New Albums that are "doing it" for you.

[Billy Whizz]

When it was at St Mary's Street?

Used to buy my Springsteen bootlegs in that store in the late 70’s/early 80’s
My prize possession was his “live” recording of Santa Clause

[Peevemor]

I don't know if Shaka Ponk are known in the UK. They're a French electro-rock group who are celebrating 15 years together by releasing a triple album.

Most of their stuff's in English and a lot of it's excellent. They're also renowned as a live act & for their videos.

Maybe a good wee discovery for some of you.

Not that new, been out 6 months I think, but Cornershop’s “England Is A Garden” is very good IMO.

[Hiber-nation]

11 years old is obviously not new :greengrin but today I've discovered that the Manic Street Preachers actually made another great album after Everything Must Go - Journal For Plague Lovers. Can't believe I've never noticed it before now but I just got so fed up with their non-stop anthemic stuff a long time ago.

[Sl1010]

I've recently been listening to Sex,Death and the Infinite Void by a band called Creeper, for fans of Alkaline trio and My Chemical Romance.

Also Misery Never Forgets by Wristmeetsrazor, this is for fans of very aggressive Metal/ Hardcore.

First post, hello everyone! 👋

Gary Barlow has a new album/single out
The single “This is my time” could have been recorded by Prefab Sprout, from the Andromeda Heights album

Save the World by the Queers, first new album in 10 years and after a career spanning nearly 40 years their brand of Ramones meets Beach Boys punk rock is still as catchy, childish, offensive and raucous as it has always been. Top marks.

Now begins the hard task of finding this on vinyl.

A wildly under-appreciated band and a brilliant songwriter.

Lots of good songs, but I find their albums more miss than hit. Only own “Handcream For A Generation” and their latest one. A shame as I’m missing out on some good songs but I prefer to buy the physical album than download songs and the other albums as a whole just don’t do it for me.

I’ve remained a vinyl collector since my youth...love the sound compared to digital and still feel there’s nothing quite the same as reading the sleeve notes of a new LP.

People often miss the real experience a d story of a record by not listening to the album tracks in order.

Anyway, enjoy your new album [emoji106]

Poor and Infamous by Swedish band S.cumdog Millionaire. Blistering punk rock n roll and clearly influenced by the Scandirock bands of the 90s like Turbonegro, the Bones, hellacopters etc.

Listening to the album now. It is really outragous that a 78 year old has produced this.

Shameless self promotion but The Twilight Sad kindly donated some signed items to help raise funds for the Be More Ruby charity which helps raise funds and awareness for rhabdomyosarcoma after a friend lost their six year old daughter Ruby to the disease earlier this year. Put a wee raffle for the prizes up at https://raffall.com/168758/enter-raffle-to-win-signed-twilight-sad-merch-hosted-by-matt-shaw?fbclid=IwAR3nQaQY9KRpHhX-IIm-dIxZSTNo_MdaofLvdWAqBt4yOCSl0m4dntVFJkY.

Was going to do it as an eBay auction but realised that with money so tight for many, a raffle for a fiver a ticket was a far more fair way to do it whilst hopefully raising a whole load of money for the charity too.

Please delete if this isn't allowed but thought I'd promote the hell out of it.

Really enjoying The Avalanches recent album We Will Always Love You.

Lots of great collaborations

The KLF was made available some songs again after deleting their back catalogue nearly 30 years ago rumours we might see some new stuff.

[Hibbyradge]

Tim Minchin has released his first ever music album, Apart Together. As you'd expect from him, the words are intelligent, thoughtful and moving, and it's easy on the ear. I was close to tears listening to the title track, he paints such a sad but beautiful picture. Edinburgh gets a mention in another track too.

It's not groundbreaking musically although the tunes are very good, but it's well arranged and produced, and it's definitely an album I'll be listening to regularly.

[Loopz]

We will always love you by The Avalanches is a beautiful album.

I'm currently giving this its second listen although I might not get through it all before zzzzzzzz.

Yesterday I thought it was the kind of thing I'd enjoy listening to late at night, maybe on a balcony overlooking the sea with a drink in hand.

Tonight I'm listening on headphones and the vibe is a bit different from that. It's still good, but maybe not as contemplative as I thought. (Maybe I should wait before saying that. Interstellar love has just come on and it's exactly what I thought yesterday!)

I am really loving the album. It has a strange emotional pull at times and quite evocative.

I saw that Mick Jones plays on "We go on". I loved the Clash, still do, and MJ used to be a big hero of mine.

The space laser type sound effects on that track were nagging at my memory and reminded me of something I'd heard before. When I noticed it was Mick Jones, I realised that it was like a technique Big Audio Dynamite would use. Maybe it's a nod to E=MC2 or something.

Tom Sanders "Only Magic" album has been a lovely wee find.

I heard the title track "It's only Magic" on Radio 6 and that led me to the album.

I suggest you start the same way. It's a good barometer of the entire work. If you get on with that track, you're likely to enjoy the rest.

Been aware of him for years in various bands like Salsa Celtica. This is the first time I've bought any of his own albums, off the back of an exquisite set at Celtic Connections.

Loving the new Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School of Medicine album "Tea Party Revenge Porn"

Typical blistering attack on American politics, culture and values that should be expected from anything Jello is involved in.

Where previous albums form this group have leaned towards the the more industrial side of his prior work, think Lard, this one is more reminiscent of the Dead Kennedys later stuff, I felt.

New Dropkick Murphys album "turn up that dial" is a pretty decent one after a few listens.
A band that I loved mid 90s after they delivered some great singles and a couple of top notch street punk albums before they tried too hard to be a punk version of the pogues.
These days I just dip in and out of there new albums but this one has been quite a good listen.

I just gave it a listen and, yes, it's a nice album.

You wouldn't know they were from Merseyside though. More Los Angeles in their singing voice than Liverpool unfortunately!

[Sylar]

Not an album, rather an EP:

Of Mice & Men - Bloom.

I thought they lost their way a little bit with EarthandSky but their 2 EPs they've released this year have been off-the-scale good.

New Beartooth album released this morning and it's ferocious.

Onto my third listen already - sounds much more like the classic Beartooth I fell in love with.

Raw, emotional, energetic and heavy as ****.

Not new but released on vinyl for the first time for record store day on nice pink vinyl. Buzzcocks a different compilation is a double album of re-recordings of some of the classics and a few b sides that formed their set list latterly. Whilst the original versions are still my favourites it's a really good listen and has had a good few plays over the last week. Really loving the version of breakdown on this.

Sorry, but not an album (again). One of my mates put me on to this relatively unknown pair from the town where he lives.

I've no idea what language she's singing in, just that her voice is great. The guy's not to shabby on guitar either.

Their other stuff on YouTube is good too.

blood youth doing big things with their 2 latest singles

[Frazerbob]

Inhaler’s debut album is excellent. Hugely influenced by the singer’s old man, no doubt about it. They’ve clearly had a lot of cash thrown at them, judging by the production levels. A mix of The Music, James, The Bravery and The Killers with some Edge guitar chords chucked in for good measure. Very catchy indie commercial rock.

[Babyshamble]

New Chubby & the Gang album, The Mutts Nuts, out last Friday and having had it pre-ordered mine came in rather fetching translucent orange vinyl.
No difficult second album challenges for them here, absolute Stormer of an album that starts off where they left off with unique and unusual hybrid of hardcore/oi/pub rock. Bit more diversity in this album with hints of blues and even a few slower melodic numbers.
Pretty much been on the turntable since Friday now.

One of the highlights of a recent festival I was at was 96 Backs Saturday set. He's the in house artists at Hopeworks and is involved in the festival every year. He played a few times over the weekend but his main gig was promoting his new album. Its kinda leftfield pop, reminds me a bit of Maps. He was so proud be be playing and the authentic joy really shone through in his set. Anyhoo the new album is out today and well worth a listen https://96back1.bandcamp.com/album/love-letters-nine-through-six

Really looking forwards to the new album. Urge for Offal and No one cares..... are my favourite HMHB releases .I struggle to pick a favourite one, it changes frequently. Achtung Bono and no one cares are probably the two I like most if pushed. A lot of the albums were CD only releases so would be good if they did a vinyl re release of them, the demand would likely merit it.

The two songs I have heard off the new one are excellent, Rogation Sunday and I'm getting buried in the morning. I've read good things about Tess of the dormobiles so all sounding positive for that tricky 15th album :greengrin

[nonshinyfinish]

Likewise I really struggle to pick a favourite – possibly McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt if you held a gun to my head. I don't know why you would though, seems massively disproportionate.

Just started listing to a live album, Layla Zoe, Retrospective tour 2019. A mixture of folk, rock and blues with in your face, emotional roller coaster vocals and some delightful guitar work from Krissy Matthews, great stuff. Unfortunately she cancelled her European tour due this year but it’s rescheduled for next year, well worth a trip to Germany to see her.

Forgot I’d pre-ordered Belle & Sebastian’s new album. Was based on the fact it’s Belle & Sebastian and on the singles they’d released at that point. Only given it a quick listen but not sure it’s for me.

Not a new album as a few years old now but just discovered Sundowners, and their self titled debut. Been listening to that a lot recently.

Rich Kids on LSD - live in a dive just got delivered yesterday and first chance to listen properly this morning. Live show recorded in 1989 but only just released and despite me not generally being a fan of live recordings this is a solid album with a great sound.

This is the band that pretty much developed the style that became synonymous with the epitaph/fat wreck chords type skate punk sound of the mid 90s. Just a little bit faster, harder and more metallic.

According to fat Mike of NOFX, RKL are the band they always wanted to be but didn't have enough talent.

Screeching Weasel new release, The awful disclosures of.... it's standard weasel fare of snotty punk rock in that familiar Ramones style. It's not their best album, few albums are as good as some of their early output, but still an excellent offering.

Not seen the dropkick Murphys since they did Dunfermline in 2017, that was a pretty decent gig. They are a safe bet for a good show.

Best time I saw them was at the Cas Rock back in mid 90s and just before their first album came out. It was all that stuff and the boys on the dock ep. Place was bouncing.

From the band that played on Maximum Darkness, only Martin Ace remains in the band (below, right).
Also in the band now is Malcolm Morley, who was part of the Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics (a truly great album) version of the band in 1974.

Terry Williams had brief success with Dire Straits, and has seemingly retired. Micky Jones and Deke Leonard have both sadly died.
John Cippollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service) also guested on Maximum Darkness, and he has also died.

[O'Rourke3]

Not opened this thread for months, agree the Too Rye Ay as it should have sounded is far better than the original. I wasnt expecting it to be as good. Their New Album, The Feminine Divine is a stonker. Some real cracking songs, Kev's Irish guilt and Prince like funk...
Also Magpie Arc's Glamour in the gray. I'm not generally a folkie but grew up with the bass player Alex Hunter who is a good Hibbie. Some stonking rock guitar alongside more trad folk through the album.

It’s quite chilled but not quite what I’d hoped it would be based on how they described it “ Combining their love of 60s and 70s Western cinema, baroque pop, Love, Scott Walker, Sergio Leone, Lee Hazelwood and Ennio Morricone. Was hoping for more of a The Good The Bad & The Ugly and Once Upon A Time In The West sound.

It’s quite chilled but not quite what I’d hoped it would be based on how they described it “ Combining their love of 60s and 70s Western cinema, baroque pop, Love, Scott Walker, Sergio Leone, Lee Hazelwood and Ennio Morricone. Was hoping for more of a The Good The Bad & The Ugly and Once Upon A Time In The West sound.

New Mikes Kane album is also ok. Has its moments but not as good as his earlier albums.

If you're needing a spaghetti western type fix, turn your speakers up and give The Lonely Shepherd by Gheorghe Zamfir a blast!

New Teenage Fanclub album, Nothing Lasts Forever, is good. Quintessentially Teenage Fanclub, so they’re not pushing any boundaries, but they do what they do well.

Loving Kula Shaker’s new album, “Natural Magick”. Parts of it are a bit like if The LA’s we’re Indian and not Scouse.

Also got Cast’s new album, but not had a chance to listen to it yet.

Steve Mason Brothers and sisters. Saw him in St Luke's in Glasgow.

Just listened to Cast’s new album, “Love Is The Call”. Very good. Quintessentially Cast so not pushing any musical boundaries, good nonetheless though.

New Paul Weller album announced today, “66”, out in May. Quite like the track released with the announcement.

Loved their first album, not so keen on their subsequent releases. Shocked to discover it was released 28 years ago! :rolleyes:

Enjoying Nadine Shah’s new album.

Blasted by Mean Jeans, musically it's much the same as their previous outings and it's pretty standard Ramones influenced pop punk. What it is though is 30 minutes of super catchy and fun songs.

It is surprisingly good, probably their best album since their debut.

I went to see John Power at Assai last week and I bought the record as much for a ticket to see that short set and get some records signed. But I've not really stopped listening in the past week. It's brilliant.

Light a candle for the lonely by Ghost Work, just arrived today and it's had quite a few spins already. Indie rock/post punk from guys that were previously in Seaweed and Snapcase amongst others.
Really enjoying this one.

Whit a voice? Very Amy Winehouse.

I’ve been listening to it a lot. I actually think it’s their best album.

On that theme, not sure if it’s a sign of getting old or bands aging like a fine wine. I thought, like Cast’s new album, the last Manics album, the second to last Teenage Fan Club album and last Kula Shaker albums, as examples, were arguably those bands best albums. Is that a sign of growing old with a band(s) or simply good bands keeping up their quality?

Cock Sparrer new album Hand on Heart, sadly it's also their last album, has been on pretty much constant since it came out Friday.

It's a brilliant album. Going to see them in Glasgow at the weekend. Last time I saw them was at Blackpool after The Dammed pulled out of Rebellion and they were a bit rusty. Expecting them to be back on form on Saturday.

I'm gonna pass because I'm not keen on O2. Last time I saw them was back in 2017 at liquid rooms when forever came out. I've seen them a ton of times since they got back together in 90s and they've always been top notch. Think it was the guilty as charged tour I saw them first.

Best one was at a punk festival in Bergara in the Basque country in 2000. We were drinking with them the night before their show and and next night they came on and went "we're cock sparrer from London, this one's called running riot and it's for the lads from Hibs." Quite a lot of puzzled west ham hooligans and assorted skinheads around us :greengrin. 27812

Purchased on vinyl the re-release of Flowered Up’s A Life With Brian. A quality trip down memory lane.

Thanks for recommending it. I was never aware of this band. It's superb and deserves many listens. it is a pity they only released one album.

Krissy Matthews is about to release a new album, “ Krissy Matthews and friends”, 3 hours of blues recorded with numerous stalwarts of the blues scene. He is playing at Bannermans on May 30, you could do worse than spend a couple of hours watching a guitarist reckoned to be among the best in the country right now

[Frazerbob]

The K's debut album, I Wonder If The World Knows?. Released a couple of weeks ago and very enjoyable.

Another 90’s revisit and another band who done one amazing album then disappeared.

Only God Was Above Us by Vampire Weekend....sublime.

Listening to the new Arab Strap album, "I am totally fine with it don't give a **** anymore". It is rather good

I know the thread is for new albums, but I relistened to the first Glasvegas album.

It really is superb. His lyrics are so vivid (is that the right adjective?) and poignant as are the subjects he deals with.

I could probably do without the tracks "Stabbed" and "Go Square Go" is a bit throwaway but that's just my opinion. Apart from that, I think it's a masterpiece.

I played it endlessly at 1st .listened to it all again after about 2 years,fantastic

On a similar theme I started to listen to a lot of Frightened Rabbit stuff and similarly a lot of the late Scott Hutchisons lyrics are very synonymous to how he felt in his personal life and ultimately to his death

‘Machinism’, the new album from Man of Moon is out on all the usual formats including vinyl. Singer is a good Hibby. Championed by Vic Galloway on Radio Scotland.

Playing Leith Cricket Club on Friday 21st June with Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly DJ set among others.
