The Circulators - Pointless Game

     

  San Francisco's The Circulators (https://www.instagram.com/thecirculators/) return to Just Some Punk Songs today with one of the songs on their new ep. 

  They've been on here a couple of times previously with tracks from their Self Titled debut ep and their Insufficient Fun album.

 I highly recommend you check out their previous releases as it looks as though the band is no more. The new ep appears to be a farewell from them. 3 tracks (2 originals and a cover of Teengenerate's My GTO) it's titled Pointless Game and is available via Total Punk Records.

THE CIRCULATORS - Wired Over You

  

  So I've spent the last couple of hours honing the playlist for this week's Just Some Punk Songs show and it occurred to me that I really need to get one of the songs from the new album by The Circulators on the blog. 

  The album's titled Insufficient Fun and it was released last week by Total Punk Records :   https://totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/insufficient-fun-2

  The band are from San Francisco and I featured them back in January of last year :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-circulators-it-wont-be-me.html

  That song resurfaces on the new album and it's so good I think I'll play it on this week's show but it's not the only highlight from what is rapidly turning into one of my favourite 2024 releases. Pretty much every one of the 14 tracks is a rock n roll gem. I can't recommend it highly enough. 

  I'm going to post this catchy as fuck song about falling head over heels, it's called Wired Over You.

The Circulators - It Won't Be Me

    

  The Circulators are a new band from San Francisco with a line up of Vinnie (vocals/guitar), Jimmy (bass/vocals), Nicky (drums/vocals) & Blake (guitar). I'm never quite sure if a release featuring 8 tracks is a generously packaged ep or an album but whatever their debut release is, it's a bloody great introduction. 

  The band play a mix of old school punk rock n roll and catchy as hell power pop. I've no idea if they've been round the block as members of other bands but they've turned up in this incarnation as pretty much the finished article. The album (I'm going with album) is Self Titled and it's available as a cassette or digital download. You can get it here : https://thecirculators.bandcamp.com/album/s-t

  I'm hearing bits of The Dead Boys, The Damned, The Exploding Hearts and numerous other genre greats. This is definitely a band you'll want to check out. 

  This track is titled It Won't Be Me...
