Cute Lepers - WFMU, East Orange NJ, 07-09-11 (Radio Broadcast, Bootleg)
I was dusting off my back-up HDDs this morning and stumbled upon this awesome radio broadcast of The Cute Lepers from 2011 on WFMU. I admit it, I love the Briefs, but the Cute Lepers were everything I like about punk rock. With one foot in early 80s power pop and the other one in the late 70s British mod revival. Imagine the early Rezillos singles, the Boys' first two albums with a good dose of The Chords and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders. Sound quality is excellent and so is the performance! Can't remember where I found it to give credit, my apologies in advance to the original uploader.

The Taxi Boys - Taxi Boys (White Trash Soul Real R'n'R No.1)
The poor sales of the Real Kids’ first LP prompted Felice to become a roadie for the Ramones, but soon after returned to Boston and formed the Taxi Boys (the name was obviously taken from an old Real Kids song), whose two EPs continued the Real Kids' tradition of the highly energetic 60s influenced garage rock 'n' roll, only a little poppier production wise. Felice and the gang (half former Real Kids members and half future ones) are in fine form on both. The Taxi Boys dates from 1980 to 1981, and the last thing they released was in 1982, but by then they had returned to the Real Kids name again. After all, all these songs were written as Kids songs, according to John Felice.
Gathered here are all their recordings as Taxi Boys of course and if you need a few pointers to go on, there's still plenty of Eddie Cochran guitars and Heartbreakers-esque melodies, only this time filtered through the Shoes or the Flamin Groovies from the late 70s point of view.
