Top 50 Records Of 2017 Pt. 12 (28 & 27)

Album No. 28 (Autobahn - The Moral Crossing)


It takes a lot of faith to build your own studio to record your second album, especially if you're a relatively small band from Leeds, if you're Dave Grohl or something it's just expected. Autobahn were right to have such faith however, 'The Moral Crossing' picks up perfectly where their debut 'Dissemble' left off, this time with a little more warmth to the music, clashing perfectly with the post punk coldness, mixing up a perfect storm of an album. Red, Grey or Black, i got Red.

Single / EP No. 28 (Bad Nerves - Radio Punk 7")


London rockers Bad Nerves came out of nowhere last year with the excellent 'Can't be Mine' single and this year they've already put out another two roaring garagey punk records, this is the 2nd of the two. A-side '  Radio Punk' has enough hooks to get some serious mainstream attention, B-Side 'Last Beat' is the harder of the two yet still full of catchiness, can see these lads going far.

Album No. 27 (The Schizophonics - Land of the Living)


I've been after hearing this album all year, The Schizophonics have been teasing everyone with the odd 7" on Spanish label Munster Records or a track on Swami records compilation but nothing meaty enough to listen to, they've made up for this by putting out an album, 10" EP and a 7" all in one year, and what makes it even more exceptional is that it all rocks. Special mention as this is a vinyl only list, they didn't even bother to release anything on cd at all this year. Imagine early Rocket From The Crypt jamming out MC5 covers with even more soul.

Single / EP No. 27 (Oneida - Town Crier 7")


I was always a huge fan of Oneida's early work and still get annoyed that 'Come On Everybody Let's Rock' never got a vinyl release. I'll admit i haven't kept up with their later work, some of what i heard just seemed too tame or experimental, then i saw they'd put out a 7" this year and decided to give it a try, thank fuck i did. This reminds me so much of their early heavier stuff and even similar a little to Clutch (definitely no bad thing), B-side 'Golden Age Of The Pariah' is almost like an instrumental musical to a wasp attack. Loving it!
