Continuing on with the excellent series of benefits is the latest Locked in the dressing Room comps. As the light is starting to emerge on live music once again it will be more difficult to remember how many venues and staff were left with no income. For most reading this blog live music was a pulse we clung on to. We looked forward to the camaraderie of gigs, the explosion of sound and sight on stage as our world revolved so much around music. That came to a halt as we re-assesed and some tried to recreate that experience online. But it was difficult. Live In the Dressing Room was created to show support to venues by the musicians.
Play of the day The Deathset can tune more than parrots
Three is definitely a crowd for the death set, a power pop punk rock fuzzed up duo with synths, drum machines tunes and noise aplenty. Blistering and poppy third album
Celebrating 20 years of positivity
Punk rock, cut and paste, 40 issues and 2 decades on from its first issue Positive Creed is still coming out with great regularity
Play of the day Sympos like their punk rock and free chips
This is emo without the emotion, songs that are all meaningful to these three lads in Waterford but I'm sure any samll group of working class individuals may feel something similar as they grow up wondering what's going on. If the young Offenders moved across the border from cork and started a punk band this is what it would be like
Play of the day – Screamo punks form italy Bennett
Italian 4 peace screaming and emo-ing their way through these 6 songs. Full of intensity and noise and screams
Play of the day I’m sure it’s a vegan Hamburger
Tunes just getting ready to break through. Beautiful sounds preparing us all for the freedom. Get your teeth into this vegan pop feast
Play of the day – the man is (not) Ignorant
The sound here is as good as any recording I’ve heard Steve play on. The feeling bleeds through the speakers. It’s not something that would win a song contest and I’m sure Steve is fine with that. It’s him stripped bare and raw.
Play of the day – the boys are getting Oily
Take a journey through the darkness and intense world of oily boys. where each song merges into the other exploding through your speakers. It almost feels like they are trying to wake you from a comfort zone and unsettle through the noise.
Play of the day Canadian Anti Fascist Street Punks Back Breaker
Kitchener punks with 5 songs saluting the working class and those fighting fascism. Back breaker are wearing their heart on whatever patch they put on their harrington jackets. They want us to raise our fists and voices, for workers to stick together and most importantly of all avoid blaming the vulnerable for the issues of the world.
Play of the day – Bobby is a singer
When Olivier wanted to put a project together on the noisier sphere of punk rock he couldn't find anyone to assist so in true punk rock fashion he has done it himself. This album is a complete find for me. One that has me screaming phonetically along to the noise on offering from this French musician.
