One of the few places that this was released in....for me, as a 13 year old in 1977,what came after ,that we now call post-punk or new wave, was all Punk. Punk rock is,like Celibate Rifles,no nonsense rock'n'roll, Punk Rock. Even the experimental stuff was all part of it for me...pop group etc.....then came the categories....i suppose they are necessary,as pop music is soooo diverse these days......but i think the reems of Heavy Metal genres are slightly silly.I suppose it means something to metalheads but for me,they only need maybe half a dozen,like classic, doom, death...etc.....don't ask me.<br />Glad you appreciate my work,spread the word.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-44355146367069554882021-01-25T00:43:16.243+01:002021-01-25T00:43:16.243+01:00Thanks for posting.

I just pulled it out of my collection this morning as I finally got my record player working properly. I'm not sure what prompted me to buy it: I had never heard of them. Maybe cos it's got Pushin' Too Hard and Beat On The Brat on it and I liked and still do like 60s Garage and Punk. I never thought of the music I listened to as a teenager in the 80s as punk: I just thought of it as rock music but when I read about bands like The Celibate Rifles on the internet these days they often described as punk. I just thought it was honest no bullshit rock unlike a lot of the crap in the top 40 like hair metal and soap stars turned pop stars.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for posting: it can be hard to find info on bands like this even with the internet.Pheelheapsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-74738276879693848412019-10-24T12:30:30.182+02:002019-10-24T12:30:30.182+02:00I like how each issue had a different cover, diffe...I like how each issue had a different cover, different running order, different name...even different members.

And it's not the music alone, I especially admire your way of writing. I'm sure you know more about art and life than most people do. Especially your remarks about losing friends by playing favourite records/tapes on occasions like christmas, birthdays etc (and having no friends at all if continuing doing so) mirrors my experiences over the last 30 years pretty well. Just a few days ago I tried to be nice to my family and play some davie allen christmas surf songs......And about The Vacants: This is definitively supposed to be real. And it is!
