RADIO BIRDMAN

"Do The Pop! Redux Part One" is a double CD compilation released in December 2007 by the Australian
THE LIPSTICK KILLERS

label Shock Records under their Savage Beat! imprint. It serves as the first installment of an expanded trilogy documenting the history and evolution of the Australian punk, post-punk, and garage rock scene. 
                                   
THE SCIENTISTS

This release is a follow-up to the highly successful 2002 compilation, "Do The Pop! The Australian
THE HITMEN

Garage-Rock Sound 1976-1987. While the original 2002 version featured 50 tracks, the Redux series was designed to provide a much more extensive archive, aiming for roughly 150 tracks spread across three volumes. This first part focuses heavily on the early, raw years of the scene, covering the period from 1976 to 1981. 
                                  
THE SUNNYBOYS

The compilation features rare recordings, unreleased tracks, and iconic anthems of the Australian underground. It maps out the musical geography from the birth of punk in Brisbane and Sydney to its evolution into power-pop.
Some of the most notable acts and tracks included are:
01. The Saints: Features the iconic "This Perfect Day", alongside a rare, primitive 1974 rehearsal version
THE SAINTS

of "(\I'm) Stranded" back when the band was still called Kid Galahad & The Eternals.
02. Radio Birdman: The pioneers of Australian garage punk, along with tracks from key spin-off groups (splinter bands) like The Visitors, The Hitmen, and New Race.
03. TV Jones: A pre-Birdman outfit featuring Deniz Tek, providing historical context to the roots of the scene.
04. The 31st & The End
: Brisbane bands featuring members who would later go on to form the acclaimed Died Pretty.
05. Other Notable Artists: Includes tracks by the Sunnyboys, The Flaming Hands, ME262, and various other contemporaries of the punk era. 
                                  
THE END

Collector's Value: The release comes with a highly detailed, informative booklet (sleevenotes) filled with
THE 31ST

rare photos, making it a valuable historical archive for collectors.
Critical Response: Music critics (such as in Record Collector and The Guardian) praised its immense historical value in mapping out a geographically isolated scene. However, some noted that because it targets the very early years, it leans heavily into raw, lo-fi punk, making it more appealing to die-hard fans than casual listeners.

Jesus On Heroine: Tremolo Eastern Salvation 2013

 

What can we say about Jesus On Heroine? Well, the truth is, tracing down information on these guys is pretty damn difficult. They like to keep way under the radar. They are a mysterious psychedelic


shoegaze band from Copenhagen. They are influenced by The Doors, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and, strangely, Kasabian, and they clearly want their music to speak for itself. They’ve been around since 2011 and released their first album in 2013, Tremelo Eastern Salvation. The video for their song, ‘No Hard Feelings,’ presents a naked woman swaying from side to side against a backdrop of psychedelic rainbow jellyfish—it’s pretty trippy.
                                  

Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark eclectic rock band Jesus On Heroine evolve around dreamy psychedelia, noise-rock and drone-based shoegaze. The group released their debut album entitled

Tremolo Eastern Salvation… This is music to get lost in, with more ambience and dream-like cloudiness than you can shake a stick at. They are venturing out from wherever they hide to play Berlin’s Psych Fest in April 2014, joined by a hearty line-up of international psychedelic bands. Here’s hoping for a live interpretation of the naked woman with jellyfish as part of their performance. If they can’t manage that, I reckon it would be a pretty decent show anyway.
                             

The group released their debut album entitled Tremolo Eastern Salvation in 2013 and now the time has

come for the release of the video of the first single “Musasabi” of the second album Ardhanarishvara. The theme of the new album is “everything is a remix”. The idea is that the original piece doesn’t exist. The ambition is therefore not to create something unique beyond what is already produced. The hope is nevertheless to search the new in the old. To emphasise this the album is going to be released in three versions. Three different moods made by three different producers and DJ’.

Public Image Limited: First Issue 1978 + Metal Box (Second Edition) 1979 + The Flowers Of Romance 1981 + The Greatest Hits, So far 1990

 

Public Image Ltd (abbreviated and stylised as PiL) are an English post-punk band formed by lead


vocalist John Lydon (previously, as Johnny Rotten, lead vocalist of the Sex Pistols), guitarist Keith Levene (a founding member of the Clash), bassist Jah Wobble, and drummer Jim Walker in June 1978.
The group's line-up has changed frequently over the years; Lydon has been the sole constant member.
                       

Formed by John Lydon in the wake of the collapse of the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd. is a shape-

shifting musical project in which the bilious singer and lyricist explored his ideas without compromise.
Depending on what period of the band's career you choose, Public Image Ltd. (officially abbreviated PiL) could sound like bass-heavy post-punk thunder (1978's Public Image: First Issue), an inspired fusion of Krautrock and dub (1979's Metal Box), muscular and expertly executed alternative rock (1986's Album), or polished but angular dance-friendly pop (1989's 9), with many other stops along the way. 
                            

Despite a constantly shifting lineup and musical approach, Lydon's bitter howl -- full of anger, pain, and sometimes sardonic wit -- gave PiL's many guises a musical and thematic through line, and at their best,

his collaborators created music as powerful and absorbing as Lydon's intense charisma. Lydon revived PiL for live work in 2009, and the reunion albums This Is PiL (2012), What the World Needs Now (2015), and End of World (2023) featured some of his strongest work since the '80s. In 2023, PiL released the unexpectedly tender song "Hawaii," a love song Lydon wrote for his wife, Nora Foster, who died after a long illness in April 2023.

01. PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED - FIRST ISSUE 1978

                        


Like it or not, Public Image Limited's First Issue (aka Public Image) was an album that helped set the pace for what eventually became known as post-punk. In England a vacuum had opened up in the wake of the breakup of the Sex Pistols in January 1978, and many punk fans and rival groups were

impatient to see what ex-Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon aka "Johnny Rotten" was going to roll out next. Disheartened owing to events in his legal proceedings against the Sex Pistols management company Glitterbest, and disgusted by the punk scene in general, Lydon was determined to create something that was neither punk nor even really rock as it was known in 1978. Working with ex-Clash guitarist Keith Levene, first-time bassist Jah Wobble, and Canadian drummer Jim Walker, Public Image Limited produced an album that represented the punk sound after it had shot itself in the head and became another entity entirely.

02. PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED - METAL BOX (SECOND EDITION) 1979

                  


PIL managed to avoid boundaries for the first four years of their existence, and Metal Box is undoubtedly

the apex. It's a hallmark of uncompromising, challenging post-punk, hardly sounding like anything of the past, present, or future. Sure, there were touchstones that got their imaginations running -- the bizarreness of Captain Beefheart, the open and rhythmic spaces of Can, and the dense pulses of Lee Perry's productions fueled their creative fires -- but what they achieved with their second record is a completely unique hour of avant-garde noise.  It's alien dance music.

NOTES

Metal Box is the second studio album by Public Image Ltd, released by Virgin Records on 23 November 1979. The album takes its name from the round metal canister which contained the initial pressings of the record. It was later reissued in standard LP packaging as Second Edition in February 1980 by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom, and by Warner Bros. Records and Island Records in the United States.
Two different versions of the artist's name on the release:
On the front and back cover it reads: Public Image
On the spine and disc it reads: Public Image Ltd

03. PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED - THE FLOWERS OF ROMANCE 1981

                       


As opposed to the axis of throbbing bass and guitar slashings of Metal Box, The Flowers of Romance is

centralized on razor-sharp drums and typically haranguing vocals. No dubwise grooves here -- bassist Jah Wobble was kicked out prior to the recording for ripping off PiL backing tracks for his solo material. And growing more disenchanted with the guitar, Keith Levene's infatuation with synthesizers was reaching a boiling point. His scythe-like guitar is truly brought out for only one song. Stark and minimal are taken to daring lengths, so it's no surprise that Virgin initially balked at issuing the heavily percussive record.

04. PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED - THE GREATEST HITS, SO FAR 1990

                           


The Greatest Hits, So Far mines the singles PiL released through 1990. Ten years after its release, it was

doubtful that a second volume would surface (the '90s saw one lone studio release, not to mention a John Lydon "solo" record), so thankfully Lydon didn't embarrass himself by titling it "The Greatest Hits, Volume One." That said, not many outfits under the guise of one name can boast a collection of singles so diverse and ranging in quality.

The Noise Figures: Aphelion 2015 + Telepath 2018


 

  " A psyche-garage trip by car... through time. "

The Noise Figures are like a time machine channeling The Sonics and The Doors: They pass through 1960s garage and ‘70s psychedelia, taking in ‘90s alt-rock and modern fuzz along the way. The Athens-based duo is comprised of George Nikas (vocals, drums), already known to Greek


audiences from his previous work with Zebra Tracks, and Stamos Bamparis (guitars, vocals), also known from his time with the grunge group Keyser Söze.
In January 2012 they released their single ‘Bitter Taste’ and entered the studio to work on more material. The Noise Figures EP was released digitally later that year and was soon followed by their self-titled debut album. In 2018 the band returned more fearless than ever with their third full-length studio work, Telepath, inspired “by the theory of spiritualism and personal experiences” to use their own words. 
                        

The band connects, in a unique way, 2013 Athens with 1965 San Francisco through the musical influences of the band. Restless fuzz guitars flirting with old-fashioned garage but also with contemporary blues,

amps with plenty of spring reverb and dirty overdriven vocals form the music backbone of their sound.
The lyrics draw their themes from experiences on the road and express a dizzying madness for life. Traveling by car under the hot sun, hallucinogens, girls next door and beautiful wild landscapes are some of the inspirations of the two artists who are driving the imagination of the listener on an adventurous Kerouacian journey. “The Noise Figures” is best listened loud and is the ideal soundtrack for escaping the urban boundaries by car.
                                

In 2020, the Athens-based drums-guitar duo of George Nikas and Stamos Bamparis released their heaviest

album to date. The Perfect Spell is a dark and cynical glimpse into a metaphysical void- how else can someone describe an album that begins with the wildly joyful “I Cheat Death” and ends with chugging riffs in “Pilgrims of the Dark”? The Noise Figure take a step forward by taking the road back to their fiery rock n’ roll roots and their heavy psych inner-self, with metallic drum beats and brain-pounding energy, feeling more improvised and loose than ever.

                                             

01. THE NOISE FIGURES - APHELION 2015

                                   


Two years after the release of their self-titled debut that created a great sensation, The Noise Figures duo

is back dynamically with “Aphelion”. After two European tours, hundreds of concerts in all major Greek cities and having shared the stage with some of the most important bands (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Growlers, Japandroids, No Age, Dead Meadow, Sonic Jesus, Sylvain Sylvain), George Nikas (drums, vocals) and Stamos Bamparis (guitar, vocals) elevate the musical tones and offer us some of the best songs of the year. Recorded in five days, on a reel-to-reel tape machine, with vintage gear and tuned to A=432 Hz, produced and sound engineered by Alex Bolbasis in Artracks Studios, ”Aphelion” answers the

question of what happens when you combine ideally the raw power of Death From Above 1979, the spirit of Black Sabbath and the fuzz of Black Angels. Spunky vocals, massive guitar riffs and sticky tunes in harmony with a special engraving, created by Bob Studio for the cover artwork, are making ”Aphelion” an album that is here to stay.

02. THE NOISE FIGURES - TELEPATH 2018

                            


Two and a half years after “Aphelion”, The Noise Figures return more frenetic than ever with their third full-length studio work entitled “Telepath”. Inspired by the theory of spiritualism and influenced by personal experiences, “Telepath” is an intoxicated concept album, with intensively sobering attention to

detail in every single track, revealing a different side of the band’s personality and crossing all the paths the duet from Greece has traveled so far, from heavy blues to psych garage to a fuzz vertigo. With its swinging moods of bright to dark undertones, the album sounds sharper than ever, with more energy, intensity and tuneful sensibility, capturing the band’s hundreds of live performances and touring thrust. With Alex Bolpasis’ stamp on production and mixing, The Noise Figures develop the artistic freedom they have cultivated over the years, while keeping their primitive spirit of raw guitar and drum sound intact.
