Terminus City - "Landlord Bastard" The East Coast of Oi! 1999 Oi! Punk

Plays: 2.2K+ on Spotify // 300+ on YouTube

If you've been following me for over a year now, you probably know that a big component of this blog at one point was to present songs by mostly obscure acts that I felt were deserving of much more love and attention than they'd ever received. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again here: one major goal of this blog is to dig up all this slept-on shit and ultimately, little by little, piece together a thorough and mostly untold and unknown history of music.

And I think various artist compilations and DJ mixes are a pretty neat avenue for accomplishing that goal. They can be retrospective and present the big, era-defining hits; they can be samplers that show the best of what a label has to offer; and most importantly, they can be ephemerally contemporaneous and provide a snapshot of what a certain slice of music was like during a highly specific period of time. Those latter ones seem to capture those raw, authentic, and pure little moments of history like nothing else out there really can and it's those types of compilations and DJ mixes that I tend to derive the most joy out of.

The simple fact of the matter is that almost all music is ephemeral and also cloistered. It stays in its scene and it gets some brief play within that scene and then it just pretty much vanishes into thin air, never to really be thought of again. But of course, it doesn't actually vanish; it just sits there on dust-collecting vinyl, tapes, CDs, 8-tracks, hard drives, and iPods that haven't been touched in years and it also hides in the dark corners of YouTube and streaming services, almost totally ignored by ~[<{the algorithm}>]~.

So, here I am, like the guy at the beach with his trusty metal detector in hand, recognizing the fact that there's all this cool, decades-old shit just laying out there that's barely ever been exposed to the masses, just wanting someone to get the same level of pleasure from it like I have.

I love so much music, I love discovering all these little gems, and I love showing them to other people. And now I'm happy to say that I'm gonna be writing about individual songs once again. I'm gonna be providing you with killer tunes that you've more than likely never heard before by acts you've more than likely never heard of, and I'm going to give you their backstories and provide their proper context. Simply put, this shit deserves to be more known than it currently is and you should know how it all fits into this vast, woven quilt of music history.

So, without further ado, let's fuckin' go, shall we?

~~~~~~~~

Today's song post is about landlords. We sure do hate 'em, don't we folks? We fork over a hefty portion of our paycheck every month to them just to keep a roof over our heads (that's fucked up, isn't it?) and then they do little to nothing in return to make that payment ever seem worth it. They're never there when you need them when something needs fixing, so what's the point of them in the first place? Why do we let them get away with all the scummy, underhanded shit that they pull? Hey, someone should write a song about these bastards!

Well, here's a group that did just that. Introducing a relatively short-lived punk band from Atlanta called Terminus City. Critic Mesquita Borges provides some background on 'em:

Assembled in 1998, Atlanta-based Terminus City endowed frenzied conceptions of hardcore punk, taking on Oi! style's most dashing heritage. Associating pushy guitar sets with raging vocals, the squad crushed the local punk rock scene and quickly began to be named along with the best Oi!-styled teams. Formed by Frank (vocals), Guillermo (guitar), Wes (bass), and Chris [drums], the band started off by playing a series of concerts in the Atlanta area, being the opening act for bands such as Patriot or the Dropkick Murphys. Recording a series of singles and appearing at the Arizona Street Punk Festival in 1999, Terminus City gradually began to congregate a respectable fan base. During late 1999, the crew recorded what turned out to be their debut full-length, Justice Isn't Always Fair, which hit the record stores in 2000.

So, '99 is when Terminus City made their first releases, which consisted of a 7-inch of their own, plus three other 7-inches that they split with other bands. And in addition to those releases, they also ended up contributing a pair of exclusives to two different compilations that year as well: "You Shook Me All Night Long" for Oi Oi - A Tribute to AC/DC and "Landlord Bastard" for The East Coast of Oi!

Now, oi! as a genre has something of a checkered past. It's a working-class kind of punk rock, but it's had some strains of fascism, white nationalism, and reactionary politics within its ranks. And you'll even find some of that grossness on the East Coast of Oi! comp itself, with a song like "Welfare Case" by Squiggy. That's a song I'll never write praiseworthy things about, and, by the way, Squiggy, didn't Clinton pretty much obliterate welfare by the time you'd released your dumb song anyway? Find a fresher shitty thing to write about!

Anyway, I don't know the full discography of Terminus City, but if "Landlord Bastard" is any indication, then it doesn't seem like these guys fell into that bad strain of oi!. Landlords are typically an enemy to working class politics, so I don't think you'd find a right-wing band lamenting about them. But I guess I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️.

Anyway, it's never *just* the message that'll get me to love a song; the music itself's gotta be good too, of course. And Guillermo's guitar tone as well as the main squealing riff that he sports with it throughout the verses on this song are both nothing short of spectacular; pretty simple in execution, but also catchy as hell, and serving as a nice contrast to both Wes' deep, accompanying bassline and Frank's gravelly vocals too. Blast it in front of your landlord and if they give you any guff about it, then crank it up a notch with this classic from The Coup (YouTube) 😈.

Also, if you like this song, I included it on this broad 90s punk playlist that consists only of tunes that I’ve come across by way of compilations. And it’s also on YouTube and YouTube Music, with a few more added bonus tracks that aren’t on Spotify. 

Feels really good to be fully back ☺!

Album Review: New Junk City - Beg a Promise

#AlbumReview: @NewJunkCityATL - Beg a Promise Spirited, heartfelt punk rock packing the kind of melodies that are equally joyful and wistfully nostalgic @AFrecordsPGH @part_time_pr #newmusic #review #punk #poppunk #rock #alternative #NewJunkCity

Armed with the kind of melodic pop hooks and timeless narratives that summon up whisks of nostalgia, New Junk City‘s latest album Beg a Promise is the kind of punk record that will become a best friend for road trips, night-out after parties, and cathartic hours of contemplation. The Atlanta group should expect to gain the type of hardcore followers that groups like The Gaslight Anthem and The…

5 Upcoming Artists to look for in the month of September (9/12/2022) - Rose

(BIAS: I've worked with Lilith on several songs.)

Buffalo Producer, Lilith 2 (she/her) is future of spacey emo rap.

Lilith is the frontwoman of psyouredead. but you shouldn't be sleeping on her solo stuff. I don't really like to compare people to others and she is all original but Lilith will be the next 6dogs. With the minimal spacey production she hearkens back to an era of soundcloud long lost with time. She works with what little she has but with big results. She is the next wave of emo rap. Ghost may well be your favorite tape of the year. (mine too)

FFO: 6dogs, Lil Peep, and kaiyko

Stream - Ghost:

(BIAS: I'm working with Breezy on a future song.)

DMV Musician Breezy Supreme (he/him) and his backing band are the future of heavier pop punk.

Breezy is proving that rock, punk, and metal is and has and always be a part of black culture. originally from the DMV rap and DC hardcore scene, Breezy departed from rap and DC hardcore a little bit, Breezy got a band of friends to transition to the pop punk scene. Obviously unlike many of his peers he comes from the actual pop punk scene and brings a more mature perspective. Seeing as most pop punk artists talk about the same topics of negativity of depression and drugs over and over. Breezy and his backing band give a really MORE positive perspective, Breezy has been often critical of the alternative scene's perspective on lyrical and subject matter. Often being critical of the Drug fueled hedonistic "Rockstar" Lifestyle that many rappers and musicians in the alt scene have. This I feel will be a breath of fresh air for some.

FFO: Bad Brains, Good Charlotte, and DC Gogo and Hardcore

Stream - Thank You Catherine Obvious:

Canadian based Maryland Singer/Songwriter Lane (she/her) will be your new favorite folk singer.

I love the romanticism and heartbreak of Lane's music. The genuine heartbreak, in her voice is strangely Intoxicating and haunting. I love passion in her voice. I love her songwriting too. She can make even the most vague concepts appear concrete before your eyes. She may have only three tracks out right now but She has an Album out on the way.

FFO: Pheobe Bridgers, Bjork and Field Medic.

Stream - les loups r​ô​dent ici

Self Proclaimed Party-violence and Atlanta Pop Music based band: The Callous Daoboys, are the future of Scenegrind and Scene Mathcore Revival

This is the most fun and batshit scene music I've ever heard. Whether that be because of the scene staple of long and or weird titles of maybe totally serious songs IE ("field sobriety practice" and "What Is Delicious? Who Swarms?") or that Songs have excellent electric violin accompaniment by Amber Christman. Or the crazy ass intricate music videos directed by Grant Butler. ALSO THE MUSIC. GOOD GOD THE MUSIC. Every note seems like a part in a well oiled machine. The Callous Daoboys have definitely earned the title of one of the best Bands right now period.

FFO: Big Money CyberGrind, The Blood Brothers, Steak-sauce Mustache, and Thotcrime.

Stream - Celebrity Therapist

BIAS: I'm working with Oldphone and Have worked with Eichlers)

Eichlers (he/him) and Oldphone (They/she/he) are the Revolutionary artists of Hyperska and Hyperemo.

I'm gonna try to keep it short but I will be descriptive as possible. Emo and Ska while have been popular have never really gotten the mainstream or underground love they deserved in a while. Hyperpop is the culmination of nostalgic pop as both parody and genuine love for a more mature but equally fun experience. Emo and ska can really be in that group. ska and emo has matured. People never just could see that. So why don't we take these themes and mash them together. Eichlers w/hyperska fills this mature theme in ska. and Oldphone fills that quota for emo for me. The cliche of Pitched up vocals while a staple of hyperpop (mostly as a issue for vocal dysphoria) I feel is overlooked in its meaning and is more of a void style thing as to say "thats what we've always done". Really used with no merit. I feel artists like oldphone and eichlers both use these vocals in there songs to signify youth rather as a nostalgic theme. things rings throughout new songs w/ Oldphone like "guestroom" a song about looking at past relationships. as what could have been.

"Bow out gracefully I don't care I was dumb and I’m aware I fucked up my own life. But you don’t care, why should I fight? Every thing inside of me Is saying to to get out please But how can I hear them through this Walls were built, I don’t exist". (lyrics from guestroom)

Oldphone uses the nostalgia of emo rather to tell a long lasting emotional experience rather than a sad story. You can simply tell the same story over and over but a queer or slightly different view can help. As for eichlers his new song "ok commuter" (which while being a funny radiohead pun and nod) and "new tone" (the genre of what eichlers music is) are great examples of ska and hyperpop being used as used to invoke class consciousness and the existential hell of what capitalism causes.

Fruit of all my labor turns to Dirt dirt dirt dirt Lying if I said it didn't Hurt hurt hurt hurt Scratches on my glasses I'm a Nerd nerd nerd nerd Sitting in the break room with my Headphones in YouTube on my phone I'm watching In The Mix In a couple minutes I'll go Clock back in & pretend it didn't happen I'm gonna leave the planet Been so fucking manic lately

FFO (Eichlers): bad time records Ska, 93feetofsmoke, mom jeans, vantana row, 100 gecs, jer, Indie emo, and fishbone.

FFO (oldphone): lonely ghost records Emo, fatse, Sophie, and Algernon Cadwallader.
