Actually, I wanted to post MAD SOCIETY’s 7″ (L.A. band) who were famous for their 13 years old singer. But after I ripped it, I thought, no way – that record just sucks and if I’m in the mood for some youthful joy, I’d better stick to this.
VANALLES & NOGWATT’s one and only vinyl appearance ever caused some confusion back in the days. Some people (including the guy typin’) thought this was a split EP of two bands, one being NOGWATT who became quite popular in the mid 80s due to their fantastic 7″ (and maybe due to the fact it was an all-girl band). But in fact, these 5 chumps had picked a rather uncommon band name. Speaking of uncommon and picking up things from the start of this write-up: The funny thing about this slab is that the lads stated their age on the lyric sheet, haha.
They must have gotten shit for their youthful age and when you’re 14 years of age and somebody older pisses you off, what can you do? Exactly – you can form a band and record a great piece of vinyl that in fact doesn’t sound so young at all. All songs on this 7″ are great, and the litttle guitar-stops at the end of “There are Boys” actually are quite a clever thing, if you ask me.

OPen those Mad Society tunes up in some music editing software and pitch shift his vocals lower and it improves things a little. On the cover he was emulating Darby with his Adam Ant makeup. I think MS became Youth Gone Mad, but not sure.

Funny to see this EP posted.
In the early 80s Wormer had a pretty large punkscene (made famous by The Ex), about 16 bands in an 8,000 people village.
The boys from Van Alles & Nog Watt (a phrase that loosely translates as Something of everything & a little bit more, ah language) were basically all younger brothers of people playing in the existing punkbands. No one made fun of them and in my memories we were always save even as 12 yr olds because everyone else looked out for us [I did NOT play in the band though, just hang out with them at that time].
The EP falls into this as well. Arranged and paid for by existing punkbands. The mentioning of the ages sort of reflect their mascotte status. The cartoon on the cover was done by their drawing teacher at the village highschool.
The Smallpunx Label refers to their age/stature and is part of the local practice to try and come up with a new label name for every release [record labels being silly anyway].
Regarding the questions above.
Vuilnisbelt = garbage dump [their english wasnt that good]
Huygen-clan = Huygen is a Dutch surname and refers to the guy who was on the village council at that time (and if I remember correctly he lived pretty close to the singer’s parents.
