King Prawn were fantastic.

Sonic Boom Six are even better than ever, probably the best punk band in the U.K right now. Should be back in Aberdeen later in the year. They were even in NME the other week.

Was P-Rock the channel that played this song every god damn 15minutes for like a year?

YouTube - Spunge - Jump On Demand

If it was, I hated this channel with a passion.

Some p-rock favs:

YouTube - Hopskotch
I lost track of the amount of times i would switch to that channel and that song would be playing (and I'd instantly change the channel!)

Its a strange one because theres something likeable about it, but its so damn annoying that i just can't stomach listening to it. (All those moonska bands seem to play a million different styles, and would throw in some ska guitar just to get on the label..."its ska....honest")

Some of my faves were Goldfinger - Spokesman, Face to Face - Debt, Motion City Soundtrack - Throwdown, Hot Water Music - Paper thin, Guttermouth - End on 9, No use for a name - Soulmate, even that awful graveltrap song...

Whitmore were fucking terrible. As was pretty much everything on that channel, apart from Hot Water Music.

Spunge are one of the most embarassing bands I've ever seen live, and I wish I'd sat outside during their set. Has anyone got a copy of the picture of their setlist, with the bits written between the song titles, telling the band members what to do, like "spray beer on the crowd" and even telling them when to take a drink themselves.

Classic.

Ha ha ha ha ha. That's brilliant, especially considering the tune most people remember them by being called "Jump on Demand" (which I've been listening to this fine summer day).
