Well, here we are with the first week of 2014 out, and
here’s my pick of the vinyl for 2013. Top 10? Nah. There wasn’t just only 5 either.
Reviews are in the archives. All have had a steady reign on
the turntable over the last year.
In no particular order;
MARCHING ORDERS –
LIVING PROOF Best Oi! release for 2013, from Australia, and coloured
vinyl too.
MOTORHEAD –
AFTERSHOCK Lemmy and the boys produce another ripsnorter. In terms of
vinyl, doesn’t get much better than this. Apologies to Motorhead, in the review
I kept referencing the album as “Aftermath”...........Oops.
THE CORPS – KNOW
THE CODE May technically have been even from 2012, but whatever, I got
it in 2013, and it kicks arse.
NICK CAVE AND THE
BAD SEEDS – PUSH THE SKY AWAY His best in a while, and now one of my
favourite Nick Cave releases.
THE PISSED JEANS –
HONEYS Misanthropic? Nihilistic?
Dunno, but this sludge punk always puts a smile on my face.
HOSTILE OBJECTS –
YOUNG GOD 7” Great little slab of hardcore from these sonic thrashers.
2014 Promises more great vinyl. Nick Cave and The Bad
Seeds already have a follow up to Push
The Sky away (released last year), a double live vinyl set that I’m yet to get.
Looks like there will be more “Limited runs” that I’ve heard of some bands
doing, small pressing of 250, to please the vinyl junkies. Dunno how
financially viable this prospect is, but I’m happy for it to keep happening.
Sydney Hardcore stalwarts Toe To Toe have released a limited run of 250 of
their 2011 release “Arturo Gatti”, and have pre orders for their “Still
Fighting” 7”, which is available now on download. Toe To Toe frontman Scott Mac
has a new label “Old School Cartel
which is releasing these, and has other
vinyl in the pipeline.
