My most regular contributors Destructors 666 are back yet again with another CD. 'Biberati Ut Gothi' is their most recent offering and it's another split CD, this time split with Norwich's Fletch Cadillac. I have always liked split CDs as it shows collaboration between the bands and Destuctors 666 have released several I have reviewed. I was impressed by the first three tracks which are by Fletch Cadillac, a band who are completely new to me. Touted as horror punk the songs are raw with the occasional switch to psychobilly.
With the three tracks from Destructors it's back to their usual style after the style change on their last split CD. 'Forces Of Law' a new take on an old Destuctors number is good but the two new songs 'White Light/White Heat' and 'Axles Of Evil' are excellent. A well produced CD with the usual good artwork.

I have seen Jon Crocker twice live recently, one of these being the SAS 3 dayer last month and enjoyed both shows he played. Jon who hails from California has released '7 Days, 6 Nights' a thought provoking album which bears in parts similarities to some of Bob Dylan's early work. Being a songwriter myself I have always liked songs with good lyrical content and that can certainly be said about this seven track CD. Musically this isn't just your average folk CD, there are classical influences too. There is one song for each day of the week and the songs themselves deal passionately with a whole range of emotions from the fear of failiure to celebration. This guy is also a fine musician and you can see he puts his heart and soul into his music. It's well produced and a credit to the folk genre.

Well this album has been a while coming but was it worth the wait? The answer is definitely yes. There are a few new versions of old favourites 'Three Piece Suit', 'Surf' and 'F.U.V.M' but the eleven new tracks are rock solid, packed with the aggression and power that makes Billyclub one of the best live acts on the circuit. It's very hard to put across on CD just how good they are live but they have gone as near as it's possible to achieve this. 'No Justice' is pure quality through and through and for me there aren't any negatives because it's all good stuff. My personal favourite is 'One Way' which will have crowds joining in at gigs everywhere but the title track, 'Changing Times' and 'Fuckin' Hate You' push it close. One of the best CDs i've heard this year.

'Skateboarding Down Merlins Hill Wth Penny Harry' is the new split CD with six tracks by Picture Frame Seduction (PFS) and seven tracks by True Sounds Of The Revolution. Of the six tracks by PFS just the one was new to me 'Rebellion', the other five can be found on their 'Sex War' album which I enjoyed. When later versions of songs are released you would always expect them to be better or for me there isn't any point in releasing them. Saddly the songs are far better produced on 'Sex War' which is strange considering both albums are on Cultjam Records. The poor production (mainly lacking volume) also affected the quality of the songs by True Sounds Of The Revolution which lacked power even at full volume. That was a shame because a few of their songs with good production especially 'Where's My Revolution' have potential.
