The Paranoid Squirrel ep 489

Welcome to Episode 489 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, where I’m still getting over the TurboFlu that I picked up at Deathtime ASSembly two weeks ago. Anyway thanks to Damo of Muscle Car and the Long Gone Loser Podcast my love for the Goo Goo Dolls was re-ignited so obviously something by them is aired. Off the back of this I get all nostalgic and play a song from a 4-track cassette demo that I played bass on. The band in question was called Tunguska that was around in 1993. Yoko Ono is up next with a track from her latest revisited and reworked album “Yes, I’m A Witch Too”. On to brand new music in the shape and form of the FUKDUST4 whose debut album “The Last Of The Rock And Roll Bastards” is out on Monday. The band features Bri Slutcher, Jeff Hateley, Dave Ohms and Steve G. Black Bombers self-titled album isn’t out until May but that doesn’t stop me playing something from it to get you in the mood and popping over to Easy Action Records to pre-order it. Former Diamond Dogs and current vocalist in The Crunch, Sulo has just released an album of Punk Poet Garry Johnson’s work set to music called “Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tails”, naturally a track from it is played and if you want to catch Sulo playing some of the songs live pop up to the Oi Oi shop in Stables Market, Chalk Farm at 3’o clock on the 14th May. Royal Republic are up next with a track from their just released “Weekend Man” LP. The band played the Underworld last Wednesday, surprisingly as a support act, but unfortunately I was seeing Ghost at The London Palladium. Reckless Love are also over here at the moment promoting their brand new album “InVader” which I’ve only had the briefest of listens to so just play the first track from it. I know I only played new Los Pepes last week however as the band have let slip the title track “All Over Now” it seemed rude not to share it with you. Discharge’s latest album “End Of Days” is due out soon on Nuclear Blast and I think the first full length to feature new vocalist JJ. Of course I play something from it. Up next are three interconnected bands in the form of Motörhead, The Damned and the Open Mind with a 7”, a Peel Session and another 7”. If you need me to tell you what links them I’ll be very disappointed. TV Crime from Nottingham come Power Popping along with a track from their just released single but its Sin City Sinners with their Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd mash up that finishes things off this week.
