Forty Marshas – “Sold Me Out” mp3
Funny, funny, funny. I admit, I was skeptical when I heard the first line of this, the yowling, snarling singer, yelping away like Johnny Rotten as a pissed off 14 year-old Rancid fan in the most boring suburb of America. But by the second line, I was hooked! And yes, I want to hear more so I’ll dig deeper into the jagged punk pop of Forty Marshas. Forty Marshas. Forty Marshas Brady? My goodness, that would be a thing. Or is it another Marsha? Must know, must know.. This is a Kinks cover that these Marshas hauled over the punk rock mountains.

Black Cock – “A Fast One” mp3
That’s a Rooster Noir, silly, get your mind out of the gutter. With Robot Child With a God Complex being the name of their album, I guessed their lyrics would be fun and confrontational as well. This track doesn’t dissapoint in that regard. Oedipal crazed nightmarish wet dream. Musically original and bizarre. New wave gone to an insane asylum. Pogo in a strait jacket.

Rude City Riots – “Victoria” mp3
A gleeful tale of woe and woo, told in ebullient third wave ska punk rapture. Did I form that sentence? I did. This is power pop the way the kids do it now, try and keep up, Opa.

Del the Funky Homosapien – “Jaw Gymnastics” mp3
The inimitable Del tha Funky Homosapien. This guy is so many heads and shoulders above most of his peers, they can’t even see that high. He’s the missing Bugs Bunny cartoon when the Tasmanian Devil, Elmer Fudd and Daffy all died. Sit down.
