Here's another single from my recent sort out. The Cravats were a punk rock band from Redditch near Birmingham, England. They only released one single on Crass Records but had a few other releases on Small Wonder Records and the like. Again this is not your standard anarcho-punk fare but something a little different and definitely worth hearing. You can check out the wikipedia page for The Cravats here.
Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)... 01) Rub Me Out 02) When Will We Fall
Hit Parade was Dave Hyndman from Belfast, with occassional assistance by members of Crass on backing vocals but mostly it was Dave. This EP was released in 1982 on Crass Records & rather than guitars, bass & drums it is anarcho-dance!?!, using drum boxes & samplers. I've also included a rip of the Plastic Culture 12" EP, which was released in 84.
(text from Southern Records)
This record exposes the tyranny of the British Government's attacks on Northern Ireland. Borrowing from Outta Control: Paper of the Belfast Anarchists, the record sleeve/poster details the atrocities of prisons in which "political criminals" are locked up for speaking out against the unjust, violent sectarian state which has long ignored outcries from its inhabitants. The sleeve/poster pictures those who died in peaceful demonstrations and hunger strikes, specifically, the "H Block" hunger strike. "Britains role in Northern Ireland, both on the streets and in legislative methods is clearly repressive and designed to keep in check a rebellious section of the population...which seeks to take control of and responsibility for its own future.
AS LONG AS POPULATIONS ARE UNABLE TO TAKE A UNITED STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION, THEY WILL REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO IT.
I've been digging through some old singles recently so I thought I'd post a few up. The "Beware Sleeping Dogs" EP was released on Crass Records in 1982 and rather than being your standard anarcho-punk this is definitely more of an experimental style. The Sleeping Dogs were the first American band on Crass Records though the American singer/poet Annie Anxiety had released the Barbed Wire Halo EP in 1981 (Cheers to SP for reminding me). Although this EP was released over 25 years ago the lyrics are still valid today covering subjects like American imperialism and war.
Here's the tracklisting (256kbps)...
01) Same Old Story
02) Concrete
03) Suzy's Song
04) (I Got My Tan In) El Salvador
05) Soldier
Okay then... here's an album from a true eccentric. Ivor Cutler was a singer / poet / musician / writer / oddball from Glasgow in Scotland. This album was originally released in 1974 and even though I've heard a few of his other albums this is the one I know best. It contains such classics as Fremsley, I Believe In Bugs & If All The Cornflakes. Let's be honest, this isn't the kind of thing you'll be listening to everyday (respect to you if you do tho :) but every once in a while it's a lovely thing to hear.
There's a full discography/bibliography at his wikipedia page. I won't show the full track list here as there's 45 songs, view them here.
This post is to wish my mate Leon a happy birthday :)
Here's a copy of the Five Day Rain album (Leon's dad was the keyboard player). This was originally released in 1970 and is one of the best 60s-style (hippies ;) albums you've never heard.
Five Day Rain were basically a studio band. They never toured or did any gigs but spent their time with Homegrown Music writing songs either at Grahams cottage or in the studio. The line up was Graham Maitland (keyboards/organ/Mellotron), Rick Sharpe (lead guitar), Clive Burgess (bass) and the drummer who’s name was Kim (apparently). Added to this line up was John Holbrook who was another engineer at IBC at the time of the recordings.
(following text from phrockblog.blogspot.com) This band formed in late '68 as Iron Prophet, a heavy trio comprising Rick Sharpe, Clive Burgess and Dick Hawkes. They changed their name to Five Day Rain in early 1970 with the arrival of Graham Maitland. This is one of the rarest UK albums; just 15 copies of this album were put out but soon after someone circulated 'white label' copies of it so beware of these. The album was recorded at IBC Studios in Portland Place, London, during 1970. Some of the best albums and singles of the 60's and 70's come out of there but sadly the premises are now offices. Brian Carroll and the legendary engineer Damon Lyon-Shaw produced and mixed for their own 'HOMEGROWN MUSIC' company. Brian started as a disc cutter there, and cut the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Small Faces, and 'Live at Leeds' for the Who. Damon engineered all the major LP's of the late 60's and early 70's for everyone from The Who, The Small Faces, Status Quo, Cream and the Rolling Stones & albums such as Tommy and Farewell Cream. The incredibly talented Sharon Tandy was on backing vocals, along with Lynn Maitland (hello Leon's mum :), as were Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell & Dan Peek from the band America.
Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)... 01) Marie's A Woman 02) Leave It At That 03) Don't Be Misled 04) Rough Cut Marmalade 05) Good Year 06) Sea Song 07) Lay Me Down 08) The Reason Why 09) Fallout [Bonus tracks from remastered album (256kbps)] 10) Too Much Of Nothing 11) Antonia 12) So Don't Worry 13) The Boy 14) Wanna Make Love To You
This is a collection of music by the Butthole Surfers. They've covered a wide spectrum of musical styles from the standard alternative rock, sounding like R.E.M. right through to the bizarre and experimental, sounding like... well... only The Buttholes really and that is something you have to admire and respect. This best of will give you a bit of all their different sounds so there should definitely be something you like. It will all fit nicely onto a CD and I've included some covers if you want to burn yourself a copy.
(following text from wikipedia) The Butthole Surfers are an American alternative / punk / experimental / drug crazed rock band formed by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in San Antonio, Texas in 1981. The band has had numerous personnel changes, but the core lineup of Haynes, Leary, and drummer King Coffey has been together since 1983.
The Buttholes are best known for their chaotic and disturbing live shows, black humor, a sound that incorporates elements of punk rock, psychedelia, heavy metal, noise rock, and electronica, as well as their use of sound manipulation and tape editing. The Buttholes have a well-reported appetite for recreational drugs, particularly psychedelics, an evident influence on their sound.

I got a request to post up some Eat Static so here it is.
Eat Static is an electronic music project from Somerset, England formed in 1989 by Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton. They met as drummer and keyboard player (respectively) for the Ozric Tentacles, a long-standing psychedelic space rock band from Somerset. Although Ozric Tentacles incorporated elements of electronic music, Pepler and Hinton were drawn towards the rave oriented dance music. In 1988 they collaborated on a project under the name of Wooden Baby which hinted at early rave and techno sounds as well as numerous other styles, and by 1990, the project had evolved in to Eat Static. They've covered most of the different rave genres, from psychedelic trance to drum & bass and the latest album (Back To Earth) has a definite latin feel to it.

Here's the second part of the post-hardcore/screamo collection that I posted the other day. Again none of these bands are household names so if they're putting on a gig you should go along and support them if you can.
I've only done a few songs from each band so if you like them go and buy the CD. There's a few different bitrates but nothing less than 192kbps. Actually you can find more by Tortuga, Dead Swans & The Plight on this blog already.
DEAD SWANS Thinking Of You (from It's Starting EP) 20/07/07 (from Southern Blue EP) Ascension / Ivy Archway (from Sleepwalkers)

This is the first part of a collection of some of the post-hardcore / screamo bands that I've found myself listening to. None of these bands are household names (except maybe Gallows who are getting there) so if they're putting on a gig you should go along and support them if you can.

Five Horse Johnson are a five piece blues/southern rock band from Ohio in the US. They play a combination of standard blues & southern rock with a little stoner style thrown in for good measure. They're not breaking any new musical boundaries but if you like some good stomping blues rock then you should definitely give them a listen.

Well it was just a matter of time... here's a collection of some of the tunes I've written. I'm not really sure how to class it, there's some drum & bass, a couple of techno tracks and some other dance/electronica songs. A bit like The Prodigy, Orbital, stuff like that. Whatever it is, all the tracks are by me from around 2000/2001. Normally Im not that bothered about you leaving comments (tho' I'd rather you did :) but after listening to this I would really appreciate any comments you can give me :)
I'm an old hippy at heart and I have a definite soft spot for the music of Steve Hillage. As well as playing in bands like Gong, Khan & Arzachel he also released many albums as a solo artist. Not only all that (and also his production work) he and Miquette Giraudy also started up System 7, a dance/electronica group similar in vein to The Orb & Eat Static but with his own style. This is a collection of some of my favourite System 7 tracks. They have a new(ish) album out which you should go and buy :)

Here's a selection of some early punk songs, well I'm pretty sure all these were released in either 1977 or 1978 so that's pretty early. I've deliberately avoided putting on any tracks by the bigger bands, such as the Sex Pistols or The Clash because you've already heard them so this concentrates on the lesser known acts from that era. Great bands like Swell Maps with their trashy style, X-Ray Spex with Poly Styrene screeching lyrics about consumerism and media control 20 years before it became fashionable and then there's the 'working class, council estate street' punk from the likes of Slaughter & The Dogs & Menace. Hope you enjoy it :)
Most of the tracks are in 320kbps mp3 format but there are some that are 256 or 192kbps. I've split the download into two parts, tracks 1 to 20 in part 1 and the rest in part 2. Each part is around 100MB in size.

I've recently been reading No Mercy, the authorised biography of The Stranglers and I'd forgotten what a good band they are. Rather than posting up one of their studio albums I thought I'd do the Live (X-Cert) album released in 1979.

Formed in Brighton in 2006, Dead Swans have been making a name throughout the UK and Europe with a ferocious blend of hardcore that takes the musical influence from turn of the century Boston hardcore like American Nightmare and Right Brigade. They add a discordant melody and double bass metallic edge that, when combined with vocalist Nick Worthington’s strained voicebox abuse, creates a mix that has been garnering the band global attention (text from Bridge Nine Records website).

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra was the creation of classically-trained guitarist, composer and arranger Simon Jeffes. Jeffes and cellist co-founder Helen Liebmann were the only core members throughout its life; a number of other musicians appeared on the PCO's six studio albums according to the requirements of particular pieces.
The Penguin's sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass (text from wikipedia.org).

Here's the second part of the American Hardcore punk and thrash compilations I did. Again this will all fit nicely onto a single CD and I've even included front and back covers if you would like to burn yourself a copy :)
NOTES:
The CD cover is basically copied from The History Of American Hardcore DVD which is well worth a watch if you can. There is also a soundtrack album available from the DVD... but mine are better :)
... And yes I know The Stupids were from the UK ;)

This is a 30 minute collection of some dubstep mixed by DJ Mikron. Dubstep is a genre of electronic music that has its roots in London's early 2000's UK garage scene. Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its 2step rhythm, or use of snare sounds similar to 2step garage & grime, & an emphasis on bass, often producing "dark" sounds, but just as frequently producing sounds reminiscent of dub reggae.
Here's the tracklisting (320kbps mp3)... 01) I Dont Give A Dub [Cotti] 02) Halogen [Cluekid] 03) Fallen (Vex'd Remix) [Distance] 04) Night (Remix) [Benga And Coki] 05) Chainsaw [16Bit] 06) In The Death Car [16Bit] 07) Coast II Coast [DZ]
