Whilst mooching around here and there in the electronic void that is Myspace I come across numerous songs that are unreleased or which I don't have on CD (or occasionally do).  By luck, hook or crook a gem a month usually rears its sonic head and I get addicted to the all consuming vibe.  Well, as I get taken in to the melodic maelstrom, I have decided to share my treasure and hopefully get you as equally interested and help spread the word about some darn fine tunes.  Here we go!

August 2010 - 'Rough Justice' by Superyob - Textured, thought-provoking, engraved with passion and just an all round good fuckin' listen. This fine Oi band once again pull out an epic piece of song writing and showcase a talent that really deserves more acclaim.

July 2010 - 'Guns In The Gobi' by The Pain - A superb piece of dub reggae cruising smothered in punk attitude and blended with high refinery and know how. The Pain produce the goods with this one and spring out one of the best songs of the entire year.

June 2010 - 'Glory Days' by Sense Of Urgency - Compiling a disc of material for a US Fungalpunk special radio show I came across this gem I had recently reviewed. A great song and worthy of airplay and done by a great bunch of people with the right fuckin' attitude.

May 2010 - 'This Guy I Know' by The Cellophanes - Ok I am a sucker for the garage sound and a bit of a push over for pop punk. When they are combined I hold my breath and when played so deliciously as this I can fuckin' whoop with utter delight. Whoopee!

April 2010 - 'Your Ass Is A Storage Room' by The Horny Bitches - Taken from the album '13 Reasons To Fuck' this is nasty, vehement rage curled down into the sonic lavatory with nothing more than stinking intent. A 'cack'-ophony to sniff over and over again.

March 2010 - 'Fleur De Lis' by Leather Zoo - Far removed from typical punk rock noisiness this sweet sub-ballad is accurately delivered, contains verdant individuality and captures a freshness of sound I have a real liking for.
 
 * * *

February 2010 - 'Tink' by Neck - Emerald green emotion spilled over with a song that charms every musical sensation within the soul and just forces you into wanting just one more play. A sub-genre encapsulated in one epic burst - sprinkle yer fairy dust on me.
 
 * * *

January 2010 - 'Sixteen' by The Stitches - Slag glam punk filth with a sneer, leer and fungal covered garage sound that I for one love parking in. There is a belief beneath the grime and a surging spittle soaked aggression which only black-lines the whole effort.
 
 * * *

December 2009 - 'Howards Alias' by Skylar - Emotively strained giving a unique style that I personally have taken to. Something tells me I shouldn't but alas I do think this is a sweet ditty. This was found on a recently acquired CD from Do The Dog by the way.
 
 * * *

November 2009 - 'The Movement' by Suburban Losers - What a purely delicious piece of emotive post-punk popology from a band who don't apply too much polish to their products and thus keep things very real.
 
 * * *

October 2009 - 'My Life' by Last Rough Cause - Rather than go all out for a typical Oi Boy noise the LRC crew play a blinder by relying on subtle melody and crafty composition - the result is fuckin' marvellous.
 
 * * *

September 2009 - 'Blood Bath At Burger King' by Teenage Bottlerocket - A great tuneful song with nasty lyrics - what a combo! A band to be admired knocking out a sweet pip of pop.
 
 * * *

August 2009 - 'Perry Boys' by DILE - Some people think this band are shite - or are they just blinkered and bitter. On this evidence (and the rest of the album) DILE are quality and this snippet is a peach.
 
 * * *

July 2009 - 'My Cage' by The Pandaz - Basic punk poison that some will pompously try and rise above but a noisy potion which I am more than happy to drink. Fuckin' punk fizz I love - no more needs adding.
 
 * * *

June 2009 - 'Break Down The Walls' by One Man Stand - a band that have hit a rich vein of form and just ain't letting up. This is a beauty and shows what can come of hard work and determination.
 
 * * *

May 2009 - 'Time' by 3 Black Dwarfs - almost a golden oldie now but this finely constructed song, from a band still finding their feet, is testament to some fine potential.
 
 * * *

April 2009 - 'Stand Proud' by Citizen Keyne - back to the modern day and this is one of those classics every punk should have in their grotty collection. An anthem, a masterpiece, a veritable classic of the 30 odd years of punk so far.
 
 * * *
March 2009 - 'All I Hear Is Static' by The Lillingtons - because The Lillingtons play pop punk like it should be played - sharp, to the point, quirky and full of all consuming melody.

* * *
February 2009 - 'Spitball High School' by The Spitballs - an off shoot from pure popdogs The Mome Raths this is equally effective stuff and one which I am totally mesmerised by.  There is a bit of extra clout here but the incessant snatch and catch speedtrap is still there.  Transcends punks timescale with ease and is a total garage/barrage pleasure.

  January 2009 - 'Cellophane' by Wild Trash - pure unadulterated popology with a pertinent theme as regards today's all embracing consumers.  A real beauty with a joyous chorus that brings tears of punk delight to my bloodshot eyes.  If you can't pogo to this gargantuan chorus rhythm then you really are finished!
