Dee Colvins "Friday Night / Mahoney Park" ep

A VAPIDS side project? It certainly has the three chord pop punk beat which is equal parts SCREECHING WEASEL meets RAMONES sound. And Jimmy and Scotty are in this band so it should sound like the VAPIDS. Maybe a biot more ballad than I am used to at least for the song "Mahoney Park". The songs on hear are:
1. Friday Night
2. Mahoney Park
3. Rocket Boy
4. She Won't Go Away

Tranzmitors "Look What Your Doing" ep

Ugly Pop's 19th release. Cat Call Records was just another moniker for Ugly Pop. This 19th release was of the incredibly infectious new wave renaissance group from Vancouver known as the Tranzmitors. The band features members of Emergency, New Town Animals and the Smugglers. They sound like the Undertones and XTC and the Cure, the Pointed Sticks and the Specials all at once. The A side ends with a 'Radio' roundabout that could have been ripped from Joe Jackson's song "Radio". I am baffled as to why this band isn't bigger especially given the resurgence in new wave in the recent few years. CBC should be polluting the airwaves with their infectious ditties. Instead like every good new wave and punk group from back in the day the Tranzmitors are ignored. They are a true talent and Stiff Records has recognized it as they have taken to re-issuing the full length that Deranged released in 2007. There is a great interview that Mongrel zine did with the band. In the meantime this release contains "Look What Your Doing" and "Teenage Filmstar". There is pressing information about the multiple presses of this release up at Neurotic Text, which is Simon Harvey's blog, the true force behind Ugly Pop. Lots of interesting stuff up there including the pressing information that this was pressed three times in the total of three months between March and June of 2006. Each pressing was under 500.

Tranzmitors "Bigger Houses, Broken Homes" ep

This is an incredible new band from Vancouver that pulls together the essence of the UNDERTONES, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, the BUZZCOCKS, the JAM and the CLASH in their material. Featuring Jeffie of JEFFIE AND THE GENETICS and Fergus of the legendary STRIKE and more recently of the incredible EMERGENCY, and Nick and Bryce from the SMUGGLERS. The A-Side starts off with a CLASH riff that breaks into some UNDERTONES melody had the UNDERTONES had the balls of STIFF LITTLE FINGERS. And the pop sensibility of this can’t help creeping through. It reminds me of some of the great new wave of “Look Sharp” era JOE JACKSON and “Singles Going Steady” era BUZZCOCKS. The song pokes fun at the silliness of the “Keeping up with the Jones’” phenomenon and contains one of my favourite lines of all time and I quote “If you wanna see the summer through the windows of a hummer, climb a ladder through the hole of the status quo.” There are all kinds of potshots about drinking lattes and whatnot. This song is dripping with class wannabe criticism. I fuckin’ love it. I found out that Nick wrote the song and is inspired by George Carlin and a piece where he references "Bigger Houses, Broken Homes" in a comedy routine. The B-side is probably my most favourite of the lot. The TRANZMITORS recording six songs out of this session, which will make up three separate eps. The second one is already out on Cat Call. But the B-Side, "Glamour Girls" of this record has my favourite song out of the lot. It is pure BUZZCOCKS worship. And in typical BUZZCOCKS fashion the song is sage advice about girls, which in this case is about club going teens. It is a song about the grossness of the meat market. This song was written by Jeff and is part of the first recorded material by the band. These songs were recorded at the same time as the Ugly Pop ep. (Deranged Records / www.derangedrecords.com)
