Back by popular demand!

Orignially posted in 2010 on Christmas day, for our 200th post. 11 Years later, I’m reposting it (because the original links are long dead) here because Distorted Media has re-released this ball of Christmas angst on Bandcamp! Stream it here, and buy it at Bandcamp.

So while the rest of your family may be blasting the Christmas “classics”…maybe you can figure out how to slide this little slice of Christmas magic into the mix

Dangerous Dame

Bad Idea

The self titled second release from Bad Idea. Give this a listen or 30. You’ll be hooked.

Tomorrow belongs to no one

Minneapolis street punk / Oi featuring Ollie Stench on bass. Get into this!

This is…Bad Idea

This debut ep is just devine! I’ve known Tim Fool and Ollie Stench for way too many years. Check this out. Solid rock right here.

self titled Christmas EP

How great is this?  Post #200 on Christmas day…and it’s a Christmas EP!

Ollie Stench is a veteran of the MPLS punk scene.  He was the final singer for the infamous Iron Fist.  He played bass for the Subversives.  He currently sings for Gash and The Ed Gein Fanclub.  He is also the bartender for the wildly popular Drinking With Ian TV show. Some bands that he has also been involved in are; The Dive Bomb Honeys, Trapazoids & Chinamen….I’m sure there are others too.  The MN Punk scene owes a debt of gratitude to this man.

So a couple of years ago Ollie decided to record a Christmas record, with that special Ollie Stench slant.  This 2 song master piece tells it the way it is.  The Christmas that everyone knows, and no one talks about.  Stop reading and grab the theme song to your Christmas now!

Get it here.

Ain’t Got Time (For Your Bullshit [Baby])

Tomorrow belongs to no one 12" EP (Vulture Rock 1996)

Who would have ever thought the term "Minnesota" and "Oi!" would ever be used in the same sentence?   Well the Subversives were a Minneapolis Oi! band featuring the one and only Ollie Stench on bass guitar.  I don’t know much about the rest of the guys in this band, other than I believe at some point they were stupid enough to kick Ollie out of the band.  Crazy.

Anyway, I found this baby on yet another blog site that posts in a language that I don’t read.  However, just like me, I’ll bet you understand the international language of rock and you’ll have no trouble finding the download link.
