The Ledge #733: New Releases Pt. 2

It's my birthday show!!! Yes, September 11 is a terrible day to celebrate a birthday, but one can't help when they were born. But what better way to kick off a birthday show with a brand new cover of "Teenage Kicks". Oh, yes, I was so excited when Malibu Lou sent me the file straight off the Rum Bar presses. I'll never tire of this song, especially when artists such as Christina Jean & Her All Stars create such a wonderfully uplifting version!

Of course, that's not the only Rum Bar Records treat, as I also air brand new songs from the legendary Cindy Lawson, The Laissez Fairs, and The Vibeke Saugestad Band. And, yes, I consider Geoff Palmer and Kurt Baker part of the Rum Bar family, even if their new tracks aren't technically on the label

Plus, "Teenage Kicks" is not the only cover on tonight's show. There's not one, but two Paul Westerberg remakes. One if from Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees, and then there's a track by Weird Nightmare from a new Sub Pop compilation called Maximum MN. (Sweeping Promises' cover of Husker Du is also from that comp.) There's also new reworking from Die Toten Hosen and Slaughter & The Dogs, along with four classic punk tunes from a charity comp called I Said Hit It.

That's not all. There's a plethora of veteran returns - The Thermals, Swansea Sound, Cocktail Slippers and The Ettes. There's a trio of tunes from our friends at Dam-Nations. Plus, quite a few brand new bands!
