10:02 PM |
| The Fall Mansion This Nation's Saving Grace Beggars Banquet 1985 I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
|
10:05 PM |
| White Lung Face Down Deep Fantasy Domino Recording Co 2014 Third studio LP from this Canadian punk band. For my money (and it ain't much) one of the best punk bands to emerge in the last decade or so. |
10:07 PM |
| Soundgarden Drawing Flies Badmotorfinger (25th Anniversary Remaster) A&M 2016 Dig that trumpet and saxamaphone on this cut. Opened for Skid Row in '92 in support of this album. |
10:10 PM |
| Adolescents Wrecking Crew Adolescents Frontier 1981 Prior to Christian Death, Rikk Agnew was guitarist for Adolescents, specifically on this album. Adolescents would then break up four months later. |
10:12 PM |
| Black Market Baby Potential Suicide Coulda... Shoulda... Woulda: The Black Market Baby Collection Dr. Strange Records 1980 80s Washington DC punk band and one of few bands from that era/region NOT signed to Dischord Records. Probably because they didn't take themselves as seriously as those peers. This cut was ranked by Rhino Records as one of the best punk singles of the 80s. |
10:15 PM |
| The Fix Vengeance The Speed of Twisted Thought Touch and Go Records 2006 Short-lived Michigan punk band active from 1980-82. Fronted by Steve Miller. No, not that Steve Miller. The other Steve Miller. No, not that one either. The other one. You know the one. |
10:16 PM |
| The Germs Circle One (MIA): The Complete Anthology Rhino/London-Sire 1993 The title and lyrics to this song are references to the circle of fans that were strongly devoted to frontman Darby Crash. Almost cult-like in their devotion. |
10:18 PM |
| Jerry's Kids Cracks In The Wall Is This My World? Taang! Records 2006 1983 debut LP from this Boston hardcore punk band. Play around Boston occasionally (or did). |
10:26 PM |
| Motordamn Ballroom Blitz Over the Top! Motordamn 1979 Best Motorhead line-up with best Damned line-up covering "Ballroom Blitz". Let's just have a cigarette and call it a night. |
10:29 PM |
| Nihilistics Death and Taxes Nihilistics Jib Machine Records 2021 80s punk band from New York. No one took them seriously. |
10:31 PM |
| The Prefects Things In General Are Amateur Wankers Acute 2004 Late 70s arty punk from England and John Peel favorites. Short-lived but several members would go on to form the post-punk band The Nightingales, which we heard several weeks ago. |
10:34 PM |
| Really Red Suburban Disease New Strings for Old Puppets EP CIA Records 1982 80s Texan punk band and popular within the state. Would form an independent label showcasing other punk acts and as a means to release their own recordings. |
10:36 PM |
| Sex Pistols EMI Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols UMC (Universal Music Catalogue) 2012 At one point, the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI. It was a short-lived contract that caused the band headaches. This is Johnny Rotten trashing the label. |
10:45 PM |
| Stiff Little Fingers Alternative Ulster All the Best Parlophone UK 1983 Second single from this Northern Irish punk band released in 1978. Developed a rivalry with The Undertones, as SLF thought Undertones didn't take the Troubles seriously, if not ignoring it altogether. |
10:48 PM |
| The Undertones Family Entertainment The Undertones Salvo 2004 Another Northern Irish punk band. Much more light-hearted than Stiff Little Fingers. Both are cool. WHY ARE MOMMY AND DADDY FIGHTING!? |
10:51 PM |
| The Weirdos Fort U.S.A. Destroy All Music Bomp! Records 2007 Los Angeles punk band formed in the late 70s and active on-and-off throughout the 80s. Great tunes, weirdo stage presence (supposedly). |
10:54 PM |
| Pixies Debaser Doolittle 4AD 1989 Opening cut from this 1989 classic. The lyrics refer to Un Chien Andalou, the 1929 surrealist art film by Salvador Dali and Buñuel. |
10:57 PM |
| L7 Pretend We're Dead Bricks Are Heavy Rhino/Slash 1992 Single that saw L7 achieve mainstream recognition. Outside of radio, you've no doubt heard this song in video games, tv shows, movies, and more. |
11:01 PM |
| Hüsker Dü Eight Miles High Eight Miles High / Makes No Sense At All - EP SST Records 1990 Former WCW World Championship Wrestling writer and company covering The Byrds. Wyld! |
11:05 PM |
| Gray Matter Retrospect Food For Thought Dischord Records 2013 Here's an 80s Washington DC punk that WAS signed to Dischord Records. There is a scorching Beatles cover of "I Am the Walrus" included in the initial release pressing, later excluded from re-releases because The Beatles don't want you to have fun. |
11:07 PM |
| Fugazi Give Me the Cure 13 Songs Dischord 1989 "13 Songs" compiles the first two Fugazi EPs. Probably the band's best-selling release and most influential. |
11:10 PM |
| Dinosaur Jr. Kracked You're Living All Over Me Merge Records 2005 Dino Jr? Pixies? Husker Du? What is this, COLLEGE RADIO ROCK HOUR? No, because I dislike REM. |
11:13 PM |
| Crime Baby You're So Repulsive Murder By Guitar Superior Viaduct 2014 Self-proclaimed San Francisco's "first and only rock and roll band". Played shows in police uniforms. Heck, they performed inside San Quentin wearing police garb. And not just on stage. In the exercise yard! |
11:15 PM |
| Chrome You’ve Been Duplicated Half Machine Lip Moves / Alien Soundtracks Cleopatra 2007 Late 70s experimental punk from San Francisco. Overlooked, in my opinion, and well-worthy of your attention. |
11:17 PM |
| Sonic Youth Tunic (Song for Karen) Goo Geffen 2015 Dedicated to Karen Carpenter. |
11:31 PM |
| Shorty Skirts and Heels Thumb Days Gasoline Boost 1993 Only album from this early 90s Chicago noise-rock band. Member Mark Shippy would then form US Maple. |
11:34 PM |
| Shellac Be Prepared Excellent Italian Greyhound Touch and Go Records 2007 Fourth studio LP from the minimalist rock trio of Steve Albini, Todd Trainer, and Bob Weston. The greyhound on the cover and referenced in the title belongs to drummer Todd Trainer. |
11:38 PM |
| Roomrunner Weird Ideal Cities Fan Death Records 2013 Debut studio LP from this Baltimore noise-punk band. |
11:41 PM |
| Purling Hiss Lolita Water On Mars Drag City Records 2013 Band based out of Philly (can I call it that?) blending elements of noise, punk, folk, and psychedelia into its sound. |
11:45 PM |
| Oceans of The Moon Baby Chiffon Oceans of the Moon Castle Face 2019 Remind you of Six Finger Satellite? It should, as several members of that band are part of this one. |
11:52 PM |
| Bertie Higgins Key Largo Bertie Higgins - Single San Juan Music 1981
