Welcome
to Episode 473 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. Blowing any cobwebs away you
might have pre-Christmas on this week’s show are The WitchDoktors and The
Phobics. Both bands were recorded live at The Hope & Anchor in Islington
last Saturday as part of the “Rockaway Beach” Club hosted by Timmy and Debs
DeRella.
Deep in the darkest vaults of South London, The
WitchDoktors have been honing their SuperPunkRock sound and shows since the
early 90s, (one of their roadies even sang for the band myself and friend of
the show and Squirrel associate Arcwright were peddling in 1993), drawing on
their 70s punk upbringing even throwing in a live cover of The Damned’s second
single “Neat, Neat, Neat” and a snippet of The Clashes “Guns of Brixton” bolstering
their pedigree. They also add a rather large dollop of trashy Rock'n' Roll with
a dash of 60s Psyched-Out Garage put in a smidgen of cuntry (sic)finally mixing
it all up with some God Damned loud geetars. After 4 albums, a fistful of
singles plus hundreds of shows with like-minded souls the band are all set
release album number 5 next year but are refusing to tell us what the title is.
Whatever it may be called I will be buying it!
The Phobics formed
in Deptford a few years back by some Punk survivors and misfits with a love of
Raw Rock ‘n’ Roll who were bored with a smug and complacent music scene. You’ll
find The Phobics occasionally sober (Tuesdays) but always
ready to plug in and crank it up. Gig wise it’s always an event. Last
Saturday’s was no exception as you’re about to hear.
