Life On Mars - Burned Out On Life
A new year and already great new music is starting to be released. Today I'm posting 2 updates, 2 songs from 2 bands but both from the same album.
The album in question is a joint release called Pissing Contest, and features a couple of St Louis punk acts, this update will concentrate on Life On Mars.
You might recognise the name (not just because of the Bowie song or the tv series) as Life On Mars have already had one kick ass song featured on this blog (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/life-on-mars-all-sports-suck.html). This time around they've teamed up with Stinkbomb and the results are an excellent new split album on Braindead Records that not only features 9 short, hardcore blasts of fury from L.O.M. and 5 fun, rather less serious tracks from Stinkbomb but also sees them team up to round off the album in style with a cover of the Dicks' Hate The Police. If you're quick, the album has been made "name your price" for a couple of weeks, you'd be a fool to miss out : https://braindead-records.bandcamp.com/album/pissing-contest.
If you want a further helping of Life On Mars, their Facedown On The Pavement album, highly recommended if you enjoyed The Dead Kennedys shorter, in your face songs, is still name your price here : http://lifeonmarshc.bandcamp.com/releases.
From Pissing Contest, this is for everyone who's Burned Out On Life......

Life On Mars - All Sports Suck
"I Hate Watching Football Games, Baseball Is So Fuckin' Lame....."
Way back in the early 80's, Reno, Nevada hardcore punk pioneers 7 Seconds declared their hatred of sports. It's a hatred that will find sympathy with new hardcore punk heroes Life On Mars.
It's always a joy to post a blog update featuring a song that I've only just discovered, especially when it's a song as good as today's 43 second outpouring of spit and bile.
Life On Mars are a 4 piece hardcore punk band from St. Louis, Missouri, featuring Todd Parker (vocals), Kenny Joslen (guitar), Sam Evans (bass), and Brandon Vitale (drums). You may be familiar with Sam and Todd from Al Bundie's Army (http://albundiesarmy.bandcamp.com/).
Today's song is taken from Life On Mars' debut ep, Facedown On The Pavement. The ep features 8 blistering (but still catchy as hell), songs in just 8 minutes, it's available on Braindead Records and you can snap it up "name your price" here : https://braindead-records.bandcamp.com/album/facedown-on-the-pavement.
Reminding me a little of Fresh Fruit era Dead Kennedys, this is an anti sports anthem that's a worthy bedmate of that 7 Seconds classic.....
