THE CRITICS #1
Starting off today with some reggae from 1970. A double A-side single which
featured Sexy Frankie’s song Tea, Patty, Sex And Ganga on the flip side. Class.
Critics
And The Nyah Shuffle - Behold
THE CRITICS #2
Austrian songwriter Bob Wesling, aka Norbert Daum, aka
Apolleon, aka TT Thumb, was also the man behind these Critics from 1980 (or 1978
if you believe the tube of you) using a disco soundtrack to celebrate the death
of disco. Irony was alive in Austria in the 70s, even if disco wasn’t.
THE CRITICS #3
Newcastle based rock band… Newcastle, New South Wales, that
is. Originally active in the early 80s, but the album they recorded in 1982 was
never released… not until 2019, when it finally saw the light of day via the
camp of bands.
The
Critics - Flight From Maryville
THE CRITICS #4
Punky 5-piece band from Rochdale in 1981.
THE CRITICS #5
Chicago power-pop band from the mid-90s who also appeared as
the house band on a TV talk show hosted by Danny Bonaduce of The Partridge
Family.
THE CRITICS #6
Back to Australia for some Perth punks from the early
noughties…
The
Critics – Pull Your Head In
THE CRITICS #7
Some kind of Christian Rock gubbins from 2004.
The
Critics – Soul Still Remembers
THE CRITICS #8
Jazzy German Critics – who appear to sing in Spanish - from
2014.
The
Critics - Todo el Mundo ama a Peggy
CRITICS #9
“Dirt pop” – whatever that is/was – from That London in
2015. Careful – they have a gun.
THE CRITICS #10
And finally today, some LA-based Critics (everyone's definitely a critic in LA!) who have been kicking around since the
beginning of the 20s – already, that’s more than half a decade ago. This is
their most recent offering…
