Ok, I suppose I have to declare an interest in tonight's featured artist. The band's cds have been released on my "record label" - Psychobabble RecordsSuspect Package - Joey ShallowFrom the band's current studio e.p. Destruction of the Classes. This is a storming incendiary performance from the boys. "Ho Ho Ho" Although, their influences are more the modern Californian Punks they've had the good sense to take the light hearted, fun elements from NoFX rather than the ernestness of some of their contempories, and coupled with the Manx accents there is more than a hint of the spirit of '77 about the band. (Although I'm afraid I've yet to convince them to cover SLF's Suspect Device - a song Sir Dick was born to sing).Suspect Package - ComplicatedTaken from their live debut lp. This is from the gig which got me back into going to see local bands. The energy, the seat of the pants fun, and the comittment reminded why I liked going to gigs in the first place. This is a cover of a song by the Canadian singer Avril Lavene, embarrassingly I hadn't heard the original before I heard the Package's version. Every time I hear Ms Lavene's effort now it sounds unfeasably slow.
