This is as good an anthology and introduction to the post-punk mod revival as any CD ever issued, and is surely the jewel of Castle Records' various tie-in releases with the British television series Sounds of Underground London. A phenomenon spawned as a reaction to the excesses of punk rock, and made downright ubiquitous by the timely release of the movie Quadrophenia, the movement centered around a brace of existing music acts, including the Jam, Secret Affair, and the Merton Parkas, who were soon joined by power pop bands turned post-mod posers such as the Lambrettas. Those acts are all represented here, in sharp remasterings of some of their best songs, including "Going Underground" by the Jam, "Poison Ivy" by the Lambrettas (which has an almost reggae feel at times), and "Time for Action" by Secret Affair. Many of these acts, such as Squire, owe a huge amount to the original mod acts of the 1960s -- their "Walking Down the Kings Road" is a near copy of the Small Faces' "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" (which itself was ripped off from Solomon Burke's "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love"), with a Who-ish guitar break grafted on. Some of the best tracks here, such as the JetSet's "Wednesday Girl" and the Lambrettas' "Da-a-a-ance," recall their '60s antecedents even more firmly, the former recalling the Who at their most sophisticated pop moments, and the Teenbeats do a direct cover of the Troggs' standard "I Can't Control Myself." What makes this disc such a killer collection, however, isn't that content -- though it helps -- but a brace of live tracks by bands like the Purple Hearts, the Mods, et al., cut at the Bridgehouse in the early days of the boom. Those cuts are killer, down to their last note, and even got this veteran reviewer's pulse pounding. ~ Bruce Eder

Music from UK TV series covering eight generations of British youth cults. 18 tracks featuring The Jam, Secret Affair, The Lambrettas, Purple Hearts, & more. Castle. 2003.

After a break of about a dozen years, the Bags -- who, in their original incarnation, lasted from about the mid-'80s to the early '90s -- reunited to begin performing and recording again. The 2005 Sharpen Your Sticks album finds them still toeing the line between hard rock and punk-influenced hard rock. If you liked 'em the first time around, you'll probably still like 'em; the sound and songs are very much consistent with the approach they first established in the prior millennium. As to what the point of these sharpened sticks might be, it's kind of elusive. Much of the lyrics are over the top enough in their reckless gore that it seems as if they might be aiming for satire, but it's not that funny. If they're really just another straight-up lunkheaded hard rock band, there are others who do that much better (or, at least, have managed to make a lot more money at it). It's an ugly, crunching affair, whether deliberately so or not, with lyrics about the likes of cutting tongues out, fast food spiced with zombies, Ivan the Terrible, rallying cavemen to rejoice, and deprecating putdowns of both other losers and themselves. The riffs aren't catchy ...

Sing HighThe song "High Sierra" is dedicated to my old friend Jeff Miller. I made the photograph on the front cover of this CD in 1972. It's a photo of Jeff bravely peering over a high cliff near Upper Yosemite Falls. Between 1970 and 1973 we took several backpacking trips in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At the time I was reading the book, The Mountains of California, written by John Muir. There was a line in the book where he says something like, “Come and climb the mountains to get their good tidings!” Whenever Jeff and I came upon a spectacular view of a mountain, lake, chasm or cliff, we would say, “Good tidings! Good tidings!” John Muir often referred to the Sierra Nevada as the "Range of Light." This is because he saw the snowy mountain-chain, " bathing in its glorious floods of light." Jeff and I saw this sight too and when I sing the line, "Sierra Nevada is the Range of Light," I remember how heart warming it was to share these moments ...
