This week we had our friend Tyrone Taylor from Clean Cuts DJs pick a couple of his favorites.

Tyrone: “First up is Teenage Head hailing from Ontario, Canada. Their first release was the Picture My Face 7 inch in 1978. The first time I really took notice of these guys was in one of Micheal J. Fox’s first movies The Class of 84. There is a scene where they (Teenage Head) are playing a song called ‘Ain’t Got No Sense’, which is one of my favorite songs they did. This first album is pretty hard to track down and no one has reissued this one yet, so if you see it be sure to grab it.  If you are a fan of power pop and old punk this record is for you.”

Tyrone: “Next up is The Attack who are one of my favorite bands of the 60′s. This album is really diverse. One song will sound like mellow 60′s pop then the next is heavy like early Sabbath style. This band formed around 1966 in London, England. For all of you who like stoner-rock this has some really good just straight up heavy jamming songs like ‘Earth Tremor’ and ‘Spaced Out’. If you are more into 60′s garage and pop you might want to hunt down the songs ‘Too Old’, ‘Magic in the Air’, ‘Go on Your Way’ and ‘My Letters’. This is another hard to find album although you can get the mp3 versions on iTunes. There have been reissues so if you see this one at a record shop be sure to pick it up.”
