Punk's Not Dead, It Just Needs a Nap
In an unexpected collision of musical generations, an original punk band, “The Rebels,” recently took center stage at the local senior center, turning what was once a haven for bingo enthusiasts into a center of geriatric rebellion. The groundbreaking event was proudly sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
Decked out in leather jackets adorned with patches, the band…

MAN FROM THE EAST
MAN FROM THE EAST
Classically trained percussionist Stomu Yamashta recorded for Island Records between 1972 and 1976, releasing seven albums of extraordinarily creative and enjoyable progressive music. With elements of formal composition, jazz-rock, electronica and progressive rock, Yamashta’s ability to fuse East and West into an intriguing and entertaining whole was remarkable.
Although I have most of the…

Coffee works wonders too:

Slade – Live at Reading Festival 1980 – BBC Radio 1
Had it not been for the phone call asking if they would be last minute replacements for an ailing Ozzie Osborne, Slade may very well have packed it up by the end of 1980. One of the biggest selling bands of the 1970s (well over 20…

Alternatives To Valium by Alastair McKay: Book Review
Alternatives To Valium by Alastair McKay: Book Review
Got this for my 60th from my pal Neil Walker. It’s a two part book, sort of autobiography, by Alastair McKay who was a music writer for The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and a bunch of music mags.
The first half is about McKay’s upbringing in sleepy North Berwick, a market town about 20 miles from Edinburgh in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, frequenting many of the music haunts that I too enjoyed in my…

Jerry Cantrell - Brighten
Jerry Cantrell – Brighten
https://open.spotify.com/show/4Adxscmvu0LeAWt2xA734l
It’d been nineteen years since Jerry Cantrell, the fucking Riff God himself, release a solo record, 2002’s Degradation Trip. And a lot has happened since that time, in particular the completely unexpected REBIRTH of Alice In Chains with their 2009 comeback MASTERPIECE, Black Gives Way To Blue. From that point on, minus a song that was recorded…

Album Review: Psychic Hit - Solutio (Seeing Red Records)
Shake those hips, bang that head and get transported back time. If that sounds like fun, you know what do you.
Bay Area band Psychic Hit ‘hit’ the scene with a demo in 2018 that showed off a knack for channelling the sounds of ’70s hard rock and proto-metal, and now they’re set to release their debut album, Solutio, on July 9th, 2021 via Seeing Red Records.
Coming out of the gate with a 70’s rock sound, Psychic Hit immediately transport you back in time with Livin’ On. It’s a solid blast of proto-metal…

Whatever Happened To Ambrosia?
Whatever Happened To Ambrosia?
What do you think of when you hear the word “ambrosia”? Described in ancient Greek mythology as the “food of the gods”, it was brought by doves and provided immortality to anyone who feasted upon it. Speaking of food, many have enjoyed a sticky sweet dessert called Ambrosia Salad made with succulent pineapple slices, oranges, marshmallows, and coconut. But music fans, especially those…

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - So Far Away - Carole King
Flashback Friday Song of the Day – So Far Away – Carole King
Today’s Flashback Friday post honors Carole King, who was honored this week with her second entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (She was formerly inducted into the hall for songwriting.). Though it was a wee bit before my own musical time, her 1971 masterpiece, Tapestry, began its journey to becoming the 81st best selling album of all time for monster hits like I Feel the Earth Move, It’s Too…

New Audio: Photo Ops Release a Breezily Wistful Take on 70s AM Rock
New Audio: Photo Ops Release a Breezily Wistful Take on 70s AM Rock @photoopsmusic @luckybirdmedia
Earlier this year, I wrote about Photo Ops, the folk-tinged, dream pop recording project of Los Angeles, CA-based singer/songwriter Terry Price. And as you may recall, Price began Photo Ops as a way to find meaning within an onslaught of of traumatic and life altering events — a sudden and serious medical condition, his father’s death and the breakup of his longtime band Oblio. All of…

Camel With Peter Bardens - Live At The Marquee - 1974 - Past Daily Morning Soundbooth

– Camel – Live at The Marquee – 1974
Before the visual and theatrical aspect evolved, a Progressive Rock concert was a lot like going to a Jazz Concert. No dancing, stage presentation, lasers, explosions – it was all about the music and the playing. The musicians did very little on stage and barely moved around.…

This is Pop...The Rezillos
This is Pop…The Rezillos
The career of the Rezillos was short and punchy, just like their songs.
Coming from Edinburgh they emerged fully formed, had a couple of hits, released an album that was in effects a greatest hits record and then squeezed out a live record of their greatest hits album before they split. It all seemed to take about a year.
It was slightly more complicated, they started off as a kind of art…

(JET’s debut single from 1975)
Perhaps it should have been entitled ‘This Band Ain’t Big Enough For Both Us.’ Just days before embarking on television promotion for the single that would bring them international attention, Sparks decided to fire their bass player, Martin Gordon.
There’s a suspicion this was caused by friction between the parties over writing opportunities, but who knows? The…
