CC and the Hairy Area : CC and the Hairy Area (Popular Affliction Rec.) 2022
Fúbazmeg ez aztán tényleg ritka genyó egy valami! Mint valami elbaszott Suicide, csak punkabb és NAGYON Low-Fi. Ez mondjuk az első két számra lehet(?) igaz a másik kettő kicsit másabb. Az egyik olyasmi mint a Mononegatives (róluk >> ITT << írtunk nemrég) a másik meg mondjuk…fogjuk rá mint az ausztrál Gee Tee, de itt az ének olyan dallamos meg tán még tiszta is, hogy elsőre kurvára nem is tetszett, aztán azon vettem észre magam, hogy ezt dúdolgatom órákkal később is. Lehet ez a legjobb dal a négy közül.
Kevés az infó: Egy Chris nevű kaliforniai srác játszotta és vette fel az egészet.
Mind a négy dal >> ITT <<
Lafff Box : Lafff Box (Turbo Discos) 2022
Kurvajó négy számos 7″ a német Turbo Discos kiadótól akik idén igen aktívak voltak és nagyon fasza dolgokat adtak ki (Ex-White, Lassie,theGobs,). A Lafff Box is német banda, jófajta gyors, tekerős punk brutál ritmusszekcióval, brutáljó hangzással és kurvajó dalokkal. Az egész annyira feszes, hogy van egy ilyen robot szerű, mechanikus hatása, kábé mint a The Spits-nek, vagy Rich Crook bizonyos dolgainak, mint a LOVER! vagy a Thing. És dögöljek meg, én belehallok egy kis Daily Void-ot meg Functional Blackouts-t is. Nagy örömömre! De a kedvencem számom egyértelműen a Weird Punch, arról meg egy másik német punk banda a Modern Pets jut az eszembe, amit imádok! Szóval engem levettek a lábamról, bármikor jöhetnének RNR666 Buliba Budapestre!
A Lefff Box tagjai más bandákban is játszanak: Ex-White, Lassie (na, ők majdnem jöttek RNR666 Buliba, de az egész túrnét hidegre tette a covid első hulláma).A dobosnak van egy solo izéje a Dee Bee Rich az is jó!

GREAT ARTISTS > INDEPENDENT LABELS > BRAND NEW RECORDS
1. Two from The Flying Luttenbachers formed short-lived Chicago no-wave band MY NAME IS RAR-RAR in 2000. Later vocalist of Xerobot joined them. And later their drummer formed XADDAX with post-hardcore math rock band Dazzling Killmen guitarist. MY NAME IS RAR-RAR recorded their first album in 2003 but broke up before mixing it. Now this fuckin funny split 7″ EP brings a pair of newly mixed and mastered tracks from that final recording session together with two new XADDAX songs on SKIN GRAFT RECORDS (US). And this is the premiere of the song „One”
2. „post punk rock psychedelic now country sometimes disco indie rock and roll”. I take the risk that I wrote this about JAZZ BUTCHER during the listening of their 1989 album BIG PLANET SCARY PLANET from the 4 albums box set reissue series THE VIOLENT YEARS on FIRE RECORDS (UK). But before there were THE WASTED YEARS. Anyway if you want to know more about them you can find more in KILLBONOCLUB 10
3. French SCANERS play punk rock and roll like Ramones, Dickies, Devo, Suicide, Spits, Les Thugs just somewhere between the 4th and 5th dimensions. Debut album very soon album on Dirty Water UK and a bunch of French labels: Adrenalin Fix Music, Casbah Records, Dangerhouse Skylab, Teenage Hate Records, Strychnine Recordz and Trokson Records
4. Komodina 3 was a Greek band. Everybody knows them but nobody saw them to play. Like the band Ghost Train (or Kummitusjuna) in the film Zombie & The Ghost Train by Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki which is among my favorites. The story of Komodina 3 started n 2005 in Thessaloniki. Some musicians recorded an album, made 80 CD copies, hand-delivered them to some local men of taste. But they didn’t drive to their only show because was too cold out. Seven years after the owner of Slovenly Records heard his CD in a van during the euro tour of his label’s two Greek bands, Bazooka and Gay Anniversary, and he released it. One of them started electro-punk solo career as NOMOS 751. Debut album on SLOVENLY RECORDS (US)
5. French drum duet DEUX BOULES VANILLE triggering analogic synthesizers, making grindcore constructions, techno and dub improvisations. Idiotic music. Danceable. New album PLANET GOUGOU on KYTHIBONG RECORDS soon.
6. For twenty years API UIZ was a polyrhythmic multicolored punky math rock-like trio from Bordeaux. They have influenced an entire generation of French musicians by their ferociously independent way they play and produce “raw, unworked, but structured music” which was the title of their debut album. Since 2015 API UIZ is a quintet. PEPLUM, their first album with the extended line-up released now on 12″ vinyl on Kythibong, Les Potagers Natures, Mon Cul C’est Du Tofu, La République Des Granges, Attila Tralala (Belgium) and Red Wig Records (Germany)
7. LADY BIRD is a movie about a young, rebellious woman living in Sacramento, California and the constraints studying at a Catholic high school. Its soundtrack was composed by JON BRION who can be known from bands like The Excerpts, The Bats, and The Grays or his film scores from eg Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The Lady Bird soundtrack will be released soon for the first time on vinyl via FIRE SOUNDTRACKS (UK) and LAKESHORE RECORDS (US). It’s a strange big puzzle of different melancholic moods. Anyway Brion is featured as keyboardist and drummer on Marianne Faithfull’s 2003 album, Kissin Time, and co-wrote a song, „City of Quartz”, for her next work, 2005’s Before the Poison.
8. Crazy, chaotic, frantic, but melodic Spanish garage rock and roll band WAU Y LOS ARRRGHS!!! released a sold out in a flash 7″ single on their farewell gig last year. Out again on 2 Feb on SLOVENLY RECORDS!
9.
The Spanish Sinner bros with Carmelo Tornado formed the punk band HOLLYWOOD SINNERS. Album KHÖME KAKKÄ released now on DIRTY WATER RECORDS. At first I did not like it. I don’t understand why, because during the 3rd listening I found – Hey, this is fucking good! Since I love them.
10. Dirty, filthy rock n roll with a dark sense of humour from New Zealand by THE CAVEMEN. Debut album first time on vinyl with two bonus tracks: „Swamp Thing” + „Juvenile Delinquent” on DIRTY WATER RECORDS (UK)
11. A fresh indie-pop hit song from Sweden with cold by HATER. Red Blinders EP released on FIRE RECORDS
12. RIK & THE PIGS: nothing special just total punk. A CHILD GATOR album on TOTAL PUNK RECORDS (US)
13. Bad dream pop by New Yorker movie maker ALEXEI SISHKIN. New album, on cassette by FORGED ARTIFACTS (US)
14. The hymnic song Still Alive celebrates the present and welcomes the unknown by Scottish indie pop band THE SPOOK SCHOOL, but they are punks just like the Buzzcocks or Joanna Gruesome, but with a transgender with a beautiful moustache, and this is what a simple woman can’t.
COULD IT BE DIFFERENT? album on ALCOPOP (UK) and SLUMBERLAND (US)
15. DRIFT is the seventh full-length by NYC rock polymaths THE MEN. Release soon on SACRED BONES RECORDS. Collaborators: Delicate Steve on guitars, Parker Kindred (Antony & The Johnsons, Jeff Buckley) on drums, and Chris Coady (Beach House) as producer.
16. Nowadays Glasgow based alien-obsessed hyperactive girl KEEL HER plays high standard lo-fi sometimes noisy outsider bedroom pop alone. But with her band! It’s a revelation. Just like the Breeders were in the 90s. I know it. I was there with 28 lucky ones to see them on 22 Dec in Refugee Info Bus Fundraising Party at DIY SPACE FOR LONDON
17. MOON DUO worked up a version of ‘Jukebox Babe’ because their sound engineer Larry got it stuck in his head and was singing it all the time. And on the other side of the EP there is No Fun for the the 70th birthday of Iggy Pop. Released on SACRED BONES
18. Psychedelic ambient country band SUSS members have worked in various capacities with Lydia Lunch, the B-52s, Rubber Rodeo, k.d. Lang, David Bowie, John Cale, Wilco, Norah Jones, The War On Drugs, Burt Bacharach, and countless others. Their debut album GHOST BOX is a trip in the mid-western desert. It’s not psychedelic, it’s hallucinogen.
19. I am very surprised. I did not wait for anything special, but this is an exceptionally good album – writing this during the second track of first listening. Who is she: RUBY BOOTS? Scottish and Italian descent Australian-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter inspired by country, blues, and rock. This time her backing band is TEXAS GENTLEMEN who plays „Timeless American Music for fans of The Band, The Swampers, and Willie Nelson.”
Album DON’T TALK ABOUT IT released on BLOODSHOT RECORDS (US)
20. THE GOON MAT AND LORD BENARDO: Adrenaline and alcohol fused primal boogie mayhem from Liege, Belgium. Formerly they played as Stinky Lou and the Goon mat and lord Benardo, but Stinky left the band to open Lou’s Bar. New album TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES on VOODOO RHYTHM RECORDS (CH)
21.
“Come on baby let’s rock!
Well, OW! Woo! Ah! Ah!
Aaaah-ooo!”
It has started in Boston in 1983 when punk rock guitarist Peter Greenberg decided to form an instrumental rock and roll band, but Barry White upset his plans when he began unexpectedly singing at the record store where they worked.
Yes, Barry White, who was 11 in 1966 when his uncle took him to see the James Brown Revue and „that was my first witness of a fantastic show. (…) all the girls were screaming and the guys were going AAAHHH!!! It was wild. It was probably the biggest moment of my life – said the frontman Barrence Whitfield who was born as Barry White who after the gospel choir became a drummer, and played funk, soul and prog rock music.
After two albums the original line-up of BARRENCE WHITFIELD & THE SAVAGES disbanded in 1986 because of Greenberg and the bassist moved on, but Barrence rebuilt and kept alive the band until 1994. The three core member reunited in 2010 and now soon here is the new album SOUL FLOWERS OF TITAN. It was inspired by the cosmic outlook of Sun Ra and elaborates on the Cincinnati-based King Records and Federal Records sounds of the 1950s-‘60s.

#o2 MARAUDEUR | MARAUDEUR LP + SWIMMING POOL SCENES MIX AND MATCH
Post-happymonday post and post-salute to the post-punk lo-fi Maraudeur from Geneva, Switzerland, who were swirling through England last week!
After some tapes and an orange flexidisc this is their first LP released by the Parisian Bruit Direct Disques, the association for brick throwers, worldwide.
The vid of Nothing Will Change was recorded by the Californian Oakland based The Grassy Null Studio on VHS. The recording studio has been supporting such bands like Meat Market, Froth or Charlie Megira through years
If a swimming pool scene had a match and described a band that would be the prime for the Maraudeur: Strange Afternoon In The Swimming Pool + Hesher
more mix and match
Hidden Track (split Maraudeur/Purpur Spytt) + Julie and Franc’s sexually aroused scene from Francois Ozon’s Swimming Pool.
Dust Dries on It’s Rest (Maraudeur) + Hot Rod‘s wacky pool scene in the direction of The Lonely Island trio.
Poor Creatures That We Are (split Maraudeur/Purpur Spytt) + Spielberg’s Jaws opening scene
Hey Butt What The Fuck with Honkies
This South-London honky-tonk band was able disturbed me
with messages through various channels within a very short time
about their first single, called Entitled to Nothing
For example they wrote that „a blend of South-London scuzz incorporating elements country, electronic, post-punk and lo-fi. File next to bands such as Goat Girl, Meatraffle, Warmduscher, peeping Drexels and the Rebel”, but also Country Teasers. „Using vintage drum machines, synthesizers, guitars, bass and male/female vocals.” And thye are really just „like a drunken boat.” With Keel Her in the title song. She nowadays also appeared in other bands as Bin Bags, Administrators and maybe more.
But now I ask Jim from Honkies
– Hey! What is your temper?
– My temper is dependent on two things: bullishly high crypto-currency share prices and Hank Williams cover requests.
– Anyway what things annoy you in the weekdays?
– Lesser Honkies gigs, lesser Honkies activity.
Next gig on 20 July at the Bible Club in London
Anyway the 4th commandment of crypto currency trading: Don’t Panic.
Andy from garage-thrash band Digger and The Pussycats
as BRAT FARRAR running a one-man-punk band
and plays surprisingly various lo-fi punk music.
He said the sound is reminiscent of early Wipers, Chrome, The Spits, Suicide, a bit like My Bloody Valentine (well just the guitars) on a few tracks and sometimes like power pop bands recorded incorrectly.
And even more like his fellow Australian TV Colours. Same feeling.
Here is a fine shoegaze one, bit like My Bloody Valentine
3rd album out now. Listen to it here
CD: Off The Hip Records (AUS). Vinyl: Kizmiaz Records (France)
Humble Nation
Challenging childhood on a council estate outside Swindon (UK), saw him immerse himself in music, books and poetry as a means of escape.
„As a kid, I thought no one in the world felt like me. Then I discovered Nick Drake, Daniel Johnston, Conor Oberst and Kurt Cobain. Hearing Sparklehorse was a revelation. Their music expressed exactly how I felt. It was a hugely liberating experience because suddenly I wasn’t alone.”
„I was this loser emo kid, sitting in my room, trying to come to terms with all the negativity in my life. As self-therapy, I made these little songs about how I felt. Writing them was a cathartic release. Rather than carry this heavy subject matter around in my head, which made me depressed, I turned it in to music. I took the cliche´s of pop – the structure, the form, the earworm hooks, the emphasis on rhythm – and made them ugly in order to address wider demons. The idea that anyone would hear it was appalling. Those really were my diary entries. They were so personal and humiliating. I felt incredibly exposed.” But by accident, one of Oliver’s early songs was discovered by Adrian Dutt, his co-worker at a Bristol record store and co-owner of Howling Owl Records.
“You’re So Kool-Aid, for example, has a catchy tune, a beat and a bass synth. It’s funky, but it’s about suicide.”
From the album Post-Frenz Container Buzz
LP on Howling Owl Records (UK). Digital
LC PUMPKIN PLAYS THEE OH SEES
LC PUMPKIN comes from a shambolic low-fidelity musical attempt Les Cactus & The Rumpy Pumpkins, somewhere from Brighton. He makes funny tinker music with fuzz banjo, piano, sampler, cut & paste backbeats. It rattles and clicks. As if every sound would be clinched together loosly. He has made an EP with four Thee Oh Sees covers. Of course these are very particular covers, would be hard to recognize the original ones:
1. The Gouger (Sucks Blood, 2007)
2. Tidal Wave (7″ single 2009).
3. Koka Kola Jingle (The Master’s Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In, 2008)
4. Make Them Kiss (Demos EP, 2007)
Published with kind permission from John Dwyer. He said they’re „interesting takes of the tunes”. FREE DOWNLOAD
You can see LC PUMPKIN with Samara Lubelski and Stephen Steinbrink on 4th of October at The Lexington in London.

Messy Ghost Pop from Secret Valley
Originally Secret Valley was an Australian children’s television adventure series. There was a holiday camp which had been transformed from a run down ghost town into a resort. The children often found themselves in battle against a gang of „bad” kids. These battles usually featured flour bombs and other food related missiles and everyone inevitably ended up in a big mess. The children have grown up and make this messy ghost pop music
