Ming City Rockers - Paul

  

  A quick heads up today...

  Back in November I featured a song by Immingham trio Ming City Rockers (https://www.facebook.com/MingCityRockers), it was called Desperate and I commented "this has a fun '90's alt hit feel that should be blasting out of mainstream radio stations everywhere."  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/11/ming-city-rockers-desperate.html

  That song is just one of the mega catchy earworms that make up the band's new album Lime. It's the first great album of 2023 and you can find it streaming as a name your price download on Bandcamp  https://mingcityrockers.bandcamp.com/album/lime-2

  We've already been treated to a few of the album's tracks in single form (but the previously unheard ones are equally as impressive). As I listened to it I wasn't really intending adding anything on here as I'd already posted a track but I realised it was so good I'd have to do something so decided to go with Poor Old Jim. But then I got to Nancy, I'm Bitter and thought that was maybe even bitter. Then rinse and repeat, I had the same thought with a few of the other songs. It's impossible to choose a favourite. Just download the album and decide for yourself!

  Meanwhile, I better post something after all that rambling so here's Paul... 

Ming City Rockers - Desperate

    

  Ming City Rockers (https://www.facebook.com/MingCityRockers) are from Immingham (north east Lincolnshire coast of England) and have been together with various line ups for around a decade (originally called Low Culture), releasing a debut album in 2014.  

  The latest incarnation of the band sees them veering away slightly from the garage rock stylings that led to comparisons with MC5. They've a new album scheduled for January, it'll be titled Lime and I played the first single from it (Jill Was An Anarchist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxvbjI_o6qw) on a recent Just Some Punk Songs show.  

  On this week's show I played the 2nd single, both songs went down a storm with the folk in the chatroom but I think the latest was the most popular. You can get it as a name your price download here : https://mingcityrockers.bandcamp.com/track/desperate

  A bouncy singalong with a big drum backbeat and a killer chorus, this has a fun '90's alt hit feel that should be blasting out of mainstream radio stations everywhere. The video is great too. It's called Desperate...
