The mighty TALES OF TERROR, live in Houston in the early 80s.

MEN OH PAUSE are new UK-based DIY dark-cloud drifters who have a 4-song EP called “Pulse Check” out now on Tuff Enuff records.
Their “anxiety-ridden”, keyboard-saturated downer rock reminds me much of Dynamite Hemorrhage faves EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS and a bit of the nascent ALISON’S BIRTHDAY, whom the former have partially spun themselves into. I would not be surprised if all three acts enjoyed rainy days, cold nights and unending dole queues together. Excellent stuff – I’ll play some more of it on the podcast shortly, having bought this last night.
THE HUNS, the Chicago-based garage punk band responsible for the ear-shredding “Destination Lonely” from 1966.
I made this ad for our fanzine to run in Rubberneck magazine about 6 months ago, but never actually found out if the thing ran. Anyway, Dynamite Hemorrhage #1 is available right now from 12XU mail-order if you’d like a copy.

Live from our safe European home, it’s Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio, the 39th edition. This episode is brought to you by 11pm sundowns, World Cup watchathons that end at 2am in the morning and 4 cups of strong coffee per day. It travels multiple pathways of jangle, ear-shred and creepy-crawl folk/noise. Today’s modern heroes include MOLE HOUSE, ROACHCLIP, WOLF GIRL, HLEP, GOOD THROB, TRICK MAMMOTH, ADULTS, BATTY, and the utterly incomprehensible RÄJÄYTTÄJÄT.
Yesterday’s heroes include Look Blue Go Purple, Surgery, The Rats, Rhino 39, The Huns, Radio Pete and even the goddamn Donnas. We even play 2009 Dynamite Hemorrhage song obsession “Desert Fun” by The Mayfair Set (pictured) yet again. Download it, rate it, tell a friend about it and help stamp out disco.

I may be unable to sell any of these from my temporary Norwegian address this summer, but DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE fanzine #1 is still available from 12XU Mailorder, and you can buy one right here.
Meanwhile, if I can tear myself away from work, family, the World Cup and the siren song of European socialism, I’ll make some progress on a Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #2 to come out later this year.
From WIPEOUT! fanzine #5.
The Young Marble Giants have had little live experience. Apart from their occasional Cardiff gigs, four in London is their sum total. Onstage, they’re extremely static and a little po-faced. Alison sings with her hands in her pockets while the Moxham brothers loom gauntly on either side of her, each with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
The effect is a cross between the casual and the terrified.
“We don’t move because we’re so scared,” explains Alison.
Stuart embellishes a little. “As well as that, it isn’t particularly dance music, it is minimal. I think we’re quite English in a way, very restrained.
“But some of our songs, like "Choci Loni,” are quite funny, and people don’t seem to realise—"
“It’s probably the way I sing them,” mutters Alison.
“— but if they’d all stand around and laugh, we’d be delighted.” concludes Stuart.

An article on the AU PAIRS from RIPPER fanzine in 1981.
This “germinal” UK feminist agitprop post-punk band, one of my all-time faves, is sorta the fish out of water in this San Jose-based hardcore ‘zine, which otherwise features The Lewd, Wasted Youth, TSOL and Black Flag in the rest of the issue. Bully for Tim Tanooka & the boys for some vision and taste.
