Sore Points - On The Wire

   It was a very busy day yesterday for Slovenly Recordings as they put out several new releases. One of the best, the new album by Control Freaks, saw the title track feature on here a few weeks ago and has just received a great review from Josh on his Faster And Louder blog (http://fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-control-freaks-shes-bomb.html) so today I'm posting a song from an excellent band from Vancouver called Sore Points.

  I was impressed with their debut, Self Titled, album which came out last year on Deranged Records (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/09/sore-points-gone-away.html) and I'm not in the least bit surprised that the new ep is equally as good. It's titled Not Alright, boasts 4 furious blasts of primitive punk rock in it's 6 minute run time and left me with a difficult task of selecting a favourite to post on this update. You'll enjoy the song I've chosen but to be honest, just go to Bandcamp and listen to the full ep. Vinyl collectors can order the physical release whilst they're there :

  Sit back, play loud and enjoy, this is On The Wire...

Sore Points - Gone Away

  We've been spoilt for new releases this week. The last few days on here have brought some of my favourite new songs of the year and today certainly doesn't disappoint.

  Sore Points are a 3 piece from Vancouver who list amongst their influences the likes of Buzzcocks, Cock Sparrer, Damned, Blitz, Motorhead, Ramones and The Stranglers. Featuring Nervous Talk's Shane Grass (vocals/bass), Mitch Allen (guitar/vocals) and Trevor Racz (drums/vocals) their sound echos the early days of the London punk scene when the lines between punk and hardcore weren't as far apart as they are nowadays. Despite being fast and furious, their songs are still underpinned by catchy tunes. Aggression with pop sensibilities, street chants that'll get you tapping your feet and singing along. You can get more info  here :   https://www.facebook.com/Sorepointsband/

  Their 8 track 2016 demo and the Don't Wan't To ep from last year are both available here : https://sorepoints.bandcamp.com/

  Their Self Titled debut album is out now on Deranged Records and it's bloody brilliant. 12 tracks, everyone a winner and certainly something you should check out. Love punk's golden era? Prefer modern day punk? It doesn't matter, you'll all love this...  vinyl :    http://www.derangedrecords.com/index.php/home/                 digital :     https://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sore-points

  I'll be playing a different song on the Just Some Punk Songs show later today   (  https://www.facebook.com/events/1339819089488400/ ) but as they've just released a video for another one of the songs I'll post that on here. This is Gone Away....
