THE DERELLAS - Freakshow (*A REVIEW*)
The DeRellas are back! Not that they
really went away; A swift line up change and straight out of the
Punk'n'Roll Garage all fired up and onto the streets again, ready to continue the
party they started. Their new mini-album Freakshow is a sexy six
track glittery glamstastic brew. Every track is guaranteed to get
yer stack heels stomping, doc martins dancing or brothel creepers
bopping. Splatterings of Slaughter and The Dogs, lashings of The
Lurkers and heaps of The Heartbreakers and a never say die, don't give a fuck attitude adorn the bands own tunes,
while in the bottox dripping 21st Century silicon implant
obsessed world an inspired cover of Adam and The Ants Plastic Surgery
rounds it all off nicely. Top shelf stuff....These boyz just keep on
sticking it to the man! Freakshow is available here in 10” slime
green vinyl or as a Digipack CD. Highly inflammable and highly recommended!

ENEMIES OF PROMISE - Hearthland EP (*A REVIEW*)
In times of social confusion, political
upheaval and economic uncertainty we need Rock'n'Roll that matters,
and in this new error we are entering Enemies Of Promise matter, with
their lyrical snapshots of this dis united and divided Kingdom we are
living/existing in. Opening track Know Your Shame references
Julian Assenge, David Kelly The second addresses the National Health
servicing multi national drug companies Hearthland is a scathing
attack on the North South divide. and Broken burys the capital
punishment debate.
Enemies of Promise just keep getting
better and better with each release, and the Hearthland E.P is their
best yet. With dual vocals, power chords and thumping rhythms, they
sound like Carter USM meeting The Jam, but with twice the passion.
They are a force to be reckoned with; keeping the flag flying in the
face of the impending storm that is heading our way unless people
question the way the winds of change are blowing, and who the real
enemy is. Insurrection and Revolution never sounded so pure,
powerful and full of promise. Check 'em out over at their facebook page. Ignore and remain ignorant of a different future than the ones
our enemies are promising us.

OH SHIT, HERE WE GO!
Well....It's been a few months since the good people of Great Britain voted to leave the
European Union, they fell for all the bullshit and propaganda, since
then both the Labour and Conservatives had/have leadership issues
and party’s have become divided. The result of the referendum was
a democratic decision, but it has left Britain with another unelected
Prime Minister. Racial tension is growing across the globe; trigger
happy US Cops gun down Black people, Black people gun down cops.
There is a very real possibility that Donald Trump could become the
next American president, The referendum result has seen the rise of
hate crimes in Britain, thanks to the anti immigration sentiments
promoted by certain sections of the leave campaign; UKIP and Britain
First. The Austrian people elected a Right Wing president and the Le
Penn dynasty in France are always there All that is solid melts
into air as a spectre haunts Europe – the spectre of Fascism!
Another day another death,
carnage on the streets of somewhere. Terror attacks Total war
Muslims V's Christians
Independence Day,
Armageddon or Apocalypse Now! Project Fear becomes project reality,
only time will tell, but the workers, disenfranchised and the
dispossessed will still get the crumbs.... That's if we do actually
leave.
Turn a negative into a
positive? Glass ½ empty, glass ½ full, or glass smashed on the
floor?
My brain is starting to
hurt through trying to keep sane in this crazy world, where death and
destruction appear to be a daily occurrence across the globe and
nearer to home.
People stare at screens
while I write in my note book.
Anarchy in the UK....In
the days that followed the Brexit 'victory' the government were in
meltdown; there was nobody driving, and whose gonna rule when
governments fall? Not the Labour Party that's for sure, because they
were (and still are) in a mess and are a defective opposition against
an undemocraticly elected leader; Theresa May. Once again our
democracy is left wanting.
(All the above was written prior to US election result.)
The election of Donald Trump as US President is a piece in the jigsaw, a picture of a New World Order that gets it's support from people basic primal instinct; self interest and self preservation.
Playing with the pieces
means you don't see the whole picture.
Militarised Police Forces
Robo-Cop storm-troopers the defenders of the state against what it
defines as terrorism. Descent will rise as people on both sides of
the political divide get let down and lied to. “Ever get the
feeling you've been cheated” United they stand divided we fall.
They want build walls/fences instead of bridges across the divides
that they keep creating, both physical and mental.
Medicate feelings through
state prescribed drugs.
Half the Americans are in
therapy or on anti depressants, it's no wonder they voted for
President Trumpery Trump! Perhaps the right to vote wasn't such a
good idea! Universal sufferage, yeah....and universally everyone is
gonna suffer. The only thing that's gonna save the World is an
assassins bullet. Extreme? Maybe.... but a President that didn't
denounce the KKK's endorsement of him, well that just scares the shit
outta me. Still at least it's gonna give Putin someone to have a
fight with over another piece in the jigsaw....The Middle East! Then
there's the Balkans and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Or will
Trump withdraw the US military from the world, he's not keen on NATO,
is that the sound of a future European Army marching.
9/11 another piece. The
Taliban the Americans friends when they were fighting the Russians in
Afghanistan. US UK special relationship Cruise missiles and
Greenham Common. Orgrave, Battle of The Beanfield, the Poll Tax,
Criminal Justice Bill, more small pieces. Anti terror laws, stop and
search armed police 24 hour CCTV Universal coverage and all to
protect our freedom. Democracy; smoke and mirrors one person one
vote.
Brexit and Trump have been
described as “democracy in action.” Yeah right....one based on
division and deception. British Prime Minister Theresa May is
unelected by the British people! More voted against the Conservative
Party than voted for it, and more people voted for Clinton than
Trump.
In regard to Brexit,
Theresa May is refusing to let Parliament have a say and decisions as
to how it happens. High Court judges decided that they should, but
May is appealing against this ruling. A parliament that is made up
of MP's from all parties who were voted there by the people. So how
exactly is democracy in action if she doesn't believe that these MP's
who represent the people should have a say about what the people have
decided. There is an acceptance that despite the blatant lack of
truth on both sides of the in/out brigades, the immediate going back
on promises in regarding the NHS and xenophobia and right wing
rhetoric on the leavers side that Britain will leave the EU, it is
how and when this happens and what it will mean to the country that's
what our MP's need to have a say on, without that we will be living
in a Totalitarian Fascist state not a democracy.
The first foreign
politician Donald Trump meets is Nigel Farage! Where's a suicide
bomber when you need one?
If all things come in
Threes then next year will see the election of the far right leader
Marie LePenn as French President.
Emotional Fascism! Don't
tell me what and how to think. Get over it, move on don't be a sore
loser stop winging. FUCK OFF!....don’t try and deny peoples
feelings or make them feel that it's not acceptable to question the
rules of law and the results of so called democratic decisions.
Disobey all orders!
CONTINENTAL LIASION - *A REVIEW*
This review is long over due, the
passing of time in a timeless age goes too quick, better late than
never. Continental Liaison have taken the past out from the garage,
downloaded the present and constructed a solid structure of sound
from blocks of Beats'n'Riffs, it's the sound of the future; a post
industrial new technological world disorder. Continental Liaison keep on keeping on with the power of their songs, and these couple of latest ones (Action Time! and The Sublime) are no exception. Once again
Continental Liaison sound like nothing else from the underground
with their death dance disco beats, fuzzy garage guitars and semi
spoken/sung vocals. A Goth, Garage Punk, Disco Pop mash up as
infectious as the zeke virus. Check 'em out at their facebook page.
