The Paranoid Squirrel ep 491

On this week’s show we have; a track from The Generators new album “Earn Your Stripes” once again gets an airing as does Los Pepes with a song from their soon to be released “All Over Now” album and as not to feel left out so do Royal Republic with something from “Weekend Man”. We go back in time for some live DTK/MC5 whilst I talk about the AC/DC, Brian Johnson dilemma. Brand new music comes courtesy of The X-Ray Eyes who hail from Leeds with a track from their “See Though You” album. Up next roaring out of L.A. its Dr. Boogie a four piece powerhouse building on the foundation of seminal groups like the New York Dolls, Dead Boys, Flamin' Groovies, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry while adding their own twist to song writing with instant classics like "Get Back To New York City" which you get to hear. Then we head over to Germany for The Mergers whose new album “With A Carrot And A Stick” is out now and then it’s Berlin based Dysnea Boys who sport a couple of Canadians. One of which used to be in The Loyalties. Talking of Canada; thanks to Austin Rockett of The Hip Priests I’m now a fan of Bum. Consequently I play something by them. Back into the realms of new music with Swedish Garage Band The Pollutions and their debut single “When The Fire Was Burning Brighter” and then Punk Rockers Milloncolin with a track from their “True Brew” CD. Then Richie Ramone offers us up a cover from his new solo album. Pledge time and the UK Subs whose final album “Ziero” is only a couple of weeks away from being released let us hear a second track from it which I play. Rounding off this week’s show is Hey! Hello! whose second album “Hey! Hello! Too!” was digitally released on the 11^th March only to be withdrawn four days later as vocalist Hollis suddenly left the band on the eve of a nationwide tour. A replacement is actively being sort to re-record the vocals. I think as Ginger once described the band as ABBA meets the Sex Pistols two female vocalist are needed. I raise my hand for Beki Bondage and Brijitte West.
