Another fine example of that Spaceward studio sound! GREAT!

If you haven’t read “We Got The Neutron Bomb” yet you have too! All these crazy storys about Black Randy is priceless. One of his party tricks was to take a dump in the girls purses. When they went into the toilet there sometimes where some of them screaming as they where combing their hair(taken from the purse of course) and seconds later found out they’ve got pooped. The Metro Squad included K.K. from The Screamers and John Doe from X among others. Easilly an underrated artist among the Dangerhouse bands. Highlight: Loner With A Boner

From Akron, Ohio I’ll give you Waitresses. I’ve heard later stuff but not as good as “Clones”. What to expect from a band from Ohio if not some weird shit? Keep an ear open for Tin Huye too! They did some awesome tracks in the 70’s. Check out the Waitresses website: here.

Here’s an Australian band that I know nothing about. The label says it was recorded in Brisbane so I assume that’s where they came from. Found a “discography” from Inner City Sound. Very Sex Pistols influnced but manage to pull it off the right way.

Country: Australia
Year: 1977
Label: Real
Format: 7″
Songs:
Baby Come Back.mp3
Mister Record Man

I guess many of you recognize the song “Mucky pup” from the 1st LP by Exploited but I hope you agree that nothing beats the original! This is the first release on The Small Wonder label.

Country: UK
Year: 1977
Label: Small wonder

You can´t rock´n´roll

A punkclassic on RAW records with that charactaristic sound created in Spaceward studio. Well, I hope I´m right when I make a guess on that studio…the cover doesn´t tell and neither does the label but IT SOUNDS like a spaceward recording. What happened next to this great band?

In honour of Niki Sudden who died this Saturday we have “Read About Seymour” up for grabs. Listen to the needle hitting the vinyl in the beginning. I’m sure he would’ve loved that. Read the whole news here: Niki Sudden Dies. As a bonus I’ve also included a link to a totaly great out of tune live version of “Read…”.
