Shock,
Horror! I’m back in the studio this week with The Ramones kicking things off
then The Sonic’s whose latest album has just come out a massive 49 years after
their last remind us the 60’s weren’t just about “The British Invasion”. Up
next is a track from Punk Uberlord Brian James’ new solo album “The Guitar That
Dripped Blood” that features Dead Boy Cheetah Chrome on additional guitar.
Stinking with The Damned connection; The Deadmen Walking a band that features core
members Captain Sensible, Slim Jim Phantom, Mike Peters and newest edition
Chris Cheney from the Living End with guests spots from Fred Armisen and some guy called
Duff McKagan who obviously wants to boost his credibility, are all set to
release their debut album “Easy Piracy” on May 7th in the meantime I
play the first single from it. The Ruts DC come crashing in next with a track
from their Book Pledge and sticking with pledging for a few more songs I play a
track from Jettblack’s third album “Disguises” and one from The Crunch’s second
album “Brand New Band” and something from The Eureka Machines latest “Brain
Waves”. Cover territory this week comes courtesy of John Dissed and The
Discontents a band that features one time American Heartbreak and Jetboy
drummer Jeff Moscone. Jesse Malin of D Generation fame has just released his
first album in over five years which is called New York Before The War”. The
track I play features Brother Wayne Kramer. In stock news I play some CrashDïet
as Simon Cruz has left the aforementioned band, then some Hornet as they have
called it a day with finally some Treatment as Matt Jones, like Simon Cruz has
left his respective band. If you are listening to The Wall Rock Radio Beat The
Drag are going to bring my hour to a close. A great band that I literally heard
only this morning. Its riffy rock as much influenced by the Backyard Babies as
it is by Fu Manchu and old Def Leppard. Some Eighties-inspired solos as well.” For
everybody else it’s The Quireboys with a track off their 4CD Box set "St
Cecilia and the Gypsy Souls" and then it’s Beat The Drag with Whitesnake Burn(ing)
things up at the end of the show
