Metal Militia - all things rock, punk and metal

[Not in Crawley]

To stop spoiling the elite music thread for those that don't give a shit about big hair and big guitars, maybe we should put Nu-Metal and Grindcore squabbling on a separate thread?

I'm starting with today the mighty Wildhearts release 21st Century Love Songs, looking forward to gettiing stuck in later.

Bought tickets for Skindred and Royal Republic in October last night. No idea why I didn't have tickets already it's a cracking bill.

My first post lockdown gig is on the 19th of this month. Going watching Massive Wagons at the academy.

Still need to buy Jinjer's new album, the singles off it have been tougher to get into than their previous stuff. Right at the top of my must see live list, though they're an incredible band.

A lad I know drummed for bands called aghast, corpsing and krysthla, which all sound like the sort of band names suitable for this thread. Anyway his new band is called cage fight and their usp is the lead singer is a girl with long hair who screams rather than a man with long hair who screams. I`m led to believe they are very good and thought you may appreciate it on here.

Half way through the Wildhearts - not as good as their last album, some great riffs but all a bit one note . I can understand why they are taking Discharge out on tour with them as it's really spit in your face heavy punk at times.

Anyway ABBA have got some new stuff out 

[Whitestar]

Did a job yesterday  for an old geezer who said he used to drive tour buses for bands and that Tony Hadley had once had a shower at his house and that a band called Planet Gong (one for the swan cellar lads) had their own cannabis farm in the Pyrenees on the French/Spain border and played festivals there.

Please define ‘very good’ because my ears must be fucked.

In fact, I’d go as far as to say it sounds like the lead “singer” is the Tasmanian Devil.

 

[Nowack]

I agree, I asked to see what others who listen to this sort of stuff think. I have been to a few gigs and I genuinely cannot tell one song from the other but the people are fun to watch and unbelievably nice.

Part way through Lancaster music festival a couple of years back we were watching some American punk/thrash/ f*****n noise band they were awful but part way through a track of awful noise the female lead pulls out a clarinet and thinks she's akka fuckin bilk, most people were outa the place by then and they were supposed to be good.

It’s long.

They’re of a certain age now, but the quality is still there

I'm going to have to check them out, off to Black Stone Cherry on the Ipswich Saturday. I like it a bit more soulful, wife likes it hard

Got a couple of very good tunes have BSC the singers Kentucky accent is perfect for their stadium rock sound.

Even though this more chilled out track is probably my favourite of theirs

Wifey likes Magic Mountain

But she also likes Volbeat so that explains a lot.

I'm more bluesy

Any mention of Volbeat and this video of Evelyn with Barney Greenaway (of Napalm Death fame) looking like a lost middle aged dad springs straight to the front of my mind

I was at that Steve Hillage gig at MTTH circa 1979, think it was the Green album tour.

 

Are you called Tony?

MFTH. Soz

I'm a Geoff, are you thinking of Ticklepants?

I think Mr Hillage was in Gong when I saw them at the Free Trade Hall but I did see him with his own band at Leeds Uni
