The Paranoid Squirrel ep 519

The Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell are the first band up on this week’s show with a track from their up and coming third album “Keep It Greasy” which is out on the 14th October. Two Canadian bands follow on in the shape and form of Jonsey from Montreal with more than a nod to The Heartbreakers and The Dead Boys with a track from their debut 7” and then Nerve Button who mix equal parts junkshop stomp and ’77 punk. Beach Slang have just released their new album “A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings” which if you like the first five Goo Goo Dolls albums you’ll appreciate Beach Slang’s harmonies and Power Pop sensibilities. Of course I air a track. Revelation of the week were Finnish band Teksti-TV 666 and their “1,2,3” compilation album; “Teksti-TV 666 is a band built on contradictions. It is as if Neu! performed Ramones songs; it is a shoegazing Hellacopters; it is a heavy-but-soft wall of noise, a colourful slow-motion explosion.” Read their PR blurb.  Add a bit of Hawkwind and I was sold as you will hear. Poland’s Poison Heart have a brand new track for us to enjoy and then it’s Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers as Walter Lure, Wayne Kramer, Tommy Stinson and Glem Burke are in November in NYC are going to play the whole of “L.A.M.F.” Jealous? Not alf! This week’s Crowd Funded, Fan Financed section comes courtesy of Bash & Pop that features the aforementioned Tommy Stinson, The Kinks, Ryan Hamilton & the Traitors and The Damned. As we move into the home stretch I talk about and play two songs, one by each, from Status Quo and AC/DC as their continual existence has been called into question. With Graveyard, whose existence unfortunately has ended, ending this week’s show.
