Torture The Middle Room Non Erotic Male Bonding N.E.M.B. has to be one of the weirdest names for a post punk group around. I have no information at all on this outfit, except the record sleeve tells me they are from Baltimore and the record label is based in Tampa. Does the band name suggest […]

Bankrobber / Rockers Galore Tribute to Joe Strummer who passed on way way too early, six years ago on this day. Presenting his finest moment (in my opinion) on record and the orbituary from The Times newspaper. Joe Strummer, rock singer and lyricist, was born in Ankara, Turkey, on August 21, 1952.

Neckodeemus Solid Foundation Uploaded for you the debut release by the Jamaican vocal harmony duo The Congos, released on a Lee Perry Upsetter Disco Cork 12″ and one of the best from the Black Ark Studio in Washington Gardens, Kingston.

These debut recordings backed up by Throbbing Gristle for this session and released on Industrial Records are not pleasant listening. ‘Candy Man’ is a track that lists all the teenage victims and how they died at the hand of […]
