Jello Biafra And The Guantanamo School Of Medicine

In the twenty or so years since his brainchild Dead Kennedys officially disbanded, Jello Biafra has made a career of spoken word gigs interspersed with musical collaborations with some of the most compelling figures in underground music. Recording projects and touring with the likes of Melvins, No Means No, DOA, Mojo Nixon and Lard (with Ministry’s Al Jorgensen) among others have kept his “hardcore as political weapon” message sharp, but the lack of his own band made these collaborations usually short-lived and left Biafra with a ton of songs that had never seen the light of day.

Inspired by Iggy Pop’s 60th birthday gig at the Warfield in San Francisco, Biafra laid plans for his own 50th birthday party and finally decided it was time to start a band of his own. Ten years before he had been attempting the same thing with the likes of guitarist Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident, Hellworms) and drummer Jon Weiss (Sharkbait, Horsey). They had also previously worked with basist Billy Gould (Faith No More) who was tapped for the new group. After cramming rehearsal for a month the four piece band known as Jello Biafra and the Axis Of Merry Evildoers took the stage in a sold-out two night stand at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall and subsequently spent the next 9 months in rehearsal for an album project. Before entering the studio guitarist Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Carneyball Johnson, Mol Triffid, Griddle) was recruited and the resulting twin guitar attack took the groups sound to new, noisier heights. The quintet now known as Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School of Medicine released their debut  LP/CD “The Audacity Of Hype” in October 2009, produced by Biafra and engineered by Hip Hop legend and long time Jello co-conspirator Matt Kelley (Hieroglyphics, Tupac, Digital Underground, Victims Family) at Prairie Sun Recording in Cotati, CA and San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios.

The band’s sound retains some of the the spy-music-on-meth chaos of the DK’s while adding a healthy dose of Detroit style proto-punk mixed with layers of sonic guitar noise, and Weiss’ industrial excursions into metal percussion. Topically, the album explores how our forced Iraqnophobia and Homeland Insecurity continues to feed lawlessness at the top (“The Terror Of Tiny Town”) vs. a runaway police state and class war towards the bottom (“Three Strikes”, “Electronic Plantation”). “Clean As A Thistle” becomes more timely every day as “Family Values” blowhards get caught in sinful trysts, while album closer “I Won’t Give Up” offers an age of Obama anthem on how change comes from agitation from below, not glamour and sound bites from the top

Thirty years on, Jello Biafra has made an album that solidifies and expands his uncompromising vision and updates it for the new century, with a powerhouse band that promises to be a terrifying live machine, featuring Jon’s brother Andrew Weiss (Rollins Band, Ween, Butthole Surfers) filling the live bass position recently left vacant by Billy Gould’s return to Faith No More.

Don’t miss you chance to see Jello Biafra And The Guantanamo School Of Medicine at one of their three very special Canadian appearances !

Yotam – Vocals/Bass • Guy – Guitar/Vocals • Ishay – Guitar/Vocals • Jonathan – Drums

 History: During their first years, Useless ID was mainly active in the Israeli hardcore scene. After releasing two albums on their own label, Falafel Records (named after their favorite food), the band decided to tour the United States. While on tour, they caught the ear of Kris Roe (frontman of the Ataris). The Ataris and Useless ID ended up recording a split album together on Kung Fu Records. The band were then signed by Kung Fu, who put out their next 3 albums. In addition to those albums, Useless ID have been featured on the compilations “Short Songs for Short People” and the “Rock Against Bush” comps that Fat Wreck Chords released. They’ve also been featured in the documentary “Jericho’s Echo,” which showcased punk and hard­core acts from Israel. The band’s latest album :“THE LOST BROKEN BONES”(ON SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS) finds them returning to the States to record with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

Hometown: Haifa, Israel. “It’s hard to go out on tour as airline tickets are not cheap. It’s hard to record in a good studio because there aren’t a lot of good studios. It’s hard to put out a record because there are no independent labels and especially no independent punk labels. It’s hard to play local shows because the country is so small. You pretty much have to do everything yourselves. The good side of all this, if there is any, is that our band took all these difficulties and decided that we were going to fight for it, no matter what, and not give up just because we’re from Israel and it’s a hard place to start a punk band.” They’ve now managed to move beyond the scope of just Israel, becoming an internationally recognized band that has toured all across the globe.

The Un-avoidable Politics Question: “We never ask any special credit for being a band based in the Middle East. We also never wanted to make a super strong political statement or try to get glued together with the hard time our country is getting/giving for its tricky political/religious status. We never cared about any of this at all. Whatever criticism we get for the state of politics in Israel and the Middle East, we do our best to explain the real facts that you don’t see on CNN, or in the worst case, just ignore it. We started this band in order to escape mainstream life in Israel, and there is a good reason for us to stay the way we are… our band is our escape from these difficult issues that every Israeli guy wakes up to.”

One of the most common things we hear on a daily basis is how “times are tough” for bands these days. Getting shows, finding someone to put out your records, and touring are all major hurdles that every band complains about at some point. Well, how about trying to do it in ISRAEL? When Useless ID got together over a decade ago, there was no “scene” to rely on for support, no clubs to set up shows, and there sure as hell weren’t any local record labels looking to put out punk bands. But they persevered, and today they can look back on an incredible track record – six albums, countless tours to the farthest reaches of the globe, and a slew of releases on punk stalwarts like FAT WRECK CHORDS, KUNG-FU RECORDS, and now SUBURBAN HOME in the US ,RUDE RECORDS in Europe ,BULLION/ULF in Japan, supported by Ear-say and OLEH!  in Israel And they’re definitely not done yet. “The Lost Broken Bones” is without a doubt their best record yet, twelve explosive tracks of infectious power-pop that hearken back to the glory days of pop-punk. Long before the genre was bastardized by stupid haircuts and designer jeans, there were countless bands funneling their aggression into catchy melodies, and Useless ID continue to carry that torch with pride.

Day Jobs: Yotam used to be a mailman, but now he produces records for local bands. Ishay and Guy used to dabble in the age-old punk rock tradition of tossing pizza dough, but these days Ishay works in a record store and Guy runs a backline rental business that rents gear to international touring bands. Nobody knows what Jonathan does, but he has a drink named after him called a “Harpak”. It’s four shots of vodka in a glass. Matt from No Use For a Name is the only person to have ever consumed two Harpak’s and lived to tell about it.

Oleh!  Extra:

These boys have an incredible track record – six albums and countless tours to the farthest reaches of the globe.

In the beginning of 2008, Useless entered the studio with Bill Stevenson, (drummer for the Descendents), and Jason Livermore, with the intention of creating the six and best Useless ID album they could possibly produce. The result, their new album The Lost Broken Bones. The album showcases many new sides of their long time musical experience through twelve explosive tracks of infectious power-pop that hearken back to the glory days of pop-punk.

With their fan base breaking through the walls of Israel, Useless ID continue to climb in popularity through constant appearances. They’ve managed to move beyond the scope of just Israel, becoming an internationally recognized band that has toured all across the world.

Tour(s): Have played shows in places many bands have never heard of. China, Russia, Palma de Mallorca, Australia, every single state in the US,Canada, Japan, Belorussia and Siberia.

Fun Fact: On their first tour of Germany, they didn’t wear a single piece of clothing on stage for the entire tour. Allegedly, they have since been forgiven by the German people.

A Wilhelm Scream

How does one gauge the success of a band pushing the envelope of a genre that receives little to no credit by the mainstream media?

 In the case of A Wilhelm Scream, the answer is “Who cares?” – As a band playing punk rock for over a decade, original members Trevor Reilly, Nuno Pereira and Nick Angelini haven’t focused on success, image or whatever bandwagon a group can jump on to get their music into the ears of listeners: It’s the ideal of music from an honest place, playing to the kids who want to hear more than a simple love song, or want an opinion rammed down their throats.

Within this ongoing endeavor, A Wilhelm Scream has recruited the talents of Brian Robinson (bass) and Mike Supina (guitar); Two Great-Lakers who have strived to help develop the band into the most musically-diverse lineup they’ve had to date, touring all over the World in over 20 countries from Russia to Tasmania in support of their 2007 release “Career Suicide” (NitroRecords).

After spending a few months at home developing a follow-up self-titled EP, A Wilhelm Scream is back on the road to deliver punk rock that promises to cater to the kids who are fed up with “everything else”.

LESS THAN JAKE

Performing in Montreal and Toronto

It’s been a wild and crazy ride for Gainesville’s Less Than Jake, who first met at the University Of Florida over a decade and a half ago. But instead of kicking their feet up and resting on their laurels, the ever-busy quintet have been working hard on the next chapter of Less Than Jake. Successfully extricating themselves from their major label contract (even though they still owed one more record to the label), they started their own label, Sleep It Off Records, and now are in the driver’s seat. “After a decade and a half of being in the band, we are now our own bosses for real and the excitement of that can peel paint off the walls,” says drummer Vinnie.

“People have a preconceived notion that Less Than Jake is a ska/punk band, that we’re wacky and silly, and that may be a certain side of ourselves live, but there’s also another side and that’s a beautiful thing about our band – it’s multi-headed,” he says proudly. “We can be different things at different times; we can be socially relevant and we can still be musically relevant 16 years after being together, still progressing musically, not only as players, but as far as musical direction. We can jump outside the box of what people expect, and now that we’re in control, what you’ll be getting is Less Than Jake -unfiltered and over-amplified.”

Don’t miss Less Than Jake at their two exclusive Canadian appearances :

The Mad Caddies

 The Mad Caddies On Tour In Canada !

The Mad Caddies stand alone in their latest musical achievement. Combining elements of rock and roots reggae that evokes memories of the Clash, the Police and Sublime, the record Keep It Going takes the listener on a musical journey from lively Jamaican dancehalls to the underground DIY music venues of America. Keep It Going, the band’s 5th full length record, May 1st, proved to be the definitive record of the Mad Caddies’ successful career. Grammy award winning producer, Wayne Jobson (No Doubt, Gregory Isaacs, Toots & The Maytals), was brought on to help produce the album, and reggae legend Duckie Simpson (Black Uhuru) joined the Mad Caddies to sing on a cover of Delroy Wilson’s reggae classic “Riding For a Fall”.

Hailing from the central coast of California, the mayhem-core ensemble known as the Mad Caddies came into existence in the summer of 1995. Late in 1996, having grown tired of the regular sun, sand, and surf routine, they opted to lock themselves in a barn where they could truly focus on their music. At this point in the story things could have gotten ugly. Luckily when the band reemerged from the ramshackle studio they had completed their debut album, Quality Soft Core. Punk rock pariah Fat Mike heard their music and wasted no time bringing the young upstarts aboard his label, Fat Wreck Chords.

The Mad Caddies’ talents reach far beyond the boundaries of ska and punk, enabling them to throw a musical curve ball into the mix without notice. Reggae, dixie, jazz, surf, rockabilly, country and swing are all styles in which the group is well versed and aren’t afraid to inject into their unique brand of rock. The members of the Mad Caddies are as diverse as the music they perform but their most notable member is lead vocalist Chuck. Despite his penchant for booze and all things smokable, Chuck’s amazing voice prevails and his crooning could make even Morrissey blush.

The band has toured the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan countless times, including stints on ‘97, ‘98, ‘00, ‘03 Warped Tours and both the Euro and American Fat Tours of 2000. Between all this time on the road, the Mad Caddies have managed to release an EP, a live record, and three other full lengths on Fat: Just One More, Duck and Cover and the album that launched the sub-genre of “pirate-core”, Rock The Plank. Think about it, the lifestyle of the Mad Caddies consists of travelling around the country, making port in unfamiliar towns, causing trouble, imbibing spirits and random pillaging.

The Mad Caddies are getting ready to come back to Canada to end 2009 on a sweet note. This tour features Toronto’s own Fil Bucchino from Flashlight Brown on bass and as a special new addition Dustin Lanker from the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies  is adding his special touch on keyboards .

True rock n’ roll doesn’t require definition. It’s self-explanatory based on a gut feeling and the unconditional devotion to the musical genre. Nashville Pussy have celebrated their brand of genuine rock n’ roll for more than a decade, in classic style at times, surprising at others, but always earthy, raw and unadulterated. Band mastermind Blaine Cartwright (vocals, guitar), his wife Ruyter Suys (guitar), Karen Cuda (bass) and Jeremy Thompson (drums) spent three years working on their latest rock release, entitled From Hell To Texas, out on Steamhammer/SPV). Three years which saw the band hone their most impressive recording to date alongside the nonstop touring, from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Japan, and most recently almost a year straight with the Reverend Horton Heat, “We allowed ourselves this time to give the songs the chance to turn out as perfect as possible,” Cartwright explains. “We kept playing the new tracks at our rehearsal room until they really clicked. I feel they’re heavier and grittier than previous releases. The whole creative process took three long years, but the result has been worth the trouble.”

Their songs are mostly about fun and good times, but occasionally – as in the case of ‘Late Great USA’ – they also stick the finger into an open wound. “Although Blaine’s comical and satyrical themes mostly prevail on From Hell To Texas, there are two or three numbers which deal with more serious subjects. ‘Late Great USA’ is a political song, we simply had to vent our anger at certain grievances in this country.”

Like its predecessor, Get Some (2005), From Hell To Texas was produced by Daniel Rey. “We’ve known Daniel for years, he’s uber talented and a fantastic arranger,” Cartwright praises his producer. “Daniel works hard and likes the same music that we like. We’re simply a good team that gels perfectly in the studio.” Along with engineer/mixer Gordie Johnson, renowned guitar guru who is a producer in his own right, rounded out the team. But the best thing was: the whole album was recorded at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio in Texas on the same two-inch tape machine which Willie used to cut all his legendary albums from the mid-seventies,” Cartwright reveals, adding: “That machine sounds simply amazing, so natural, pure and unbelievably alive. We also got to meet Willie by chance while we were doing a photo shoot in his private ghost town, he was hanging with some buddies in his saloon and invited us in, he was truly one of the nicest and coolest people we have ever met.”

Nashville Pussy recorded a total of twelve new songs for From Hell To Texas. “At the end of the day, all four band members were very involved in the composition of these tracks,” Cartwright enthuses about his group’s efficient team spirit. “It’s turned into a real band album, the heaviest and catchiest we’ve recorded so far. We call it the Southern rock album that Alice Cooper never made. It’s our revenge record.” Canadian rock singer/guitarist Danko Jones can be heard on the track ‘I’m So High’

An impressive process based on a perfect foundation: Nashville Pussy’s new kick ass rock n’ roll album From Hell To Texas.

“Nashville Pussy have honed their art for more than 10 years now and “ From Hell To Texas” took more than three years to make, but wow it was worth the wait as this album covers all the bases. This is the band’s crowning glory and should not be missed!” (review from Power Play Magazine).

YOUTH BRIGADE

On Tour In Canada with The Bouncing Souls, Saint Alvia, and Off With Their Heads

Youth Brigade has announced the Canadian leg of their fall tour.  They will return to their native country with the Bouncing Souls, Saint Alvia, and Off With Their Heads in support of the upcoming Let Them Know: The Story Of Youth Brigade and BYO Records coming out on Youth Brigade members’ Mark and Shawn Stern’s own independent punk label, BYO Records on September 22, 2009.  Let Them Know: The Story of Youth Brigade and BYO Records is a beautifully packaged self-contained, triple-threat: a 90 minute documentary feature that chronicles their part in the Southern California punk rock scene along with a double LP audio compilation all contained inside a full color hardcover coffee table book. This boxed set celebrates the landmark of over 25 years for Youth Brigade, BYO Records and the Stern Brothers.

 Youth Brigade formed at the end of summer 1980 amid the explosion of the punk scene in Southern California.  The L.A. punk scene at that time had been detonated by the repressive culture of the post-70’s burnout.  Amongst many of the bands that would one day become known as early pioneers of the hardcore punk rock scene, Youth Brigade has created a legend as one of the most powerful independent bands in the North America.  The history of Youth Brigade as well as the surrounding D.I.Y. punk community — a tight knit group of comrades across the world — is given in the full-length documentary movie included in the above mentioned boxed set. The movie has previously screened in Canada at this year’s NXNE Music and Film Festival to an eager hometown crowd.  The documentary is an ambitious undertaking as is it’s companions in the boxed set; a full color, 13 x 13 hard cover book and audio compilation featuring the best to have come from the punk scene (NOFX, Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise, 7 Seconds, The Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag, Lag Wagon,) and many of today’s up-and-coming acts.

Let Them Know is a history of punk rock in Southern California that bridges the early pioneers with punks huge breakthrough in 1994 to those still smashing things up in 2009 and beyond! It’s an engaging look through visual, audio and the written word at this often overlooked chapter in the rise of punk rock specific to Los Angeles that influenced the rise of what continues to be the epicenter. In short Let Them Know is a movie “Celebrating Over 25 Years of Punk Rock” . Screenings of Let Them Know are scheduled across Canada (dates /times TBA).

On Tour In Canada with Youth Brigade, Saint Alvia, and Off With Their Heads
