Some days before here was the news about a project of Chris Constantinou (The Wolfmen, Adam Ant) and Paul Frazer (Prodigy, Black Futures). They gathered a bunch of legendary British and American punk/ska/new wave artists and made together an album under the name of The Mutants. They went to Japan and did the same thing with members of Guitar Wolf (atomic garage „lock and lol” trio from Nagasaki. They provoked Eric Friedl from The Oblivians to start the Goner Records in 1993. After the first sight he wanted to publish their album. ) +  The 5.6.7.8’s (all-female rockabilly rock and roll trio. They’re famous from their appearance in Tarantino’s Kill Bill vol 1.) + Mika Bomb (London based 3/4 Japanese all girl pop punk band) + Jackie & The Cedirics (surf rock trio) + The Neatbeats (beat) + The Let’s Go’s (all-girl candy rock and roll trio) and more. Here is a song

PC Worship is a Brooklyn base band. The main figure is Justin Frye who played with psychedelic rock group Guardian Alien and punk band Gary War. No wave noise punk chaos and cacaphony by a bunch of musician. It’s like a mix of Butthole Surfers, Lydia Lunch and Foetus (aka Clint Ruin).

Barbara Lehnhoff didn’t want to become a musician – like so many other individuals, but her debut album of this year under moniker of Camilla Sparksss is better than the new Laibach. You can find danceable technoid rhythms and electro-industrial punk tunes on it.

Scrabbled is a music collective in Brisbane (Aus) with members from Clag, Per Purpose and many more. They are play real pop music. You can find just hits with catchy refrains on their album. But these tracks are too human, so aren’t good for radio stations. On the other hand it’s real punk music. Free, noisy and foul-mouthed, but too free for punks. „Urban folk” is also a good phrase for their music, it as if would be played by a common project of Velvet Underground and Mad Nanna. The latter is also a cult band.

Hard Left – 7″ lathe cut and digital on Future Perfect Records (US)

Hard Left is a hard mod band from members of #1 Smash Hits, Boyracer and Manatee in Oakland. Class war, Marxism and all that jazz, but I swear that listen to it so good, but I can’t do it without laughing.

It’s not easy pop music, rather pretty brutal, miraculous haunted gospel folk trip-hop soul by 26 years old Canadian singer songwriter Al Spx, who is working with her 6-piece band under the name of Cold Specks. Many of her songs are based on junk- shopped old photos and postcards. „It’s insane how many people throw away their old photos. Some of them are absolutely stunning and I just wonder what made these people throw them out – What is their story? Why is this woman doing that? Why is there a creepy man standing in the background?”

Neuroplasticity – LP/CD/digital – order here. Michael Gira (Swans) appears on a track. The collaboration started with Spx singing on Swans’ last album.

She dropped out of school, but hadn’t told her parents and secretly began worked at a call center. Around that time, she handed a collection of songs to a friend of hers, who passed it on to his brother, who happened to be a record producer in London.

„Call centers… I always say it’s the worst job in the world. It’s just hell.”
