A few weeks later they asked Jake´s brother Tomppa to join the band and so he did. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The name RATTUS was taken from the first Lp of THE STRANGLERS, "Rattus Norvegicus". RATTUS is latin meaning a rat, a very big rat. In the early days RATTUS did shows only in their hometown and near of it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1980 RATTUS released their 1st record, a 2-song 7" on their own ´Hilipili records´ label. Only 200 copies were made and sold mostly to friends. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 2nd record was recorded the same year and released in the beginning of 1981,again on Hilipili records. 200 were made in the 1st pressing and 100 more were made,including 50 of those,which were sent to England as a recordstore/mailorder called Bullet records really liked the band (also other early Finninsh punk bands!!!) and wanted to help out selling in England. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After that Poko Records label (also a record store called Epe´s) signed the band and the next four records (1x 12" + 1x 7" + 2x 12") were released on Poko,they were all combined on one Cd (recorded works 1981 - 1984) which was released in 1993.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In november 1981 RATTUS supported The Exploited on their three date tour in Finland. RATTUS was also supposed to support the Dead Kennedys in december but somehow didn´t make it. (Jello Biafra heard about it years later and wasn´t very happy that RATTUS wasn´t the support band). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the beginning of 1983, the search for singer began, since Jake wanted to concentrate on playing guitar. At first rehearsals were done with band´s old friend Astro. You can check some tracks here. At last, the band chose Annikki, who was the second choice after Astro. Annikki had been with band as roadie since the beginning so the choice was quite natural. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 1st time RATTUS played outside of Finland was in Arhus, Denmark (1983).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the spring of 1984 RATTUS did a four week European tour playing shows in Sweden, Germany, Holland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Denmark and England.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In january of 1984 rattus recorded songs for "Ihmiset on sairaita" Ep and Poko records was supposed to release it but then the boss of Poko thought that punk wasn´t selling enough anymore and said that RATTUS should try to find another label to release it. That label wasn´t found until spring of 1985 when a new label called Ann &amp; Archies records released it as their 1st release. Those tracks were included on Brazilian version of "Uskonto on vaara", which now has 15 tracks (well, I´d like count ´Medley´ as three tracks here...) and is a full killer Lp !!! One of these songs is on Maximum Rock´n´Roll ´Welcome to 1984´ compilation Lp. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the time members of RATTUS started to listen more and more metal (Metallica, Slayer and VENOM) and songs also started to sound more metal. Annikki wasn´t good enough anymore in the new style and Jake took on the vocals in march of 1986. Anyway, two new, more metallic tracks, with Annikki doing the vocals, were released on "Have a rotten chrismas Vol II" compilation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, Jake started to sing again and band was also again a three-piece. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In july RATTUS recorded a new Lp but the label Dekadenz, who also paid the studios, wasn´t too happy with new, more metallic material. Album "Stolen Life" was left to be released later in France and Brazil. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A new member Kari joined band as a 2nd guitarist in december of 1986. First shows with new lineup took place in Sweden and denmark in february 1987. Most of the crowd were expecting for old HC-punk sound and were disappointed to what they heard. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In november 1987, RATTUS recorded a 2-song 7" which became their last official recording.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rattus broke up in february 1988. Last show was in Jyväskylä 15th january 1988.

He has since developed into a rock-solid vocalist, his voice a powerful and fluid instrument. Muir still delivers emotionally ferocious spoken-word segments on "Nobody Hears" and "I Wasn't Meant to Hear This," but the trademark is woven into good songs rather than being an end onto itself. A clenched fist in a velvet glove -- or is it an open hand in chain mail? -- whichever, The Art of Rebellion packs a punch that should win over new devotees while maintaining the group's hardcore following."[AMG]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In my opinion, this is their "alternative" album. I bought two cassettes of this one because I kind of overplayed the first one, and I almost overplayed the next cassette until I finally bought the CD. Their sound is fresh but never strayed very far from their roots. It only shows the maturity of the band, especially Mike Muir. My favorite here is I'll Hate You Better. I just love the lyrics - "my hate is better to give than to recieve" just to name a one. Plus, I'm a fan of Josh Freese of the Vandals and he played drums on this album!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1qpmrrgfosumuc7">Download Here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2586916171869225579?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-22778428446773763622010-12-27T05:22:00.000-08:002010-12-27T05:25:55.930-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TRiTtP1tzvI/AAAAAAAACdk/ALT8Y6ctvJI/s1600/Suicidal%2BJoin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TRiTtP1tzvI/AAAAAAAACdk/ALT8Y6ctvJI/s320/Suicidal%2BJoin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555352545916735218" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">According to some pundits, this is a bad album but I beg to disagree. I love this album! They maybe suffering from some identity crisis - to crossover to thrash metal or to stay in hardcore? But overall this is not bad as it seems. I think, I read somewhere that this is the only hardcore album to crack the Billboard's Top 200 Charts. Not that it actually mattered to hardcore fans but it's still a mean feat nonetheless. I don't know if my memory served me right, so you can correct me if I'm wrong on this one.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ky4e172iv8yodbk">Download Here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2277842844677376362?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-72623876145581512332010-12-27T05:20:00.001-08:002010-12-27T05:22:21.796-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TRiSynBDhdI/AAAAAAAACdc/tsRKitmgRsQ/s1600/Suicidal%2B1st.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TRiSynBDhdI/AAAAAAAACdc/tsRKitmgRsQ/s320/Suicidal%2B1st.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555351538526029266" /></a><br /><div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Fast, furious, and funny, Suicidal Tendencies' self-titled debut owed much more to hardcore punk than to the later hardcore/heavy metal hybrid they would become known for, but it's still quite possibly their best album. Mike Muir proves himself an articulate lyricist and commentator, delving into subjects like alienation, depression, and nonconformist politics with intelligence and humor. The band behind him is aggressive and speedy, but never sinks into an overly fast sonic blur.

Carroll left the group in 1988, and was replaced by Kurt Bloch from The Fastbacks.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The song "Amy Grant", a comical song about Contemporary Christian music and pop music artist Amy Grant, from the album The Men Who Loved Music, was a huge success on college radio and arguably their biggest "hit."</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The band are still together, although after 1996's A Tribute To Music they released no new material until Because We Hate You (2001), a split release with McCaughey's other band, the Minus 5. McCaughey has given more attention to the Minus 5 since then, while Bloch and Sangster have formed the band Sgt. Major, and Hutchison is working more on visual art and design, as well as performing/recording as Chris &amp; Tad with Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America. However, the Fellows released I Think This Is in 2009 and embarked on a tour of Spain that October.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Since 1994, McCaughey has been a sort of "fifth member" of R.E.M., working with the band both onstage and in the studio.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The band was mentioned in the They Might Be Giants song "Twisting", and in the song by The Ziggens "Big Salty Tears", which was later covered by Brad Nowell of Sublime on the album "Brad Nowell &amp; Friends: Acoustic".</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The tribute album This One's for the Fellows (2004) features twenty covers of Young Fresh Fellows songs by artists including The Presidents of the United States of America, Robyn Hitchcock, and The Makers.

He knew I like the Chameleons UK and he’s not that much into it anyways. Too bad for him, but a million thanks brother!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is one of the best post-punk bands ever. And the bands up there in my list together with Joy Division, and the Sound, just to name a few. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is taken of the group’s official website:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Few bands have enjoyed a larger "cult following" than Greater Manchester, England's Chameleons U.K. - known to the rest of the world as simply as The Chameleons - and, accordingly, their brief offshoot bands The Sun and the Moon and The Reegs. Though this commercially unsuccessful quartet split up nine years ago without notice, announcement, or fanfare, the group's ravenous army of scattered fans worldwide have refused to let their uniquely emotional, intensely atmospheric, powerful post-punk slip from the memory.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The demand is such that in the last six years, no less than ten full albums of unreleased Chameleons' material have been released, on two U.S. labels, Dutch East India and caroline, and four English labels, Imaginary, Nighttracks, Glass Pyramid, and Bone Idol: four live LPs of British radio sessions, and three more of studio outtakes and early demos, including the famed scrapped fourth LP sessions from 1987, released as Tony Fletcher Walked on Water.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>These ten posthumous collections are even more astounding, when one considers that Chameleons only made three albums(!) during their existence, 1981-1987, the last of which, 1986's double-LP masterpiece Strange Times was even issued two years ago here in the States by original label Geffen Records, bowing to immense public pressure and a flood of fan mail requests. Likewise, their first two LP's, 1983's 58-minute monster debut Script of the Bridge and 1985's astonishing follow-up What Does Anything Mean? Basically, both originally issued on import on Statik, were recently given their second reissue in England via Dead Dead Good Records (A bastardised version of the former with several songs missing appeared here for one season in 1984 on MCA, earning the major label the ire of both the band and the fans. Fortunately, it's now as out of print as The Beatles' Yesterday &amp; Today "butcher sleeve". Think about that reference for a second...).</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Got all that? Yeah, it's a hell of a '90s blizzard for an '80s band. Like the one that dumped nearly three feet of snow on my New York apartment this past January. But it's a deluge warranted by the singular quality of the music. Which can only mean still more to come. Thus:</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Make that eleven posthumous LP' (and four live ones). You have before you the latest argument for the lasting brilliance of the Chameleons. Rather than flogging a decidedly beaten horse to death, this Live at the Hacienda documents territory quite different from that of its sister releases. The ultimate live statement of the group is definitely the import Live in Toronto (I felt so strongly about this Canadian radio broadcast, I even unwittingly supplied the tape for the release), which catches them in full bloom, from their final ever, devastating tour in North America, February-March 1987. And surely one of Toronto's main advantages is that it hits on all three original LPs material, and that the line-up had tightened over the years of gigging and recording. But Live in the Hacienda boasts a recording as crystal clear and dynamic, only of an infinitely more naive, innocent period of the band, equally fascinating.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>It's recorded at the notorious downtown-Manchester dance club (and later "Acid House" palace) The Hacienda. Co-owned by Factory Records boss Tony Wilson and his label's marketplace heavyweight champions New Order, then as now one of the biggest (and hippest) bands in Britain. The place had a big buzz for kick-starting careers. For example, another obscure, unsigned Manchester area band also yet to make their first LP had the sense to gig there in 1983, namely The Smiths!</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>In such an obviously apropos atmosphere, this short concert predates the recording of Script of the Bridge in 1983; one can tell because "A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days" is introduced as "Men of Steel," from the repeated words of the chorus. Likewise "Thursday's Child" appears here as "Years Ago," with some small differences in the original verses' lyrics. But even if one is not a rabid, frothing Chameleons fanatic/historian, likely to be roused by such ephemera, there can be no question that the little bits of boisterous brilliance are already slotted into place, the cornerstone of the formula that was to inspire endless worship.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Unlike the two year period that predated this concert - see the posthumous Fan and the Bellows (a former indie label release also recently reissued by Geffen) and Dali's Picture collections and the first Peel Session if you are curious for The Chameleons rough-hewed but sometimes knockout diaper phase - we find here the classic line-up that made all their releases finally formulated: young drummer John Lever is comfortable ensconced on drums in relief of earlier pounders Brian Schofield and even original Magazine drummer Martin Jackson, his trademark rhythms, deft touches, and power-style form the solid backbone for the band's epic sweep.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Equally important, The Chameleons here hit on the guitar combination that was to become their main innovation, the unbeatable duo of Dave Fielding's delay-ridden, smouldering, glistening, other-worldly strumming, pitted against Reg Smithies staccato, harsh, post-punk plucking, each note as clearly defined and sharp as Fielding's is blurred and billowing. The marriage of Fielding's cascading tones and the rich, deep bottom end of Burgess's looping bass creates the unbelievably warm textures found once again here, just as Smithies' aggressive precision and Lever's insistent beats supply the forward thrust. The result sounds as fresh and magical today.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Since this concert, which was originally issued in 1994 in Britain with some raw footage as a video, is somewhat on the short side, three songs from another performance of this percolating period are also tacked on, from the previous year at the Gallery. Like six of the seven Hacienda tracks, these three were later properly recorded for Script of the Bridge (the only exception, "In Shreds", was the band's first single, a 7" on the CBS major label, a corporation that did as majors do, dropping the band despite a full sell-out off the few-thousand pressed), but you can hear t</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Enjoy!</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?k0311l3aqka217b">Download Here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-6853140974923145655?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-86686268845715166362010-11-18T22:15:00.000-08:002010-11-18T22:26:36.898-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TOYWS18S0kI/AAAAAAAACcg/J0KwdYOLKVI/s1600/front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TOYWS18S0kI/AAAAAAAACcg/J0KwdYOLKVI/s320/front.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541140904499401282" /></a><br /><div><div style="text-align: justify;">A lot of people could not believe that I like this band.

Then, the next song was Gentlemen Take Polaroids followed by their Smokey Robinson cover – I Second That Emotion. After those songs, I said to myself that this band’s something else.

Standout tracks like Wasted Life and Barb Wire Love make this a solid record from start to finish. A reggae number was thrown in for good measure. And they even took a shot at their own label in the aptly-titled song Rough Trade. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What else can I say about this record that hasn’t been said before?

Then, a few copies of their first single (I’m) Stranded made it to UK and literally became “overnight” sensations, at least to the punk scene. Their music is more akin to the New York Dolls than the Ramones and their debut is a mixture of garage rock and punk. This is a must have for all punks and would-be punks. If you don’t have this you should grab it now.

At first, I don't know what to think of this record, because I was hoping it would like the Undertones but its not. In fact, it kind of launched the music Madchester bands became famous for.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"That Petrol Emotion's scintillating debut reminds everyone, first and foremost, what an incredible musical alliance the O'Neill brothers can be. Following a succession of independent singles (after all, who wanted to touch a couple of ex-Undertones in the mid-'80s?), they settled on Demon for this inspired debut. "It's a Good Thing," "Mouth Crazy," and "Circusville" are typical of the contents -- relentless pop hooks married to surging guitar chords, underpinned by hints of swamp blues and nods to garage rock and other mutant strains of the rock &amp; roll animal. As naked, bold, and impassioned a record as had been heard in years. The title says it all."

Their songs in all of their releases is an eclectic mix of Brit pop, dance (house ?) music, folk. Plus their highly political lyrics make this album very interesting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Following hotly on the heels of 1986's Manic Pop Thrill, That Petrol Emotion's Babble brought more clever madness onto the scene, happily cutting Sean and Damian O'Neill's diversified punk influences with dance music, hook-laden pop, and a streak of acerbic political and social commentary. It certainly wasn't the Undertones. But the wiry, treble-kicking guitars and whooping vocals of "Swamp" made it just as vital, and "Dance Your Ass Off"'s "Party all nights"'s and "Hey! Hey! Hey!"'s weren't so much vapid dancefloor catch phrases as they were righteous calls to action. Despite the hooks that bled from every busted seam, Babble seemed to bask in the glow of a freshly lit car fire. Its walls of guitars, incessant, processed snare kicks, and snarling vocals celebrated the empty calories of pop music, and did so with bared teeth. (Was that a bullet ricocheting off "Split!"'s overdriven rhythm?) At the same time, the album's slower moments were just as accomplished. That Petrol Emotion didn't just set the fires -- they took time to watch them burn. Arriving at a flux point in pop music, Babble became a bridge album between blissfully ignorant dance, radio-ready pop and the remaining sentiment of punk rock. It wasn't just a call-to-arms snapshot at the end of a decade, but a prominent influence on the coming Brit-pop revolution."

Their single "If There's a Heaven," off their debut album Seventh Dream of a Teenage Heaven, received some airplay. Needless to say, that single caught my attention which led me to buying their cassette (good thing it was locally available!). Their debut is a far cry from any Bauhaus releases and they continued this trend up to their last record.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A friend of mine saw Love and Rockets I think in Germany during the Earth Sun and Moon tour where they supported Depeche Mode (it was the 80's and not sure about the details of the story like the country and the headliner, but he saw them and was very impressed) and quickly bought their album after seeing them. He he went back here in the Philippines, he made me a tape and was so pissed because it's not locally available. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I listened to the tape for weeks because their sound was different from what I usually listened to, which is punk, hardcore and metal. No New Tale to Tell became a minor hit for them and I think the Mirror People too but my favorite track here is Waiting for the Flood.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luckily, this record was made available after So Alive became a smash hit. Actually, all their albums became available locally.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope you like it as much as I do.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?qmuj6wsy1m3iu7s">Download Here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5537021549145220633?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-13192393264237386282010-07-30T22:13:00.001-07:002010-08-06T06:27:03.041-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TFOxEIZI_VI/AAAAAAAACa4/GCehjpzqdiE/s1600/front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 256px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TFOxEIZI_VI/AAAAAAAACa4/GCehjpzqdiE/s320/front.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499934254480031058" /></a><br /><div>I had this idea of posting classic punk and hardcore releases for those youngsters who are new to punk and for those who just discovered punk.

Just as the N.C. group's lineup constantly shifted, so did their music. While still plenty hyper, Animosity has a bit more metal mixed in with the hardcore punk of the band's debut, Eye for an Eye. Weatherman's guitars and Mullin's drums get a more sophisticated studio treatment, creating a thicker sound that reflects a mid-80s thrash influence. C.O.C. weren't following any trends, they just incorporated all the things they liked about thrash, punk and '70s metal originators Black Sabbath into their constantly evolving brand of down-home hardcore. The politically charged lyrics that marked the group's early-career progressive outspokenness are very evident on tracks like "Mad World" and "Intervention." With its thematic and sonic improvements to their successfully established punk, Animosity secured Corrosion of Conformity's artistic and commercial credibility."

I’ve been waiting this record to be released here because of the hype surrounding the band (and Industrial music at that time). It’s safe to say that this record did not disappoint, it’s everything I expected it to be.<br /><br />Two or three years prior, I saw their first record in the imports bin and was all set to buy it. Then my friend who was with me at that time intervened saying “I heard their first album sucks big time, it’s a disco record!” At first I thought he was just kidding, but he was really insistent. Good thing, Go Girl Crazy CD was also available, so I bought the Dictators instead.<br /><br />I still haven’t heard of the Ministry’s first record so I can’t say if it’s disco or if it sucks big time just as my friend described it.<br /><br />Anyway, this one definitely rocks and a must have.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5myi5zonjwk">Download Here</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5584927564253966771?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-26684912178289922012010-06-29T20:18:00.001-07:002010-06-29T20:21:30.883-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TCq3nrG8JrI/AAAAAAAACYg/XIEyaDrY4BA/s1600/half+the+battle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TCq3nrG8JrI/AAAAAAAACYg/XIEyaDrY4BA/s320/half+the+battle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488400988118984370" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a Filipino hardcore band and this is their debut album.

But I will make it a point to post something worthwhile in this little blog of mine. I actually uploaded a lot in Mediafire but I haven’t got the time to post them.<br /><br />First up is Big Drill Car’s compilation of rarities, alternate takes, covers and compilation tracks and 5 new recordings, A Never Ending Endeavor. I have to admit I’m a newbie to this band. I first heard them way after their disbandment. They played pop punk predating your Green Days and your Offsprings. Though their sound is a bit polished for may taste, they still manage to get my attention due to the strength of their songs. Standout tracks include The Other, What You Believe and the title track of their last studio album No Worse for the Wear. Their cover of Celebrated Summer and Buzzcocks’ I Don’t Mind are kick-ass but I can’t understand why Billy Joel’s Big Shot?<br /><br />Anyways, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.<br /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzoyzjyyny2">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-8762764786846439171?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-29637109531721711042010-05-31T03:07:00.001-07:002010-05-31T03:08:41.513-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TAOKdnGnnvI/AAAAAAAACYQ/9NNcOKMpU2s/s1600/Hard-Ons.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/TAOKdnGnnvI/AAAAAAAACYQ/9NNcOKMpU2s/s320/Hard-Ons.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477373813130239730" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Along with AC/DC, this is the best Australian band ever! I can’t thank enough my friend who bought me this CD while she was in Australia. The Hard-Ons music is reminiscent of the pop sensibilities of both the Ramones and the Buzzcocks and plus the brashness of Motorhead and throw in some toilet humor for good measure. Their mixture of pop punk, hardcore, metal and psychedelia sets these guys apart.<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yznvmg5ygdi">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2963710953172171104?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-49978485824449970782010-04-19T03:34:00.001-07:002010-04-19T03:36:20.508-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S8wxxljYz2I/AAAAAAAACRA/uBGjJUucyMY/s1600/eugenius.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S8wxxljYz2I/AAAAAAAACRA/uBGjJUucyMY/s320/eugenius.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461795176057458530" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Sorry guys I’ve been busy lately, that’s why I’m gonna keep this short.<br /><br />Anyways, the posts right now have something in common. They were all released here in the Philippines! These releases made things here in Manila more exciting. I never thought Sick Of It All and the Exploited will actually be released here. Of course these are their major label releases like the Exploited’s Beat the Bastards, ALL’s Pummel, Luna’s second album Bewithced, Eugenius’ Mary Queen of Scots, &amp; Sick Of It All’s Built to Last. Plus I included 7 Seconds’ The Music, The Message. Though the latter wasn’t locally available, it fits the other category which is ‘major label release.’<br /><br />These records don’t need much introduction other than at some point in time, they made my heavy rotation.<br /><br />Enjoy!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dnzmlmnimja">Download Here</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-4997848582444997078?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-35448503544880938642010-04-19T03:32:00.000-07:002010-04-19T03:33:15.475-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S8wxVbJ7vdI/AAAAAAAACQ4/utcKKjhShG0/s1600/Luna.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It was some three years ago when I stumbled upon a blog post which featured all the original songs off the Rage Against The Machine’s all covers album Renegades. And I think it was a very good idea and I was compelled to do the same. And the first thing that I thought of was Napalm Death’s Leaders Not Followers 1 and 2. The plan was to download the songs I do not have in my collection, that is, all the death metal covers from the Leaders 1 and 2. Sounds like a good plan, so I thought. So I started with the first one which only has five tracks plus a hidden track from the Dead Kennedys. The thing is I only have the Slaughter’s Strappado and Dead Kennedys’ Plastic Surgery Disaster. So I have to download the four remaining tracks. Death’s 1985 Demo Back from the Dead was easily available and also Repulsion’s Horrified but I hit a brick wall with Pentagram’s. I thought the Pentagram here was the doom metal band from the seventies but it turned out it was a Chilean proto-death metal band which only released a cassette demo from which Demoniac Possession came from. Back then, I can’t find any blog with Pentagram’s demo. I actually found one but the link was dead. So I abandoned that little plan of mine. And I didn’t even bother to download Raw Power’s Screams from the Gutter not until later on, and I actually found and bought the two-in-one CD of Screams and After Your Brain and have posted it earlier.<br /><br />Then a couple of days ago, I had an idea of reviving that little project of mine, hoping that someone might have posted the Pentagram’s demo. And what do you know it was posted on several blogs. So I downloaded that sucker and ripped my CDs of the Discharge, Cryptic Slaughter, and so on. I thought it was smooth sailing from here on since I already got the Pentagram demo but I was so wrong. I still encountered some minor bumps like the Devastation track for example. I thought the Devastation covered by Napalm was the thrash metal band but it turned out there were at least three bands named Devastation. So I did some research looking for every releases of the three Devastations and the tracklists for each release. Then I finally found it. It was the Chicago band Devastation which only released a demo, and a re-recording of the said demo Creation of the Ripping Death. But the biggest problem was Wehrmacht track from Leaders Not Followers 2 called Fright Night. I only read about Wehrmacht because of their ties with Cryptic Slaughter but I haven’t heard most of their releases. I actually downloaded Shark Attack a couple of years back but Fright Night’s not in that album. So I looked for all the Wehrmacht songs on all of their releases including their demos but there’s no song called Fright Night! I so determined to finish this project that I’m not gonna quit that easily. So the next thing I did was find a key word, look of a song with “Fright” or “Night” in the title. I found one song called Night of Pain from their demo Death Punk while browsing a blog called <a href="http://lockjaw-yappy.blogspot.com/search?q=wehrmacht"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lockjaw</span></a>. So I DLed the Death Punk demo and listened to it. Alas! It’s Fright Night! I even looked at the lyrics in Leaders and tried to compare it with Night of Pain and yes, it’s the same. Then, I found out that song was re-recorded for the album Biermacht. The sound from Biermacht was ‘cleaner’ than the demo, of course, but somehow I liked the demo better than the Biermacht version. That’s why I included the Death Punk version as a “bonus track.”<br /><br />I can now appreciate the Leaders compilation e more since I already heard the originals. And while downloading Insanity’s Death After Death, Master’s Unreleased 1985 album, Massacre’s Chamber of Ages Demo, I was also reading the bloggers’ thoughts on these bands since I really wasn’t into this type of music in the first place. I found out that these bands really deserve to be called Leaders Not Followers! <a href="http://truepunkmetal.blogspot.com/2009/09/master-unreleased-1985-album.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nate from True Punk and Metal</span></a> even commented on how great Master’s sound was, “There really wasn't much else out that sounded this real back then. These recordings put Venom to shame.” Now, that’s sacrilegious to some Satanist circle! Hehehe. But really, I found a renewed respect for death metal, a genre I long overlooked along with black metal. But that all changed when I heard these bands. From the break-neck speed and sheer brutality of bands like Insanity, Master, Massacre and Devastation, I felt like I lost a lot of time after ignoring death metal for so long.<br /><br />Aside from the originals, I also included Napalm Death’s Leaders Not Followers 1 and 2 just in case you don’t have them yet or just plain lazy to rip them. :)<br /><br /><br />Enjoy and Happy Easter!!!<br /><br /><br />Download Here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zeqlwnmmw4k">Napalm Death - Leaders Not Followers</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ynrwzzzih2y">the Original Leaders Not Followers</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-4228710939230633076?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-65142151828874221012010-03-30T01:49:00.000-07:002010-03-30T23:40:06.360-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S7G7lxHqeKI/AAAAAAAACP8/jsIsM2dRPCE/s1600/Leaders+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S7G7lxHqeKI/AAAAAAAACP8/jsIsM2dRPCE/s320/Leaders+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454346881237416098" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Download Here<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?twomntw1utj">Napalm Death - Leaders Not Followers 2</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?bgnzrnwiwn1">Original Leaders Not Followers 2</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-6514215182887422101?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-10942218136253372922010-03-19T03:04:00.000-07:002010-03-19T18:09:01.034-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S6NNPu_CriI/AAAAAAAACP0/rSu8SLU9nO0/s1600-h/alexchilton.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 361px; height: 241px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S6NNPu_CriI/AAAAAAAACP0/rSu8SLU9nO0/s320/alexchilton.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450284906754256418" border="0" /></a> <br /><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CDennis%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another sad day for music today as one of the greatest songwriters passed away. Alex Chilton was only 59 years old. <br /> <br />Alex Chilton started early in music, he was just a teenager when he was with the Boxtops. After Boxtops, he teamed-up with Chris Bell forming the power pop group Big Star. After just three albums, the band disintegrated and Alex and the boys went their separate ways. <br /> <br />Big Star, especially Alex Chilton, influenced a lot of the so-called college radio bands. From REM, to the Replacements, the Posies (Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow toured with the reformed Big Star in the nineties, but remained with the Posies), Teenage Fanclub, Garbage, Matthew Sweet, the Bangles… the list goes on. <br /> <br />Upon learning of his death this morning, I immediately compiled all the Big Star / Alex Chilton cover songs I have. Some I got from the net and some from my personal collection. This includes an excellent cover of Thirteen by the Counting Crows (I don’t like band personally but their live rendition kicks ass! I forgot where I got this), the classic Bangles version of September Gurls, Evan Dando’s cover of Ballad of El Goodo, Teenage Fanclub’s great version of Alex Chilton’s Free Again and Cheap Trick’s take on In The Street from That 70’s Show soundtrack. I also included the Mats’ Alex Chilton – for me, the ultimate tribute! Most of the songs here are covers of Thirteen and I think Holocaust from Third/Sister Lovers. <br /> <br />Tracklist <br /> <br />1. Bat for Lashes - Kangaroo <br />2. Cheap Trick - In the Street <br />3. Counting Crows - Thirteen <br />4. Denison Witmer - Nighttime <br />5. Elliot Smith - Thirteen <br />6. Evan Dando - Ballad of El Goodo <br />7.

I miss it so much so I am going to do something about it. Actually I bought some CDs about two weeks ago and I’m going to post some of them. But before we get into that, here’s Antischism’s Discography. This CD collects almost everything the band did from the All Their Money Stinks of Death to their various EPs, except their full-length album Still Life. I gave them a listen this week and I almost forgot how I love this band. The sound the bass player created was so awesome and different, but what’s cool is how it fits perfectly with their sound. You got to check it out to believe it. My personal favorite is Flesh of Another. It somehow reminded me of I Am the Hunted by GBH. The song started out with this melodic riff, then blasts off into a maniacal frenzy. Luv it!!!<br /><br />Moving on to the CDs I bought. The first one was Rovsvett’s Boll-Mats Bjuder Pa Bullkalas &amp; Kaffe...1984-1987. Personally, I don’t know much about this band other than they released a Poison Idea cover album called Burning the Gay Nuns during the nineties. So I did some research on this release and found out that it a collection of singles and live recordings starting off with the eight-song EP called Jesus Bar en Tomte. The live sets include one from Copenhagen in Denmark on the 5th of April 1986 at Ungdomshuset and Live from KFUM in Tranås, Sweden on the 18th of September 1983. The record is everything you expect from a Swedish HC, fast and hard! But honestly, I thought that it was lacking something which I cannot pinpoint. Production maybe? I honestly don’t know but don’t get me wrong I love this record and I think it’s better than some of the hardcore from the same era.<br /><br />Next up is Raw Power’s Screams from the Gutter/After Your Brain two-in-one CD. I swear I already downloaded this one I think last year in some blog but only Screams from the Gutter, not this two-in-one CD. Then I found it with the Rovsvett CD and grabbed it immediately. These Italian HC/thrash pioneers are great. The songs consisted of straight ahead HC/Crossover with great lead guitars and some songs actually reminded me of the Accused which is not a bad thing. This is a killer album so you better grab it if you don’t have it yet. We Shall Overcome is a great anthem!<br /><br />Then I also found the compilation called Louder Than Hell. I think I saw this one too in some metal blogs. It’s a five song comp from Hirax, the Accused, Toxic Narcotic, Municipal Waste and Voetsek. All the songs are topnotch but Municipal Waste’s Mind Eraser is the real standout here.<br /><br />The last one for this post is Cluster Bomb Unit’s Stumpf Ist Trumpf. I already posted this one a long time ago but somebody requested for a re-up so here it is. This is actually a tour CD for their Asian tour and includes covers of No Security (Chaos UK), State Violence State Control (Discharge), Polizeistaat (Mob 47), Rotten to the Core (Rudimentary Peni) and Who's Gonna Fight the 3rd World War (Subhumans).<br /><br /><br />Enjoy!!!<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;

In case you don’t know it yet I’m based here in Manila and acquiring records means ordering abroad or asking your friends living in the US or UK to buy these records for you. Because finding good records in your local record shop is like finding an adamantium meteorite! So finding a good record that I actually like is a total high for me.<br /><br />But in recent years, local record companies acquired licenses to release Mammoth, 4AD, Victory, Noise, Ryko, Rhino labels among others. For the first time, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Modern English, Sugar, Bob Mould, Cocteau Twins, Warzone and others became available. This move made a lot of us here very happy. And it did lower the CD prices considerably because I don’t have to scour the imports bin or order them.<br /><br />Redd Kross’ Phaseshifter was one of those records that actually saw Manila’s shores. Boy, I am so glad it was released here locally. It was one of those all-killer-no-filler albums. I actually lent this to one of the bosses in my office. He’s not into rock music but I think he was trying to open his mind a bit (hehehe). Prior to that, he told me he bought Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell II: Back to Hell (is that right? who cares!) and the two Use Your Illusion CDs of Guns n Roses and he actually liked them. So he asked me if I could suggest some more ‘rock’ records since I’m the office ‘rocker’ (wtf!). So lent him my cassette copy of Phaseshifter (I already bought the CD copy by this time) and I told him that this will kick the asses of both Meat Loaf and the whole GnR crew! The next day came and he was all praises for Redd Kross and asked me how come he never heard of them before because they were so damn good. For the first time I was stumped. I don’t know what to say. I can’t explain it either. So I told him that there’s no justice in this world we live in (hahahaha). I added that there are lots of bands as good (a lot of them) or even better (not so many bands actually) than Redd Kross that do not get the recognition they deserve to have. Bands like Ramones, Pixies, Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould, Joy Division, Descendents/ALL, Wipers just to name a few, deserved more recognition and success than bands like Motley Crue and Warrant got! He agreed with me, though he hasn’t heard any of the bands I mentioned. He just took my word for it just on the strength of Phaseshifter. That’s how good this record is, so grab it if you do not have this one yet on your collection!<br /><br />Next up is the Posies’ two DGC releases, Frosting on the Beater and Amazing Disgrace. I first learned about the Posies because their songs Definite Door and Dream All Day received considerable airplay in the local rock station. So I first bought the cassette since CD prices were so high back then. The plan was to buy the cassette first then if it’s any good then I’ll buy the CD. Some plan huh. The melody is the key to the Posies. Their ability of churn out good melodies on top of those heavy guitars, say in Definite Door, is astonishing. That makes this record on heavy rotation for months to come especially after I bought the CD two days after I bought the cassette.<br /><br />And when Amazing Disgrace came out, I immediately bought the CD on the strength of Frosting alone. And what do you know, Amazing Disgrace did not disappoint. ‘Amazing’ offered a lot more to the table than the last one. Elements of punk and some feedback a la Sonic Youth were infused. Terrorize’s intro is reminiscent of the Pixies. What’s more was the guest appearance of power pop stalwarts Robin Zander and guitarist Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick.<br /></div><br /><br />Enjoy!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nkkdc2togdm">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-1745570984823891935?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-30066019683379279392010-02-22T17:51:00.000-08:002010-02-22T17:52:52.885-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S4M02NsEZ2I/AAAAAAAACN0/do3HQIPcG_U/s1600-h/Posies+Frosting.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S4M02NsEZ2I/AAAAAAAACN0/do3HQIPcG_U/s320/Posies+Frosting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441250880785770338" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yhdhmztwd1m">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-3006601968337927939?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-7913204112879397932010-02-22T17:50:00.001-08:002010-02-22T17:51:48.103-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S4M0j7d8l2I/AAAAAAAACNs/3rzDkaDhWbs/s1600-h/Posies+Amazing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S4M0j7d8l2I/AAAAAAAACNs/3rzDkaDhWbs/s320/Posies+Amazing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441250566657054562" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ywzjjzkdyyd">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-791320411287939793?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-88180570144080880782010-02-10T00:42:00.000-08:002010-02-10T00:45:04.186-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxylnHV5I/AAAAAAAACNk/g4NFNliGT_U/s1600-h/Manic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxylnHV5I/AAAAAAAACNk/g4NFNliGT_U/s320/Manic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436532814093178770" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">During the late 8os and early 90s, I saw my musical taste shifted from punk to metal, specifically thrash metal. Metal is not that alien to me since my older brothers groomed me to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. So shifting gears towards metal was like visiting an old uncle. Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Death Angel, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and the crossed-over DRI were the staples around the house for a number of years. And in between my Metallicas and Slayers were the so-called alternative bands like Sonic Youth and the Pixies. To make matters worse for punk music, a bag full of punk and hardcore cassettes was stolen. Though most of them were copies I made from my friends’ LPs, punk classics such as Black Flag’s Damaged, Dead Kennedys’ Fresh Fruits, Crucifix’ Dehumanization, Descendents’ Milo Goes to College and Enjoy, and Verbal Abuse’s Just An American Band we’re lost in that bag.<br /><br />And then, a slew of “underground” releases were made available locally that made me realized how much I missed punk rock. Bands like Manic Street Preachers, Senseless Things and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin gave me a wake-up call. I know, these bands were not exactly punk bands but they sure sounded like one which was more than ok for me. The Manic’s Generation Terrorist and Senseless Things’ Empire of the Senseless” were totally awesome plus Ned’s Atomic Dustbins’ Kill Your Television” blew me away!<br /><br />So, I tried to scrounge every music store here in Manila looking for my old punk classics. At first, all I can manage to get were the Clash, the Damned, Minor Threat and Sex Pistols’ records. Then came Tower Records. They carried lots of titles my normal record store wouldn’t carry. I bought my Bad Brains’ ROIR cd there, tons of Descendents, Black Flag and Circle Jerks records plus a whole lot more. I know what it felt like to be in a record collectors’ heaven! But the downside was these records don’t come cheap but that didn’t stop me. I finally got the Verbal Abuse and Crucifix cd’s from my friend who introduced me to crust.<br /><br />I ran across my high school buddy in our reunion 6 years ago and asked him if he still has the Crucifix and Verbal Abuse vinyl. He still has them but wouldn’t sell them to me. Damn!<br /><br />Anyways, I was so glad I came across Manic Street Preachers and the Senseless Things. They sure helped me find my lost youth.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wzw0w4mymcd">Download Here</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-8818057014408088078?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-61556662134318920562010-02-10T00:41:00.000-08:002010-02-10T00:42:51.203-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxbDh4-JI/AAAAAAAACNc/bg1yY3YKGTY/s1600-h/Empire.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxbDh4-JI/AAAAAAAACNc/bg1yY3YKGTY/s320/Empire.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436532409807468690" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ndiiyeijyzm">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-6155666213431892056?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-28184596379931983532010-02-10T00:40:00.000-08:002010-02-10T00:41:44.890-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxKA1IDWI/AAAAAAAACNU/TR10hXm7vmE/s1600-h/postcards.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3JxKA1IDWI/AAAAAAAACNU/TR10hXm7vmE/s320/postcards.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436532117025066338" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yqzznzemo4m">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2818459637993198353?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-82913664509410082242010-02-10T00:38:00.000-08:002010-02-10T00:40:29.975-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3Jw4P2iC_I/AAAAAAAACNM/37CAZEVSXJY/s1600-h/fodder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S3Jw4P2iC_I/AAAAAAAACNM/37CAZEVSXJY/s320/fodder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436531811819850738" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?i2jqinmzmjo">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-8291366450941008224?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-90676386652573325372010-02-03T05:12:00.001-08:002010-02-03T07:18:42.890-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S2l2fIR58EI/AAAAAAAACNA/iYcZj31gl2c/s1600-h/Anarchy+6+Suicidal.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S2l2fIR58EI/AAAAAAAACNA/iYcZj31gl2c/s320/Anarchy+6+Suicidal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434004702569820226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S2l2W37b18I/AAAAAAAACM4/Y7ijjglmjIo/s1600-h/redd+blood.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S2l2W37b18I/AAAAAAAACM4/Y7ijjglmjIo/s320/redd+blood.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434004560741652418" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Another month passed us by and I haven't posted anything yet. Actually, I have uploaded a lot in my Mediafire account but I haven't gone around it. I will be posting them sooner than you think.<br /><br />Anyways, this came from the comments section of the Anarchy 6 post. A reader by the name of Greba Guru was kind enough to upload the two Anarchy 6 releases - Hardcore Lives and Live Like Suicidal. My Hardcore Lives link is still active though but he managed to put these releases into one link. He also added the White Stripes thing Steve McDonald did for good measure. Steve McDonald added bass guitars on the White Stripes album White Blood Cells and renamed it Redd Blood Cells.<br /><br />While the Live Like a Suicidal is a cassette-only release of punk/hardcore covers recorded live. The songs covered here were from Circle Jerks (Greg Hetson used to play with Red Cross before going to the Circle Jerks), SOA, Fear, Suicidal Tendencies and Red Cross/Red Kross.

Hehehe. Anyways, I was already uploading some stuff and I forget that I’ve already uploaded stuff by Philippine Violators last December! Yeah, it’s called memory gap.<br /><br />Philippine Violators is one of the pioneers of Pinoi punk. They are fronted by the Espiritu brothers and lived near our place where I grew up. Actually, they’re from a different city but it’s just a 15 minute ride from us.<br /><br />The posts are they’re first release (At Large!) with the Twisted Red Cross label , the pioneering indie label here in the Philippines that released such classics like the Betrayed’s first album, Urban Bandit’s Independence Day, WUDS’s ARMSTALK and all the great Pinoi comps in the 80’s like Rescue Ladders and Human Barricades, Fatal Response and Third Bombardment, just to name a few.<br /><br />The second was their 20th anniversary compilation. This was compiled by a Korean entrepreneur. I personally do not a have copy of this one but thankfully my buddy gave me a CD-R copy.<br /><br />The third one's their 90's release called Sikat na si Pedro. This was an awesome release and quite a departure from their debut release At Large!. This a testament of the band's maturity. I personally like this one and never get tired of playing it. You should check this one out.<br /><br />The Violators are on hiatus and once in a while, when the members are all present, they hold handful of gigs. But they are all busy now with their day jobs!<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dnod2mt2myu">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-695971557480141591?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-25244585569812472722010-01-18T17:32:00.000-08:002010-01-18T17:37:00.070-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S1UMFDIWPYI/AAAAAAAACMQ/Txoz7Dt0JSM/s1600-h/PhilVio+20th.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 261px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S1UMFDIWPYI/AAAAAAAACMQ/Txoz7Dt0JSM/s320/PhilVio+20th.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428258206744198530" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dz40mjzgm0w">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2524458556981247272?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-58484285903306297562010-01-18T17:28:00.000-08:002010-01-18T17:37:32.222-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S1ULJWj6G1I/AAAAAAAACMI/r1piPkGQbyA/s1600-h/PhilVio+AtLarge.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/S1ULJWj6G1I/AAAAAAAACMI/r1piPkGQbyA/s320/PhilVio+AtLarge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428257181167917906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?oy0ynzgtdmd">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5848428590330629756?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-33037767349683542692009-12-28T07:57:00.000-08:002009-12-28T08:13:08.483-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SzjVuwRyrBI/AAAAAAAABBo/PumkwtS66pU/s1600-h/Christmas+2009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SzjVuwRyrBI/AAAAAAAABBo/PumkwtS66pU/s320/Christmas+2009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420317150750616594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm so sorry that I missed to greet you all a Merry Christmas. I was so busy doing something close to nothing that I totally forgot about about. My apologies. Anyways, I'm going to make up right now with an early New Year greeting - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU FRIENDS!!!<br /><br />I also have a gift to all you Beatle maniacs and Stones fans out there. I stumbled upon these two compilations - Patti Smith Covers the Stones and and Oasis compilation of Beatles covers. I don't know if these are bootlegs or just compiled by the bloggers themselves.<br /><br />I'm not very fond of Oasis, they got some good songs though but I'm not a fan nor I'm a fan of the Beatles but I figured a of guys like them, especially the Beatles. So if you like the Beatles or Oasis, then this post is for you. But I can't say the same thing with Patti Smith and the Stones. I love 'em both! (Who doesn't?)<br /><br />I'm trying my best to find the blogs where I got these to get more info on these comps but to no avail. So there it is, Patti Smith and Oasis doing the Stones and the Beatles repestively. Enjoy!<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?m3uhmnzmgym">Patti Smith - Covers the Rolling Stones</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?n40ttmmjmmg">Oasis - Covers the Beatles</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-3303776734968354269?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-24221960650710890082009-12-10T20:53:00.001-08:002009-12-10T21:03:13.541-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SyHQY242I9I/AAAAAAAABBY/p3OqPV6gyhE/s1600-h/Body+of+Song+Front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SyHQY242I9I/AAAAAAAABBY/p3OqPV6gyhE/s320/Body+of+Song+Front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413837352545428434" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I case you haven’t noticed it yet, I’m a huge fan of Bob Mould. From his days with Husker Du, with Sugar to his solo efforts, he’s just an awesome songwriter. Some would expect that at this point in his illustrious career he would be churning out mediocre works, but no, he’s just not over yet. In fact he’s just picking up steam, a second wind if you will. His 2005 release Body of Song totally blew me away upon hearing it. Great lyrics, even better melodies. It’s hard to pick out a favorite but I’ll try…<br /><br />Songs like I am Sound, I am Vision, Best Thing, Missing You plus the mid-tempo numbers such as High Fidelity, Gauze of Friendship made this album a great listen. His lyrics really paints a great picture and never pretentious. He always says what he means, and means what he says. He’s never vague, the way songwriters ought to be.<br /><br />The other post is the audio rip of the Circle of Friends DVD. This was recorded live at the 9:30 Club during his touring supporting the release of Body of Song. I actually have the DVD, so if like me to upload it just let me know. If there are enough requests I’ll upload it.<br /><br />Note:<br /><br />My friend, the Terrorizer, uploaded this record plus the Audio-rip of the Circle of Friends DVD. He said that he found these in the torrent and gonna upload them on his Multiply site. So instead of uploading my copy, I just asked him if I could post these here and he obliged. Great guy indeed! Thanks bro and more power.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mizjzna2mnm">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2422196065071089008?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-1872602166304869392009-12-10T20:51:00.000-08:002009-12-10T20:53:24.141-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SyHQAfNOAkI/AAAAAAAABBQ/YHeQS2NiDfY/s1600-h/Circle+of+Friends+Front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SyHQAfNOAkI/AAAAAAAABBQ/YHeQS2NiDfY/s320/Circle+of+Friends+Front.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413836933871567426" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?j12zydnkryn">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-187260216630486939?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-13168746139781444572009-12-01T21:59:00.000-08:002009-12-10T21:03:40.109-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SxYCeIOeiqI/AAAAAAAABBI/WEBRB7bixIw/s1600-h/Front+Squares.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 285px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SxYCeIOeiqI/AAAAAAAABBI/WEBRB7bixIw/s320/Front+Squares.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410514718959766178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Sonic Youth, in my opinion, is the epitome of the so-called alternative rock. I’m not very fond of the term alternative rock since it’s very general, ambiguous at best. Because it can mean a lot of things - noise, grunge, shoegaze, indiepop, etc. Even powerpop bands are sometimes called alternative. But since the term’s already been accepted in most circles, I’ll be using it for familiarity’s sake and not be an ass about it.<br /><br />Going back to Sonic Youth, they are primarily an art-noise band trained in the Glenn Branca’s school noise rock. They were even lumped with the No Wave movement together with the Contortions and Swans among many others. Their feedback-laden music became the cornerstone for a lot of alternative bands in the 90’s. Over the years, their music became more and more radio friendly without losing their college-radio credibility.<br /><br />The first post is the album compilation called Screaming Fields of Sonic Love. After signing to DGC and releasing Goo and Dirty, Sonic Youth released this compilation from their years with SST and Enigma records. This is somewhat of an introduction of what Sonic Youth was all about. They picked up highlights from each album and crammed them into this one neat compilation. The album served its purpose well, although the edited versions of Teenage Riot and Candle were kind of a bummer if you ask me.<br /><br />The second post was Hits Are For Squares. This is a controversial compilation since it was released/available in Starbucks stores. But the idea for this comp is truly amazing – celebrities and fellow musicians pick out their favorite Sonic Youth songs and compiled them into this rather unique comp.<br /><br />Enjoy!!!<br /></div><br />Tracklist<br /><br />"Bull in the Heather," selected by Catherine Keener<br />"Sugar Kane," selected by Beck<br />"100%," selected by Mike D<br />"Kool Thing," selected by Radiohead<br />"Disappearer," selected by Portia De Rossi<br />"Superstar," selected by Diablo Cody<br />"Stones," selected by Allison Anders<br />"Tuff Gnarl," selected by Dave Eggers and Mike Watt<br />"Teenage Riot," selected by Eddie Vedder<br />"Shadow of a Doubt," selected by Michelle Williams<br />"Rain on Tin," selected by Flea<br />"Tom Violence," selected by Gus Van Zant<br />"Mary-Christ," selected by David Cross<br />"World Looks Red," selected by Chloe Sevigny<br />"Expressway to Yr Skull," selected by Flaming Lips<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xytzjwjne3e">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-1316874613978144457?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-53010874733898523122009-11-24T22:27:00.000-08:002009-11-24T22:35:06.103-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SwzOhRtS4_I/AAAAAAAABAw/oU9giyOGjf8/s1600/13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 175px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SwzOhRtS4_I/AAAAAAAABAw/oU9giyOGjf8/s320/13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407924323649512434" /></a><br /><br /><br />I was talking to the guitarist of a local punk band called Bad Omen a couple of months back about music (what else!), and I was kind of surprised that he actually liked PTL Klub's 13 Commandments. Surprised? Yeah because he was not actually into "noisy" bands as he carefully puts it. So, we were laughing our asses off when he confessed that he actually enjoyed 13 Commandments. <br /><br />He was the reason why I posted these PTL Klub records.

At first, I was adamant about it but I later caved in to his request. So i list down all the scariest songs I know and compile it in one CD. Scary, that's the operative word here. Not just songs about monsters or ghouls or whatever but really scary stuff. So forget about Monster Mash or Thriller or other songs that were usually played during the season, you're not gonna find them here.<br />My criteria in picking out the songs was simple: the lyrics should be dark or twisted or both. Plus the backing music should add to the overall eerie/creepy feel of that song. That's why you're not gonna see any Rob Zombie/White Zombie stuff in here since I don't find hard rock/metal songs to be that scary. Sure, Rob Zombie/White Zombie lyrics are really dark &amp; grim but the driving music behind the lyrics actually makes me bang my head instead of cower under my bed. I want my scary song to really shock me both lyrically and aurally.<br />The songs here mostly deal with the apocalypse, the devil, vampires, ghosts and murder. Norwegian black metal bands sing about these themes on a regular basis but they lack the sophistication of these songs. Their often blatant lyrics will actually make the listener kicks his stereo in disgust instead of being truly scared.<br />Happy Halloween my friends!<br /><br /><br />Scariest Songs:<br /><br />1. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath<br />In my opinion, the first gothic rock song. It's about a dark figure Geezer Butler saw at the foot of his bed after waking up from a nightmare. The figure vanished into thin air and he quickly went for the book on witchcraft Ozzy gave to him earlier that day. To his astonishment, the book was gone. Ozzy made a song about Geezer's experience and made it as dark as possible. The finished product was Black Sabbath. The sound of thunder and rain made the song more disturbing. A classic.<br /><br />2. Slayer - Dead Skin Mask<br />This song reminds me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I always picture Leatherface coming for me whenever I hear this song. Maybe Hannibal Lecter should tag along since the title fits him as well. The more the merrier.<br /><br />3. Juan Dela Cruz - Langit<br />This is the only song that actually scared the living crap out of me. I was a pre-schooler when this song came out. And my older brother loved it and played it 24-7. But the apocalyptic imagery of the song was too much for my then young mind with fertile imagination. That's why I'm always having trouble going to sleep whenever I hear this song at night. The the first stanza alone will already paint a very dark image on your mind, "Langit ay itim ang kulay, Hindi na yata magbabago, Puso ko'y nagdurugo, Wala na bang tutulong, Ang mga tao dito ngayon ay naghihintay na lang, Sa kanilang kamatayan at sa kabilang buhay."<br /><br />4. Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia (My Reflection)<br />The bassline of this song tells it all. Then, throw in Andrew Eldritch's very deep voice and the song title and you have a Goth classic.<br /><br />5. Joy Division - Dead Souls<br />This song freaked out my friend in college. Apparently, he was listening to it during a black out or something. And the next day, he told about this song and how it bummed him out the night before. After listening to it, I got to agree with him. The song's foreboding lyrics, "they keep calling me, keep on calling me," gave goosebumps to the listener. I think, Dead Souls was released after Ian Curtis hanged himself.<br /><br />6. Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting<br />A vampire in New Orleans! Imagine Nosferatu (Edward Cullen is a p#$$y!) terrorizing the merry-makers during the Mardi Gras... Now that's a picture.<br /><br />7. Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead<br />One of the greatest Goth bands singing about the death of an actor responsible for the Dracula template. Need I say more?<br /><br />8. Nick Cave &amp; the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand<br />The title was inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost. The song's about the man in black, not the alien-fighting force of Will Smith &amp; Tommy Lee Jones, who will promise you everything ("Stacks of green paper in his Red Right Hand") in exchange for your ...<br /><br />9. Depeche Mode - Fly on the Windscreen<br />I never liked this band but this song's really, really cool. This song could easily come from a George Romero film. "Death is everywhere, There are flies on the windscreen"<br /><br />10. Skinny Puppy - Killing Game<br />Nivek Ogre sung "I taught the killing game first", like he actually taught the killing game first! Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor can't hold a candle to these guys.<br /><br />11. the Cure - Subway Song<br />Before becoming an international phenomenon, the Cure wrote a song about a murderer stalking victims in London's subways. The last portion of this song scared the $h!t out of me when I first heard it in my Walkman.<br /><br />12. Sonic Youth - Death Valley 69<br />The first time I saw the video for this song was also the first I heard the song. It was on a Betamax format filled with videos by the Jam and Sonic Youth among others. The video was so disturbing. It featured the band members murdered in the different parts of the the house. It was a perfect video for the song which is as equally disturbing. Plus the additional vocals by Lydia Lunch added to the doom feel of the song.<br /><br />13. Husker Du - Diane<br />Greg Norton's bass line defined this very dark song about a sexual predator. What's unsettling about this song was how Grant Hart described the details of what the maniac is going to do to Diane after he's finished with her but left the actual rape and murder details to the listeners. Afterall, they're Husker Du and NOT Cannibal Corpse. "We could lay in the weeds for a little while, I'll put your clothes in a nice, neat little pile, you're the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life, It's all over now, and with my knife."<br /><br />14. Samhain - Trouble<br />Glen Danzig loved this song so much he covered it when he was in Samhain and covered it live in Danzig's Thrall/Demon Sweat Live EP. But I included Samhain (pronounced as "sa-wun") because 1. it's an ancient Celtic harvest festival and festival for the dead and it's where the modern-day halloween was derived from and 2. this version has the eerie feel to it especially with the addition of the organ part at the beginning of the song while the live version was just brute force all the way which does not fit the comp's theme. With the lyrics like "My daddy was a demon, werewolf Jack, Because I'm evil, My middle name is misery," it'll definitely end up in a lot of people's halloween playlists.<br /><br />15. the Doors - The End<br />Jim Morrison managed to transform this simple goodbye song into a twisted tale of Oedipus Complex. Hearing Jim sing "Father. Yes son? I want to kill you. Mother, I want to fuck you" will definitely take your breath away and rewind the song just a couple of seconds just to confirm if you heard it right the first time. Lyrically, this song lacks the subtleties of other Morrison's song but packs a wallop for shock value. Great soundtrack for family reunions!<br /><br /><br />Credits:<br /><br />Front Cover by:<br />Erin Emocling<br /><br />Back Cover by:<br />Jenny Palacios-Bautista<br /><br />For the Blank CDs:<br />Lena Johnston<br /><br />Model:<br />Barbara Anne<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3zyktkndidt">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-4471535455091144408?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-55773259953268435842009-10-16T07:19:00.000-07:002009-10-16T07:21:01.309-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiBKxJlxOI/AAAAAAAABAI/rK5aTG4G9Qc/s1600-h/scream-sun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiBKxJlxOI/AAAAAAAABAI/rK5aTG4G9Qc/s320/scream-sun.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393202575768405218" /></a><br /><br /><br />Don’t call this a comeback! <br /><br />I always wanted to say that. Hehehe. Anyways, for my ‘comeback’ post, I give you Have Heart, a Boston-based (Massachusetts actually) straight-edge hardcore band best-known for their ‘Posicore’ stance. Actually, I have no idea who these guys are until they came here early this year during their ‘farewell’ World Tour which I wasn’t able to catch. (Yeah, I’m a moron for not knowing this band and missing the gig and a lot ‘moroner’ for admitting it. I can actually pretend I’ve been listening to these guys for years but that’s not just my style.) So, I asked a friend of mine if he actually knew Have Heart and if he has records of them. He said he would rip and e-mail me his Have Heart CDs. And I also asked his permission to post them and he obliged though he doesn’t want to be named. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I do. And thanks to you my friend, you known who you are.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mzno2yjtrwz">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5577325995326843584?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-40576446482783307422009-10-16T07:17:00.001-07:002009-10-16T07:18:56.355-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiAkI78xKI/AAAAAAAABAA/Uqw1L19uOkg/s1600-h/things-carry.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiAkI78xKI/AAAAAAAABAA/Uqw1L19uOkg/s320/things-carry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393201912138744994" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mytflwnjmim">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-4057644648278330742?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-83051975816793847552009-10-16T07:15:00.000-07:002009-10-16T07:17:01.127-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiAMhIFGzI/AAAAAAAAA_4/t9nFcqGZ1wc/s1600-h/cant-home.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/StiAMhIFGzI/AAAAAAAAA_4/t9nFcqGZ1wc/s320/cant-home.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393201506315213618" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mwbcohgzkin">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-8305197581679384755?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-27753848287738518742009-10-12T21:34:00.000-07:002009-10-12T21:36:07.172-07:00Hello friends, I'm back!!!<br /><br />First up, I'm sorry for the recent non-activity since I was really busy lately. In case you don't know it yet, I'm taking another course (my second) and thinking of a career shift. I'm in my final year so there are lots of things to do such as oral and written revalida, reports and papers to submit. Plus the fact that I'm a father of two wonderful boys, Dylan and Tommy. What can I say, they are a handful and needs constant attention.<br /><br />Anyways, my schedule's clearing up so expect posting to resume any day now. I didn't know I'm gonna miss this since I'm actually contemplating of quitting this blogging business. Then I realized that this helps me keep my sanity from school/hospital work.<br /><br />So there you go I'm here to stay!<br /><br />It's nice to be back!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-2775384828773851874?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-20557550679646482052009-08-17T21:41:00.000-07:002010-06-12T22:00:38.599-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SooxMGzxKfI/AAAAAAAAA_w/wNCjIUWk8bc/s1600-h/Katrina%27s+Live.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 206px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SooxMGzxKfI/AAAAAAAAA_w/wNCjIUWk8bc/s320/Katrina%27s+Live.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371159589648673266" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">It seems a lot of you wanted a copy of this classic release from TRC.

His death was over-shadowed by the death of the King of Pop and a 70’s icon. They all died the same day, I think. Anyways, the Seeds influence on punk was as vital as say the Stooges, Motor City 5, the Standells and the Sonics. I first read about them when they were mentioned with the artists I just mentioned. So, I scoured the local record stores, especially the second-hand shops the releases of these bands. I first scored Stooges’ Fun House, MC5’s Kick Out the Jams, and the Seeds’ self-titled album plus the New York Dolls’ debut and Velvet Underground’s Loaded.<br /><br />They all sounded differently yet their attitude comes across big time! They’re garage sound is what appealed to me the most. While Iggy and the gang and MC5 exudes the kind of danger and urgency they’re known for, the Seeds, on the other hand, explored the psychedelic track with pop sensibilities which is more akin with 13th Floor Elevators’.<br />Ramones’s owed a lot to the Seeds as much as the Stooges. And to pay homage to the Seeds, the Ramones covered Can’t Seem to Make You Mine from this album on their all covers record called Acid Eaters.<br />Enjoy!<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nywnijndyum">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5220522226540349435?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-21256895916099678392009-08-16T06:12:00.001-07:002009-08-16T06:18:37.659-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SogF8ebhUjI/AAAAAAAAA_g/WU881dVdLFM/s1600-h/web+of+sound.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SogF8ebhUjI/AAAAAAAAA_g/WU881dVdLFM/s320/web+of+sound.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370549092158100018" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the Seeds debut album, and man what a debut.

Why? Because I read somewhere that Graham Parker was the “angry young man.” So I was expecting loud, very loud music. And boy I was so wrong. Instead of loud music, I got a rock album reminiscent of Van Morrison. Though I have to admit it has great tunes in it, it wasn’t what I expected. What do you expect, I’m younger, louder and snottier then.<br /><br />Fast-forward to 1990’s, I started listening to Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Van Morrison and the like. I remembered Graham Parker. It was only then that I appreciated this album. It’s not uncommon that I hated an album now and ended up liking it years later. This is no exception, this is a truly classic!<br /><br />So what are you waiting for?

And I wasn’t pretty impressed with Paul Westerberg’s solo efforts though I got to admit that I have still got to hear his albums. I only based it on the songs from the Singles OST which were good but not what I expected.<br /><br />But it’s a totally different story with Tommy Stinson’s first post-Mats project called Bash &amp; Pop. I have to admit that the album is uneven, probably because of the group’s in-fighting and rumors have it that Tommy did most of the album himself. It surely lacks cohesion but songs like Never Aim to Please, the fast rocker aptly titled Fast &amp; Hard and the very catchy single Loose Ends made this album worth listening to.<br /><br />I remembered reading about Bash &amp; Pop in Cream magazine never knowing who were the members were. After learning it was Tommy Stinson’s new band. I went straight to the local record store and bought the cassette. I wasn’t impressed but not disappointed either.<br /><br />The thing is, Friday Night is Killing Me is not a must-have say like Pleased to Meet Me, but it’s a great record nonetheless.<br /><br />I recently saw the CD in a bargain bin of Music One and bought it for Php 150 or roughly 3 dollars.

And he was kind enough to lend me some, I barely remember the records I borrowed, Agnostic Fronts’ Cause for Alarm, Killing Joke’s Revelation, Lords of the New Church’s Dance With Me single, and this one from Suburban Lawn. I have to be honest, I don’t know at the time what their music was. I just borrowed it because their name was I think cool. I remember clearly that I was so disappointed because I think they sounded “silly.” But now that I’m older and wiser (yeah right!), I kind of dig their music now that’s why I’m posting it now. This is really a cool record in retrospect – hated it then, love it now. Hearing the song “Janitor” again really brings back memories of late night taping, and hanging out with my friends.<br /></div><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?42cntmz2gyn">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-6617185570309850840?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-74401401821545159922009-07-05T04:44:00.000-07:002009-07-05T04:49:16.907-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SlCSPoVkULI/AAAAAAAAA9o/rN1Q5c1vA6c/s1600-h/Psi+Com+-+1985+-+Psi+Com.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SlCSPoVkULI/AAAAAAAAA9o/rN1Q5c1vA6c/s320/Psi+Com+-+1985+-+Psi+Com.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354940754167091378" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Psi Com is a Goth Band from L.A. and it’s single “Ho Ka Hey” received an extensive airplay from the coolest local radio station here in Manila, WXB 102.7 FM because their guitarist Vince Duran is a Filipino.<br /><br />By the way, did I mentioned this was the first band of Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros fame?

Of course, members of this insane band came from Left For Dead, Chokehold, the Swarm, and the Cursed. After releasing several singles and splits with Fucked Up and Oxbaker just to name a few, they’re long-awaited full-length album was finally released in 2002.<br /><br />Twenty five songs about cops (and how they hate them!), skateboarding and lots more. It included the cover "Burning Chemicals", originally done by the NUNFUCKERS, "A Million More Dead Cops" (MDC), "Life, Love, Revenge" (UNBROKEN), and "From the Cradle, to the Pavement" (SUBHUMANS). These guys are very pissed and reminded me of Infest a lot, which is a very good thing if you may ask. Add in Pushead’s artwork and it’s truly a killer!<br /><br /><br />Don’t take my word for it, here’s what the ‘pros’ have to say:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thrash N Burn (Finland)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“BEST RECORD OF 2002!? Awesome heavy hardcore combining thrashy speed, great riffs, heavy mosh parts and a rude as fuck attitude. Haymaker brings the shit - negative hardcore 2002!”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Aversionline.com</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“Slightly raw and heavy old school hardcore with all the speed and anger one would expect from the genre. They blaze through 25 songs in 22 minutes, and they mean fuckin' business. Obviously the songs almost never hit the one minute mark, but the writing is still intense as hell, and they know how to pack a fucking punch in 45 seconds or less that's for damn sure. There are tons of brutal breakdowns, but not in a goofy metalcore sense, they just add some flare to the tracks and are also a little bit darker somehow, which is unusual. They also thrown down a cover of the Nunfuckers' "Burning Chemicals", and it's incredible! If this is any indication of what the Nunfuckers had to offer back in the 80's, I've got some hunting to do! The production works out fine. Ever! ything is pretty even as far as both tones and the mix are concerned. I'd turn up the bass a little bit, being careful not to muddy up the sound. But other than that I have no qualms. The guitars are rugged but mesh perfectly with the vicious vocal shouts/screams, the drums are natural and do their thing, etc. The cover art is done by Pushead, so you know what to expect there. Skulls, eyeballs, the usual. The color scheme seems different from his other work, but whatever. The lyrics are bitter as hell and attack various topics, but humorous song titles like "God Can Fuck Hymnself" and "Who Wants to Kill a Millionaire?" should offer some insight there. But don't get the wrong idea, there's some serious shit here too, "Believe everything you fuckin' see, 'Cause those in charge wouldn't lie, Rest assured while you're sleeping, They're creating new ways for you to dieSÿ" This is an awesome fucking record. As with the vast majority of bands that play this style, Haymaker isn't exa! ctly doing something new, but I do feel like they have more to offer than a lot of the other bands out there, and they are leaning towards a sound that has enough diversity to really make a difference. Definitely recommended. There's only so much to say about a CD like this, but it fucking kills, so check it out.“</span><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?24ydghk2mmm">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-4644389307398007752?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-5602463166551540822009-06-30T05:43:00.000-07:002009-07-05T04:37:09.461-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkoIqWdXr1I/AAAAAAAAA9Q/I14sAWl0MFY/s1600-h/scratch+acid.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 197px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkoIqWdXr1I/AAAAAAAAA9Q/I14sAWl0MFY/s320/scratch+acid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353100630759550802" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Scratch Acid played a huge part in the noisy underground movement of the 1980s; they took punk to the dirtiest, dingiest mudhole they could find and sullied it from top to bottom until it looked and sounded like some hell-bound bogeyman. It's not too far-fetched to think of Scratch Acid as the American equivalent of the Birthday Party, the Texans donning the mantle that was dropped when the BP disbanded. The Greatest Gift contains everything the band ever recorded, including a few lo-fidelity instrumentals. Scratch Acid never received the notice it deserved, but the musicians could pound out brilliantly frenzied and highly original post-punk/noise rock that sometimes rivals the material released by singer David Yow and bassist David Sims' future (and much more well known) project, the Jesus Lizard. The first eight songs were originally released in 1984 as an eponymous EP; from the opening crashing bars of "Cannibal" to the terrifying lyrics heard on "Lay Screaming" (a song which reads like something culled from a medieval book about torture), this band obviously never had any desire to control itself. Only one slight reprieve can be found in the relatively tender "Owner's Lament," a song replete with weeping strings. Songs nine through 20 first saw the light of a sickly day as Just Keep Eating, Scratch Acid's one and only full-length that found the band expanding its musical palette: insane noise rock numbers ("Eyeball," "Holes"), jaunty, faux lounge grooves ("Amicus"), goofy Zeppelin-esque riffs ("Cheese Plug"), and a spot-on cover of the Webber-Rice rocker "Damned for All Time," complete with exclamatory horns. The remainder of the disc comprises the songs from their definitive statement, the 1987 Berserker EP. A little more money went into this recording; as the sound quality is better than on Just Keep Eating, it was definitely worth it. "Mary Had a Little Drug Problem" and "Flying Houses" are whirlwinds of pounding drums, foreboding basslines, and scathing, blinding guitar phrases. The band never played so well or wrote better songs. Highly recommended to any Jesus Lizard fan and noise rock/hardcore punk aficionado.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5xmwqmmmme2">Download Here</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-560246316655154082?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-16463697904279454792009-06-24T23:51:00.000-07:002009-06-24T23:55:24.539-07:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkMepIagcyI/AAAAAAAAA9I/8iOVxUbA2is/s1600-h/front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkMepIagcyI/AAAAAAAAA9I/8iOVxUbA2is/s320/front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351154474228413218" border="0" /></a>We went to my sister’s house in Antipolo (a suburb of Manila) during the Independence Day long weekend. I have nothing to do much there since there’s no Internet connection and all, so I dusted off my DVD collection I left there when my wife &amp; I decided to live in the city. I found my Richard Thompson DVD when he played the Austin City Limits show. It showcased the whole concert, not just the 30 minutes of performance featured in the said TV show. It reminded me how much I worshipped this guy’s guitar playing. The set was half acoustic and the other half electric. With him was a guy on an upright bass and a drummer. That’s it! But this guy rocked the audience like no other. So upon returning to the city, I immediately put on the Shoot Out the Lights CD. This record still kicks my ass, not the ass kicking I get with say ENT but a different kind of kick altogether.<br /><br />He recorded this album with his wife, alternating vocal duties through out. It was originally released back in 1982 when their marriage was on the brink of disaster. But the songs here were written 1 or 2 years prior so there’s not much of a strain here. There are also hints of Fairport Convention, his former band, especially on Back Street Slide.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.<br /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?cglzbwmzzxj">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-1646369790427945479?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-50361317955249571212009-06-24T23:46:00.000-07:002009-06-24T23:48:31.000-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkMdWxuU3cI/AAAAAAAAA84/55yUqsKs154/s1600-h/microdisney.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SkMdWxuU3cI/AAAAAAAAA84/55yUqsKs154/s320/microdisney.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351153059388251586" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Microdisney, I first heard on WXB 102.7 FM, the sorely missed radio station here in the Manila. I think it was 1984 or 1985 when I heard Harmony Time, and they didn’t play it again (though Birthday Girl received a considerable airplay, since it’s actually the A-side and Harmony Time is the B-Side). But the song stuck in my head like a splinter and I was left hanging all this time.<br /><br />Recently, I asked my friend and partner in crime, the Terrorizer, if he can find me that song. And he actually did. He got it from some long dead blog but the links are still ok. After 20 plus years of searching, I finally get to listen to that song again.<br /><br />Yeah I know, I’m supposed to be punk &amp; hardcore and stuff like that. But I got to admit, I also listen to stuff from Echo &amp; the Bunnymen, Pale Fountains, the Lucy Show and the like. I listen almost about all types of music NOT usually played on the radio (I stopped listening to the radio in 1998 and never looked back).<br /><br />Anyways, I just want to share to you all the things in my playlist. I hope you dig them as much as I do. Enjoy!<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?rvmwytz5zwy">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-5036131795524957121?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-73389567949813837192009-06-17T22:05:00.000-07:002009-06-17T22:12:00.590-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SjnMQob-ytI/AAAAAAAAA8w/pU4bGkvWmPk/s1600-h/Hot_Rats.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 315px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SjnMQob-ytI/AAAAAAAAA8w/pU4bGkvWmPk/s320/Hot_Rats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348530618583927506" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I was listening to Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats the other night and my sister visited us and she was trying to put Tommy, my youngest, to bed. So naturally, I turned off the music. But to our surprise Tommy stood up and looked at me as if saying to turn the music on again. Even my sister knew what Tommy liked and she said to turn on the music. I didn’t know what to think. Does he like Frank Zappa or just any music I put on? So I experimented on different kinds of music. I put on the Dead Kennedys but he didn’t like it. I said to myself, it must’ve have been too noisy for him, he can’t fall asleep. So I put on some Undertones, which is relatively quieter than DK’s. But he still didn’t go to sleep and he was trying to say something to me. Finally, my sister told me to put back what I was listening to before – Zappa. So I did, and lo &amp; behold, he went back to sleep.<br /><br />I was so stoked that my kid likes Zappa more than his father! I have to say, I wasn’t a big Zappa fan and Hot Rats was just recommended to me by my buddy who’s really into that kind of music. Years back, I asked him what album of Zappa he would recommend to me. He knew that aside from punk, hardcore, crust, power pop, etc. I also listen to Miles, Coltrane &amp; Monk. So, he told me that I should start with Hot Rats, given my musical taste and all. So I bough it and actually liked what I heard. But I wasn’t sure why he recommended Hot Rats instead of say Freak Out! I guess, he read me wrong.<br /><br />Anyways, this is a really good record and a great introduction to Zappa if you haven’t heard of him and a shoutout to my son Tommy!<br /><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tlmqmd2mmy2">Download Here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-7338956794981383719?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921596473865586047.post-25847293188648730162009-06-06T20:14:00.000-07:002009-06-06T20:23:04.298-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SiswsVxltPI/AAAAAAAAA8o/BddpzEymrZs/s1600-h/tame.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 291px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oz4NUt7_ShI/SiswsVxltPI/AAAAAAAAA8o/BddpzEymrZs/s320/tame.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344418921122739442" border="0" /></a><br />Tame the Tikbalang is one of my all-time favorite Pinoi bands, playing NYHC inspired music.

I remember back in High School that me and my buddies would cut classes just to watch Decline of Western Civilization, Sid &amp; Nancy, Great Rock n Roll Swindle, the Jam concert , Suburbia in Betamax format. Hahaha, those were the daze.<br /><br />Anyways, the soundtracks here now considered classics. SLC Punk &amp; Suburbia OST’s are no-brainers, it’s up my alley, BUT Valley Girl &amp; Sixteen Candles? Well, I still have my New Wave roots in me. But I got to admit that I haven’t seen Valley Girl though I recently bought the DVD in “pirate land.” While I saw Sixteen Candles years later after its release in a local channel. My friend bought me the Sixteen Candles Soundtrack and a New Order Maxi Single (Thieves Like Us) when he got back from Japan. I sold the Thieves Like Us single but kept the Sixteen Candles OST. Also, the Less Than Zero SOundtrack is amazing simply because of Slayer’s version of In A Gadda Da Vida alone. Just like March Violet’s version of the Rolling Stone’s classic Miss Amanda Jones in the Some Kind of Wonderful OST.<br /><br />And who can forget Pump Up the Volume (which includes contributions from the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden just to name a few) or Some Kind of Wonderful<br /><br />Personally, I was never a fan of teen flicks such as Pretty in Pink and the like, and the only reason why I watched them was because of the soundtracks.<br /><br />Anyways, hope you liked my little nostalgia trip!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?egm04yzkjic">Download Here</a><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921596473865586047-6471518770928326944?l=anthemsfromthealleyways.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Punk Rock Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09252558761555062236noreply@blogger.com11
