PUNKS NOT DAD -




PUNKS NOT DAD – IN ME SHED (DIGITAL DOWNLOAD SINGLE ONLY)


Are the kids laughing at all us old punks? Are the old punks not settling down? Are they having kids and still being punk dads? We can only speculate on this new craze, or is it a mid life crisis? Who knows, but it’s still fun as hell for us and testimony that punk isn’t dead, or should that read punks not dad? Instead of retiring to our sheds to look at porn, plant some flowers were kicking out the jams (probably making some strawberry jam too). If you hear a noise from next doors shed, be warned – it could be some ageing punk. There’s even a cool video to go with this, featuring none other than Lisa Rogers – I would have thought that Bill Oddy would have been more appropriate.

SOUTHPORT - ARMCHAIRSUPPORTERS CD





SOUTHPORT – ARMCHAIRSUPPORTERS CD


First new full length in over 10 years and boasting members from UK stalwart bands BLOCKO, SNUFF and MIDWAY STILL – is enough for any fan of tuneful melodic songs. In between some hard hitting LEATHERFACE styled moments, is a trip of up beat 60’s tuneage and late 70’s mod fare – all dished up with style and flare. The song ‘White Lightning’ is nothing short of fantastic and my favourite song on the whole CD. Though this is a full length of well crafted and passionate songs, which didn’t instantly hit me – but you know those songs that take a few plays usually end up staying with you longer. Being pretty much the same age as these guys, I’m as much a supporter of armchairs myself.

GAN -


GAN – DO THAT AGAIN. AGAIN!?! CD

Before the explosion of grunge, never mind the explosion of Green Day there were bands doing melodic poppy punky h/c and before it became a clique that was bastardised. GAN were one of those bands, full of youthful energy and teenage angst. With their hearts on their sleeves and fingers on the right chords they riffed their way through a collection of fine tunes and probably broke the hearts of many a Descendants female fan. Here we have a collection of 24 songs, from their vinyl output back in the day – sounding great and sticking memorable tunes in your head while you go about your business. A really nice booklet full of photos, lyrics etc only complements the innocence of this time, when it was real and before the bandwagon jumpers latched on. Awesome covers of Bad Religion, Nena etc.

THE SHITTY LIMITS - BEWARE THE LIMITS CD



THE SHITTY LIMITS – BEWARE THE LIMITS CD

There’s been a real buzz going about this band, which I seem to have missed out on – like they’ve already released a handful of 7”s and with this CD it’s my first time hearing them. I can honesty understand what it’s all about, as they are one hell of a band. If, like me, you’ve been living in a cave and haven’t cottoned on, well they have an explosive mix of 60’s garage, 70’s punk and 80’s hardcore a potent mixture for sure. Great songs, body moving beats, pit cracking fury, chanty melodies that are all wrapped up and executed with passion and heart. I can only imagine that you would have the time of your life if you attended one of their gigs. The packaging is pretty minimal and stark, but they let the music do the talking. Wonderful CD.

STUPIDS - THE KIDS DON'T LIKE IT CD


STUPIDS – THE KIDS DON’T LIKE IT ……. CD / LP

The kids might not like it, but I sure as hell do. Quite possibly the come back record of the decade and it makes me feel great that these old guys still kick ass and surpass bands half their age. Totally great ripping tunes, which you would be totally stupid not to like and I can indulge and pretend I’m a young kid too. It includes the “Feel The Suck” 7”, which continues to blow me away – being the fantastic tune that it is. There’s quite an array of sounds going on, savage Agent Orange style melodies (ahem), 80’s styled mayhem done Californian style and plenty of up beat thrashers that are cut up and pasted with a fresh modern vibe that is oozing with life and will make the stiffest person want to jump around. An insight to the trials and tribulations of life which are full of sarcasm, humour and some of the best lyrics they’ve written. A welcome return and done in style, keep it going guys.
