Send a textSelf Entitled is the twelfth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was released on September 11, 2012 through Fat Wreck Chords.The album took more than a year to materialize. Vocalist and bassist Fat Mike revealed to The Daily Times in January 2011 that a follow-up to Coaster was in production, explaining "There are some really good songs on Coaster, but after having written 300 songs, I feel lucky I came up with them. That's why there are songs on there about Iron Maiden and Tegan and Sara. I'm reaching, man. Sometimes I grab stuff just to grab stuff, and I'm going in a lot of different directions."[6] In December of that year, Fat Mike revealed to Phoenix New Times that he had begun work on a new NOFX album and a soundtrack to a "fetish film" called Rubber Bordello.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_EntitledSupport the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-Music Check out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth Records Steve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)

"We've been through mass destruction once, but once was not enough" this week Sean brings in ZEN ARCADE (1984) by Minnesota hardcore punk band HÜSKER DÜ

Send a textThe cold open was previously aired during the Pixies Surfer Rosa rerun since I thought it was topical, and now again since it bled into this episode's introduction. In case anyone was confused!Zen Arcade is the second studio album by American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in July 1984 on SST Records. Originally released as a double album on two vinyl LPs, Zen Arcade tells the story of a young boy who runs away from an unfulfilling home life, only to find the world outside is even worse.[7] Zen Arcade and subsequent Hüsker Dü albums were instrumental in the creation of the alternative rock genre,[8][9]and it is considered by some to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time.Hüsker Dü had gained notice in the American indie music scene of the early 1980s as a fast, aggressive hardcore punk band. They were the first non-West Coast group signed to the California independent record label SST Records, which at the time specialized in releases by hardcore bands, most notably Black Flag. However, the trio's music was becoming more melodic and nuanced with each albumSupport the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-Music Check out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth Records Steve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)

"They're glad to be your friend, they hate the public they defend, they call the shots from start to end, shots from start to end" this week we're looking at STRAWBERRIES (1982) by English goth band THE DAMNED

Send a textStrawberries is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Damned. It was released in October 1982 by record label Bronze. Limited editions included a strawberry-scented lyric insert. The album reached No. 15 in the UK charts,[7] the band's first to reach the Top 20.[8]The record was released as the Damned were enjoying a higher public profile, thanks to the solo success of Captain Sensible. Sensible performed lead vocals on "Life Goes On" and "Don't Bother Me". He also introduced new instruments to the band, including sitar, and cello played by his then-girlfriend, Rachael Bor of the pop group Dolly Mixture.While Strawberries was generally praised for its positive, upbeat melodies, the album marked a time of conflict and division within the band. During the recording, bassist Paul Gray fought with drummer Rat Scabies over management and songwriting responsibilities.[9]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberries_(album)Support the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-Music Check out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth Records Steve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)

"We're all in a melting ship, heading for planet Venus" this week our good friend Clayton brings in a live record from Zamrock band WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc)!

Send a textThis album is part of a boxset from Third Man Live complied with other records from Jack White, Dinosaur Jr., and Mudhoney. I wasn't able to find this album for streaming anywhere so I compiled the studio versions of these songs into this playlist. If you'd like to pick this one up for yourself, check out Discogs!Witch (often stylized as WITCH or W.I.T.C.H.) are a Zamrock band formed in the 1970s. Widely seen as the most popular Zambian band of the 1970s, WITCH (a backronym for "We Intend To Cause Havoc"), was headed by lead vocalist Emanuel "Jagari" Chanda. The band formed during Zambia's post-independence golden days, but by the late 1970s, economic collapse and increasing government authoritarianism saw WITCH, like most Zamrock bands, fading away.[1] The band was revived in 2012 after reissues of their records became popular abroad.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_(Zamrock_band)Support the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-Music Check out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth Records Steve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)
