Song Of The Fortnight - The Barbarians

Well I got somewhat sidetracked and song of the week kind of turned into song of the fortnight and at was a tricky decision - 'She's Like Heroin To Me' by The Gun Club was never far from the turntable while the genius of 'It's Alive' era Ramones was also a strong contender but the out and out winner has to be the greatest band to ever have a one armed drummer - The Barbarians with the awesome 'Moulty' The guitar tone in this song is the sickest thing ever and it's kind of biting 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' which itself was biting 'La Bamba' and it's a hear warming tale of one young mans salvation through music following a horrific injury - aww! Here it is:

Saint Dude's - Boys Gone Wild

The awesome Saint Dude's, veterans of many a Complication live night have finally released their debut album 'Boys Gone Wild' and quite fantastic it is too being a rawkus mash up of 'Circa Now' era Rocket From The Crypt, The Supersuckers and 'Raw Power' era Stooges only not as good as any of those obviously) All the hits are there including 'Rolling Back To Richmond' 'Pow! Lights Out Fool' and the party anthemn 'Hot Sauce' complete with party vibe gang vocal. There's some nice production touched too like sax, female backing vocals (by The Saint Dudettes? The Saint Dolls?) and the little banjo interludes which add to the 'prepare to get eaten by psychopathic hillbillies' Nice work by the the Dudes. Sadly they've no more shows in 2009 but the whole album is streaming over at last fm:
