Cracked Off With The Fever

Ah, that dreaded day back after a long weekend. Well, hopefully these two balltearers will propel you in the right direction, kicking and screaming all the way.


That pesky Off! album is finally, FINALLY out today! And here is another track off it. I love that so many are being drip-fed to the rabid masses. Sure, most of the album will be accessible in bite-size pieces all over the Net, but that is punk! Give the fans what they want. And I need no nonsense punk to the crotch, stat.

Off! - Cracked

Ah fuck it - here is the whole album!


And of course we have this London trio to make sure this raging high is maintained. New track 'The Chair' is Fever Fever's first true single, and was put out yesterday through Kissability (whose first release was the UK distribution of Brisbane wunderkinds DZ Deathrays' Ruined My Life EP - they know their shit). It offers a more bridled facet of the trio, yet is still ballsy and plays with convention a lot, two things these Norwich hellraisers will always have in spades. This track is actually a bit like Blood Red Shoes, but not crap (Ill admit I used to like BRS, but I think they have disappeared down the mainstream/pretension hole...) Buy the cassingle here - these kids just keep getting better. They are playing The Great Escape this weekend too - check em out if you are there.

DZ Kick The Drums & Get No Sleep With Arj


Two pieces of DZ Deathrays goodness to wake you up, all in preparation for their dropping of their Bloodstreams LP (through I Oh You Records) next month.

First up is just a cameo appearance, but it still captures the party atmosphere the Brisbane duo are making their own. The track, 'Want My Blood' by The Kickdrums, is production heavy, and not usually my kinda thing, but it's not that bad. Makes me laugh, at the very least...

Secondly we have the official video for the track 'No Sleep'. It features the duo alongside the extremely loud and incredibly close (that's in demeanour, no as in the great book or the terrible movie) comedian Arj Barker, in a straight out parody of Paul Simon's 'You Can Call Me Al', which has Chevy Chase in the Barker role. It's great, especially the dogs at the end.



And in case you don't know the Simon/Chase "classic", here it is also. Enjoy kids!
