In
a unique move, the trade union movement, charities, campaigns
and the music industry have joined forces to release a
single for this years St Patrick's Day. 'Everybody's
Welcome To The Hooley' is an anti-racist anthem by
North London ceilidh rockers Neck. It's a reminder to
Irish people both here and back home that they've been
the victims of racism down the years.
If you like a bit of Irish music (and me being of Irish
decent I do) then this is for you. It has that traditional
Irish feel to it and is guaranteed to get people on their
feet for St Patrick's day. The other 2 songs on the single
'The Night (That) The Shamrock Was Drowned' has
a definite Pogues feel to it and 'The Star Of County
Hollaway/Shite 'N' Onions' is again traditionally
Irish music. Not a bad effort at all.

'Arab
On The Hill' is a 14 track album by The Pain which
is well worth checking out. I saw these guys who are from
Newtown in Wales live recently and I thought they were
a good tight unit.
I really liked this album and there is plenty on the album
to like. My favourite track off the album was 'Beer
For The Boys' which starts off as a parody of the
Dads Army theme tune and continues into a catchy singalong
chorus. The title track is also a good song and other
tracks I favoured were 'Back To You Return',
'I Fell In Love With A Suicide Bomber', 'Blessed
Are The Children' and 'Massacre'. There
is also a cover of 'Something In The Air' but
with my loathing of cover versions, enough said. With
aggressive vocals, powerful drums and excellent guitar
I think these guys will soon be creating waves that reach
a lot further than their native Wales.

'Anti-Society'
(Anarcho-punk compilation vol. 3) is a various artists
compilation release from Overground Records. There are
23 tracks on the album and most of the artists on the
album i'd not heard of, but as you all know i'm always
up for hearing new bands. If more people would take the
trouble to listen to the lesser known bands then gigs
would be better attended and the scene would be healthier.
This really is a good album and proves just how good some
of the lesser known bands are. Some of the artists on
the album are Reality Control, Icons Of Filth, The Sears,
A.O.A., Liberty, Karma Sutra, Exit-Stance, Alternative,
Reality, Thatcher On Acid, Revulsion, Untermensch, Hagar
The Womb, Stalag 17, Oi Poloi, M.U.S.E. and The Mental.
The best compilation CD i've heard for a while this and
the real punks out there will love it.
