Le Shok	Killed by Fuck "Killed by Fuck" by "Le Shok"	We Are Electrocution	Le Shok	2000	Le Shok was formed in Long Beach during 1997 (originally under the name Shock) by Asshole Andrew (Treadwell) on guitar, Joey Juvenile (The Locust) on drums, and Hot Rod Todd on vocals. After hearing a rehearsal tape, Darryl Licht (Action League) joined the band on keyboards, and Over the Counter Rusty (Treadwell) joined as bassist. The band released four seven-inch records on various labels, and in 2000, Gold Standard Laboratories released the band's sole album, We Are Electrocution, and the band went on a nationwide tour of the United States. Following the band's break-up, members of Le Shok played in bands including Nazti Skinz, Neon King Kong, The Distraction, T-Cells, FM Bats, God's Iron Tooth, Sex Powers, Rats in the Louvre, and Dirty Girls. The band played several reunion shows in 2018.
Bugs and Rats	I Felt a Funeral In My Brain	Get That Fucking Light Out of My Face	Self Released	2011	Bugs and Rat’s formed in Quincy around January 2003 in Quincy, MA, a small city outside of Boston. According to lead vocalist and chief songwriter Shawnie Brando, Bugs and Rats played with a lot of very crappy metal bands for many years until finally finding their noisy contemporaries around 2010. Bugs and Rat’s began playing shows with groups they actually liked, finding their niche in the noise-rock inspired scene around Alston, MA. Playing many house shows with the likes of bands such as Skimask, Arvid Noe and Guerilla Toss, Bugs and Rat’s began to grow via word of mouth due to their extreme songs that were always straight to the point, their full understanding of their sound and lack of experimentation. These guys knew exactly what they wanted to play, and they were playing it....
Weird War	If You Can't Beat em' Bite 'Em	If You Can't Beat em' Bite 'Em	Drag City	2004	Weird War, briefly known as Scene Creamers, is an indie rock band based out of Washington, D.C. The current lineup consists of Ian Svenonius on vocals, Michelle Mae on bass guitar, Alex Minoff on guitar, and Sebastian Thomson on drums. Weird War was initially formed as an umbrella organization in 2001 to encompass disparate anti-authoritarian groups and to "challenge the idiocy of the new epoch." Weird War claims that they are "the sole answer to the hype-based careerism, empty formalism and vacuity which has infected what was once a genuinely creative underground rock 'n' roll scene." In comparison to their own music, Weird War often reference a cookie-cutter aesthetic of other bands and musicians as neo-conservative political forces: "Weird War see the clone nature of the revisionist groups as a direct analogue to the fascism and conformity which defines 21st century America, and their general idiocy an infiltration conspiracy by counter-intelligence forces."
Units	Cannibals "Cannibals" by "Units"	History Of The Units - The Early Years: 1977-1983	Community Library	2009	Units were an American synthpunk band that was founded in San Francisco in 1978. It was active until 1984. They were one of America's earliest electronic new wave bands, and have been cited as pioneers of synthpunk, also retrospectively known as "electropunk". The Units were notable for their use of synthesizers in place of guitars, and multimedia performances featuring multiple projections of satirical, instructional films critical of conformity and consumerism. The Units also opened for such bands as Soft Cell, Gary Numan, Ultravox, XTC, Bow Wow Wow, the Psychedelic Furs, the Police, Iggy Pop, Dead Kennedys, Sparks and toured the United States with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Songs written by The Units have been covered or remixed by over 50 international DJs, producers and bands from 13 different countries.
Beaks	Bite Me "Bite Me" by "Beaks"	Bite Me Single	sumoclic	2024	After garnering global attention with her debut EP ‘Crosswalk EP’ last year, Vienna-based artist Beaks delivers plenty of grit and drive within her brand new single ‘Bite Me’, a guitar-led offering filled with plenty of distortion and rebelliousness throughout its swift duration. ‘Bite Me’ injects plenty of attitude and strength into the core of the release, with the buzzing guitar riff acting as a catalyst amongst the brittle percussion that sets the perfect scene for those laid-back vocals to take centre stage and play off of the guitar riff for a formidable partnership.	*
Trin Tran	No Thanks, OK "No Thanks, OK" by "Trin Tran"	Dark Radar	Drag City	2012	This is some vintage one-man robot punk shit, but it all trails back into the early days, when punk kids were unearthing old synths and working them into the noise. It's this robot-punk stuff that still sounds fresh, razor-sharp and ready to go, whether it's going forward into the past or back to the future! Culled from CD-R only releases and a split release with the Coachwhips back in 2000, Dark Radar is a sound you didn't know you were waiting for. But you were.
POW!	Eyesight "Eyesight" by "POW!"	Fight Fire	Castle Face	2015	San Francisco's POW! is rechromed and ready to soundtrack your dystopian near future. Harsh neon synths keep battle with zipline guitars for space above a dark and teeming cityscape. Your guide is always in the shadows, you can’t make out his face but you hear his crazed diatribe as he wards off all affronts. The songs are at their core razor sharp punk, but are fleshed out with inventive and catchy synth work - and the floating bits of atmospheric expansion between tracks only serve to heighten the paranoid atmosphere. These tunes have a sci-fi depth, a moody bite, and a startling clarity sharpened to a point by the wizard hand of Chris Woodhouse, who helmed the magnetization. Recommended listening for future-punk teens and grown adults alike.

The Fall	I've Seen Them Come "I've Seen Them Come" by "The Fall"	Ersatz GB	Cherry Red Records	2011	From "The Story Of The Fall Website [The original Story Of The Fall website has now been updated and converted into a book - 40 Odd Years Of The Fall - with illustrations for each year by Greg Moodie and a foreword by Aidan Moffat.]" -- "Falling about on a drumkit start. Single guitar pattern before inevitable onslaught. The expectation of development is frustrating, but could prove to be addictive in time if only the playing wasn't so undemanding. Band members sing competently before MES barges in listing places he's been to and making rhythmical word noises. Again, subtle keyboard floating around in the background is the best bit. Beligerently outstays its welcome." //// From the Annotated Fall website -- "In form, this is a bragging been-around-the-block number in the mold of Bo Diddley's "I've Seen Them All," Merle Haggard's "I've Done it All," or "I've Been Everywhere," which was written by Geoff Mack and made popular by Lucky Starr, Hank Snow, and Johnny Cash. I'm not 100% confident that every one is a real place, and I'm not going to check, although my readers will, for which I thank them in advance..."
The Cravats	Shy "Shy" by "The Cravats"	Hoorahland	Overground Records	2020	"After 43 years, Hoorahland is The Cravats totally in control of where they want to be sonically. A polished progression from 2017's critically-acclaimed Dustbin of Sound album. //// Twelve Carollian compositions chronicling the view from Shend's brain laid like a sumptuous set of doilies upon the sax-riddled, bass-laden engine that Biscuits, 91, Garstang and Naan have whittled. //// It's an intricate Dada Vinci design for the dysfunctional dodgems in which we nervously perch as they bounce off the buffers and each other while we fumble frantically for the imaginary steering wheel. //// Without employing too many cliched Theme Park music metaphors such as 'white knuckle roller coaster ride' and 'spinning teacups of terror' what do we get? //// Apart from last year's single 'Shy' and 'Good For You' which were championed on the wireless by Gideon Coe, Marc Riley and Henry Rollins amongst others, there are ten other opuses covering everything from the lack of god, Austin Allegros and granny's faded jeans to tight fitting jar lids, grouted portholes in Cartel submersibles and Bryan May's shirt."" https://thecravats.bandcamp.com/
Roy Orbison, Spankox	Oh, Pretty Woman (Spankox Remix)		Everness / Kobalt / Sony / ATV	2016	Spankox is Agostino Caroll, an Italian composer, producer and DJ, born in Rovereto. He writes that this track is: "My tribute to Roy. Made in cooperation with the Roy Orbison Estate. Thank you very much to Barbara Orbison. R.I.P." ---- "Ago Carollo, better known by his stage name Spankox, is a Grammy Nominated DJ/producer from Italy. He’s the creator of many dance hits that reached the top of the international charts: one of these is the iconic track To The Club featuring the legendary refrain “Monday night to the club, Tuesday night to the club, Wednesday night what a headache but I went to the club…”.

Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds	A Beast, A Priest	That Delicious Vice	In The Red	2024	One of two songs written by Alice Bag, who adds vocals to half this album. As for Kid Congo: "Brian Tristan (born March 27, 1959), better known by his stage name Kid Congo Powers, is an American rock guitarist, singer, and actor best known as a member of The Gun Club, the Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He has also played with the Divine Horsemen, the Angels of Light, Die Haut, and Knoxville Girls. //// As of January 2015, Powers' primary musical project is the band The Pink Monkey Birds." //// Re: this album & how he came to work w/ Alice Bag, formerly of The Bags: "The album’s major hallmark has to be its extended collaboration with Alice Bag, the face of and voice of early L.A. punk titans The Bags. How and why these two took this long to unite creatively is a dense mystery, considering both graduated with honors from early Hollywood punk palace The Masque, and their photos had to have stared at one another from opposite pages of a few issues of Slash or fLiPSiDe. “Yeah, we were around that ground zero, that tight circle of friends,” chuckles Kid, “But there was a lot of cliquiness going on, even though the scene was so small. Everyone knew each other, but I was more with The Screamers and she was more with The Bags and the punk thing. You know, I was more arty farty!” //// “We go back a long time,” enthuses Alice. “When I was doing my book tour, Kid called me and I hadn’t heard from him in ages! And he’s like, ‘You’re coming to DC! If you need me for anything, I’m gonna make some noise with you — I’m in!’ It always amazes me how deep those early friendships go. You can not speak to somebody for years and years, but if you have punk rock in common, you’re my sister or brother forever. So he came out and he played with me at one of my early readings in D.C. And then, every now and then I’d see Pink Monkey Birds, but just randomly. Because he was living on the East Coast and I was living on the West Coast, we didn’t see each other very often and fell out of touch again.” //// Next thing either party knows, they’re both In The Red labelmates, with the release of Alice’s third solo LP, Sister Dynamite. Following that, the producers of the Peacock comedy television series The Resort reached out to label head Larry Hardy to inquire if either Kid or Alice would be interested in composing a Spanish song for the show. “It was actually Alice who said, ‘Well, why don’t you just get us together and we’ll do it?’” says Kid. “And they went for it. So we wrote a cheesy lounge act song, which is of course much better than any cheesy lounge act.” //// “We recorded it,” adds Alice. “Then we did these cameos on this show, playing our song. They flew us out to Puerto Rico for a few days. It was just a really fun experience. It’s really fun getting to hang out with Kid, and the process of writing a song with him was very enjoyable, even though I was living in Mexico City and he was in Tucson by then — we were still working remotely. But we just clicked. I’d send him a recording, and then he’d add to it. and send something back. We both were very open to each person’s own brand of quirkiness.”	*
Music behind DJ: The Chemical Brothers	Das Spiegel	We Are The Night	Freestyle Dust / Virgin / Astralwerks	2007	"We Are the Night is the sixth studio album by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers, released on 2 July 2007..." //// "“Das Spiegel” [is a] dance track in the old-school mold, albeit with crucial differences. The melodic bric-a-brac adds up to something much greater than the sum of its parts: there’s a melodica line that brings to mind past Chems collaborators the Magic Numbers, and the joyful baby giggles and funny synth shrieks seem to concoct a much more light-hearted and soothingly placid atmosphere than we one would usually expect from stomping house track."
Six Finger Satellite	Laughing Larry	The Pigeon is the Most Popular Bird	Sub Pop	1993	Six Finger Satellite (a.k.a. 6FS) is an American rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. Described by former member John MacLean as "a post-punk band utilizing dance music elements", Six Finger Satellite's eclectic sound is driven synthesizers as well as more traditional rock instrumentation. Six Finger Satellite attracted a significant underground following during the 1990s, and are today recognized for their somewhat prophetic fusion of electronic and post-punk music. In 2005, Jonathan Galkin remarked that "if a band came out today that sounded like Paranormalized, they'd be signed to a huge record deal, sight unseen." They are to many, the grandaddies of the NYC early 2000's discopunk/postpunk revival...John MacLean has since recorded as The Juan Maclean and Rick Pelletier played in The Chinese Stars and plays in an ongoing dub-esque project called La Machine. James Murphy has gone on to form LCD Soundsystem and DFA Records.
Algebra Mothers	Strawberry Cheesecake	Strawberry Cheesecake 7"	Aftertaste Record	1979	Punk / New Wave band from Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Algebra Mothers/A-Moms were formed by four like-minded misfits/artists/musicians/friends (Gerald Collins, Ralph Valdez, Diana Balton and Kirsten Rogoff) from Detroit’s Cass Tech High School. They made their professional debut in 1977 and in 1979 they released the weirdly incredible Strawberry Cheesecake b/w Modern Noise 7” on their own Aftertaste Records (Now re-issued by TMR). They played around Detroit and the country with everyone from Destroy All Monsters and Sonic’s Rendezvous Band to Pere Ubu until 1984.
The Prof.Fuzz 63	When the Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts	Cinnamon Sea LP	PF63	2023	For casual listeners of the punk rock genre, The Prof. Fuzz 63 is probably not what you would expect a punk band to sound like. Sounding somewhere between bands like X and The B-52’s, with the vocal style of an upbeat Lou Reed, The Prof. Fuzz creates static-y, psychedelic dance-punk built around tongue-in-cheek lyrics that you won’t be able to resist singing along to. The Prof. Fuzz 63 is a family band born out of Mike Farmer’s love of playing music heavy on the fuzz pedal....when other OG members quite, Mike did the wise thing and recruited his wife to play keyboards and his son for drum kit duties. The result? Cheeky, fun, loose and dirty garage rock for the thinking person. "When Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts: A song about dangerous toys, now illegal and no longer flying through the air. Not a song about other objects that are dangerous but somehow still legal. I swear."
The Endtables	Process of Elimination	Process of Elimination 7"	Tuesday Records	1979	Formed in Louisville in 1978, the Endtables lasted less that two years, releasing just one four-song EP while together. The Endtables compiles that EP, a posthumous two-song single, and six live tracks, painting a quick, sharp portrait of a band that sounded like they were in a hurry. Chugging along at a palpitating clip, the group flies toward the sun of the Buzzcocks and Gang of Four, but something about their hyper energy makes them a little more off-kilter than those groups. Like a sonic game of Jenga, their tunes feel like they could spill into unruly cacophony at the slightest nudge.
The Causey Way	Science Made Me A Homo (Sapien)	Wwcd	Put It On A Cracker	1998	The Causey Way was an American punk/new wave group formed in 1997. The underlying theme was that of a cult operating as a band (with T-shirts coyly stating "The Causey Way Is Not A Cult"). The live shows were energetic and in the style of revivalist evangelism. Members of the band were: Causey (Scott Stanton), The Button (Bill Bryson), Dr. St.Causey (Tracy Cox-Stanton), Boy Causey (Brian Teasley), The Truth (Ane Diaz), Rain Causey (Rain Phoenix), Summer Causey (Summer Phoenix), Red Causey, Tex Causey (Josh Barry), Causey 3:16 (Colin English) With releases on Fueled By Ramen and Alternative Tentacles. The Causey Way was the philosophy of Causey, the actual band was referred to as the ACE, (Aural Communications and Entertainment) and a division of the Causey Way as a whole. The ACE was the main entertainment at the Causey Compound which was where those that follow the Causey Way resided. The Causey Way disbanded in 2001, claiming that Causey had been institutionalized and The Truth had converted to Scientology.
Digital Leather	Hologram "Hologram" by "Digital Leather"	Sorcerer	Goner	2009	Digital Leather is the musical project led by multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree. It is recognized for having characteristics of electropunk, new wave, pop, lo-fi, and psychedelic music. Originally from Yuma, Arizona, Foree began calling his project "Digital Leather" when he moved to Tucson, where he studied American literature at the University of Arizona. He used student loan money to buy equipment. He managed to release his first three albums after recording them in his bedroom on labels such as Tic Tac Totally, Jay Reatard's Shattered Records imprint, and FDH Records. He supported this "bedroom project"with several nationwide and European tours. Sorcerer, released on Goner Records in 2008, is a half-live, half-studio record. Digital Leather is still releasing music, the most recent being the album "Tales From the King" in 2022
Black Moth Super Rainbow	Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Shine	Eating Us	Rad Cult	2009	Black Moth Super Rainbow (occasionally abbreviated as BMSR) is an American psychedelic electronic indie rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. BMSR is a solo music project created by Thomas Fec, who is also known as Tobacco. Fec writes, records, and produces the work of BMSR independently. As a live performance it features members Tobacco whose vocals are altered via a vocoder, synth players The Seven Fields of Aphelion and Pony Diver, drummer Iffernaut, and bassist STV SLV. "Deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees."
Music behind DJ: Ramsey Lewis Trio	Why Don't You Do Right	Bach to the Blues	Argo	1964
Flat Worms	Letters From The Outpost	Letters From the Outpost / Diver	GOD?	2024	"Fresh off last year’s exceptional Witness Marks LP, Flat Worms boomerang back with a two-song digi-single recorded at Harmonizer Studio and mastered by Mikey Young. Raising the stakes on their evolving song style (global-collapse fabulism writ with dry ink-black humor), their thrusting, surging post-punk style produces an increasingly cinematic evocation of resignation and perseverance, set against an endless landscape of scorched earth. //// “Letters From the Outpost” is delivered with Flat Worms’ signature seizure-inducing chalk + nails guitar and deceptively blunt-force song style, drawing comparison to ancestral forbears such as Mission of Burma, Joy Division and The Fall; all of them were long ago injected into the fetal DNA of the band’s exuberant slash and grind. The flip, “Diver” opens with a spine-churning progression, bleak and funereal, above which flies a fanfare of guitar leads entwined, blowing ragged but valiant in the fitful wind. Shifting speeds (in hopes of divining an escape route?), Flat Worms’ mordant lyric visions and gaspingly caustic guitar tone lead us instead though a mini-epic of Kafka-esque seaside survivalist horror. Essential gleaning!" https://flatwormsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*
Nikki Sudden	Channel Steamer "Channel Steamer" by "Nikki Sudden"	Waiting On Egypt	Abstract Records / Secret Canadian / Numero / Easy Action / Troubadour Records	1982	A song from Nikki Sudden's first post-Swell Maps (solo) album "Waiting On Egypt", released in 1982. It was also the single from that album, released in April of that year. This song recorded at Starforce in Battersea, 17th August 1981. ////////// "Adrian Nicholas Godfrey (19 July 1956 – 26 March 2006), known professionally as Nikki Sudden, was a prolific English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He co-founded the post-punk band Swell Maps with his brother, Epic Soundtracks, while attending Solihull School in Solihull." //////////// "Contributor: Andrew Shields: 'Few artists have worn their influences (which included Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Faces, T. Rex, Can, New York Dolls and especially Johnny Thunders) as much on their sleeve as did Nikki Sudden. At the same time, there were only a handful of artists who had as utterly distinctive a style as he had. Partly, this was because of the unique quality of Nikki’s voice; no one has ever sung in quite the same way. His music was also remarkable for its combination of differing styles, all held together by an over-arching world view which was very much his own. //// As John C. Barry, his bandmate from his final backing band the Last Bandits put it, his imagination was filled with “the deep palate of unbelievable and fantastic Bible stories; the ‘short but sweet’ life of a pirate in the seventeen-hundreds, Napoleon and Wellington, Midget Submarines and Jane in Europe … [and] the Rock & Roll excesses of the Stones and T. Rex in the nineteen-seventies.” Other Sudden favourites were the Biggles books and the TV series, Stingray and Thunderbirds. It was from the latter that the name of his first band, Swell Maps, formed with his brother Epic Soundtracks, was derived. //// Sudden was born Adrian Godfrey in 1956. He spent his early years in Croydon, but the family moved to Solihull in the English midlands when he was 8 years old. Along with his brother, Kevin (aka Epic Soundtracks), his first major musical enthusiasm was for T. Rex. Indeed, he remained a staunch Marc Bolan fan throughout his life. After going through a number of short-lived bands, the brothers eventually founded Swell Maps with other local musicians including Jowe Head, Richard Earl (aka Biggles Books), David Barrington (aka Phones Sportsman) and John Cockrill. Although they were founded before punk, the Maps have often – probably rightly – been described as being a ‘post-punk’ band. In a sense, this reflects the eclecticism of the group’s musical influences and Sudden’s own ambivalence about the punk movement in general. Although he admired several of the groups involved and was influenced by its ‘back to basics’ approach, he was far too much of a rock traditionalist ever to fully embrace it. For anyone who wants to find out more about Swell Maps’ history, I recommend Rick Leach’s excellent Toppermost. //// After the demise of Swell Maps in 1980, Sudden embarked on a solo career. Waiting On Egypt, his first solo album, was released two years later in 1982.'"
Epic Soundtracks	Downbound Train (Early 1980's Home Recording)	Wild Smile	Easy Action / Troubadour	1980 / 2012	Original written by Chuck Berry. -- An early solo track by Epic Soundtracks, née Kevin Paul Godfrey. He was the British musician and brother of Nikki Sudden. He was born 23 March 1959 in the UK and died of unknown causes 5 November 1997 in London, England, UK. Artistic name is a tribute to label Epic and album Soundtracks by Can. //// "Epic sings here though Nikki Sudden provided vocals for the same track then re-titled "Rundown Tube" which appeared on Swell Maps 1986 retrospective "Train Out Of It"." //// I love the original version of this song, and this update of it is certainly no slouch, either. Both the original & this cover are dark, intense & unrelenting from start to finish. Fantastic. From a rarities comp. that came out long after Epic Sountracks had passed away. ["Epic Soundtracks was the stage name of the British musician Kevin Paul Godfrey (23 March 1959 – 6 November 1997)."]
Swell Maps	Spitfire Parade "Spitfire Parade" by "Swell Maps"	A Trip To Marineville	Rather / Rough Trade / Secretly Canadian	1979 / 2012	From Swell Maps' debut 1979 album "A Trip To Marineville". About the band: "English post-punk group, formed in 1972 in Birmingham, England, UK by brothers Kevin Godfrey (aka Epic Soundtracks) and Adrian Godfrey (aka Nikki Sudden). The lineup was completed with Richard Earl (aka Biggles Books), David Barrington (aka Phones B. Sportsman), John Cockrill (aka Golden Cockrill) and Stephen Bird (aka Jowe Head). After releasing two albums and four singles they disbanded in 1980." //// "A Trip to Marineville is the debut studio album by English art punk band Swell Maps. It was released in June 1979, through record labels Rather and Rough Trade. //// All tracks except "Vertical Slum", "My Lil' Shoppes 'Round the Corner" and "Steven Does" were recorded in Woodbine Mobile Recording Studio in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England on 28–29 December 1978, 15 and 17 February 1979 and 15–17 April 1979."
Oneida	Gunboats "Gunboats" by "Oneida"	Expensive Air	Joyful Noise Recordings	2024	From Oneida's 17th album, released July 19, 2024. Excellent when favs. Oneida & Swell Maps crossover, the one re-invigorated & the other long defunct, but both deserve much more attention in the world at large. //// "Oneida’s previous album, Success, came after a four-year hiatus, unleashing the band’s pent up creative energy in a set of catchy, accessible, nearly poppy songs. Song structure remained important in the run up towards Expensive Air, but so was the instinctual, improvisatory interplay that has always been a part of Oneida’s process. The band had been playing live together for two years, sharpening its attack and pushing its songs to go harder, faster and wilder. //// Oneida recorded Expensive Air in three sessions scattered across 2023, convening at Colin Marston’s Menegroth The Thousand Caves studio in Woodhaven, Queens, whenever they had a few songs ready. Marston and the band mixed the album in February 2024 at Menegroth. //// The new album expands on what Oneida achieved with Success, but also pushes past it, laying down irresistible song structures then blowing them to psychedelic bits. “I found myself thinking about this record as a darker, looser, louder, counterpart to Success,” Bobby explains. “Both records charge forward from the jump and mix the elliptical with the blunt, and longing with self-mockery. But Success is like laughing in a car gunning carelessly through an ice storm, and Expensive Air is how you laugh at yourself as the car spins into the ditch, or a tree. Same trip, but a little closer to the bone.” //// From a review, re: this cover version... "At the other end much comes into focus as we reach the final tune ‘Gunboats’, which is a Swell Maps cover. The play it pretty faithfully too. //// "Much eulogised as a cult band it still sometimes feels as if the Maps have only partly been given their due, regarded mistakenly as some sort of rock ‘n’ roll savants, as if Nikki Sudden’s songs bubbled to the surface accidentally amid chaos and general dicking about. This is only partly true. ‘Gunboats’ is from their debut A Trip To Marineville an album which opens with the chanted chorus “Do you believe in art?” Of course Oneida would love the Swell Maps, fellow adopters of comical stage names, serious but playful, lo-fi surveyors of uncharted territories, discoverers of hidden back routes connecting rock ‘n’ roll through krautrock and musique concrète to punk, bedroom diviners of the lightning that hits the bottle." /////////////// Oneida is: Kid Millions / Bobby Matador / Hanoi Jane / Barry London / Shahin Motia // Extra vocals on this track (Gunboats) by Sarah Richardson. (Wonderful to hear her vocals again!) Produced by Oneida// Mixed by Colin Marston, and Tom Tierney on Gunboats // Mastered by Alan Douches" ----////---- https://oneida.bandcamp.com	*
Jowe Head	Godstar Reprise (Vocal: Lori Stott)	The Other Side Of The Forest	Glass Modern	2024	Cover of Psychic TV by former Swell Map, from a soundtrack released May 3, 2024. About the project/album: "Original Music Soundtrack by Jowe Head from the film by Grant McPhee. //// Renowned Scottish film director, Grant McPhee (“Big Gold Dream”, “Teenage Superstars”, “Far From The Apple Tree”) has finished his next film, a “fantasy Pop-Art Fairytale”, starring Lori Stott (BBC’s The Demon Headmaster) and Ashley Sutherland (Night Kaleidoscope). It is the story of a shy young woman seeking her fame in the dark world of the 1960s folk-music underground. Lori’s journey to stardom takes her on an adventure far beyond the music world she is trying to break into, and instead she travels far beyond her reality to a forgotten past of rural landscapes, magic, myth, dead Gods and mysterious fallen angels.” //// Grant commissioned musician Jowe Head, from the UK underground rock scene, to compose and record music for this film. Jowe is mainly known for his work with Swell Maps and Television Personalities. //// Jowe produced several pieces for this soundtrack, combining a variety of acoustic and electronic sounds. He played a range of curious medieval and primitive instruments: a mandocello, harmonium, bowed psaltery, double-bass, and home-made percussion, blended with analogue synthesiser, theremin, and treated guitar. //// The resulting music is somewhat eerie, and rather psychedelic, in keeping with the film’s location and content. //// Jowe also provided backing arrangements for songs performed by Lori, who sings at various stages during the course of the film. These include versions of “God Star”, “As Tears Go By”, “Since Yesterday”, “Sunday Morning”, “Tous Les Garçons”, (originally recorded by Psychic TV, Marianne Faithful, Strawberry Switchblade, Velvet Underground, Françoise Hardy)." https://glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/the-other-side-of-the-forest	*
Liars	Rose And Licorice "Rose And Licorice" by "Liars"	Oneida / Liars – Atheists, Reconsider	Arena Rock Recording Company (ARRCO)	2002	Liars cover Oneida on a split EP with said band. (They returned the favour.) The Liars songs were produced by David Sitek of 'TV on the Radio'. //// "Split releases often tend toward the lackluster -- whether LP, EP, or single -- because although it may seem like a good way to put out two bands' material when each group doesn't have enough to sustain a full-length, it's more likely they just had leftover tracks that never needed to see the light of day at all. Not true with the 2002 split EP by Brooklyn sister bands Oneida and Liars called Atheists, Reconsider, where both bands contribute three tracks, two of their own and the third being a cover of one of the other band's songs. These two units have less in common in style than in ethos, as both are uncompromisingly artistic and sonically ballistic. Liars are known for their conceptualist tendencies and arty no wave revivalism, where Oneida meld the driving propulsion of Krautrock with the bombast and pretension of '70s hard rock... The symbiotic relationship between these two outfits makes this EP a coherent whole, and it easily ranks among both bands' best releases."
Music behind DJ: Möthersky	Secret Island "Secret Island" by "Möthersky"	Swell Maps: Deconstructed Reconstructed	Industrial Coast	2022	A cover of a song from Swell Maps' second & last official studio album, 1980's "Swell Maps – ....In "Jane From Occupied Europe"" //// "Möthersky is an experimental post-punk duo based in NYC. Originally conceived as the all instrumental solo project of visual artist Richard Vergez, Möthersky has expanded to include South African vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Xander Hing. //// Möthersky explores repetitive patterns, reverberation, dark atmospherics, post-industrial noise, and Krautrock-induced psychedelia veiled in pop structure" "The return of Deconstructed//Reconstructed ///////// Swell Maps//Post Punk Modernism //////// An eclectic tribute to the wonderous Swell Maps. ///////// "Of all the bands to have emerged in the wake of punk, Swell Maps were always the odd ones out.

Ocean Waves For Sleep	Ocean Waves for Sleep	Ocean Waves	Ocean and Air	2010
Le Shok	Killed by Fuck "Killed by Fuck" by "Le Shok"	We Are Electrocution	Le Shok	2000	Le Shok was formed in Long Beach during 1997 (originally under the name Shock) by Asshole Andrew (Treadwell) on guitar, Joey Juvenile (The Locust) on drums, and Hot Rod Todd on vocals. After hearing a rehearsal tape, Darryl Licht (Action League) joined the band on keyboards, and Over the Counter Rusty (Treadwell) joined as bassist. The band released four seven-inch records on various labels, and in 2000, Gold Standard Laboratories released the band's sole album, We Are Electrocution, and the band went on a nationwide tour of the United States. Following the band's break-up, members of Le Shok played in bands including Nazti Skinz, Neon King Kong, The Distraction, T-Cells, FM Bats, God's Iron Tooth, Sex Powers, Rats in the Louvre, and Dirty Girls. The band played several reunion shows in 2018.
Bugs and Rats	I Felt a Funeral In My Brain	Get That Fucking Light Out of My Face	Self Released	2011	Bugs and Rat’s formed in Quincy around January 2003 in Quincy, MA, a small city outside of Boston. According to lead vocalist and chief songwriter Shawnie Brando, Bugs and Rats played with a lot of very crappy metal bands for many years until finally finding their noisy contemporaries around 2010. Bugs and Rat’s began playing shows with groups they actually liked, finding their niche in the noise-rock inspired scene around Alston, MA. Playing many house shows with the likes of bands such as Skimask, Arvid Noe and Guerilla Toss, Bugs and Rat’s began to grow via word of mouth due to their extreme songs that were always straight to the point, their full understanding of their sound and lack of experimentation. These guys knew exactly what they wanted to play, and they were playing it....
Weird War	If You Can't Beat em' Bite 'Em	If You Can't Beat em' Bite 'Em	Drag City	2004	Weird War, briefly known as Scene Creamers, is an indie rock band based out of Washington, D.C. The current lineup consists of Ian Svenonius on vocals, Michelle Mae on bass guitar, Alex Minoff on guitar, and Sebastian Thomson on drums. Weird War was initially formed as an umbrella organization in 2001 to encompass disparate anti-authoritarian groups and to "challenge the idiocy of the new epoch." Weird War claims that they are "the sole answer to the hype-based careerism, empty formalism and vacuity which has infected what was once a genuinely creative underground rock 'n' roll scene." In comparison to their own music, Weird War often reference a cookie-cutter aesthetic of other bands and musicians as neo-conservative political forces: "Weird War see the clone nature of the revisionist groups as a direct analogue to the fascism and conformity which defines 21st century America, and their general idiocy an infiltration conspiracy by counter-intelligence forces."
Units	Cannibals "Cannibals" by "Units"	History Of The Units - The Early Years: 1977-1983	Community Library	2009	Units were an American synthpunk band that was founded in San Francisco in 1978. It was active until 1984. They were one of America's earliest electronic new wave bands, and have been cited as pioneers of synthpunk, also retrospectively known as "electropunk". The Units were notable for their use of synthesizers in place of guitars, and multimedia performances featuring multiple projections of satirical, instructional films critical of conformity and consumerism. The Units also opened for such bands as Soft Cell, Gary Numan, Ultravox, XTC, Bow Wow Wow, the Psychedelic Furs, the Police, Iggy Pop, Dead Kennedys, Sparks and toured the United States with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Songs written by The Units have been covered or remixed by over 50 international DJs, producers and bands from 13 different countries.
Beaks	Bite Me "Bite Me" by "Beaks"	Bite Me Single	sumoclic	2024	After garnering global attention with her debut EP ‘Crosswalk EP’ last year, Vienna-based artist Beaks delivers plenty of grit and drive within her brand new single ‘Bite Me’, a guitar-led offering filled with plenty of distortion and rebelliousness throughout its swift duration. ‘Bite Me’ injects plenty of attitude and strength into the core of the release, with the buzzing guitar riff acting as a catalyst amongst the brittle percussion that sets the perfect scene for those laid-back vocals to take centre stage and play off of the guitar riff for a formidable partnership.	*
Trin Tran	No Thanks, OK "No Thanks, OK" by "Trin Tran"	Dark Radar	Drag City	2012	This is some vintage one-man robot punk shit, but it all trails back into the early days, when punk kids were unearthing old synths and working them into the noise. It's this robot-punk stuff that still sounds fresh, razor-sharp and ready to go, whether it's going forward into the past or back to the future! Culled from CD-R only releases and a split release with the Coachwhips back in 2000, Dark Radar is a sound you didn't know you were waiting for. But you were.
POW!	Eyesight "Eyesight" by "POW!"	Fight Fire	Castle Face	2015	San Francisco's POW! is rechromed and ready to soundtrack your dystopian near future. Harsh neon synths keep battle with zipline guitars for space above a dark and teeming cityscape. Your guide is always in the shadows, you can’t make out his face but you hear his crazed diatribe as he wards off all affronts. The songs are at their core razor sharp punk, but are fleshed out with inventive and catchy synth work - and the floating bits of atmospheric expansion between tracks only serve to heighten the paranoid atmosphere. These tunes have a sci-fi depth, a moody bite, and a startling clarity sharpened to a point by the wizard hand of Chris Woodhouse, who helmed the magnetization. Recommended listening for future-punk teens and grown adults alike.

The Fall	I've Seen Them Come "I've Seen Them Come" by "The Fall"	Ersatz GB	Cherry Red Records	2011	From "The Story Of The Fall Website [The original Story Of The Fall website has now been updated and converted into a book - 40 Odd Years Of The Fall - with illustrations for each year by Greg Moodie and a foreword by Aidan Moffat.]" -- "Falling about on a drumkit start. Single guitar pattern before inevitable onslaught. The expectation of development is frustrating, but could prove to be addictive in time if only the playing wasn't so undemanding. Band members sing competently before MES barges in listing places he's been to and making rhythmical word noises. Again, subtle keyboard floating around in the background is the best bit. Beligerently outstays its welcome." //// From the Annotated Fall website -- "In form, this is a bragging been-around-the-block number in the mold of Bo Diddley's "I've Seen Them All," Merle Haggard's "I've Done it All," or "I've Been Everywhere," which was written by Geoff Mack and made popular by Lucky Starr, Hank Snow, and Johnny Cash. I'm not 100% confident that every one is a real place, and I'm not going to check, although my readers will, for which I thank them in advance..."
The Cravats	Shy "Shy" by "The Cravats"	Hoorahland	Overground Records	2020	"After 43 years, Hoorahland is The Cravats totally in control of where they want to be sonically. A polished progression from 2017's critically-acclaimed Dustbin of Sound album. //// Twelve Carollian compositions chronicling the view from Shend's brain laid like a sumptuous set of doilies upon the sax-riddled, bass-laden engine that Biscuits, 91, Garstang and Naan have whittled. //// It's an intricate Dada Vinci design for the dysfunctional dodgems in which we nervously perch as they bounce off the buffers and each other while we fumble frantically for the imaginary steering wheel. //// Without employing too many cliched Theme Park music metaphors such as 'white knuckle roller coaster ride' and 'spinning teacups of terror' what do we get? //// Apart from last year's single 'Shy' and 'Good For You' which were championed on the wireless by Gideon Coe, Marc Riley and Henry Rollins amongst others, there are ten other opuses covering everything from the lack of god, Austin Allegros and granny's faded jeans to tight fitting jar lids, grouted portholes in Cartel submersibles and Bryan May's shirt."" https://thecravats.bandcamp.com/
Roy Orbison, Spankox	Oh, Pretty Woman (Spankox Remix)		Everness / Kobalt / Sony / ATV	2016	Spankox is Agostino Caroll, an Italian composer, producer and DJ, born in Rovereto. He writes that this track is: "My tribute to Roy. Made in cooperation with the Roy Orbison Estate. Thank you very much to Barbara Orbison. R.I.P." ---- "Ago Carollo, better known by his stage name Spankox, is a Grammy Nominated DJ/producer from Italy. He’s the creator of many dance hits that reached the top of the international charts: one of these is the iconic track To The Club featuring the legendary refrain “Monday night to the club, Tuesday night to the club, Wednesday night what a headache but I went to the club…”. To The Club is one of the world’s most popular club and festival classics. With JXL and Paul Oakenfold, Spankox is one of the three official Elvis Presley’s remixers and the only one that was allowed by The Elvis Presley Estate to make a whole album of Elvis remixes, Elvis vs. Spankox “Re:Versions” (Sony Music). In 2017 he remixed officially the famous song Pretty Woman by the legendary Roy Orbison and the single Periscope (feat. Skylar Grey) by the American rock band Papa Roach. Spankox is also the composer of the original soundtrack, the producer and one of the actors of the cult movie Miami II Ibiza – An Electronic Dance Music Journey, starring Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Bob Sinclar, Junior Jack, Tiësto and many other world famous DJs. He’s also the owner of the record label Everness."
Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds	A Beast, A Priest	That Delicious Vice	In The Red	2024	One of two songs written by Alice Bag, who adds vocals to half this album. As for Kid Congo: "Brian Tristan (born March 27, 1959), better known by his stage name Kid Congo Powers, is an American rock guitarist, singer, and actor best known as a member of The Gun Club, the Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He has also played with the Divine Horsemen, the Angels of Light, Die Haut, and Knoxville Girls. //// As of January 2015, Powers' primary musical project is the band The Pink Monkey Birds." //// Re: this album & how he came to work w/ Alice Bag, formerly of The Bags: "The album’s major hallmark has to be its extended collaboration with Alice Bag, the face of and voice of early L.A. punk titans The Bags. How and why these two took this long to unite creatively is a dense mystery, considering both graduated with honors from early Hollywood punk palace The Masque, and their photos had to have stared at one another from opposite pages of a few issues of Slash or fLiPSiDe. “Yeah, we were around that ground zero, that tight circle of friends,” chuckles Kid, “But there was a lot of cliquiness going on, even though the scene was so small. Everyone knew each other, but I was more with The Screamers and she was more with The Bags and the punk thing. You know, I was more arty farty!” //// “We go back a long time,” enthuses Alice. “When I was doing my book tour, Kid called me and I hadn’t heard from him in ages! And he’s like, ‘You’re coming to DC! If you need me for anything, I’m gonna make some noise with you — I’m in!’ It always amazes me how deep those early friendships go. You can not speak to somebody for years and years, but if you have punk rock in common, you’re my sister or brother forever. So he came out and he played with me at one of my early readings in D.C. And then, every now and then I’d see Pink Monkey Birds, but just randomly. Because he was living on the East Coast and I was living on the West Coast, we didn’t see each other very often and fell out of touch again.” //// Next thing either party knows, they’re both In The Red labelmates, with the release of Alice’s third solo LP, Sister Dynamite. Following that, the producers of the Peacock comedy television series The Resort reached out to label head Larry Hardy to inquire if either Kid or Alice would be interested in composing a Spanish song for the show. “It was actually Alice who said, ‘Well, why don’t you just get us together and we’ll do it?’” says Kid. “And they went for it. So we wrote a cheesy lounge act song, which is of course much better than any cheesy lounge act.” //// “We recorded it,” adds Alice. “Then we did these cameos on this show, playing our song. They flew us out to Puerto Rico for a few days. It was just a really fun experience. It’s really fun getting to hang out with Kid, and the process of writing a song with him was very enjoyable, even though I was living in Mexico City and he was in Tucson by then — we were still working remotely. But we just clicked. I’d send him a recording, and then he’d add to it. and send something back. We both were very open to each person’s own brand of quirkiness.”	*
Music behind DJ: The Chemical Brothers	Das Spiegel	We Are The Night	Freestyle Dust / Virgin / Astralwerks	2007	"We Are the Night is the sixth studio album by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers, released on 2 July 2007..." //// "“Das Spiegel” [is a] dance track in the old-school mold, albeit with crucial differences. The melodic bric-a-brac adds up to something much greater than the sum of its parts: there’s a melodica line that brings to mind past Chems collaborators the Magic Numbers, and the joyful baby giggles and funny synth shrieks seem to concoct a much more light-hearted and soothingly placid atmosphere than we one would usually expect from stomping house track."
Six Finger Satellite	Laughing Larry	The Pigeon is the Most Popular Bird	Sub Pop	1993	Six Finger Satellite (a.k.a. 6FS) is an American rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. Described by former member John MacLean as "a post-punk band utilizing dance music elements", Six Finger Satellite's eclectic sound is driven synthesizers as well as more traditional rock instrumentation. Six Finger Satellite attracted a significant underground following during the 1990s, and are today recognized for their somewhat prophetic fusion of electronic and post-punk music. In 2005, Jonathan Galkin remarked that "if a band came out today that sounded like Paranormalized, they'd be signed to a huge record deal, sight unseen." They are to many, the grandaddies of the NYC early 2000's discopunk/postpunk revival...John MacLean has since recorded as The Juan Maclean and Rick Pelletier played in The Chinese Stars and plays in an ongoing dub-esque project called La Machine. James Murphy has gone on to form LCD Soundsystem and DFA Records.
Algebra Mothers	Strawberry Cheesecake	Strawberry Cheesecake 7"	Aftertaste Record	1979	Punk / New Wave band from Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Algebra Mothers/A-Moms were formed by four like-minded misfits/artists/musicians/friends (Gerald Collins, Ralph Valdez, Diana Balton and Kirsten Rogoff) from Detroit’s Cass Tech High School. They made their professional debut in 1977 and in 1979 they released the weirdly incredible Strawberry Cheesecake b/w Modern Noise 7” on their own Aftertaste Records (Now re-issued by TMR). They played around Detroit and the country with everyone from Destroy All Monsters and Sonic’s Rendezvous Band to Pere Ubu until 1984.
The Prof.Fuzz 63	When the Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts	Cinnamon Sea LP	PF63	2023	For casual listeners of the punk rock genre, The Prof. Fuzz 63 is probably not what you would expect a punk band to sound like. Sounding somewhere between bands like X and The B-52’s, with the vocal style of an upbeat Lou Reed, The Prof. Fuzz creates static-y, psychedelic dance-punk built around tongue-in-cheek lyrics that you won’t be able to resist singing along to. The Prof. Fuzz 63 is a family band born out of Mike Farmer’s love of playing music heavy on the fuzz pedal....when other OG members quite, Mike did the wise thing and recruited his wife to play keyboards and his son for drum kit duties. The result? Cheeky, fun, loose and dirty garage rock for the thinking person. "When Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts: A song about dangerous toys, now illegal and no longer flying through the air. Not a song about other objects that are dangerous but somehow still legal. I swear."
The Endtables	Process of Elimination	Process of Elimination 7"	Tuesday Records	1979	Formed in Louisville in 1978, the Endtables lasted less that two years, releasing just one four-song EP while together. The Endtables compiles that EP, a posthumous two-song single, and six live tracks, painting a quick, sharp portrait of a band that sounded like they were in a hurry. Chugging along at a palpitating clip, the group flies toward the sun of the Buzzcocks and Gang of Four, but something about their hyper energy makes them a little more off-kilter than those groups. Like a sonic game of Jenga, their tunes feel like they could spill into unruly cacophony at the slightest nudge.
The Causey Way	Science Made Me A Homo (Sapien)	Wwcd	Put It On A Cracker	1998	The Causey Way was an American punk/new wave group formed in 1997. The underlying theme was that of a cult operating as a band (with T-shirts coyly stating "The Causey Way Is Not A Cult"). The live shows were energetic and in the style of revivalist evangelism. Members of the band were: Causey (Scott Stanton), The Button (Bill Bryson), Dr. St.Causey (Tracy Cox-Stanton), Boy Causey (Brian Teasley), The Truth (Ane Diaz), Rain Causey (Rain Phoenix), Summer Causey (Summer Phoenix), Red Causey, Tex Causey (Josh Barry), Causey 3:16 (Colin English) With releases on Fueled By Ramen and Alternative Tentacles. The Causey Way was the philosophy of Causey, the actual band was referred to as the ACE, (Aural Communications and Entertainment) and a division of the Causey Way as a whole. The ACE was the main entertainment at the Causey Compound which was where those that follow the Causey Way resided. The Causey Way disbanded in 2001, claiming that Causey had been institutionalized and The Truth had converted to Scientology.
Digital Leather	Hologram "Hologram" by "Digital Leather"	Sorcerer	Goner	2009	Digital Leather is the musical project led by multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree. It is recognized for having characteristics of electropunk, new wave, pop, lo-fi, and psychedelic music. Originally from Yuma, Arizona, Foree began calling his project "Digital Leather" when he moved to Tucson, where he studied American literature at the University of Arizona. He used student loan money to buy equipment. He managed to release his first three albums after recording them in his bedroom on labels such as Tic Tac Totally, Jay Reatard's Shattered Records imprint, and FDH Records. He supported this "bedroom project"with several nationwide and European tours. Sorcerer, released on Goner Records in 2008, is a half-live, half-studio record. Digital Leather is still releasing music, the most recent being the album "Tales From the King" in 2022
Black Moth Super Rainbow	Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Shine	Eating Us	Rad Cult	2009	Black Moth Super Rainbow (occasionally abbreviated as BMSR) is an American psychedelic electronic indie rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. BMSR is a solo music project created by Thomas Fec, who is also known as Tobacco. Fec writes, records, and produces the work of BMSR independently. As a live performance it features members Tobacco whose vocals are altered via a vocoder, synth players The Seven Fields of Aphelion and Pony Diver, drummer Iffernaut, and bassist STV SLV. "Deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees."

Flat Worms	Letters From The Outpost	Letters From the Outpost / Diver	GOD?	2024	"Fresh off last year’s exceptional Witness Marks LP, Flat Worms boomerang back with a two-song digi-single recorded at Harmonizer Studio and mastered by Mikey Young. Raising the stakes on their evolving song style (global-collapse fabulism writ with dry ink-black humor), their thrusting, surging post-punk style produces an increasingly cinematic evocation of resignation and perseverance, set against an endless landscape of scorched earth. //// “Letters From the Outpost” is delivered with Flat Worms’ signature seizure-inducing chalk + nails guitar and deceptively blunt-force song style, drawing comparison to ancestral forbears such as Mission of Burma, Joy Division and The Fall; all of them were long ago injected into the fetal DNA of the band’s exuberant slash and grind. The flip, “Diver” opens with a spine-churning progression, bleak and funereal, above which flies a fanfare of guitar leads entwined, blowing ragged but valiant in the fitful wind. Shifting speeds (in hopes of divining an escape route?), Flat Worms’ mordant lyric visions and gaspingly caustic guitar tone lead us instead though a mini-epic of Kafka-esque seaside survivalist horror. Essential gleaning!" https://flatwormsmusic.bandcamp.com/	*
Nikki Sudden	Channel Steamer "Channel Steamer" by "Nikki Sudden"	Waiting On Egypt	Abstract Records / Secret Canadian / Numero / Easy Action / Troubadour Records	1982	A song from Nikki Sudden's first post-Swell Maps (solo) album "Waiting On Egypt", released in 1982. It was also the single from that album, released in April of that year. This song recorded at Starforce in Battersea, 17th August 1981. ////////// "Adrian Nicholas Godfrey (19 July 1956 – 26 March 2006), known professionally as Nikki Sudden, was a prolific English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He co-founded the post-punk band Swell Maps with his brother, Epic Soundtracks, while attending Solihull School in Solihull." //////////// "Contributor: Andrew Shields: 'Few artists have worn their influences (which included Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Faces, T. Rex, Can, New York Dolls and especially Johnny Thunders) as much on their sleeve as did Nikki Sudden. At the same time, there were only a handful of artists who had as utterly distinctive a style as he had. Partly, this was because of the unique quality of Nikki’s voice; no one has ever sung in quite the same way. His music was also remarkable for its combination of differing styles, all held together by an over-arching world view which was very much his own. //// As John C. Barry, his bandmate from his final backing band the Last Bandits put it, his imagination was filled with “the deep palate of unbelievable and fantastic Bible stories; the ‘short but sweet’ life of a pirate in the seventeen-hundreds, Napoleon and Wellington, Midget Submarines and Jane in Europe … [and] the Rock & Roll excesses of the Stones and T. Rex in the nineteen-seventies.” Other Sudden favourites were the Biggles books and the TV series, Stingray and Thunderbirds. It was from the latter that the name of his first band, Swell Maps, formed with his brother Epic Soundtracks, was derived. //// Sudden was born Adrian Godfrey in 1956. He spent his early years in Croydon, but the family moved to Solihull in the English midlands when he was 8 years old. Along with his brother, Kevin (aka Epic Soundtracks), his first major musical enthusiasm was for T. Rex. Indeed, he remained a staunch Marc Bolan fan throughout his life. After going through a number of short-lived bands, the brothers eventually founded Swell Maps with other local musicians including Jowe Head, Richard Earl (aka Biggles Books), David Barrington (aka Phones Sportsman) and John Cockrill. Although they were founded before punk, the Maps have often – probably rightly – been described as being a ‘post-punk’ band. In a sense, this reflects the eclecticism of the group’s musical influences and Sudden’s own ambivalence about the punk movement in general. Although he admired several of the groups involved and was influenced by its ‘back to basics’ approach, he was far too much of a rock traditionalist ever to fully embrace it. For anyone who wants to find out more about Swell Maps’ history, I recommend Rick Leach’s excellent Toppermost. //// After the demise of Swell Maps in 1980, Sudden embarked on a solo career. Waiting On Egypt, his first solo album, was released two years later in 1982.'"
Epic Soundtracks	Downbound Train (Early 1980's Home Recording)	Wild Smile	Easy Action / Troubadour	1980 / 2012	Original written by Chuck Berry. -- An early solo track by Epic Soundtracks, née Kevin Paul Godfrey. He was the British musician and brother of Nikki Sudden. He was born 23 March 1959 in the UK and died of unknown causes 5 November 1997 in London, England, UK. Artistic name is a tribute to label Epic and album Soundtracks by Can. //// "Epic sings here though Nikki Sudden provided vocals for the same track then re-titled "Rundown Tube" which appeared on Swell Maps 1986 retrospective "Train Out Of It"." //// I love the original version of this song, and this update of it is certainly no slouch, either. Both the original & this cover are dark, intense & unrelenting from start to finish. Fantastic. From a rarities comp. that came out long after Epic Sountracks had passed away. ["Epic Soundtracks was the stage name of the British musician Kevin Paul Godfrey (23 March 1959 – 6 November 1997)."]
Swell Maps	Spitfire Parade "Spitfire Parade" by "Swell Maps"	A Trip To Marineville	Rather / Rough Trade / Secretly Canadian	1979 / 2012	From Swell Maps' debut 1979 album "A Trip To Marineville". About the band: "English post-punk group, formed in 1972 in Birmingham, England, UK by brothers Kevin Godfrey (aka Epic Soundtracks) and Adrian Godfrey (aka Nikki Sudden). The lineup was completed with Richard Earl (aka Biggles Books), David Barrington (aka Phones B. Sportsman), John Cockrill (aka Golden Cockrill) and Stephen Bird (aka Jowe Head). After releasing two albums and four singles they disbanded in 1980." //// "A Trip to Marineville is the debut studio album by English art punk band Swell Maps. It was released in June 1979, through record labels Rather and Rough Trade. //// All tracks except "Vertical Slum", "My Lil' Shoppes 'Round the Corner" and "Steven Does" were recorded in Woodbine Mobile Recording Studio in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England on 28–29 December 1978, 15 and 17 February 1979 and 15–17 April 1979."
Oneida	Gunboats "Gunboats" by "Oneida"	Expensive Air	Joyful Noise Recordings	2024	From Oneida's 17th album, released July 19, 2024. Excellent when favs. Oneida & Swell Maps crossover, the one re-invigorated & the other long defunct, but both deserve much more attention in the world at large. //// "Oneida’s previous album, Success, came after a four-year hiatus, unleashing the band’s pent up creative energy in a set of catchy, accessible, nearly poppy songs. Song structure remained important in the run up towards Expensive Air, but so was the instinctual, improvisatory interplay that has always been a part of Oneida’s process. The band had been playing live together for two years, sharpening its attack and pushing its songs to go harder, faster and wilder. //// Oneida recorded Expensive Air in three sessions scattered across 2023, convening at Colin Marston’s Menegroth The Thousand Caves studio in Woodhaven, Queens, whenever they had a few songs ready. Marston and the band mixed the album in February 2024 at Menegroth. //// The new album expands on what Oneida achieved with Success, but also pushes past it, laying down irresistible song structures then blowing them to psychedelic bits. “I found myself thinking about this record as a darker, looser, louder, counterpart to Success,” Bobby explains. “Both records charge forward from the jump and mix the elliptical with the blunt, and longing with self-mockery. But Success is like laughing in a car gunning carelessly through an ice storm, and Expensive Air is how you laugh at yourself as the car spins into the ditch, or a tree. Same trip, but a little closer to the bone.” //// From a review, re: this cover version... "At the other end much comes into focus as we reach the final tune ‘Gunboats’, which is a Swell Maps cover. The play it pretty faithfully too. //// "Much eulogised as a cult band it still sometimes feels as if the Maps have only partly been given their due, regarded mistakenly as some sort of rock ‘n’ roll savants, as if Nikki Sudden’s songs bubbled to the surface accidentally amid chaos and general dicking about. This is only partly true. ‘Gunboats’ is from their debut A Trip To Marineville an album which opens with the chanted chorus “Do you believe in art?” Of course Oneida would love the Swell Maps, fellow adopters of comical stage names, serious but playful, lo-fi surveyors of uncharted territories, discoverers of hidden back routes connecting rock ‘n’ roll through krautrock and musique concrète to punk, bedroom diviners of the lightning that hits the bottle." /////////////// Oneida is: Kid Millions / Bobby Matador / Hanoi Jane / Barry London / Shahin Motia // Extra vocals on this track (Gunboats) by Sarah Richardson. (Wonderful to hear her vocals again!) Produced by Oneida// Mixed by Colin Marston, and Tom Tierney on Gunboats // Mastered by Alan Douches" ----////---- https://oneida.bandcamp.com	*
Jowe Head	Godstar Reprise (Vocal: Lori Stott)	The Other Side Of The Forest	Glass Modern	2024	Cover of Psychic TV by former Swell Map, from a soundtrack released May 3, 2024. About the project/album: "Original Music Soundtrack by Jowe Head from the film by Grant McPhee. //// Renowned Scottish film director, Grant McPhee (“Big Gold Dream”, “Teenage Superstars”, “Far From The Apple Tree”) has finished his next film, a “fantasy Pop-Art Fairytale”, starring Lori Stott (BBC’s The Demon Headmaster) and Ashley Sutherland (Night Kaleidoscope). It is the story of a shy young woman seeking her fame in the dark world of the 1960s folk-music underground. Lori’s journey to stardom takes her on an adventure far beyond the music world she is trying to break into, and instead she travels far beyond her reality to a forgotten past of rural landscapes, magic, myth, dead Gods and mysterious fallen angels.” //// Grant commissioned musician Jowe Head, from the UK underground rock scene, to compose and record music for this film. Jowe is mainly known for his work with Swell Maps and Television Personalities. //// Jowe produced several pieces for this soundtrack, combining a variety of acoustic and electronic sounds. He played a range of curious medieval and primitive instruments: a mandocello, harmonium, bowed psaltery, double-bass, and home-made percussion, blended with analogue synthesiser, theremin, and treated guitar. //// The resulting music is somewhat eerie, and rather psychedelic, in keeping with the film’s location and content. //// Jowe also provided backing arrangements for songs performed by Lori, who sings at various stages during the course of the film. These include versions of “God Star”, “As Tears Go By”, “Since Yesterday”, “Sunday Morning”, “Tous Les Garçons”, (originally recorded by Psychic TV, Marianne Faithful, Strawberry Switchblade, Velvet Underground, Françoise Hardy)." https://glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/the-other-side-of-the-forest	*
Liars	Rose And Licorice "Rose And Licorice" by "Liars"	Oneida / Liars – Atheists, Reconsider	Arena Rock Recording Company (ARRCO)	2002	Liars cover Oneida on a split EP with said band. (They returned the favour.) The Liars songs were produced by David Sitek of 'TV on the Radio'. //// "Split releases often tend toward the lackluster -- whether LP, EP, or single -- because although it may seem like a good way to put out two bands' material when each group doesn't have enough to sustain a full-length, it's more likely they just had leftover tracks that never needed to see the light of day at all. Not true with the 2002 split EP by Brooklyn sister bands Oneida and Liars called Atheists, Reconsider, where both bands contribute three tracks, two of their own and the third being a cover of one of the other band's songs. These two units have less in common in style than in ethos, as both are uncompromisingly artistic and sonically ballistic. Liars are known for their conceptualist tendencies and arty no wave revivalism, where Oneida meld the driving propulsion of Krautrock with the bombast and pretension of '70s hard rock... The symbiotic relationship between these two outfits makes this EP a coherent whole, and it easily ranks among both bands' best releases."
Music behind DJ: Möthersky	Secret Island "Secret Island" by "Möthersky"	Swell Maps: Deconstructed Reconstructed	Industrial Coast	2022	A cover of a song from Swell Maps' second & last official studio album, 1980's "Swell Maps – ....In "Jane From Occupied Europe"" //// "Möthersky is an experimental post-punk duo based in NYC. Originally conceived as the all instrumental solo project of visual artist Richard Vergez, Möthersky has expanded to include South African vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Xander Hing. //// Möthersky explores repetitive patterns, reverberation, dark atmospherics, post-industrial noise, and Krautrock-induced psychedelia veiled in pop structure" "The return of Deconstructed//Reconstructed ///////// Swell Maps//Post Punk Modernism //////// An eclectic tribute to the wonderous Swell Maps. ///////// "Of all the bands to have emerged in the wake of punk, Swell Maps were always the odd ones out. As excited by Gong and Faust as Buzzcocks and Desperate Bicycles, they were as likely to break into eight-minute experimental jams complete with vacuum cleaner, balloons and xylophone as they were to hurtle through ninety seconds of adrenalised rock & roll"...The Quietus //////// "The first Swell Maps single I bought ("Let's Build A Car") still to this day gives me a soul scorched buzz'n'rush.
