White Trash - You're Not The Only One

  When Never Be Quiet Records founder Shane Creech guest reviewed Kill All The Cool Kids by White Trash it attracted plenty of interest (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/12/white-trash-kill-cool-kids-reviewed-by.html) so I'm sure many of you will be happy to hear the band have just unleashed a killer new single.

  From Bristol and comprising ex members of The Computers, Sharks and Turbowolf they're slowly putting together an impressive catalogue of blisteringly furious punk n roll releases. You can get more info on them here  https://www.facebook.com/whitetrashband/

  An uptempo singalong that proudly wears it's influences on the sleeve of it's scuffed leather jacket whilst still sounding fresh as fuck, this is You're Not The Only One...

White Trash - Fuck U

 

  Well, yesterday's all female vocalist's Just Some Punk Songs show seemed to go down a storm with the chatroom masses (the show is saved here for posterity if you missed it : https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-010518/) but with the next show being on Sunday there's no time to spare and a new killer playlistlist is being lovingly put together. One of the songs that'll feature is this new one by Bristol band White Trash.

  They featured on here at the end of last year when Shane Creech reviewed one of their songs (Kill The Cool Kids). Now they're back with a new song but as there's still not much info about them on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/whitetrashband/) you had to wade through an opening paragraph of waffle to stretch out this intro.

  The song is taken from a split cassette that they've collaborated on with Exeter band Asbestos And The Bloody Gums (they featured on last week's show and are also very good and will probably feature on here at some point in the near future). It looks as though the cassette is almost sold out so if you want a copy you should quickly check out the Modern Junk Recordings Facebook page :  https://www.facebook.com/Modernjunkrecords/

  With a running length of barely one minute, there's no fat on the bones of this garage stomper. Play it loud and sing along, send out a message to those in power. The message being, Fuck U.....

  Over to you Shane....

It's Chrisssssstmas! Well, actually it isn't anymore but it may as well be because my ears are getting a very unexpected present. I'm listening to White Trash "Kill All The Cool Kids" over a can of Kronenbourg and I'm having a fucking great time. Made up of ex members of The Computers, White Trash are a relatively new band but their experience as band members and their talent for song writing shines through immediately. I'm a huge Damned fan (after listening I checked out the video and shock horror, so are they) and I love the sound that their guitars make, especially on the early recordings.

Simply sounding like The Damned wouldn't be enough to keep me interested but luckily White Trash have managed to craft a sound totally of their own. The video is makeshift, it's super low budget, but it's a nice little look into the characters in the band, their live shows and what it's like to be a part of White Trash. There is something refreshing about it, something sounds and looks dangerous here. It's dirty, it's fun and you definitely want to get involved.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing new and you can hear dashes and splashes of The Clash, The Libertines, Green Day and even scottish indie heroes The View but they manage to still sound like themselves. I immediately wanna play gigs with them, I wanna hear them on the radio whilst I'm driving to work. The vocalist drawls "I wanna know if you're sick and tired too, I wanna know if you feel the same, I wanna know will you be my best friend..." then he tells me that he wants to go kill the cool kids and wants to know where they hang out. I wish I knew!!
Absolute belter of a record. Get it in your ears!

This is Kill The Cool Kids....
