Yo's. Not really new but havn't posted in here yet.I'm Andrew from Melbourne, Australia. Work as a communications technician. I enjoy my folk/psych/garage/hardcore/protopunk/shitgaze/lofi/krautrock/postpunk and so forth. I mostly follow my local scene in Australia...UV Race, Slug Guts, Straight Arrows, Royal Headache etc.

By the way this version kicks ass as usual..

And a 7" split double version with Melvins has been released too.

Where I wanted to stay.. ;) Sorry, don't watch much TV

I kinda like the dark country sounds, I blame Hank Williams, so check this dark place out.

Hank Ray - Countricide

Another one I've got to get my hands on!

And don't forget The Gibson Bros. I like the album they did with Workdogs, Punk Rock Drivin' Song of a Gun.

You should also check out Pat Todd (former lead man of the Lazy Cowgirls) and the Rank Outsiders. Good stuff there, as well.

And not necessarily "cowpunk," but the Reigning Sound and the Compulsive Gamblers both have some cool countrified garage tracks.

If you're still in Oregon, you should definetly hit Portland every now and then as it has a good number of record stores that still have decent records mostly in the Broadway district.

I was in college before I got to listen to garage. Montana can be something of a cultural void. So working radio in Eugene I heard Thee Headcoatees, Billy's girl band with Holly Golightly. Then the Cramps, the Candysnatchers, April March (& the Makers), I still don't know shit and that's all I know for sure. I do love the sound though.

I would have to say that back when I was about 7 years old.  Going through mom's records, she only had a few.  I found the Shangri Las, "Leader of the Pack"  and have been hooked since then.

Going all the way is a blinding tune :)

I think it was Pebbles Vol 1, sometime around 1990 - that skip in 'Action Woman' won me over straight away. Beaver Patrol, Potato Chip, 1-2-5, Going All The Way, etc...

Amazing record :)

"!!Destroy-Oh-Boy!! by the NEW BOMB TURKS. Bought it on vinyl after seeing their video (in connection with a Crypt special) on german music channel Viva (which is kind of unbelievable looking back now!) in 1995.

I normally play through one of these (picture stolen)

but I when I play with a group, I use a Vox AC30 reissue that is part solid state and has one tube to make it sound real.  I love it.

get yourself two plain heavy glasses. Make a sandwich with the vinyl and then you have two options:

- put it in the oven, low temperature and door open for some minutes, always keeping an eye on it

- or in a warm sunny day, make the same and let the sun do the job

That's a good record that deserves to be saved!

Hey guys I guess this would be the best place for this question. I have a really nice copy of The In Crowd - Nothing you do / Midnight Hour on Ronn. It's got a big hump in the middle of it. I'd really like to repair it but have no idea on how to go about doing that without screwin up the record. Any good solutions?

since young loud and snotty was one of my first "punk" albums i gotta go with that!!! it was years later before electric eels or mirrors showed up here in small town australia... what a hell of a scene cleveland had!!  but DAMNED AND DEMONIC DEADBOYS all the way!!

whoa!!!  sounds like my idea o' heaven (or is that hell?) :D  gotta get this baby...

there's a chosen few ep recently re-issued too (with the band's permission) - i'll find the details and post em up

i just finished reading Spraypaint The Walls - got me all enthusiastic about Black Flag again!  I'm not one of those who only likes the early stuff... being in Australia it wasnt until Damaged that i discovered em anyway (actually the first song i heard was  Police Story on the Let Them Eat Jellybeans comp and that just blew my mind) and i liked the later heavier, uglier stuff... one of those bands that thanks to Rollins' popularity and Ginn's stubbornness sometimes gets lost in the bickering...

Just started listening. I thought Southern Culture on the Skids wrote "Daddy was a Preacher Mama Was a Go-Go Girl" Guess I was wrong. This version by Miss DeLois is more trashy than country. I love it!
