"With about as much subtlety as a pub fight spilling onto the street, these four tracks vent against the church, dated attitudes, predatory creeps with wandering hands and more. This is still defiantly gay hardcore with no meat on the bone...."
UK HC ... "12 tracks of brutal, unrelenting, constantly contorting and mutating hardcore - perfectly encapsulating the desperation of living in the final generations of a failed state, watching the life of the planet ebb away. "
Where did all the hate come from for your sons and daughters? Band's from Nottingham in the UK and released this digitally as a single in April. It's really good. https://louderthanwar.com/cucamaras-death-of-the-social-single-review/

And now please follow me down the discographical rabbithole that is Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner," inspired by a book-talk invitation I just got from Joyce Linehan, High Priestess of the Church of Roadrunner. "Throughout the ’70s, Richman would record multiple versions of 'Roadrunner' .... Most versions began with Richman shouting 'One-two-three-four-five-six.' and they each contain references to Massachusetts-specific names, but some of them take detours to different parts of Massachusetts. More confusing is that the order in which these versions were recorded does not match the order in which they were released." https://popcultureexperiment.com/2016/04/18/cover-songs-uncovered-roadrunner/
Recorded 1974, backed by Greg Kihn Band. Discogs says it was the A-side of several 1977 7" releases from Berserkley, with various B-sides. I think this is the favorite version of many.
From John Cale-produced demos, also recorded in 1972. Some of us like this one best. "Boston-based band (1970–1974) formed by Jonathan Richman, recorded two studio albums (actually demos) which remained unreleased until 1976 and 1981."
