to This week’s episode of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. I start this show

off with three tracks in that wonderful format of vinyl. The tracks in question

are two by Johnny Thunders from the just released Remarquable Records “So Alone”

double LP, with the third track a Damned 7” taken from “The Black Album” albeit

in a slightly different mix. New music comes courtesy of the 69 Eyes and a track

taken from their forthcoming album “Universal Monster” with Crow Dancers

quickly following in their wake with their debut track. Punk stalwarts The

Members and Johnny Moped have just had new albums released. “One Law” and “It’s

A Real Cool Baby” respectively. Obviously a track from each is aired. Bernie Tormé

is up next as his Horsham gig on the 23rd clashes with Johnny Moped’s

at The Lexington and as I can’t be in two places at once I try and make up for

missing Bernie by playing a track form his very excellent “Blackheart” LP. At

this point I time travel back to the mid 70’s and New York City to play some

Pure Hell. Up until a few days ago the only Black pre-Bad Brains Punk Band that

I knew about was Death. Well that’s all changed and I just can’t believe it’s

taken me all this time to find out about Pure Hell. Sticking with NYC I play a

track from the 40th Anniversary version of The Dictators “Go Girl

Crazy” and briefly revisit The Ramones Competition. New music once again in the

form of Gorilla, who sound like classic era Motörhead but instead of just Fast

Eddie, Brian James has been drafted in sharing guitar duties and handling lead

vocals and new band to me from South West England Grifter, who have a split LP

out on the 15th via on Hevisike Records. Finishing things off this

week are Belleville Compression from Sweden. Go forth and enjoy!
