The Stranglers-Giants

Hi dear readers....I was going to touch on the whole Megaupload thing but I feel the other blogs have done a good job of that. Just wonder how long Mediafire and Rapidshare will go on.

BUT that is not the reason for the post! Nope! Many of you may know that I love UK punk...especially from the period of 1976-1979. The Stranglers are one of my favorite bands bar none! With that said, I really enjoyed Norfolk Coast and loved Suite XVI....I have been reading reviews of their new one entitled "Giants" and from all the gushing press I have read, this could be one of their best. I am excited like a kid on Christmas Eve...This comes out March 5th...so go and buy it!

Here's all the stuff that did not make it onto Wide Eyes And Nonesense for magoo! Thanks again Chris for hooking me up. Much appreciated. Folks, do yourself a favor and check out this band. They were amazing.

I FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could I forget this?????????????????????? This is the album of the year by a million miles. Sorry Johnny, Darius, and Greg....By far this is short of amazing, and I never use the word amazing (until today)

Civilized Society? Violence Sucks

Dunno much about this band. Who was in it, what other bands they played in etc.....I am not going to pretend that I am so expert on them as I really don't know a whole lot other than they released Scrap Metal before this. This is great Anarcho Punk done with dual male-female lead vocals with some metallic flourishes going on. Pre-curser to Grindcore?? Dunno. This album is well written and just plain rocking. Man I am a sucker for female singers ala Beki Bondage, or bands like Los Cherees, Icon AD, Rubella etc.

Best Of 2011

Well here we are on New Years Eve...and yes, the typical best of list. I was not going to do one this year but at the last minute I decided to. Let's hope that 2012 is a great year and that all of you that visit here have a great year.

This list might be incomplete but hey here we are. Occupying the number 1 spot is....



1. Angelic Upstarts- The Dirty Dozen Split with Crashed Out
Who would have thought that Mensi and co. would put out new material...Their best in YEARS
2. Toy Dolls- Credit Crunch Christmas song
I always have time for this band. Olga has seemed to go back to an earlier style...love it!
3. Vice Squad-Punk Rock Radio
Great new album by Beki and the boys!
4. New Chords split with The Templars
I would love to hear more stuff from this French Oi! band. Ex-Veros here!
5. Amebix- Sonic Mass
Yessss some real nice new stuff from this Anarcho band that has come back from the dead

That is it...not too much here because in my opinion 2011 sucked for music.
