On June 5, 1975, on the seedy stage of CBGB on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a band named Talking Heads took the stage for the first time. Unlike the Ramones, for whom they were opening, they weren't sporting black leather jackets or edgy haircuts. David Byrne and Chris Frantz had met at art school a few years before, and the bassist, Tina Weymouth, had only learned to play her instrument six months prior. But within a few weeks, Talking Heads would be plastered on the cover of the Village Voice, well on their way to utterly transforming the downtown New York music scene. After Jerry Harrison joined Talking Heads in 1977, the band would go on to radically alter rock music's relationship to avant-garde art and performance. In his new book, Burning Down the House, Jonathan Gould tells the story of how Talking Heads experimented their way to a singular musical style over the course of eight studio albums and one incredible concert film, Stop Making Sense, and he discusses their enduring influence despite having disbanded more than 30 years ago.Go beyond the episode:Jonathan Gould's Burning Down the House: Talking Heads and the New York Scene That Transformed RockRead about the origin of Stop Making Sense—and then watch it, of courseCheck out the new “Psycho Killer” music video starring Saoirse Ronan, made in honor of the 40th anniversary of the first Talking Heads performanceTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

The "Wanted! The Outlaws" compilation from 1976 was a huge launching pad (or relaunching pad) for Waylon and Willie. And, it did for country what The Sex Pistols or Ramones did for punk music.Sterling Drake joins us to talk about this game changing compilation and his new album “The Shape I'm In.” Plenty of other discussion including short sleeved pearl snaps, Bro Country vs. Real Country (and some anti Rascal Flatts sentiment), who are the modern country outlaws, women are outlaws too, and Tompall Glaser deserves more discussion.Check out Sterling Drake at: https://sterlingdrakemusic.com/Check out other episodes at RecordsRevisitedPodcast.com or one all your favorite podcast providers like Apple Podcasts, Castbox, iHeartMedia, and Spotify.

Green Noise Records is proud to present Prime Primitive: 1976–1977, a vital archival release from legendary New York City punk band Testors, available May 30, 2025. Capturing the essence of the band's earliest studio and live recordings, this LP offers a long-overdue look at one of the rawest and most uncompromising acts to emerge from the original NYC punk underground. Founded by Sonny Vincent in 1975, Testors took shape in the grimy backrooms and sweat-soaked stages of Max's Kansas City and CBGB—two epicenters of the East Village scene that gave rise to the Ramones, Richard Hell, the Heartbreakers, and Television. Testors stayed firmly committed to the fire and fury of pure rock'n'roll, leaving behind a trail of scorched earth and unforgettable shows—including a tour with the Dead Boys that spread their chaotic energy nationwide. Far from lacking recorded material, Testors had a wealth of songs and studio sessions, but due to their fiery temperament and their desire to burn every bridge in sight they simply rejected the compromises demanded by record companies. Their often violent, stripped-down sound helped shape the American punk blueprint that thousands of bands would follow. Testors erupted on the New York scene at the epicenter of the punk rock explosion. Absolutely one of the best raw, catastrophic, and shocking bands to ever grace the stages of Max's Kansas City and CBGB's during the mid-70's punk heyday, Their incendiary sound consisted of dueling guitar noise and Sonny Vincent's street poetry. Testors created music that stands the test of time. Painfully delicate, unabashed, unrepentant, explosive, and savagely persuasive. Their earliest recordings are considerably tougher, louder and more desperate than any other music made at that time (or since) and after you let it latch onto your soul, you're forever indebted to New York's toughest, rawest, REALest punk band for the rest of your fucking life. It's a crime against history that the Testors never got their due: a band like this could and should have changed everything. Prime Primitive captures Testors the way they were meant to be heard—on vinyl, no CDs, no digital downloads, no AI. Just the real-deal slab, in an exclusive silver foil jacket for true believers to have and to hold. Adding to the celebration, a newly unearthed video titled Testors – 1979—featuring rare 16mm footage of the band and candid backstage moments with Testors, the Dead Boys, and Johnny Thunders at Irving Plaza—will be available via the Green Noise Records YouTube channel. Directed and edited by Robert Luttrell, with words and music by Sonny Vincent, the video offers a raw visual snapshot of an era that refuses to fade. Prime Primitive is a sonic time capsule of Testors at their most volatile and vital. Side A compiles nine of their early studio recordings from 1976–77—taut, feral tracks that hiss with desperation and attitude—while Side B delivers five ferocious live cuts that find the band tearing through their set with unhinged intensity. All tracks were newly remastered for this release by Timothy Stollenwerk (Stereophonic Mastering) in close collaboration with Sonny Vincent, ensuring maximum punch, grit, and clarity. Every song was written, arranged, and produced by Vincent, whose compositions and streetwise lyrics remain as bracing now as they were nearly fifty years ago. These aren't just recordings—they're artifacts of a cultural explosion, finally given the fidelity and sequencing they always deserved.

Full disclosure here, and it’s sort of controversial. I’ve never been a Beach Boys fan. It’s just never really worked for me. As a kid, it just seemed to be a parent’s version of what rock and roll is supposed to be. The fact they had a song called “Be True To Your School” was enough evidence for me to not buy that Endless Summer collection that came out around the same time as I was discovering The Ramones and Sex Pistols. That’s not to say that I don’t have respect for the band, especially Brian Wilson, who passed away on June 11. The fact that so many of my favorite bands revered Wilson (including the Ramones) gave me some new insight. In fact, I always have said that I love the bands influenced by The Beach Boys more than the actual band. Plus, I have developed an appreciation for Pet Sunds, although I’m still not prepared to call it the greatest album ever. But I pulled it out after hearing the news of Brian’s death, and I also played the version of Smile that came out in 2011. That may be my favorite album by them, but is it […]

"Punk music has produced some of the greatest performers and some of the greatest musician nicknames. Here is a list of the best names and where they came form."
The theme for June 2025 was "Punk." Who else to talk to than Charlotte's original punk, who was there at the birth of the Punk scene in NYC in the late 70's and photographed everyone from Lou Reed to The Ramones to Andy Warhol? Tim talks with Mitchell Kearney after his talk at Creative Mornings on June 6, 2025 at Uptown Charlotte's VAPA Center.
Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Get ready for some venue whiplash; after three nights at the largest indoor venue on the tour in Chicago, Phish leaves the second city to arrive in New York. More specifically, July 22 and 23 at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, Queens; home to The Ramones, Simon and Garfunkel, and Peter Parker. If you've listened to Attendance Bias for any amount of time, you've probably heard me mention that I live in Forest Hills, so today's episode is a homecoming; I don't think I've ever lived closer to any music venue. Before these shows, I've never been able to walk to a Phish concert from my front door. And who would be the best guest in the world to give a preview of this venue and this neighborhood? None other than my wife, Michela Ratto. Michela has been on Attendance Bias once before, and while I mostly give background information and context about this venue that is new to the Phish world, she gives plenty of tips and tricks to help any listeners coming to these two shows, filling everyone in on what to expect.We cover a lot in today's episode; the history of the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, what the neighborhood is like, the best ways to get there, and of course we give our takes on the controversial headlines about the stadium that crop up ahead of every summer concert season. Ironically, this is the longest episode of this venue preview series, but there are no music clips, since Phish has not only never played the stadium before but they've never played the entire borough of Queens!So join Michela and I to get the inside scoop on the Forest Hills Stadium, our theories as to why Phish chose to play the smallest New York City venue they've played in years, and where to get the best food once you get inside on July 22 and 23rd.
Året er 1978 og vores tunge rockverden åbenbares af den himmelstormende debut fra amerikanske Van Halen med vidunderguitaristen Eddie i spidsen. 1978 byder også på det sidste Black Sabbath album med Ozzy ved mikrofonen i 35 år, mens bands som AC/DC og Judas Priest stormer frem med to x to topsolide albumudgivelser. Ronnie James Dio laver sin sidste plade med Rainbow, og Brian Robertson tager afsked med Thin Lizzy. Inden da laver han lige “verdens bedste guitarsolo”. På årets sidste dag indspiller Iron Maiden deres første demo. Det tunge rock år 1978 bliver behørigt vendt af studievært Jens “Jam” Rasmussen og vores faste og fabelagtige gæsteduo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Van Halen debuterer med et af 70'ernes absolutte hovedværker, hvor guitar virtuosen Eddie Van Halen danner skole for tusindvis af metal guitarister. - Den sidste heavy rock-energi klemmes ud Black Sabbath med Ozzy i front på “Never Say Die!” - AC/DC leverer rusten, beskidt bluesrock på “Powerage” og rødglødende rock'n'roll på “If You Want Blood”. - Judas Priest skærper deres definerende metal-lyd endnu et hak, og designer deres tidlige heavy metal-outfit med læder og nitter. Michael Stützer Hansen inspireres af både look og guitarlyd. - Den unge guitarist Hank de Wank (f. René Krølmark) udfolder sig i det københavnske punkband Brats og inspireres af både KISS/Ace Frehley, The Ramones… og Judas Priest. - Mens Hank er ved at omdirigere Brats i heavy metal-retningen, udgiver københavnske Zig Zag Band et hårdt rocket album med titlen “To Streger Over Den Fede”. - Den europæiske metal-scene anno ‘78 præges af blandt andre schweiziske Krokus, tyske Scorpions og walisiske Budgie. - I Amerika udgiver Aerosmith “Live Bootleg”, som bl.a. indeholder den funky rocker “Walk This Way”, der kommer til at inspirere New Yorks hiphop-scene i det efterfølgende årti. - Ronnie James Dio laver sit sidste album med Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, mens David Coverdale sammentrækker ordene “White” og “Snake”. - Thin Lizzy udgiver det dobbelte livealbum “Live & Dangerous”. Brian Robertson forlader bandet kort efter udgivelsen, hvorpå han laver “verdens fedeste guitarsolo”. Steffen Jungersen føler og forklarer. - Iron Maiden indspiller deres første demo på årets sidste par dage, og gør sig klar til at erobre Londons metal undergrund i det nye år. Vi byder på en lille times tråd-snak fra 1978, og ønsker god lytning! Og dernæst på genhør til seriens sidste afsnit, fra 1979, om ca. 14 dage Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen
"Back in 1973 Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in what was called The Rumble in the Jungle. This victory inspires Johnny Wakelin to write the song Black Superman. He gets a hit with it. So what other songs are written for or about athletes. We have a list."

Friday, August 16, 1974, was a hot summer day in New York City…it was 31 degrees, but the humidity made it feel a lot hotter…and if you were down in the Bowery amidst all the concrete, it was hotter still...and it smelled. But what happened that night, when a bunch of punks took the stage at a scussy dive bar called "CBGB's", would change music forever. This is the story of the original Ramones.

Alex Kane is a fiercely inventive guitarist, songwriter, and musical visionary whose career has spanned decades and continents. Best known for his work with bands like Life Sex & Death, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, Antiproduct, and Enuff Z'Nuff, Kane is one of rock's true cult heroes—a player whose style fuses punk ferocity, glam flamboyance, metal precision, and a sense of showmanship that feels equal parts Ziggy Stardust and Sid Vicious.Born in Chicago, Alex Kane grew up soaking in a wild mix of musical influences—from KISS and The Sex Pistols to Cheap Trick and Queen. He picked up the guitar early and soon developed a sound that combined attitude with technical flair. His Chicago roots also gave him a gritty, no-nonsense approach that would become a signature element of his music.Life, Sex & Death (L.S.D.)Kane first gained national attention in the early '90s as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the controversial and utterly unique band Life Sex & Death. Known for blending sleaze-rock with raw punk energy and philosophical lyrics, the band featured a homeless-savant frontman named Stanley, who became a kind of underground legend.Their debut album, The Silent Majority (1992), released on Warner Bros., drew critical acclaim and cult fascination. Songs like “Tank,” “School's for Fools,” and “Jawohl Asshole” were full of snarling riffs, sharp social commentary, and theatrical swagger. Though commercial success was elusive, the band's live shows and Kane's explosive playing style left a lasting mark on the rock underground.Post-LSD & AntiproductAfter the dissolution of L.S.D., Kane relocated to the UK and co-founded Antiproduct, a glam-punk power-pop explosion that further stretched his musical boundaries. Antiproduct quickly developed a rabid UK fan base with their high-energy shows and outrageous visual style.Their album Consume and Die… The Rest Is All Fun showcased Kane's diverse influences—from Ramones-speed punk to Beatles-style melody—wrapped in crunchy guitars and rebellious hooks. The band was hailed in the British press as a breath of fresh air, and they toured relentlessly with artists like The Wildhearts and Wednesday 13.Collaborations & Side ProjectsAlex Kane is known for his prolific collaborations. He played guitar with Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, joining the punk legend for international tours and celebrating the legacy of The Ramones with thunderous authenticity. His stage presence and aggressive playing perfectly matched the spirit of the punk classics.Kane has also worked with an array of artists across genres including Pretty Boy Floyd, Richie Ramone, and Shameless, and has guested on countless albums. A fearless player, he's comfortable shredding on heavy metal tracks, laying down sleazy glam riffs, or playing melodic hooks with pop sensibility.Enuff Z'Nuff & Recent WorkIn recent years, Kane returned to his Chicago roots and joined Enuff Z'Nuff for several tours, bringing a harder-edged guitar vibe to the band's power-pop and psychedelic-tinged catalog. His addition reinvigorated the band's sound onstage, and his chemistry with Chip Z'Nuff made him a fan-favorite during live shows.Kane also continues to produce, write, and record solo material. His sharp wit, eclectic taste, and raw energy continue to push creative boundaries. He's known for mentoring young musicians and remaining fiercely independent in an industry often driven by trends and compromise.LegacyAlex Kane's legacy is one of rebellion, craft, and fearless creativity. He's not just a guitar player—he's a musical mischief-maker and a genre-blending explorer. While he may have flown under the mainstream radar, those who know Kane's work recognize him as one of the most exciting and original rock guitarists of his generation.https://www.instagram.com/alexfuckingkane?igsh=MTV1OWhuaGt1NWNlbA==

This week we travel back in time to just after the dawn of PUNK ROCK (1978-1981)! We discuss bands influenced by the 1st wave who then took punk into various sub-genres. If you don't think Punk is for you based on secondhand information, we ask that you listen with an open mind and prepare to get out some aggression.This episode features songs with the shortest track length that we've ever played; it's PUNK ROCK people!

This week, we bring you the first installment of Jarvis' interview with Russ Tippins (guitars/vocals) and Cindy Maynard (bass/vocals) from Metal Blade recording artists Tanith. Both musicians discuss their formative years, including Cindy's travails trying to learn guitar as a lefty and Russ's experiences in England starting a band (Satan) with his schoolmates. They talk about the creative process and the tendency of "new" songs - especially those recorded after a band's first album - to evolve and morph after they are performed live many times. You will also hear how Russ and Cindy decided to form Tanith after playing cover songs and realizing how well their voices fit together. The interview covers a lot of ground, with fascinating stories and an abundance of laughter. Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

"This week back in 2007 Sammy Hagar sold an 80 percent stake in his Cabo Wabo tequila for $80 million. Since then it seems every musician or band has their own line of booze. Here is a good long list and where you can buy it."
One of the all time great bands, L7 fused laugh out loud humor with a caveman punk aggression that made them stand out like a blistered sore thumb against the L.A. hair metal landscape of the late ‘80s. But they were chicks, man — so rather than be spoken about in the same righteous breath as the Stooges or the Ramones, the members of L7 had to put up with inane questions about Vixen(?!?). No matter. As with most awesome things, L7 are still here and their influence looms larger than ever. On this episode we talk to co-founder Donita Sparks about Matthew Sweet covers, Epitaph records, the siren song of LA surf music, Slash records, Sub Pop, yacht rock, Rock For Choice, Milwaukee book makers, fights at Exit, John Waters, SMELL THE MAGIC, and we play the best round of what's the best ever!
