Bitch Band No 1 - Drop the Bomb (Germany, 1981)
"Drop the Bomb" is from "Zirrppppp!," Bitch Band No. 1's sole LP, released on GeeBeeDee Records in 1981. A live version also appears on "Venus Weltklang," a record documenting The First International Women's Rock Festival held in Berlin in June, 1981. Founded in Hamburg in 1979 by German filmmaker & drummer Charlotte "Lottie" Marsau (aka Leroi / Leroy Pink) and British expat Poppy Rice (keyboards), this international lesbian feminist band was rounded out by ex-Lysistrara guitarist Barbara Bauermeister , American singer Betsie Miller, and bassist Claude Lavigne. Lavigne was apparently Bitch Band No. 1's connection to the legendary lesbian commune Egelantiersstraat 113 in Amsterdam. After B...

Claudia Robot - Alarmsignal (Austria, 1982)
Просмотров 33319 часов назад
Claudia Robot released her "Alarmsignal" LP in 1982 while still based in Vienna. The title song is one masterpiece on an LP containing several. "Alarmsignal" also turned up as a B-side of the "Scherbenlilli" single. Since 1945, enough songs have linked erotic love with atomic reaction that it constitutes a sub-genre of nuclear-influenced music. But Claudia Robot is unique in her usage of an ala...
Jimi Gear - Hometown Girls (Allentown, 19XX)
Просмотров 13519 часов назад
23-year-old solo rocker Jimi Gear contributed the standout track to Z-95's "8Tracs" LP which came out in the late 70s or early 80s. Putting two songs apiece on a compilation sponsored by Allentown, PA's Z-95 radio was an honor shared by four different artists including Gear, hence the clever title and art. Metallic Rainforest has featured a few other Z-95 compilation tracks in the past. The sle...
Lifeline - You Coulda Loved Me (Washington, D.C., 1985)
Просмотров 28014 дней назад
Lifeline was a pro-labor, anti-nuclear feminist rock band from Washington, D.C. that played at political demonstrations, women's music festivals, conferences, and labor events as well as on the traditional club circuit. Founded by Mary Trevor (guitar/vocals), Kris Koth (bass), and Jeanne Mackey (guitar/vocals) in 1982, the band added Rochelle "Shelly" Locanto at some point after this 1985 12" E...
Swingshift - Time Bomb (CA, 1981)
Просмотров 16014 дней назад
Swingshift was a Bay Area women's jazz ensemble who performed regularly and released a couple cassettes during the 1980s. Members included Bonnie Lockhart on piano, Susan Colson on bass, Naomi Shapiro on sax & flute, Frieda Feen on vocals, and Joan Lefkowitz / Danielle Dowers on drums (first Joan, then Danielle). In a collectively written 1985 article for "Hot Wire: the Journal of Women's Music...
Jeanne Mackey and Penny Rosenwasser - Ballad of Karen Silkwood (US, 1979)
Просмотров 10414 дней назад
"Meltdown Madness" is one of several American, multi-artist anti-nuclear albums compiled during the peak of the anti-reactor movement in the late 1970s & early 1980s. Information about The Survival Alliance, the group behind "Meltdown Madness" has proven somewhat elusive. On the back of the jacket they described themselves as "a non-profit all volunteer group advocating safe, clean energy resou...
The Stevens - Down in the Ground (US, 1983)

Saratoga, CA band The Stevens sing about the fallout shelter craze that became trendy with affluent American suburbanites in the 1980s. This record came out in 1983 on their private press label, Apples and Uncles Records. "Build a cement hull for your Cruise To generations ahead The world's been hoed, the seeds are sewn And you've built a future for your family and pets You're down in the groun...
Just The Facts - MX Missiles (ME, 1985)
Просмотров 16721 день назад
Bangor, Maine band Just The Facts released their "3 Song E.P." in 1985. They have at least on other 45 from the year before, also released on Big Bucks Records. All three tracks on this E.P. address the nuclear arms race, but this is my favorite of the bunch. I'll put a link to a cover of the Barry McGuire songs "Eve of Destruction" in the comments. "Messing around with plutonium, boys So mess ...
Distraction Boys - Home on the (Missile) Range (NY, 1985)
Просмотров 22121 день назад
"Live on Avenue B" was released in 1985 with both black & red cover variants. The trio of Distraction Boys, Daniel Plutzer, Mike Linn, and Sweat Talley, played in numerous other bands including a handful who made records for Cryptovision Records, the NYC indie responsible for this E.P.. As suggested by the title, songs were recorded live on Avenue B at a place called The Community Garden. "Home...
Last Days of Man on Earth - 60 second vinyl radio spot #1 (1974)
Просмотров 30728 дней назад
LAST DAYS OF MAN ON EARTH (1974) is the title of the American cut of the UK science fiction film THE FINAL PROGRAMME (1973), directed by Robert Fuest and based upon the novel by Hawkwind associate Michael Moorcock. Originally, Moorcock wanted his hairy spacerocker pals to provide the music for the film, but Fuest opted for something more banal. Nevertheless, a genuine freak out. The US cut, rel...
Plastic Money - Atomic City (CT, 1984)
Просмотров 36128 дней назад
First stop on Plastic Money's 1984 debut LP, "The Irony of Solution," is a post-apocalyptic adventure in "Atomic City." Much like Sheik Vaselino's "In The Streets," (posted a few weeks back), the lyrics could have been inspired by pulp science fiction of one type or another. Ex- B-film actor Ronnie Raygun's ascendance to the presidency further blurred the lines between consumer pop culture & Mu...
Exosphere - Nuclear Age (Seattle, 1983)
Просмотров 167Месяц назад
Seattle band Exosphere's 1983 private press LP "Nuclear Age" smoothly cycles through a few different musical styles, including calypso and funk. Here, horns add punch to a melancholy singer-songwriter composition about the need for citizens of the world to rise up to demand an end to the ruling classes' jealously guarded monopoly on existentially annihilatory violence. Although the majority of ...
Rip Tide - Neutron Crouton (San Diego, 1982)
Просмотров 75Месяц назад
Like a group of 60s B-film bikers, Rip Tide prowl a beach somewhere near San Diego looking for booze & kicks. Beyond that, your guess is good as mine as to what these two photos of post- and pre-beach party bacchanalia communicate. (Especially confusing in as they appear in that exact order, with the "before" picture on the insert.) I don't know a thing about this band except that the lyrics pr...
Walking Wreck - Fallout Beach (CA, 2005)
Просмотров 106Месяц назад
Orange County hardcore / punk band Walking Wreck named their 2005 7" E.P. "Morphed Out" after a humorous, mean-spirited song berating narcotic-dependent, once-and-future Hollywood vampire Bela Lugosi. Here, they share their enthusiasm for a dangerous surfing feat called "shooting the pier." The playing on "Fallout Beach" is superb; each component instrument is perfectly locked into its own logi...
