Stu’s Track Of The Week 29/07/16

So it’s that time of the week again and this week selection comes from Authority Zero and the track Revolution from the album Andiamo which was released in 2004. This is the bands second release and was released under Lava records comprising of 14 tracks one of which is a hidden track.

The lyrics for the song are as follows

Look at the blueprints as they disappear
This is a blank space filled with all our fears
To make a move could be devastation
To take a chance is the way to face them
Make it a choice to take a different road

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

A new state
Renovation
A new day brings you to the nation
These days
Another way to replay
No replay
I think I’m better this way
Times up
I’m innocent, it’s OK
Too late
I should’ve could’ve made me
Why wait ?
But in the end it could be my last big mistake

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

Face first
New days
Choices we’ve made
Face first
New days
The choices we’ve made

Face first
Our ability to choose
I make a change
Instead of saying that it’s just fine
Time to open up and time to realize
You can make a difference if you try

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You gotta stand up and make it known!
You want a revolution?

So lets jump in and give it a listen and as always turn it up load and bang your head.

Fresh Friday’s Featured Artist – SKiTTiSH iTZ

It’s that time of week again folks where Skatronixxx Music scouts the internet to find you some fresh sounds for you playlists. So this weeks Fresh Friday featured artist is SKiTTiSH iTZ, so let find out a bit more…

Photo: Tyler Carney

SKiTTiSH iTZ are a punk band from Boise, Idaho and describe themselves as “cake punk – punk that the whole family can enjoy, and it’s less than 100 calories per serving” The band started in 2006 and are heavily involved in the local music scene. Their sound is contiguously upbeat, their lyrics are positive and relatable with huge hint of refreshing. Their sound reminds me of Green Day in the early years but happy, I just love these guys and have had their albums on repeat all week.

SKiTTiSH iTZ have four albums:
“Back To Reality” – realised this year 2016
“Start The Game” – realised in 2015
“Had A Food Baby” – realised in 2013
“OBJECTS iN MiRROR ARE SKiTTiSH iTZ” – realised in 2011

 

I can honestly say I have not heard a single of SKiTTiSH iTZ that I haven’t loved, their latest album “Back To Reality” is the bands final album, but they are going out in punk style and with a big punk bang! These guys really deserve to have a top spot on your playlist. You can find the guys on Facebook, Twitter, spotify, iTunes and bandcamp which the links will be at the bottom of the page so make sure you check them out.

On This Day 28th July In Music History

Welcome back to another exciting edition of OTD. Lets see where the music history will take us, this weeks edition kicks off in 1954 with the only man I will ever love Elvis Presley as well as appearance from our usual suspects too.

*NOTE* in light of recent events around the world and the deaths of police officers in US, out of respect to our fallen heroes I flat-out refuse to add the song by Ice T from 1992 to the playlist I hope you understand. 

1954

🎙 The first press interview with 19-year-old Elvis Presley was published in the ‘Memphis Press-Scimitar’.

1956

🎙 Gene Vincent made his first appearance on national TV in the US on The Perry Como Show. Vincent had released ‘Woman Love‘ the previous month, but it was the B-side, ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula‘ that eventually made the top 10. The song had been purchased from a fellow hospital patient when Vincent was recovering from leg injuries. A demo of the song made it way to Capitol Records as part of an Elvis sound-alike contest and a re-recorded version gave Vincent a hit .

1960

🎙 Cliff Richard and the Shadows were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘Please Don’t Tease‘, the singers third UK No.1. The song was chosen for release by a poll of Cliff’s fans.

🎙 Roy Orbison entered the UK chart with ‘Only The Lonely‘, which went on to give Roy his first of 3 UK chart toppers. As an operatic rock ballad , it wa a sound unheard of at the time , and is seen as a seminal event in the evolution of Rock and Roll. Released as a 45rpm single by Monument Records in May, 1960, ‘Only The Lonely‘ went to No.2 in the US. The song was turned down by The Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley, so Orbison decided to record the song himself.

1964

🎙 On their second visit to Sweden, The Beatles played two shows at an ice hockey arena, the Johanneshove Isstadion, Stockholm. During the first show, both Paul McCartney and John Lennon received mild electrical shocks from ungrounded microphones. Supporting acts included The Kays, The Moonlighters and The Streaplers.

1966

🎙 Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song ‘Out Of Time‘.

1969

🎙 Police in Moscow reported that thousands of public phone booths had been vandalised after thieves were stealing parts of the phones to convert their acoustic guitars to electric. A feature in a Russian youth magazine had shown details on how to do this.

1973

🎙 The Watkins Glen outdoor summer jam was held outside of Watkins Glen, New York with The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead and The Band. Over 600,000 rock fan attended. Many historians claimed the event was the largest gathering of people in the history of the United States. 150,000 tickets were sold for $10 each, but for all the other people it was a free concert. The crowd was so huge that a large part of the audience was not able to see the stage.

1979

🎙 ‘I Don’t Like Mondays‘ gave The Boomtown Rats their second UK No.1 single. Bob Geldof wrote the song after reading a report on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California. She killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was “I don’t like Mondays, this livens up the day.”

1987

🎙 Kylie Minogue released a cover version of the Gerry Goffin and Carole King penned song ‘The Loco-Motion‘ in Australia, as her debut single. Minogue has first performed the song at an impromptu performance at an Australian Rules Football charity event with the cast of the Australian soap opera Neighbours. The song reached No.1 in Australia and the success in her home country resulted in her signing a record deal with PWL Records in London, England.

1990

🎙 Elton John started a five-week run at No.1 on the UK album chart with ‘Sleeping Past‘, his fifth No.1 album.

🎙 Partners In Kryme started a four-week run at No.1 with ‘Turtle Power‘ the first rap chart topper in the UK. The one hit wonders track was featured in the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

1991

🎙 Almost 100 arrests were made after an estimated 2,000 youths rioted after MC Hammer concert in Penticon, Canada

1992

🎙 Rapper Ice T announced that Warner Brothers Records would pull the controversial song ‘Cop Killer’ from all future copies of his “Body Count” album. The song had been the target of protests by law enforcement groups who said it encouraged the killing of police. Ice T said he would give away recordings of ‘Cop Killer’ at his concerts. In an ironic twist, he would later join the cast of the NBC police drama, Law and Order.

1996

🎙 Marge Ganser from The Shangri-Las died of breast cancer. The group scored over ten hits during the 60’s including the 1964 US No.1 ‘Leader Of The Pack.’

2000

🎙 Five and Queen were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘We Will Rock You‘, the classic Queen song was only a B-side in 1977 and this new version featured boy band Five and Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

2003

🎙 The wine Sir Cliff Richard made from his Algarve estate started a UK supermarket battle.Fans were asking all the stores when the wine would go on sale with the Tesco chain saying they would be the first, but the Waitrose shops had been selling the £8.49 a bottle red for the last week.

2004

🎙 American soul singer George Williams from The Tymes died of cancer. He had the 1963 US million seller ‘So Much in Love‘ and the 1975 UK No.1 single ‘Ms Grace‘

🎙 Justin Timberlake obtained a restraining order against a photographer who stalked him. A judge in Santa Monica, California, granted the order against photographer Artemus Earl Lister.

2006

🎙 Prince’s second wife Manuela Testolini Nelson filed for divorce. His first marriage, to dancer Mayte Garcia, took place in 1996 but only lasted two years.

2008

2011

🎙 Marvin Lee Aday, the 63-year-old singer who goes by the name of Meat Loaf, passed out onstage at Pittsburgh’s Trib Amphitheater during an apparent asthma attack. After about ten minutes he regained his composure and finished the show.

Stu’s Track Of The Week 23/07/16

So here we are again and it’s time for my Track Of The Week and this weeks choice comes from Asking Alexandria and the song Not The American Average from the album Stand Up and Scream which was released in 2009.

The music video for the song was not released until 2011 and is a live performance piece filmed whilst they were on there Epicentre tour.

The lyrics for the song are as follows.

1, 2, 3, 4!
(All the things that she said, was it all in my head?)

Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don’t even know your name.
Give me all you’ve got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)

What I would give to live this night again!
I knew when I first saw you,
You would fuck like a whore!
You’d fuck like a whore!
I can hear you scream for more! (yeah!)

Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.
[2x]

Ah, come on!

Girl, get down,
It’s almost over!
Take it all the way!
Oh!

You stupid fucking whore!

And after all of all my dreaming being only you,
You’re standing there, baby, oh,
The things that I could do!
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand!
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride!

One step too late
And I never told you (never told you)
That I can’t take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.

Ten inch!

With your back against the wall!
With your face buried in the pillow!
I see you cold!
I feel you heartless!
Bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!

Fucking bitch.

As always turn up loud and bang your head and I hope you enjoy this weeks track selection and for all your alternative music needs stick with @Deadpool_1984 only at skatronixxx.com

Jet Luckhurst Q&A

☆ When did you start playing and what instruments to you play?

I started singing when I was about 8 years old, I taught myself guitar and drums over the last 10 years. I also play keys and base.

☆ Where do you draw your inspiration from when writing songs?

Concepts and ideas mostly, although I will write about personal experience if it’s particularly significant .

☆ Who are your music influences?

Vocally, the beach boys in part due to Brian Wilsons perfectionism for vocal and harmonic layering. I also take inspiration from artists such as John Mayer, Imogen Heap and the civil wars. I listen to a range of music however from Of Mice and Men to Jurassic 5.

☆ What is your favorite song right now?

Currently , and probably a guilty pleasure but Chainsaw by Nick Jonas.

☆ What has been the best moment in your career so far?

Best moment of my career was touring with number one selling 80s band T’Pau last year in the UK, they have topped the charts in the UK and US and sold an eyewatering number of records. I played a show in Redhill to a sold out crowd and they all sang along to my song ‘I Consider You Home’ (there’s a video on my music page of it), it was pretty crazy I won’t lie.
