The Screaming Brendas
The Screaming Brendas – ‘Darren’s Night Out’ (Download) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] The Screaming Brendas hailed from Darwin and were around in the late 90s – early 2000s. The band sent me this cool 3-track demo on CDR for a DIY as fuck compilation I put out around that time called Punk?...
Rollins Band – Rise Above Tour Bootleg
If it weren’t for sweets and presents then Xmas would simply be a load of bollocks to this grumpy ole atheist. But seeing as I do like sweets and presents, I’m happy to gate crash the party. So, in the spirit of giving, I give you the complete bootleg recording of the Rollins Band rockin’...
Paint Stripper
Paint Stripper – ‘Prozac 20′ (mp3) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Paint Stripper is one of my favourite Australian bands from the mid 1990s. Today’s track Prozac 20 is from their 1996 LP, Strontium 90. Information on Paint Stripper is criminally absent from the web as far as I can tell. The Melbourne...
Dave and the Derro’s – Punk Princess
'Punk Princess' is a b-side to the 1978 release 'Death to Disco' on Mushroom Records by Dave and the Derros. Dave, aka David Jones, wrote novelty songs for his radio show in Newcastle NSW, Australia. I'm presuming this was one of them.
Rollins Band – Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment
This is the first bootleg recording to make an appearance on the Revenge Radio MP3 blog. There will be many more to come! We're gonna kick things off with the Rollins Band from the Rise Above Tour in 2003. The song is a cover of the classic Ramones tune 'Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment'.
X-Ray Spex – I Am A Poseur
There’s nothing rare or obscure about today’s track. It’s just a goodun. Snap, crackle and pop!
Peyote – Crazed
Does anyone remember the Newcastle band Peyote? They seemed to disappear as quickly as they arrived on the scene back in 1995. I don't know/remember much about them so would appreciate it if anyone could fill in the gaps.
The Hook ‘n’ Pull Gang
The Hook 'n' Pull Gang were part of the late 80s indie scene in Edinburgh, Scotland. Described as "a cross between the Sex Pistols and the Ronettes," punters remember the band as a strong live act. They were known for singing about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and influenced other bands in the Edinburgh scene such...
Princess of Mars – Demo
I know it's the intention of this blog to delve into past releases/material, but when you learn who is playing in this relatively new band you'll understand why a post was deemed necessary. Princess of Mars features some mighty fine personnel from two amazing bands that demand your attention - we're talkin' the guitar prowess...
Räuberhöhle (Berlin, Germany)
Räuberhöhle sent in her 2000 CD-R release 'Knallerbsen und Sprengkörper' for consideration for a compilation I put out years ago. The demo featured four tracks of what would probably best be described as 'riot beats', in a style not dissimilar to Julie Ruin and Le Tigre. Armed with various Casios, kids toys that go beep...
Redsands (Sydney, Australia)
This is another demo received for the radio show some time in 2001-02. I have a feeling that if Redsands had managed to stay together they could have made quite an impact on the Aussie metal scene. This release received airplay on Triple J's metal program of the day but they broke up prematurely, yet...
Betty Davis – Dedicated to the Press
Betty Davis is not just a 1970s funk diva, she's the diva of every god damn thing as far as I'm concerned, and if you're not yet acquainted, consider this your introduction. Davis' music career spanned a few short years (73-79) with three studio albums. She was dubbed the 'wild-woman' of funk, an out spoken,...
