RUM 011 BACKSEAT ANGELS Saturday Night Shakes CD THE BACKSEAT ANGELS SATURDAY NIGHT SHAKES My Baby Wants To Brainwash My Mind Saturday Night School Bus Driver Teenage Rock’n’Roller Peppermint Girl Hard To Tame To be A Better Man Pick Up The Phone Crazy Like a Fox Stupid Brats This is What I Get It was the summer of 2015. My former band, the VICE BARONS, was going nowhere fast so we decided to call it a day. At the same time, I was contacted by some loudmouth who had christened himself “Tom The Bomb” and had busted my nuts for weeks to come and play some guitar with him. Since I had nothing better to do, I told him I’d come along but only if we could find a bass player and a drummer. As a matter of fact, I knew that Marc, who drove the van whenever the VB’s went on tour, played some bass. Tom said he knew a drummer. But on the day we finally met, it appeared that the guy wasn’t much of a drummer. So we quickly had to let him go. Drummers have always been a problem ever since. Right now Franck is sitting behind the drum kit. This band wears its influences on its sleeves and it’s obvious we want to combine the swagger of Glam bands like SLADE or SWEET, the snottiness of The BOYS or The UNDERTONES and the catchyness of groups like The Paul Collins’BEAT or The KNACK. In 2016, the fast growing American label RUMBAR records will be releasing our debut full length called “Saturday Night Shakes”. The album provides some crowd favourites such as “My Baby Wants To Brainwash My Mind”, “School Bus Driver” or the moronic “Stupid Brats”. Other newly written tracks like “Peppermint Girl” or “Hard To Tame” display a more glam/footstomping side of the band. In my personal CD collection it will be filed between THE ARROWS (First Hit) and (Drop Out With) THE BARRACUDAS. And this is exactly where it belongs. - ERIC KNOXX, The man with the white Jaguar FOR FANS OF: The Records, The Sweet, Slade, The Boys, The Motors, Bay City Rollers, The Members, The Rumor, Boomtown Rats, Glam, 70’s British Punk, Power Pop.

  • Listening in on Belfast Punk Linsey Mcfadden Photo Courtesy of Sing Sing Records N the Late 1970’S Punk Rock Struck a City Divided by Religion and Politics
    Listening In On Belfast Punk Linsey McFadden Photo Courtesy of Sing Sing Records n the late 1970’s punk rock struck a city divided by religion and politics. A city with an atmosphere permeating with the smell of hatred and fear, security checkpoints marred the entrance to the city centre, while bombings and shootings were commonplace. At Inight the only people that dared to walk the city’s streets were the one’s that enforced the curfews and the ones that broke them— punks. It wasn’t London and it wasn’t New York. They weren’t the only cities to carve out their stake in the punk rock world. Welcome to Belfast, a city where punk rock came at a time when it really made sense. In Northern Ireland, punk rock was never simply a fashion piece to be gawked at. Punk rock came to Belfast at a time of Troubles, a time when the city was more comparable to a warzone than a Western metropolis. It came at a time of blown out buildings, shootings, tense security, intimidation, curfews, and hate. “It was a scary place to be, in the city centre at night,” said Aidan Murtagh of Protex. “People stayed in their own areas where they felt safe. The only people about town at nights were British army, police and punks. These tensions probably added to the way the music was played and performed by many of the bands.” Until the relatively recent release of the Good Vibrations movie, Northern Irish punk had largely been pushed to the background as writers and filmmakers rushed to document the rise of punk in cities like New ork,Y London and L.A.

What questions should historians be asking about UK popular music in the 1970s? John Mullen, Université de Rouen Normandie, Equipe ERIAC One of the most important jobs of the historian is to find useful and interesting questions about the past, and the debate about the 1970s has partly been a question of deciding which questions are important. The questions, of course, are not neutral, which is why those numerous commentators for whom the key question is “Did the British people become ungovernable in the 1970s?” might do well to balance this interrogation with other equally non-neutral questions, such as, perhaps, “Did the British elites become unbearable in the 1970s?” My reflection shows, it is true, a preoccupation with “history from below”, but this is the approach most suited to the study of popular music history.

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

Originally released by Ace in 1974 In 1973 I was sharing a one-room bedsit in Camden with my girlfriend (now my wife) Kathy. The band I’d been with for the last 5 years since leaving home and going on the road had finally returned from Germany broke after having our equipment stolen. I reluctantly got a job cleaning cars at Henley’s Cars for the princely sum of 42 pence an hour. When the initial novelty of doing ‘real work’ with overalls and everything, wore off (after about a week) I was thoroughly miserable, apart from the fact that Kathy and I were madly in love. At some point I got a call from Tex Comer, the bass player in the aforementioned band.

    popular music A Troubles Archive Essay Stuart Bailie Cover Image: Victor Sloan - Market Street, Derry From the collection of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland About the Author Stuart Bailie was on the staff of the NME (New Musical Express) from 1988 to 1996, rising to Assistant Editor in his last three years there.

He has been Associate Producer of several BBC TV music programmes, including the story of Ulster rock and pop: ‘So Hard To Beat’ in 2007. He has also been the scriptwriter / researcher for a series of BBC Radio 2 documentaries on U2, Thin Lizzy and Elvis Costello. Stuart is now CEO of Oh Yeah, a dedicated music centre in Belfast. Popular Music In September 1968 Van Morrison was in NewYork, recording a series of songs about life back in Belfast. This was his Astral Weeks album, one of his most important works. It was also a vivid snapshot of Northern Ireland just before the climate changed dramatically with the outbreak of the Troubles. In Morrison’s sentimental picture, there were youthful voices, parties and high-spirits; flamboyant figures such as Madame George cruised the streets of Belfast as the post-war generation challenged social conventions. The hippy ideals were already receding in America, but Belfast had experienced a belated Summer of Love and a blossoming social life.

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.
