It's been a while since Ade Bailey contributed to Just Some Punk Songs, I guess resurrecting his band The Lost Weekend (https://thelostweekend1.bandcamp.com/) and working on an album for new project Death Of Our Fathers (https://deathofourfathers.bandcamp.com/) must be pretty time consuming but he's paused for breath long enough to bring us a recommendation today...
As we all know, sniffing glue is nothing to laugh about. It is, however, something you can absolutely write a catchy two and a half minute punk song about.
Here are The Liabilities AD (https://www.facebook.com/TheLiabilitiesAD) with just such a track. Based in the deepest heart of the trendy West Country that isn’t Bristol, the Trowbridge 4-piece have released this ahead of a forthcoming EP.
Made up of members previously in acts such as Nobody’s Heroes and Bogus Gasman, they deliver a traditional old school sound but without the cartoon and fake Camden tourist punk image that puts me off so many other bands. ‘Airfix’ is a terrific taster for the EP, wrapped around a spikey, infectious riff from guitarist Sam Butler, it gets straight to the point and into your head instantly.
Singer Andy Owen laments the shortcomings of everyone’s favourite model glue over his preferred weapon of choice, a bag of Evostick. Much frivolity ensues as he name checks Revell and Tamiya in what is almost certainly the first Punk track dedicated to the delights of getting high whilst building a model Spitfire!
By the end, you’ll be joining in the crowd refrain of “Aiiiiirrrfix!” and singing it as you go about your day. I’ve seen the band a few times live and they are well worth checking out. I believe the EP will be available on vinyl too which is always a bonus...
