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 1 - Podcast

A Bunch Of Kents is the first in what will be an on-going series of podcasts from Urban Fallout featuring Punk/Alternative bands from Kent.
The first couple of podcasts will be music only and about the length of a good punk set - about 45 mins.
Later on we will be putting interviews in with the music as well as adverts for punk gigs in Kent. So if you got anything to say or want an audio advert get in touch.

Onto the music - if we stuck to decently recorded songs of Kent bands we would get to about volume 2 and run out, so we thought sod that, there is so much good punk / alt music in Kent that its a shame that a lot of it doesnt get heard, so we are going to change that.
You will find well recorded CD tracks along with dodgy bedroom tapes and just about listenable live recordings as these are the only things left of some of the best bands the world has never heard.
We tried to improve the quality a bit on some of them to make them more listenable, but you will find a fair amount of hiss on some of the tracks which have been ripped from Demo tapes and live recordings, we also have some extremely rare, unreleased and in some cases unheard music from the best and the worst bands - in other words A Bunch Of Kents
