The Undertones: The Undertones 2004

 

The Undertones slam-bang punk-pop drew its strength from one simple fact: you didn't need a secret

handshake to enjoy it. John and Damian O'Neill mated infectious guitar hooks to '60s garage, '70s glam rock, and Feargal Sharkey's signature vocal quaver. Those qualities came together on their breakout hit "Teenage Kicks," whose simplicity harked back to '60s ideals of when the song was king.
               

The Undertones are a rock band formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974. From 1975 to 1983, the Undertones consisted of Feargal Sharkey (vocals), John O'Neill (rhythm guitar, vocals), Damian O'Neill

(lead guitar, vocals), Michael Bradley (bass, vocals) and Billy Doherty (drums). Much of the earlier Undertones material drew influence from punk rock and new wave; the Undertones also incorporated elements of rock, glam rock and post-punk into material released after 1979, before citing soul and Motown as the influence for the material released upon their final album. The Undertones released thirteen singles and four studio albums between 1978 and 1983 before Sharkey announced his intention to leave the band in May 1983, citing musical differences as the reason for the break up.
                          

With the arrival of punk rock in late 1976, the artistic focus of the band changed. Artists such as

the Adverts, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and, particularly, the Ramones became major influences on the Undertones. In addition to being a Scout leader, Feargal Sharkey worked as a television repairman and delivery man. The van which Sharkey drove in this employment was used by the Undertones to transport their equipment to and from various venues.
                    

By the following year, the concerts the Undertones performed would include the song "Teenage Kicks",

which had been written by guitarist John O'Neill in mid-1977. The frenzy attracted a deal from Sire Records, which released the band's rough-and-ready debut in April 1979. That fall, the Undertones earned kudos as a support act on the Clash's American tour. So did Hypnotised, which showed a band already straining against the Ramonesy thrust of earlier singles like "Jimmy Jimmy" and "My Perfect Cousin."
                   

However, the Undertones entertained some notions of growing up, which started when they switched to

EMI. Positive Touch (1981) unveiled exotic instrumental flourishes like horns, slide guitars, tack pianos, and even xylophones; its brief residency in the U.K. Top 50 provided the first inklings of trouble. The band returned after a lengthy lay-off with The Sin of Pride (1983), which flirted with '60s soul and psychedelia.
               

In 1999 the boys skirted their former frontman's reluctance by recruiting Derry's Paul McLoone for two

hometown gigs in 1999, and haven't looked back. The reissues kept coming, while the Teenage Kicks (2001) documentary gave fans a fond review of the band's history. Get What You Need, the first new album in 20 years, earned a thumbs-up from fans on its September 2003 release. Twenty-five years after "Teenage Kicks" put the Undertones on the map, the pride of Derry seem more ubiquitous than ever.

Various: The Best Punk Anthems ...Ever! 1998

 

THE  SEX  PISTOLS

Punk rock (also known as simply punk) is a music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s. Rooted in 1950s rock and roll and 1960s garage rock, punk bands rejected the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock music. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often shouted political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent record labels.

THE  UNDERTONES

The term "punk rock" was previously used by American rock critics in the early 1970s to describe the mid-1960s garage bands. Certain late 1960s and early 1970s Detroit acts, such as MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges, and other bands from elsewhere created out-of-the-mainstream music that became highly influential on what was to come.

THE  DAMNED

Glam rock in the UK and the New York Dolls from New York have also been cited as key influences. Between 1974 and 1976, when the genre that became known as punk was developing, prominent acts included Television, Patti Smith, and the Ramones in New York City; the Saints in Brisbane; and the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned in London, and the Buzzcocks in Manchester.

THE  STRANGLERS

By late 1976, punk had become a major cultural phenomenon in the UK. It gave rise to a punk subculture that expressed youthful rebellion through distinctive styles of clothing, such as T-shirts with deliberately offensive graphics, leather jackets, studded or spiked bands and jewellery, safety pins, and bondage and S&M clothes.

THE  BUZZCOCKS

OK, there have been a ton of this type of album. They all have similar songs on, in fact the cross over of songs is sometimes almost identical. This is definately a must own album for anyone who is, in the slightest bit, interested in Punk. Anthem after anthem, there is not a bad track to be found. Punk from when it was being defined. The eternal line ‘Gordon is a moron’ and Buzzcocks classics like ‘Ever Fallen In Love’ remind us who we have to thank for the likes of Green Day and company.

THE  RAMONES

If you really want to know what was going on in England in the late 70's, apart from the dreaded disco era, then you are not going to go wrong with any of the collections out there. However what does set this one apart from the others is, to me at least, the greatest cover version of a song ever...My Way by Sid Viscious!

THE  ONLY  ONES

Sid's rendition, although a little over produced by Mr McClaren, is down and dirty with all the edges bared. Sid manages to change the words on certain lines which unless you listen to them a couple of times you may not pick up.

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS

Needless to say many of the new lines are unprintable. Sid was never the brightest of men, in fact he only made it into the Pistols because he fit the mold better than Glen Matlock, who really could play bass. Sid just knew how to pose with his mock Elvis sneer.

THE  JAM

Anyway, you are not going to go wrong with this album. There are a couple of clinkers on it, how many times can you list to Tom Robinson singing 2-4-6-8? I would have much rather had "sing if you're glad to be gay".

THE  SAINTS

And they definitely could have dropped the Motors singing "Dancing the night away". But the highlights include The Only Ones, Adverts, Stranglers, Damned, Pistols, and my old favorite the punk poet himself John Cooper Clarke.

Soft Cell - Non - Stop Erotic Cabaret 1981 ( Deluxe Edition 2018)

 

Soft Cell are an English synthesizer duo, consisting of Marc Almond (vocals) and David Ball (keyboards), who came to prominence in the early 1980s. Soft Cell was founded in 1977 by Almond

and Ball, who met as art students at Leeds Polytechnic. Best known for their smash 1981 cover of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love," which turned the pop-soul tune into a haunting electronic torch song, synth pop duo Soft Cell formed in England in the late '70s. Also remembered as the first project of singer/songwriter Marc Almond, he and producer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Ball released four U.K. Top 20 albums together between 1981 and 1984 before pursuing separate music careers.
               

Their lyrics often focus on love and romance as well as the darker side of life, with subjects such as the

nightlife, kinky sex, transvestism, drugs and murder. They had a huge world-wide hit in 1981 with a cover version of "Tainted Love," a northern soul classic originally sung by Gloria Jones (the wife of Marc Bolan), that they followed up with more charting singles and one of the first remix Albums "Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing." Their self-penned non-album single "Torch," missed the No.1 spot of the UK charts by a hairbreadth.
                      

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret reached the Top Five of the album charts in the U.K. and Canada. "Tainted 

Love" peaked at number eight on the Hot 100 when it was released in the U.S. in early 1982, and spent over 40 weeks on the chart. Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret also offered the singles "Bedsitter" and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye," which were Top Five hits in the U.K.
                 

In the U.S., Soft Cell, the British duo of singer Marc Almond and instrumentalist David Ball, was a

classic one-hit wonder, that hit being the remake of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love," which dominated dance clubs and eventually peaked in the pop Top Ten with its synth-pop sound and Almond's plaintive vocal in 1981-1982. In the U.K., the group not only had a longer career, but also influenced a raft of similar performers.
                        

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, originally released in Britain in the fall of 1981, contained both the band's

first hit and its follow-up, "Bedsitter," its title referring to what in America would be called a studio apartment. (A third U.K. Top Five hit, "Say Hello Wave Goodbye," emerged from the LP.) At full album length, lyricist Almond's primary preoccupation, only suggested in "Tainted Love," was spelled out; this was a theme album about aberrant sexuality, a tour of a red-light district.
                   

"The Art Of Falling Apart'," produced with Mike Thorne and the then new CMI Fairlight at hand with

endless efforts by Dave Ball aiming at perfection followed in 1982. It spawned two singles chosen against the will of the record companies; "Where The Heart Is," and "Numbers," the first on youthful frustration, the later about frequently changing sexual partners and neither sold too well.
                     

The commercial pressure finally collided with their artistic ambitions which led to solo and side

projects and two farewell shows in January 1984 even before "This Last Night In Sodom," was released. They reunited in the early 2000's and toured with a 4th studio album "Cruelty Without Beauty," following in 2002. Once again they reunited for a final well documented "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye," live show in 2018 and the recording of a new single. Their new studio album "*Happiness Not Included," was released in spring of 2022.

Alien Sex Fiend: 6 Albums + The Singles 1983 - 1995

Alien Sex Fiend are an English gothic rock band, theatrical, humorous, and sonically innovative

London band acknowledged as goth pioneers, led by eccentric frontman Nik Fiend.  formed in 1982. The current lineup of the band consists of Nik Fiend and Mrs Fiend. Five of the group's albums and 12 of their singles reached top 20 positions in the UK indie charts in the period up to 1987.
                  

                
One of the earliest groups to be labeled goth rock, Alien Sex Fiend are among the genre's most

theatrical acts. They're also one of its most humorous, preferring a campy B-movie aesthetic to the dourness or morbidity of many of their peers. Heavily influenced by the Cramps, Alice Cooper, glam rock, punk, and psychedelia, the group's performances are ghoulish spectacles, and their boundlessly creative music combines heavy electronic beats and noisy guitars with warped, dubby effects and samples.
                 

Alien Sex Fiend were formed by Nicholas Wade (Nik Fiend), Christine Wade (Mrs Fiend), David

James (Yaxi Highrizer) and Johnny Freshwater (Johnny Ha-Ha) in late 1982 at the Batcave club in London (where Nik worked). The band became known in the gothic scene for its dark, electronic industrial-leaning sound, heavy samples, loops, dub remixes and manic vocals. Nik Wade had previously been a member of the Alice Cooper-influenced bands the Earwigs and Mr & Mrs Demeanour, and later the punk band Demon Preacher (later known as the Demons).
                

The group was highly prolific throughout the '80s, releasing fan-favorite full-lengths such as Acid Bath (1984) and "It" the Album (1986), in addition to numerous remix-filled singles and EPs, showcasing the

group's penchant for experimentation. ASF incorporated several electronic dance music styles into their sound before other goth and industrial acts did; the 1989 single "Haunted House" lived up to its name, while the group embraced techno and trance on '90s releases such as Inferno (The Odyssey Continues) (1994). In the 21st century, albums such as Information Overload (2004) and Possessed (2018) have even worked in traces of dancehall and drum'n'bass.
                    

The band also became popular in Japan, and in 1985, they released a live album recorded there, Liquid

Head in Tokyo. Freshwater left later in 1985, and the band continued as a trio, supporting Alice Cooper on his "The Nightmare Returns" tour in 1986 and releasing "It" the Album that October. The band was reduced to a duo of the Wades when James left following the release of 1987's Here Cum Germs.
                

Alien Sex Fiend has been described as gothic rock, deathrock and industrial. Glenn Danzig has cited the

group's sonorous and echoing sounds as having influenced the mixing for several of the recordings for his group Samhain. Following numerous compilations and live releases, including the 1999 retrospective Fiend at the Controls, Vols. 1-2, ASF returned with 2004's Information Overload, an adventurous update of the group's sound. Para-Abnormal, a CD of remixes and rarities, followed in 2006. The group's next full-length was delayed due to deaths in the family and other personal issues, but ASF re-emerged with Death Trip in 2010.
               

In 2015, Cherry Red released Classic Albums and BBC Sessions Collection, the first of two

comprehensive box sets of the band's early material. These were followed by the generous triple-CD package Fiendology in 2017. Possessed, Alien Sex Fiend's first studio album in eight years, appeared in 2018.
                

Fink published a book in 2000, Once Upon a Fiend, recalling his experiences in the band. He later

drummed for Blackpool bands United States of Mind and Dog Food before joining Uncle Fester in 1999, who changed their name to UFX in 2006. Fink currently serves as frontman of Vince Ripper and the Rodent Show, a duo also featuring Vince "Ripper" Cornwall. They perform Alien Sex Fiend and the Cramps material, and have released two albums, It's Fun to Be a Monster and Boneyard a Go Go!!!.

ALIEN SEX FIEND - ANOTHER PLANET 1988

                   

Another Planet is a studio album by the English gothic rock band Alien Sex Fiend. It was released in

1988 by Anagram Records. Trouser Press qualified the album as "extremely entertaining". The Chicago Tribune called it "an LP of strange, well-done dance-floor fare that relies as much on biting, astringent guitar and murderous drumming as on synth-generated thumps and thweeps."

ALIEN SEX FIEND - THE SINGLES 1983 - 1995  (1995)

                 

It's a sufficient overview of music that helped to define the goth rock genre, even if their on-the-edge

outrage -- "I walk the line between good and evil" (from "I Walk the Line") being a typical proclamation -- was more bark than bite.

ALIEN SEX FIEND - POSSESSED 2018

               

Possessed is Alien Sex Fiend's first full-length since 2010's Death Trip, and only their third studio album of the 21st century. While they aren't as prolific as they were during the '80s and '90s, their

creative spirit hasn't diminished, and their ghoulish sense of humor remains fully intact. ASF don't always quite get the recognition they deserve, at least beyond the goth and industrial scenes. Perhaps their appearance and playfulness might cause them to be pegged as a novelty act by many, but spend some time delving into their back catalog and it's readily apparent that they've always been a truly forward-thinking, one-of-a-kind group. Nik Fiend still looks and sounds like a Tim Burton character come to life, and his lyrics are still comically grotesque and juvenile, but never harmful or gratuitously morbid.
