PUMPHOUSE GANG

You should all know by now that Slush were really Pumphouse Gang. What's on the website isn't the above record, but an earlier version. Pumphouse Gang's guitarist S.G. Coolbridge reckons the first version was better, and I have to agree.

PUNK ROCK ADVENT CALENDAR

Some may remember this from last year. Jimmy Severe & The Blue Christmas Boys (ex-Oizone) murder 25 xmas classics with added intro/riff/solo borrowed from various punk classics. Revised and updated with some new tunes.

THE NEWS

50% Reduction is probably the best record any band called The News ever made. Agreed?

Info and audio currently at Worthless Trash.

THE PRAETORS

It's from Belgium, there's some bizarre facial hair, and the band get all adventurous on the B-side like the musos they really were. As for the A-side Pink, well, it's near perfect punk/powerpop.

HERE COME THE DOLLOPS

Or did they no-show? Info below from an old Music Master singles catalogue (3rd edition) circa 1990...


What's the deal with the first entry, the one on Peebly Records, does it exist? anyone ever seen one? Apparently The Dollops were children's cartoon characters (dinosaurs), maybe with a TV show, none of which I recall at all. The other record from '81, Nobody Loves You Like The Dollops Do / We've Got A Lot Of Work To Do does exist and is a nice powerpoppy thing. So, should I delete Here Come The Dollops from the discography on Trash, or not?
