13 Heaven

1989’s Cherry Knowle was Leatherface’s first LP, and far from an embarrassment. Compared to 95% of other punk rock LPs of the last 10 years, it rates high marks. The band is fairly tight and hard, Frankie Stubbs’ lyrics are an obvious cut above, and as a singer he is already more ferocious than a whole cage full of unfed tigers, as rough and savage as a velociraptor attack...

After the long layoff that followed their groundbreaking debut, Mommy's Little Monster, Mike Ness and Social Distortion dropped another seminal punk offering. Slower and more song-driven than their previous disc, this sophomore outing is an absolute triumph. The epic stories of hard living and regret that became Social Distortion's trademark fill Prison Bound's track list...

All - Dot (1992)

01 Dot
02 A Boy Named Sue
03 Can't Say

Dot is a single by the pop punk band All in support of their 1992 album Percolater. What makes the EP worthwhile is their rendition of Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue": just listening to the normally high-pitched voice of Scott Reynolds trying to do his best Man in Black imitation is a scream...

Captain Sensible (aka Ray Burns) was always the biggest joker in the Damned, the brashest boys of the first wave of British punk, and when he launched his solo career in 1982, it seemed to many like a grand prank, with a punch line even the Good Captain never expected - his first album on his own, Women and Captains First, was a genuine hit...

Aztec Camera - Just Like Gold (1981)

01 Just Like Gold
02 We Could Send Letters

Just Like Gold is the first Aztec Camera single. It was released on the seminal label Postcard Records in 1981. It's a great tune, and in a way it's a good link between the post punk / new wave sound and the nascent indie pop...

Why isn't this talked about as one of the great punk albums along with the first four Ramones records? Maybe because they were really one of those bands that found its own mix of punk, new wave and power pop, but never really focused enough to win over any of those voting blocs. But, this Undertones' 1979 debut is a perfect album...

The Outsiders were Wimbledon's official entry into the 1977 UK punk menagerie. Financed in large by Adrian Borland’s parents, the LP “Calling On Youth” was released in 1,000 copies on The Outsiders’ own Raw Edge label. The LP has the honour of being the very first DIY-released punk album by a UK group. Musically, it is a sprawling affair with everything from acoustic takes to harder edged punk rock...

Those who doubt the obsessive, unbridled affection Clash mainstay Joe Strummer held for traditional rock and R&B roots need only punch up virtually any track on this infectious collection of live and studio cuts from the 101ers, the raw yet accomplished band Strummer fronted just prior to his punk superstardom.

Punk bands, of course, were not meant to last, and even if Romeo Void, with their dance beats and warm sax sound, as well as a distinctive lead singer with a gift for soundbite lyrics, seemed to have more commercial potential than most, their five-year, three-album existence was long enough to make some noise, make some compromises, and make it out alive...
