It seems the older I get the more I appreciate this sub genre. Insanely catchy lyrics and wonderful vocal harmonies. When I listen I imagine all the best life has to offer. I love Big Bang Babies and Tryx. Talks Cheap is not quite on the same level. Town Klown are good as well. Shame all they have is a 5 song demo. L.O.U.D. would likely fall into this genre as well.

 

What are some of the other bands in the genre and how can I get their releases?

Ironically Talks Cheap and Queeny Blast Pop share lineage...

 

and agreed there are many and IF they have cd's...

 

Sleezeroxx has an impressive downloads area with a ton of unknown glam stuff available.

 

 

I like Krayola Kids, Dikk Trikkle, The Zeros, Rev'lon Red, Cherry Bang, Ruby Slippers, Penny Lane, Strawberry, Sassycat, Glamour Punks, Juicy Miss Lucy, Ana Black, Guttersluts,Swingin Things...oh and the Fizzy Bangers are a fave of mine too!

 

That Demondoll site releases a bunch of this stuff but a good portion of it is cdr's...

 

Best bet especially obscure and demo stuff is downloads i recon.

Wasn't Cherry Bang called Bubblegum Mafia before? I like 'em a lot.

Big Bang Babies always were so sweet to me, especialy with "Love Drug", it sounds like candies :D

 

Try Pepsi Pop also

I had some demos from bands like Queeny Blast Pop, Krayola Kids, and Revlon Red on cassette. If possible I would like to get them on cd. Not sure how many have heard Play Rough before. They veer into candy glam territory on a few of their tracks.

Anyone else buy Darling Died Suicide? I have that in my collection. It's not really that great. Considering the time it came out it's amazing it even exists. I bought the Queeny Blast Pop. I love the first 6 tracks. After that it's highly disappointing. They dropped the bubblegum sound in favor of Green Day.

 

I would like to get more from this genre. Not sure if anything else is available and affordable.

Missed this thread. I own a lot of the stuff mentioned here, but to be honest, very little of it really works well for me. The second Hollywood Teazse album has some great stuff on it, love Big Bang Babies but I only really like one or two songs from most the others. Penny Lane have a couple of really cool tunes, but also a lot that go in one ear and out the other.

 

And seriously, Dikk Trikkle is the best band name ever. I've not actually heard this one - are they actually any good?

I like the Dikk Trikkle release.. actually listen to it 4 or 5 times a year.

Play Rough is awesome.....was friends with Rawleigh (lead singer) for many years back in the 90's. Have both of their demos transferred professionally to CD. Love them!!

 

Erotic Suicide is a good one too.....they veer a little towards sleazier hard rock...but would put them in with some of the other bands you mentioned.

 

Fashion Police is another one I'd recommend.

 

Lipstick is an extremely rare but great one too.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
