I reckon this fanzine has been out now for a year, but MAKING WAVES #1 just arrived in my mailbox over the weekend and looks to be a first-rate read. It’s focused on female-fronted punk and post punk, primarily of the 70s/80s, with Stef Petticoat, Alice Bag, Dolly Mixture and Kleenex/LiliPut among the interviewees. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile, you can order you own printed copy, download a PDF, and/or check out a mix that Camille and Mary made for you 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:

  1. DESPERATE BICYCLES – Smokescreen
  2. ANIMALS & MEN – Don’t Misbehave In The New Age
  3. MIDNIGHT CIRCUS – The Hedonist Jive
  4. I JOG & THE TRACKSUITS – Redbox
  5. DEVIL DYKES – Fruitless
  6. BEYOND THE IMPLODE – Lassitude
  7. STEVE TREATMENT – Danger Zone
  8. METROPAK – OK Let’s Go
  9. SCISSOR FITS – I Don’t Want To Work For British Airways
  10. BONA DISH – Mutation
  11. DESPERATE BICYCLES – The Medium Was Tedium
  12. ANOREXIA – I’m a Square
  13. DANNY & THE DRESSMAKERS – Don’t Make Another Bass Guitar Mr. Rickenbacker
  14. THE PETTICOATS – Normal
  15. REFLECTIONS – 4 Countries
  16. SCRITTI POLITTI – Is & Ought The Western World
  17. SUBVERSE – Chance Romance
  18. TRONICS – Shark Fucks
  19. BEARZ – She’s My Girl
  20. ANOREXIA – Pets
  21. BASE – One Way Girl
  22. GERRY & THE HOLOGRAMS – Gerry & The Holograms
  23. WAVIS O’SHAVE – Mauve Shoes Are Awful

SILVER DAGGERS were a leading mover in the Los Angeles-based all-ages noise/art scene associated with Not Not Fun Records and “The Smell” club a half decade ago. They formed in 2003, peaked on vinyl around 2007 or so, and that’s really about the last I heard from them.

I dug their angle of attack – weirdly left of center horn-bleating, agitprop shouting and tight rhythms wrapped up in a cocoon of noise. This is “Joy” from their only album, about as close to a hit as they ever had, which is to say not close at all.

OK, brand-new 8Track mix has been completed and is live for you to listen to right now on yer computer or smartphone. It’s all-female, super uptempo 1990s low-fidelity bashing, which loyal Dynamite Hemorrhage readers know is one of our musical calling cards. I’m calling it “Object To I-Dent”, after the Pussycat Trash song included in this mix. Whatever that means. Sounds gnarly.

Half of the 17 songs here come from the riot grrl primordial swamp, the other are rooted more in learning-to-play, third-wave garage punk. Where you draw the line is up to you. You’ll hear quality entertainment from a variety of whooping and screeching young women plying their rough trade two decades ago. I’m especially proud that it’s 17 songs in 27 minutes. Pure blitzkrieg.

Come listen to “Object To I-Dent” here. 

Tracks:

  1. SALLY SKULL – Tear Out
  2. PUSSYCAT TRASH – Object To I-Dent
  3. SKINNED TEEN – Dance All Night
  4. THE RONDELLES – Backstabber
  5. BUDGET GIRLS – French One
  6. GOLDEN STARLET – Baby
  7. LUNG LEG – Theme Park
  8. MAN TEE MANS – Man Tee Mans (Theme)
  9. HENRY’S DRESS – Zero Zero Zero
  10. SKINNED TEEN – Secrets
  11. MICRAGIRLS – Neki
  12. GOLDEN STARLET – Boy Scout Club
  13. THE GORLS – Tracie
  14. THE RONDELLES – Safety In Numbers
  15. PUSSYCAT TRASH – 1,2,3,4
  16. KITTY CAT SPY CLUB – The Searcher
  17. LUNG LEG – Rock Song

While we were spending our time obsessing about New Zealand’s Xpressway tapes and records; cuddling up to the Victor Dimisich Band, The Terminals and the like; and searching every nook and cranny of record stores and the internet for Fall ephemera, this Boston band called THE IN OUT were recording this mindblower of a song, “Club Blackout”. This song is incredible – a farfisa-driven, ear-scraping wormhole straight off of “This Nation’s Saving Grace” but better than any single song on that great record.

From 1997’s “Cosmosis” album on Dark Beloved Cloud records. I know what my most-wanted vinyl LP is now. Anyone know if there’s a legal download floating around out there somewhere?
