One of the songs that went down best on last week's show (https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-020619/) was a track off the new album by London post punks Hygiene. The band features the unlikely monikered Dick Turpentine (bass), Guy L. Less (guitar), Nat King Dole (vocals) and Pat C. Bedsit (drums) and they list amongst their influences the likes of The Faces, Cock Sparrer, The Sweet, Glitter Band, Roxy Music and Cockney Rebel (though everyone just seems to compare them to The Fall).
It's been 8 years since debut album Public Sector was released by La Vida Es Un Mus (not heard it? go snap it up "name your price" https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/public-sector-lp). The follow up is titled Private Sector and this time it's on Upset The Rhythm (if vinyl's your thing go here : http://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/product/hygiene-private-sector-lp-pre-order). There's a few decent "proper" reviews been posted online that you could do worse than checking out (The Quietus, Dusted, Wire) so I'll just tell you it's really good and give you a link to their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Hygiene-126660907380779/
This song will go down well with fans of one of Just Some Punk Songs' current favourites, Vintage Crop (https://vintagecrop.bandcamp.com/). Shouting about costume dramas, Routemaster busses, the royal family, Sunday roasts etc, this is English Disease....
