You could argue for the Black Lips but I can't see it in the White Stripes.  Sure Jack White's background was in garage rock but the White Stripes were always a very commercial sounding band which for me is very un-garage punk.  Its nothing against Jack White but the White Stripes were always a band designed to sell millions of records.  For me personally a part and parcel of garage punk is to not be that.

 

Well, that's not really anything to do with the style of music they're playing.  I mean, if a band wants to make money, that's their business.  Also, I would disagree that they sound commercial.  The roots of their sound were always based in garage rock, and they also had a quirky, experimental side to their music.  Personally, I think it's weird that they got as big as they did in the first place.  I don't know how to explain it.

Black Lips are definitely garage punk. You can hear '60s punk in their music, esp. '60s trash like the Keggs, et al. Just because they got big doesn't make them any less garage punk. Same for the White Stripes, Hives, etc. It's all good. If you don't like a particular band's style, that's fine. But don't demean them by saying they don't fall within a certain genre...

You're not wrong there, Kopper.

The White Stripes' first three albums were on Sympathy for the Record Industry. NONE of those albums had a commercial sound. Hell, they were a two-piece, primitive as hell. They were unique and good at what they did, and got noticed. That's why they got signed and made it big. Had nothing to do with being commercial. Seriously, listen to their first three albums. I used to play them on my radio show along with all the other garage stuff from back in that time period and fit right in, back before they were a household name. Just because they made it big later on does not diminish the fact that their early stuff is DEAD-ON garage rock.

My mum is more punk than Sum 41. It's a bad article not the worst. They interviewed King Khan and I love the guy so it's worth a read. Deffo don't agree with the White Stripes and the Black Lips being garage punk. I think the author was just scratching around for big names to insert into the article.

I read the feature and I thought the big names were inserted to attract readers. Mind you, they got King Khan accurately and gave him the credit he was due.

Radio What Wave Playlist November 6/2014

First off, Huge Thanx to everyone that came out to our monthly Rock'n'Roll Rent Party last sunday!! Not only did The Mongrels meet the challenge from the Boy From Nowhere to meet or beat their $50 pledge to CHRW, but the crowd at the event put in another $100!!!! Yep, a grand total of $150 for CHRW!! Thanx to all!

And on tonite's show, we've got a couple of special guests, we've got FenyxFyre and Tyler Stewart. FenyxFyre is a sideshow freak artist....meaning he can breathe fire, swallow swords, eat glass, stick foreign objects into his body and do tricks with chainsaws among other feats. In other words, this guy is the real deal as he's recently appeared on AMC Freakshow!!! And he is going to be appearing at an event that Tyler Stewart is promoting at Gordy's Brewhouse.

1. King Tuff....Beautiful Thing....from the Black Moon Spell CD that just came out. This CD has been stuck in my car CD player for about a week and it's quickly becoming one of my faves.

2. Giggleswitch....How Good You Look....from their VII CD. Liam, who played bass in Giggleswitch, is now in Cross The Streams, which is playing at the freak show.

3. Giggleswitch....Polythylene...as above.

4. King Tuff.....Black Holes In Stereo...from the Black Moon Spell CD.

5. catl....FU Blues....from This Shakin' House LP. catl are playing at the Black Shire Pub tonite. They rock!!

6. catl...Shakin' House Blues....as above.

7. catl....Get Outta The Car....from the This Soon Will All Be Gone LP. Originally recorded by Hasil Adkins, catl quite often play this song live and dedicate it to a DJ from this radio station.

8. Frankie And Jimmy....Hard Time Killing Floor Blues....from the Scream The Blues LP. Frankie and Jimmy are opening for catl tonite at Black Shire Pub.

9. Wilko Johnson....Keep It To Myself...from the Going Back Home CD. WIlko was diagnosed with terminal cancer and wasn't expected to live for long. He beat the cancer and is now clean!!!! Congrats to Wilko!!!! Maybe, just maybe rock'n'roll is the cure for cancer!!!

10. Cream....Dance The Night Away....from Disreali Gears LP. This goes out to Jack Bruce who passed away about a week ago. Cream were my absolute fave band back in 1968/69 and introduced me to the blues at a really young age! And this particular LP, I've owned since about 1970 and used to play the shit out of it!

11. Cream....Those Were The Days....from the Wheels Of Fire LP. Another LP I've owned since the early 70's.

12. Terminals....Spiderman....from the We Killed cassette and goes out to regular listener Dan.

Huge Thanx to FenyxFyre for coming on air, putting scissors up his nostils and for eating the light bulb. There's video on the Radio WW page on facebook.

Big thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!! Back again next week, looks like a tribute to original Demic Rob Brent who passed away last night. In the process of lining up some guests for next week's show.

The show is archived at the following link:

Hmmmm....I have'nt studied it enough to give you an informed answer , really , except that I know the group , Prussian Blue , is very big , and they're far more  Pop - oriented. I only heard a bit of them in a documentary.

It's sort of odd that there's White Supremacist Rockabilly , as Rockabilly was born out of a love by Southern White (mostly) males for Black culture. It was about being an individual , not part of a herd , and that was like wearing a big sign that read "BEAT MY ASS !!".

I left Dallas before the (neo - Nazi) skinheads more or less dispersed , or got into other things . I hear that some of them got into Rockabilly , much later , because it was White and Southern. Some of the ex - Punk Rockabilly guys  in Dallas were pretty racist , too , but , I think most people saw the blatant contradiction.

But , Rockabilly music was always , pretty much , apolitical , neither left nor right - leaning.     I don't think there were any blatantly racist 'billy bands in Dallas in the late 80's and 90's , but , I was'nt around. I knew several of the musicians , none of them seemed that way to me. Just songs about cars and girls . A wella wella wella , uh baby , baby  baby.....

Chris , Well , I've been reading  , and seeing on TV , about this new trend toward trying to make the movement more accessible to more sheeple (As Thorazine called 'em.). But , you have a point , and I did'nt mean to discount it.   It could , on the surface , be percieved as funny odd and funny ha - ha to actually hear some of this seemingly contradictory genre splicing , 

I know there is white power folk, country and western, rockabilly, punk and heavy metal, but what is the most unlikely you have come across?

Chris , I read most of the article...To be honest , it did'nt shock or amuse me. Hate music has been crossing over into more genres than Xian Rock (Not making a direct comparison between the two.) .

I think White Power Synth Pop or Indie Rock would be like a double decker shit sandwich. Two kinds of shit , all they need , now ,  is bread .

I read the article and found it confusing that hate music is crossing into genres that were terra incognita a few years ago. Confusing because I noticed that there were genres that would be anathema, but it shows how hypocritical they are, I guess.

I love Hipster Hitler, but could it get any stranger than this, or more comical (unless you believe reality has eclipsed satire)?

What would White Power synth pop or indie rock sound like?
