Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #83
With 82 episodes of tomfoolery behind me, I decided to “get serious” and play only top-shelf sub-underground rocknroll music this time, and put together a 1-hour set of total barnburners that I’ve got a hankering you’re gonna like.
With new material from LOS CRIPIS, bAd bAd, VIOLENT CHANGE, KATHARINE DALY, LIQUIDS, TIM PRESLEY and SUBURBAN HOMES, what’s not to like? I’ve filled in the gaps with crazed teenage riot material from CLONE DEFECTS (pictured), TEDDY & THE FRAT GIRLS, K4, SUN CITY GIRLS, DEAD C, DOW JONES & THE INDUSTRIALS and much, MUCH more. Please let me know what you think and send your song requests (no “Institutionalized” nor “Bitchen Camaro”, please!!) to dynamiteh@outlook.com.

Superdope #4 – download here
Continuing with my personal excavation project: here is SUPERDOPE #4, published in 1992, ready for download and reading.
Superdope #3 – download here
I’ve uploaded a PDF scan of SUPERDOPE #3, a fanzine I did in 1992.
Read more about it and download it here.
XPRESSWAY ad from Siltbreeze magazine #6 around 1990 or so. Tom Lax
from Siltbreeze was probably Xpressway’s biggest US-based champion; I’d
certainly never heard of the label before he started yakking about them
and running cool ads like this one.
Here’s a thing about the old fanzine I did in Eric Davidson’s 90s garage punk book “We Never Learn”.
Superdope #2 – download here
As part of this new project I’ve got to re-post the PDF files of my old 1990s fanzine, here’s SUPERDOPE #2 from 1991, plus a bunch of self-recrimination I wrote about my role in making it.
Superdope #1 – download here
I used to do a fanzine in the 1990s called SUPERDOPE, and I’ve posted a full scan of Issue #1 for you to read or download right here.
It’s not easy curating a definitive selection of the best sub-underground, late 70s UK 45s and comp tracks from the heyday of do-it-yourself record making, but I’ve put together a start. I’ve culled my newest 8Tracks mix, “SUB-UNDERGROUND UK DIY” from multiple sources: the “Instant Pop Classics” comps, various internet downloads, “Messthetics” and my own collection. Just like the compilation I posted yesterday of female-fronted riot grrl/garage punk, it’s available right now to listen to on computers, smartphones and tablets.
Outside of the fairly-well-known (such as it is) DIY pioneers like The Desperate Bicycles and Animals & Men, most acts on here are ultra-obscure and maybe only lasted for one 45 or a couple of compilation tracks, sometimes only on cassette. 23 tracks in all. Most given to that tinny, experimental, slipshod and faraway sound that characterizes the best of the best of this posthumously-defined genre.
Come listen to "SUB-UNDERGROUND UK DIY" here.
Tracks:
- DESPERATE BICYCLES – Smokescreen
- ANIMALS & MEN – Don’t Misbehave In The New Age
- MIDNIGHT CIRCUS – The Hedonist Jive
- I JOG & THE TRACKSUITS – Redbox
- DEVIL DYKES – Fruitless
- BEYOND THE IMPLODE – Lassitude
- STEVE TREATMENT – Danger Zone
- METROPAK – OK Let’s Go
- SCISSOR FITS – I Don’t Want To Work For British Airways
- BONA DISH – Mutation
- DESPERATE BICYCLES – The Medium Was Tedium
- ANOREXIA – I’m a Square
- DANNY & THE DRESSMAKERS – Don’t Make Another Bass Guitar Mr. Rickenbacker
- THE PETTICOATS – Normal
- REFLECTIONS – 4 Countries
- SCRITTI POLITTI – Is & Ought The Western World
- SUBVERSE – Chance Romance
- TRONICS – Shark Fucks

- BASE – One Way Girl
- GERRY & THE HOLOGRAMS – Gerry & The Holograms
- WAVIS O’SHAVE – Mauve Shoes Are Awful
I put this out there several years ago – thought I’d re-blog it here in case you’re interested.
