THE ROUGHNECK RIOT – This Is Our Day (Bomber Music) our 23rd July 2012

The Roughneck Riot are a 6 piece Punk band from Warrington UK.

Influenced by traditional Folk music from around the world, we are reinventing and rewriting Folk music to make sense to our lives today. We write music for people, regardless of race, nationality, age, gender or sexuality. In a country with a government trying to destroy it, and a music industry run by money hungry people who couldnt care less about musicians, we are here as a voice amongst many in the scene ready to be heard.

We are here to play Folk Punk music. From nowhere & everywhere.

“The Roughneck Riot generate a steam-rolling wall of melodic noise that hits you like a right hook. Combining all the right elements – Pogues, Flogging Molly, Levellers, Johnny Cash and The Clash, this is contemporary hardcore folk driven by youth and boundless energy. If this lot don’t make you smile then you’re surely deaf or dead!” – R2/Rock’n’Reel Magazine

Matty Humphries – Vocals, Mandolin
Ryan Taylor – Bass, Vocals
Simon Cowley – Drums
Jade Franklin – Accordion
Chris Green – Guitar, Vocals
Caitlin Costello – Banjo

THE BONES ‘Monkeys With Guns’ PRESS RELEASE out 18th June 2012 People Like You

THE BONES
Release Date: June 18th, 2012

“Monkeys With Guns”

Available as: CD, Limited Edition CD Digipak, LP, Digital Download

THE BONES are back in the ring with another swing!

Is it really already five years ago since Sweden’s finest Punk’n’Roll outfit took over our
stereos with Burnout Boulevard? Apparently it is, but the good news is: the wait is over.
On Monkeys With Guns, the fifth studio album in their enduring career, THE BONES are
back blazing with 15 (17 on the Limited Edition and LP) blistering, hard hitting new tracks
of perfect Punk’n’Roll marriage material made in hell.

In our case, hell is a lovely little harbour-town called Karlskrona in the Southwest of
Sweden. That’s where it all started out for THE BONES back in 1993. Back then
singer/guitarist Beef Bonanza, along with his brother Spooky Fred and bassist Dollar Ace,
were working on their first demos, which already included soon-to-be-classics like ‘I Met
Elvis At The Nudybar’ and ‘Monsters Prefer Blondes’. When singer/guitar-slinger Marcus
Boner Petersson entered the picture in 1996 things began to speed up. Sharing a mutual
love for high energetic punk and rock music in the vein of The Ramones and Motörhead and
50s and 60s rock’n’roll, THE BONES were always influenced by the melodic qualities of
bands such as The Bay City Rollers and The Barracudas as well. After self-releasing The
Horrorway EP in 1997 german punk rock label I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison
Records caught an eye on the ear-catching qualities of THE BONES. Following two more
EPs, Rock n’ Roll Race and Six Feet Down, Two Fingers Up the swedes finally released
their adeptly titled debut album Screwed, Blued & Tattooed in 2000 to critical acclaim.

The sonic equivalent of Elvis, Johnny Cash, The Ramones and Social Distortion jammed in
the backseat of a cadillac watching Grease at a seedy Drive In, took Punks, Rockers and
even Metalheads by storm. The next album Bigger Than Jesus followed the success of its
predecessor and THE BONES reputation as a a killer live act began to grow instantly.
Sharing the stage with bands and friends like Motörhead, Cockney Rejects or Die Toten
Hosen, THE BONES had made it from the local swedish youth clubs to the top of europe’s
club- and festvial circuit, building up a strong following of like-minded rock’n’roll party
animals. By 2004 Dollar Ace had left the band and long-time friend Andi Nero premiered
his bass-playing skills for the first time on the follow-up album Straight Flush Ghetto.
2007 saw the release of Burnout Boulevard, yet another album that showed no sign of
THE BONES having lost just an ounce of their gritty integrity and energy. After more than
seven years of travelling, playing and recording THE BONES decided to take things a bit
slower. With their first live-DVD Berlin Burnout, recorded at Berlin’s famous punk venue
SO36 in 2008, the band still managed to throw their fans the figurative bone, before
returning to the studio.

It’s 2012 and the wait is over. „Monkeys With Guns“ marks THE BONES’ return to form in a
new decade. Having teamed up with producer Magnus „Mankan“ Sedenberg, the guy that
can be held sonically responsible for his great work on the first three Bones’ albums, the
band is now ready to rock and roll again.

“Well, it was great hitting the studio with producer Mankan again…We had some
expectations about the sound and we got it!”, says Beef,” We puzzled our schedules
together best way possible and BANG!!! The new songs are still in the shape of THE BONES
which means dirty punk rock´n´roll but still sing-a-long. And now we´re looking forward to
the release of the album and to meet the fans and supporters.”

From the classic tongue-in-cheek track ‘Bones City Rollers’ to the anthemic, Hanoi Rocks-
influenced ‘Concrete Cowboys’ to the high roller Motörhead-anthics of ‘State Of
Rock’n’Roll’; from ‘Cemetry Sue’ covering the twangy surf turf to the Ramones-nod of
‘Hooligan Bop’ and the pelvis-shaking Presley-hommage of ‘This Hound Dog Rocks’ – THE
BONES deliver nothing less but the essence of their game: Punk’n’Roll with attitude and
hooks as big as King Kong with an Uzi at the top of the Empire State.

So grab yourself another beer, put your favourite rockabella on your lap and crank up the
stereo with „Monkeys With Guns“. It’s time to rock. And roll THE BONES….

Kylie Minogue in Meteors T Shirt shocker!

The Psychobilly world is in shock tonight after news reached it that Kylie Monogue performed at a gig in Manchester on 2nd of April sporting an iconic Meteors T Shirt design from 1981. At time of writing nobody seems to have any idea if the Australian songstress is a

fan of the band  a crazed trio who at the time featured P Paul Fenech, Mark Robertson and Nigel Lewis, their most popular tracks of the era included ‘Maniac Rockers From Hell’, My Daddy Is A Vampire’ and ‘Psycho For Your Love’. The Meteors are still going strong in 2012 with founder member Fenech at their helm touring and recording for People Like You records. Robertson and Lewis are reported to be searching high and low for suitable Kylie T Shirts to wear on stage  this coming weekend (Easter) to return the favour when their band ‘The Tall Boys‘ perform at a Psychobilly festival, The Satanic Stomp in Speyer, Germany.

The Meteors have recently released a DVD and 30th Anniversary box-set on People Like You Records http://www.peoplelikeyoushop.com/Item/The_Meteors_-_Pure_Evil_Live/155

Bob Wayne ‘Till The Wheels Fall Off’

Not my words, official press release but should you need any information please give me a shout

Bob Wayne

“Till The Wheels Fall Off”
Available as: CD, Ltd. CD Digipak, LP, Color LP Digital Download
Release Date: April 9th, 2012 People Like You Records
“Till the Wheels Fall Off” ain’t just an album title. It’s a way of life. And the Outlaw Carnie
responsible for it ain’t no character. BOB WAYNE is 100% the real deal: a raucous, rambunctious,
storytelling rabble-rouser with a passionate zeal for life and a reckless charm that is completely
unbound.
Conquering the interstates behind the wheel of his real-life ‘70s Cadillac limo while
surrounded by a revolving gang of sweaty banjo bangers, fiddle scorchers and upright bass slappers,
BOB WAYNE carries the torch for the Outlaw Country tradition with a modern punkabilly snarl all of his
own. The rampaging troubadour has left a trail of devastated dive bars, broken hearts and one-night
stands across the United States and Europe.
BOB’s incredible catalog of home recordings, studio outings and zip-lock-baggied CDs sold
from his trunk have all finally culminated into a pair of landmark releases with People Like You Records
that encapsulate and capture just what his life’s work has been about. There’s no better place to hear
BOB than the road, but the Nashville based country singer’s “Outlaw Carnie” and newest collection of
tunes, “Till the Wheels Fall Off”, come a close second. BOB writes songs that paint vivid pictures of real
life, with an overall atmosphere befitting the rowdy carnival ride conjured in his presentation.
“I’ve always known I wanted to be on the road, no matter what,” BOB says matter-of-factly.
“Whether I was selling t-shirts for Zeke or guitar teching for Hank III, I knew I wanted to be on the
road. I don’t care what I’m doing. I’m not against getting in front of a bigger audience, but whether I’m
on CMT or MTV or not, I’m going to keep doing this, that’s for sure.”
BOB WAYNE is as true of a DIY act as there is, kicking off his career without an agent, manager,
record label, proper touring vehicle or fulltime backing band. He picked up and moved from the Pacific
Northwest to Nashville and was instantly embraced by the community of underbelly outlaws whose
stripped down and straightforward country cuts through the mainstream noise and pop pretenders.
“You can’t rely on waiting around,” he insists. “You just go. That’s what I do. I’m just going to keep
doing it.”
BOB WAYNE songs often deal with the spiritual torment of living life pulled between good and
evil; or they are about cutting loose and partying with your best friends; and then there are what he
calls “the story songs.”
The compositions on BOB’s latest album are wrung from his heart, spirit and guitar with an
authenticity that’s lacking in many of today’s various subgenres and scenes. It’s an out front, direct
and in-your-face approach that has struck a chord with people whose music collections span the
divides between country, roots, bluegrass, rockabilly, punk rock, hardcore, indie artfulness and the
rawest of stoner rock and underground metal. It’s country, to be sure, but of the strongest grain and
purest intent.
BOB laid down the roadmap for his career with the first song he ever wrote as a proper solo
artist, “Devil’s Son”, which sees it’s most solid recording on his latest album, bringing him full circle. “I
had been listening to a lot of David Allen Coe, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson,” he says. The song tells a
story about a guy who journeys to Nashville and wrestles with a few demons. WAYNE himself entered
Nashville for the first time riding on the bus with Hank III, just as the sun was coming up one morning.
“My first time rolling into this city was with the people I needed to be with,” he says.
It was almost eerie how “Devil’s Son” had predicted the subsequent years. “I’m a little leery
when I’m writing songs now,” he laughs. “’Spread My Ashes on the Highway?’ I should write about
being a millionaire!”
Money does figure into one of the album’s new songs. “A Pistol And A 100 Dollar Bill” was
written inside BOB’s motorhome during a Texas thunderstorm. “I had this girl with me. She was
beautiful. She was like, ‘How do you write these songs?’ I was like, ‘How do you look so good?’”
The girl challenged BOB: could he write a song on command? She said that if he could write a
song, right then and there in front of her, she’d spend the rest of the night doing whatever he wanted
in return. “I had a bunch of songs in the bank, I could have faked it and made it look like I was trying to
think of rhymes, but I was up for the challenge. I wrote that song right there.” The darkness of the
Texas thunderstorm served as inspiration. “I imagined this man with the devil and a woman by his
side, telling this story.
It was actually a very good song that I ended up liking. It was a challenge to see if I could write a song
on command. I’m glad I did it!”
It’s the type of story that sits easily next to a song like “All Those One Night Stands.” “I don’t
mind being with one girl but I want them to know what they are dealing with,” he says about his
touring lifestyle. “I’m out there 200 to 300 days per year. I’ve got my needs. I’m not a monk.”
Tracks like “Fuck the Law” (written while hopping trains), the real life inspired “Lost Vegas”
and the rest of the material in BOB’s catalog are often cinematic. BOB’s interests and talents extend to
screenplays, movies and other mediums as well, so it makes sense that his music is similar in scope.
“When people listen to my records I want it to be like a movie where it takes them through
different emotions. You’re happy at some points, there’s a sad part, a weird scary part. I try to fit the
spectrum of everything where you’re entertained, because it’s basically entertainment mixed with real
life experience. Pop this CD in, just like you’d pop ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ or something in, and be
entertained.”

Concrete Jungle Records unleash Death By Stereo and Authority Zero albums in April.

 CONCRETE JUNGLE RECORDS

Forthcoming album releases.

 

Death By Stereo – Black Sheep Of The American Dream

Authority Zero – Stories Of Survival

Release date 20/04/2012

 

 

DEATH BY STEREO

 

14 Years strong and still nothing can stop DEATH BY STEREO. Coming back harder, faster, and louder than they ever have, their sixth full-length studio album “Black Sheep Of The American Dream” will be out on April 20th 2012. “Black Sheep Of The American Dream” offers up DEATH BY STEREO’s return to their hardcore punk roots, interlaced with crushing metal breakdowns and blazing solos courtesy of the legendary party shredder, Dan Palmer.

 

Lead Singer Efrem Schulz comes correct with the vocal style that has personified the group’s unique sound. Reaching back to their first album “If Looks Could Kill, I’d Watch You Die…” for influence and taking it into a head on collision with some of the heaviest vocals of the band’s history, DEATH BY STEREO remains focused on the political, conscious, personal, and confrontational. With this album Schulz is calling for the world to stand up and fight.

 

Arguably one of the best guitarists to ever play hardcore punk, Dan Palmer is known for writing vicious riffs and laying down some of the most technical, melodic, soulful, ripping solos of any players out there. He really drove it home on this one, showcasing all of his skill, aggression, and finesse on “Black Sheep Of The American Dream”.

 

With this album, DEATH BY STEREO brought back original bassist and founding member, Paul Miner. In addition to lending his bass skills, Paul co-produced, co-wrote, engineered, mixed and mastered the album with the idea of taking the bands sound into a direction somewhere between “If Looks Could Kill” and “Into the Valley of Death”. With several years of experience producing under Paul’s belt working with some of the most recognized punk, hardcore and metal bands out there; such as TERROR, H2O, THRICE, ATREYU, this record sounds like a brick to the face.

 

Long time guitarist JP Gericke slays his parts from beginning to end with his trademark right hand picking style that fuels his other band, AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE. His onstage energy and tight playing style lock in perfectly with Dan’s powerful stage performance.

 

Crushing anything in his path, drummer Mike Cambra annihilates his drums to no end. Balancing precision and chaos is what Mike does best, delivering the fast, hard, heavy, and in your face drumming that has become part of the trademark DEATH BY STEREO sound.

 

Balancing chaos and consciousness is no easy task, and few bands will ever do it as well as DEATH BY STEREO. And somehow or another, the band does all this while completely out of their minds on Jagermeister. DEATH BY STEREO brings a conscious message with a no holds barred, uncompromising way of life that has become infamous.

 

In March 2012, Concrete Jungle Records will be releasing a 7” single (limited to 500 copies / clear vinyl) featuring two new tracks from the forthcoming album “Black Sheep Of The American Dream”. The blistering “WTF Is Going On Around Here?” attacks the right wing and calls for people of all nations, colors, and cultures to smash the system of control that holds us down, an idea that is reminiscent of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES at their angriest. The eye-opening lyrics of “The 5th of July” provides a stinging commentary on the July 5th murder of an innocent Fullerton, Ca man, Kelly Thomas, by police. Schulz says “the song takes issue with police brutality and the way the American justice system is designed for us to fail and for the powers that be to take control. No matter what the cost, even human life.” Akin to friends like SICK OF IT ALL and BIOHAZARD this song is will make you want to pummel the world.

 

Additionally, this February DEATH BY STEREO will be joining long time friends AGNOSTIC FRONT on their European 30th anniversary tour. The new album, “Black Sheep Of The American Dream” takes the band on an angry party across the state of the world. Hearing them take influence from friends and touring partners like SICK OF IT ALL, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, PENNYWISE, BAD RELIGION, AGNOSTIC FRONT, STRUNG OUT and MADBALL, but partying like VAN HALEN the whole time. If there is one thing you can take from this record it’s to stand up and be counted, and have a fucking blast doing it. DEATH FOR LIFE.

Dan Palmer – Lead guitar

Paul Miner – Bass

AUTHORITY ZERO

Mesa, AZ based punk rock royalty AUTHORITY ZERO has managed to weather the storm of the music industry and endure living on the road away from friends and loved ones. For the release of their fourth studio album, ‘Stories of Survival’, AUTHORITY ZERO used their music as a conduit to convey not only the trials and tribulations the group has endured, but also the current economic difficulties faced across the globe.

The album begins with a sample of Winston Churchill’s “Blood, Sweat, Tears and Toil” speech as the opening chords to “The New Pollution” kick in and DeVore laments about the current state of corruption in the music industry. The band seamlessly shifts to reggae for the socio-political observations in “Big Bad World” as the album runs the gamut of musical styles from driving punk rock to ska and reggae.

 “The album title was a no brainer, as it encompasses everything this record stands for. This record has so much to do with survival, not only as a band, but as an individual living in a crazy world,” says Jason DeVore of AUTHORITY ZERO. Founded in the summer of 1994, the band has flourished for nearly two decades. Initially their goal was simple; create a sound that paid tribute to their punk rock forefathers, but not confined by the musical barriers that typically bound the genre together. Their live show and energy on stage quickly drew comparisons to that of Rage Against the Machine, and the local independent record chain Zia Records caught on. In 2001, Zia issued AUTHORITY ZERO’s debut, self-titled EP ‘Patches In Time’, which gained significant airplay on college radio, as well as indie powerhouse The Edge 106.3. Within months, the now classic EP became one of Zia’s best-selling releases.

With the band’s quick success, Lava Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, signed AUTHORITY ZERO for the release of their iconic debut album, ‘A Passage In Time’, in 2002. The album’s diversity drew comparisons to the likes of Bad Religion and Sublime, while the band took to the road for tours with Sum 41, NOFX, Alkaline Trio, Punk-O-Rama and the Warped Tour. As word continued to spread about the group’s captivating live show, AUTHORITY ZERO released their sophomore effort, ‘Andiamo’, in 2004. The album embraced more ska and reggae influences and paired them with Latin-flavored rhythms to create their most culturally diverse record to date.

AUTHORITY ZERO then charged ahead with two other well received releases, a live album titled ‘Rhythm and Booze’ and 2007′s ’12:34′. Incredibly successful runs alongside Slightly Stoopid, H20, Pennywise and Pepper followed these releases before the band returned to the studio to begin crafting ‘Stories of Survival’. Marking the return of original bassist Jeremy Wood, as well as the addition of longtime friend Zach Vogel on guitar, ‘Stories of Survival’ was also the first release for Viking Funeral, an imprint label founded by Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge, Ken Seaton of Hardline Entertainment and Suburban Noize Records.

AUTHORITY ZERO continues to forge their own path and cultivate a worldwide fan base of millions. Through ups and downs, trial and error, the band has overcome obstacles and presses on with a vengeance. “Stories of Survival” is going to be released in Europe for the first time via Concrete Jungle Records April 20th 2012 including 6 bonus tracks from the current live album “Less Rhythm More Booze”.

Tragedy Strikes as Demented Are Go complete their first album in seven years.

Simon Nott PR

PRESS RELEASE

DEMENTED ARE GO!

“Welcome Back To Insanity Hall”

(People Like You)

Available as: CD, Ltd. CD Digipak, LP, Digital Download

Release Date: March 26th, 2012

Welcome back to DEMENTED ARE GO and “Welcome Back To Insanity Hall!”

What is there to say about DEMENTED ARE GO that hasn’t already been said or made up? Not a lot. They are a band that has inflicted their twisted version of rock ‘n’ roll on  the world for 3 decades, from the legendary Klub Foot via clubs, squats and festivals they have built up a loyal following of Psychobillies, Metalheads, Punks, Goths, Geeks and Freaks who just can’t get enough of their unique sound.

Always a live act not to be missed, their catalogue of releases over the years is proof that the band is always evolving and never restricted to one scene. The reason for the bands longevity and popularity is down to one man, Sparky. A one man riot who sold his soul for Rock‘n’Roll! Uncompromising, unpredictable with a voice that sounds like he’s been gargling gravel he is instantly recognisable  as one of rock ‘n’ rolls true leaders. How he has kept the band going for 30 years is beyond explanation but now in 2012 and after almost 7 years since their last LP “Hellbilly Storm”, DEMENTED ARE GO have finally produced their hardest material to date.

“Welcome Back To Insanity Hall” is their latest offering and as with all things Demented the road to “Insanity Hall” was

a very, very rocky one indeed. As well as the obligatory line-up problems, the band experienced tragedy on a scale they had never imagined. Having rehearsed the new material over the winter of 2010-11 they entered StudioVon Buktu in Wuppertal

(Germany) in the spring to lay down the tracks with much respected engineer/producer Tim Buktu.

Tim had remixed the “Hellucifernation” LP back in the late 90’s and was much admired by the band. Having taken the rough tapes to Sweden to mix during the summer on his return to Wuppertal Tim suffered a heartattack and died aged just 53. With the band still in shock and devastated by his loss People Like You Records pushed hard to get the record finished and by the end of the year it was finally ready and another chapter in the DEMENTED ARE GO story is about to begin..

Templeton Pek ‘Slow Down For Nothing’ (EP) Press Release

TEMPLETON PEK

“Slow Down For Nothing” (EP)

Available as: Digipak CD; Digital Download

Release Date: January 30th, 2012

People Like You Records

 

 

TEMPLETON PEK have spent the summer of 2011 supporting USA giants – Rise Against across Europe and appearing alongside Good Charlotte, Bullet for My Valentine at major festivals. The Band signed to People Like You Records and headed into Modern World Studios with producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers/Lost Prophets/Bullet For My Valentine) to create the brand new EP “Slow Down For Nothing”

 

TEMPLETON PEK about “Slow Down For Nothing” (EP):

 

Signs: The first song we wrote post “Scratches & Scars” sessions, a great summary of the band with cross sections of different styles which gives a good taste of what we are about. Theme-wise; The

song is about looking forward and not clinging to the past, a theme that resonates throughout this EP, as we feel it’s a real transition for us.

What Are You Waiting For: We knew straight away that this song would work well with real strings, it turned out better than we expected, very epic. For us this is the most radio friendly song on the

EP, and again has quite a few styles in there including an uplifting middle eight. This song is about having patience and picking your battles to win the war. Sometimes you need to lose to win.

Clarity: A powerful anthem of taking control of your own destiny and moving onwards beyond doubt, this song translates great live.

Call To Disarm: A strong opening riff and pacey feel with a nice breakdown section before unleashing to the end. This song is about making your own luck and not waiting or relying on someone to do your

work for you.

Conflict In Memory: This song is about how different people perceive the same thing. Everyone’s recollections are their own. A very anthemic chorus breaks up a vicious verse accompanied by some

haunting strings.

 

Background:

Since this industrious unit’s inception back in early 2008, TEMPLETON PEK have certainly made a name for themselves as a seasoned touring outfit, racking up impressive supports with the likes of

Mindless Self Indulgence, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Rise Against, Funeral For A Friend, Killswitch Engage, Taking Back Sunday, No Use For A Name, All Time Low, Zebrahead, Millencolin and Story Of

The Year. In a little over two years, they’ve bagged arena shows on Taste Of Chaos and Give It A Name Tours and relentlessly headlined shows throughout the UK and Europe. Last year they also

toured with Epitaph’s Welsh crew The Blackout, spanning the depths of Luxembourg, France, Germany, Austria, Czech Rep, Switzerland and Belgium.

 

TEMPLETON PEK’s debut album “No Association”, unleashed during the winter of 2008, garnered much critical acclaim, gathering famous fans along the way including Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

quoting the album as “an excellent album…razor sharp nuggets.” The band also enjoyed expansive media coverage from the likes of MTV2, Scuzz, Kerrang! Radio, XFM, BBC 6music, Rocksound, Big

Cheese, SLAM! and Kerrang!

 

The band’s eagerly awaited second album, “Scratches & Scars” raised the bar both musically and lyrically. With driving rhythms and almost effortlessly woven punk-rock melodies, the three-piece

have produced an album of boundless sincerity packed with punchy riffs and peppered with alluring hooks, all set against a modern-day backdrop. From the anthemic and fiercely rhythmic first single

“Barriers” which racked up Record Of The Week on Kerrang! Radio, to the bone crushing melodic hardcore beatings of “Made To Waste”, through to the innovate dynamism and astute guile of

“Red_Lights_Flash” (which is also featured on the Colin McCrae: Dirt 2 game soundtrack alongside the likes of Biffy Clyro, Queens Of the Stone Age and You Me At Six), “Scratches & Scars” is a clear

statement of intent fuelled by a candid and earnest driving DIY ethos. Recorded, written and produced solely by the band, it’s evident that the progressive trio are not manufactured, are not

dictated to for how they should sound, and strive with integrity towards uncharted pathways.

Various Reviews.

JIM JEFFRIES

‘Coming To Get You’

(I Sold My Soul)

Atmospheric, dark n rockin’ debut solo.

8/10

Fed up with being a sideman, albeit a bloody good one with some great outfits, Jim Jeffries has launched into his solo album with some enthusiasm. He has definitely enjoying starting out with a blank musical canvas unencumbered by preconceptions of what he ‘is’ musically. The running gear is without a doubt rockabilly with some excellent double bass and drum rhythms solid throughout. Most of the fourteen songs are self-penned or collaborations ranging from slightly folksy blues thru tex-mex to out and out rockin’ filled out with everything from Spanish guitar to mandolin and harp. Jim’s vocals have mellowed slightly from previous recordings and are in keeping with the restrained sometimes desperate utterly rockin’ nature of the album which is an impressive debut.

GRAVEYARD JOHNNYS

‘Songs From Better Days’

(Wolverine)

4/5

Poon chasing Welsh punkers storm it

The Graveyard Johnnys’ debut long-player has been eagerly anticipated since their debut EP was picked up by Mike Davies and tours with the likes of Mad Sin. The wait was well worth it as they smash into tales of rough chicks, boozing and thumbing it to the man, with searing guitar and big choruses. The anger and humour are harmonised and pulverised into slabs of punk that contain a surprise in every bite. Joe Grogan’s double bass is wielded not as some sort of theatrical nod to all things ‘abilly but as an offensive weapon ready to clobber anyone with a quiff wanting to hijack them or their music. This is riotous and roll baby!

LOADED 44

‘Wasted On You’

(STP)

3/5

Rampant,Raucous Punk Rock N Roll

Formed in 1996 Loaded 44 played their first gig with the UK Subs and have been sticking it to us ever since with largely self-penned material. Singer Beki’s voice belts out songs of broken hearts and tragedy not as tales of woe but with defiance and a big stiff middle finger. This is big sounding punk rock performed with controlled anger, rock n roll guitar and twangy bass-lines almost veering into glam in places. Toy Dolls fans will be chuffed to note Olga guests on guitar to add gloss to an excellent album.

REBEL CITY RADIO

‘Hello Hypocrite – Hypocrite Hello’

(Killer Shark)

4/5

Impressive well-produced aural kick in the chops.

Rebel City Radio haven’t been around for long but have been making their mark and gaining praise from friends in high places. This is an impressive album that sounds as if it could have been recorded with no expense spared for a major label and surely displays the ambition the band have. There are some huge tracks on here that will surely go a large way to catapulting them into the spotlight. There are definite nods to their influences here but they are well enough merged into their own ideas for it to work in a positive way, a punk band to look out for.

BEAT DEVILS

‘Another Dream’

(Crazy Love)

As infectious and catchy as man flu in a wrecking pit

8/10

Russian combo the Beat Devils have unleashed an album that really should have some sort of antidote released with it, it is that infectious. I warn you that there is a good chance you will have the opening track alone whirling around your head for a long time long after you have ripped the plug from the wall, then the second will start, so it goes on. The slap bass is crisp and clear doing exactly what it should, driving everything along in locomotive fashion with flourishes in answer to the rimshot rattles. They punctuate the gravitational hooks dragging you into the songs melodic to the extreme and enhanced rather than plagued by the odd backing vocal. There are 11 killer tracks, all sung in English, I’m off to find a vaccine, after I have listened just once more.

BONSAI KITTEN

‘Done With Hell’

(Wolverine)

Kitten my arse, this girl is tough.

7/10

If picking up a CD with a band name that includes the word kitten, don’t judge it by its cover, there is nothing soft and fluffy about this. The album is ballsy as hell and full of venom, it all kicks off with a nice rocking instrumental that lures you into a false sense of security with some sultry ‘ahhhs’. Then you get the idea, the rhythm section is pure metronymic percussion and the vocals female and feisty. Songs of revenge and warnings not to mess bounce along over the humping rockabilly bass and guitar that ranges from buzzsaw to twang make good bedfellows with some low down and dirty more blues themed tunes as well as a duet with Koefte DeVille, (he was probably scared not to!) make for a cracking album.

NICK 13

‘Nick 13’

(Sugar Hill)

Tiger Army’s frontman’s country fling.

7/10

This is one of those albums that splits opinion, if it were not Nick 13 of US psychobilly luminaries Tiger Army it probably wouldn’t even get a review here but of course psychobilly is only the wicked nephew of country so no massive shift. Nick’s solo album is modern country music, the fact it has taken him the best part of two years to put down these ten tracks tells its own story, top notch production, exceptionally well done but lacking the heart and feeling that oozes from the best of genre. Not to say that there is no passion in the lyrics, fans of Nick’s song-writing will probably love it (although he has reworked some well-loved TA classics here so has hardly been working overtime with his pen) as will people who dig clean-cut country because that is what this is, conformist musically with no rough edges but if the idea was to break into the that lucrative sphere and make some real dollar he could well do it with this.

SQUAREHEAD

‘Yeah Nothing’

(Richter Collective)

The Beach Boys meet Punk on sunny summer’s day.

8/10

Just the like the harmonious origins of the Beach Boys who are so obviously an influence on Irish trio Squarehead there is plenty of rock n roll in the mix here. Alongside the unashamedly poppy feel that just radiates sunshine there is plenty of surf guitar and bopalong rhythms of the 1950s in evidence, but the sound is no retrospective born too late pointless party. OK it may have been before being filtered down through the musical decades from that late 50s early 60s ambience incorporating elements of garage and punk before lolling out to us as a near perfect slab of catchy pop. Good time music that’s so feel good it could be marketed as aural Prozac, the only come-down being when track 12 ends, hit repeat.

‘Sun Records – Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On!’

(Metro-Select)

Sun Records warts and all.

6/10

The title suggests that this 60-track double CD compilation is one that focuses on the great rockabilly and rock n roll that the label that launched the likes of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash to name just four had to offer. What we have instead is one that casts its net wide from the very earliest blues to a track that to my ears wasn’t even a contemporary Sun recording. Some of the classics are here, the packaging is top notch with informative sleeve notes. Sadly there is no rhyme nor reason to the track-listing which is neither in any sort or chronological, genre or evolutionary order which considering the mine of musical gold that could have been tapped has its fair share of bland amongst the bling.

‘Rebel Rock – The Essential Rockabilly Album’

(Metro-Select)

An excellent introduction to 1950’s Rockabilly.

9/10

Maybe the ‘essential’ rockabilly album is an impossible claim but this one comes very close. It has to be assumed that it has been released with people who are new to the genre in mind because any collector will have pretty much all of the 50 tracks. However, full marks to the complier because they have hit a great mix of quality that include some cracking early career rockabilly by the likes of Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich that would have come as surprises to their fans back in the day. Those gems are alongside tracks that despite their obscure origins have long since been quite rightly hailed as retrospective classics of the genre. The whole package is excellent but a slight gripe that the sleeve notes sloppy in places so best let the music do the talking.

DELANEY DAVIDSON

‘Bad Luck Man’

(Voodoo Rhythm)

Atmospheric country blues.

7/10

Award nominated New Zealander Delaney Davidson is a global legend and has toured it as a one man band for which is he renowned. This album was recorded all over the world too and in doing so has recruited some excellent musicians along the way to populate his usually solitary studio offerings. The one time drummer for The Dead Brothers has kept that combo’s element of the morose within a lot of this tracks which are funeral paced and gloom-ridden in places then bust into joyful (at least in the context of this album) banjo-picking abandon in others. As you would expect from Voodoo Rhythm there is a certain experimental element meandering around in the hinterland of this  which adds volume to the atmosphere.

VARIOUS ARTISTS

‘Leather Soul (Where The Bop Meets The Buzz) Vol 1’

(Soul)

Rocked Up 60s

8/10

You could be forgiven for thinking that this compilation was a collection of 1960s oddities that had been unearthed under piles of mouldy long-forgotten singles that couldn’t be categorised. At least I hope you can because when I stuck this on that’s what I thought was when I heard rocked thus up, soul, blues and even funk that more that dip into rocknroll. Having collected and listened to as much rockabilly and its myriad of bastardisations over the years I was a little perturbed that not one of the tracks were familiar to me, songs yes but tracks no. Well that’s because the album is a compilation of contemporary rockin’ luminaries mixing it all together and coming up with material that is ultimately utterly authentic while so fresh it takes your breath away.

JOHNNY WINTER

‘Roots’

(Megaforce)

Grammy winning legend has fun with the classics

7/10

Johnny Winter is a Grammy winning, Woodstock original, blues legend who pretty much played with everyone who is anyone since the 1960s. There is no disputing that when it comes to playing blues guitar is not only one of the best practitioners still performing today but an innovator and originator of the style who has been a massive influence on decades of musicians. So when he decides to record an album of blues roots classics you know what you are going to get a master-class in his art and that is what you get here. 10 of the 11 tracks also feature guest whose names will have aficionados in raptures. OK you may think that you don’t really need another album of blues standards, but do you have one that has been done better?

RESTLESS

‘Live At The Klub Foot’

THE TALL BOYS

‘Live At The Klub Foot’

(Trophy)

So live you can almost taste the cider, whizz and blood.

The first two albums on the Trophy label created to release the wealth of material that is being painstakingly restored and digitally re-mastered from largely unreleased tapes recorded live at The Klub Foot in the mid-1980s. The sound is top quality aiming to give the listener the most authentic experience possible, tracks that were previously released have had added crowd noise and musical overdubs removed so you get the performances warts and all. Restless were one of thee main draws at the legendary Hammersmith venue and you can hear why here as they pummel through a 13 track set like a freight train. The Tall Boys were born from the ashes of the early Meteors and just oozed great songs, 11 of them here. The appetite is whetted for what is to follow.
