(From It’s Easy To Feel Like A Nobody When You’re Living In The City album; 2020)
Proper Brat-Wave bubblegum Power-Pop from Juicy B & The Thunder Zone Band. If I say Deal With The Dream is catchier than an STD in Times Square circa the early 80s it’s not to lower the tone, but because this shit wouldn’t have sounded outta place in season two or three of The Deuce. Song surely woulda been a single if Juiceboxxx hadn’t vanished entirely from the internet.
(From Love And A Molotov Cocktail 7″ single; 1978)
Let’s be honest here – 70’s New Punk Rock ain’t a patch on 70’s British Punk Rock. The proof? Even a third-tier U.K group of Coventry oiks like The Flys have a legit 10/10 gobshite Punk classic which bodies the combined discographies of the entire 70’s New York scene other than Blondie, The Ramones and the one good Richard Hell & The Voidoids song. New York’s alright if you like junkies with nary a decent tune in sight!
