Punks Make Your Day

No More Punks

2013-06-08T12:42:00.001+03:00

It's been a whole year and unfortunately I don't see any way of me making another post here. Rapidshare has made a habit of screwing things up royally for the last couple of years and, apart from that, I really can't seem to have the time or the will to be bothered to upload everything back up or to even start making new posts and upload new stuff; so please don't make any requests for reuploads. Internet is vast you know, you can find literally everything you need without looking for rapidshare links, Soulseek being my preferred method when it comes to music. I'd like to thank all the followers of this blog and everyone that supported it in any way, including the ones that bothered to leave a thank-you comment.
Punks Make Your Day might be over, but I will be moving on (I already have, actually) to Parasighting; hope to see you there. Cheers \m/

Drawing their inspiration from the raw nostalgia of '60s rock, the Woggles added their own hybrid of surf, R&B, rockabilly, and blues upon their 1987 formation. Based out of Athens, GA, the band eventually released a handful of EP on Zontar, Estrus, and Lance Rock Records between 1990 through 1993, Estrus Records packaged the bands first full-length, Teen Dance Party, in 1993. Following the Zontar Sessions album a year later on Estrus, Telstar Records put out the Woggles third full-length, Get Tough!, in 1997, amongst another batch of 7"s in between. The mini-album Wailin' with the Woggles came out on One Louder Records the following year.

KSMB

2012-04-09T22:24:00.002+03:00

KSMB never fared very well with the critics. But while they've always stood in the shadows of the critically hailed Ebba Grön, at their height of fame in the early '80s they were able to draw almost as big crowds. Where Ebba Grön were angry and serious and in some ways lyrical, KSMB were more playful and had a stronger "don't give a damn" attitude. Maybe KSMB didn't have the same talent when it came to lyrics, but this, together with their approach and their singalong friendliness, in a way only made them more punk. After their first album, KSMB developed a slightly softer sound, similar to what would later be called punk-pop. The band only held together until 1982, but the last year it was one of the most popular live acts in Sweden. After that, KSMB members were involved with other bands (Strindberg, Stockholms Negrer) until they reunited in 1993, but that didn't prove very successful.

The Boogie Punkers

2012-02-20T09:32:00.003+02:00

The Spaniards Boogie Punkers became known as "a fast rock n' roll, psychotic swing, futuristic rockabilly, surf punk band. The 50's soundtrack mutated for the 21st century". They avoided typical examples, not limiting themselves in one particuler genre. Their first self-titled album was released in 2003, and their second one (suitably entitled The Brooklyn Sessions) was recorded live in Broolkyn, NY. The Boogie Punkers disbanded in 2007, after which their members got into other musical projects.

Ebba Grön

2012-02-13T18:41:00.004+02:00

Ebba Grön was a Swedish punk/rock band. The band was formed in 1977 by Joakim Thåström (Pimme), Gunnar Ljungstedt (Gurra) and Lennart Eriksson (Fjodor), all from Rågsved, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. Their debut album, We’re Only in it for the Drugs, was released in 1978. After their second album Kärlek & Uppror (“Love & Revolt”) in 1981, Anders Sjöholm (Stry Terrarie) joined them. Their third album, released in 1982 and simply named Ebba Grön, also became their last; the band never recovered after Fjodor went to jail for four months for refusing to do military service, and the group disbanded in 1983. The three remaining members went on to form the group Rymdimperiet, which soon became the influential rock band Imperiet.
“Ebba Grön” was a code name the Swedish police used in an operation against a terrorist group (a part of the German Red Army Faction), planning to kidnap the Minister for Immigration, Anna-Greta Leijon, in 1976.
Their probably most famous and most played song is "Staten och Kapitalet" (“The State and the Capital”, roughly translated) and is a song purely and very directly critical towards the Swedish politics and politicians of the time, or maybe unjust politicians in general. The song is actually a cover of Blå Tåget’s "Den ena handen vet vad den andra gör" (“The one hand knows what the other hand is doing”).

Total Control

2012-02-01T09:02:00.002+02:00

Featuring some of the strongest germs in Melbourne, Australia’s garage punk scene, Total Control formed in 2008 when UV Race drummer Dan Steward and Eddy Current Suppression Ring guitarist/producer Mikey Young came together over a love of wiry '80s punk heros like Devo, Gary Numan, and the Screamers. Both initially busy with their main bands, they experimented with Total Control whenever time allowed, eventually bashing out a punky self-titled debut 7" in 2008. The band's releases came mostly in the form of quickly sold-out 7" singles for the next few years, including Paranoid Video and the cold-wavey Pyre Island. Each concurrent single saw the duo (sometimes aided by external players on these recordings) shifting styles dramatically. Fans and press alike noted Total Control growing more minimal with each gear shift, adopting more electronic elements as their catalog grew. Late 2011 saw the release of Henge Beat, their first full-length endeavor, and an amalgamation of the various cold styles that wove through their previous singles. Steward and Young enlisted the help of accomplices from the Melbourne punk underbelly for both the recording of Henge Beat as well as live shows. At this point the band enjoyed a successful tour of the States opening for San Francisco garage favorites Thee Oh Sees.

Union Carbide Productions

2012-01-21T17:58:00.000+02:00

Union Carbide Productions was a Swedish rock band formed by Ebbot Lundberg (vocals), Patrik Caganis, Björn Olsson, Per Helm and Henrik Rylander in Gothenburg. Their music can be described as a fusion of psychedelic rock and punk rock — and a bit angrier and closer to stoner rock than the Soundtrack of Our Lives (the band that emerged from the ashes of Union Carbide Productions). Their influences were the Stooges, Frank Zappa, MC5, the Rolling Stones, Love, Black Flag and Minor Threat. With a background in Gothenburg's richer suburbs, the bands members built an image of lost and alienated yuppie kids on a hunt for kicks, somewhere in a fictive world between nothing to lose and manhood test. Among band's fans, Kurt Cobain, Dave Wyndorf, Sonic Youth, Foetus, Jon Spencer, and Jello Biafra can be mentioned. The name Union Carbide Productions originates from the company name Union Carbide Corporation that was written on a battery that Björn Olsson had, and that was involved in the Bhopal disaster in 1984.

Black Panda

2012-01-10T15:27:00.002+02:00

Black Panda is born as a fun project between members from bands such as Nashgul, Madame Germen, lascivos, SL’S3; five people who want to party at the rhythm of rock and roll, in a world of chaos where illegal bike races and drugs are the main attraction. The hardcore music, the heat and the power of the desert and its cactus, the pimpness and a great enthusiasm for motor and grease get together on December 2004. They begin composing songs and the dream of setting up their own car repair shop becomes true. While rehearsing, working in the car repair shop and going on with the apocalyptic weekend parties, Black Panda continues spreading their message and also recruiting members for their biker crew. You will also be part of it, when you least expect it.

The Solid Soul Disciples

2011-12-10T14:55:00.000+02:00

Solid Soul Disciples is a long distance brotherhood from the UK and Brazil comprising of Marco Butcher (guitar), Black Mekon (vocals & harmonica), his brother Black Mekon (fuzz guitar), Danny C (drums), and the Fabulous Go-Go Boy from Alabama (guitar).
After meeting and bonding thru mutual respect for each others music and visiting each others home countries several times, the Disciples decided to jigsaw an album together based on their shared love of garage, punk, blues and country music. In June 2009 they got together to play the songs live for the first time and took The Mobile Church Of The Solid Soul Disciples on the road for a legendary tour of Brasil which saw stages in flames, backlines destroyed, police raids, giant totems of the band erected and they only made it all the way thru a show without incident once!
This is not a band. This is a brotherhood.
Be baptised in dirty water!

Bantam Rooster

2011-11-12T14:09:00.001+02:00

Bantam Rooster was an American garage punk band, formed in 1994 in Lansing, Michigan. Over the years, Bantam Rooster have been a Thomas Jackson Potter (guitar/vocals) project, featuring Eric Cook, Mike Alonso & Nick Lloyd (ex-the Dirtys & ex-the Buzzards) on drums. Known for their rhythm and blues and hillbilly-influenced punk rock sound, the duo fluctuated between the all-out rock of "Dumb it Down" to the more melodic & lyrical stylings of "Perceptive Pornstar". Jim Diamond, the music producer and one-time member of the Dirtbombs along with Potter, has been dubbed as the "3rd Rooster", appearing occasionally live and producing. The group were first signed to Crypt Records in 1996, releasing Deal Me In (1997) and The Cross and the Switchblade (1999) to critical acclaim. In 2000, they moved to the revered Sympathy For The Record Industry imprint for the release of Fuck All Y’All, and received further exposure through their similar approach to their then label-mates, the White Stripes. The group disbanded in 2003 as Potter formed the funk rock band Detroit City Council. Tom Potter started his new band, the Chrome Spiders, in 2007. Potter also did time in the Dirtbombs appearing on Ultraglide In Black and Dangerous Magical Noise.

Dü Hüskers: The Twin Cities Replay Zen Arcade (1993)

2011-11-03T09:24:00.000+02:00

Imagine being handed the task of reconstructing, in whole or part, a Hüsker Dü album -- any of the seminal recordings by the band who essentially reshaped the destructive, insular contour of 1980s hardcore. Now imagine being asked to take on Zen Arcade, the grandaddy of them all -- the cyclonic double album that devoured its own influences and churned out, at an amphetamine pace, a howling raison d'être for disillusioned punks everywhere. An intimidating task, to say the least. Which is why it's so surprising that this song-for-song "replay" of the band's loosely concept-based album succeeds much more frequently than it fails. As it would've been impossible to re-create the intensity of the legendary, recorded-in-85-hours masterpiece, most of the 24 Twin Cities-based bands who appear as the Dü Hüskers wisely (and this is probably as much to the credit of executive producer Pat Whalen as the artists) avoid an attempt at mimicking the roiling, vociferous monster that is Zen Arcade, instead opting to soak up the songs in their respective MOs, thereby enabling the return of some gratifying renditions molded in their own images. Which is not to say that there aren't plenty of reverential loud/fast covers here, but the strength of the compilation lies in the diversity of the artists and their willingness to freely interpret the songs. And that, along with local writer Terri Sutton's loving and eloquent liner notes, is probably the most fitting living eulogy for the band, and it makes for one of the most well-deserved and honestly crafted tributes in a genre littered with garish throwaways.
