On yesterday's Just Some Punk Songs show I played a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czN5tKWu_gs) by Melbourne band Money Boys (https://www.facebook.com/MONEYBOYSS) which went down particularly well with the listeners in the chatroom. The song was called New Skin/New Century and it was taken from the band's album New Modern Architecture.
It's a double A sided single with one song, Sydney Road Ceremony, being a 4 minute mid paced look back at a lifetime of wrong choices leading to a lonely death.
This track is a more sprightly affair about being ready for love. It's called Fully Charged...
Back in January 2023 I posted a very impressive Killed By Death style punk song called American Tower (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/01/rotary-club-american-tower.html). It was the debut single by a band from Reno, Nevada called Rotary Club. I admitted at the time that I didn't know anything about the band and I still don't. The song seemed to be about landline telephones but I didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics, I was too busy bouncing off the walls enjoying the high tempo music.
But now the band have an album upcoming and it appears they're really into their telephones. The album's going to be released on Iron Lung Records on December 13th (on vinyl & digital), it'll be titled Sphere Of Service and with titles such as Touch Tone, My Landline, Phonemate etc it's not difficult to spot a theme running through it.
I don't think there's much doubt it's going to be a great album so ring all your friends and tell them to watch out for it. This is the opening track, it's called Safety Line...
In every current lies a danger: interference from a stranger. Keep it close for your protection, keep it close and stay connected to a safety line. In the circuit, there is power. In the system, there is trust. Plenipotentiary invitation shields the line from deviation. Citizen nodes in the network, signal flows -- you are the safety line. Loop is closed, ground to orbit. No need for copper, voltage stored in common people on a common wire. Never let go of that safety line.
By my calculations, I make it that this is the 6th time Bart And The Brats (https://www.facebook.com/bartandthebrats) have featured on this blog. Quite some going but I guess it just shows how consistent they are when it comes to turning out catchy punk tunes.
When I say they, I suppose I mean he as in the studio the band is the solo project of Bart De Vraantijk who's been doing this sort of thing in numerous cool bands for several years now. "The Brats" supplement the line up for live shows.
The new ep will be 4 more upbeat garage punk tunes, it'll be released on November 8th via Dirty Water and Roaring Blood Records Records and as well as the digital download you'll be able to get it on ltd (300 copies) 7" vinyl. Influenced by the likes of The Ramones, Zeros, Kids & Teenage Head you pretty much know what you're going to get before you click play.
Daves (https://www.facebook.com/wearedaves) are from Leeds, they formed in 2016, released a couple of eps in 2018 and then "took some time out for life stuff."
But they decided it was time to once again grace us with their presence and they've returned with a cracking new single. It's a rallying cry against the "patriots" who see themselves as knights in shining armour but in reality are Carling supping sheep in tin foil.
They describe it thus... In "An Act of Terrorism," DAVES confronts the chilling realities of intolerance and division, challenging listeners to the irony in the violence that stems from so-called patriotism and their reactionary ranting of terrorism. With raw, driving soundtrack and aggressive vocals, the band delivers a potent mix of punk energy and socio-political commentary, urging fans to take a stand against the Union Jack clad bigotry.
Burn your city to the ground Blame the people who look brown Rip up the bricks that pave the roads Whilst yelling stop the boats
This is not patriotism This is an act terrorism
Share tommy and line his pocket Help hate make a profit Broadcasted for the Union Jack But a broad cast mind is what you lack
This is not patriotism This is an act of terrorism
You don’t speak for us or protect our children You don’t speak for us you don’t speak for Britain We’ve said it loud We’ve said it clear Refugees are welcome here
The Threats (https://linktr.ee/thethreats) are a young Brit punk band from the east midlands who've just released what I think is their third single (the 1st 2 being Working Man and Electric Machines).
They're new to me but seem to be building up a fair bit of momentum. All 3 singles are impressive and they've a headline gig coming up at The Shed, Leicester on November 2nd where they'll be supported by Hex Poseur & Marvin's Revenge.
I'm getting some impressive post punk vibes from this one, the vocals are great and the musicianship is spot on. On this evidence, they're going to keep on with that upward trajectory. It's called Time Waits For No Man...
They're back today with a standout track from a new 6 track ep on Die Hipster Records titled Black Mass. This time around, Jeffrey is aided and abetted by regular guitarist Scott Fitch and by drummer Elvis Belushi. They aren't reinventing the wheel, it's the usual short bursts of primitive punk tuneage with Jeffrey's distinctive vocals on top. You know what to expect and you're glad when you get it.
You can get it on (very limited) vinyl or digital download :
As for band members, the recent addition of Saskia (from Ambulanz and Pizza 3 Euro) sees them expand to a quintet (the other members being Cornelius, Alice, Anne & Schnitte).
It's not always easy to muster the enthusiasm to keep this blog going. I get lots of submissions, many that are fine but are either featured in plenty of other places or don't really get my juices flowing so I tend to overlook them in favour of the music I stumble upon myself that pricks up my ears.
Hopefully your ears are pricked too. This is Catcalling...
A sad goodbye today to Nottingham rockers The Hip Priests (https://www.facebook.com/thehippriests). Sadly, after a glorious 18 years they're calling it a day.
But they're going out on a high with farewell ep We Become Nothing. 6 final tracks of ferocious garage punk goodness, a fitting finale from a great band.
I guess if you're going to bow out, do it on a high. Leave 'em wanting more.
This track takes no prisoners, featuring a contribution from Meryl Streek, it hits out at our land of hope, glory and casual racists. It's called Home Is Where The Hate Is...
Now they return with a tour (which includes both US & UK gigs).
THE BRIEFS: USA live dates:
Nov 06 Portland OR @ Twilight Cafe
Nov 07 Seattle WA @ Freakout Fest (no Fan Club)
Nov 08 San Francisco CA @ Bottom of the Hill

They'll also be reissuing their debut single Poor and Weird b/w Rotten Love (with a 1st vinyl pressing since it's original release 25 years ago).
And if that isn't enough, next month will also see them treating us to a new single. Punk rock wrapped in a power pop fist, you know these guys will never disappoint. The High Society ep will be available from TKO Records.
Well, I wanted to share this Antwerp band with the world. Honestly it is not exactly my cup of tea.
I just bumped into this band when I was on lookout for some poppy punk for my friend in Canada.
So I knew exactly where to check: Bearded Punk Records, a label that specializes in melodic hardcore and punk. I found a few options for my mate (I owed him for a trade): some of my preferred bands - Bruce and The Priceduifkes - and this For I Am record that I checked out and just knew he was going to like.
Despite my preference for amateurism and near miss hi-fi recordings, I must say I listened to this bunch a few times. There is some heavy metallic stuff in their material, and honestly, objectively, this record is one hell of a production too. Count in the very strong vocal parts of Luna Terweduwe and you can be assured this won't go unnoticed.
You don’t have a clue about what to do In this sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky situation Well, as you go you make the rules We’re in a state of deprivation Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Jack shit! Your campaign is one big sales pitch Your p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-policy is full of choices That only serve to aid the rich Ignoring all of our voices Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Jack shit! Promises. Well, cross your heart and hope to die.
I was already quite excited with their 12" release from 2 years ago, however this one has got to hit the jackpot. There's a lot of great stuff been released already this year, but this one will be heavy competition.
As for me, I ain't sick of this band yet
The album is available as a name your price download...
There's a new album, Black Russians III due for release in time for Halloween and there'll be a 12" LP (ltd to 100 copies) available from Memorable But Not Honorable (US) and Punk Rock Vinyl (Europe).
As the band themselves say... "Imagine the melodic bite of Ramones punk colliding headfirst with 80s metal fury, with a shot of Turbonegro attitude for good measure. It’s raw, it’s relentless, and it’s got the kind of energy that’ll tear through your speakers and leave nothing but destruction in its wake."
They've just released the first single from it, it's got a title that'll be familiar to horror movie buffs, it's called Last House On The Left...
He told me "Hi Mick, I hope you're well. I got quite angry this year and I wrote some hardcore songs and formed a hardcore band with a dumb name! These things happen."
So I checked out the band's newly released debut ep, Rise From The Rubble, and I was blown away.
As well as Josh on vocals, the band also feature members of Uneven & Crippled Old Farts; Drums by Ricardo, Bass by Guillaume & Guitar by Jeremie. They make angry songs in angry times. We're all stumbling towards an uncertain and terrifying future but Ultra Lead won't go quietly.
This is the lead track, it's about indoctrination and how easy it is to lead people down dark paths. It's called Put Garbage In Get Garbage Out...
Put garbage in Get Garbage Out
Put garbage in.
Get garbage out
Put garbage in
get garbage out
Put a load of stupid shit in their heads
ya get garbage out
Put a bunch of racist shit on the news
Ya get garbage out

There were some independent records around, and that's what ours was. It was Patrick's (the drummer's) doing. He actually financed it and did the whole thing. I simply wouldn't have had the money. We all went up to London and there was a cheap recording studios somewhere right out in North London. A really nice guy called Marcus who was a bit of a Hunt Saboteur and general Anarchist guested on saxophone, and the whole recording was done in 2 hours...I think I just had 2 takes. Patrick then got 1000 pressed and set himself up in the Student Coffee Bar selling the singles. And we sold well and got more pressings. Because there just weren't any singles around by punk bands in any number, we were reviewed by all the music papers. In those days the music papers ruled....you just went and bought what the music papers liked...there was no way of previewing what they'd sound like, you just had to go and buy. "Sounds" gave us an amazing review, Melody Maker good I think and the others said we were "amateurish" I expect. But the reviews helped Patrick to organize a tour. We played 6 or 7 dates in a week in some pretty weird places from Bradford to Cornwall but always to "a crowd" and it was never a disaster. But I don't think the single got any airplay at all..... there just wasn't that kind of opportunity.... only Radio One and I'm not even sure if John Peel had got his show going in those days and that was only 2 hours a day. But you would never get played on Radio One during the day....it was all Agadoo.
The song that I'd featured in the earlier update was Amory Building and I'm happy to see it covered on the new album by CLASS. The band are from Tucson, Arizona and they're no strangers to this blog (for example they were on it in July https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/07/class-first-to-finish-last.html). The album's titled A Healthy Alternative and I guess it's accurate to say that it's a top class release so go get yourselves acquainted with it
If you are familiar with those releases or you're a fan of catchy lo-fi pop punk tunes you'll be interested to hear there's a new album called Digital Pet coming out on October 18th via Erste Theke Tontraeger. You can get those pre orders in here : https://erstetheketontraeger.bandcamp.com/album/ett-106-1-800-mikey-digital-pet-lp
This is the very infectious opening track, it's called Rental Girlfriend...
Lizard Brain (https://www.facebook.com/LizardBrain666) are a lo-fi garage punk trio from London who's line up is described thus; PEDANTIC PAUL - SIX STRINGS AND HOWLING STIX CHAMPION - SKINS AND DOO WOPS DEE KNUCLES - WHOMPING BASS AND BACK BLEETS.
He's commented "Music stuff: off to The Library in Oxford this evening to see Killer Kowalski support Secret Rivals" and then followed up with "Loved them. Highlight of the night."
So I had to investigate and discovered that they released an album a couple of months ago titled Gerbils Eat Their Young.
A little bit about them... Killer Kowalski (https://www.facebook.com/killerkowalskiband) are a quartet from Oxford (so don't confuse them with a 90's band from New York). They tag themselves on Bandcamp (https://killerkowalski1.bandcamp.com/track/suffocate-the-children) as a punk band and whilst they certainly are that, they don't let the genre confine them. Not only do they turn out tunes that are a bit more ambitious than your typical 3 chord thrash, they write lyrics that demand your attention. And according to Stefan, they're damn good live so check them out.
This song is as good as any to highlight, it's called Suffocate the Children...
This time around they feature on a new compilation from Paperface Zine titled Action Now! A Paperface Zine Benefit for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. All the proceeds from the comp go to the Palestine children's relief fund to address the urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza. It's packed with exclusive demos, covers, and unreleased tracks and you can find it here : https://paperfacezine.bandcamp.com/album/action-now-a-paperface-zine-benefit-for-the-palestine-childrens-relief-fund
The Itchy and the nits song extols the virtues of taking off your pants and letting the sun shine on your cheeks! It's called Nudie Beach...
Itches - Master Of Time taken from Two Flies In One Clap 12" (UhmYeahSure Records & Ronny Rex)
"The band’s sound is infused with cheap canned alcoholic beverages, resulting in a perfect blend of wild garage poppiness, 60s freakbeat, primal punk, and most of all, heavyweight jangle."
Well, no need for me to say more. This garage punk gem was recorded by Rafael Valles Hilario, mastermind behind the Belly Button label and recording engineer; multi instrumentalist in various ongoing or no longer going bands. (I really recommend to check MOAR and Tuff Guac!).
By the looks of it I failed to discover their first 12" (Kingdom Upstairs, 2022) but this new release came to my attention when the label Ronny Rex used a little more media to announce their products. In fact I try to check most stuff this label brings out, they have a fantastic catalogue of releases.
Opening track Master Of Time blends garage punk with a fantastic groove that moves into a psyched solo break before returning back into that jangly tune.
The new album by The Putz (https://www.facebook.com/theputzrock). It's called Too Little Too Late and as it's by The Putz you know it's catchy as fuck.
They're a trio that are mostly from Indiana; Billy Putz (bass/vocals), Dougie Tangent (drums/backing vocals) & Classic Pat (guitar/backing vocals). They've featured on here a few times over the last 10 years (this was the 1st time : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-putz-operate.html).
That 2nd appearance was heralding the release of their debut album Summer Soon. And now they're back yet again ahead of album number 2, Snotty Angels. It sees the band lining up with Sami (guitar/vocals), Franki (drums/backing vocals) & Feli (bass/backing vocals) and it'll be out on 27th September on vinyl (several colours will be available) and digital download from Wanda Records (EU) and Spaghetty Town Records (US). We're promised "15 songs filled with infectious energy, jubilation and catchy-as-ever hooks."
Delivering on the promise of catchiness, this is the lead single. They say it's about the current times and how it's becoming more difficult to make sense of everything going on. It's called Devolution...
A quickie today. Last year I posted a couple of songs by Melbourne band Lothario (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/search?q=lothario). Headed up by powerhouse vocalist Annaliese Redlich (a Melbourne radio dj), they've just released a debut album on Under The Gun Records titled Hogtied.
It's everything we could have hoped for, it's a melting pot of danceable new wave with great vocals and some really interesting guitar parts. Several of the album's 13 songs are familiar from earlier releases and the new stuff is equally as impressive. It's available on vinyl and digital : https://utgrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hogtied
This track is a definite highlight, it shows off all the best aspects of the band, it's called Suckhole...
The first single from the GULL HOUSE will soon be unleashed onto the hungry hoards of the OMFUG people. These are guys from Diest, a small town half an hour drive east from where I am (around Leuven, if you don't know this shitty town you don't drink Stella).
Diest has been on the map with some special and extraordinary acts like ERO GURO and the solo project of ERO's bass player (Frankie Traandruppel) for example. From the ashes of ERO GURO and another band Coma Commander Gull House erected.
Pang Pang announced without shame "The tight riffs from Ero Guro combined with the passionate vocals from Coma Commander will burn holes in your ears and hearts."
And so it is, I was on the verge of calling in the fire brigades.
I've been listening to the release 5 times in a row. From start I knew which song to pick, but after five times through these 5 wonderful songs it got harder to pick one.... Very hard!
But ok, Mick just wants one, so I go for the opening track: Date Night In The West.
This one can go on repeat for an hour or two. It's over too fast so the urge to repeat infinitely is high!
It's song about them wanting to go out west with the in-crowd from Leuven (being west from Diest), where all the Big Boys live :-)
But mainly this track wins the prize in my little brain because I love this kind of simplicity.
I hear some Uranium Club mixed up with some cranky organ noise from PISSE and some 50/50 singing/parlando vocals too make it quirky as hell. Oh Egg Punk they call it now, right?
I keep repeating it. Belgium has some very fine products under its belt the last 10 years.
So it's Friday, the day of the week when the Just Some Punk Songs show starts taking shape. A busy day when I spend far too much time listening to new releases. But it's worth the effort, especially when I come across something as good as the new album by Essex duo The Meffs (https://www.facebook.com/Themeffsuk).
Pang Pang records have been very productive lately. This must be the 5th release this year if I'm not mistaken. And again Tom from this rather recent label brings us a very nice Belgian product.
The band notes on bandcamp read: "A rötten stew of long forgotten hopes, dreams and love. Straight in your ugly git with some fast hot legs thrashy punk hardcore"
4 'dudes' from the Courtrai area that probably hang out at the world famous local venue called the Pits. There where all the greats of the underworld have a stop to play a show, what better learning school does one need?
The boys had a split 7" out last year together with other Courtrai locals Freddie & the Vangrails, on which Röt managed to pin 9 tracks on their side. And yet again this new 12" has 14 tracks of pure coolness on 1 side. You can find the album here : https://rotstewart.bandcamp.com/album/3-tattoos-a-road-tax-bill
The sleeve already tells you not to take thing too serious and FUN is the theme to expect. The unused side of the vinyl has a fantastic print that combines Mr Stewart's head with the Motorhead skull. Oooh, what would Rodney and Lemmy think of that?
Their songs sound like having a double dose of 80 HC injected into them, which definitely appeals to elderly persons such as me. They're short enough to not bore and have some funny atmosphere around them. Thinking of Attitude Adjustment when hearing the intro of Shitty City,
a song that moves to and fro from fast hc to punk'n'roll. Real enjoyable stuff this one!
This rocking combo has been around for a good few years now, being regulars on the Belgian punk circuit with proper success. Often invited and touring abroad, it is not unlikely you may have come across their name on a bill or even have seen them live. I did so a good few times and the energy that sparks off their shows is mind-blowing. But how can such power violence band transmit that live energy onto vinyl? Well with "Until I snap" they pretty much nailed it.
They already have a string of releases of which I may baptize as modern day classic (Bedbugs for one, from 2018) so if you are familiar with those releases, I'm sure you'll notice the leap in production, recording and song writing.
This new 12", a 45 rpm mean green coloured slab of plastic contains 16 merciless attacks of brutal Power-Core ("power violence" ...I don't like that name for a "genre" actually). Trench Club opens the rollercoaster ride all through to the very last song. And the words... the words you read while being knocked out by the pounding drums & loud guitars make you wonder what is all behind the veil of anger and anxiety.
I picked Homesick, a track somewhere in the middle of side one. It grabs me completely by the throat.
A good old friend said to me "forget about solos, a good riff is what is remembered". And by jove, this riff sticks in my head. What is Eva singing here? Does she introduce a new meaning of the word Homesick? As in "sick of being at home" rather than the opposite? Things that happen at homes that aren't spoken about outside the walls of a house? Maybe I got it all wrong, but this is the power of her lyrics in general: They aren't specific, so it challenges the listener to a free interpretation. Until you snap.
R.E.D (Religion Equals Decay) (https://www.facebook.com/redfromsurrey) have been shouting against social injustice since 2013. They've featured on here a couple of times previously in posts where I've mentioned their impressive soundscape of noise and Killing Joke vibes.
And they return today with a track from their brand new album, 1979.
The band say that 1979 pinpoints the year where hope ended and a failed social and political experiment started. It's the year Labour Prime Minister Jim Callaghan was forced to go to the country after his government lost a vote of confidence. This resulted in The Conservative Party, led by Margaret Thatcher, gaining a parliamentary majority of 44 seats. There followed 18 years of Tory rule.
It was a year which the album's title track describes as a time of gimme gimme gimme. A time of uncertainty, lies, darkness and despair. It's an album on which the band don't hold back. You can find it here : https://red-religionequalsdecay.bandcamp.com/album/1979
Today I'm going to highlight a song that borrows from Don McLean's American Pie, it's called Wham Bam...
As it says on their Bandcamp page, Food Fight are a four-piece combo from Rennes, France, made up of vets from the local scene (with ex- or current members of Headliners, Abuse, Ready-Mades, Cheap Riot…). Despite them being 3 years down the line from the release of their debut single (you can find it here : https://foodfightpowerpop.bandcamp.com/), they're yet another band that I've only just come across.
It's pitched as 70s style Punk Rock and Power Pop that'll please all fans of the Good Vibrations sound - think Undertones, Protex, Moondogs…
Upon hearing the teaser single (the one you'll find below) I was also hearing strong traces of The Clash (never a bad thing to be honest). I've been lucky enough to get an early listen to the album and can say the single isn't the only "hit" on there. If you like your punk music to conjure up memories of all your school playground favourite bands then you're in for a treat.
Get this in your lugholes, it's called Justicin' The Deploables...
It's fun looking back at old updates on this blog and seeing some of the great songs I've posted (I annoyed my Oasis loving workmates today by turning the radio off when some turgid dirge by them was assaulting my ears and instead I blasted out a few random old songs off here). Some really good bands have featured over the last decade, some of those bands have gone on to be very successful. But I still get the biggest buzz when I come across new music by a band that I've previously been unaware of. Maybe it's a debut release or maybe I've somehow missed them (it's a big world out there).
It's a dozen tracks of energetic and infectious punk by a band that look pretty damn young and are very damn good. I'll highlight the opening song on the album, it's called Miserable Youth...
False Cobra (https://www.facebook.com/falsecobraperth) are Al, Nath, Mark & Dyl, a punk rocking quartet from Perth, Australia. They've been together for (I think) around 5 years and surprisingly this is the first time I've come across them.
They've previously released a couple of eps plus a split 7" with Last Quokka but now they're back with a debut Self Titled album. It's 9 tracks of unmistakably Australian punk n roll. There's been plenty of similar sounding bands in recent years and somehow they all manage to sound bloody great.
Originally from Melbourne and relocated at a young age to Greece, Frenzee (https://www.facebook.com/frenzee.band) are a trio of siblings; Apollonia Xylouris (vocals), Antonis Xylouris (guitar) and Nikos Xylouris (drums).
They've been together as a band since 2020 and October 18th will see them releasing a new album titled What's Wrong With Me. It'll be available via Poison City & Ouga Booga on slime green vinyl, cd and digital download and it's going to be one of the most high octane releases of the year. https://frenzee.bandcamp.com/album/whats-wrong-with-me
The band are already making people sit up and listen, this single from the upcoming album will only ramp up expectations even more. It's called Pink Tax...
Pink tax
I can’t afford my pink tax
I’ve wasted all my money
Cause I’m a little girly
Day one
It always starts on day one
My toy is pink
But your son
Has a cheaper blue one
Techno
Don’t bore me with your techno
When I say no
It means no
I do not like prosecco
Blind eye
You’d rather turn a blind eye
Don’t wanna how or why
Would rather get high and die
Classist
You are a shameless classist
Proudly and loudly racist
A homophobic fascist
Sexist
You are so fucking sexist
Dobbed on you to my dentist
She wrote you on her shitlist
Simple
My words are very simple
Don’t make my heart rate triple
Offended by a nipple
Cappo
The end of us is cappo
Calling eachother ‘unit’
Advertising stupid
They're from Nashville, Tennessee and they're gearing up to release a new album on Big Neck Records which will out on September 13th and will be titled Where's Your Head? The line up of the band on the album is Kiley Wells (PART TIME FILTH), Ryan Sweeney (SLEEVEENS/CHEAP TIME), and Jordan Wayne (AQUARIAN BLOOD).
Going off the preview single we're getting a dozen tracks combining garage rock with 60's soul. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing more. You can pre order the (aquamarine) vinyl here : https://bigneckrecords1.bandcamp.com/album/wheres-your-head
The flipside of the single will be a cover of Try Me, a 1958 hit for James Brown and the Famous Flames. The song you'll find below really deserves to be a hit too. It's a catchy punked up slice of power pop and it's called Crime Of Love...
