Blood robots were a four piece band from the north east of England. They were going from 1982 - 1984 after punk rock had exploded and was going into its third wave. Post punk had come after the first wave where bands used the idea of getting up and doing it themselves but concentrated on the rhythm and the isolation. It then evolved into different styles like veins in your arms heading in different directions.
Oh my lord it’s play of the day
The soundtrack for a person kidnapped, blindfolded and bound. You have been brought into a forest, you know as you can smell the wood and pine cone. You can feel the dampness that the tree protrude. The life of the forest. It's pitch black and you've no idea where you are or how to get anywhere.
Play of the day keep taking liquids
It spits, it sneers and then crawls out from the garage. Liquids are from Indiana and their new record gets the Drunken Sailor treatment.
Pollen remember when you were my friend
Pittsburgh punks have re-released their sophomore album, 'Crescent,' for the first time ever on vinyl, out now via Double Helix Records. These are songs full of pace change and structure to keep you thinking as they speed pop into your veins. We spoke with Drummer Bob Hoag about the experience
Play of the day ain’t no tourists
Despondency is a recurring theme in the record. (former) youth living in cities they don't wanna live in, working jobs they don't want under a regime they don't like. The perfect recipe for straight forward mid tempo punk rock.
Play of the day is not to be dumped
The 6 songs here have 1 song over 1 minute long. They come and go just as quick as I’m left wanting more and wanting to find out more.
Play of the day from the Blood of the sun
If the idea of spinning in a vortex as you move from one dimension to the next appeals then this could be your soundtrack. It drones, they are in no rush to finish their songs. The psychedelic fuzz of the songs repeat while the bass and drums provide a solid retentive background
Play of the day comes with the daylight
With all that sun shining instead of worrying about the effects the changing climate is having our planet and just before we burn to death, take a breath and listen to this joyous pop tune from the workday release.
Play of the day is the mutts nuts
This is the sound of pissed off workers clocking in for day jobs they don't want to get up for. A sound for people that wonder about the mindless alcohol fuelled violence of weekend binges while understanding why people seek escape.
Play of the day are still wonking away
Eight albums in and there is no feet stepping of pedals or sound mellowing out. It is tuneful, comic and tragic all in one glorious package. Wonk Unit as glorious as ever with latest album
