A super group for the 2000’s – Rancid, The Slackers and Blink 182 – the first album is definitely a must hear. Punk meets hiphop, meets god know what – great music great sound. Possibly my most favorite and a definite ear-worm. https://youtu.be/TuWuoOX0yis Now for the one I first heard https://youtu.be/I9lWfAemdNg and one from theContinueContinue reading “The Transplants”

KMFDM
Kill mother fuckin depeshed mode – as one of my acquaintances told me the meaning of their name was many years ago.. OK KMFDM stands for Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as “no pity for the majority”. If anyone asks what industrial music is — well KMFDM is the answerContinueContinue reading “KMFDM”
Royal Blood

The Foo Fighters
OK … I give you one of my most favorite songs – and an amazing band .. I was lucky enough to be at reading when they played the second tent .. and then on several times when they played mainstage .. I also had the misfortune to see Nirvana before Mr Grohl joined themContinueContinue reading “The Foo Fighters”
Nonpoint
Having requested recommendations for bands to try – I’d like to thank NonPoint for being the first and they recommended —- erm.. themselves– well I have no problem with self publicity. Really quite surprised I hadn’t encountered them before especially when I realized they have been going for since 1997 – I must have heardContinueContinue reading “Nonpoint”
The Specials
Now a few posts ago I mentioned Two-Tone – the sound out of Coventry – if you don’t know where coventry is – Find birmingham on a map and … well lets be honest its sort of south east of Brum .. but if you’ve found brum why go to coventry?.. Ok off my localContinueContinue reading “The Specials”

Alkaline Trio
Along time ago a friend of mine introduced me to this wonderful group – an amazing mix of morbid lyrics with foot tapping music. I was very lucky to see them play a smallish venue in 2006 and have been an avid fan ever since. They present a music of depressive happiness, I can notContinueContinue reading “Alkaline Trio”
The Interrupters
A new band with a classic Two Tone sound – if you don’t know Two Tone (possibly the only good thing to come out of Coventry UK)- can I recommend you look up The Specials, Madness, The Selecter, The Beat and Some of The Clash. In fact I’ll do a post for some of theseContinueContinue reading “The Interrupters”
Frank Turner
OK I know I have mentioned him twice so far in this blog – but I have not actually done one of my dedicated posts for him – so here we are. To me Frank is modern folk at its best – songs for now that should still be sung in 100 years – theseContinueContinue reading “Frank Turner”
