Exciting times here at SSS hq

FOR OUR FRIENDS.....

For our friends in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Liverpool and for anyone who has had enough of the human scum walking the streets...

LAUGHING LEADS TO CRYING
rancid vermin scumbag meat
live in a rat nest on my street
for the neighbourhood torment that you have done
next i see you going to have my fun

tables turned now you will learn
close your eyes yes this will hurt

brick your teeth in so you cant talk
sockets twist untill they pop
fists open your eyes so you cant see
stand on your throat making it hard to breath

tables turned now you will learn
close your eyes yes this will hurt
kept alive but wont ever walk strait again
roll around spread the word warn your toe rag dickhead friends

REVENGE

de ja vu you still havent learnt
close your eyes again this will hurt

MIX TAPE MADNESS

"NOW 8" Mix tape from this months Terrorizer mag issue 212 / 2011
.....heres the article...

 ....put words to sound and moving pictures below

1- McRad

"Weakness/McShred" from Absence of Sanity lp (Beware Records, 1987)
Powell Perelta "Public Domain" 1988

 

BANG, 1st song out the trap ,here we go.
This lp was on heavy repeat in '88 and to this day conjures up smells of hot concrete, grinding indys down to the axle on freestanding curbs, dreams of endless summers and adolescent better times. McRad are for me THE sk8rock band to make you grab your stick and hit the streets.

-----------------------------------------------------

2- Mercyful Fate

"Devil Eyes" from Nuns Have No Fun EP (Rave-On Records 1982)
Sk8 Vid - Consolidated "is what it is" 1999

 

Lets keep the pace going...

King Diamond and APs sk8ing brought out the operatic/screaming/shrieking/shralping in all of us. Was always impressed by the constantly relentless high hat tsk-tsk, and those roto toms bounce round your head. Superb heavy metal. You need new trainers?, remember , DONT DO IT!

-----------------------------------------------------

3 - Bl'ast!
"Surf and Destroy" from The Power of Expression (Wishingwell Records 1986)
Sk8 Vid - Santa Cruz - "Streets on Fire"

Listened to this a millions times and wont ever get sick of it. Squealing quitars, Clifford growling and lead guitar on a h/c record! Yes way!. Bl'ast! surpassed their heroes, those being Black Flag and SSD. Blasphemy? what do you know - its the truth. Life is Pain.

-----------------------------------------------------

4 - Firehose
"Brave Captain" from Ragin,Full-On (SST records 1986)
Sk8 Vid - Santa Cruz "wheels on fire" 1989

2nd trick ,720 degree spin on a fire hydrant ?!?
what was that? rewind, rewind. Natas Kaupas what kind of name is that? Spell it backwards and whos other name do you get? it sent nervous parents running for cover. "Brave captain" got its guitar hooks latching into my head and wont ever leave.

-----------------------------------------------------

5- 411
"Face the Flag" from This Isnt Me (Cargo Records 1990)
Sk8 vid - New Deal "1281" 1991

Mike Vallelys section was all meat and potatoes in 1281, made even more enjoyable due to this song. 411 had melody and introspective lyrics ,a true soundtrack for the 90's season of evolutionary change that took place within both sk8ing and hardcore. 

-----------------------------------------------------

6 - Dystopia
"Self Defeating Prophecy"
(Life Is Abuse/Misanthropic Records/Crawlspace Records 1999)
Sk8 Vid - AntiHero skateboards "Cash,Money,Vagrant"

Dystopia are way more than just music.
Crusty downtuned doom riffage with songs tackling world pollution, depression, environmentalism, animal rights, veganism and bitter visions of religion.
Have that misanthropic dirge over Peter Hewitt raw unpolished sk8ing was a match made in hell.
The tape got played untill it eventually snapped. Antihero? never heard of them...

-----------------------------------------------------

7 - Kinghorse
"Greatest gift" from self titled lp  (Caroline Records 1990)
Sk8 Vid - Santa Cruz "Risk it" 1990

Bought this lp for 99p  on the strength of the Pushead cover alone.
Kinghorse was a mad mix of tempo changes and hanging vocals and enough metal widdle riffage to sink a ship and noone knew its hidden metal powers apart from me.
The opening riff on Mike Youseffpours section blew my tiny mind ,as did his airs to fakie.
The producers name bigger than the bands?! Danzig is at it with the little man syndrome.

-----------------------------------------------------

8 - John Coltrane
"Traneing In" by Prestige records 1957
Sk8 Vid - Blind Video Days 1991

Last song to cleanse your palet and heres some jazz, thats right JAZZ, a little bit of culture and sophistication for you heavy metal heathens.Everything is raw in the video, the Gonz is an allround ripper and pushed sk8ing to new levels and beyond. The 180  after the wallenberg four is the best. You know he's high.  Get the cheese board out ,let your ears breath and sit back and relax.


There you go...but how longs a piece of string... far to many bands/sections to mention

DAY IN THE LIFE - Recording

Dismembered arm.....but the body and head live

   

Its all happening but what does it all mean? Time to join the dots - for people who may not be familiar with recent events. Rupert Murdoch owns news corporation. An organisation that controls a vast amount of daily newspapers and subscription tv, read and watched by millions each and everyday has come upstuck once again. It hasnt been the first time the organisation has come under fire over the decades. Close to home ,The Sun newspaper  in april 1989 reported untruths about Liverpool football fans at the disaster that took place at Hillsborough were 96 football fans died.

The song 3:06 was written on our last record "The Dividing Line" railing aginst the lack of  investigation and cover up from the south yorkshire police. 

CLICK HERE for full Hillsborough disaster history 

A 22 year boycott of the Sun newspaper is still strong in our city today.  Dont by the Sun campaign 

Again News corp is underfire. The Suns sister tabloid newspaper the News of the World will be no more after this sunday. Its downfall was due to the withdraw of major advertising and public boycott over the outrage of phone hacking and the subsequent underhanded sensational  stories that ended up in print .  

"Cathode Control" was written primarily about TV but its applicable to all forms of media.  

How what we view and read shapes our own aswell as public opinions

 How our appetite for salicious gossip is more important than true news and real discussion
