Jeffrey Thunders & The Scabs are getting through these difficult times by releasing music. There seems to be something new by them every other week. Their latest single dropped a couple of days ago and I'd say it's their best yet.
Jeffrey's no stranger to this blog, he's featured with The Lost Riots and The Ratz but being in 2 bands obviously isn't enough. When I interviewed him back in December (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/12/interview-with-jeffrey-thunders-lost_28.html) he told me that The Scabs were basically just him and Scott Fitch writing songs for fun and that they were a once in a blue moon kind of thing with there being no intention of it being a full blown band. Obviously those blue moons are coming round a little more regularly nowadays.
Influenced by New York Dolls, Replacements, Rancid etc, the new single is a short blast of tuneful old school punk. The production is spot on and Jeffrey's distinctive snotty vocals are backed by a cool as fuck sounding organ played by Vinnie Pecoraro (Sonorous Rising, ex Dead City Riot). It's timeless stuff and you can grab it "name your price" here : https://jeffreythundersandthescabs.bandcamp.com/album/still-bleeding
