Yeah man, check 'em out. Well worth it in my opinion. Most of their stuff is compiled on "Elgin Avenue Breakdown". About a dozen tracks are studio cuts. They've got a good R&B/garage vibe. I'd say their sound is similar to Eddie & The Hot Rods. How about the London SS? Anybody heard them? It's Mick Jones' first band (as well as a lot of other notable London punks). I understand there are some demo cuts out there, but I've never heard them. I'm curious if they're worth a listen. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Would anyone recommend searching for recordings by the 101ers, Joe Strummer's band before the Clash? I think most of them are live but they've been brought to my attention a few times.

I think we can come back to this topic after we read all the letter sections in back issues of Maximum Rock and Roll. Gawd! Either this topic is really old or I am.

Then I propose a new question- What is Punk? Does it have to be leather jackets and mohawks? Is punk the same today as it was back in the 70's? I think it is interesting cause I don't think punk is this specific style... it is a way of thought....

white riot is only generic cause of all the hacks that copied it after Roo
At the time it was inspiring (it inspired Toronto punks to destroy 3 rows of seats in the O'Keefe center - now the Sony center for the performing arts) gotta be one of the dumbest venues I've seen a punk act in but it was fun. it's too easy too look back and judge music in terms of what has come since. frequently though what has come since exists because of what came before. I think up to London Calling the clash were stellar, Sandinista should have been a single album, not a triple but they were trying to get out of a shitty contract. I spent an afternoon drinking with joe on one trip through Toronto and we talked about how shitty a lot of us though Sandinista and combat rock were. He took it well but justified it in terms of being able to get out of the contract so they could have more freedom to do what they wanted.

Its not really harmoniezed rebellion would be more the word but i think your forgetting white riot (generic punk though it be) and clash city rocker i think could be classified as punk

I think they began as a punk band and became a good rock band,maybe their
political lyrics give them that rebel-with-a-cause attitude,
but overall they were a great rock band (Joe Strummer was a great Creedence C.R. fan,so he said)
able in mixing various styles of music as might have been the WHO,ROLLING STONES in past years,
or TALKING HEADS in another country (and some calls them punk too).
And as many great rock band they end in the crap..
And then,what means punk? It's a much larger use term,a word like rock,pop..
Is the one who read it that gives its intent. Not most of us..

Well, almost everybody who graced the stage of CBGB's between 1974 and 1980 was considered a punk band, but most of the bands never sounded alike. Television, Talking Heads, Blondie, Ramones, and Suicide really have nothing n common except being in the same scene at the same time.

Would anyone recommend searching for recordings by the 101ers, Joe Strummer's band before the Clash? I think most of them are live but they've been brought to my attention a few times.

<. That is a great recording. I don't dig the Clash version so much but the childish version would obviously not exist without it. Best song on the whole DGaFitS album I think.

Hey, thanks Rod! Turns out I know at least a half dozen or more Clash songs without even realizing - or remembering it. I just performed my 1st ever internet (or otherwise) search on the Clash. I think I'll seek out those early recordings. I'm expanding my horizons!

The Clash do a decent version of Vince Taylor's "Brand New Cadillac" but it's stuck on the LONDON CALLING album,which I feel is kind of overrated.

Now that you mention it, I recall Billy Childish referencing that song in an interview, so I guess I've heard of it by proxy. I also remembered that I have those Thee Stash recordings. So there's 4 more, I suppose.

One can gather what an impression the Clash has made on me. I think it must be due to despising that "Rock The Casbah" song so much in my youth that I figured it wasn't worth pursuing the band much further. Heck! for all I know they may be the greatest thing since Emmett Lord!

Strike my testimony from the record.

I'm looking for another DeArmond Jetsar with Goldtone's. Any one got one up for grabs? Dan

Since my feed fucked up the jukebox etc for a couple of days, some of you might not consider yourselves "fans" ...

You can hear plenty of bands like this right here: http://www.garagepunk.com/category/podcast/backseat-beat/

There are lot of songs dedicated to cars,most of them in Rockabilly and Surf and not only.
But there's a band of total speed devotion,that I love, beginning from their name,QUADRAJETS!
If you don't know much about them I suggest you the"Pay the deuce" album.
(But don't listen while you're driving!)


Well,tell me yours

For rockabilly lyrics, this site is great : http://www.rockabilly.nl/lyrics/

I'm looking for the real lyrics to the Unrelated Segments' "Where You Gonna Go."

I sang some gobbledegook on the Malarians' 1986 recording of the song, and want to get 'em right on the reunion tour.

Can somebody knows where i can find those lyrics :

Friday Night Dance Party - Link Wray
Booze Party - Three Aces & A Joker

Haven't got the time" by The Pagans .

thanks very much !

Oke cut this crappy shit!! About the show, the music I play. Thats the only important thing.
My show is a big mix. The only thing you have to remember is this!!

It's a dutch radioshow that stands for a great sound of sleazy trashy Rock & Roll / Garage/ Punkrock/ 60's beat/ Ye Ye beat/ 60's Girl Garage/ Raw Rhythm & Blues/ Bubblegum punk/ Pre wars/ Nasty rockabilly/ Trashy Country and many many more...for all ye sinners and sufferers...

I'm getting some King Khan tracks, and after that some Don Byas and Kenny Clarke tracks. Right now I'm listening to a lot of Chronological Classics jazz records. I recommend the Illinois Jacquet set if you like wild R&B sax honking from the Fifties. He's just as great as Big Jay McNeely. Don't forget the big Valentine's Day special with free tracks if you log in after the 14th. swt said:
