Ben Tan is someone who is extremely near and dear to KLYAM. In fact, it was his idea for us to name it Kids Like You & Me (KLYAM) in reference to lyrics from the song “Bad Kids” by our favorite band Black Lips. I can’t imagine what we would have dreamt up for a name! Ben has been one of our best friends since we were lads. He has been fighting cancer hard and we hope to raise some dough to at least help with the expenses and support him and the fam during these difficult times. Ben has always been there for others and is a pillar of the music community. Now it’s time to show him some love!
March flew by! Already digging into some new tunes for April. But before we get there, above is what I listened to in March. A couple Boston heavy hitter Garage Punk demos from new/oldcummers Lithophones and Puke Pisstols. I caught The Showcase Showdown opening for Dropkick Murphys. Their first show since 2000 and my first time seeing them! Hey, I’m not a fucking dinosaur and I guess I wasn’t a hip child. Sue me. They were great! I had already heard one of their albums before and some of their EPs/45s, but I listened to the others in preparation for the show. Catchy songs that you can hear once and remember forever. Haven’t felt that way about a band since our darling Fat Creeps many moons ago. I have caught Showcase members Tom and Victoria in more recent years in their sick goth band Gossip Collar. Boston legends. Speaking of Boston legends – yes a GG Allin acoustic album was one of my faves this month (sue me again!) but no, I wanted to discuss a new release from a different group of Boston legends. DMZ. I have been a fan of their stuff and it’s pure Rock and Roll/Classic 70s Punk/Garage Rock. So much fun! The holy Crypt Records released a lost studio session from 78 with different takes of DMZ classics fans should recognize. Until next time. Gritty and Nervous Guys are hitting the road; maybe I’ll have some stories! Cheers! – Chris

Dayemmm, I know February is the shortest month, but that flew by! I don’t like to speed up time, I like to linger, but fuck, get me out of this snow. At least the tunes have kept me warm. I like to think of myself as a head, but then sometimes I don’t. I’m not one of those see/saw kids or whatever the fuck, I can’t keep up with y’all! I want to focus more on quality over quantity. I started something new this month. I’m putting my favorites in bold. My favorite contemporary release was the impressive debut/demo from New Orleans’ W-9! A lot of punk can get stale and boring sometimes, but this one whipped my ass and it did before I even finished my beer! It’s a fun racket. Noisy and dirty, but I can hear everything smoothly. They just had their first show and it looked splendid. I’d love to see them live! Here’s their bandcamp: https://w-9music.bandcamp.com/album/w-9-demo
You’ll notice a series of older releases in bold as well. I found all of those on Sean Lynch’s You Tube channel. Amazing! So much good shit! Lots of weirdo Punk (block your ears if you’re squeamish and uptight), Power Pop, Old School Hardcore, and more! And I barely scratched the surface! Peep it here. https://www.youtube.com/@TelevisionTrash
Well, this was fun, but onto March. Seeing The Spits and Snooper (among others!) in NYC and Boston next week. Pumped! Peace. – Chris

Unfortunately, my list didn’t save in Microsoft Word, so I am probably missing some stuff here! I was able to list off the above based on my queues.
Boston’s Puke Pisstols’ debut “The Lost Recordings” is the best thing I heard this month! The latest rock and roll juggernaut from Andy Macbain/Hilken Mancini/Johnny Sheeran/Simon Simard. Supergroup! It has that classic Macbain blown out sound. I don’t know how he gets it! The whole gang is great though. And hey, we the KLYAM get a shout out on “Year of the Rat.” Holy shit!
There’s also a new Andy California release (older songs).
Lots of good shit, current and old, and a handful that were fine, but probably won’t receive a second listen!
Happy Farm had a sick demo! Weird ass, screechy vocals the way I love them! Maybe you’ll see them on a Best of 2025 list if I ever actually get around to that…..

I don’t have a year ender for you yet! I’m still compiling that; stay tuned! In the meantime, this is what I listened to for the first time in December. Lots of Christmas music! I got a few new records this year. Dean Martin, Ray Conniff, a sweet Country compilation, in addition to all the usual classics I enjoy!
Angel Face’s Out in the Street was probably my favorite! No surprise with members hailing from the legendary Japanese Garage Punk outfit Teengenerate! I thought it was better than their previous releases. Not as fiery and messy as Teengenerate, but some sick, impressive Power Pop. Gritty and I saw them at Gonerfest in 2024 and we actually met them at the airport. Super kind! Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments is a band I’ve been meaning to listen to forever and have only done in bits and pieces over the years. I finally listened to a whole album! It was awesome! What have I been smoking this whole time? New Bedford icon Mike Mountain’s favorite! Scuzzy, not quite right, but fees too good to be wrong noisy rock and roll comparable to fellow Ohioans Pagans as well as Pussy Galore. To quote Marge Simpson “I Just Think they’re neat.” Freak Phone is a newer local band (Portland, ME) I have my eye on! I’ll see them at Midway on 1/31 and I hope to book them myself in the new year!
Happy New Year fuckers, suckers, bozos, jokers, smokers, uppers, downers, dinos, winos, dryjanuaryers, and keeping wet dreams alive. I’ll be posting my year enders soon enough. Maybe even a movie year ender????? Who knows?! Cheers! – Chris
It’s been fun doing these monthly documentations of what music I have been hearing for the first time! I look forward to making this post every month, but more importantly it will be even more enjoyable months and years later to look back and see where I was way back when.

A lot of Punk and Garage and blah blah blah as usual. Lot of current releases including some local heads: Whyte Lipstick, P.V., Orange Whip, and Adult Learners! All great live bands too! I tried to also lean into some other genres a bit more like Hip Hop. Meagan Thee Stallion, Odd Future, and Triple 6 Mafia. I listened to Blondie’s debut album (I had previously only heard the singles) and Malcolm McLaren’s Swamp Thing at the recommendation of a friend. I didn’t even know he made music! It was a bizarre one and I don’t know if I’ll revisit or not, but it was worth the ride!
October has come and gone… way too fast! I often listened to a Halloween mix I made 5 years ago as I do every October!
Anyways, below is stuff I listened to for the first time ever. Lot of new shit, Lot of punk shit. Got into Schizos again. Not sure if I ever listened to their stuff before besides a Live at Hi-Tone record in which they were thrown out of the Hi-Tone venue! I was there! It was a Gonerfest after party. It was a crazy show and then I saw them again there a year later. They somehow managed to sneak their way in under an alias. At THAT show I got a concussion. Records can’t do justice, but they come close enough! Another stand out for me was an album I never thought I’d ever actually see or hear or whatever. Incoqnekro – Incoqnekromicon (2006). I read about this years ago on the Black Lips’ Wikipedia page, but either it wasn’t linked there before or I’m just a fool. But former Black Lip Joe Bradley apparently produced this Atlanta Hip Hop album and lent his own raps in the mix too! As one G. Gordon Gritty also noted, it sounds like proto 200 Million Thousand (2009) for you Lips fans out there! Give it a listen here. Solid, fun rap album! And pretty damn obscure. I can’t find it from a Google search and can’t find much on it beyond a Myspace page via wayback machine. https://incoqnekro.bandcamp.com/album/incoqnekronomicon

I keep saying each month I’ll listen to more new (both actual new and older music I have never heard before) shit and I never meet my intentions! Ohh well! This was my best effort. Several of these bands I’ve listened to many times, but I either don’t recall listening to the recordings here or I never heard them before! Lot of good shit, but I can’t pinpoint a favorite. Frankly much of it I have a hard time remembering, because it’s so much. Anyway, cheers to October… – Chris
