Rodeo Boys - Junior - VINYL LP

From Vetlanda/Malmo in Sweden, Honeyboy Slim & the Bad Habits delivers their own rock & roll that is spawned out of the classic rhythm & blues of the fifties and early sixties and lifts off from there. The band was formed in 2010 and has previously released one full-length album, several singles and an EP. Though above all they have acquired a great routine through countless gigs around the world, from Lofoten in the north to Spain in the south, from small towns around Sweden to Las Vegas in the USA. With the new self-titled album they return to the energizing rhythm & blues that's the common denominator that brought the band together in the first place, and which have become the band's trademark through the years. The album contains nine original songs as well as a cover of InchFor You BlueInch, originally written by George Harrison. The album largely plays it straight. Innovative it is not; fervent, toe-tapping and alive it is. Let the good times roll!

Vinyl LP pressing. Arguably one of the best punk albums of the 70s, The Boys self-titled debut (produced by Dangerfield & Steel) is a cult UK classic. The album is filled with the pop punk gems, the kind of immediate salvos that would elevate Buzzcocks into the charts. In the intervening years, the history of punk rock has been written and re-written and a whole heap of bands have been sidelined. The Boys' debut album, re-mastered here still sounds as fresh and immediate as it did back then and it also includes two classic punk rock singles in 'I Don't Care' and 'First Time' (the latter, along with The Undertones InchTeenage KicksInch, the ultimate punk anthem of teenage romance and adolescent angst). Along with the S*x Pistols, Clash and the Damned, The Boys were part of the first wave of the mid-1970's UK punk explosion. Armed with an arsenal of killer Steel/Dangerfield songs The Boys became the first UK punk band to sign an album deal in January 1977 and subsequently released two albums, their self-titled debut and the follow-up InchAlternative ChartbustersInch in quick succession. Highly regarded by the music press and their contemporaries, yet somehow criminally ignored by a wider punk audience, unable to grasp their heritage of vintage rock 'n' roll that went back to Chuck Berry courtesy of The Beatles. Their well-crafted songs, together with Steel and Dangerfield's layered harmonies, even led to them being described as 'The Beatles of Punk'.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 , the sixth album from Canadian duo Junior Boys. Waiting Game finds producers Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus in a tender and contemplative mood; a switch-up from their punchy, R&B-infused dance melodics.
