Hello, all you Punks, Skinheads (not the racist ones), and Rude Boys alike! This is my first blog post for Punk Rawk Noize. I'm writing this blog to be a little more like my good friend Dan Cas because, frankly, who wouldn't want to be more like Dan Cas? The point of the blog is to enlighten those who want to be enlightened and inform those who want to be informed about punk rock. However, I am not Dan Cas so don't expect a review or explanation for every single song I post. So now, without further ado, the first Punk Rawk Noize song of the day.
This first song is a song I love from an album I love, from a band I love. "Special Professional" by Dead To Me from the album Cuban Ballerina (2006), their debut album and the only album with the original lineup of:
Jack Dalrymple - Vocals, Guitar
Brandon Pollack - Guitar
Chicken - Vocals, Bass
Ian Anderson (no not that Ian Anderson) - Drums
Straight outta 'Frisco, Dead To Me was started by Dalrymple and Pollack both were in One Man Army with Chicken of Western Addiction and Chicken's cousin Ian (what a cool name). DTM lost Pollack, but gained Nathan Grice shortly after Cuban Ballerina was released. The biggest lost was when Dalrymple left after the following EP, Little Brother to focus on his family. Recently, Dead To Me debuted a fresh new lineup, adding Sam Johnson (VRGNS, No Friends) on guitar and vocals and Ken Yamazaki (Western Addiction) on guitar. Oh, and they're on Fat Wreck Chords, my favorite record label with so many cool and awesome bands.
Eh, I tried to write a review, but I don't have as much to say as I would like. Still, I'd at least like to say that Jack Dalrymple's voice is one of my favorites of all time because it's just so beautiful and unique. Also, that riff is pretty friggin' awesome if you ask me.
That's all you're gettin' for today. Give me any feedback and suggestions you have because I'm curious about what all y'all think.
Buhbye for now
-Ian "Gandalf" Farmer
