Welcome
to Episode 489 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, where I’m still getting over
the TurboFlu that I picked up at Deathtime ASSembly two weeks ago. Anyway
thanks to Damo of Muscle Car and the Long
Gone Loser Podcast my love for the Goo Goo Dolls was re-ignited so
obviously something by them is aired. Off the back of this I get all nostalgic
and play a song from a 4-track cassette demo that I played bass on. The band in
question was called Tunguska that was around in 1993. Yoko Ono is up next with
a track from her latest revisited and reworked album “Yes, I’m A Witch Too”. On
to brand new music in the shape and form of the FUKDUST4 whose debut album “The
Last Of The Rock And Roll Bastards” is out on Monday. The band features Bri
Slutcher, Jeff Hateley, Dave Ohms and Steve G. Black Bombers self-titled album
isn’t out until May but that doesn’t stop me playing something from it to get
you in the mood and popping over to Easy Action Records to pre-order it. Former
Diamond Dogs and current vocalist in The Crunch, Sulo has just released an
album of Punk Poet Garry Johnson’s work set to music called “Punk Rock Stories
And Tabloid Tails”, naturally a track from it is played and if you want to
catch Sulo playing some of the songs live pop up to the Oi Oi shop in Stables
Market, Chalk Farm at 3’o clock on the 14th May. Royal Republic are
up next with a track from their just released “Weekend Man” LP. The band played
the Underworld last Wednesday, surprisingly as a support act, but unfortunately
I was seeing Ghost at The London Palladium. Reckless Love are also over here at
the moment promoting their brand new album “InVader” which I’ve only had the briefest
of listens to so just play the first track from it. I know I only played new
Los Pepes last week however as the band have let slip the title track “All Over
Now” it seemed rude not to share it with you. Discharge’s latest album “End Of
Days” is due out soon on Nuclear Blast and I think the first full length to
feature new vocalist JJ. Of course I play something from it. Up next are three
interconnected bands in the form of Motörhead, The Damned and the Open Mind
with a 7”, a Peel Session and another 7”. If you need me to tell you what links
them I’ll be very disappointed. TV Crime from Nottingham come Power Popping
along with a track from their just released single but its Sin City Sinners
with their Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd mash up that finishes things off this week.
