Nothing wrong with being "a bit neg," Muck. Most music falls into that gray area of not being either "great" or "terrible," and NMA is definitely one of those. I listened to them for a while back in the mid '80s, esp. the first record, but that's only because we had it at the radio station I DJed at back then. At the time there were comparisons floating around to the Clash more than U2 (ugh). But I couldn't get into their other records at all. And now when I hear them, well, let's just say their music has not aged well. There are SO many more deserving bands to discuss... I'd suggest getting back to those. :)

Hey Doc. I saw them a few times in their early days (mid-Eighties). They were a very refreshing take on punk with a lead singer/guitarist who wasn't afraid to express his Quaker beliefs, an incredible bass player who had been listening to JJ Burnell, but pushed it right out front and a rock steady drummer back there keeping perfect time. They had a lot of positive energy but...by the time they released their second album (Vengence) it was all over for me. Their first mini-album - every tune a classic (Small Town England, Sex, Falklands Spirit...). If they're still out there and still doing it I say good for them and if you're into it that's cool, but not my cup of tea.

I saw them 3 times supporting other bands in the mid-eighties never heard anything about them since although posters for shows appear on slum walls every 2 or 3 years. One of those bands with one great song (Vengeance) but you cant remember anything else :)

Hi there!

I was wondering what you guys think about New Model Army. I loved them when I was a teenager, and I still love them today, and I think Justin Sullivan has one of the best voices in rock music. But I can also see why they are called the U2 of indie rock.

So I'm curious, what do you think?

Cheers, Doc Sanchez

I heard this song on Fowley's Underground Garage program on Sirius/XM this past Saturday, and I really liked it.  Thanks for providing me with some more information on this woman.

She's got a whole album recorded, plus she's on the BLACK ROOM DOOM soundtrack. Coming soon on Kim's new label, FLESH-O-RAMA (his first record label since Chattahoochee).

Gotta get this........what about any albums :):)

Gotta get this........what about any albums :):)

Kim Fowley's latest project is a brand new single by scream queen Victoria De Mare (Killjoy 3, Werewolf in a Women's Prison) called "World's on Fire."

The single made its debut over the weekend when it was featured on Kim's XM/Sirius radio show, as well as on last night's "Rodney on the ROQ."

I'll be featuring it on THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #34: The Mean Season later this week, and not just because KF is my friend. This song is an instant classic, an infectious little rock n' roll record that has been described as "The Ramones meets the Ronettes" (Chris Carter, "Breakfast with the Beatles"), but I'd say it's more like the Raincoats meets the Runaways. In any case, it's pretty great.

Victoria herself ain't bad, either:

You might as well just call this movie "The Sopranos Reunion"...

I just hope Gandolfini can keep his inner Tony Soprano in check.

That's terrible ! I feel so useless...Just wanted to say to his wife that we support her too...for what it's worth. 

Never met Scott in person neither but he was a great fun virtual friend.

How could we help ?

As someone who has known Scott off and on for the past ten years, I can tell you there have been few things he has loved more than all of the fine folks here at Garagepunk.com. He was the one that turned me on to this place, since one of the big things we bonded over was b-movie/fringe film culture, trash rock, punk, all things psychobilly, etc etc. He's a tough guy who has weathered a lot of things in his life but something that always seem to bring him an insane amount of joy was this place and all of its fantastic podcasts and folks. My life was forever changed the day that I became friends with Scott and I am hoping and praying for a miracle. He's one of a kind babies.

I was stunned, shocked upset annoyed when I heard this as I simile have had great support and interest from Scott over the many months to my podcast show, his enthusiasm for music and sense of humour for the WEIRD have kept me entertained and I'm sure loads of other trash fans too.

I'm really only writing this to let someone somewhere know that Scott dose not deserve this BUT what the fuck can I do other than also pay tribute to one cool guy, lets hope that some kinda miracle in the non spiritual sense comes about to bring Scott back.

We get tens of thousands of listeners on this here podcast network, but one of the most loyal and rabid fans has been Scott Law. He's also a great fan of exploitation movies and other fine cultural artifacts.

I could always count on his enthusiastic response to every new 'cast I posted, whether it was THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW, FLORIDA ROCKS AGAIN!, or TEXAS TYME MACHINE.

Last week, Scott suffered a brain stem aneurysm, and has been in a coma ever since. Those of us who have come to know Scott have been hoping for a miracle. Today, his wife Susan posted this on Facebook:

"Scott is stable and doing better. He will live, but as a vegetable. Meeting with lawyer today to keep that from happening to him. He was too vital and loved life too much to live like that. Pray for me. Thanks."

I'm pretty torn up about this, even though I have never met him person. He had planned on driving to Austin to attend the Sons of Hercules/Kenny and the Kasuals/Texreys show I'm doing next month, and I was looking forward to getting to know him better.

I don't know what to do, there's not much I can do, but I just wanted to pay tribute to the man.

sure!!!

I like alot of Nirvana's music. I don't get into it as much these days but when i was in my early teens it was great cause here was a band that pissed of every kids parents. They sounded way more "dangerous" than Michael Jackson!

I don't believe kurt was murdered though. I think he felt like shit because most of the people who were buying his music were the people he disliked. Although there is a quote from him in his biography that says something like "i wanna be a famous rockstar and die young like Jimi Hendrix". So maybe he got his wish.

Like em or not they were the last band in commercial history to change the face of rock music. I just couldn't stand all those shitty copy cat grunge bands that came out years later like Nickelback and shit uuurrghh!

Is anyone into Ty Segall at all ?? I hear alot of Kurt Cobain influence in his music (and his dress sense too) But that kid does it right! If you like Nirvana Lady Strange you should get Ty Segall's album "Lemons" if you don't have it already of course :-)

I listened to "In Utero" recently its truly terrible and sounds horribly dated. The only record I ever really liked was the first one. They were really overrated and while it sounds shit now they were certainly the band of their time. Pavement and Royal Trux though have aged a lot better

I'm too young...
