Thanks for the superb DESTRUCTORS 82 review NUZZ Prowling WOLF Blogspot :-)

THE DESTRUCTORS - 'Bu****it' (*A REVIEW*)

A blast from the past that still resonates today. The Destructors were one of the best 'Class of 82 Punk Bands' with their twin guitar attack and solid bass thud, rat,ta,tat,bang,bang machine gun drums and songs about weapons of war, serial killers and government oppression. Live they were a force to be reckoned with, but that power never really materialised onto record. 'Bu****it' goes someway towards redressing the balance; Ten raw and beefy live unmixed studio monitor recordings culled from the collection of former Destructor and later English Dogs, UK Subs, Janus Stark and The Prodigy guitarist Giz Butt

This release by Time & Matter Recordings is only available as a Digital Download, which comes with Front/Back covers and a 18 page booklet containing liner notes by Giz and a selection of unpublished Destructors photos from his archives.

Thank you to Armitage Smith for playing the opening track to our charity Flesh for Lulu Official CD on his always excellent The Paranoid Squirrel radio show last night 😍

Saving the best track til last 😜 it was great to hear Armitage’s story about once meeting Nick Marsh and hopefully he’ll play a couple more tracks from the album soon 🙏

Acweorna! I unintentionally, or maybe it was deliberate, started this week’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show that aired yesterday on Rock Radio UK and will again 9am tomorrow, with pretty much a tribute to Philip Lewis by playing some Girl, Torme and L.A. GUNS but then I stay with the interconnectedness by playing new songs by former LA Guns members Kurt Frohlich and Johnny Monaco. The rest of the show is taken up by new bands to me, apart from Two Headed, well I knew who the members were and Flesh For Lulu. I also reveal who is joining on guitar, Simon Edwards, Paul Gray Bass Online, Steve Vincent and Billy Hopeless in my musical project. I might’ve even played a snippet…..
01 Girl – Take Me Dancing – Sheer Greed – Jet Records
02 Torme – Star – Back To Babylon – Zebra Records
03 L.A. GUNS – Rip & Tear ft Bernie Tormé (Live) – Camden Underworld
04 Kurt Frohlich – I Don’t Want It – 1977 – Golden Robot Records
05 Johnny Monaco – Breaking Up – She Said She Found Her Soulmate – Self Released
06 The Hypermatics – Goin’ For The Thrill – Digital Release
07 Reynaldo Jenkins and the Teardrops – Trouble – The Short Way Up – 1389792 Records
08 Red Hot n Dizzy – Sleep On Fire – A Piece Of My Own – Caveman Tap Records
09 Sunday Mourners – Boyfriend/Girlfriend – Boyfriend/Girlfriend – BandCamp
10 Two Headed – Out Of Time – Shattered Diamonds – Chaputa Records

DESTRUCTORS
BU****IT - The 'lost' pre-production recordings (part one)
(T&M 067)
From the Gizz Butt Archive

DOWNLOAD INCLUDES FULL COLOUR FRONT AND BACK COVER ARTWORK, PLUS AN 18 PAGE PDF DOCUMENT OF GIZZ BUTT'S LINER NOTES FOR EACH SONG, INCLUDING RARE PHOTOS AND POSTERS FROM HIS OWN PERSONAL ARCHIVE.

Gizz: “This release contains 10 unreleased demo tracks, recorded at Stix studio in 1982. These kind of mixes are known by producers, engineers and recording musicians as ‘Monitor Mixes’ and are originally not meant for public consumption!
However, here we have DESTRUCTORS 82 shaping and crafting their songs prior to them being released. Totally unedited, they include lots of ideas which didn’t make it to the final stages, plus there’s the added bonus of all that hilarious banter between the songs. The most unique thing here is a completely unreleased song – ‘Extermination Machine’ - a track that the band attempted on a couple of occasions but binned.
The Destructors’ strength was when they played live and despite there being no audience, this is virtually live in the studio and it sounds so full of rawness and vitality.
That being the case, I would say the most special quality about these recordings is that they have managed to exist and have now escaped that great landfill of time and no longer need to gather dust in someone’s storage unit…”

FLESH FOR LULU NEW ALBUM FIRST REVIEW IN AND IT’S A CORKER 🙏👌🍻

Thanks to Dom Daley at the ever-excellent RPM Its a revolution website for the first review of the new Flesh For Lulu album ‘Cosmic Mind F**k’, out now on Time & Matter Records…

Here’s a couple of quotes (it’s safe to say Dom quite likes it!!!):

“…this is Flesh For Lulu in the raw bristling with energy and just basking in the quality of the songs and the chemistry of the players…”

“…this might just blow the past releases out of the water, and it must have been a ‘Cosmic Mind F**k’ listening back to this collection knowing how bloody good they are and to think they were buried unfound for years in an attic!”

FLESH FOR LULU - OUT NOW!

Time & Matter Records are absolutely thrilled to finally release the new, stunning lost album from indie / goth / rock band FLESH FOR LULU…

All profits from the sale of this CD, released with the full blessing of Nick Marsh's family, will be donated to a cancer charity in memory of Nick, who sadly passed away in 2015.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PAY MORE THAN THE PRICE ASKED!

All the tracks have been carefully, and lovingly restored from the old, original tapes which both Rocco and Del sourced from their own personal archives during ‘lockdowns’. T&M then subsequently had them all baked and restored at FX Copyroom, London by long time Flesh associate Harvey Birrell.

The artwork for the cover is an art painting of a Nick Marsh photo taken by the famous rock photographer Ian Dickson, with the artwork painting being done by Billy Morrison, himself a long time Flesh fan, renowned painter/artist as well as being Billy Idol's guitarist. The aforementioned doodle artwork tape box cover provides the album's back cover artwork.

The accompanying 24 page colour CD booklet boasts a Flesh for Lulu timeline, photos, plus 14 lovely written tributes to Nick's life and talents from both family members, band mates and musicians he influenced, these being Pat Marsh, Katharine Blake, Billy Morrison, Gareth Williams, Peter Webber, James Mitchell, Rocco Barker, Kev Mills, Del Greening, Hans Persson, ‘Bish’ Bishop, Keith McAndrew, Will Crewdson and Paul-Ronney Angel.

CD available or buy the digital download which both include unlimited streaming of the album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Thanks again to Armitage Smith for mentioning the new Alvin Gibbs book on his show as well as spinning an old T&M Alvin Gibbs & the Disobedient Servants 7” 😘👌

Acweorna! For those who listened in live on Rock Radio UK or have streamed/downloaded Friday’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show will know I had to hand over the reins to Barton and Fenny for the last part of the show as I was so knacked that I could not concentrate on what I was saying let alone doing. Hence the show ended not how we had planned it. Therefore, Sunday’s show really is now a non-repeat as I’ve re-recorded the last 10-12 minutes giving C**k Sparrer, The Members and Deathtraps the recognition that they deserve. Finishing things of instead of Day 21 and Faith No More will be Role Models. Re-enjoy at 9am tomorrow Morning on Rock Radio UK where you will hear, again, or not, New Bomb Turks, The Hip Priests, Alvin Gibbs & the Disobedient Servants, Chris Catalyst, The Methadones, Baron Von Steele, CB Kiddo, Cola Cubes, The Damned, KISSA, C**k Sparrer UK, The Members, Deathtraps and Role Models.
