Thee Headcoatees - The KKK Took My Baby Away

  

  Thee Headcoatees are back with their first new music this century. It's already been given a sparkling review by Ged Babey over at Louder Than War (so normally I wouldn't bother posting anything on here but I'll make an exception today) so go read what he thinks about it as he's spot on  https://louderthanwar.com/thee-headcoatees-man-trap-album-review/

  Titled Man-Trap, it's a 14 track garage rock delight. It's available via Damaged Goods Records on vinyl, cd and digital download https://damagedgoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/man-trap

  There's also a couple of  new eps to check out

  Millions of bands have covered The Ramones, not many as successfully as this. The KKK Took My Baby Away... 

Quitters - You (Yeah)

  

  Quitters are a garage rock trio from Detroit, Michigan whose line up features Krystian Quint (Guitar/Vocals), Tristan Presley (Bass) & Brandon Fecteau (Drums). 

  They've just released a couple of demo tracks. You can find them here :   https://quittersquittersquitters.bandcamp.com/album/demo

  They're not reinventing the wheel but I thought the first of those demo tracks was really rather good in a scuffed up kinda way. Take advantage of the free download. It's called You (Yeah)... 

Thee Headcoats - And The Band Played Johnny B. Goode

  

  Garage rock legend Billy Childish is showing no signs of slowing down. Whenever I visit the Damaged Goods site (https://damagedgoods.co.uk/) there's usually a new release upcoming from one of the great man's many projects. 

  A couple of years ago I featured a song by Thee Headcoats (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/02/thee-headcoats-cops-and-robbers-alt.html) and they're back today with the opening track of a new album titled The Sherlock Holmes Rhythm ’n’ Beat Vernacular.

  There's been many words written about Billy Childish down the years so I think all I need to add is, go listen to the song. It's called And The Band Played Johnny B. Goode... 

Linda From Work - Wasting All My Time

  

  Today's song is more garage rock/alt rock than punk but it's well worth your attention. It's by a band from Seattle called Linda From Work (https://www.facebook.com/lindafromwork) who formed in 2018 and have a line up of Hillary Tusick (vocals/guitar), Sam Nowak (drums), Elliott Gregory (guitar) & Shayla Riday (bass). 

  They've been pitched as recommended if you like bands such as Veruca Salt, The Donnas & Yeah Yeah Yeahs and they've just released a new album titled The Night Is Short. There's a video for the lead single, Jealous, which is a fair representation of what the album offers up. You can check it out here :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNt9O1lOggc

  The album itself is available on cd and digital download :  https://lindafromwork.bandcamp.com/album/the-night-is-short

  10 tracks of melodic rock music with powerful vocals and driving guitars, if I had to pick a song to highlight (and that's exactly what I have to do on this blog), I'd go with this. It's called Wasting All My Time...

  The perils of growing up and watching all your mates drift away as they get involved in relationships, this is called How Come None Of You Ever Want To Hang Anymore?

Boys with girlfriends,
Girls with boyfriends,
Boys with boyfriends,
Girls with girlfriends,
How come none of you ever want to hang anymore?

I don't wanna interrupt your domestic bliss
But do you ever think about all the things you miss
By hanging out with just one person every night with no dispersal
I don't want to break you up but I just want to have some fun
