Bromheads Jacket - Rosey Lee

Bromheads Jacket

Bromheads Jacket have been featured here before but they deserve more exposure. Rosey Lee is from their 2006 debut album Dits From The Commuter Belt.

...this song is not a true story about someone... sadly, this is a true story for too many...

Art Brut, the band that is, are from England and don't take themselves too seriously. Funny lyrics, good tunes and an unusual singing style (which the singer comments on himself in Formed A Band - see below).

My Little Brother is from their 2005 debut album Bang Bang Rock & Roll which is a rather funny affair to say the least.

My Little Brother lyrics excerpt:

...My little brother just discovered rock and roll
   He's only 22 and he's out of control...

Formed A Band lyrics excerpt:

...And yes, this is my singing voice
   It's not irony
   And it's not rock and roll
   I'm just talking
   To the kids...

Their second album It's A Bit Complicated is out in June.

Adam And The Ants - Plastic Surgery

Adam And The Ants

Adam Ant 1977

London. 1977.

Derek Jarman's Jubilee movie starring a young Adam Ant was punk's "celebration" of the Queen's Jubilee.

Adam And The Ants were featured in the movie and the released soundtrack was to be their first appearance on any record.

Unfortunately, most of their recorded material from 1976-1978 (their best period) hasn't been officially released but can be found from various bootlegs.

Plastic Surgery is one of two Ants songs featured on the soundtrack. Top stuff!
