Fucking Angry - No Fun

  

  Fucking Angry (https://www.facebook.com/f.cking.angry) are a fucking angry punk band from Bonn and Berlin. They've been around for over a decade, they released an album in 2015 titled Dancing In The Streets (https://rilrec.bandcamp.com/album/f-cking-angry-lp-cd-dancing-in-the-streets) and they've just returned with a follow up titled ...Still Fucking Angry! It's a dozen energetic "songs about the dark moments in life, about our insatiable desire for higher, faster, further, about loss, about Nazi dirt on the streets and about how punk can finally become relevant again." 

  It's available on vinyl, cd and cassette : 

https://www.ghvc-shop.de/fucking-angry-still-fucking-angry_4400/                                                      and you can stream it on Bandcamp : https://rilrec.bandcamp.com/album/still-fucking-angry

  This song is called No Fun...

Silicone Values - GABBA Receptor

  

  One of my favourite UK bands over the last few years have been Bristol collective Silicone Values. They've released a string of extremely catchy singles, a number of which I've featured on here :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/search?q=silicone+values

  I've always thought they didn't get the attention they deserved. Pretty much everyone on the chatroom for the Just Some Punk Songs shows that I've played them on has loved them but in general they've always seemed to go under the radar. Hopefully that's about to change with the release of How to survive when people don't like you and you don't like them.

  It's a 15 track album collated by Paris label sdz records which brings together those singles into one very tidy package. It's available on vinyl and digital download and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's essential listening. 

  I've got to admit that I'm a little confused as by by my reckoning, the 2020 single The Last Work Of Piss Artists b​/​w Just As Simple as That (https://siliconevalues.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-work-of-piss-artists-b-w-just-as-simple-as-that) is missing but that's made up for with the inclusion of 3 songs I haven't heard before. 

  It's a truly great "greatest hits" comp so check it out. 

  This is one of those new tracks and it's as good if not better than anything the band have done thus far. It's called GABBA Receptor...

SOAPBOX - METER MADE

  

  It was only a month ago since I featured shouty Glasgow punks Soapbox (https://linktr.ee/soapboxglasgow) and their song Fascist Bob (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/03/soapbox-fascist-bob.html) but they make a welcome return today with a track from their new ep. 

  The ep's called Hawd That and it's available from Bold Cut Records  (https://www.facebook.com/boldcutrecords).

  There's 3 tracks. Ya Da's about a chance encounter with a wee runt outside Lidl, Stiff Upper Lip is about the lack of equality in society whilst Meter Made deals with the energy companies coining it in whilst many of us sit around freezing our tatties off. 

  It's another great release by a top new band who've plenty to say (usually about the injustices of every day life). 

  This is Meter Made... 

38 Coffin - Johnny Thunders

  

  38 Coffin (https://www.facebook.com/38COFFIN) are Lauren Goffin (vocals/guitar), Lindsay Scarey (bass), Andre McGuire (lead guitar) & Dain Hudson (drums). They're from Seattle and they're influenced by all your favourite surf rock, rockabilly & garage bands. 

  They've just released an album titled Leopard Spots which boasts 11 twangtastic batcave style garage punk tracks. Think The Cramps, The Munsters and haunted beaches and you won't be far off. It's available on coloured vinyl (ltd to 200 copies) and digital download :   https://38coffin.bandcamp.com/album/leopard-spots

  You'll be able to see them live next month if you're in Belgium or Germany...

  One of the highlights from a very enjoyable album is about New York guitarist/singer Johnny Thunders who you'll remember from the New York Dolls and later The Heartbreakers...

I Will Take You Hunting - No Gods

  

  Scotland band I Will Take You Hunting (https://www.facebook.com/iwilltakeyouhunting) impressed me a couple of years ago when they released their 2nd album Don't go to bed mad, stay up and fight all night, a song from which I highlighted here : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/05/i-will-take-you-hunting-stop-rot.html

  Now they're back with album number 3 and it's another powerful sonic assault. It's titled Not Broken and it's available on vinyl from Last Night From Glasgow :   https://shop.lastnightfromglasgow.com/products/i-will-take-you-hunting-not-broken-vinyl-lp

  It's described as "a fabulous blend of hardcore punk, electronic, indie rock, dance and hip hop. For fans of bands like Upchuck, Turnstile, IDLES and Viagra Boys" and I can't disagree with that. The line up of Dave Martin (guitars/drums/synths/shouting), Steve Simms (vocals/lyrics/ Melodies) and DJ Butterscotch (Scratching/Sampling) certainly know how to kick up a racket. 

  It's also available on cd and digital download :    https://iwilltakeyouhunting.bandcamp.com/album/not-broken

  It's a band that are certainly still very much recognizable from the one that released those 2 earlier albums but the addition of DJ Butterscotch has added a little more playfulness to their sound. Case in point, check out No Gods... 

Radium Dolls - I Think Your Boyfriend Likes Me Too

  

  Quite often on a Monday morning, choosing which song I feature is very easy. I just go with the one that was most popular on last night's show. I think it's fair to say that this week it was this one.

  Radium Dolls (https://www.facebook.com/radiumdolls) are a quartet from Brisbane who introduced themselves in 2020 with the Bel-Haven ep. You can find that and a couple more early singles here :  https://radiumdolls.bandcamp.com/ 

  They returned last month with a debut album titled Legal Speed which is available on limited edition vinyl (https://f17f0d.myshopify.com/products/legal-speed-12-vinyl). You can check it out (along with their more recent singles) here : https://open.spotify.com/album/0K4RK13YfUVFmbOOPpiK96

  It's an album that mixes Aussie punk with alt rock and it features some very fine (and catchy) tunes just like this one. A real mean tune, this is I Think Your Boyfriend Likes Me Too... 

Neon Kittens - Don't Get Me Started

  

  Maybe you remember New Years Eve 2023. It was the 10th anniversary of Just Some Punk Songs and it was the day I first featured a song by York band Neon Kittens (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088163643448). I commented; "they're a band that are unlikely to ever be part of the mainstream, they very much dance to their own beat." 

https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/12/neon-kittens-tv-as-eyes.html  

  Well that sentiment is front and center of the opening track of the band's new album. These are the lyrics : 

Don't even get me started on that you might never get me to stop don't get me started on that oh boy, you'd better not we are so underground that it's insane no one listens to us no one knows our name don't even say that to me you know that just pisses me off I'm looking through windows, opening doors and now I just need to stop we are so, underground that it's just mad gonna dig down deeper than we ever have

It pretty much sums up what it's like being outside the mainstream and it's a fine start to a very fine album. 

  The album's titled It's a NO Thing! It's 14 tracks of spoken word quirkiness and it's available from Metal Postcard Records...

https://metalpostcard.bandcamp.com/album/neon-kittens-its-a-no-thing

  Hopefully songs like this will lead to at least a few more people knowing their name, this is Don't Get Me Started... 

The Pill - Worms (Guest Review By Ralph J Rivera)

  

  The Pill (https://www.facebook.com/ThePillOfficial/) from Frankfurt, Germany first appeared as a mystery. Out of nowhere their video for "Government Whore" dropped on Youtube. I was completely floored! Who were this band with this incredible singer. Try "Googling" The Pill LOL! Luckily a second video appeared for the song "Salaryman", just as blistering but with more structure. Now I did what I do best and dug deeper to find out they had an upcoming record coming out on "Sounds Of Subterrania" Records. https://shop.soundsofsubterrania.com/produkt/the-pill-hollywood-smile/

  Well yesterday it finally dropped and this is everything I thought it would be and more. Guitarists Phillip & Tobias, bassist Jan, drummer Sascha and the best female Punk singer in ages, the goddess Sam, have saved the world with this 10 song masterpiece called "Hollywood Smile". This my friends is why we still listen to Punk Rock.  

  They have a serious early Black Flag sound but with a more modern take on it. Kinda like another favorite band of mine The Side Eyes. Blasting right off with the opening cut "Switch" you're in for some Old School California Hardcore played by some German scene veterans.

  The 2 singles are included plus 8 new ones that slither around your brain and will have you shouting "I AM A GOD"!!! I am completely in love with their singer Sam who is like some broken fairy here to lure you into her world. Remember Katie Jane from "Daisy Chainsaw"? Yeah she's THAT kinda kool!

Since yesterday I've listened to this album six times already and this is hands down my pick for "Punk Rock Album Of The Year". I'd advise you to listen too :  https://thepill.bandcamp.com/album/hollywood-smile-2

  It's hard to pick a favorite song but for today I'm picking the rager "Worms". Pogo/Slam Accordingly!

 

Thought Control - Sick & Tired Of The Talking Heads

  

  Thought Control are a hardcore punk band from New Jersey who sprang to life in 2020 as the solo project of John K. He wrote and performed debut ep Shock To The System on his own but by 2022's PSYCHOS, MURDER, & RAPE RULE THE WORLD 7inch ep he'd recruited a full band line up. 

  You can check out those releases here : https://thoughtcontrol.bandcamp.com/ 

  The band are now back with a new 8 song ep (mini album?) on UK label Crew Cuts. It's titled Sick & Tired Of The Talking Heads and it takes no prisoners. It's tagged as "music to make you feel good about being pissed off to" and it's a blast. It's available on vinyl (250 x transparent yellow, 250 x black, 10 x test press) and digital download (although I'm assuming the price of the download will come down?)

  The band will be over in the UK for a few live dates later this month : 

  This is the title track... 

Jesse - Gone Fishing

    

  Can I take it as given that you all love Leatherface? Do we all agree that their 1991 album Mush is one of the greatest of all time? Good, then you'll also love today's song. 

  Jesse were a trio originally featuring Frankie Stubbs, Peter "Spud" Shields and Colin Cumpson (who was later replaced by Leighton Evans). They were active in the mid to late '90s and released a few eps and a self titled album on Rugger Bugger discs. 

  They don't get the recognition that Leatherface still do but they were bloody good and their reputation will only be enhanced by the new reissue of their complete discography on double vinyl lp by Little Rocket Records and Rad Girlfriend Records. I've long thought Frankie Stubbs was one of this country's greatest ever vocalists and this collection goes a long way towards proving that claim. 

https://radgirlfriendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/complete-discography

https://jesselrr.bandcamp.com/album/jesse-complete-discography

  This song is a thing of beauty. It's called Gone Fishing...

LORD AND LADY MUCK AGAIN ESPECIALLY WANT ME TO BE LIKE OPEN SESAME A SEESAW OF A STINKING BORE THAT WILL CHANGE LIKE YOU CHANGE THAT DRESS HAVE I REALLY COME TO THIS? ARE YOU MISSING ME? WHILE YOU'RE KISSING THEM DO YOU SAY THE RIGHT NAME? WHEN THE DAY FINALLY ENDS DO YOU LIE AWAKE? WONDERING IF YOU'VE LOST A BEST FRIEND WHATEVER!

No Matter - Wart Hog

  

  No Matter (https://www.facebook.com/nomatterband) are from Northern Ireland and they were previously on here a couple of years ago when I featured a track from their Bad Chemistry album (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/07/no-matter-its-boring.html). 

  If you missed that album you can check it out here :                        https://nomatter1.bandcamp.com/album/bad-chemistry

  Today I'm posting one of the 2 songs they've contributed to a Ramones tribute compilation from Belfast's Time To Be Proud Records. The comp is titled Hey Ho Belfast Let's Go! and it also features a couple of tracks each from Goon Squad and Brian Young. You can find it here :  https://timetobeproudcompilations.bandcamp.com/album/hey-ho-belfast-lets-go-ramones-tribute

  Originally featuring on The Ramones 1984 album Too Tough To Die, this cover does the original proud. It's called Wart Hog... 

I shot some dope, I feel so sick
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Drugs and bitches and junkies and fags
Artificial phonies I hate it, hate it

Sick, sick, sick, it's the price I pay
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
They steal, they cheat, they take-take-take

I want to puke, I can't sit still
Just shoot some dope and I feel ill
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it

It's a joke, it's a lie, it's a ripoff bet
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band
Drugs and bitches and commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it

CB KIddo - Running To you

  

  Some of you may remember Moncton garage punk outfit Phone Jerks. They featured on here a couple of times https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/10/phone-jerks-three-jobs.html  / https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/02/phone-jerks-out-of-gate.html

  Amongst their line up were Tyler Boots (aka TJ Cabot   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2021/06/t-j-cabot-off-edge.html) and his wife Emily Williston. 

  Well, Emily is now back with a solo project called CB Kiddo. She released a Demo single a couple of weeks ago which I featured on last week's show (and which I was going to post on here but Josh over at Faster And Louder introduced us to first https://fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/2024/03/cb-kiddo.html).

  Anyway, patience is a virtue as Emily has just released a new single and if the demo was very good, this time around we're entering the realms of greatness.

  It's a couple of tracks of scuffed up catchy garage pop with one side being an original composition and the flip featuring a cover of The Forgotten Rebels' Tell Me You Love Me (it was on the band's 1982 album This Ain't Hollywood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqYXcWFh_g4). 

  I'll play the cover on next week's show but on here you're getting Running To You...
