Devious Ones - Stylus To Speaker
You may remember The Putz, the fun pop punk trio from Indianapolis who had a song in my end of season "best of" and who I featured last July ( http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/the-putz-operate.html ).
The drummer from that band, Dougie Tangent, is also the human metronome (and backing vocalist) with Devious Ones, a new band from Detroit, Michigan. They also feature Eric Villa (vocals), Daniel Boustany (bass) and Amado Guadarrama (guitar/backing vocals). If you come back tomorrow I'll be posting Dougie's favourite 10 songs of all time.
As far as I'm aware there's only 3 tracks that have so far seen the light of day and those can be heard here : https://soundcloud.com/dougie-tangent
A loving homage to some of their favourite bands (The Dictators, New York Dolls, UK Subs, Husker Du etc) this is Stylus To Speaker.....
Take me away with a Long Play
Or a well worn 45
Pull the record out the jacket
And that’s when I feel alive
Put on a platter and now the world don’t matter no more….
Cut a rug, the living room is now a dance floor x2
Every pop and every crackle has it’s own little tale to tell
From the stylus to the speaker x2
Every skip that I know so well
Sometimes all it takes to get me through another day is a dose of
“Bloodbrothers” or “Too Much, Too Soon”
Every lousy feeling all seems to melt away when the tone arm hits the record
and I hear that tune.

Sometimes all it takes to get me through another day is “Another Kind of Blues”
or some “Zen Arcade”
Every lousy feeling all seems to melt away when the tone arm hits the record
and it starts to play.
