Depth Charge - Nine Deadly Venoms (1994)

Photobucket

1: Shaolin Buddha Finger
2: Dead By Dawn
3: Bounty Killers
4: Depth Charge
5: Bastard Swordsmen
6: Bounty Killers II
7: Daughters Of Darkness
8: Goal
9: Hubba Hubba Hubba (What's In The Bag Man)

Something a bit different here, hope you like it. Depth Charge are/were a UK based trip hop/hip hop/dance/electronic band. Funky head bopping beats, mesmerizing loops and tastey samples fuel this instrumental album, leaving you spinning it again and again. The first song is loaded with old kung fu samples, the second samples from the Evil Dead films (which features some creepy loops and beats, very fitting to the film), and throughout the record we get treated to more samples from cowboy films, more kung fu films (some sounding like same the guy from classic kung fu epic Mafia vs Ninja, but who can tell from a dubbed film, right?), and football commentators. A bizarre mix, but it works all the same. Fans of DJ Shadow style instrumental hip hop, or cheesey old action/horror films will especially dig this.

Dave Heroes says: "You bastard, and now I'm going to do to you what you did to my father in the woods ten years ago" "Whats your name boy?" "I am Han-do Jin, Han-Wongs son"... I want to see this film.

Leatherface - Little White God 7" (1994)

Photobucket

1: Little White God
2: I Gotta Right
3: Meaning

The UKs legendary Leatherface here, and a nice little taste of their melodic, gravely voiced, Husker Du style punk rock.The first song on here is Little White God, a nice cruncy tunefull punk rock number full of the catchiest guitar hooks ever. The single follows with two covers, 'I Gotta Right' originally by Iggy & The Stooges, and 'Meaning' which is a cover of the UKs China Drum...If you've not heard Leatherface before, this is the perfect little introduction to them, and if your already a fan hopefully this'll be something you not already got... If yr only going to steal one thing today, make it this.

Dave Heroes says: Sunderlands finest export...

Chopper - Said And Done 7" (1994)

Photobucket
Crackle Records (1300 pressed in May 94 OUT OF PRINT)

1: Said And Done
2: Linzis Ceiling
3: Near To Me
4: Twister

Probably one of the first punk bands I ever saw, back when they opened for most decent US punk bands that played at the Duchess in Leeds during the mid-90s. Chopper hailed from Wakefield, and were a good mix of UK punkers Snuff, and US Punkers The Descendents. Fast paced, laced with harmonies, and just enough of a snotty attitide to keep it from being too clean and dorky. This was their first 7", on the mighty Crackle Records, they did another 3 7"s, a couple of split 7"s, and an album for them too. Not the best release they ever did, but a good place to see where they started from, and a great peice of UK pop punk history.

Dave Heroes says: The greatest UK pop punk band ever!

Guns N Wankers - Silly 7" (1994)

Photobucket

1: Guns N Wankers - Gillette
2: Guns N Wankers - Bing Bong
3: Solid Gold Hell - Valley Of Scorn
4: Chung - Flowers
5: David Kilgour - Fallaway

You might have Guns N Wankers 'Pop' & 'Hardcore' 7"s, and a few of you will have the 'Metal' 7", but this is a bit of a rare one. The 'Silly' 7" is actually just 2 Guns N Wankers tracks, plus 3 other bands doing a track each. G&Ws first one is a cover of the Gillette song (The best a man can get...), very much a Snuff track it is. Bing Bong is a punky blast, with a door bell - Silly really does some up both of their tracks, but both are good so who cares? The next track is by Solid Gold Hell, 'Valley of Scorn' is a noisey metal-ish number, and its a bit shit in all honesty. Chung are a bit better, they give us 'Flowers', which is a punky/indie pop track with sugar sweet female vocals. Finally we have David Kilgour with 'Fallaway' which is an acoustic indie pop song, ok if you like that kinda thing... Its worth it just to complete your Guns N Wankers collection, and Chung are pretty nice too...

Dave Heroes says: Guns N Wankers are ex-Snuff, so Snuff fans take note!

The Leftovers - A Few Days Difference 7" (1994)

Photobucket

1: Nothin Changes
2: Why?
3: The Things We Do
4: The Difference Of A Few Days...
5: URA Bitch And U Gotta Mustache

Quite a nice little EP this is, manic punky ska, with a singer who sounds like he's a cartoon. Dont let that put you off though, its goofy enough to fit the music. Not as generic or as uninteresting as thousands of other bands doing this kind of ska/punk mash up, musically in the same vein as the legendry Op Ivy, but the lyrics are a little more light hearted. If ska punk is yr thing, I'm sure you'll love this rare little beauty...

Dave Heroes says: Operation Ivys younger goofy brother?

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

Photobucket

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...
