London Bloomsbury Lanes (Punk N Bowl 3)
December 20th 2009
This song from one of the UK's favourite young garage punk bands shows the intensity of vocalist Louis and a crowd suitably lapping it up. Sneering and leaping around the stage, he's a fantastic frontman that has helped to earn The Shitty Limits an impressive reputation for having a killer live show. If you love Angry Samoans and The Sonics then check out these guys. Hopefully they'll play more gigs soon!
This track is taken from their 'Limits Appear' 7", out now (hurry, it's been repressed then it's gone) on Keep Screaming Records.

BROTHERS The Ballad Of Ellen Cherry
London Bloomsbury Lanes (Punk N Bowl 3)
December 20th 2009
Here's another great song from the Exeter punks that consist of former and current members of Dead City Stereo and The Cut Ups. Once Ben is done having his photo taken (jokes), they blast into this rousing This song, "the slow one", shows the power of the dual vocals of Ben and Anna and the powerhouse drumming of Rez. When it speeds up 3/4 of the way through, it's an awesome moment. Getting more impressive with every gig, Brothers are ones you need to check out if you like your melodic punk raw and rocking and bands such as None More Black and Discount.
This song is taken from their debut EP, which you can download for free from their MySpace page!

BANGERS John Shoe
London Bloomsbury Lanes (Punk N Bowl 3)
December 20th 2009
Finally, here's the first of the Punk N Bowl 3 videos! This is a new song from Falmouth's finest, with the working title (although I've been assured it will change) of 'John Shoe'. Roo told me that it's called that at the moment because John of The Cut Ups would like the song/lyrics (can't remember which he said) apparently. Well I'm sure he will because it's another anthemic and raw melodic punk corker from the Cornwall trio with a great guitar line at the end to boot. More Punk N Bowl videos as soon as I manage to sort out my broken/cripplingly slow internet.
This song is set to appear on an upcoming split with San Francisco gruff punks Nothington, due out later this year.

OFFSHORE RADIO Heaven
Leeds Brudenell Social Club
December 17th 2009
It was an awesome night, with Offshore playing alongside The Magnificent, Leatherface and Dillinger Four. This great Leeds/Sunderland punk supergroup (yeah, I went there!) features members/ex-members of the likes of The Dauntless Elite, The Mercury League and Fig. 4.0 and always put on an anthemic and passionate performance. Influenced by the likes of The Clash, Dillinger Four and Cock Sparrer, it's a powerful yet catchy sound. This sing-along shows how their old school/pop punk brilliance and three-way vocals are sure to have you grinning from ear to ear!
This song is taken from their raw but infectious 4-track demo that weirdly, I bought last October in Wayward Council in Gainesville, Florida but have never seen the band selling at gigs. Maybe ask them next time you see them or drop them an email.

CAVES 200 Miles
Bristol The Fleece
December 12th 2009
This new Bristol trio are one hell of a lot of fun and if you like Discount, Lemuria and Superchunk then they're right up your alley. With infectious hooks, big melodies and powerful vocals they're already causing excitement and I loved them when I caught them in their hometown recently. It's not often anymore that you see a band without having heard them and it was a good feeling to be simply blown away by their energy and tunes.
The three-piece of Louise, Michael and David will release their debut 7" through Specialist Subject in mid January, although this track will not feature on the recording. Also, catch them on tour around the UK in January.

LEATHERFACE I Want The Moon / Not Superstitious
Kingston Fighting Cocks
December 13th 2009
A late but hearty merry Christmas to all of you! I've been very busy in the run up to Christmas and since heading back to Chester for the holidays I have been denied the joys of the 21st century (the internet). However, I've managed to get access long enough to add these two videos from the storming Leatherface set in Kingston. Hope you like them (especially Josh) and there will be more videos from all over up before the end of '09.
Both these songs are also taken from 1991's 'Mush', out now on Fire (guess which my favourite album is!).

LEATHERFACE Springtime
Kingston Fighting Cocks
December 13th 2009
This is the smallest venue I've seen Leatherface in and it's probably the best I've seen them too. With a crowd who are understandably well up for the Sunderland gruff punk legends (after all, they don't make it down south too often), it was a blast from start to finish and frontman Frankie Stubbs was clearly loving every minute. His distinctive vocals, shuffle dancing and insanely infectious choruses made this easily one of the shows of the year. And yes, that's Duncan from Snuff on drums too. For anyone that doesn't know, Leatherface were a huge influence on Hot Water Music and the whole Gainesville, FL sound. Anyway, you pobably know so sorry, enough babble from me. Enjoy! There's a little bit of springtime in the back of my mind...
This song is taken from the seminal 1991 Leatherface album 'Mush', out now on Fire. I'm heading up north for a couple of days but if you'd like to see a couple more videos of songs from this stunning show then comment (on the blog please, not the YouTube) and, if there's demand, I'll post them this weekend.
