PETROL BASTARD ELABORATION

Can elaboate actually. If I was going around stabbing people with a needle containing HEP-C I would be put in prison. Yet these guys are allowed to do the audio equivelent?

Wheres the love y'all HERES the love y'all it's SLY AND THE FAMILY DRONE!

 There is a way of seeing the world that is not 'considered' cool right now. It's an attitude that people sneer at. Its also a lifestyle. Its called PEACE AND LOVE and being a HIPPY. 

OK THIS IS WHERE I HAVE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR 'Y'ALL

I love underground and alternative music. Ever since I first listened to 'Nevermind' by Nirvana I knew I wasn't mainstream. I knew I had to go live in a cool little place called 'the undeground scene'. You probably nod your head when I say I wasn't going to be one of these idiotic pop fans, I realised I really hate them and they are everything that is wrong in the world, fair enough right? However there seems to be a strange attitude by some people in the scene. People say hateful things, make politically incorrect jokes and think its no big deal, use offensive imagery to try and get some reaction. Let me tell you something that is not what the scene is about, these jerks have it all wrong.

Why is it uncool to want peace and love? Peace means that there is no war!! Whats not cool about that? Love means the opposite of hate for all peoples and sexuality!! That's not super fucking cool?

There is a type of music not many people will understand, you really have to do it for the love and the passion for underground sounds its called NOISE music, thats right NOISE music. And it is cool because it is underground and it's being written about right now because it is alternative and underground and that's what this blog is all about.

Now what do you get when you have an equation that... looks... a... bit... like... this=

NOISE=COOL=*

HIPPIES=UNCOOL=£

*+£=?

Well motherfuckers (smiles) I will tell you!

*+£=^&%$

^&%$= PURE TRANSGRESSION FROM THE NORM

PURE TRANSGRESSION FROM THE NORM= SLY AND THE FAMILY DRONE

In the words of Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) ' I stand on a silent platform fight the war fuck the norm' and no one does it better than 'STFD'. This isn't transgressive like Marilyn Manson is transgressive as in it could really change shit!!!!!

These guys don't pay any attention to musical norms they do there own thing. When I saw them live they start by playing quiet noises then get louder and louder. Then they get everyone involved! Basically the whole audience was playing drums, cymbals, and other things, to this crazy noise they were all making. Oh and did I mention they have TWO drummers, and even more because people get to have a shot as well! Its this spirit of inclusiveness that make them completely outstanding, it was like being transported back to Woodstock and people banging away on bongos with children adults and people of all ages sexes and ethnicity's coming together!

And special mention kudos goes to the singer/instigator who between downing whole cans of beer and spitting it in the air Stone Cold Steve Austin style was running around making sure EVERYBODY had a shot at drumming and joined in the good vibez. Also its great that in this day of supermodels and teenage girls starving themselves due to MAINSTREAM culture this guy didn't give a shit about getting his shirt off and showing the world that 'Im fat, SO WHAT! IM A HUMAN BEING!' Also they have a great name that is a cool original twist on an original hippy style bands name. Check these guys out before them become really big!!

Petrol Bastard are fucking shit.

Can't elaborate.

Acid Drop's guide to doing punk rock good!

Every self respecting punk rocker in Leeds know who these guys are, but if you need an introduction there is really no otherway than going and checking these crazy guys out when they play live! Simply hardcore as fuck punk rock!

This is just a few things that people have said about them...

“Their formula is impossible to write off as just another group of lads with an unrealistic dream. In fact, it’s their willingness to accept the reality of their situation which makes them so ready to tackle it, change it, and come out on top. They’ve got the tunes, the plan and the ambition they need”. - ARK MAGAZINE 

“It has to be said, that Acid Drop are one of, if not THE best live punk rock band in the north of England” – SHATTERED GLASS MEDIA. 

"To say they’ve got chemistry on stage is an understatement. It’s more like the entire Periodic Table thrown into a blender”. – PUSH TO FIRE. 

“These are BRILLIANTLY crafted songs which frequently transcend their folk-punk roots. There is a tremendous versatility to this band which has not been apparent (to me at least) elsewhere”. – SHEFFIELD MUSIC SCENE. 

“ACiD DROP could make productive strides and within a year or two could be running alongside the best. We are due an underdog band to win a big one and who is to say it won't be these guys. You'd be a fool to place your hard earned brass elsewhere”. – FUNGALPUNK. 

“Album of the year 2010”. – PUNK AND DISORDERLY, PHOENIX FM. 

Seeing as this is a new blog about all things underground and anti-estiablishment in the Leeds (uk) scene I thought what better way to start than have a guide on how to make excellent punk rock using these guys as the template!

The guide:

1. Be original. 

These dudes didn't get to be the figure heads for transgressive music in Leeds today by simply copying the same old formula applied to punking out. So take a leaf out of these guys book, hell take the whole book, and BE ORIGINAL.

2. Rock out!

Remember your a punk! You're job is to rock the fuck out man! See picture below for to see how its done!!!

Get what I'm trying to say now^^^^^

3. DIY (do it yourself).

These guys are probably a little bit too edgey for your typical record label and the label would most definitely try and mess with their sound so what is a punk rocker to do I hear you ask? Well a punk rocker is to 'DO HIMSELF'!  Who do you think made this awesome artwork? (see below)

 (this album got four stars in Kerrang what the fuck does that tell you)

No not some fancy artist that cost loads of money, the band, or a friend of the band, I'm not too sure to be honest but I'm sure it wasn't an artist.

4. DIFY (do it for yourselves).

People nowadays (students), are so cynical about everything that they can't see shit for what it really is. A bunch of guys playing the music they like and not giving a fuck along the way. Too much emphasis is on being good, or artistic or musical or cool. Who cares about that shit, do what you like doing and do it for yourself always.

PUNK ROCKKKK!!!!!
