The Accelerators - Moving Fast!!! Selected Recording 77/79 LP

We are honoured to present a new album for September. THE ACCELERATORS, one of the first punk bands from Liverpool, UK. This is a remastered Lp with their studio recordings with unreleased songs, and alternative versions. With new artwork by Mario Riviere and an insert with a bands interview.

THE ACCELERATORS’ story starts in Liverpool 1974 with art student Kathy Freeman, originally from London, playing blues guitar duets with her then boyfriend, Martin Yarker. 1976 found them jamming with housemate bassist Jim Webb. Recruiting singer and harmonica player Chris Martin, they formed rhythm and blues cover band, THE BIGGLES BLUES BAND. 

Initially with Graham Marsh (a.k.a Miles from Nowhere) then Tony Doyle (a.k.a Tony Monotony) on bass, the gigs started to pick up. Brian also became known sometimes as “Brian Damage” Kathy as “Kathy Apathy” and Martin as “Martin Smith”. An EP (ultimately not released) was announced in the music press in May 1978. They recorded a self-produced cassette called “Have You Been Accelerated?” in 1979 - a wild, raw sounding combination of great rock’n’roll and early frantic punk. They gigged relentlessly (over 400 shows in four years, mainly in northern England) including supports with the likes of SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, THE BUZZCOCKS, THE RICH KIDS, ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVRES IN THE DARK and XTC. Their DIY spirit led to them running regular events in the Havana night club along with friends THOSE NAUGHTY LUMPS.

In August 1979 they recorded three songs with producer Mike Walker in Liverpool’s Amazon Studios. Then another three the next month (at Open Eye Studios - production by Noddy Knowler.) One of these,“Radio Blues” was included by John Peel on the “Street to Street” Compilation (Open Eye Records) Faithful again to their punk DIY philosophy, they released all six songs as a 12” EP on their own label Spiv Records. The result is a varied album with a quite polished sound compared to their previous releases, where we find influences from THE JAM, THE CLASH and THE UNDERTONES. In 1980 Martin left and was replaced by Leigh Marles. In 1981 they called it a day, leaving a solid legacy of performances and a handful of really good songs that are compiled for the first time ever on an LP, totally remastered.

Extroverts LP

The Extroverts son una de esas joyas de power-pop-punk desconocidas para el público en general, pero no olvidadas por aquellos que fueron testigos de sus viejos tiempos entre 1979 y 1982, cuando compartieron escenario y se foguearon con bandas como DOA, Subhumans (CA) y otros fixxxtros del punk rock canadiense. Desde su ciudad de Regina, Saskatchewan, lanzaron sólo un single autoeditado en 1980, “Living In Poverty / Political Animals”, que desgraciadamente sólo tuvo repercusión en su área de acción y que ahora te piden un pastruzal cuando algún desaprensivo lo saca a la venta. En el 2009 decidieron rescatar mandanga que tenían inédita y regrabaron algunos de sus viejos temas con otras nuevas composiciones, manteniendo la formación original. Lo que encontrarás aquí son doce bombas de power-pop vitaminado que serán la deleite para los amantes de clásicos como The Nerves, Teenage Head, Pointed Sticks, The Exploding Hearts o Real Kids. Edita Beat Generation y Take The City Records en una edición ultra limitada de 300 copias, 100 de ellas a color.

The Extroverts are one of those true punk-power pop gems unknown to the mainstream public but not forgotten to those that remember their old days back in 1979 sharing the same bild with the likes of D.O.A, Subhumans (Ca) and other Canadian punk rock favourites. From the Canadian city of Saskatoon, they could only released one single at the time, but kept some of the best punk songs written in those days, and recorded them in really good sound quality. Think about the best Exploding hearts , pointed sticks, the nerves or The Real kids and you´ll get a close picture of this 12 explosive bombs of punk rock and power pop. For the first tome on vinyl, remastered audio and artwork. Limited edition of 300 copies, 100 on clear vinyl.

Chinas Comidas

Chinas Comidas "Complete Studio Recordings 77-81" LP. Take The City Records.

Formados en plena eclosión punk a finales de los setenta en Seattle, Chinas Comidas fue la extensión de otras dos bandas como Tupperwares y Red Dress. Ellos formaron parte de la escena de la ciudad en su vertiente más arty y curiosamente junto con otros lumbreras de la ciudad como El Duce (The Mentors), primer batería de la banda, o Tomata (The Tupperwares y The Screamers), decidieron mudarse a Los Angeles donde esperaban tener más repercusión. Rápidamente se hicieron un hueco en la bulliciosa ciudad compartiendo escenario con las bandas californianas más activas como Germs, Fear, Dead kennedys, Redd Kross, The Dils, The Bags, Black Flag, The Crowd, Plugz…

La banda se autoeditó dos single en su propio sello, Esquisite Corpse, consiguiendo que los fanzines saludaran al grupo de forma eufórica por ver en ellos a gente que sabía aunar sonidos nuevaoleros vía británica como Wire, o paisanos suyos como Pere Ubu o Devo, sin olvidarnos de Patti Smith, una gran influencia para su cantante Cynthia a la hora de fusionar música y poesía. 

Chinas Comidas pasarían a mejor vida en 1980 con un legado escaso pero de escucha casi obligatoria por aportar algo más que el mero rakarakaraka del punk rock. Como diría de ellos el señor Thurston Moore de Sonic Youth: “Los poetas hacen a los mejores punks, ya lo sabemos. Chinas comidas fueron realmente lo auténtico: excitantes, intrigantes, intoxicantes. Una voz intelectual en la gloriosa explosión de testoterona del punk primigenio de la costa oeste”.
