Here It Comes by The Ramrods

If you're a regular here you might have noticed a liking for the D. Was channel at My Damn Channel. So no apologies for another dip of the lid in that general direction.

There might have been some dispute about who owned the name and the songs when they reformed a few years ago but the current incarnation of Detroit's Ramrods undeniably pack a hefty left hook. This a song I first heard on a Dark Carnival bootleg. Dig the audacious Ig-moves from vocalist Ivan Suvanjieff (aka Mark Norton, an ex-editor of Creem magazine.) Clearly a band that knew which side of its bread the peanut butter was on.

Forget Bindi Irwin. Here are The Muldoons

Ever heard of The Muldoons? Probably not if you live outside of Michigan. Scott Morgan told me about the trio of two sub-teenage kids and their Dad on drums. Here's a taste.

The story at My Damn Channel goes...

"The Muldoons are a 3-piece family band that plays loud, aggressive punk rock in the great Detroit tradition. Brothers Hunter and Shane Muldoon (aged 14 and 10 respectively) write, play guitar and sing - their father, Brian, is a powerful, grooving drummer. For these sessions, they cut 4 great tracks in 45 minutes - if they'd only skipped school, we could've recorded a double album!"
