The New Order - Declaration Of War
Band put together by Ron Asheton of The Stooges and Dennis Thompson of MC5 after those bands split up. Lead singer is a dead ringer for Bon Scott. The songs range from sounding like Stooges & MC5 stuff to AC/DC like stuff with a bit of 70s trad rock thrown in. Some of the lyrics are cheesy as hell ( "We are the Rock n Roll soldiers in the war against the jive ), but it's a fun album.
Tokyo Sex Destruction - Black Noise Is The New Sound
Spanish retro garage rock. Not original in the slightest but I don't really care when it comes to stuff like this.
Telstar Ponies - In The Space Of A Few Minutes
Hugely under-rated band who I am surprised are not more widely liked on this forum , seeing as they mix what's now known as post rock with krautrock , folk & noise. An odd combination but they manage to pull it off.
S*M*A*S*H - S*M*A*S*H* E.P
Pre Britpop new wave of new wave which was basically just a movement of bands inspired by the Clash and didn't sell any records. The politics are totally laughable but it's done with a naive charm and energy that make it appealing. And it's good to listen to some of the stuff I used to like as an impressionable teen from time to time.
