“Wake Me Up When September Ends”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

September\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After a frantic couple of months and some rather pleasant sunshine over shit island, September couldn’t possibly keep up the pace set by the previous summer months, could it? Fuckin’ right it could. There was the trip to Steel City to catch up with HRH Sleaze for several intrepid RPM scribes as the whiff of Hard Rock Hairspray filled the air and the crush in the gents for the mirror\u00a0was more of a worry than in the ladies but a few old favourites\u00a0were treading the boards and rocking the house over the weekend that was too good a temptation for some. I have it on good authority that LA Guns<\/a>\u00a0yeah the LA Guns with Phil Lewis in not the other LA Guns without\u00a0Mr. Lewis anyway people who need to know just know and this line up still have the chops that’s\u00a0for sure. Jetboy were also on the bill and were a draw for quite a few and they didn’t dissapoint\u00a0either turning in a great set. Brit sleaze punks The Black Bullets had a rapturous reception after a fantastic performance on the acoustic stage and also killed it electric a band that are really getting into their stride and 2019 looks interesting for the band who have an album ready to go at some point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As we freewheel downhill to meet the tour that had a load of grown men thinking about their mothers-in-law\u00a0so as not to get some wood. It was the prospect of The Hip Priests touring with Bitch Queens<\/a> and the nefarious yobs better known as Deathtraps\u00a0<\/a>that was doing it for most but they picked up some other seedy punks along the way in the shape of those\u00a0Rotten Foxes.<\/a>\u00a0Camden Black Heart played host to this cluster fuck of garage punk and by all accounts from some who were there, it was spectacular. I managed to catch the Bristol show and have to admit it was every bit as spectacular and Bitch Queens pushed the Hip Priests all the way and it was just the evening out I hoped it would be.<\/p>\n

Other live shows circling the UK in September were recorded on RPM the first being a rather splendid\u00a0show from Eureka Machines<\/a> @ The Fulford Arms in York<\/a> that Ben attended in support of their latest record. Another\u00a0of the must see shows of the year it would seem The North of England was definately being spoilt for great live shows in 2018.<\/p>\n

To be fair Eureka Machines have the songs and always deliver in spades and RPM was delighted to bring a report on it\u00a0Here<\/a>. There was also a celebration going on in Yorkshire as Urban Voodoo Machine<\/a> celebrated their 15 shots in Leeds and Ben attended that for RPM<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>On the recorded front September was an Action Rock bonanza with long players hitting the shelves from the likes of RPM favourites\u00a0Nashville Pussy<\/a> with ‘Pleased To Eat You’<\/a>, Supesuckers\u00a0<\/a>rocked up with ‘Suck It’<\/a>\u00a0whilst one of our favourite albums of the year featured Fraser and his band Deathtraps<\/a> who told us all we’ve\u00a0‘Gotta Get Some’<\/a> we don’t know what they Gotta Get but whatever it is I hope they find some because it sound\u00a0interesting. It found its way into many a CD player around RPM and rightly so for all its Garage\/Action Rock goodness. In fact, it would be a dereliction\u00a0of duty if I didn’t advise you to Go Get Some too. Right that’s September done and dusted next up October…<\/p>\n
