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.

The Warriors "Never Forgive Never Forget" Review by Skitzo Joel

Ramsgates Got talent !!!! .

What I find is a real shame is that Thanet is such a poor place for live bands, there's a complete lack of venues or gigs in this area but the whole of Kent has so much going for it musicly. Its a real shame that bands always have to travel so far to find a good place to play and this new album from these lads say's it all to me on exactly what Kent has to offer.

I have to say great artwork on the album great cover and the inside sleeve nice bright and colourful realy eye catching, even on the disk it self.
So as a visual buy, 10 out of 10 straight away. Baseball bats and bowler hats always a winner in my book (Could be a new song title there).

This is a 15 Track album . The opening track has a great intro, old English kind of music, for the first song called "England" Great opening track, great sound, full of power, energy and aggression.
The album as a whole I think is realy very good. Great songs nice clear recording mixed to a very high standard. The Warriors as a band our getting better and better for sure, theres not one song on this album that I dont like.
And to be honest thats very rare for me to say, normaly just one or two songs I like off a new album but I can't fault this one in any way .
Great album lads from start to finish every track sounds great.
Nice and clear and easy to understand whats being sung, it's alright having power and sounding great as a band but if you cant tell whats actualy being sung, what's the point? Nice to get the meaning of songs so we can relate to them.
Songs that stand out to me on this album are track 3, "Suburban Shithole" and track 5, the title track of the album "Never Forgive Never Forget" are my favourite tracks both great songs that I will play all the time.
The album has tracks that I already know, like "Internet Bullies" and "We Are Not The Enemy" - also great tracks.
My total honest opinion for this album is that it's a must buy for any one who likes good music. I am Looking foward to the next one already !!!.
Keep up the good work .

It is called "England" and is out now on Randale Records in Germany and will be available at the gig as well as from Randale Records.
The single is available in Red and Black vinyl and features 2 tracks from each band including a completely new one by The Warriors called "Predator".
Some of you may recognise "England", which Andy H wrote and recorded, originally with Surgery Without Research, before re-recorded a more up tempo version with The Warriors just before joining then permanently on lead guitar.
Also on the bill with their first English gig are Polish band Horrorshow.

Below is a video of England taken in Berlin at the Punk & Disorderly Festival before Andy joined The Warriors. This video features their old guitarist Dave Rowe.
