Breaking The Rules #10 (Sweden, 2007)

This is the final installment of the 8 volume Swedish KBD, Powerpearls and Break The Rules 4 x cassette set. From the cassette notes: "This is Breaking The Rules #10 with a bunch of unknown bands that definitely broke the rules! These bands did the forbidden by mixing PUNK together with METAL! This is perhaps not for true punkers (who probably hates metalheads) but for you who want to discover what's in that forbidden Limbo that exists between these two genres. Some are more Punk, some are more Metal. Let's call it Punk Metal!"

Most tracks were taken from 7"s although some were from LPs and original cassettes. You can find more info and sleeve scans for most of the original records at Musikon.

Fresh Color 12" EP (Switzerland, 1979)

By request here is the Fresh Color 12" EP from 1979. This one is quite difficult to find although it was just on eBay as a "Buy It Now" for $225. It didn't sell so you may still have a chance if you really want it. The description called it "their best release". Probably the seller wasn't familiar with their 1st 7". There is no comparison between the version of "No Chance" on this EP and the 7" version. Other than this EP and the first 2 7"s I don't have any of their other records. Check Discogs for more on their later releases.

Fresh Color - Dance Around / Punkpartout // City Girl / No Chance / Mini-Car 12" EP (Stick FC 01279, 1979)

It is now available on CD.
