The Common Cold – Shut Up! Yo Liberals! Ooh, really liking this, some old timers getting rocking and shouty in a Hawkwind/The Fall/Campag Velocet styleee. Recommended: https://soundcloud.com/user-83366435/1-stop-the-traffic-1

The Brackish – Firm But Fair. Another goody, a tough take on first wave math/post-rock that reminds me a lot of Billy Mahonie, which is always a good thing: https://soundcloud.com/stolenbodyrecords/the-brackish-by-monday?in=stolenbodyrecords/sets/stolen-body-sampler

Ryley Walker – Deafman Glance. His last album was fantastic, but he sounds less sure of himself on this, and his voice has taken on that weathered/knackered texture that denotes he Really Means It, Man. Some sudden and surprising excursions into jazz/prog and noise rock territory too. But clearly still worth some additional listens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLCqziQsbz4

Temple – s/t. So, there was a track from this, the latest of the Pyramid label reissues, on the Unknown Deutschland album I had, which I loved, but couldn’t believe it was from 1976 (I think there were quite a few people who doubted the veracity of these albums at the time). Anyway, this is a great album, and a must for Hawkwind/Amon Duul fans. Here’s that track, and it’s still awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX1V9RW8XkE

Rick Wakeman – The Real Lisztomania. I even gave it a second listen. I’ll be buying Yes albums next.

Listen With Father:

Back to the old rock comp I knocked up, must get round to doing a new one. Not only is Iron Maiden’s ‘Running Free’ a brilliant mash-up of NWOBHM and Glitter Beat, but it contains the line, “But all the boys are after me, but that’s the way it’s gonna be, yeah!” which always raises an entirely non-PC smile (especially as Paul DiAnno would indeed end up being pursued by a smitten Rob Halford, when Maiden supported Priest).
