Radio - Sunday, March 3rd, 2019

The first half of the show is a feature on Black Punks in the pink scene between 1995 and 2004 with some exceptions carried over for the feature on Chris Murdoch, which makes up part three of our series Black Dots. Tonight's show will look at the years 1995 through to 2004, looking at DC, Detroit, and Halifax.

The second part of this show looks at a lot of new punk with some focuses on new Belgian punk, some powerviolence / crossover and some post punk.

We finish up by playing the rest of the songs from the new Subverter demo as our demo feature.

You can download the show here.

Black Dots 3: 1995 - 2004

BAD BRAINS - Black Dots (Caroline)

In 1994, DELTA 72 started out as an alternative rock band from in Washington DC, which sounded like it was coming up in a scene that grew out of the Revolution Summer and wanted to have some fun in the way that NATION OF ULYSSES did. DELTA 72 had a decidedly soul influence and would invoke this in many of their record titles and album artwork. We are going to start off with a song called “It’s Alright” from “The Soul of a New Machine”.

DELTA 72 – It’s Alright (Touch ‘n Go)
THE GORIES - Detroit Breakdown (New Rose)
SWEATBELLY FREAKDOWN – MCR (Jade Tree)

In 1996, SWEATBELLY FREAKDOWN started out with last line up from SWIZ re-grouping to start a new band. This happened in 1996 and continued until 1999. We heard a track from the ep, which came out first and has the SWIZ feel to it.

Mick Collins is a guitarist and singer for many bands in Detroit, starting out with a Blues / garage band in 1986 called the GORIES and "Detroit Breakdown" is off “I Know you Fine But how You Doin” LP put out on New Rose in 1990. Mick Collins would go on to play in many bands and here is a sampling of some of them. 

BLACKTOPS - Blazing Streets (Au Go Go)
KING SOUND QUARTET - Annihilate this Week
THE DIRTBOMBS - Armageddon Double Feature (Lovesick Blues #4)
THE SCREWS - Strange Things
VOLTAIRE BROTHERS - Trouble Man Everyday (Fall of Rome)

The BLACKTOPS were around between and were a much heavier and darker garage band.  Blazing Streets" is off a full length “Up All Night” released in 1994 on Au Go Go.

KING SOUND QUARTET was around next between 1996 – 1997. They released a single on Estrus, which "Annhilate this week" comes from and  “The Getdown imperative” which came out on In the Red Records in 1997.

THE DIRTBOMBS started out in 1996 and were around for a decade. They were probably the best known of Mick Collins projects hand originally started out as a singles band. "Armageddon Double Feature (Lovesick Blues #4).

THE SCREWS were a side project formed through a RED AUNTS visit to Detroit were they recruited Mick Collins. "Strange Things" appeared on "Shake Your Monkey  which was the band's second release coming out in 2001 also on In The Red. 

And the VOLTAIRE BROTHERS are a two piece side project that plays strictly funk. They are pretty great and and this song comes from their only release "I Sing The Booty Electric". 

A lot of this material was found on a blog called "Nothin' Set Somethin'" in a post called "Mick's Music" that if you enjoyed I would advice checking out further. 

Moving on from Detroit and the one man force of nature, we venture into screamo, a new style of emo that took what the Revolution Summer sound had developed and added spastic mathcore bits with hardcore energy. YAPHET KOTTO was one of those bands who formed in 1996 in Santa Cruz, California and released records on Ebullition Records, a label known for this fledgling new genre. Mag Delena played guitar in this band. 

YAPHET KOTTO - Torn Pictures (Ebullition)
AMALGAMATION - As I Slip into Roles (Rice Control)
PAY THE PRICE - Moving of the Second Hand (Self-Released)

Forbes Graham played in AMALGAMATION from DC between 1999 and 2003 and then PAY THE PRICE afterwards.

In 1997, a band from Southern California started up calling RUIDO.  The band featured  a guy named Lamin. The song "Destino Fatal" came off a split with FUCK ON THE BEACH out of Japan which came out in 2000.

RUIDO – Destino Fatal (Know)
CLOSE CALL - Crooked Cops (Sanitation Station)
ENVISION – Belong (I Drink Milk)
NEGATIVE RAGE - Don't Wanna Talk (Self-Released)
OUTTACONTROLLER - It's True (P. Trash)

Also in 1997 was a band from Boston called CLOSE CALL who were Straight edge band. Rasheed Hale was in the band and this collection of demos can be found up on their bandcamp page.

Meanwhile in Halifax Chris Murdoch was starting out with his first of many bands called ENVISION. Also a straight edge band Chris “Murda’ Murdoch would go on to sing in NEGATIVE RAGE between 2011 - 2015, and OUTTACONTROLLER between 2012 - 2017.  We played a song from each of these bands. Once again Chris' "Black Dots" presentation was one of the main inspirations behind this and Chris also sang in a band called WORD ON THE STREET, which we will play next week. 

A significant amount of this list comes from Afro Punk which we haven't mentioned until now and some bands that we tried to find material on but were unable include the following:
1) Danny Chavez who was in THE VELDT, APOLLO HEIGHTS, and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES (although I don't know what records)
2) THE 90 DAY MEN were a math core band featuring Robert Low from 1996
3) Jaleel Bunton from TV ON THE RADIO, PLEASURE UNIT, MIKE LADD
4) Jeff Jaworski from RED TAPE who were a punk band from Sacramento that formed in 1998
5) Temesgen Wubeuh who was in SUPER CHINCHILLA RESCUE MISSION around from 2001 - 2002 in Baltimore / DC area. 
6) Calvin Taylor – CRUSTY FILTH, HOLY WHORES
7) Mitch “Damage” – ANGRY RED
8) Gary Sullivan – CRO MAGS, B-52s
9) Pat – DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR
10) Kevin Kennebrew – WHITE HOUSE, SWANS
11) Ryan Bland – HOME 33, BUSHMON
12) Nicole – SYSTEMIC INFECTION (2001)
13) Zambia Greene – TEENBEATTERS, OURS
14) Jonathon Wilson – ANASARCA
15) Rodg Little – SANS SOBRIETY (“Cooter Liquor” - 1995), DATA, THE KALI
16) Scottie – STRYDER
17) Harry Wilson – THE PEGANS, FUCK EMO’s
18) Shannon – ACTIVATOR
Without the great work of the film Afro Punk this list would not have been possible and the backbone for this series either.
