South African Punk Rock Sampler: Croakroom Records Promo-Release Sampler 2000

I got this for 5 or 10 rand at one of my first local punk shows in Cape Town. 

Back in the year 2000. 

Croakroom Records was a small punk rock label based out of Pretoria.
They did mail order. 

You could also pick up any Croakroom release at any of the bands shows.

The Vendetta Cartel - La Nuevo Revolution (Jozi)

The Vendetta Cartel are a South African punk rock band with South American underpinnings that have been active in the scene for over 10 years.Loco loco!

"Giving birth to the early punk rock scene in South Africa in the mid to late 90s The Vendetta Cartel, along with bands like Fuzigish, Crossing Point, and Hog Hoggidy Hog are true pioneers of the SA music underground.

The sound is fast energetic punk rock with raw but provocative vocals, reminiscent of Rage Against The Machine or early eighties hardcore.

This is the combination of old school and new school. It is fresh and powerful, and makes The Vendetta Cartel one of the most original, aggressive bands to come out of South Africa in recent years.

To call The Vendetta Cartel simply a punk rock band is putting them in a box and an understatement - they are an institution.

The band's original founders, singer Vini Reyes and guitarist Chris Webb have kept the flame burning over the last 8 years. Joining them for the latest installment are three new recruits: guitarist Gavin Simmonds, bassist Hendrik van Lamp and young drumming protégé Jonathan Jordaan.

This renewed energy has brought the band back to the peak of their game. Using the Spanish language as the main driving force for his impassioned lyrics, singer Vini Reyes who immigrated to South Africa from Chile as a boy emanates pure aggression, with his message never feeling like it's lost in translation." - facebook

Leek And The Bouncing Uptones - Ska-Core (PTA)

Leek And The Bouncing Uptones were a fast, melodic ska/punk band from Pretoria. They established themselves in 1994 and disbanded in 2002. They played a style of ska-punk similar to bands such as Link 80 and Less Than Jake but with lots of hardcore break-downs. They released 4 albums, appeared on one split and many compilation throughout South Africa and the rest of the world. Leek And The Bouncing Uptones were well known for their live shows (pure mayhem and chaos). I am posting this even though i cant get hold of the guys to ask permission. This was one of my favorite bands when i was "growing up" and the first song i ever worked out on guitar was a Leek song named "Vegie Core". They had albums on distros like 20 deck records and Interpunk, but from doing Google searches i have found out that those distros have discontinued the Leek stuff. So i am posting up what Leek i have and hoping i don't get in shit for it. I don't want their music to die!   ^_^
ENJOY! and lets spread it like the PLAGUE!
