MUSIC YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO VOL 3.

Greetings loyal acolytes! Your leader has descended from the heavens bearing fruits in the form of early 1990's punk, PROPAGANDHI. This is the kind of band that pretty much everybody I respect likes. They have recently come out with a new album that I'm not really feeling at this point in time. Like most immature boys I believe their best stuff can be found elsewhere in their careers with the very early fat wreckchords release HOW TO CLEAN EVERYTHING. This album definitely has some great individual songs (anti-manifesto, hallie sallasse up your ass and this might be satire) that to me go down as some of the best cuts of the 90's. This music goes real good with the beginning of summer, straight up positive and political fun. This band definitely got me to think more about the world around me as a teenager and were an all around great influence in my life! Seeing them back in the day (barrymore's had all ages shows and Ottawa still allowed smoking indoors!) with my boy zakon unique AMAZING and I cherish that memory. PROPAGANDHI - HOW TO CLEAN EVERYTHING get into it.

sometimes i don't know

Today is such a beautiful day. I have an upload post ready but I will publish it on a later date. Today I return to the traditional format of the video first policy we hold here at Youth Anthems. I also need to update the look of the blog I think. I'm thinking going from "kinda shity looking" to "sort of less shitty looking".

Today's theme is OLD SCHOOL FEMALE FRONTED 90's ROCK. We are going to have 1 shitty yet nostalgically hilarious band, 1 actually amazing band and 1 nostalgic guilty pleasure that I should consider shitty. But before we go into the theme I think I should let you know about a new artist.

SPEECH DEBELLE is a female rapper from England and I gotta say I enjoy the way she's using the form that is hip hop. She maintains a youthful honesty all while keeping her dignity as a woman which is sometimes sadly (and not so sadly) thrown out the window with female MCs. The song is called GO THEN BYE. Might be a bit safe but I really like it.



WOMAN FRONTED 90'S ROCK/GRUNGE/ALTERNATIVE MAINSTREAM CRAP THEME

N.1 is possibly one of the bands I suffered through the most through MuchMusic and MusiquePlus... VERUCA SALT. I thought they were Canadian they had so much airtime but no they were from Chicago and just caught on the whole grunge shit. The girls were also considered to be hot for the particular scene they were trying to evoke. Their first single isn't too bad if you're looking at it from a nostalgia point of view. It's called SEETHER. Videos from this era all had fish eye lenses and fucking cats in them (as well as skateboarding sometimes). If I were to do a video for a local band I would just copy the shit of this type video.

Now we go with a video that came out during the same period (1993-1994) called SAINTS by THE BREEDERS. Aka Kim Deal's "other" band. Great shit, great 90s video feels way more authentic than the previous video. All around great vibe from the 90s alterna-grunge wave that hit the mainstream.



Now we have the final phase of this female alterna-grunge wave with English group REPUBLICA. Jesus I really liked their singles and videos in grade 6-7-8. They added in electronic elements that foreshadowed the coming breakout popularity of electronic music culture. You might recognize the catchy song READY TO GO. Not a lot of artistic merit but it reminds me a lot of days spent glued to the god damn music video channel.

music you should listen to vol 2.

Happy saturday kids. I'm going to go see Star Trek tonight and I am pumped up. I hope it can preserve Ole Gene's vision though. I will give you all the Youth Anthems review plus tard.

I am giving you 1998's F#A#∞ (pronounced f-sharp, a-sharp infinity) by GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR. A perfect mix of high art, anarcho-punk and ancestors of the modern day hipster. GYBE (I decided to not give a fuck about the exclamation mark) is one of the greatest MTL band's of all time and was always unanimously revered within my local hardcore scene here in Ottawa. This release contains music that was heavily edited for the beginning scene in 28 Days Later. It work pretty well in the movie but the rest of the soundtrack kind of rips off their style and it goes against their omnipresent punk ethos. I have no problem though if a small concession means a band can keep going or give them some financial comfort. Nothing wrong with getting your slice of the pie na mean? Anyways the music is great to listen lying on your bed and zoning out. I also want to add that I appreciate this record a lot more at 24 than I did at 17 which is pretty cool cause I liked it back then.
