and The Three Johns) was the producer of their final LP in 1987." Here their first lp Colours melting and their Brilliant names and dames ep. Libido Blume myspace
Cpt.Nefos were a post punk new wave band, formed in Athens, Greece in 1982. They gave their first concert in '82 with some punk bands. The concert stopped with the intervention of the police. They released their first and only album in 1984 called "Silence Interrupted" For more from greek post punk scene check here Listen a song from Cpt.nefos here
...and now something from my country which i really like a lot. Slow Motion. Unfortunately just because they are greeks the band weren't known outside greece. But in my opinion were much better than many electro wave bands of the 80's. For fans of synth wave, experimental ,electro punk bands."Slow Motion is a Greek band formed in 1985.Since then, one trait continues for them: The need for a background of spiritual architecture behind each song, visualising a conscious, theoretical method of communication. An energy of self - transcendence behind an important and weighty musical investment, which is abstracted like a ceremonial litany – an invocation of a self-destructive religion" slow motion official site. Here their first lp (this slow motion) + some extra tracks
