IMIGHT Most Requested), Was the Judgment Night Monious Vocals and Sweeping Lyrical Passages rrior Soul, "Shock Um Down", DGC/Geffen There's been a lot of uncertainty and speculation surrounding Warrior Soul's sta- tus with Geffen of late but, as you can see and hear, the band are on the verge of releasing their fourth album, ("Chill Pill")for the label. As it is, the band has been going through some changes internally, resulting in a new line-up, which boasts two new guitarists (replacing long time member John Ricco) and Mark Evans returning to the drum rostrum (Pete McClanahan continues his role as bassist). Anyone remotely familiar with Warrior Soul's psychedelic/punk rock latitudes can surely envision how totally kicking their material will sound WARRIOR S with two guitars blasting through now. Realize, however, that the album was recorded with the former line-up intact, and so we'll have to wait k until the band hits the road to check out the new, yet to be named. front line. As for Warrior Soul's newly shorn, (yes gals,rock's best locks have given way to a very cool & wild new doo) guiding spirit, Kory Clarke... he's handed down a record that is much less politically motivatedand noticeably more introspective (the title kind of says it all).It is a decidedly different record than the belligerent "Salutations", the radical "Drugs, God..." or the social rally- ing of "Last Decade...".You'll understand exactly what I mean when you hear it - it's quite cool (and very upbeat) and songs like "High Road" are rather unexpected. Back to the present The album is preceded by the punk fueled "Shock Um Down".It provides a great link between the full -on grind of past singles like "Wasteland" or "Blown" and Soul's new stance on life. Extremely aggressive and punchy, it holds to tradition, but imprints a new stage in their career. Check itout and watch for the wild new LP - arriving in a few weeks. leven, "Crash Today", Third Rail/Hollywood Eleven are an interesting proposition for metal radio, because the trio's music isn't necessarily ruled by grungy guitars, distortion, sampling, or anything specifically "metal".They are something altogether more intrigu- ing than one might first suspect. The most familiar name in Eleven, of course, belongs to former Chili Pepper drummer Jack Irons. He is very ably supported by guitarist Alain Johannes, who also shares vocal duties with Natasha Shneider (they sing together and separately on the album). She, by the way, is amazing to watch live since she also maintains bass (left handed yet) and organ duties.Together, the three make a music that threatens heaviness, but rides a more upbeat feel than you may be accustomed to.The first track lifted from the forthcoming self -titled release (their first LP, "Awake In A Dream" was released on Morgan Creek and spent time on the UK Pop charts and 120Minutes) is the melodious, rumble of "Crash Today". Momentarily grinding, the record has almost a dual personality, as it drops into a rather mainstream/poppy sounding chorus (which is actually given a bit more density by the combined vocals).They've toured with the likes of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Mary's Danish so, as you can tell, they straddle the alterna/metal/AOR fences fairly well. Duff, "Believe In Me', DGC/Geffen Now that "Punk Rock Song" has had enough time to make the rounds in the metal world, here comes the full "Believe In Me" album from the tall lanky blonde Gunner. If perhaps the quick punk slap of the lead single was notexact- ly your cup of tea, we can practically guarantee that you will find something on the full album to get you stoked. The title track,in partic- ular, rips open the album in hard rocking fashion, sliced through by a guest solo from Slash. A great deal of the album was recordedrather spon- taneously, so you can count on a very real, very raw edge to a majority of the songs.I still marvel that Duff played almost all the instruments on the record, and I'm sure you will too, when you get a good earful of some of these songs. He's quite a talented pup. Ofcourse, as I mentioned when I wrote up the single, Mr. McKagan has a lot of very cool cameo appearances on the album from the likes of Lenny Kravitz,Sebastian Bach, Bobbie Brown -Lane (backing vocals on "I Love You"), Jeff Beck, Rob Affuso, Snake and various members of GNR among others.You'll find a good chunk of the material on "Believe In Me" very hard hitting and a great kick in the shorts or playlists (whatever the case maybe), so do give "Just Not There", the title cut, "The Majority" (Lenny K on lead vox), "Swamp Song", "Trouble" (Sebastian singin) or "F"ck You" (even if you can't air it) a spin ormore.

  • Rock Weekend
    Achim Schäffer Rock Weekend Leseprobe Billy Joel: Uptown Girl Meine Kindheitswelt in Waghäusel war klein und übersichtlich. So alle 2-3 Jahre bekam unsere Familie weiteren Zuwachs, ehe wir ab 1977 komplett waren. Vier Geschwister, drei Jungen, ein Mädchen. Ab 1978 leisteten wir uns einen jährlichen Sommerurlaub in Ungarn. Ungarn. Die Heimat meiner Großeltern. Die Vorfahren sind vermutlich um 1785 nach Ungarn ausgewandert. Donauschwaben. Die zwischen Donau und Neckar, auf der Schwäbischen Alb liegenden Dörfer litten damals unter Verheerungen der andauernden Kriegszüge. Auch das Anerbrecht (Ahnenerbe) – welches ein Kind als Alleinerben vorsieht – trug dazu bei, dass für viele Dorfbewohner die Auswanderung als einziger Ausweg übrigblieb. Die verlockenden Angebote des Ansiedlungspatents: Völlige Glaubensfreiheit, Haus, Feld und die dazugehörenden Wirtschaftsgeräte wie Zuchttiere. Für Handwerker 50 Gulden zur Einrichtung ihrer Werkstatt und vor allem die 10- jährige Steuer- und Abgabenfreiheit stimmten die letzten Zweifelnden positiv. Und so siedelten sie sich im Dorf Kirwa (Mariahalom), ca. 40 Kilometer nordöstlich vor Budapest an und arbeiteten. Sie betrieben überwiegend Landwirtschaft und bildeten kleine deutsche Enklaven im Österreich-Ungarischen Reich. Arm, aber nicht unglücklich. Altdeutsche Traditionen und Gewohnheiten überlebten wie die Sprache, wie die Menschen. Im 2. Weltkrieg kämpfte mein Opa für Ungarn in Russland. Sicherlich wichtig! Das kostete ihn ein kugelgroßes Loch im Zeh, aber noch schmerzhafter: Der Krieg kostete ihn seine Heimat. Wer deutsche Wurzeln hatte, sollte den neuen politischen Warschauer Pakt verlassen. Vertreibung. Flucht. Also musste die Familie Schäffer im April 1946 mit ihren bald drei kleinen Kindern – mein Vater ist 1947 geboren – von vorne beginnen. In Deutschland. In einem Land, einer Umgebung, unter Menschen, denen 12 Jahre lang einindoktriniert worden war, dass alles Fremde schlecht ist.

  • Spinnerette Ghetto Love Ep Free Download Spinnerette’S Ghetto Love
    spinnerette ghetto love ep free download Spinnerette’s Ghetto Love. Johnny forwarded me an email last week. He wrote, “finally, something decent to cover.” The email came from Spinnerette , and it announced a new EP they were independently releasing, entitled Ghetto Love . We’ve been following Spinnerette on Antiquiet, starting with a retro review of the last Distillers album, through an appearance with Queens Of The Stone Age and Spinnerette’s first shows in October. I share the complaint behind Johnny’s statement- while all the hipsters are finding so much music to love these days, it all sounds like shit to us. We’ve had to resort to pot shots at fucking Fall Out Boy for fuck’s sake. But there’s this little EP, and another one from Cat Power that’s worth checking out. Ghetto Love is only four songs- Ghetto Love, Valium Knights, Distorting A Code, and Bury My Heart , all of which have been heard online and/or live. But the first two tracks are pretty hot. Bury My Heart is alright, while Distorting A Code is our least favorite. Check out the video for Ghetto Love: If you dig that, the complete EP can be heard and/or purchased here from Topspin (why it isn’t on iTunes, we do not know), bundled along with the Ghetto Love video. UPDATE: We forgot to mention- at their last show, Brody promised the full length album would arrive in February ’09. The photo at the top of the page was taken at Spinnerette’s show at Spaceland on October 29th.

  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd
    Roots radical – Place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepreneurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study. Keywords: entrepreneurship; social construction; punk rock; paradox; marginality; periphery Special thanks are due to all the punks and skins who have engaged with my reading of the Rancid story, and given me so much support and feedback along the way, especially Rancid’s drummer, Branden Steineckert, Jesse from Machete Manufacturing, Kostis, Tassos (Rancid Punx Athens Crew) and Panayiotis.

  • Never Mind the Bollocks: the Punk Rock Politics of Global Communication
    Review of International Studies (2008), 34, 193–210 Copyright British International Studies Association doi:10.1017/S0260210508007869 Never mind the bollocks: the punk rock politics of global communication KEVIN C. DUNN* Abstract. Largely ignored by scholars of world politics, the global punk rock scene provides a fruitful basis for exploring the multiple circuits of exchange and circulation of goods, people, and messages that moves beyond the limitations of IR. Punk can also offer new ways of thinking about international relations and communication from the lived experiences of people’s daily lives. At its core, this essay has two arguments. First, punk offers the possibility for counter-hegemonic expression within systems of global communication. Punk has simul- taneously worked within and against the hegemony of capitalist telecommunication networks, navigating an increasingly interconnected and mediated world. Second, punk is a subversive message in its own right. Focusing on punk’s Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethos and the resource it offers for resisting the multiple forms of alienation in modern society, the story I construct here is one of agency and empowerment often overlooked by traditional IR. Introduction I am increasingly concerned about the ways that International Relations (IR) as a discipline seems unable to communicate to everyday citizens about issues of tremendous importance. I am repeatedly struck by our inability to speak to the people whose lives are affected daily by the issues we are supposed to be studying. More importantly, I am struck by how irrelevant we and our work can seem to the world’s population. In 2003, I grappled quite openly and vocally with this alienation.

  • 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.

  • American Punk: the Relations Between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture
    American Punk: The Relations between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture Gerfried Ambrosch ABSTRACT Punk culture has its roots on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite continuous cross-fertiliza- tion, the British and the American punk traditions exhibit distinct features. There are notable aesthetic and lyrical differences, for instance. The causes for these dissimilarities stem from the different cultural, social, and economic preconditions that gave rise to punk in these places in the mid-1970s. In the U. K., punk was mainly a movement of frustrated working-class youths who occupied London’s high-rise blocks and whose families’ livelihoods were threatened by a declin- ing economy and rising unemployment. Conversely, in America, punk emerged as a middle-class phenomenon and a reaction to feelings of social and cultural alienation in the context of suburban life. Even city slickers such as the Ramones, New York’s counterpart to London’s Sex Pistols and the United States’ first ‘official’ well-known punk rock group, made reference to the mythology of suburbia (not just as a place but as a state of mind, and an ideal, as well), advancing a subver- sive critique of American culture as a whole. Engaging critically with mainstream U.S. culture, American punk’s constitutive other, punk developed an alternative sense of Americanness. Since the mid-1970s, punk has produced a plethora of bands and sub-scenes all around the world. This phenomenon began almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic—in London and in New York, to be precise—and has since spread to the most remote corners of the world.
