British Mod Revival vs British Post Punk

[clash77]

clash77, I really dig that Bureaucrats song Singer sounds like Jimmy in "Quadrophenia" aka Phil Daniels of "Parklife" voice-over. I am going to look into these lads.

You can thank Welly for posting that .If you're looking to hear more, They released a cd with all their recordings .It came out in the late 90's if I recall? Im sure you can find it somwhere on the net..

[JGJR]

Now I have, JGJR. Very nice rendition. I'd like to hear it with a bit more balls. Like to cover it sometime.

The recorded version (on Nushu's GREAT covers EP Joystick) is a bit better, though not necessarily more ballsy than that live version. I'm glad you dig it, though.

[77clash]

Guess what I really need is someone's own Best of British Mod Revival comp CD-r if anyone here's willing to share online or post. Any givers

Maybe in the next week or two I can put one together for you.

[clash77]

Can we consider New Model Army post punk? Just not in a Gang of Four sort of way..Anyway, they were/are a killer band..Janelle and I saw them a couple of years ago..Amazing gig!

[clash77]

Let me also include TV21..Great Scottish band ..If you're actually following this thread, Then you will want to check them out..The ep's/ singles are amazing and they released an lp A Thin Red Line in '81 I believe..

[john stabb]

Thank you, 77clash. Look fwd to hearing it.

[version sound]

Y'all are both NVTS nuts. British post-punk by leaps and bounds.

SRSLY, yo.

Hey, I recognize that from that The Young Ones show. Always liked that tune but never knew much about the band.

Great show. That is where I first saw Motorhead and heard "Ace of Spades".

The vocalist also did a mod revival band in the 80's called The Truth.

I saw them live, although only heard the first two 7"s at the time I think.

Saw them in December and they were really great. I have a couple of records by them ,but never really gave them the attention they deserved it seems.

Always been into NMA. Everything up to Thunder And Consolation is solid, after that it's patchy. First three are great, especially first and third albums. The lyrics were a big influence for me. In fact, my old band's name was partially inspired by a line from NMA. Every now and again I'll just have a New Model Army day and play all their stuff. Never seen 'em live, have an old pal who's a full on follower (with clogs) but I never wanted to pay the ticket prices, so always skipped 'em.

[patient_ot]

To Clash77,

I like NMA and TV21 a lot.

There was a TV21 discog CD from a few years back on Cherry Red, but everything was unfortunately mastered from vinyl. I would also say NMA's first four are essential - haven't heard anything after that really.

I need to look into that TV 21 release..Wondering if there's any other material that I dont already have? Thanks for the tip, I wasnt aware of that cd..As for NMA..If they come back to US,go see them..

I saw them twice (both times in 2005, incidentally) and they were superb. I'm kind of with Gary, though. I have a few of their records and a best of comp and I like them quite a bit, but I feel like I need to spend more time with them because I really like everything I've heard by them and yeah, great lyrics!

[clash77]

The Salford Jets...hmmmmm

[johnnotkathi]

Geez you guys know a lot about music!!

I was able to download that 2 part comp but not able to hear it. What gives

You need to unzip it with RAR software.

[Gary]

Would this be worth getting?

[lewdd]

I will be buying it. Thanks, Gary!

[dave123]

Not even a close comparison for me. I grew up on the mod revival bands from the UK (Secret Affair, Lambrettas, Gents, Purple Hearts, etc.). The Lambrettas version of Poison Ivy was a big hit around around my school. I wore a Secret Affair badge with pride. However, all of these bands were dwarfed by the Jam. Because of the Jam, their is no need to mention UK post punk in a comparison.

Use 7-Zip instead.

I'll have to know that my avatar is the new Spoon album and its one of 2014's best. Make a brave jump into years that occurred after 1977 and get with the program.
