As usual at this time of the week, I've been polishing up the playlist for the latest's Just Some Punk Songs show (Sunday at 8pm UK time https://gpr.mixlr.com/) and I notice that another of the legendary 70's punk bands have unveiled a new single and after a listen I've decided to give it a miss. It'll get plenty of attention elsewhere and let's be honest, it's nowhere near as exciting as some of the awesome music being released by a host of hungry new up and comers. Bands that still have fire burning in their bellies. Bands like this...
Regal Cheer (https://www.facebook.com/regalcheer) are a duo from Brighton; Max Cleworth (Guitar/Vocals) and Harry Menear (Drums/Vocals). They've just released a very energetic and highly impressive debut album titled Cans. I've already played a couple of the singles from it on the show so today I'll showcase one of the other tracks.
If you haven't heard them yet, you're in for a treat. They're simultaneously angry and joyful, the subject matter of the songs can be dark but it's all performed with great gusto. It's one of those albums from which you can't find a duff track. Stop reading and go check it out. It's available on vinyl, cassette and digital download from Beth Shalom Records https://regalcheer.bandcamp.com/album/cans
Impossible to choose a favourite so I'll pretty much draw this out of a hat, it's called Tenner...
