Song We Like: You Make Me Wanna Be Bad by Pale Lips

The Holy Crap Records Podcast is all about the art form of song – and this is a classic. It’s garage rock, it’s classic rock-n-roll, it’s doo-wop – like a dirty street hit from the late 1950s was rediscovered. And the heart of the song is the perfect line: you make me want to be bad. The nugget of gold at every great rock song. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill

One of my favorite songs from the Godless America Records Vol. 6. This is a wonderful basement home recording with a massive acoustic guitar and distorted blown-out voice. It’s a shaggy dog story of sitting and staring at a cup of puke between your feet and wondering who is starting all this bullshit now? Epic and cool. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods is one of the many music ventures of our friend Quinn Powers. Here he is all catchy pop and delicious beats and synth. The understated vocal line is so hooky and dreamy. Wonderful play with dynamics – not loud and soft – but simplicity and complexity. This is so good I was dumb enough to ask if it was a cover – I’m dumb.

Song We Like: Give Me Metal or Give Me Death by Lavender Blue

Some of the prettiest, most beautiful singing. The evocative wanderings of the artist. “Give Me Metal or Give Me Death” is a graffiti slogan. This is a sly love song, through the recounting of a day, she asks for a piece of his/her heart. As a listener you’re totally willing to give Lavender Blue a piece of your heart. Also – just wonderful slide guitar.

Song We Like: Killer by Ruby The Hatchet

It is so redundant to say that Ruby The Hatchet is bad ass. The riffs are killer, this is so tight, and the blues rock organ in gorgeous. The is the finest blues rock, leaning into the metal space, you will ever hear. These guys know how to give the audience exactly what it wants – and they deliver. Total killer. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Beneath The Sea by The Hit Dogs

We know Neal Ward and the various bands he’s fronted. So The Hit Dogs just released their first album – “Without Further Ado” – and they’ve moved from their grunge and Pearl Jam influences of their previous bands. It’s really interesting to hear them developing this new rhythm and percussion and very cool understated guitar and vocals.  Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #82 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.
