Final hoof for any Wednesday local music lovers. www.pointblankteesside.com

Cheers folks, hope you all enjoyed the read. It's just the right size for a Trans Pennine train journey haha.

Hoof for any weekend fans of local music...

Ladies and gents, The brand new edition of POINT BLANK TEESSIDE is out today. Print will soon be available in Sound it Out Records, BASE CAMP, The Georgian Theatre, The Golden Smog, Twisted Lip, Disgraceland, The Parkside Cafe, Off the Ground, Tipsy Turtle, The Kopper Keg, Green Room and...

Rob knows the score like 👍

BASE CAMP has the solution! Polish music sensation Bajzel is flying in especially to play and his previous trips to Boro have been class. He’s joined by Leeds rock-noise duo Junk It (who are ace) and Teesside’s very own Pellethead… See you down there

Hoof! Don’t miss out…

I know - but Bajzel’s flown in especially for this gig… Not trying to twist your arm… haha! He’s going to be brilliant!

I'll have a listen ta! My favourite 'ska' tune on 'AOCTW' is defiantly 'Old Friend' mind...

For any music-lovers, we've got a great gig at BASE CAMP on Friday June 10th Hailing from the sunny climbs of North Poland, one-man mega act BAJZEL plays a brand of music which is hard to pin point. Aided by an array of guitar pedals and loop stations, BAJZEL's gigs are known for their high...

Had you heard of them previously? I thought they were absolutely class live. Some of their singles are brilliant.

Cheers rkangel … Always good to hear positive feedback! I had a great time producing this particular edition - especially the Stockton Calling pieces. Great features including The Shakin’ Nightmares and The Likkor Men too 👍

Agree that ‘AOCTW’ is a classic and probably their best 👍 However I actually prefer ‘LWW’ or ‘Rancid 2000’ as albums. Both very, very different too.

For anyone interested in local music and art - the latest PDF edition of POINT BLANK TEESSIDE is out now. Features interviews, gig reviews, columns and thoughts. Got a huge piece on the recent Stockton Calling events (review and thoughts from the bands who played) which we’re sure you’ll enjoy...

To be fair, it wasn’t just small town who didn’t understand the thread topic! Re. Common Rider - it was Jesse Michaels’ group post-Operation Ivy. Not the best band in the world but worth a listen if you were a fan 👍

Agree with Minor Threat... (they had a couple of decent EPs too). Would you class 'Operation Ivy' as a classic? I'm a huge Rancid fan... But I'm always a bit 'hmmm' when it comes to Operation Ivy. (Btw - Have you ever listened to Common Rider?)

Great shout. One of the best punk LPs ever produced. Well, perhaps not 'produced', it's bloody awful! But written and recorded. Can't believe how few people actually know of it. (I'm not a NYD fan btw - just can't get into them at all).

Wow - remember seeing these support a band at Middlesbrough Town Hall (Cast??) when I was at college. We got a free or cheap mini compilation tape with a couple of tunes on it. 'Heads High' and 'Face on Faces' if memory serves me correct, without looking them up. Haha!

He also took time to pen a column for my POINT BLANK TEESSIDE fanzine too. A piece called 'TEESSIDE MEMORIES' where he talked about The Adverts playing various places up here in the NE and even name-checks Steve Harland.

Seen TV Smith a couple of times at The Westgarth doing his solo stuff. Before the gig I requested a song he hadn't done for a few years and he said he'd see what he could do, and played it. A true gent.
