RAVING POP BLAST!
RAVE
20211 LP /CD /LP (Deep Purple Vinyl)
VARIOUS
ARTISTS :STRANGE CREATURES (THE BEST OF REBELS VOLUME TWO)
MARCH
1st 2021 - PRE ORDERS NOW!
Following
on from last years ‘Rebel Rousers (The Best Of Rebels Volume One)’ (RAVE
20201), here we have the second edition, and it’s another fantastic compilation
crammed full of Garage, Mod, R&B, Surf, Freakbeat, Psych & Rock &
Roll tracks.
These
‘Rebels’ compilations are fundraisers for different charities. (In this case
the RSPCA).
Inspired
by the 1980’s collection ‘Pebbles’ which collected together 60’s Garage punk
bands, most of whom would have vanished without trace if not for Pebbles
unearthing them and turning them into essential ‘must haves’, for lovers of
raw, often cheaply recorded, guitar based music.
‘Rebels’
brings together like minded Bands/Artists from all over the world, who are
doing it for love, with no glancing towards what’s popular, or what the current
musical fashions dictate.
So
here we have 16 bands, all different but all with a burning desire to play their
own kind of rock and roll. The Garage 60’s vibe of Leeds based; The See No Evils, The Wah-Wah
grooves of The DC Spectres & from
Belgium: Thee Martian Boyfriends & Vice Barons.
To
the Joe Meek style twangs of Diamond Daddios. The Mod-flavour of (Ex Prisoners)
Galileo 7. (Ex -Makin’ Time) The Deep Six, and The Hurricanes (who bring back
memories in our opinion, of The Purple Hearts, but without sounding like a rip
off of them!).
Bristol’s
very own, Joe James & His Pariahs,
conjure up an authentic mid 60’s Freakbeat sound, while also from Bristol,
Rauschenberg get all space-out. The Jack Cades offer up their ‘reverb on 10’
take on The Byrds jangle sound, and two young 14 year olds from Devon – The
Lysping Mynor Byrds – mash up a surf classic with a Clash solo! - And lucky for
us someone pressed record on the cassette recorder!.
The
self declared ‘Best Live Band In Britain’- London Based; The Fallen Leaves
(with drummer Brett Ascott formally of The Chords) tell us the tale of the
‘Motorcycle Girl’ in an exclusive live recording. Meanwhile Coventry’s Sawdust
Caesars have been dragged back from the grave screaming (LP on the way on
Raving Pop Blast!) with their lo-fi-acid-pop-psych, and the don’t move or
you’ll miss it ‘Flower Pop Show’. While from up in Scotland we have the most
wonderful ‘The Nettelles’ who mix their Garage Punk with a kind of Lo-Fi-C86
rumble. And back down to Taunton where you’ll possibly bump into Palooka 5, as
they’ll most likely be wearing camouflage gear!
Play
this loud, and often! I’m sure you’ll agree that is highly refreshing to
discover so many GREAT bands all doing their own thing, with a thread of rock
and roll spirit that ties them all together. And none of them want to be the
new ‘…insert name of the latest new big thing’ and for that reason alone
STRANGE CREATURES’ Should be in your record collection.
Expect;
‘The Beat From 20,000 Garages (The Best Of Rebels Volume Three)’ later in the
year!
