We know what you want. Even if you don't

A day late, and the proverbial dollar short, but the planned recommendations update is here.

All the recommendations come from members of the Reservoir Droogs Facebook group.

Anything can get a shout out. The only rule is there are no rules.

Yeah, I know that doesn’t make sense. If you want shit to make sense then what are you doing here?  

Jimmy Devlin (Ex every punk band in Scotland, ex Wig Wam Bam, ex The Carpettes, currently on the run from debtors, and some angry fathers who will soon be grandfathers. Allegedly. His lawyer told us to say that bit.)

Green Room. Late to seeing this one, but for those who don’t know it is Patrick Stewart as the owner and top man of a dive bar. A skinhead/punk/metal club in the backwoods of the bad ol’ US of A.

Some right nasty stuff going on throughout, and far better than most of the supernatural horror movies released over the last couple of years. It’s everything that can go wrong does go wrong mixed with American History X.

Perfect date night movie if you want your partner jumping into your lap.

Klaatu has been getting some heavy plays around these here parts recently. Once considered to be the Beatles under a different name they also penned Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft that the Carpenters made famous.
Sort of lost in the mists of time, but worthy of a google in my humble opinion.

David (Munro) Orr (Vocalist Southern Approach/Outstandifold and the Wrttygrippers. Sex Badger and vodka and diet coke connoisseur)
Sex Pistols tour of London on YouTube. It proves that you can take the punk out of London, but not the London out of punk. Mainy (Res Droog will weigh in here about his beloved US bands)
And as if by magic here it is here for your consideration.

Glen Robertson (The Stumblers)

Outside suggestion, but The Hope County Choir with Let Your Water Wash away Your Sins is doing it for me, and the album that it comes from. It's part of the new Farcry game soundtrack, and to me it perfectly captures the gospel vibe with true country song writing.

And for all it sounds overly religious it’s written to be cult propaganda but someone else can draw the lines between religion and brainwashing.

Daniel Graham. The debut from Thunderpussy. Best name for a band since Split Beaver. Oooft.

And not so rock and roll, but Anthony Hopkins in King Lear is the daddy. 

Jeff King. Millie Manders & the Shut Up are currently on magnificent form, and been the talk of their recent festivals.

The Kut album is a belter too.



Pete Montador. Ghost in The Tanglewood from Ginger Wildheart has been getting bashed in the car, and the gig in Edinburgh was triumphant. (Link in Kels recommendations). Eureka Machines with Victories has been making an appearance too, but as of the Ginger gig it's Billy Liar that is getting a shout out from me. First time seeing him, but not the last.

Kel Droog (Right hand woman, the power behind the throne.)

Ginger Wildheart and his Ghost in the Tanglewood album has had me cheering and crying too. A very personal album, but made all the more powerful by the honesty that is on display.  

It was my birthday and Mainy (Res Droog) bought me some Alice Cooper Funko POP merch.

(Editor edit) What a nice guy he is.

A girl can’t have too much Coop merch. If you are into that side of thing then these are nice collectables.

Reservoir Droog A hand me down recommendation from me. Joe Whyte of Reaction and writer for Vive le Rock assured me that I would like New York Junk, and he was right. One EP purchased from Love Music in Glasgow and I’m deep in the groove. Bit of MC5, a whole lot of NY Dolls and a smidgeon of everything that made the seventies New York gutter scene so bloody attractive is thrown at the wall and what sticks is New York Junk.  
So from Joe to me to you. Here's New york Junk.

A review will follow. 

And just a reminder in closing to go with the recommendations. If you like what has been posted here then go and buy the album, see the band, watch the movie. Support the artists because if we don't then they can't entertain us.
