THE BLACK LIPS: [2003] The Black Lips [bomp]Atlanta garage rock maniacs Black Lips have achieved a level of notoriety that's allowed them to be seen on Conan O'Brien's show and year-end "best of" lists everywhere. Their debut, BLACK LIPS!, finds them in the cocoon but growing their rock-&-roll ... Full Descriptionwings. "Stone Cold" is a drunken zombie swamp blues, "Steps" manages to evoke the title with choppy guitar and a beat, and "Crazy Girl" plays up the fuzzy punk aspect of their sound. Though the Lips played in a retro pond, they never once sounded like an oldies act.
Stripped down & dirty punk rock & roll that will suffice for the perfect soundtrack to a whiskey filled night of mischief. Youthful & deep dyed garage rock taken to the next level! 13 tracks. Bomp Records. 2003.
Contains an untitled hidden track following " You're Dumb".
Joe (vocals, piano, organ, drums); Jared (vocals, bass).
Recorded at Mobik, Zero Return, Atlanta, Georgia and Radium Studios, Athens, Georgia.
Black Lips: Cole (voocals, guitar, samples); Ben (vocals, guitar)

LYRES: [1986] A Promise Is A Promise [ace of hearts] A Promise Is a Promise combines old, new, studio, and live material -- both original and covers -- from Boston's legendary garage rock combo. Tracks one through 12 were recorded in New York City, tracks 13 through 15 were recorded live at VPRO in Holland (before a radio audience), and track 16 was recorded live in Rennes, France. Despite the crazy quilt impression, it all hangs together surprisingly well as the performances are universally tight and energetic. Interestingly, there are two versions, both live and studio, of "She's Got Eyes That Tell Lies" by Him & the Others (there is no duplication otherwise). Other notable covers: "You'll Never Do It Baby" (the Pretty Things), "Running Through the Night" (the Mystic Tide), "Jagged Time Lapse" (John's Children, Marc Bolan's pre-T-Rex outfit), "Touch" (the Bristols) with Wally Tax, and "Witch" (the Sonics). Also worth noting: Stiv Bators (the Dead Boys) guests on the opening track, "Here's a Heart." The original Ace of Hearts CD and cassette editions drop "We Sell Soul" (from Roky Erickson's pre-Thirteenth Floor Elevators group, the Spades) and add "Jezebel" (Frankie Laine), "Go-Go-Girl" (Bolan), "Help You Ann" (from On Fyre), "Don't Give It Up Now" (from Lyres Lyres), and "Cinderella" (the Sonics). "Help You Ann" and "Don't Give It Up Now" are the only live versions that don't quite work: the former sounds rushed -- maybe they were already tired of playing it by this point -- and the latter is marred by a homophobic comment (about AIDS) from lead singer/keyboard player, Jeff "Monoman" Conolly. Thankfully, he sticks to the original lyrics for most of the rest of the live material. A Promise Is a Promise isn't the best starting point for the Lyres neophyte, but, for those who already know and love On Fyre and Lyres Lyres, it's a worthy addition to their collection.

BUZZCOCKS: [1979] Singles Going Steady [iris]SINGLES GOING STEADY is a collection of the Buzzcocks' singles, including both A and B-sides.
The Buzzcocks emerged from Manchester's thriving punk enclave with a succession of startling pop singles. Tight melodies and highly memorable ... Full Descriptionhooklines were enveloped in a breathless group sound full of purpose and drive which contrasted with singer Pete Shelly's dispassionate, almost throwaway, delivery. These eight singles, both a-sides and flips, covered a variety of subject matter, from masturbation ('Orgasm Addict') to 1981 nuspeak ('Everybody's Happy Nowadays'), without recourse to obfuscation. Such seminal recordings have ensured the Buzzcocks' place in a lineage just a bit below the Kinks and the Smiths as one of the best purveyors of the 45 rpm.
** Recorded at Eden Studios and Abbey Road Studios, London, England; T.W. Studios, Fulham, England; Olympic Studios, Barnes, England; Strawberry Studios, Stockport, England.
** Buzzcocks: Pete Shelley (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Steve Diggle (vocals, guitar); Steve Garvey, Garth Smith (bass); John Maher (drums).

Monster Squad like their label mates Frontline Attack are heavly influenced by early American Hardcore while mixing it with sing a long Brit punk.

FEARLESS IRANIANS FROM HELL: Foolish Americans / Holy War / Die For Allah [Boner]This band will remind you that thrash addressed real-world issues without lapsing into idiot politics, or getting emotional. It was the music of the dispossessed suburban child trying to make sense of the adult world as concept, and remains some of the most vital and insightful protest music ever created.
Where metal tried to find a theory, and punk tried to find a political lifestyle, thrash was like Nietzsche's philosophical hammer, testing every concept found in the news and high schools and spitting out a binary verdict: sane or insane.
Like most thrash bands, FIFH music has punk song structures with metal riffs; unlike the rest, this is bouncy and closer to punk rock than punk hardcore, and is also surprisingly musically advanced. Dissonant chords, offbeat rhythmic structures, and an almost prog rock version of the breakneck tempo changes common to the genre distinguish this band.
"Thanks for the missiles/The cake and the guns/The Bible, The money-for all that you've done/Thanks Uncle Ollie, but now it's our turn/We kneel to no one/and soon you will learn/Kneel to no one" Praise Allah!

CHAOS U.K.: King For A Day [EP]Chaos UK began its long journey in 1979, with a lineup consisting of vocalist Simon, guitarist Andy, bassist Kaos, and drummer Potts. They eventually signed with Riot City Records and released two 7" records in 1982. That same year, they released an eponymous LP with a slightly different lineup. Kaos had moved to vocals, and new members Spot and Nige took over on drums and bass, respectively. They left the label soon after and disappeared until 1984's Lawless Britain, also known as Short Sharp Shock, which came out on Children of the Revolution Records. They also had a new lineup at this point, now featuring singer Mower, drummer Chuck, guitarist Gabba, and Kaos. An interesting minor controversy would result from this album, as Michelle Shocked would release an album called Short Sharp Shocked with virtually the same cover art, much to the band's dismay.

POSTER CHILDREN: [1993] Tool Of The Man [Sire]Tool of the Man found Poster Children not only coming to grips with life on a major label (and doing it very well -- their experiences at never owing Sire any money while taking charge of their own career are an object lesson for nearly all acts), but sounding even better than ever. Not that their previous albums were terrible, but there's a live-wire punch right from the start that makes both the band as a whole and Rick Valentin in particular sound all the more merrily upfront. His singing isn't always as buried as it was before, stronger and more confident in the same way that the music -- especially in contrast to so much of the grunge-wannabe style at the time -- had a nervous, fierce edge throughout, even at slower tempos. The quartet's ear for hard rock rampage in a post-punk guise hadn't changed any -- Rose Marshack's bass, in particular, now sounded like it could knock down walls without even trying -- but there's all the energy of new wave quirkiness without seeming like a quirky new wave band. How else to explain the full-on mayhem of "Tommyhaus" or the giddy energy of "Outside In" -- songs that are as heavy as any listener could want but succeed first and foremost at putting a smile on a listener's face? As for straight-up rock power, there's "In My Way" (check out the surging mid-song guitar blast in particular, truly monumental stuff), the near-obsessive focus of "Redline," and the no-amps-cranked-higher death march of "Idiot Show." The full balance would yet be found on the amazing Junior Citizen, but Tool of the Man is less successful than that album only by a matter of degrees. Best song titles this time around: "Blatant Dis" and "Shotguns & Pickups," both of which quickly blast out without apology.

POSTER CHILDREN: [1995] Junior Citizen [Sire]With co-production help from Brian Anderson and a great mix by Bryce Goggin, Poster Children perfected their synthesis of huge stomp, fun, and funny spirit on Junior Citizen, their best record and easily 1995's most underrated rock release from the States. Making records just the way they wanted to but not getting the attention -- sales or otherwise -- they should have is a crime, but such are the ways of the business; what matters is that the music still sounds as great as when it was recorded. Rick Valentin's vocals are sounding all the more varied and as interesting as ever, from the distorted lead on "Get a Life" to the warm work on "He's My Star" and the lovely yet powerful album-closer "One of Us." "He's My Star" itself is probably one of the best songs of its kind -- it's a partially acoustic and downright heartfelt homage to an idol, but of all people it's Baywatch's David Hasselhoff (and hey, why not?). The awesome epic rock arrangements are far from gone; check out the amazing psych-tinged "Drug I Need," which turns into a jaw-dropping, sky-scraping monster; "Downwind"; or the slyly titled "Mustaine." But it's songs like the wonderfully titled "Revolution Year Zero" and "King for a Day" which capture the blend of hyper-amped energy and loud-as-hell mania (drummer Howie Kantoff, in particular, just can't be beat). "New Boyfriend" captures all the competing impulses at their best; Valentin's lyrical complaint about the titular character is just as fine as the cutting music behind it. But if there's an absolute standout, it's the title track, starting off with a drum-machine beat and shifting into a frenetic singalong with a clipped, catchy melody and an absolutely killer chorus. The lyrics are pretty sweet as well, a little bit of fun about the anime equivalents of the band looking for new recruits in "the war with the empire of the bored."
