Spending Cash, Talking Trash (DWC1012)

by Thee Exciters

Dirty Water Records

my cart CD | LP |

This is a groovy, hip-shaking bastardization of the first Them album that’s been copulating with the energy of The Shadows of Knights. “Things Ain’t Right” is the Count Five reborn – psychotic reaction indeed! But they’re not completely lost in the art of retrofication since they infuse a whole lotta punk attitude in their tunes. Yes! It’s righteous, strip-me-naked-and-paint-me FUZZ RAWK! Forget the Arctic Monkeys or whoever is flavour of the month this month – dial “E” for Exciters if you want your rock’n’roll party to kick some booty, baby!

Dirty Water Records

my cart 7" |

Most suitable: the newly launched Dirty Water record label (run by those good chaps from the London club of the same name) debut with a 45 by a new London group with a moniker not a million miles away from their own. And yes, it's a suitable description. The Dirty, in typically current style, shake up a pile of sounds from yesteryear to forge their own disgruntled, primitive rock.

Don't Give It Up Now (DWC1003)

by LYRES

Dirty Water Records

my cart 7" |

Brand new reissue of one of garage rock’n’roll’s best 45s ever. Boston’s Lyres issued this back in 1979 on Sounds Interesting, run by future Arf! Arf! label chief Erik Lindgren and Chip Lamey. The disc has always been a rare-to-find artefact in its original format, complete with the monochromatic paper picture cover, showing the band onstage when they opened for reunited Texas ’60s garage punks Kenny And The Kasuals.

Superhero (DWC1004)

by The Priscillas

Dirty Water Records

my cart 7" |

For a gang of ladies who want to "rock'n'roll all night and party every day", there nonetheless beats a romantic heart at the centre of The Priscillas' day-glo world. For sure, all of the band's hallmarks are present and correct - riffs so crunching, hard-driven and downright filthy that even The Hives would break out in…er…hives, the sassy, switchblade smiles, Jackie O's make-up tips and the Russ Meyer-approved proportions. But this tale of super-powered true love is as deliciously soppy as it is enervating.

Dirty Water Records

my cart LP | CD |

Drop the best black music, Blues, R&B and Soul, a shot of country, a little more garage, and a pinch of punk into a cocktail shaker - not forgetting to add a little cold beer and presto! you got yourself Los Chicos, a wild powerful Rock'n'Roll party on stage. Los Chicos is a 6-man Rock 'n' roll machine based on a swinging rhythm section that would make the dead dance, 2 guitar players mad for Wilko Johnson and Steve Cropper, a plain mad sax player, and one of the best frontmen in Spain doing the singing.

Satellite Boys (DWC1009)

by The Vipers

Dirty Water Records

my cart 7" |

Single of the Week: Look at the picture cover. That's my face after extensively smashing my face against the wall as this track took over brain and bent it in half. Driving, forceful, genuine punk rock with two savage basses tearing at the leash like two hell hounds. The orderly guitar stabs go off like a well timed battery of three inch guns and singer Nathan cooks the whole thing in a big steam driven oven with the heat setting set to "hate". Fuck I love this.

You Got The Hurt (DWC1011)

by The Branded

Dirty Water Records

my cart 7" |

Malmö may not make you think of snotty fuzz – as Sweden is generally more famous for the likes of Ace of Base – but if you ask The Branded who the hell Ace of Base are, they just shrug, snigger and whack you round the head with a big simple fist. This is my kinda groop. The Branded don't ever eat. They just listen to records by The Yardbirds, Count Five and The Sonics. They don't do anything else. This has left them gaunt and slightly cabbaged. Thankfully, this state of ill repair has produced a back pocket full of great singles that strut like a damaged peacock.

2002 album of the Scottish beat legends the THANES, we can hardly find
the right words for it. The THANES have be around since 1987 and
certainly belong to the very few really important bands of todays
garage and beat scene. Hailing from Edinburgh, they have released tons
of records on the coolest labels around, such as SUNDAZED, CORDUROY,
MISTY LANE, LARSEN and DISTORTIONS to name but a few. The THANES of
this ultra-modern age conjure up ever more new and always interesting
twists and turns from their basic garage band vision. They are

Whatever happened to my rock 'n' roll? More importantly, whatever happened to good British punk rekkids? We were all told aboout Year Zero and No Futuuure and then... the pension plans kicked in. Thankfully, there's a band out there that are so punk that they have to add an 'S'. Yup, The Despondents sent me a 45 (already onto a winner in my book) and fuck me, it's gnarly and tough!

It seems to us here that a few new bands are forming around Europe recently who are executing a wild take on 1960s rhythm and blues. From London we have King Salami & The Cumberland Three, who recently released their first single on Butterfly Records. In King Salami they have a fantastic showman (who passion and knowledge of r’n’b is exemplary) and a frantic backing band, all of whom have worked in several hot rockin' London combos over the past few years - and know how to put on a show.

Not to be outdone by their well-mannered mainland European countries, England has come forward, risen to the occasion, thrown down the gauntlet, and stepped up to the plate. Awash with the quality and quantity of the homegrown variety (where were you all when I was stuck there for four long years?) the Parkinsons can add their name to the ever-growing, prestigious list. Definite '77 vibes with garage styling; rawer than the Briefs, more controller than the Pokers, and a little touch of ew wave vibe as once mastered by the Exploding Hearts.

Yeah, that's right, The Way-Outs are the ultimate VOX band!!!!

Influenced by wylde sounds of garage bands from the 60's and 80’s. They dig great ‘60s Garage bands like the Sonics, Seeds, 13th Floor Elevators, Count V, Kingsmen, Wailers and also dig a lot of bands from the ‘80s revival like the Fuzztones, Chesterfield Kings, DMZ, Gravedigger V, Tell-Tale Hearts or later on the Mummies, Cynics, Gruesomes etc.
