Auspicious debut album by The Stranglers
The Stranglers' debut album, Rattus Norvegicus, released in 1977, is a cornerstone of the punk rock era. It showcases the band's unique blend of aggression, wit, and musical sophistication, setting them apart from their contemporaries. The album features a mix of punk energy and melodic complexity, with prominent bass lines, swirling keyboards, and sharp guitar riffs. Tracks like "Peaches" and "Hanging Around" are standout examples of their sound. The lyrics are often confrontational and provocative, reflecting the band's rebellious attitude. Songs like "Sometimes" and "Ugly" delve into themes of frustration and societal critique. The album's raw energy and unapologetic attitude make it a must-listen for anyone exploring the roots of punk rock.

The Boys With Perpetual Nervousness
The Feelies 1980 debut is a jittery, jangly, and deeply idiosyncratic record that helped define the American underground sound of the early ’80s. True to its title, the album is built on nervous energy and percussive experimentation. The band uses everything from claves and castanets to coat racks and shoes to create its twitchy, propulsive grooves. The guitar sounds are clean, chiming, and angular-think of 70's New York band Television’s precision with a geekier, more suburban twist. The guitars don’t dominate so much as interlock with the rhythm section in hypnotic patterns. Glenn Mercer’s vocal delivery is understated and nasal, often buried in the mix, adding to the album’s anxious, cerebral vibe. Absolute highlights include, "Fa Ce La" and "Raised Eyebrows" and a complete jittery, re-imagined cover of The Beatles "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey" originally from The Beatles "White Album", "The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness”, a perfect opener-twitchy, minimal, and oddly catchy. It sounds like its title. The album works superbly as a whole, from start to end. Great reissue in a beautiful Digipak with an excellent booklet containing a brief history of the band.
