The Ducky Boys – The War Back Home

I recently got this CD along with a small stack of others and today I randomly stuck The Ducky Boys in the MusicFilter Jukebox to give it a listen. I already know I’m the luckiest motherfucker on this earth but this random selection was a good choice. This three piece band from Boston quickly caught me good ear with a basic straight ahead approach to ROCK. Punk rock, Rock, whatever, they fucking rock from the first track “Celebrate”. Their bio on Sailors Grave paints a clear picture of this band, singing about life, love, living and dying. The best part is they come across very true without the usual bullshit involved when a band claims they sing about life and love.

It has been a while since I heard a band come across so true to ROCK and FUCKING ROLL. These guys should be on the radio…too bad radio sucks balls. (Duane you and I should start a pirate radio station online. I’ll help you choose the music. We could take over the world.)

The track “This time last year” is a very cool slower tempo song that actually doesn’t suck just because it is bit slower than the other tracks. Cool Voice and cool words.

However…the best track on this cd in my HUMBLE opinion is “Contrived and Treacherous”. I’m not sure of the meaning but the words are very very cool.

Contrived & Treacherous:

Contrived and Treacherous…You can live the life you choose
Contrived and Treacherous…Don’t subject us to your views

I remember when you kissed our asses back then
Now you deny it just to show off to your friends……

Go buy the album for the rest of the song and hear this awesome disc in full. Go to Sailor’s Grave Records to buy it.

Go ahead punk…I say get this one, you won’t be disappointed.

Linda Perry wants to save the Queen of Rock and Roll

Who is the queen you ask….according to Linda it’s Courtney Love. This is from the MTV website….

“My dedication right now is to bring back the queen of rock and roll, and that’s Courtney Love,” Perry said at Thursday’s “I Create Music” Expo for songwriters, put on by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. “That woman is brilliant, and I can’t allow myself as a music lover and someone who really respects that artist to go down with America’s Sweetheart. That record sucked. She knows it. The world knows it. It was a horrible, crap-ass record.”

Perry, the former 4 Non Blondes singer who has also written and produced for Gwen Stefani and Kelly Osbourne, is in the early stages with the former Hole frontwoman, but she says she’s confident nonetheless.

“She’s really focused, pleasure to be around, looks great, sounds great, really great ideas, great songs she’s written … so rehab was really good,” Perry said, laughing. “My job now is to make that [Courtney Love] rock and roll record that everybody’s gonna love.”

Here is a link to Linda Perry’s record label website.

Big Elf is a band Linda just signed that she says will be todays Black Sabbath.
