 (1 Customer Review)
An ebullient debut album by one of the best bands of the '90s ska-punk revival; nearly every song here is either extremely catchy, extremely funny or both. There's also a strong feminist slant here, which isn't that surprising, given that the two lead vocalists are women; just about every guy mentioned in the lyrics is somewhere between a bore and a creep The music, however, is a joyous, upbeat, two-guitar-driven racket, and frankly it's pretty hard to resist a band whose members can write a song about the tedium of their day jobs that includes the lines "Sometimes the days seem so long / I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong."

Running chronologically backwards through the Dance Hall Crashers' archives, Old Record (1989-1992) bundles up in its entirety their self-titled debut album, along with a trio of earlier recordings, their contribution to the California Ska-Quake compilation, and a hat trick of new songs. Therefore, the compilation closes with what was the band's initial statement of intent, the exhilarating "DHC," while also found dangling at the bottom of the set is the ...

Lockjaw CD music
$9.59
It's virtually impossible to believe that DHC have been in existence for 11 years at the date of this album's release, outliving two or three times over virtually all the Two Tone heroes who were such an initial influence on the band. Sure, there's been lineup changes over the years, but not only has the group thrived, they've come back stronger with every shift. What's even more impressive than sheer longevity, is how true they've stayed to their original vision. Musical fads come and go, and many bands transmute over time (just look at No Doubt), but ...

The story of Albert…Call me Albert was formed in May 2003 as a “scratch band” from a couple of duo’s, ‘The Unrehearsed’ and ‘Snowy and Gridiron’, plus a spare drummer, Paul Worthington. The first gig was a charity gig—the “In the Pink” canal walk for breast cancer. The gig was a success and the band kept going.Initially Albert played covers, mainly blues and blues-rock. Gigs came by word of mouth mainly and Albert gigs seemed to be like London busses...none for a few weeks then 3 all at once! The initial members of Albert were:Rob Llewellyn-Feasey-Bass, 12-String, Vocals and Real ale pump!Paul Worthington-Drums and unfortunately backing vocalsMarcus Snow-Lead Guitar, backing vocalsRich Carter-Evans-Growl, rhythm guitar, harp, bassThis line up was soon augmented by a backing singer, Heidi, who gigged with Albert for a few years, with such a superb blues voice she quickly moved from only backing vocals to sharing the lead vocal duties. A further addition to the line up followed in the form of Martin Thomas playing percussion and all things bangy and shaky.To enable the band to ‘hassle’ for more gigs a CD was needed so Albert hot footed it to Dylan Fowler’s recording studio, studio felin fach, and in one day, recording live put down seven tracks, one original and six covers! The CD was used to show what Albert could do to potential venues...much to Albert’s surprise lots of people wanted to buy a copy and one of the favourite tracks was Albert’s own, ‘New Car Blues’.More gigs and more gigs followed in various places over South Wales and further afield. During the next couple of years Albert members worked on new songs, gradually introducing them in gigs and refining them at practice sessions and jams. A second demo CD was recorded with more Albert and less covers at Dylan’s studio with a second backing singer Catrin. Again gigs were ‘hassled’ on the back of the new CD and things seemed to be going well when...Unfortunately outside pressures meant that Heidi and Catrin left the band before the debut album was recorded. Albert also lost a sound man Steve around the same time...(careless of them...)A new soundman, Dave Bolton a knob twiddler and solderer, was recruited after a long and hard search. It also helped that Dave was a broadcast engineer with thirty-seven years experience! Albert’s gigs continued including opening the Blaenavon Blues Festival in 2007and playing Hulme Hall on the Wirral (the Beatles have also played the same venue...oooh!)Then in March of 2008 Albert had nine tracks ready for their debut CD. Again Dylan Fowlers’ studio was the obvious choice for a ‘live in the studio’ recording. The tracks had been gigged so much that the recording was completed in two full days, with a further day for mixing down. The resulting CD is now available through CD Baby. The CD is a ...
