Mad Mulligans - Hatebreeders

  


  Did you all catch the debut album by New York City punks The Mad Mulligans? (https://www.facebook.com/Mad-Mulligans-100688594871998). 8 tracks of rowdy street punk/oi/hardcore that was a very promising introduction to a band of genre vets playing music in the vein of Sham 69, The Business, Cockney Rejects etc. 

  They returned earlier this year with 4 tracks on a compilation from Dammit Records titled Dammit, Blast And Other Expletives Volume 1 (https://dammitrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dammit-blast-and-other-expletives-volume-1). 

  Now they've reared their heads once again in what to me is a somewhat unexpected place. Outloud Records have featured on here several times over the last few years and are a label I associate with pop punk and Ramones influenced type bands. They've put out some great music and their latest project is timed to coincide with Halloween. It's a compilation album titled We're A Fiend Family! which features "a bunch of fine folks contributed covers of their favorite songs from MISFITS family of bands!" I've already played The Black Russians on the show and other artists include the likes of J Prozac, The Putz, The Moans, The Anxieties and many more. You can check it out here :  https://outloudrecords.bandcamp.com/album/were-a-fiend-family

  A very spirited rendition of a classic, this is Hatebreeders...

Whoa oh oh
No
Whoa oh oh
Hate breeders
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Hate breeders
Whoa oh oh
Brain invasion goin' on in everyone
You feel the things that make your world turn angry red
Because the next time you can't take it
Next thought murderlation
And hate is all you want to know
Chorus  
Murder one inborn into your every cell
It's in your blood and you can't shake it
Because you were bred to take it
Next stop annihilation
They bred the hate right in your bones
Chorus
Because you were bred to take it
Next stop annihilation
They bred the hate right in your fuckin' bones
Chorus
Hate is your mistress and you shall not want
You shall not want because your breed is strong
Because when they try to break you
New world desolation
And strength is all you gotta know
Chorus

Misfits - Spook City U.S.A.


  Yesterday's song was by a band I knew nothing about and who were just getting going, today's song is by a band who everyone's heard of whom have been around in one incarnation or another since 1977. Not much of an introduction is needed for The Misfits, formed in Lodi, New Jersey, named after the Marilyn Monroe movie,  various vocalists (including Glenn Danzig, Michale Graves and Jerry Only), splitting up and reforming, an impressive back catalogue (my favourite of their albums being Static Age).......

  Originally recorded in 1979 but not released until it appeared on 1996's Misfits Box Set ( a different version featured on the b side of the 1981 Who Killed Marilyn single) and featuring Bobby Steele on guitar, this is Spook City USA.....

Spook City USA, Spook City USA

See all the ghosts as you drive past graveyards (Spook City USA)
Deathly souls in American graveyards (Spook City USA)
Here is where I'll die for sure 
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

See-through spectres cruise your hallways (Spook City USA)
Poltergeists in the middle of the roadway (Spook City USA)

Here is where I'll die for sure 
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

Haunted house on the highway roadside (Spook City USA)
It extends an eerie invitation (Spook City USA)

Here is where I'll die for sure
I don't want no substitute
Spook City USA, Spook City USA

Spook City USA
