Some King Kurt for a change. This was their 2nd single and the only one that got in the UK top 40 charts,reaching the heady heights of number 36. They were a great live band.
Something many of you out there need.......yes some Therapy. This one was off the forthcoming first and great Therapy? album,Troublegun but the song I really like on here is their cover of Judas Priest's Breaking The Law. I've included Judas Priest's version on here just so you can revisit it and compare Therapy's version. I love the Priest version too and forgot just how good a song it was. Therapy? are still the loudest band I've ever heard and when I saw them for the one and only time.my ears didn't forget it for days.
Some SLF for you. Recorded off someones video tape by the looks of it. The pictures okay but the sound is a tad farty but its worth having (honet guv!) Bruce Foxton is in this line-up of course in this 65 minute set. Use HJ-Split to join the files together.
I downloaded this clip years ago from Winmx. Yes that long ago! Young Becki & co on Bristol's local TV station in 1982. Not great quality but its Becki so its worth seeing! The band reformed in '97 and are still standing strong and proud with the new line-up of Becki,Noisey Tone,Paul and Wayne and last years album (London Underground) recieved some rave reviews. I haven't got it yet so if anyone can confirm this then please speak up and tell us how good this release is.
This one is for Punk Rock Daddy. An hour and a half set from the Gang Of Four. A big file this one at 843 mb but if like the band and haven't yet got this one then I'm sure you'll like it. Use HJ-Split to join the downloaded files together.
I think this was on Channel 4 around 2001 but I don't know exactly to be honest. I found it on an old tape I had lurking about. A 50 minute docu on one of the most important bands of the 80's and some would say,pioneers of a whole generation of music. Theres no doubt to most in the know that the mixture of Joey Santiago's manic guitars,David Lovering's crushing drums,Kim Deal's wonderful meandering basslines and Black Francis's,screeching vocals make for a very special cocktail of a band indeed. Theres some great live footage on here as well as plenty of opinions from people some of you would of heard of as well as the band themselves. If you liked this band you'd be a fool not to grab this one. Ripped from glorious old VHS with all the Channel 4 commericals carefully removed. 479mb. Join with HJ-Split.
After my last posting I will stay in the same area and post what surely is Manchester's greatest musical artists of all. This is debatable of course as the City has had many fine bands but Buzzcocks gets my vote anyway. Fans of Joy Divsion, New Order,The Fall,Slaughter & The Dogs,The Drones,John Cooper Clarke and The Teardrops might disagree as might fans of the Stone Roses,Oasis and The Inspiral Carpets etc. So who were the finest band to come out of Manchester?
