Bad Religion: All Our Yesterdays (Live, 1983)

Hey, please come check out our Ten Bad Religion TV appearances over at The Big Takeover!

Considering it's from '83 this Bad Religion, All Our Yesterdays, bootleg has surprisingly strong sound quality. While the encore of piss-takes of  rock n' roll standards is only funny once, the full-on guitar-centered takes on two songs from the long-disavowed keyboard-heavy Into the Unknown LP are are of inestimable historical value. Enjoy, coReligionists!

Cleveland's Screaming 1981 - 1983 Documentary about the Cleveland H/C Scene

Clevland's Screaming, a lo-fi, low-light documentary on one local hardcore scene, is the kind of labour-of-love/by-product-of-hate that dozens of North American cities could have produced. Filmmaker/author and zen-punk Brad Warner documents the trials and tribulations of far-from-famous bands like Zero Defects, Starvation Army, Urban Mutants, Offbeats as well as numerous scenesters with great humanity. It's an arresting mix of new interviews and rough archival footage that rips along like the genre it documents.





Thanks to David McLean for pointing out this rough cut of the film!

Wreckless Eric: Live!

Hey, please come check out these Ten Amazing Wreckless Eric Videos over at the THE BIG TAKEOVER!


Here's an undated but good-sounding Wreckless Eric (more HERE) solo set. Since it features a reading from his book 2004 autobiography "A Dysfunctional Success", a run-through of his 2002 single "Continuity Girl" and no mention of Amy Rigby we can safely assume this is from the earlier part of the 2000's.
Update: reader, Allan, suggest this is from Bonaventure Social Club 05.04.2006.

Paul Weller: Into Tomorrow (Full Documentary)

As a North American it can be weird to review the career of Paul Weller. Not only did The Jam, The Style Council and his solo career never break big, even his cult following here never had the sheer obsessiveness of say, a Morrisey or a Robert Smith. While I see Weller is one of the greatest English song-writers of all time (heady company, indeed), I've always felt part of a fairly soft-spoken minority. Now back home in England Weller is revered as "The Modfather", patron saint of every Englishmen with a ringing guitar and a sneering hook. So watching this excellent documentary on the man's career can be both bewildering and faith-affirming - enjoy!

Wreckless Eric's Hitsville House Band (1994)

By 1994, Wreckelss Eric (more HERE) had created another short-lived ensemble, oddly named, the Hitsville House Band. There's no drastic change in the Wreckless one's sound on the group's lone album, 12:00 Stereo, other than Eric's delving deeper into American country music. Like his first producer, Nick Lowe, Eric's work has always been inflected with steely melodies and emotional nakedness of country song-writing. "Guitar-Shaped Swimming Pool" (with its tip of the Stetson to Webb Pierce) and "Friend's on the Floor" (which squashes most Nashville song-writing beneath it's heel) represent the gut-bucket country aspect of the album. While raw, primal rock n' country courses through the album's grooves, Eric hasn't stopped writing pop songs like, "The Girl With the Wandering Eye", a devastatingly melodic post-mortem on love lost.


 




The Hitsville House Band were, according, to the liner notes:

DENIS BAUDRILLART -- drumset and maracas
ERIC GOULDEN -- succession of crapped-out guitars and organs, vocal
FABRICE LOMBARDO -- double bass, bass guitar, Javanese toe flute
André Barreau -- extra guitars, harmony vocals
Michael Lembach -- trumpet
Christoph Linder -- tenor & baritone saxes





MRML Readers,whaddaya think of this particular phase in Eric's ever-shifting muddle!!

The Dropkick Murphys: The Boys are Back (2013)

Much of The Dropkick Murphys (more HERE) surprising success is attributable to their focus on making giant-sized punk-folk-rock sound work both in arenas/stadiums/diamonds and movie theaters. By bringing the likes of the Bruins and Scorsese to their side, they've been able to prosper in this musician-unfriendly century. Whether you think they're simply formulaic or impressively consistent (as I do) you have to admire their survival skills.





HOMEPAGE

The Evaporators: Bunk (2012)

Narduar the Human Serviette (who we've discussed at length HERE) has a new compilation out, which incudes a cranking 1:47 blast called "Bunk' from own band, The Evaporars!





HOMEPAGE

Wreckless Eric: Continuity Girl/Sweet Jane (2002)

Wreckless Eric (more HERE) popped his head above the parapet in 2002 with this single featuring one original and a Velvet Underground cover.
