<\/div>\n
Well, finally 2020 is running out of time but here in the singles club we’ve seen a late flurry of quality singles getting released, and whilst I’d imagine it being the last one for the year we’ll see you again in January all being well.\u00a0 Thanks for checking in and we hope you found more than a couple of singles that tickled your fancy.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Tyla’s Dogs D’Amour – ‘The Powder Dry’ (King Outlaw)\u00a0<\/strong>An absolute triumph. Tyla’s songwriting skills are in rude health here. With a real laid back ballad of sorts with some fantastic backing vocals that sound like a late-night backroom choir before sailing off into the moonlight. Big acoustic chords and wonderful piano fills before a scorching electric guitar break that is an excellent payoff to a really strong song that opens this EP.\u00a0 Then to follow it up with the western canter of ‘Stole My Love Away’. Another cracker to be fair as it gently saunters by.\u00a0 There are four tracks in this here EP and the classic ‘Mad Bad Jack is also involved lifted from Tyla’s visit to Tokyo from earlier this year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then wrapped up with a solo acoustic take of the opening song that sounds epic stripped bare and takes me back to when The bard of Wolverhampton first cut loose with his ‘Nocturnal Nomad’ demos. Buy It Here<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>The Hip Priests \/ Supersuckers – Split (Ghost Highway Records) Order Here<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
Now then kids, the kings of the 7″ single returns to take their reward for best single releasers in all of Rock and Roll and this time they’ve got their pals from Supersuckers to take control of one side of this single.<\/div>\n
Of course, it’s worth picking up its the fucking Hip Priests, they ain’t ever gonna die again. Its crash bang wallop! as the guitars get wrung to within an inch of their lives you’ll be joining in on the chorus before you know it. ‘Ain’t Ever Gonna Die Again’ should be a promise from Nottingham’s finest purveyors of filthy noise as they continue their trajectory of unrivaled quality singles.<\/div>\n
As for Eddie and the boys well ‘Deceptive Expectation’ is the best AC\/DC song they’ve done since back in black. Great distorted lick that rolls and grooves along very nicely with a wonderful guitar solo to boot and Eddie’s vocals are spot on.\u00a0 Of course you should buy it<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>The Heck – ‘<\/span>Hate It Here’ b\/w ‘I Like It Here’ (<\/span>Sour Bomb Records)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>This is an autobiographical song about feeling socially completely out of place. So you\u2019re hating everything and everyone around you and life itself in general. Not because you have a good reason for it. Just because you have to because you can! So a song full of HATE is the result; what\u2019s not to LIKE about that? If punk rock is your poison, you should check this out! For fans of Dead Kennedys, Gun Club, NOFX, Reatards, Oblivians. And for grandparents who hate their grandkids.<\/span><\/div>\n

“Hate It Here” is the third gunfire of The Heck’s upcoming 2nd album. The Heck are another of Henri Soulmann’s brilliant bands alongside De Keefmen, The Miracle Men, and The Sensational Second Cousins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
