SUPERSTATE - Pig Society - video

SUPERSTATE are a reasonably new band from Kent who have actually been around a for a year or so creating a set of songs from scratch and recording them for release before ever having done a gig.
By not sticking to the drum, bass, guitar, vocal style of punk rock that we have been accustomed too and allowing the occaisional sample to add to the mix, Superstate have got a rather different sound for a Kent band which might not translate very well live but we have been informed that live gigs will be happening later in the year
Their first release is a 4 track download containing 4 tracks Six Fifty, Superhate, Pig Society and a dub / dance sort of remix of Six Fifty which they have charmingly named The Bunch Of Cunts mix.
The download for all for tracks is available at Bandcamp  or Mediafire

 Some of you may recognise the video below as it was first used with a different version of this track by Warcrime who released that as a video and one other track on a Rudimentary Peni tribute album ( available here ) before changing their name to SUPERSTATE.

A Bunch Of Covers Volume 1 - Podcast

As we hurtle past the Apocalypse that never happened into 2013 we here at the Fallout shelter thought what better way to end the year than with another Podcast. This one is full of cover versions by Kent bands of other bands, not neccesarily from Kent but a fair few are.

2012 was a pretty good year for Kent punk bands with The Half Wits managing to get out of Kent with a little jaunt over to France as support to The Gonads, fronted by Gary Bushell of The Sun fame.
Ted Dibiase & The Million Dollar Punk Band, Insult, Deano's Hose, Criminal Brainstorm, Surgery Without Research, among others also made it out of Kent some only as far as London but the Kent invasion has begun.

The new Surgery Without Research CD "Vengeance" has just been released along with the new one from Insane Society "Farcebook" . The Warriors, The Last Resort, Anthrax, PCF, Jesus Fix have all released excellent albums this year - some of them reviewed on this blog.
Most of them available at the  URBAN FALLOUT website
Both The Warriors and The Last Resort got to support Rancid on their tour and in The Warriors case CockSparrer as well - nice one.
It has been quite a good year with some top notch punk being put on all over the county and Kent punk being spread over the country.

So what about 2013 for the Kent Punk scene
With albums being threatened by  The Half Wits, Insult, Jesus Fix and Ted Dibiase who have made it onto next years Another Winter Of Discontent at the Boston Arms, 2013 is already looking good. So come on 2013 lets fucking ave it, lets get more bands out of Kent lets get more people into what we love, drag someone along to a gig, hijack their iPods and fill em with punk, play punk at your friends when they come to your house, teach them to play an instrument - lets make 2012 the start of the apunkcalypse and make 2013 wonder what hit it.

This will probably be the only podcast of covers unless anyone can supply any other covers by kent bands.
There are quite a few unreleased demo's and live tracks here as live is usually the only time you can hear a band play a cover. In the case of Decades Of Pleasure, I have the master recording of this live cover version and there is a tape dip in the middle, it had to be ripped or lost forever.

Jesus Fix & PCF (New CD Releases)

It's been a bit chaotic here as we managed to bring out two Cd's this month and maybe the last until 2013 - maybe. We have also sorted out digital downloads for our releases. More Info below

First up is a "Everdark" the lost first "Jesus Fix" album.
This album was recorded a few years ago and was never released for various reasons until now. Featuring a whole CD's worth of tunes that you will never hear again according to the band. This is a 10 track Limited Edition of 100 hand numbered vinyl CD's (made to look like an old record) in a Digipak complete with an A3 poster.
The brand new and proper debut Jesus Fix album provisionally entitled "Bring Me God" will be out in a couple of months. Album track list and further info here

Second up is the debut album proper from PCF or Punk Con Fusion, or all manner of other names but we will stick to PCF. Having self released and recorded their first effort - Drop Your Fish...And Watch It Fly, which is only available from the band, they recorded this at Rocket Fridge Studio and went for their live sound, the resulting noise is perfectly captured on "Waltz 'n' All" CD which comes with a double sided A3 poster for the first 100 and a badge for the first 50 orders.

This album is also available as a digital download with extra tracks and all the artwork - More Info

The Warriors - Never Forgive Never Forget is also available with extra tracks and all the artwork as a digtal download

Reviews of either album welcome

A Bunch Of Kents - Volume 4 - Podcast

And we make it to Volume 4 - thanks to everyone who downloaded the previous three, all of which are still available to download.
On this podcast we have two new Kent bands starting and finishing this one. The opener "I Hate Football" is possibly the best anti-football song ever written - get this recorded properly guys it's gonna be a classic. The closer "We Know Where You Live" is from Superstate which is the new project of ex members of Crimewave and a little different for them. There is also a touch of psychobilly on here as well with Hollywood Suicide and The Crewsy Fixers.
Other than that there is the usual mixture of demos, hard to get hold of tracks and unreleased stuff.

If anyone wants their band (old or new) included or a new track, something unheard, live demos or anything else on the podcast then get in touch.

New Urban Fallout

This blog is going to be part of the new Urban Fallout website, which when it opens next year will sell alternative t-shirts, badges, CDs and music / alternative culture related items and aims at helping to promote Kent punk/alternative/Rock music by giving bands and other artists a place to sell their merch as well.

Part of the money from the sales on the website will go towards helping to keep merch costs down for kent punk/alternative bands when they get their merch from us, as well as a cut to the bands whose merch we sell. Details of this and other deals will be on the website when it opens in the new year. Details later

This blog will act as a fanzine of sorts with the occasional podcast/ video /Mp3 download as well as posting updates on activities of kent punk/alternative bands with an emphasis on those whose merch we sell or who we like. We will also occasionally feature local independent artists, writers and other items of interest.

An Apology.
Apologies to those that followed us before the change in direction. This idea was thought about a long time before this blog originally came into being and i didn't think it would actually happen so used this blog to express alternative writing, art and music. I will still be doing this with the new venture, just in a different way - sort of a step sideways.

Thanks for paying attention.
