One very welcome newcomer to the punk rock scene in 2020 is Laptop Punk Records. Named (I'm assuming) after a song (https://outloudrecords.bandcamp.com/track/laptop-punk) by The Gungans which featured on their Meesa Meesa Meesa! album, it's a label created by Gungans vocalist and Just Some Punk Songs favourite Grim Deeds (https://grimdeeds.bandcamp.com/). If you thought Grim Deeds was prolific in releasing his own music, you ain't seen nothing yet! The first Laptop Punk Records release was a song by Rocky Rochelle called Don't Sweat The Smallpox. It came out on the 18th October. In the 2 months since then there's been about 24 other releases including music by the likes of Vista Blue, The Anti-Bodies, Pavid Vermin, Brad Marino, The Биты, Marina Surfinbird and many more.
Plus there's the only song released this year by J Prozac, vocalist with Westfield, Massachusetts pop punk legends The Prozacs. It's a song which sees Jay ably backed by a couple of his Prozacs bandmates, drummer Jimmy Craig and bassist Kyle Carnage. There's also the welcome return on vocals of his wife and former Stiletto Bomb front woman Andy Nihilate.
It's Jay at his bittersweet best. He's wanting to turn back the clock and do things differently but of course that's not how life works. It's about struggling not to live in the past but finding it hard to move on and let sleeping dogs lie. Jay knows he needs to let go but it's not easy. It's called Regret...
