English Dogs Rarities (Chris) 
This next segment is for fans of English Dogs. A friend of mine named Daniel recently obtained a copy of an unreleased demo by English Dogs. He was nice enough to forward it to me. Many thanks to Daniel for this kind gesture. The interesting thing about the demo is that it was recorded during a massive sound and lineup change. English Dogs went from a UK82 style band to a crossover powerhouse in (what seems like) under a year. When writing for their new sound the dogs asked long time friend of rhythm guitarist Jon Murray, Trace Abbott to assist. Trace is the guitarist and founding member of the NWOBHM band Overdrive and also played with Witchfynde. Jon had played bass with overdrive prior to starting English Dogs. So, this demo is three songs. Two of which most English Dogs fans should be familiar with and one unreleased track. Let’s have a listen to some of the demo. This is the demo version, recorded August 22nd 1984, of Ambassador of Fear.   

ENGLISH DOGS - Ambassador of Fear (Unreleased demo) 
ENGLISH DOGS - Incisor (Unreleased demo) 

Those were demo versions of Ambassador of Fear and Incisor by English Dogs. The lineup that recorded these versions consisted of 3 members of the classic line up. Jon, Wattie and Pinch. With Trace on lead guitar and friend of the band Troy on Vocals. I was lucky enough to speak with Trace regarding this demo and he helped me fill in a few blanks. I should mention that this is not uncharted territory. Negative Insight did a brief but informative write up about this rarity. Check the live Facebook commentary or the equalizingXdistort blog for links. One thing that struck me besides the difference in lead guitar players was that the demo featured a vocalist that wasn’t part of either lineup of the band; UK82 or crossover. As Trace explained, he was a friend. However, this demo was used to recruit a new vocalist; Ade Bailey formerly of Ultra Violent. Wakey having departed the band, because of the new music style. Due to Trace’s involvement in Pendragon coupled with the loss of a loved one, he was not able to fill the role of permanent lead guitarist. But life long friend of Trace and former member of the (most excellent) Destructors, Gizz Butt was recruited. Coming up next are the album versions (with Gizz playing lead and Ade on vocals) of the same two songs we just heard!! Once again, this is Ambassador of Fear. 

ENGLISH DOGS - Ambassador of Fear (Rot Records) 
ENGLISH DOGS - Incisor (Rot Records) 

That was Ambassador of Fear and Incisor by English Dogs. This is the unreleased demo material from English Dogs. As well as album versions of the tracks; such as the last two songs we played. Kind of seeing how their sound evolved. Kind of nerding out. I spoke briefly with Trace Abbott of Overdrive (who played lead guitar on the demos) to help me fill in a few blanks. Trace paid to have the demos restored from 1/4” tape this year by Bart Gabriel. The tape itself was damp and covered in mold, but Bart was able to restore it and transfer it to a digital format. I asked Trace if he had done any other collaborations with members of English Dogs and the answer I got was yes; with a but. I mentioned that Jon was the bassist of early Overdrive. What I came to learn was Pinch teamed up with Trace for about a year in the band Metalstorm. However, the only recording was a live board recording that was stolen in 1989. Something that would definitely be nice to check out, unfortunately. In any case both the Dogs and Trace are still at it pursuing their own projects. Overdrive have a new LP ready and are currently looking for a well suited label. I can maybe drop that the album is called Resurrection and features riffs from the lost Metalstorm board mix. Hence resurrection. He’s also playing live with Witchfynde-X. We’re going to close out the set with an unreleased and mostly unknown English Dogs demo. Many thanks to Daniel, Trace, Gizz and Negative Insight for their contributions to this feature. As a lifelong fan this kind of material blows my mind.

The Hard Toms are a band from Toronto with some members who used to play in Son of Happy and Hi Dummy back in the late 80's. A weekend of fun inspired an idea to mix punk rock and Tom Jones songs in a band and the Hard Toms took shape. I was able to speak with the band about this project last week and we editted together the conversation with some material from their two singles. Lounge and punk in one band.

Radio - Sunday, May 17th, 2020

I learned from a friend at work that Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers had died from COVID-19 on May 3rd. One of the first casualties of COVID-19 in the punk scene. So I thought we could do a bit of a tribute to Dave Greenfield, the keyboard player for the Stranglers. Hugh Cornwell tweeted that “Dave was the difference between the Stranglers and every other punk band.” His Wikipedia bio describes his trademark style of rapid arpeggios. He was often likened to Ray Manzarek of the DOORS. “No More Heroes” was one of the first songs that I had heard and has been my pogoing anthem through life. In tribute to Dave Greenfield’s passing here is a set showcasing Dave Greenfield’s work in the Stranglers.

THE STRANGLERS - No More Heroes (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Dead Ringer (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Hanging Around (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Duchess (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Genetix (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Golden Brown (Liberty)

Dead Ringer is also on “No More Heroes” and is a song that Dave Greenfield sung vocals on.

The live version of Hanging Around was recorded at the Horsehoe Tavern on April 14th, 1978 and is song that demonstrates Dave Greenfield’s versatility as a keyboard player.

“Duchess” was next from “The Raven “ LP.

“Genetix” is also found on “The Raven” and this song was pulled out specifically as an example where Greenfield used a Korg VC-10 vocoder to accompany is own vocal with a unique effect.

“Golden Brown” was a song originally written for “MeninBlack” the band’s first concept album. It was written by Greenfield in a waltz time and eventually appeared on “Le Folie” becoming the band’s biggest hit.

Okay so I know this is a punk show but we are going to get a bit deeper on the electronic edge because another significant passing Florian Schneider, a founding member of KRAFTWERK, passed away from cancer on April 21st, 2020, but his death was just announced on May 6th. The founding members originally met at the Academy of Arts in Remcheid in 1968 forming a couple of improvisational bands ORGANIZATION and then PISSOFF which would evolve into KRAFTWERK, which means “Power Plant” in German. Florian played flute which he would combine with electronics and eventually invented an electronic flute. Schneider was interested in sound design (being referred to as a sound fetishist) and fits in with how the band viewed themselves as sound chemists. Florian also combined vocoding with speech synthesis to patent the implementation of something known as robovox. In 1997 the NY Times referred to KRAFTWERK as the Beatles of electronic music with many accolades coming from so many artists as diverse as David Bowie and Afrika Bambaataa. We’re gonna start out this feature with “Airwaves” from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity”.

KRAFTWERK - Airwaves (Kling Klang / Hor Zu / EMI Electrola)
KRAFTWERK - The Model (Capitol)
KRAFTWERK - Pocket Calculator (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - House Phone (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - Tour de France (EMI)

“Airwaves” was taken from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity” and a lot of this material could form the basis for a sci fi score.

“The Model” came from the 1977 release “The Man Machine”

“Pocket Calculator” was probably the first big hit here in North America as the song would get regular airplay on CFNY and came out on the 1981 release “Computer World”.

“House Phone” came from their 1986 release “Electric Café”.

“Tour de France” was Kraftwerks biggest breakout hit but was actually inspired by the band’s love for cycling. They would do interviews where they would just talk about cycling and this song was written as a soundtrack for their cycling pursuits.

Check out this appreciation of Kratfwerk on the BBC.

Radio - Sunday, March 17th, 2019



Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. It is a day to celebrate everything Irish. The first half of the show will be on the origins of the Irish punk scene. The second half will look at the development of Celtic Punk also referred to as folk punk. But we get things started with the POGUES as they inspired this Irish sound and identity within the scene. Download the show here.

THE POGUIES - Waxie's Dargle (Stiff)

Shane McGowan the singer form the POGUES started out in a band called the NIPPLE ERECTORS who formed in London in 1976. They were also known as the NIPs and they released a single in 1978 called “King of the Bop”. It had a slight rockabilly feel to it. We are going to start out the show with the B-Side.

THE NIPPLE ERECTORS - Nervous Wreck (SOHO)
THE BOOMTOWN RATS - Lookin after Number One (Ensign)
THE DUGGIE BRIGGS BAND - Punk-Rockin' Granny! (IT Record Co)
RUDI - Yummy Yummy Yummy (Last Year’s Youth)
THE RADIATORS FROM SPACE - Roxy Girl (Chiswick)

In 1977 a band from Dun Laoghaire released a single called “Lookin’ After No. 1”. The BOOMTOWN RATS was a slang for Belfast  with bombs going off during the troubles and the punks in Belfast didn’t appreciate them using that name.

RUDI often credited as being SLF’s major influence had this awesome Archies cover on this compilation called “Made in Ulster”.

SHOCK TREATMENT - (This Weeks) Manchester (Spit)
BIG SELF - Snakes and Ladders (Good Vibrations)
STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - State of Emergency (Bitter Fruit)
NO SWEAT- You Should Be So Lucky (Rip Off)
PROTEX - Look Out Johnny (Sing Sing)

ACME - Beer Hall in Munich (Spit)
THE SKIDS - The Saints are Coming (Bitter Fruit)
THE DOUBT - Contrast Disorder (Solo / Incognito / Spit)
THE STARJETS - Watch Out (Captain Oi)
THE UNDERTONES - Emergency Cases (Good Vibrations)

RUEFREX - Capital Letters (Kabuki)
THE RIP-OFFS- Stuff the USA
THE DEFECTS – Bitch (WXYZ) 
THE ANDROIDS - Nine to Five (Spit Radio Raheem / Punkarama)
THE OUTCASTS - The Cops are Coming (Good Vibrations / Captain Oi!
NO SWEAT - You Should Be So Lucky (Rip Off)

Such a small island with so many great punk bands. But a genre that I feel was spawned out of the POGUES is Celtic Punk. Many Irish spread across the world and in places that had concentrations like Boston we start to see bands like the DROPKICK MURPHYS start up. One of the first was in Kingston with the MAHONES which is where we get started. 

THE MAHONES - Take Me Back (EMG / True North)
DROPKICK MURPHYS - Curse of a Fallen Soul (TKO / Hellcat / Knock Out
FLOGGING MOLLY - The Seven Deadly Sins (Side One Dummy)

MATILDA'S SCOUNDRELS - Folk Shit Up! (Self-Released

All these bands are from Spain, which seems like a stretch for this sound. But the jig is based on similar time structures as some Spanish music making it a fit.
