Revenge of the Psychotronic Man - Get Pissed, Talk Shit, Dance Like An Idiot

 

  Yeah, I know pretty much all the songs I post on here nowadays are new or recent releases (which to me is the sign of a healthy punk scene) and I know the song you're getting today came out a good few years ago but it's a great song and so I'll use the excuse of it being re released as part of a greatest "hits" package as good enough reason to feature it today.

  Most of you will probably know that Manchester hardcore punk heroes Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man are calling it a day at the end of the year. They formed in 2004 and over the last 14 years have given no less than 100%. But life moves on and rather than slow down they'd rather go out whilst still at the top of their game. Andy Davies (bass/vocals), Matt Woods (guitar/vocals) and Chris Hinsley (drums) will be bowing out (no doubt noisily) with a final gig, an all dayer in Manchester, in December alongside a host of other bands. You can get more details here :  https://www.facebook.com/RevengeofthePsychotronicMan/

  To bid them farewell, and to highlight just how bloody good they are, TNS Records have released That Was Just A Noise (2004-2018). It features 26 tracks, mainly cherry picked from their back catalogue but there's also a few new ones. It's fast, it's loud, it's wonderful and it's here :  https://revengeofthepsychotronicman.bandcamp.com/album/that-was-just-a-noise-2004-2018

  As well as digitally, it's also available on vinyl, cd and cassette :  https://www.tnsrecords.co.uk/just-noise-final-release-rotpm/

  The song I'm posting today is one of their early ones. It was released in 2008 on the TNS compilation Vol 1 People Who Drink Cider In The Gutter (https://www.tnsrecords.co.uk/label-2/discography/tnsrecords-vol-1-music-by-people-who-drink-cider-in-the-gutter/).  It then resurfaced on the 10 Years Of Revenge 7" in 2014 (https://revengeofthepsychotronicman.bandcamp.com/album/10-years-of-revenge-7). Now it's back as the lead track on their swansong.

Goodbye guys, you'll be missed.

Get Pissed, Talk, Shit, Dance Like An Idiot.....

Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man - I Wanna Be A Spaceman

"From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'

Edgar Mitchell 


  Hailing from Manchester, Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man are a "very fast" hardcore punk band who are influenced by the likes of Zeke, Kid Dynamite, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, The Steal. As well as being fast, loud and heavy they also liberally sprinkle Alan Partridge-esque humour into the mix.

  They've been around since 2004, their music, including new album Colossal Velocity (out now on 5FeetUnder Records), can be checked out here : http://revengeofthepsychotronicman.bandcamp.com/.

  They're touring the UK pretty much non stop for the rest of the year so try and check them out (I've got the Lancaster gig on 26th Nov pencilled in).

  This is the video for one of the albums slower tracks (and by slower I mean still pretty damn fast by most peoples standards), I Wanna Be A Spaceman......

I wanna be a spaceman, riding a rocketship 
I wanna be a spaceman, NASA can pay for it 
I wanna be a spaceman, cruising the galaxy 
I wanna be a spaceman, make it happen for me 
  
Richard Branson wants to have a go, but I'm well better as you will know 
Send me into outer space, to put a big smile on my face 
  
I wanna be a spaceman, discovering aliens 
I wanna be a spaceman, I think we would be friends 
I wanna be a spaceman, representing mankind 
I wanna be a spaceman, wonder what I would find 
  
Don't try to destroy my dreams, unqualified though I may seem 
Hurtling throughout the stars, starting a colony on Mars
