Ho Ho Ho!, Nothing Christmassy about this bunch of records except to say I’d be one happy chappy if these were hanging in my stocking come the big day.\u00a0 It’s always quality before quantity here at RPM Singles round-up. As we welcome back old friends and applaud like a bunch of performing seals when the music hits the airwaves… With an immense array of talent on offer we bring you the pick of the new releases because we’re like that and its the season to give, give, give…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Motherfuckin’ Motherfuckers – ‘Trillion Dollar Man’ (Lux Noise Records)\u00a0<\/strong>Its always a pretty good bet that as soon as I get things in order to write up a compilation of new singles and videos that are about to drop Those Lovely Hip Priests boys appear as if by magic (either its coincidence or they have my house tapped) but hang on before you get carried away this is only half of the Hip Priests together with half of Bitch Queens under the umbrella of Motherfuckin’ Motherfuckers (never a more appropriate name eh?)<\/p>\n

Following on from that glorious cacophony of noise that was the debut mini-album ‘Trillion Dollar Man’ is the fearless foursome back for more with a two-minute one-second rip ride of unadulterated punk rock and roll. from the intro tape to the snot fueled solo it hits you like a speedball if you flip it over side two is more of the same.\u00a0 Too much drugs, too much booze, too many amps and guitars will ki… Never be enough! we live in tough time kids so when you have a band put together as a bet that can turn up and knock these out then things aren’t all bad proving once again that they can go toe to toe with the greats and channelling their inner Motorhead, MC5, early Hellacopters you get the idea where these punks are coming from. Just buy it for fuck’s sake you know you want to. Click here<\/a> and let em know your order before they all go, which they will. Then you’ll still be uncool and not even have the new Motherfuckin’ Motherfucker single in your possession either. Oh and they cover D4 as well it’s almost as if D4 knew one day it would happen and some bunch of ne’er-do-wells would turn it up and kick out the jams on their classic and bring it to a whole new generation of rock n rollas. so,\u00a0 what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Black Halos – Geisterbahn ii (Yeah Right! Records)\u00a0<\/strong>A band that shouldn’t need an introduction but we’re giving them one anyway.\u00a0 Hailing from Vancouver and been in some sort of semi-hibernation until now.\u00a0 Seemingly out of nowhere this old\/new single drops.\u00a0 the A-side is something familiar to those who pay attention as it was released a while back when they played the Black Heart in London and some shows in Spain a few years ago but the single was delayed due to one thing or another until now.\u00a0 the band has been writing new songs back in Canada and we are about to hear the benefits of that.\u00a0Original members Billy Hopeless, Rich Jones, and Jay Millette have reunited and are joined by the rhythm section of Danni Action and John Kerns on these new recordings.\u00a0\u00a0These songs mixed by long-time collaborator Jack Endino C’mon folks it’s a banger from the off.\u00a0 Its got the wonderful vocal delivery from Billy (who else?) and a vibrant workout from a band who sound like they love to crank it up and get on with their business.\u00a0 I for one can’t wait for the album next year it’s going to be special and on the evidence of these samplers one, you should be interested in no question.\u00a0 Recorded back in Berlin by RDO TV Mork and features Rags n CC Voltage (they don’t need an introduction here do they?)\u00a0 just buy it!\u00a0 Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

THE ILLICITS ‘Left Behind \/ Born Slippy’ (Creation 23)\u00a0 <\/strong>The elephant in the room here is these cats have only bagged themselves a guest slot from the one and only Steve ‘Fuckin’Jones!\u00a0 Yeah, that’s right the lonely Boys strapped on his Les Paul and threw down a riff on ‘Left Behind’. What’s it like then you ask. Well its a pretty decent noise to be fair as is their take on ‘Born Slippy’.\u00a0 Terrace punk would be a fair description somewhere between the pub rock of early britpop and Jonesys Professionals these guys have a swagger cutting through their record and its impressive, maybe the time is right for some real guitar bands to kick out the jams once again and give this industry a good fuckin’ shakin’.\u00a0 Get on it here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
