  • WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?

Mystery_Ship Yet you never hear anybody about A/V Murder or Gallery Night. Different sounds I'm sure, but still. There seems to be little loyalty in punk sometimes.

Is Cheap Time still around? I think they were amazing too. What makes you dislike the second album, Rich? Am I the only one who is a Rat Traps fanboy? So vile! Is any of the Jeffrey Novak solo stuff any good?

If you still have the Rat Traps split with Lamps available second hand, Rich, I'd love to take it off your hands. I've been meaning to ask that forever. Now the whole world knows.

        I love the Gallery Night singles. wish i could see them live. guess I did not remember A/V Murder were a jimmy Hollywood band. might have to look into them.

        Rat Traps were amazing the 2 times i saw them. Have all the singles and love them. wish they would have put out an Lp. Novak one man band is very King Louie /Reatard inspired. Not really into the "solo" recordings.

          I loved Rat Traps. Never got into any of the solo or Cheap Time stuff. Maybe a single or two. Somewhere I've got a Rat Traps tee which was just the words Rat Traps stenciled on another shirt that was inside out.

          Listened to the s/t and most recent Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones album earlier. Other than the song that references the Packers several times I still love it. Their second album was in 2007, 3rd was 2015, 4th was 2022. By that math we are due in 2028.

            Actually, you know, the other thing about that Rat Traps tee is it was stenciled on an inside out thrift tee for I don't know a town league sports team because it was a tee with a polyvinyl number on shirt pressed on the back so, inside out, when you were to were the Rat Traps side, the polyvinyl number would press against your back which was extremely uncomfortable. I always doubted they did that on purpose, but it was like crown of thorns punk either way.

            Lammie It's been a long time since I listened to it, and it wasn't that I disliked it I just didn't feel it had the same consistency as their other albums. I loved the Rat Traps and Jeffrey Novak's One Man Band. I booked his OMB a tour down to Florida when he was still a teenager and booked quite a bit of the first Rat Traps tour. I'll have to see if I still have that extra RAT TRAPS/ LAMPS 7"

              The Touch The Feel I liked the newest HBJO album too. Knowing those guys they have about 30 songs they have written, but will wait to write 10 new one before recording another album.

                I actually got to see the Tyrades live in the early 2000s (2003 or 2004), and they were just as amazing as people say. High-energy, raw, and totally unforgettable.

                    Randall Reading your post made me want to listen to Cheap Time’s albums again. I totally agree with you: their second album never really convinced me either—in fact, it’s the only one I don’t have on vinyl.

                    I still remember when they came to play in my area—I was so excited that I even designed the flyer for the show! Unfortunately, I lost it over time, and I really regret it. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll manage to find it again…

                      Lammie vile! Is any of the Jeffrey Novak solo stuff any good?

                      I really love After The Ball. It’s the first solo album he did and I think it’s his best

                          ratcharge ah man i love that Ron House solo release! i bootlegged parts of it in a ron house mixtape a while back.. did i see somewhere it was getting reissued on vinyl? or was that one of my weird dreams in which Ron House appears for fuck knows what reason?

                              BARELY HUMAN out now on SILTBREEZE. Can’t wait for my copies to show

                                Dennis Pash was crashing on my friend's couch in L.A. in the late '80s. I only remember going to her apartment once and he was extremely shy and basically scurried out of the place soon after we arrived. I'm pretty sure I saw them with Redd Kross around that time but really only recently heard this gem by them.

                                Speaking of, just getting around to listening to the new album!

                                  Randall I really love After The Ball. It’s the first solo album he did and I think it’s his best

                                  I'll give it a hear. Thanks for the tip.
