Psycho Sexual Sex Terrestrials (or PSST for short) were a punk/indie band from Rhyl, North Wales who were active between 1990 and 1993.
Recently they returned, suited and rebooted with original members Paul Hammond (vocals) and Dean Roberts (guitar/vocals) being joined by the next generation of the band, Paul's daughter Jesse who does her first stint as a singer and pulls it off beautifully.
They've just released an album titled Greatest Failures in which some of their old songs have been given a make over and sound much improved. The album's on Weekend Offender Records and is available on 12" Lathe Cut Record (Red,White and Black) and as a digital download : https://weekendoffenderrecords.bandcamp.com/album/greatest-failures
This song featured on last night's Just Some Punk Songs show as one of the listeners' favourite songs from the first half of the year. It's called Unwanted Male...
For today's update I'm highlighting a song from an excellent debut album by Triple Lutz (https://www.facebook.com/triplelutzpdx). I think I'll just quote what it says about them on Bandcamp as it's a very on point summation...
TRIPLE LUTZ is punk rock/Tonya Hardingcore from Portland, Oregon's. Half queer, half feminine and half naughtyđź’€! they're full of raw energy and a roaring rage “This month they will release their first full-length album entitle Hands of an Angry Mob” Peace and Love, No Violence, No Homophobic, No Sexism, Destroy Racism and Long Live the Anarquista.
I've already played a couple of songs on the show. Songs that had me eagerly awaiting the album's release. Now it's here and it certainly doesn't disappoint. The line up of the band is Asher (Lead Voxx), Kay Morrisette (Guitars, Voxx), Sean Farrell (Bass, Voxx) & Lily Bry (Drums, Voxx). They've released a debut that'll not only appeal to the hardcore kids but on the evidence of tracks such as Dead Grass should reach a wider audience (in a similar kinda way as Mannequin Pussy).
Another fantastic new band from the Rock & Roll factory that is Australia. "PEACHY" is an all-female powerhouse from Brisbane that specialize in tits out, in your face Punk Rock. https://peachyband.bandcamp.com/album/body-horror.
To all the women out there - You HAVE to listen to the song "13" and follow along with the lyrics. It nearly brought me to tears. I swear men will never understand the bullshit that we put females through from the time they hit fucking puberty!
"Wait4Me" is a slower, Post-Punk style love song that really hits you in "the feels". Melita, Georgina, Madi & Eliza - These ladies really have it going on musically & lyrically. Total package. At 5 songs this is a nice introduction to a very talented up & coming band from a country that seems to breed them. Highly Recommended Listening.
Here's one of the most personal songs I've ever heard a female Punk band throw down - the amazing "13"
VERSE 1
I was thirteen, I was thirteen, when he touched me he was thirteen,
Older boys said to try.
Felt so unclean, kind of scary, but I felt seen and I thought,
That’s just how it went with the guys.
I was fifteen, I was fifteen, and I’m running, they’re all yelling,
From the window (of) their car,
In their twenties, always scared me it’s so obscene that I thought,
That’s just how the young guys are.
VERSE 2
I was eighteen, I was eighteen, you were smoking, you were waiting,
At the back of the bar,
Under my skirt, tried to grab me, you’re a stranger,
And it hit your hands before they got to far.
In my twenties, in my twenties, I was walking, you were stalking as I tried to go home.
You were waiting at my window, told my housemates, and they said,
That’s just how it always goes.
CHORUS x2
I don’t wanna be confused, with an object you can use,
I don’t wanna excuse any time you,
Amuse yourself at my expense.
VERSE 3
Now I’m thirty, now I’m thirty, try to,
Hurt me, you’d be joking, I just dare you to try.
We’re no longer, only thirteen and we’ll fight back.
You’re not safe behind those lies, now I’m,
Older, I’m stronger, I realise how wrong were, the
Things you did to me, to satisfy your needs, I’m
Sick of excuses, the big and small abuses that were made.
CHORUS x 2
BRIDGE x2
So fuck you, for the trauma,
You make my skin crawl, and we don’t want you.
OUTRO
She said,
Every woman has a story, and I hate that it’s the truth.
I’m so sick and tired of worrying, there’s just no more,
Excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse,
Excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse.
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
What’s your excuse?
There’s no excuse?
Often punk songs can be serious and can express frustrations or anger about the world we live in. Sometimes they can be more personal and deal with the writer's state of mind. This song is just fun.
They recently released an album titled Pest From The West. I played a song from it on a recent show (the fast paced and highly addictive Bike Beach Pub). It's one highlight on a very fine album.
Another highlight is this song about what might happen when nature calls whilst you're on a road trip. It's called North West Coastal Highway...
Stop for a piss on the side of the road Had a couple beers time to lighten the load Out in the desert not a tree in sight But I don't give a fuck I don't really mind The gascoyne sun's burning bloody hot Nobody around I pop a little squat Got the ute as a shield I start to break the seal Yeah everything's going my way! BUT I FORGOT KEN'S THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE HE GOES OI WATCH THIS ERICA PUTS THE UTE INTO DRIVE So I'm squattin and I'm pissin And I'm watchin and I'm wishin That the ute didn't just drive away But I'm laughing cos it's funny It's just me and my bare bum here out Whizzin on the shoulder of the highway Then a horn blasts as a car drives past Gaping and gawking at my bare arse Oh fuckin fuck Faaaaaaaaaark
I mooned an old lady On the north west coastal highway Pissed all over my own pants Tryin to run away I mooned an old lady On the north west coastal highway Pissed all over myself Fuck yeah
I mooned an old lady On the north west coastal highway Pissed all over my own pants Tryin to run away I mooned an old lady On the north west coastal highway Pissed all over myself Fuck yeah
Blind Eye (https://www.facebook.com/p/Blind-Eye-Band-100064955622264/) are a hardcore punk band from Nottingham who've been around since 2019 and who feature members of acts such as Heresy, Bloody Head, Pitchshifter, Wolves Of Greece, Army Of Flying Robots etc. They line up thus; Steve Charlesworth – Drums, Matt Grundy – Bass, Andrew Morgan – Guitar & Anmarie Spaziano – Vocals and are influenced by the likes of The Comes, Jerrys Kids, Aus-Rotten and Chaos UK.
They've recently released a second album (their debut being 2022's Decomposed) which is titled Mistrust Your Nation and after listening to it I can't help thinking why aren't these guys getting more attention? It's a raging beast of a release that has the lot... Pounding riffs, great lyrics and a powder keg of a vocalist in Anmarie Spaziano.
There's a video for the song Blitz Can which you should watch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1VxblZdgo4) but the track I'm highlighting today is called Darts Cards Bingo...
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.
I wrote at the time "The album contains 11 catchy, anthemic singalongs. Gritty vocals stand out nice and clear over instruments that are played with gusto by a band that have clearly honed their skills supporting the likes of Cockney Rejects, SLF, The Exploited etc..." and going of the evidence of their new single, it's a skill that hasn't deserted them.
Whilst checking the Just Some Punk Songs database I noticed I'd played Madrid band Plastic Meat on the show back in October 2025 (I must have featured something from their debut self titled ep though it slips my mind what).
Nicking info from the Bandcamp page; they formed in 2024, their songs are short and direct and the influences mentioned include Ron Asheton (Stooges), The Chats, Split System, X-Ray Spex & Amyl and the Sniffers.
This is the opening track, it's called Burn With Me...
A band today that I've just stumbled across and that I've pretty much no information about. God's Hand are from Iowa City and have just released what I'm assuming is their 2nd single.
They're a band very much influenced by the late 70's UK punk scene. Their sound will remind you of some of your favourite bands.
They've just released a debut album titled Hunting Season and unsurprisingly it's a winner. They promise a "catchy, melodic and dynamic punkrock record that jumps out of the speakers and grabs hold of you" and they aren't lying! You can check it out here : https://pjolterguys.bandcamp.com/album/hunting-season
It's pretty much impossible to single out a highlight as the whole damn thing is one big highlight so let's just go with the opening track. This is New World...
I’ve seen your every you, in every fucking way
I’ve seen the things you do, and it was not for me
You burn everything in sight, in search of a new world
I see your hatred, your writing on the walls
That every sperm is sacred until every building falls
You’ll end up in a corner with your back up against the wall
I’ve seen your every you, in every fucking way
I’ve seen the things you do, and it was not for me
You burn everything in sight, in search of a new world
Generations searching for a place to call their home
Searching for a purpose and a fight to call their own
But in the end we're all the same
There's no one else to blame
But you keep feeding the fire
Anything will burn when it’s soaked in gasoline
Firebreathers and liars
With one hand on the bible and your back against the wall
Stupid is what stupid does
So get down off your cross
I’ve seen your every you, in every fucking way
I’ve seen the things you do, and it was not for me
You burn everything in sight, in search of a new world
Your kind has been around as long as we’ve been here
You’re angry and you’re disappointed, no one seem to care
The causes you are fighting for are never what they seem
So pull your head out of your ass and wake up from your dream
But you keep feeding the fire
Anything will burn when it’s soaked in gasoline
Firebreathers and liars
With one hand on the bible and your back against the wall
You’ll never take another step, as you might trip and fall
Stupid is what stupid does
So get down off your cross
I'm still being a bit lazy at the moment, there's been a distinct lack of updates on here but my good friend Ralph J Rivera drew my attention to today's earworm and it got my juices flowing.
It's by a German band called Collaps. They're an oi trio from North Rhine-Westphalia and they've just released a very impressive album titled Getting Used To The Dirt. It's available via Primator Crew / Oi The Boat and you can check it out here (it's available name your price) : https://collapspunk.bandcamp.com/album/getting-used-to-the-dirt
Ralph was throwing around comparisons with the likes of Abrasive Wheels, The Partisans, Peter & The Test Tube Babies and Infa-Riot and he proclaimed this song to be the anthem track (and who am I to disagree!).
Today we bid a fond farewell to Private Function (https://www.facebook.com/privatefunctionmelbourne). Regulars to both the blog and the show, the Melbourne band have called it a day after 10 glorious years. They're going out whilst they're still on top.
I believe it's the only song they've released on 45rpm.
I think it's fair to say they've gone out with a bang.
Whilst not a new song, today's earworm has just been reissued and it's rattling round in my mind so I thought I'd post it on here.
Sick Thoughts, aka Drew Owen (https://www.facebook.com/drew.owen.142) are certainly no strangers to Just Some Punk Songs having featured several times since 2014. On that occasion I posted a song titled Frustrated and said "If, instead of writing a blog, I was a radio dj, and I had a record of the week slot whereby I selected the best of the weeks new releases, Frustrated by Sick Thoughts would now be booming out on the nation's airwaves."
Shortly after that I sort of did become a dj and have played numerous Sick Thoughts songs including a couple from his 2023 ep Born To Blitzkrieg. But it seems I didn't feature anything from that release on here. As Slovenly Recordings have reissued both that and last years Another Piece Of Plastic it's a good excuse to rectify things.
You can find the reissues here on vinyl and digital download :
April 17th 2026. Both a great day and a sad one. Liverpool trio Down And Outs (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063529751445) have just released their 6th album. Sadly, after 23 years of treating us to some of the best punk tunes you'll hear, it's also their final album.
Featuring a line up of Chris Howard (bass/vocals), Morgan Brown (drums/vocals) & Mark Magill (vocals/guitar) the album is titled Disconnect and it's available on vinyl (Brassneck Records & Dead Broke Records), cd (Waterslide Records) and as a name your price digital download.
You'll already know what to expect by now (if not, go wild and take advantage of all the name your price downloads on their Bandcamp page)... a bunch of finely crafted melodic punk gems. It'll not be the same without these guys (although Mark has mentioned "There's some unreleased songs, demos and bits and bobs in the vault that I'll upload at some point. I'm sure you can manage without it, but why not, eh?" so maybe there's a little more to come one day).
This seems an apt song to feature, it's called Last Orders...
A nice booming singalong chorus today in a song that deals with one of the hot topics of our times.
Cowboy Hunters (https://www.facebook.com/CowboyHunters) are a noisy duo from Scotland who've been pretty prolific over the last 3 years. A mix of old school confrontational attitude and modern day soundscapes they should appeal to pretty much everyone (I say should but unfortunately most people wouldn't know good music if it bit them on the arse!).
Song title of the week goes to this one, it's called Shag Slags Not Flags...
Long day at work she comes home to a mess Said he'd clean up but he's over at friends Is she getting some tonight She's not holding her breath Gets her laptop Then it's open to vent (I'll have what she's having) 43 with a flag in her bio Says she hates blanks But that is a typo The sexual frustration You could catch with your eyes closed Lonely at night So turned to a wino I know a few guys 6 out of 10's Could sort your life out Make a chick of a hen Get your dickstraction You'd be listening then But for now she's finding foreigners And wishing them death She goes
Oh no you crossed a line one a map You better get online Cause it's time to attack Maybe get outside Try and lie on the grass Mate you should Everyone
Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags
Let me guess Your wife left didn't she Took the house, kids, money, And your dignity How you cope has got your Twitter feed in disbelief Any prick can see You're on the wrong side of history
Oh no you crossed a line one a map You better get online Cause it's time to attack Maybe get outside Try and lie on the grass Mate you should Everyone
Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags Shag slags not flags
There's a new 5 song ep out in which Andy's aided and abetted by Luke Hesketh Drums (Sonic Boom Six), James Routh Difficult bass bits (Sonic Boom Six) & UK Nige Vocals and additional guitars (Sick 56, One Way System, The Diggers). It's titled The Spectators Are Leaving and it's available on cd and as a name your price download https://jsntgmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-spectators-are-leaving
There's a video for opening track When The Story Ends (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3AOkKNtPqs) but the song I'm highlighting is the title track, The Spectators Are Leaving...
Sweat (https://www.instagram.com/sweat_rockers/) have been around since 2019, having fun, making noise and gaining a lot of fans. They play hardcore punk chock full of hard hitting riffs AND catchy melodies.
They've just released a new album titled Tear It On Down. Featuring a line up of Tuna Tardugno (vocals), Anthony Rivera (drums), Justin Smith (guitar/vocals) & Kevin Conway (bass), it's an energetic blast that'll appeal to fans of bands such as Amyl And The Sniffers, Slaughterhouse & Scowl. Check it out here : https://sweatrockers666.bandcamp.com/album/tear-it-on-down
This is just one of many highlights, it's called Smaller Cages, Shorter Chains...
Opposition a long standing tradition
Pitting me against you
And us against them
But we won’t take the bait
Can’t give them the satisfaction
Because all we get is smaller cages and shorter chains
They didn’t pull the trigger
They just made the mold
Don’t want any trouble
Just do as they’re told
Ammunition another tradition
Turn their backs applaud misuse
Applaud abuse
Can’t let them have comfort cause all we get
Is smaller cages and shorter chains
They didn’t pull the trigger
They just made the mold
Record profits
Before the guns gone cold
Don’t want any trouble
Just want the gold
Your days are numbered
Your days are numbered
While
The cages getting smaller
The chains are getting shorter
The rage is growing stronger
The kids are getting smarter
Your days are numbered
Where’s the melody in murder
Where’s the melody in murder
The cages getting smaller
The chains are getting shorter
The kids are getting smarter
Your days are numbered
You’re outnumbered
And getting number
But we’re not
"You’re the greatest you’re the latest you’re that superstar..."
Do you remember back in the day when we had punk pioneers such as The Pistols, The Clash, The Damned etc. 3 chords, attitude and some spiky melody? Do you remember we also had the likes of Wreckless Eric, Ian Dury, TV Personalities etc. DIY acts that weren't quite punk but comfortably fit under that umbrella. Today's song reminds me of them.
The Dear Boys are from Bexhill On Sea in East Sussex. They're a trio made up of Tony Page, Tony Fletcher & Brett Buddy Ascott and last month they released their first single of 2026 (their 5th physical release). It's part of the build up to an album which is planned for later this year.
Dedicated to the next generation, it's a song that seeks to promote self worth. Get out there kids, the world is yours. Take it. You're great!
Last November saw them release an album titles No Plan. It was definitely a case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Songs about girls and various Sci-Fi shenanigans, it was crammed with hooks and harmonies. You can check it out here : https://thehallingtons.bandcamp.com/album/no-plan
They've just posted a video for one of the songs, it's about an encounter with a legendary winged humanoid creature with glowing red eyes. As I recently read a novel by Hunter Shea titled Shadow Of The Mothman it kind of struck a chord. This is I Met The Mothman...
