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!

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.
