“I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.”
― Iggy Pop
This blog is an attempt to represent the gritty side of rock, musicians who weren't/aren't afraid to shake things up or freak people out. For those of us grateful that rock 'n' roll has a rich history steeped in the blood and sweat of greats like The Velvet Underground, The Birthday Party, The Pogues, Iggy Pop, Suicide, The Fall...It will recognise past musical greats, have it's feet firmly planted in the present and wild eyes fixed on the future.
My sole aim is to discuss music I am passionate about (those records that only ever seem to receive airplay after dark) and hope
that there are other like-minded souls who may come along for the ride, share their opinions or discover something new along the way.
"And some people say it's just rock 'n' roll, aw but it gets ya right down to your soul." - Nick Cave
