THE DeRELLAS - Soho Hotel (Single *A REVIEW*)

‘Soho Hotel' is the new single from those Glam Punk Funsters.....THE DERELLAS. It’s available now from CDbaby. The tune tells true tales from the sexy and sleazy square mile of London Towns Soho district. A live favourite that has been given a make over, with mainman and mainstay Timmy taking over on vocals. The song is a Rock'n'Roll riot of riffs licks, hey yeahs and woa woa's, a feisty, frantic fast and furious catchy sing a long little number, rowdy, and rawkus, like the bastard sons of the Ramones and New York Dolls. It’s a teasing little taster for their new album, which the band are hoping will be out in June/July. Writing and recording is under way and it is “sounding fab" says Timmy. 

PEDALJETS - Twist The Lens (*A Review*)

For the past three decades Midwest American beat combo; The Pedaljets have been err.... pedalling their unique brand of what has been labelled 'Alternative American Rock' which means they are neither Punk, Metal or Country but somewhere in-between them all. From The Rainmakers to The Replacements, the Pedaljets are part of the rich lineage of this 'Alt Rock' thang, but there is something that sets them apart from their peers....A sharp dark atmospheric and cinematic post punk pop edge. 

 ‘Twist The Lens' is their third album, and what an aural assault on the senses it is. The listener is drawn in from the start; from the alluring and beguiling cover photo to the winey, wailing and wired opening track ‘Disassociation Blues' then there's ‘Placid City Girl', a harmony laden feel good hit for the summer pop song. ‘Loved A Stone' is a grandiose heavy guitar drone, like an upbeat Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. While ‘This Is Sepsis' is dark and claustrophobic, a screeching and scratchy 21st Century post punk psychedelic freak out. The opening acoustic strum of ‘What Only Cats Chase' gives way to a fucked up fuzzed out folky tearjerker. The title track 'Twist The Lens' is a jagged and jaunty affair.  The more full on rocking tracks of which there are several like the racey, chasey and ballsy ‘Downtown' sound like a strung out REM and The Strokes dancing with the devil at a Kansas City crossroads. 

The abstract lyrics of the songs get your head thinking and the catchy hooks and melodies get your feet tapping and the emotions hit you in the heart. This is masterful and majestic stuff, an album to immerse yourself in....sit back and let yourself soar away to the places where the music takes you with this beyond brilliant collection of twelve infectious and immense tunes. 

 Out in February on Electric Moth Records. Check out The Pedaljets on Facebook or their website thepedaljets.com 

1st POST IN 2020 IS A COLLECTION/SELECTION OF SNIPPETS/SHITBITS THAT DIDN'T GET POSTED IN 2019!

So the Conservative Government has spent the last few years fucking this country up through austerity, and now it's election time they are promising to fix it.????

How anybody can vote for this bunch of liars is beyond me.!!!!

I heard Nigel Farage talking on the radio and he was saying that he thinks "Green is Red" ie Green Politics are the same as Communism. What a C**T!

So the choice is between a Jew hating allotment loving wealth stealing Lefty and a Islamaphobic, mysoginistic and lying Tory. Who are the Great British public gonna choice? Whoever they are told to choose!

"Don't believe everything that you read in the press....Let's Kick Out The Tories" - Newtown Neurotics

So....let me get this right. In order to deliver the result of a 'Democratic Referendum' an unelected Prime Minister is using undemocratic means to make sure Britain leaves the EU, Deal or No Deal This is beyond bullshit!

Britain and its Democracy is fucked; When an unelected Prime Minister will have the power to suspend Parliament in order to deliver a No Deal Brexit to the people who voted leave in the referendum, even though No Deal wasn't on the ballot paper. Tricked and cheated by the liars, hypocrites and c**ts; The powers that we let be! Hey, Ho, Let's Go!

Hold your nerve in these trouble torn times it's the only way you're gonna survive. Capitalisms in crisis blame it on ISIS

Capitalism Kills. Two of Englands oldest football clubs Bolton and Bury are set to close due to 'financial difficulties.' The true community spirit of football started when cash became the star player in the team. The globalisation of the beautiful game has seen it become an ugly spectacle where money dribbles, tackles, shoots and scores

The largest cash transfers were the coins opposing fans threw at each other, along with fists in the lawless hooligan fueled 70's matches.

The economies fucked! The lights go out! and cows are killing the planet!
The extreme has become the norm.

We are gonna need a forest full of money trees to survive a No Deal Brexit that no one voted for, being pushed for by an unelected Prime Minister and a government who are only in power because they bought the support of the dubious DUP. Don't believe a word they say.

A few months ago our UEPM (Unelected Prime Minister) Boris Johnson said Muslim women with their faces covered looked like bank robbers and letter boxes, now he's wishing them Happy Ede.
