Scene Killers - They're Wrong

  


  Scene Killers (https://www.facebook.com/scenekillers) are the Nottingham based "supergroup" who's ranks include members from bands such as "Blatz, The Hip Priests, TV Crime, The Pathogens, and dozens of others." They released a debut ep at the end of 2020 titled Rev It Up and I featured a song from it on here : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/11/scene-killers-not-so-working-class.html

  Now they return fired up and punchy as ever with a debut album titled Beat Beat Beat. It's available now on coloured vinyl from Brassneck Records (UK) & Lavasocks Records (USA). 




  There's 9 tracks of fast paced punk rock which is nicely rough around the edges but has enough hooks to hang all the hats you could ever need on. Kicking off with single Gimme Gimme, it rattles along with barely a pause for breath. Garage meets hardcore and it sounds great. 

  This track was one of the highlights for me, it's about those in power taking the piss out of us whilst being cheered on by flag waving knuckleheads who should know better. It's called They're Wrong...

Scene Killers - Not So Working Class

  


  "Collecting members of Blatz, The Hip Priests, TV Crime, The Pathogens, and dozens of other bands, it's Nottingham's newest punk band"

  Sounds promising yeah? 

  Well going off the evidence presented by the 2 teaser tracks available on Bandcamp that promise will come to fruition when the Scene Killers (https://www.facebook.com/scenekillers/) release their debut ep. It'll be titled Rev it Up and it's due on December 4th via No Front Teeth Records 




  The band features a line up of Jesse Luscious (Vocals), Austin Rocket (Guitar), John G Warrior (Bass) and Luke J Moss (Drums). They made their live debut back in January, in Nottingham, sharing a bill with TV Crime and Vital but with 2020 going to shit it's been a frustrating year. They'll be ending it on a high note though with an attractive looking slab of toxic snot coloured vinyl. You can pre order it here :  https://scenekillers.bandcamp.com/

  If you're a fan of lean, mean punked up garage tuneage, you'll want to hop on board. 

  This is Not So Working Class...

Love the life of the underemployed Next of kin to the hoi polloi Asphalt rolls through the dazzling day Spoke flash bits of the sky Under the west coast sun you know it’s beer o clock again Not so working class We’re never first, we’re never last Underjoyed! Underemployed! Bottles wrapped in brown we sit back on the porch Crack a cold one open and slowly snugly drown Late afternoon light, all these empties at my feet I just wanna know how’d we sink so deep?
