Man, you're all gonna get really tired of me talking about these new releases from Rum Bar Records (yeah, I know: some of you are well past that point already!). But in all seriousness, this recent slate of Rum Bar releases (many of them free downloads) has been pretty phenomenal. And I haven't even gotten to the new Watts and Muck and the Mires yet! I've been mentioning how Malibu Lou has been using his super powers to feature many of the shining stars of the Boston punk/garage scene. On that note, it seems so perfect that it's Rum Bar that will be bringing us new music from The Dents for the first time in 13 years! The Dents are legends in the modern lore of Boston punk. Their 2005 album
Time For Biting is a must-hear for fans of kick-ass catchy punk with a '60s girl group influence. It was released on Abbey Lounge Records - which was of course co-owned by none other than Malibu Lou! So The Dents and Lou have gone full circle, and you can expect a full EP coming this summer on Rum Bar! Jennifer D’Angora has released some outstanding
music with her
backing band The Deelinquents over the years. But something special happens when she and Michelle Paulhus join voices and play punk rock. Available now as a free digital single, "Last One Standing" is a remix of one of the band's classic tracks, originally recorded in 2006 by
Ed Valauskas. It's a high-energy shot of hooky punk that'll just about rock your face off. While longtime fans are very familiar with this song already, I'm hoping that this single will grab the attention of younger folk and people outside of Boston. Man, The Dents shoulda been huge. Maybe they still will be!
