Ivy and the Rebels - Ska 7"

 

This is a re-post. I posted this many years ago and there's a chance that the band name "Ivy and the Rebels" is incorrect but that's the name that was used when I bought the record in a previous decade.

As I mentioned the first song just cuts off abruptly. I didn't do that. That's how it ends on the record. 

A - Love You

B - Do It

Stained Glass Alice

 

I'm confused by this band. They are a ska-punk band from Nuneaton, U.K. and they have one 9-song release that they put out in the early 2000s but, before that, they released this on 3-track demo CD. 

Here's why I'm confused. The songs on the CD are not the songs listed on the CD. The track list on the back cover says there are three songs:

*Juice Hair

*Last in the Class

*Red Handled Brush

...but on the CD itself there are these three songs:

1 Feel so Good

2 Good State

3 Tipsy

I'm thinking this is another band that recycled their demos to include a different demo. I searched the internet for the three songs listed and I found the song "Juice Hair" but I did not find the other two. I did find a few more and I included Juice Hair and the other ones in this download.

 

The missing songs listed on the back of their demo are not on the 9-track CD they released.

 HERE's a link to that one. 

Where are the songs Last in Class and Red-Handled Brush?

Here's what I have by them:

Feel So Good

Good State

Tipsy

Juice Hair

Mr. Scientist

(radio intro) Problems

Rag and Bone

Rubicon Passion

These are the seven songs in this download.

The Ammonites

This is a re-post deluxe. I am re-posting the 7" which is the only thing this band ever released and I posted on the blog many many years ago but I'm calling it a re-post deluxe because I'm including a lot of other things this band recorded but never released.

The band had a site that they posted these recordings on many years ago and I probably never would have known about it if Marco On The Bass didn't do a post about it. As far as I can tell the site is long gone.

Chowder Boy - The Soup is Off (2003)

 This is probably the worst cover I have ever seen for a ska album. This band is from the UK and they are heavily inspired by Sam Raimi films - Evil Dead in particular - but rest assured that this is a ska album. This isn't even "horror-ska" it's more along the lines of Less Than Jake. There are 8 tracks on this CD and 6 of them are ska-punk. None are punk/heavy metal. The cover is very misleading.

I think they were a great band but I think they screwed themselves with this CD cover. Ska fans would not have bought this if they saw this CD in a local record shop and any heavy metal fans who did buy this CD based on the cover would have been severely disappointed to hear ska music.

Angrybeans

Angrybeans (Angry Beans on the first tape, Angrybeans almost everywhere else) was a punk band from Italy who played lots of ska. Their first release was mostly punk with just a couple of ska songs but their second release was seven ska songs and three punk songs. Unfortunately my copy of the first tape came out really good but my copy of the second one is pretty poor quality. The tapes are a bit weird. On the first one the shell is printed with the band name and track listing along with other standard lettering but you can tell there was something else printed on the shell which was later scraped off. It said "Fabrizio Giagoni" under the band name and above the track listing. The second tape is exactly the same but the track list has also been scraped off but it's easy to make out that it's the same track list from the first tape.

So these guys recorded over their first tape for their second tape. Sadly, though the sound quality of the second tape suffers because of it. And it looks like they had an alternate cover for it at some point.

By the time they recorded their album they reverted back to playing punk with just a couple ska songs and the lyrics are primarily in Italian. 

They do have one other release which is an EP but all of the songs on the EP are on the album. The song "Baraonda Town" was on the second Italian Ska Invasion comp from 2002.
