DEMO OF THE WEEK: London 70's proto-punk super-group drop raw, fresh, bleeding cuts for the hardest rock 'n' roll times

Hard Times is a new, raw, 'super-band' of the hardest kind of fun, desperate times, rock n roll!

Featuring, Sebastian Melmoth (Suicide Generation) put together with Paolo and Davide (Desperate Fün) Fabio (Lysergics) and Geoffrey (who was also previously in Suicide Generation).

Taking you back to that early 70's Glam/Proto Punk era, listening to their first raw cuts feels picking up one of that rare 45s from one of the record shops in Detroit or NYC at the time. A glorious mish-mash of blistering sounds rehearsed just twice and messily recorded during their second gathering as a group.

It's not surprising then that they're about to hit the studio and record a couple of singles in the next few weeks. If it wasn't for this pandemic I'm sure you would have been able to see them booking their first gigs right about now, but in the meantime, they are getting well oiled and greased up for the clubs to re-open and are taking business bids on their next two singles!

Check them out! These guys are a serious band for the hardest of times! Keep an eye on them.

Thee Dirty Rats: Brazil's two-man tune factory prepare new LP release "Humans Out"

The tunes on this new 12" are raw, trashy, and gloriously weird; sounding like Devo and The Gories mixed up in their own favorite milkshake maker. Very cool, very refreshing. You may just froth at the mouth after taking a gulp of this concoction.

THIS FILM SHOULD NOT EXIST: Portrait of eccentric artist Ben Wallers (The Rebel) and 90s punk legends Country Teasers

If Country Teasers are to be remembered, and they must be, the first thing memory will keep is the image of a hat and a pair of big glasses on a whippersnapper in a suit.

Sick Thoughts: Sleazy, spit-riddled punk rock ‘n’ roll machine drop new 7" 'Poor Boys/Drug Rock'

Sick Thought’s newest single is another prime example of sleazy, spit-riddled punk rock ‘n’ roll done right – and wrong – in all the best ways possible, vicious spurs of idiot savant-tier musicianship abound.

FEATURE | Under the mystic spell of Death Valley Girls leader, Bonnie Bloomgarden

While drawing from the same musical and aesthetic reservoir of punk, psychedelia, the occult, and the bizarre, Under the Spell of Joy is a far more experimental effort than the band’s previous records

Country Teasers and Ben Wallers: 'This Film Should Not Exist' UK Screen Premiere at Doc'n Roll Festival at Rio Cinema in London

Country Teasers roared out of the 90s with a sound that has been described as ‘evil country’, a provocative, ironic noise unleashed in notoriously anarchic live shows that blur the line between drunken unprofessionalism and performance art.
