\"\"<\/a>Johnny Thunders – ‘Chinese Rocks’ (Golden Robot Records\/Die Laughing Records) <\/strong>All Johnny ever wanted to do was make the kids dance and he sure as hell did that.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Now a lot of his live shows were during the classic age of the bootleg and this bad boy is no exception the sound quality is not the best as you can imagine but it does capture the energy of his shows.\u00a0 Taken from the upcoming live album; ‘Cosa Nostra: Live At The Mudd Club 1983 Gothenburg’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>which will be available as limited edition vinyl and on all streaming platforms.\u00a0 We can argue over the merits of another release of a bootleg but hell, I miss this guy like no other performer I ever bought a record of, so, as one of those sad completist types I’ll be clicking the link.\u00a0 They just don’t make em like Johnny anymore untouchable!\u00a0\u00a0Pre-Order\/Save\u00a0<\/em>HERE<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>Bitch Queens \/ The Drippers – Split (Lux Noise Records)\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Kicking off this month’s Singles Club is a right pair of bangers.\u00a0 Our favourite Basel boys are back with fellow European rockers the Drippers.\u00a0 ‘Ignorance is bliss’ they say but if you ignore this then you’re ignoring the opportunity to get involved with the latest release from 7″\u00a0 from one of the best loud Rock and Roll bands who just love to knock out singles as often as possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is another riot ride of adrenalin with a solid melody and some lovely wah! and duelling guitars Get on it here<\/a> kids you won’t regret it!\u00a0 If that wasn’t enough to convince you then flip it over and get an earful of The Drippers who are the ‘Beach Kings’ and channelling their best Motorhead they hurtle off on a rapid drumbeat and more Wah! than you deserve.\u00a0 Its a corker of a tune to be fair and a worthy companion for the mighty Bitch Queens split repertoire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rich Ragany & The Digressions – ‘Marionette’ (Self Release)\u00a0<\/strong>Like a rush of adrenaline the first song from the brand new Rich Ragany album is birthed into the ether and ‘Marionette’ is uplifting and boundless with heartfelt energy as the band head into the difficult second album but on this evidence, it’s not difficult at all. Subtle melodies clash with some fantastic duelling guitars throughout. The sound is big and makes you wanna get up and move as you search for the tennis racket and hairbrush when you’re alone in the house to join the Digressions for the solo and chorus.\u00a0 Get on it kids its a grower.

\"\"<\/a>Marc Ribler – ‘Shattered’ (Wicked Cool Records)\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Like a lazy Sunday morning bit of Rock and Roll with a gentle chorus and melody, some nice slide guitar playing. ITs got that swirling organ laying down underneath the beat as the song jogs on like a shot of Tom Petty.\u00a0 The B side is even more laid back with eastern flavours from the New Jersey man as he kicks back.\u00a0\u00a0Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wheelz – ‘Twenty Twenty’ (No Front Teeth)<\/strong>\u00a0 “No Coast” punk rock outta the Midwest. Four new sloppy \u2019n\u2019 snotty anthems in the vein of UK \u201977 meets American Punk like a blend of The Briefs, Spent Idols, Toy Dolls and Partisans. Sure take a look at the picture, drink it in because they sound exactly like you want them to sound.\u00a0 Its a perfect snotty sound capsule from the late 70s’ with modern production. ‘Politicians’ is a mash-up of ‘The Last Time’ (Stiv would approve) and mid-period Rancid.
