“October The trees are stripped bare of all they wear but what do I care”<\/em><\/p>\n

October<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re building up a head of steam as RPM goes live and one of the first thing Craggy does is pick up the cowpunk noisemakers Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band<\/a> and their ‘Poor Until Payday’<\/a> album (Oh yeah the one he didn’t review) That aside October saw Fraser jet off to warmer climates before chasing the Damned around the country and flying to Holland for Helldorado.\u00a0 But more of that later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Several of us bought\u00a0‘Speed’<\/a> no not the drug but the fantastic new album from Swedish action rockers Scumbag Millionaires<\/a> it is a thoroughbred\u00a0non-stop wall of noise a turbocharged ride of exciting punked up Rock n Fuckin’ Roll and it deservedly got a rave review round here.<\/p>\n

Whilst we’re on the subject of new records it seemed\u00a0pretty much everyone picked up a copy of the Primal Scream<\/a> ‘Memphis Recordings’<\/a> and most scratched their heads wondering how the band ditched these swinging versions for the more straight rock versions that made the commercial release but we’re glad it did see the light of day that’s\u00a0for sure.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bringing up exciting new bands a promo for ‘You Say I’m Too Much’<\/a> by Estrons<\/a> flew into our emails and proceeded to work its way around the review team as those that did hear it wanted to review it but the one pulling the lucky straw was Johnny Hayward who rushed out and picked up a copy and a ticket to see them live on the strength of the record that blew him away.\u00a0 One of the reasons why we do this is because we are music fans and discovering new bands and albums still gives us a buzz when it happens and especially when it’s this good.Certainly a potential album of the year right there.<\/p>\n
