Come Along On Saturday Morning Greeting Everybody With A Smile” Kicking things

off this week I have two Helsinki bands; one old, one new. First up its Smack

with a classic from their debut album “On You”. Secondly it’s 69 Eyes with a

new track from their soon to be released “Universal Monsters” CD. A couple of

shows ago I played some Pure Hell, well I play some more but this time it’s a

track from their unreleased “Black Box” album that Lemmy helped produce and

indeed added vocals to the song in question. Shooting back over to Scandinavia

and new music I play you a track from“Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie” LP byVolbeat.

I only own the debut album by Flotsam and Jetsam subsequently I’ve forgotten

what they sound like, having not played in in 25 plus years. However their new

self-title album I’m really enjoying. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’m

hearing, apart from some great Thrash drumming, hints of Progness. More

Queensrÿche than Dream Theater I think. Obviously I play a track for your

consideration. Gustav Wremer guitarist with Grande Royale contacted me with a

“Check out my band” e-mail, so I did and was mightily impressed, with

NickeAndersson at the production helm of their soon to be recorded third album,

but it’s a track from their second album that I air. Pledge Music time and

Brijitte West &The Desperate Hopefuls have just ventured down this route

for album number two. Brijitte kindly sent me a track from said album which I

of course play. Joining the former NY Loose vocalist in the Desperate Hopefuls

are Richie Hudson, Keef Gibbs and Robin Guy from the Fiascos, although Robin

can normally be found sitting on Sham 69’s drum stool. Following straight on

afterwards is the title track from The Breakdowns new single “Charity Case”.

The WitchDoktors new album “Voodoo Eye” and first since

2008s “$3 Hooker” is all set for release with a gig to launch it at The Alley

Cat in Denmark Street on June 2nd and to whet your appetite I play a

song from it. As promised on last week’s show I play a track from Desert

Rockers the Mojave Lords album “Unfuckwithable”. Zen Motel make a much welcomed

return to The Paranoid Squirrel with a track from their just released “Choking

On The Chrome (Part 1) ep. Looking forward to part 2 if part 1 is anything to go

by. A new, previously unheard live gig from Sonic’s Rendezvous Band recorded in

April 1976 is just about to be officially released by Easy Action Records.

Joining Fred “Sonic” Smith, Scott “Rock Action” Asheton and Scott Morgan on

this recording is original bassist WR Cooke. Finishing things off this week its

Vice Squad and a track from the Sophie Lancaster Foundation Charity CD which is

due for release this Summer.
