Richard Lloyd - Alchemy (1979)


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Alchemy is the debut solo album of Television guitarist, Richard Lloyd. It was released in 1979, one year after the break up of Television and the release of their second album, Adventure. Trouser Press called it "a gem of a solo album." Its title track was a minor New York FM radio hit.

It features Lloyd on lead guitar, harmonica, piano and vocals, Matthew Mackenzie on guitar, piano and background vocals, James Mastro (later of the Bongos) on guitar, Fred Smith (of Television) on bass, "Heineken bass" and background vocals, and Vinny DeNunzio (formerly of the Feelies) on drums and background vocals. Producer Michael Young later added guitar and synthesizer overdubs to some tracks, which Lloyd has stated that he strenuously opposed.

The Suicide Commandos - Time Bomb (2017)


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The Suicide Commandos release their second album Friday — and given that it’s 39 years in the making, it’s got a particularly appropriate title: “Time Bomb.”

The pioneering Minneapolis punk rock trio — Osgood, bassist Steve Almaas and drummer Dave Ahl — formed in 1975 with a stripped-down, ferocious sound that updated the garage rock of the ’60s for a new generation. They opened the doors for the flood of local bands that followed, including the Replacements, Husker Du and the Suburbs. But their initial run lasted just four years.

Berlin Blondes - S/T (1980)


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

A late 70's minimal synth wave band from Glasgow, Scotland.
"The first single was released early in 1980, so that was before the phrase 'New Romantic' had been coined. I guess they would have been called 'Futurists'. Something I've noticed from looking in old copies of Sounds mag from 1980 is they often used term "New Musik" for anything weird that used synths".

The Sweat - No More Running (1981)


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

     Clive Culbertson was the driving force behind Ireland's The Sweat, but if you don't recognize either of those names you're hardly alone, especially if you find yourself Stateside. For that matter, given the bent of No More Running's reissue liner notes, you'd get the impression they didn't make a dent in the British Isles either, due to a poor distribution effort on the part of The Sweat's label, Double D. Furthermore, this is one record that really deserved an entry in John Borack's Top 200 power pop albums roster in the 2007 Shake Some Action book. No More Running is sincerely that white-hot of a contender, entailing such deftly crafted, melodious salvos as "You Gotta Lotta Nerve," "How Much Longer" and "Isn't Anything Sacred Anymore." Culbertson's aptitude often borders the same hallowed turf as Shoes, Jesus of Cool-era Nick Lowe, and the Nerves (yes, thatNerves). When you place this high a premium on hooks the results are bound to be good, and in this case they're veritably off the charts.
     Sonically, the fidelity on No More Running dangles towards the "lo" end of the spectrum, oozing warm, analogue hues that couldn't be replicated in this day and age no matter how much effort was put forth to do so. In short, this is power pop as it used to be made, and Culbertson happens to be an immensely unheralded practitioner of the medium. The 2007 reissue on the Japanese 1977 imprint includes seven bonus cuts, including four from Clive's precursor act No Sweat. Additional material from this era was also committed to tape under his own name, and is available on a separate release that I can hopefully attend to later (and you shouldn't have to wait a whole 'nother year to partake in it).

01. Isn't Anything Sacred Anymore
02. Here Comes Another Lonely Night
03. No More Running
04. You Gotta Lotta Nerve
05. I Can Hardly Wait
06. Can't Help Myself

08. Please Don't Say You Love Me

11. Do You Wanna Break My Heart
12. How Much Longer

Ruts DC - Animal now (1981)


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

With their unique blend of raucous punk rock laced with reggae and dub, the Ruts were one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Britain's late-'70s scene.
  Their sole album "The Crack" (1979) is among the pure punk rock masterpieces of all times.
  Their career was cut cruelly short by the death of their singer Malcolm Owen in 1980, but still the group released six crucial singles and a seminal album in their short lifetime.
   They were also a powerful force within Britain's Rock Against Racism movement, ensuring a political legacy at least as vital as their music.
   The rise of the neo-Nazi National Front and its deliberate recruitment of young people, saw the bandmembers take on an increasingly political stance of their own, adding their own voice to the growing grassroots opposition to the fascist threat.
   After Owen's death the remaining Ruts, Segs Jennings, Dave Ruffy and Paul Fox with the addition of sax player Gary Barnacle, kept things going using the name Ruts D.C and pushing the sound of The Ruts at its logical progression.
Their punk is more dark and their reggae is more dub!
This record is a forgotten treasure, one of the most fascinating records of the post punk scene.
