Noise Complaint 05/02/11

I hate to start the show off on a somber note but I think it is necessary to pay tribute to one of punk rock's most definitive voices. Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex died last week from cancer. She was 53 years old. Although X-Ray Spex only released one official album they still make just about every list of greatest punk rock acts.

Poly Styrene 1957-2011

On a lighter note, I have some new music for your ears to enjoy.

I've just come across this band called Pacer. Truth be told, I found them because I was looking up info about Iron Chic. Turns out, Pacer will be releasing a split with Iron Chic soon and you can listen to one of their songs HERE.


You're probably already aware that Small Brown Bike have returned to the scene in a big way with their latest album "Fell & Found." If you're curious what the record sounds like, you can stream the whole thing HERE. I don't think you'll be disappointed.


Do you want some new music from Iron Chic? They're giving away a 4 song EP for whatever you want to pay. Hell, you could download it for free if you want but if you throw the band a couple bucks I'm sure they won't be disappointed. Find out more at their BANDCAMP page.
