About this episode
Welcome to Wednesday and what a better way to get over the middle of the week by listening to The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show and a live gig featuring The Bermondsey Joyriders. The band are relatively new forming around 2007 and at one time Rat Scabies was their drummer of choice. Chris Musto formerly of Johnny Thunders is now the sticksman with Gary Lamin, ex Cock Sparrer, on guitar and vocals with Martin Stacey ex Chelsea on bass. The band is quintessentially English and looks like they’ve been rummaging around in Noddy Holders dressing up box. Sound wise there’s still is a nod to Cock Sparrer, with Guitarist magazine’s Charles Shaar Murray feeling that the band had achieved a “unique spin on punk-blues”. Three albums down the line in the form of their self-titled, “Noise and Revolution” and “Flamboyant Thugs” the Joyriders are gaining quite a solid following and not only from fans of their previous outfits. The threesome are also getting some choice support slots like guests to Walter Lure at the Jazz Cafe last Thursday. Both I and friend of the show and Squirrel associate Arkwight commented on how good they were, but don’t take our word for it, have a listen for yourselves.
