Lambrini Girls - Cuntology 101

 

  I wasn't going to bother posting anything from the new Lambrini Girls (https://www.facebook.com/LambriniGirlsband) album as I'm sure it's going to be popping up everywhere (it certainly deserves to). But it's so good I couldn't at least not give it a mention. 

  It's called Who Let The Dogs Out and it elevates the Brighton outfit to a higher level. It's a no fucks given treat. It's available on vinyl, cd and digital download and if you've any interest at all in confrontational punk noise you need to put all your 40+ year old punk favourites to one side for a while and play this fucker loud https://lambrinigirlsband.bandcamp.com/album/who-let-the-dogs-out

  Punk rock in 2025 doesn't get much better than this. Amyl And The Sniffers are your "new favourite band"? Trust me, Lambrini Girls are better. 

  As they've just released a new video I'll pick this song to highlight. Punk as fuck and you can even dance to it if your old crumbling punk bones will allow it! It's called Cuntology 101...  

Clean Lines - Nuisance

  

  So what happens when you see a promotional blurb that says... "11 minutes of Buzzcocks meets The Nerves with a little splash of The Sweet!  Seattle's Clean Lines are a bit of 70's punk, power pop and rock and roll.  Clean'n'catchy power pop lines with sugar-sweet harmonies and sweetheart pop appeal."

  You get a little excited and decide to check things out. Especially when you hear that Steve E. Nix (The Briefs/Cute Lepers) is involved.

  Clean Lines are from Seattle, they formed in 2018. The members of the band have graced acts such as The Briefs, Circle Jerks, Geraldine Fibbers and Boss Martians and they've shared a stage with the likes of Mean Jeans, Tommy & The Commies, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes and The Kids. That line up is Tyler Brey (lead vocals), Josh Dale (guitar/vocals), Steve E. Nix (guitar/vocals), Ricky Gonzalez (bass) & Nick Schultz (drums). 

  Their new ep has just been released by Spaghetty Town, Wanda Records (Germany) and Ghost Highway Records. It's available on 7" vinyl and should be streaming today so keep an eye on those Bandcamp pages.

  This is the title track. It's called Nuisance...  

NYEDAWHO - Soon Is The Rise

  

  Some of you will remember Nan Hools. A regular listener to the Just Some Punk Songs show, the vocalist with The Hooligan Crooners (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/03/hooligan-crooners-it-goes-like-this.html) and a lovely guy. Sadly he lost his battle with cancer last year.

  He was working at the time with his friend Cat Moyse on a new musical venture, NYEDAWEHO. They recorded a few songs with Cat promising Nan she'd release them. Unfortunately she's having difficulties crediting authorship;  "I have to prove and justify 1000 views on youtube to administratively credit Nan as the author."

  Hopefully today's update helps get a few more views.

  It's the first track from them and showcases Nan's vocal talents. It's about "a light to come, perceptible after the chaos."  It's called Soon Is The Rise... 

The Ratchets - The Way Things Are

    

  A very well received Just Some Punk Songs show last night and this was definitely one of the most popular songs played. 

  The Ratchets (https://www.facebook.com/RatchetsOfficial) are punk scene veterans now. They hail from New Jersey and first featured on here back in 2018 with a track from their First Light album :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-ratchets-stray-emotions.html

   One of their albums is titled Glory Bound. It was originally released in 2006. As 2024 drew to a close a number of outtakes from that debut album's recording sessions were released by Pirates Press Records as an ep under the title Odds & Ends: Volume Two. It sounds great so check it out : 

https://theratchets.bandcamp.com/album/odds-ends-volume-two

  This song is a cover of a song originally released in 1994 by Schwartzeneggar on an album titled The Way Things Are....And Other Stories (check it out here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwyPPthUSgc&list=PLXr6roSqjbmNH4rje04tBWhX6-ueGDkzT). 

  It's called The Way Things Are : 

I'm standing on my pedestal
You're spitting on my grave
I'll crucify myself for your pleasure,
But don't ever call me slave,
'Cause I've made my bones, chosen my route,
When the pistols' triggered, it's time to shoot
Take every chance within my grasp
Keep kicking and fighting 'til my last gasp
And if this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be
If this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be.

No more crying, no more weepy tears
I've got no time for your indulgence, won't entertain your fears.
'Cause I've made my choice, found my voice
I know where I stand and I raise my hand,
A mountain moves and there's the proof
That the sky's the limit when you face the truth
That I'm a fucker with a mission who's at the top
The pimps that surround me won't let me stop,
They call me friend, it's a trend, it's my blood they spend
'Cause cash or crucifixion, they get you in the end.
And if this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be
If this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be.

If this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be
If this is the way things are, it's the way it's meant to be.
If this is the way things are, more fool me.

W.O.R.M. - False World Order

  

  I've mentioned a few times that one of my favourite ever albums is Vertically Unchallenged Baby by Chesterfield punk band W.O.R.M. (https://www.facebook.com/wormpunkband). 

  10 years ago (doesn't time fly!) I wrote about my love for it on Colin's Punk Rock World :   https://colinspunkrockworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/album-review-vertically-unchallenged.html

  If you've never had the pleasure of hearing it then you should take advantage of the name your price download of the remastered version : https://worm2.bandcamp.com/album/vertically-unchallenged-baby-remastered

  I mention all the above because the band have just released a new single, a rerecorded version of that album's opening track. It's a treat for the ears, check it out : https://worm2.bandcamp.com/track/false-world-order-single

  It's called False World Order...

Hey, there's a coffee cup
Sitting on my floor and it needs filling up
So I get out the chair, turn on the TV
And see what's going down in the real world today

I can't believe my eyes so I sit back down
And maybe I'm not insane, It's just everything
That's going on today, everyone is messed up
Suffering and confused, Where do we all go? What do we all do?

People are paralised, but they walk around
Praying to a false god, Worked into the ground
And when the day is done, it's time to relax
Drink some alcohol, Then do it all again, They do it all again

I don't think that the world's real at all
