thardymorrisThose who may have feasted on Dead Confederate’s previous two albums or even the latest Diamond Rugs album would remember Hardy Morris for his incredible vocal deliveries.

GrahamSimpson_roxymusic

A documentary highlighting the disappearance of Roxy Music’s bass player Graham Simpson is in working progress right now. The band’s co founder went missing shortly after the first album was recorded and passed away on 16th April 2012.

After receiving royalties from Roxy Music’s first album, Simpson left UK to study various cultures and religions that took him to Greece, Mexico, India and Africa and six month jail term for safe cracking in Morocco. He never returned to the band.

The mystery of his chosen path has been documented by friend and neighbour Sara Cook, who alongside BadLittleCook Films partner Miranda Little have released this short teaser below for what they are cooking up. A full length film is meant to be in the works and should be well worth the wait. Watch this and hope that this intriguing project all comes together.

The Good The Bad And The Zugly

The Good The Bad And The Zugly
Anti World Music
(Fysisk Format)

The Good The Bad And The ZuglyHailing from the Norwegian capitol of Olso, The Good The Bad And The Zugly are self-confessed scum punk revivalists. They are dirty, nasty, smelly and sound like something rotting in the crotch of GG Allin’s jockstrap. So who better to produce their debut album than Turbonegro degenerate Tommy Manboy? It’s safe to say he was the perfect choice of producer (was this actually produced? It sounds like he mainly just helped the band spit beer over the mixing desk) and has captured twelve songs of snotty, high-speed gutter punk that shares a needle full of cider with the likes of The Dwarves and Zeke and then jabs it right in your eye.

First off, you might be wondering what the fuck a zugly is? Well, it’s the bass player’s nickname and you can bet he ain’t pretty. Just like the music. And the lyrics. “Out in the park, smoking doobies with the good, the bad and the zugly groupies – call the cops, I don’t give a fuck!” You get the picture. This is distorted, cop baiting, phlegm flicking, snot sucking dirty arse punk rock n’roll.

Fucking filthy. And a lot of fun.
