Let Them Eat Jellybeans

Here's a classic album for you... Let Them Eat Jellybeans, subtitled "17 Extracts From Americas Darker Side", is a compilation album released on the Alternative Tentacles label in 1981. It was one of the earliest compilations of underground music in the United States and its original release included an insert of all of the punk bands known to be playing in the U.S. and Canada at that time. The first side of the LP features songs by a number of bands that formed the canon of American hardcore punk in the 1980s, while the second side features more of an art rock sound.

The Plight-Feb 2010 Tour Cancelled

05-2010: Unfortunately The Plight have had to cancel this tour due to the loss of a band member. They'll be back ;)

Here's some words from the band...


I cannot fully express how bad we feel for doing this but we have to cancel the tour.

Really sorry for the hassle this will cause, but we have no other choice.

Our bass player walked out on us last night. After nearly 3 years of being in the band and working various shit jobs and turning down most other commitments, he’s decided that the job he’s been offered is too much to turn down.

I hope you appreciate this whole thing has been a nightmare for us. Sean had told us he was leaving before this but had agreed to do the tour as a farewell, especially as I had booked it. We literally found out last night that he could no longer honor this. There's no hard feelings but of course it's a shame to have to cancel. Not to mention the fact that our drummer left the band a few weeks ago, which we'd managed to replace before the tour. We have a lad with a killer groove on drums now. Watch this space I guess.

The heart of the band is still alive and we will back with vengeance later in the year. Hopefully we can book the tour in a couple of month’s time when we have sorted this. To try get someone to fill in at this late stage (1 week before the first gig) would be a dishonor to our selves as well as people listening.

Again. Sorry for the fuck about. We will be back.

THE PLIGHT

Here's a copy of the tour poster and you can buy their latest album "Winds Of Osiris" from Amazon.

There's more posts for The Plight on this blog already.

Time for some ska I reckon. This is a collection of rare tracks from the mid to late 1960s and features some of the biggest names from that era.

I don't think this was ever officially released and has been floating round the internet under the name "Ska Rarities Volume 2: El Bang Bang".

Stoner Rock Collection

Here's a compilation of some of the Stoner Rock bands I've been listening to lately. Most of it is your standard big riffs, bass heavy stoner rock but there's also a bit of sludge/doom for your listening pleasure.

According to wikipedia stoner rock and stoner metal are interchangeable terms describing sub-genres of rock and heavy metal music. It combines elements of psychedelic rock, blues-rock and doom metal. Stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production. The genre emerged during the early 1990s and was pioneered foremost by the Californian bands Kyuss and Sleep.

35007

I only heard 35007 for the first time just before Christmas and they've already made it into my 'one of the best bands ever' list. Going by the enigmatic code name 35007 ("loose" spelled upside down), Dutch musicians Mark Sponselee (guitar, bass, drums, synths, effects), Bertus Fridael (guitar), Michel Boekhoudt (bass), and Sander Evers (drums) perform ambient trance-groove music of a predominantly instrumental design. Secretive by nature, the group rarely performs live, and when it does, it’s usually with the help of a visual specialist to provide a truly multimedia and multi-sensory experience. They're kind of a mix of Hawkwind, Earth & System 7... and very, very good if you like your music cosmic ;)
