Two feet on the ground - Sludgeworth Ignoring all their truly horrible songs which aren't so much horrible but just weird and different, this is my least favourite Sludgeworth song. It's a lot like yesterday's song in that it is very boring and repetitive, without any effort for climax. It sounds like two parts lumped together, calling them verse and chorus, and playing them the requisite number of times to call it a song. "Two feet on the ground" is repeated too often, just [...]
Never say never - Sludgeworth I think i've been misrepresenting things by holding Sludgeworth up to be one of the best ever yet most underated pop punk bands. By keeping them confined to the pop punk rubric. It's the Screeching Weasel connection, and that they are indeed a pop punk band, but there is more going on here. I don't mean their unfortunate funk punk side which is convenient enough to ignore. It's the Naked Raygun and Chicago (city) in them. It's [...]
Only one - Sludgeworth The likeliness of me ever posting a song from that other, less discussed, dating, cringeworthy side of Sludgeworth - the slap bass, wah-wah, bro-chorus, bad funk side - is very small. Unless something horrible happens. Seriously, what went on there? Why, when you are writing some of the best pop punk ever, and you're clearly sensible, discriminating people, would you, if not for irony's sake, choose this direction. I know it was the early 902s, but still they should have [...]
Over and over - Sludgeworth Is the "one. two. one two three four!" and those little pauses that happen before the chords the second time it progresses around just an unavoidable, reflexive convention every pop punk band must incorporate into a certain percentage of their songs, or a calculated affectation to humour us. They do not need to be there, they sound forced and overdone, and you'd think Dan Shaefer would be above such mediocrity. But boy, when they come around, are they fist-pumpingly [...]
Only one - Sludgeworth It's just really fascinating news, folks. Good night
Anytime - Sludgeworth You should have been cool like me and bought this record for AU$5 from Clint Shortfuse and his layover distro. That's all i'm good for - finding good records no one else wants for cheap. It's the only measure of worth i register on, really. Hey hey!
Nearest one to stand behind - Sludgeworth That this band is all but forgotten about, or always seems on the verge of all but being forgotten about, is testament to the reward of being on the right record label, and, when finding yourself on the right record label, having your record remain in print. If there wasn't the Screeching Weasel connection, Sludgeworth would fall into even further depths of neglect and unappreciation. No one would know. Myself included. Only those Chicagoans [...]
More pop punk than you can shake a stick at. From the short-lived Sludgeworth to current stuff that borders on mall-punk, pop punk comes in many different flavors. Consider this a sampler platter. MP3 | MxPx - Punk Rawk Show from the 1995 album Teenage Politics MP3 | All Time Low - Dear Maria Count Me In from the 2007 album So [...]
S o I thought it would be nice to honor a few requests with this post. Some Lanemeyer, J Church, and more. My daughter's temporary tattoo has been on for over a week now and shows no signs of coming off (well, maybe just a little). I think she's gonna be a punk fan as well. Keep your requests coming. Nine down, one to go. MP3 | Sludgeworth - Only One MP3 | [...]
H ello there. I've been relaxing and just taking it easy around here for the past week or so and it has been really nice. Amy's been sick a good portion of the week, so I've been playing a little more Mr. Mom that usual. all is well though. The songs below were the first ten that played on the iPod this morning as I was doing dishes and making coffee. Not a bad way to start the day, eh? MP3 | Sludgeworth - Another [...]
