Artless - Beer / Crassdriver 7" (1990)

1: Beer Is Better... Than Girls Are
2: Crassdriver

One last upload before bed time, kiddies... This time its from MaximumRock&Roll columnist Mykal Board, who sings in this band. The first track is dumb punk rock, but its kinda funny too, explaining why beer is better than girls, "No matter how cunning her stunts, with a girl theres that time of the month"... The b-side is called Crassdriver, and takes the piss out of far-right and far-left punk bands (Skrewdriver & Crass namely), its kinda dumb, but kinda fun too "A hammer & sickle is just a swastika in drag"... A nice little blast from the past, worth checking out tod lad...

DeadBeat At Dawn - Just Before Dawn CD (2008)

1: Just Before Dawn
2: Rize Up
3: Wrong Turn (Feat Charlie W)
4: DeadBeat Wrecking Krew

From the ashes of Mafia Vs Ninja & BossEye, the Thirsk retards are at it again. More ska punk rap-core retardedness from the sexiest looking boys in town, and this time they only went to a proper studio and managed to sound like a real band... Four tracks of twisted punk rock, with hints of ska, rap, reggae, rock and Diztruxshun MC-ing from these old timers, still struggling to hold on to the glory days of their youth. With a fixation on low budget horror & apocalyptic films, hip hop & graffiti, and making idiots out of themselves, DeadBeat At Dawn are pretty much the perfect cup of tea for anyone, even yer nana.

Oh yes. What a corker! Remember taking a gamble on this and buying the LP from Record Mania in York circa 1990? These boys were probably the first hardcore punk band in history. Heard of Black Flag but not heard them so really wanted to check em out. A good intro to BF coz it's got all the early best stuff on it before Rollins came sniffing round with his fat neck and 2-bit tattoos. Keith Morris was, and always be, the best Black Flag vocalist but Ron Reyes comes a close second. Some classics on this such as "Jealous Again", "Wasted", "Police Story" and "Gimme Gimme Gimme" most with different versions by different vocalists - kinda like a Black Flag kareoke..Awesome artwork too. Why did I sell this? Am I stupid.......yes.

The Wailers - Burnin' LP (1973)

1: Get Up Stand Up
2: Hallelujah Time
3: I Shot The Sheriff
4: Burnin' & Lootin'
5: Put It On
6: Small Axe
7: Pass It On
8: Duppy Conqueror
9: One Foundation
10: Rastaman Chant

Bob Marley was a king amongst kings. One of the greatest ever song writers, and a true soul rebel. This, in my humble oppinion, is his greatest album. From the awesome cover onwards, its just flawless. All time classics 'I Shot The Sherif' and Dart Squad favourite 'Get Up Stand Up' are the most recognizable, but alongside them are the awesome politically charged 'Burnin & Lootin' and 'Small Axe', and love and spiritual journeys in 'One Foundation' & 'Hallelujah Time', plus the smoked up rasta blastas 'Rastaman Chant' & 'Duppy Conqueror'. Any fans of reggae, or rebel music, should already own this, but for those who don't already, here's yer chance... An absolute classic, one of the greatest albums ever...

Who doesnt love Snuff? Probably Hitler, and Simon Cowel, and thats it... Another pretty rare single here, all songs I think have appeared on other releases, but dfferent recordings of them... Cubical is, I think, a cover of 808 State? Another little beauty you probably would of never known existed....

What can be said about this record, that cant be figured out from the cover? A suprising release for MaximumRock&Roll Records (mainly in that its good...), this is a pure-sleazy un-pc deprived perverted and down right stupid album, and its fucking awesome fun. Features the original 'Fuck N Drink' which yorkshire punk rockers Homebrew made famous with their version of it. Other songs cover hot topics such as cheese, loving asses, retards, peados, and more dumb stuiff. C'mon, you know the teenager in you will love this. And so will the teenager you're in...

This is hardcore band The Bronx, but leaving their punk influences behind and are instead doing Mexican Mariachi music. It took a couple of listens, but this has now cemented itself as one of the most played on my stereo. Its time to grow a nice big tash, watch some Lucha Libre, and drink tequila... If you fancy something different, give this a shot... Standout tracks are Cell Mates, Clown Powder & the awesome My Love, but each track will put a smile on your little mexican face...

Check out the cover fer this little beauty. Another old-school fave that Shrimp used to be mad on and a real hidden gem. Highly underrated and relatively unkown - maybe that was due to the record cover, I don't know, but it's a reet canny discovery from back in the day. Always thought they were from the UK but they might be Americans...any ideas? TV Bible's a beauty, as is Shrimp's fave 'Empty Bottle Blues' - best track on this ep I reckon. Defo worth checkin out.

I think you can tell just from the band name and the song titles what this record is going to bring. Nasty Punk Rock & Roll, with songs about drinking, fighting and fucking, and damn, it ends with a cover of AC/DCs 'Let There Be Rock'... And just look at the cover - a flamming bloody swastika made from womens legs. You want it, don't you?

8: Evan Johns & His H-Bombs - Madhouse
9: The Groovaholics - Pull The Trigger, Sunshine!
10: DOA - Concrete Beach
11: Jello Biafra & Keith Le Blanc - A Message From Our Sponsor

One of the greatest soundtracks ever, pity the film didnt really live up to much. Infact I dont think the film ever made a proper release? Mainly compiled from Canadian, and a few American bands, this (at least in my oppinion) doesnt have any weak tracks on it... DOA & Nomeansno provide some classic solid punk rock songs, and you'll no doubt know how much these bands rock already, but thrown in the mix we have a whole load of other tings... The Beatnigs have an industrial/hip hop vibe going on with their sound, and this song was later done by Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprasy 9 (sic?). I, Braineater are kinda new wave mixed with The Cramps, and has a great 80s feel to it. Gerry Hannah plays a beautiful acoustic number, he wrote this in prison after he tried blowing up a nuclear power plant or something... Art Bergman follows that with a nice 80s rock thing, a tad like tod Bruce Sprinsteen. Evan Johns provides a blues rock thing, kinda hard to describe, but its damn good... The Groovaholics are another fine rocking band, more chilled than the others... The album closes with a Jello Biafra giving a dictatorship/big brother style speech, with some scary atmosperic beats provided by Keith LeBlanc... "National Security is more important than Individual Rights, Sports broadcasts will proceed as scheduled... Shut Up! Be Happy! Obey All Orders without question"...
A great album, and one you know you want...

Dog On A Rope - Yob Culture 7" (1995)

1: Giro Day
2: Skrewydriver
3: Yob Culture
4: Dead Kops

Okay, how can we forget this? Dog On A Rope were a fucking awesome punk rock band from Leeds, now sadly split up. We've seen them play countless times, and drunk with them even more, they were a reet bunch of nice people and they played some of the best snarly DIY street punk rock at the time. The Write Offs actually covered one of their songs, Teacher Cop, which may end up on here one day... This 7" starts with the sing-a-long Giro Day (Hip Hip Horray, Its Giro Day) which was always a live favourite... Skrewydriver is a kick in the balls to Ian from nazi band Skrewdriver, and his fatal car accident "Ian Stuart, you blew it, we'd of done it for you, but you beat us to it". Yob Culture & Dead Kops are 2 more great punk rock songs that'll have you chanting along in no time...

The Brotherhood - Dungeon Town 12" (1998)

1: Dungeon Town

3: Six
4: Bare Destruction

It took me years to track this little beauty down. Way back in '99 a friend did me a couple of mix tapes of hip hop, every song on them was fucking awesome. Trouble was, there was no tracklist. The title track on this EP was one of my favourite songs from those tapes, and eventually after years of hunting, I managed to find out what it was and get me a copy. The Brotherhood are laid back, UK Hip Hop, a bit of a hidden gem this one. If you like yr hip hop on the more chilled side, then check this one out.

12: PitBull Mentality

15: Emergency

This right here is one of my favourite ever albums, ever. If you've not heard The Blaggers before, they mixed up street/oi style punk, but with the added elements of rap vocals, samples, dance beats, and ska horns. Well ahead of their time, and a very unique band. Lyrically they cover politics of the time, and have a very heavy anti-fascist message behind most songs. A huge influence on me, and I only ever got to see them live once. This was their greatest moment tho, raw, rough, street wise, and still sounds fresh nearly 20 years later...

I'll keep having a look tho and sort you out soon... Spithead are political two tone style ska punk, and this a is an awesome album many people have forgotten about or (as it is with the underground scene) never found out about... Half of this album will have you dancing up a reet skank, the other half will have you ready to throw bricks at coppers... I think these guys were from Birmingham, and they long split up, so grab yerself a peice of the past and turn up them speakers...

My God Can Beat Up Your God - Issue 6 (1998)

This is a old Thirsk zine from 1998, the print quality aint great, but unless you already have a copy, you'll probably never get to read this. Tons of interviews (some good, some a pish waste of space) with the likes of Oi Polloi, The Selecter, Lowlife, PMT, The Bus Station Loonies, Snuff, Joe Ninety, and a couple of tour diarys from Chopper & The Write Offs. Loads of reviews, plus articles, columns, recipies, letters, and general space wasting... Stuff on David Cronenberg, Shrimps guide to Slasher Films, Punk Rock, Geeks Corner, and the usual heapings of Thirsk humour, all in a scrappy cut & paste fashion...
This pack contains scans of each page of the zine. You can do with them as you please...

The Write Offs / Homebrew Split 7" (1998)

Potatoe Print Records, Green Vinyl

Side A - The Write Offs
1: Legalise
2: McFuck
Side B - Homebrew
3: Punch Drunk
4: Homebrew

I had just left The Write Offs, and just joined Homebrew when this came about. If I was a lucky lad, I'd have managed to get on both sides off this, but alas, I made it onto neither. Although I did write the lyrics to The Write Offs tracks, so alls not lost here... A great green 7" slab of vinyl, with 2 bands who played countless gigs together back in the day. The Write Offs open with a ska/reggae number called Legalise, a song about that special green herb. They follow with a rawkus punk rock blast full of expletives aimed at McDonalds, which was all the rage back in the 90s. Homebrew are here with an early line up, before Lee from Joe Ninety joined. Punch Drunk is a rocking punk song about drinking and fighting, and they follow it up with their anthem, Homebrew - "Drinking & Smoking, Laughing & Joking... We're In It For Life"... A nice blast from the past this is, hope you's enjoy it...

Mafia Vs. Ninja - Radiation Generation CD (2002)

Self Released EP

1: Crossface
2: Radiation Generation
3: Nobby (Live)

Probably the most crazy, funny and disturbing tour/gig stories I have are from my times in Thirsk Splattercore ska-rap freaks 'Mafia Vs Ninja'. This is probably my favourite MvsN release, apart from the un-released EP we recorded just before we split. These 3 songs are where done while I was on hiatus from the band (but dont let that put you off...). The first track Crossface is ballsy, demented punk rock ska core and rap fuelled mayhem, just bursting with anger and venom, about self-doubt and paranoia. Radiation Generation is a right fucking beauty, more straight melodic punk rock this time, with hints of Bad Religion, about the addiction many people now have with pathetic gadgets, phones, computers and what-not. The 3rd one is a joke song we wrote when we first got together, and is about drummer Nobby, recorded in Hull (I think) and you can catch Jimbo from Freaks Union shouting 'Ay Up, we're from Hull' at the begining... We dropped this from the set early on, so this a chance to relive those foul memories of 7 or 8 inbred morons drunk on stage.

15: "BabyLet'sHaveABabyBeforeBushDoSomethin'Crazy" (featuring Sylk-E. Fyne)
16: "Captain Sterling's Little Problem" (featuring Tom Morello)
17: "The Stand"

I love The Coup. Its like, part nerdy guy, part angry ass-political activist, and part laid back cool muthafucker. Not sticking to the basic cut n paste hip hop genre, The Coup mix up things, and experiment with the sound, making it a joy to listen to each track, unlike alot of monotonous generic hip hop. Social & political observations, mixed with a good dose of humour and personality, and uplifting beats that even a white boy could dance to. This album is just busting with classics, from the head bopping floor-packing Laugh/Love/Fuck - "I'm here to Laugh Love Fuck & Liquor, and help the damn Revolution come quicker", and My Favourite Mutiny - "The governments of the world are shark infested, they got their own weaponry like Charlton Heston" to laid back, red-eyed and funky "I Just Wanna Lay Around All Day In Bed With You" and "Baby, Lets Have A Baby Before Bush Do Something Crazy".
If you like your hip hop with a bit of something extra special, lyrics that actually have something relevant to say, and still be FUN to listen to, then this my friend, is the record for you... Dont delay things anymore, get it and you won't regret it...

Just Say No To Government Music

1: Sun Burns Cold
2: Terminal Recess
3: Miles Away
4: Got A Revolution
5: Melting

I think my first memory of this Blackpool based band wasn't their music. It was their stickers. The little yellow stickers that seemed to be plastered in every city you went to, and every record shop you visited. An oldie is this mini-LP, but its a goodie non-the-less. All 5 tracks on this here self-released record are great, melodic punk rock, great vocals, great lyrics, and just catchy as hell. Fans of Snuff, Husker Du and that vein of punk rock would do well to check out this classic, and often forgotten band.

W.O.R.M - Pray TV/ F.U.C.K. 7" (1994)

1: Pray TV
2: F.u.c.k

If you've been to more than a couple of punk rock gigs over the last 15 or so years, chances are you've seen W.O.R.M. They've played our home town a few times in the past (back when we were allowed to put on punk gigs in the locals pubs) and they were always well recieved. This is probably one of their most shiney moments. Back when In the 90s the punk zine scene were giving this 7" rave reviews left right & chelsea, and it still holds well today, over 15 years on. Great melodic, but still ballsy punk rock, with attitude, hooks, and everything else you could ever want.
So if you've worn out your original copy, forgot about them for a while, or if you've never even heard them before, I can heartily reccomend clicking on that download link below, and having yourself a reet good head bop session...

Urin-8 - Bizarresque EP 7" (1992)

1: I'm Gonna Get You (Defac 8 Mix)
2: I'm Gonna Get You (Maturb 8 Mix)

Another rare little Snuff gem here. Urin-8 were a one-off piss take of crappy dance band Altern-8, who did that 'I'm Gonna Get You Baby' track that you'll probably regret remembering... The first side is Snuff (or at least a couple of the guys from Snuff) doing a punk rock version of the song. Typical Snuff sound, which we all love to bits, melodic punk rock, fast as hell with those familar Snuff vocals, and a to be honest its a great improvement on the original song. The second side is a dance remix of the original, with samples of Crass thrown in for good measure. Well, I say 'good measure', but its still a wanky old 90s dance track after all.
Think this is another rare 7" that no doubt a lot of you folk will either of missed, or didnt even know existed, so go grab the little bugger now...

Snuff - 1990 Tour Flexi Disc 7" (1990)

1: Blankety Blank
2: Ten Minutes
3: Dont Fear The Reaper

Think Snuff gave away/sold this on their 1990 tour. Anyway, my cosin got a copy back then, and gave it to me when he decided not to keep hold of his music collection (the fool). Anyhoo, its very typical Snuff from back then, the first track is a cover of the them from hit 80s TV show Blankety Blank. Ten Minutes is typical Snuff punk rock, and it ends with a cover of the classic Dont Fear The Reaper, in typical Snuff fashion...
Think this is pretty rare, so you Snuff fans out there enjoy...

Dave Heroes Heroes (Part 1: Bryan Danielson)

On Sunday Night, Sept the 19th 2010, pro-wrestler Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson from his indie-wrestling days) captured the WWE US Title from The Miz on the Night Of Champions PPV.
I always been a fan of this man, since seeing him wrestle for Ring Of Honor, where he made a name for himself as 'The Best In The World'. A great technical wrestler, submission expert, and despite what Michael Cole says, Bryan has got heaps of personality, and knows how to work a crowd (especially nerdy marks like me). So far his WWE run has been a stop-start affair (especially after being suspended for choking out a ring announcer with a tie), but his Indie career has been blazing hot for years, and many predict his WWE to follow suit.
In tribute to this man, we're rewinding the clock back to 2006, where he reigned as Ring Of Honor Champion, and his entrance music was Europe's 'The Final Countdown', and are putting up the album this cheesey rock anthmn came from...
I was going to put up something by a vegan band too, seen as he's vegan (yey), but don't couldn't find anything suitable... Maybe another time when he wins a major title?

The second punk album I ever bought around 1990 - still holds strong as one of my all time faves - and the second installment from which is commonly referred to as one of BR's 'Holy Trinity' LPs (along with 'Suffer' and 'Against the Grain'). With more hooks than Abu Hamza on a fishing boat this badboy rocks like a muthafucka - raw, fast, ballsy, and lashings and lashings of 'oozing aaarhhs' just the way I like it. As soon as I heard it there was no turning back - the whole punk rock rollercoaster just blew up for me. Many a classic on here - 'Automatic Man', 'Change of Ideas' 'You' - all are little belters! Makes me reminisce way back to the heady days of school, skating and month-long parties and this baby was always a regular rockin from tha ghetto blaster as we shredded Wm Low's carpark or on the turntable as we tried smoking more banana skins. Tracks even featured on the Paper Bag Man flicks - we all loved this album - lots ... and still do. A essential classic you've probably already heard but maybe not in a while, so treat yourself... go on.

17: "You Never Know" (feat. Jean Grae)
18: "One" (remix) (feat. Akir)

This is EXACTLY what we want from our hip hop. One of the finest rap albums ever, offensive, humourous, political, conspiracy tinged & and down-right cool as fuck. All the tracks on this album are killers, but the real stand out ones (for me at least) are Peruvian Cocaine - which tells the story of fucked up the coke trade is, You Never Know - a heart breaking tale of falling in love with someone who is dying, The Cause of Death - which is about the Sept 11th attacks, and the raw & in-yer-face Obnoxious. Infact, its hard, they're all fucking great. Great beats, great ryhmes, just get it, ok?

19 Tracks of rough, beer drinkin', whiskey sippin', gun shootin' fun.

Tha Gremlnz - All Or Nuthin' CD (2006)

D420 Mu-Sick, CD Demo/EP

1: Aqua Dub Intro
2: Blindfolded
3: All Or Nuthin'
4: Helluva Day
5: World Of Demons
6: The Mush Smack
7: Two Thousand And Nineteen
8: The Ballad Of Mr. Crump

Another biased entry here, but who cares? Tha Gremlynz are/were Mr Bear, BeatUp and Bibbow (who all used to be in Thirsk ska punk outfit BossEye), plus some friends who happened to be around while we were recording or writing in our old flat (Finkle Street Bloods, yo). Its a killa mix of styles, mainly ska and rap. The first track Aqua Dub is a quick little dub reggae ditty with a nice sample we stumbled across watching the God channel. Blindfolded is a blazing punk rock thrashy one, featuring Kristian (original Bosseye vocalist & Right To Riot) on vocals, and sampling Nobby from Mafia Vs Ninjas drumming. All Or Nuthin' is pretty much straight forward white boy rap. Shrimp from Thriskploitation did a video for this, which I think is somewhere on MySpace... Helluva Day is a ragga cover of a BossEye song that we never got round to recording, and is sweetened up by the loverly vocals of Charlie W. World of Demons is one of my favourite songs on this, Bibbows rock guitar solo at the start before it goes all hip hop is just too damn awesome for words. Mush Smack is weird, a stoner track probably best sums it up... Two Thousand & Nineteen starts with a sample from the film 2019 (not heard of it? Its one of the best low budget apocalyptic 80s films ever...) and goes into futuristic rock rap, and its worth noting king of comedy Captain Hotknives plays guitar on this too. The EP ends with The Ballad Of Mr Crump, a nice guitar riff and a sample, we keep our shits simples...
Thirsk DIY at its best...

The Fuckers - Block Party 7" (1992)

1992, Sup Pop (Green Vinyl)

1: Block Party
2: A Godamn Anthem About Man

I was probably doing my GCSEs when I first heard this. An angry as hell slab of green vinyl, busting with balaclavas & violence. A lot of stuff on Sub-Pop at the time was grungey and heavy, this was just raw and nasty punk, kinda like an even nastier version of The Dwarves (who to be honest, I have my suspicions are behind this band, but I don't know for sure. Its probably definatley a side project band by some dudes anyhoo). Took me nearly 20 years to track down a copy of this all for my very own, and it still puts the hairs on my neck up. I wanna reach for that crack pipe and break something...

The Write Offs - Big Dawg EP (1997)

Peter Bower Records 002 (500 pressed vinyl)

1: Fanzine Girl
2: Cold
3: A Song For Me
4: Words
5: Catch The Pigeon

This is a pretty special record to me, it was me first proper band, and our first outting on vinyl. Long long long out of print, limited to (I think) 500, on Peter Bower Records.
Not awesome recording, and the ska-punk genre got pretty much played to death over the following years, but back in 1997, we were all fresh-faced whipper-snappers and this was what we loved to do. Probably best known for the rowdy Yorkshire cover of that cartoon theme, Catch The Pigeon (which is actually Stop the Pigeon, but we never realised, despite the fact we pretty much watched cartoon 24-7 back then). Fanzine Girl is an ultra cheesey ska-punk love song, about a girl I saw selling zines at an Ignite gig back in 96-ish. Its meant to be cheese, and it does the job well. Cold, Song For Me & Words were eventually re-recorded with the second line up (Katy on sax in, Aaron on vox out)...
The Write Offs put out another 7" which was a split with drunk punkers Homebrew, and a few tracks appeared on some compilation cds, and an awful lot of tracks got lost in time. I think the last Write Offs gig was in 2000, not entirely sure. Cheers to everyone who was a part of one of the best times of our lives.
Enjoy our first little baby...
