It’s a testament to the quality of 2024 new music that even in December The Ledge’s monthly new release series is again a two-part extravaganza. Tonight’s part one features the usual new tunes by “friends” of the show, along with great punk, garage, indie, and Americana from artists both new and old.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year" some might say and I agree! If for no other reason that it's perfectly legit to drink glögg in this part of the world and because I generally post my top ten countdown of the best albums released in the year that has (soon) gone by. With a bit of luck, YOUR favorite record made the cut.
Given that it’s Thanksgiving weekend, I thought it was high time to have a show consisiting of nothing but tracks from albums that I’ve been playing around the house. Yeah, not exactly a novel idea, but it’s a great soundtrack for a weekend of record shopping, partying, or even putting up the dreaded holiday decorations. (Ok, probably best for the partying category.)
Sure, it’s nothing but old material but it’s not the type of old material you normally hear. There’s classic garage rock from 60s legends such as The Sonics and The Who. There’s edgy singer/songwriter tunes from Jesse Malin and Graham Parker. There’s a whole set devoted to highlights from the ill-fated Sex Pistols film, The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. Naturally, there’s all kinds of material from the much-lauded “Hudson Basement Excavation Project”.
The special folder on my hard drive was full, so it was once again time to have a show devoted to cover songs. This time around there are fantastic remakes of songs by the likes of the Stones, Pink Floyd, Small Face, Pretty Things, The Cure, Joy Division, and tons of others.
Most importantly, there’s a generous helping of Jesse Malin covers from the new triple album benefit album, Silver Patron Saints. Two years ago, Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke, and his friends gathered together for this wonderful set of Malin’s own tunes. It’s a rare tribute album that stands proudly with the original versions, and this is one of them.
Fall is the time for the record industry to unleash a torrent of reissues, box sets, live albums, and all kinds of other sorts of vault releases. Yes, it’s admittedly a bit of a chase for easy cash, but as a collector I love it. Give me that compilation of pre-Velvet Underground songs Lou Reed wrote as a songwriter for Pickwick Records. Give me those box sets versons of my favorite records featuring demos and live tracks. Give me straight ahead compilatons and live albums. Give me all of this stuff!
If you are anything like me, you’ll love this overview of those sorts of releases. And yes, there is one track here that doesn’t really fit the format…yet it sort of does. I recently picked up Never Understood: The Jesus and Mary Chain, the memoirs of J&MC brothers Jim and William Reid, and I was intrigued to find out that a few years after the band broke up they both helped out their sister, Linda, in a musical project called Sister Vanilla. Yes, you can certainly tell that she learned a lot from her big brothers. This needs to also be reissued!
On this episode TJ Montreal´s Quill Driver calls in to talk about the newly set up "SAFE TJ" movement, and explains why Turbojugend is offering a Safe Harbor for Sailorettes and Sailors in situations when harassment and uneasy moments are developing. TJ Radio also discusses why and how situations seem to get out of hand at times and why TJ SAFE is offering a solution where local presidents and Jugends don´t seem to get a hand on a situation.
November 13, 2024. Tommy Unit LIVE!! #619– Tonight…all turbo rock’n’roll in honor of Salcedo Dave. We’re LIVE every Wednesday night at 10pm ET / 7:00pm PT on REAL PUNK RADIO – Radio Done Right!
So here we go with the second half of this month’s set of new tunes. This time around we have the usual set of fabulous releses from our friends at Rum Bar Records, along with the returns of old faves such as The Lemonheads, Julian Cope, Chesterfield Kings, and Japandroids. Plus some new (to me at least) bands such as The Deflators, Tuxedo Cats, and The Zack Static Sect. And there’s also a set devoted to some favorite bands that are featured on the Cardinals At The Window charity comp!
From angry political punk rock and hardcore to power pop and new releases from Street Sweeper and Manchild, plus a chance to win the new Mesa Lanes LP, “Chainsaw Lullabies,” and more.
A bunch of the good stuff, waited to long to post it up to remember much more about this one.
Go git it.

Heading into a chilly November (in this part of the world at least) so best to keep warm moving about to nearly 39 minutes of great toe-tappers! That's my prescription and you should always follow the dj's order.
Once again, the monthly new release episode is expanded to a two part extravaganza! This week’s show is split between “friends of the show” and long time veterans of the business. The “friends” sections include hometown heroes (Off Contact), a fellow Real Punk Radio personality (Intrusive Thoughts vocalist Greg “Rock ‘n’ Roll Manifesto” Lonesome), a couple of Big Stir Records new tunes, and quite a few email submissions.
As for the “veterans”, it’s amazing how much material some of these artists have put out over the years. The new one by Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly is his 29th abum. The Fleshtones have probably put out an equal amount of material. Only Ones leader Peter Perrett is back with a new album, and the Pixies, The Effigies, Nick Piunti, and others have a lengthy discography. Plus, we have the monthly new freebies by Friends of Cesar Romero and Vista Blue!
The annual Halloween show is yet another Ledge tradition. Every year I gather up whatever new scary tunes have been released, and fill up whatever time is left with tracks I call “new to me”. Thanks to a plethora of subissions this year, I didn’t have to do a lot of searching. It’s great that so many artists, labels, and/or PR companies think that this show is a worthwhile outlet to get the word out about new releases!
October 23rd, 2024. Tommy Unit LIVE!! #618- Tonight…the count rises from the grave a week early to plug your earholes with another killer Halloween Spooktacular!!! Turn it up! We go DEAD!! every Wednesday night at 10pm ET / 7:00pm PT on REAL PUNK RADIO – Radio Done Right!
Ass we mourn Hank´s passing on November 19th 2021, Turbojugend Radio´s Audio Slave#3 from Singapoore and Tschebesta peek in the rearview mirror and disect Hank von Hell´s first album EGOMANIA. Ass we analyse all of the tracks we surely didn´t forget to rate the album with Chris Crusoe´s infamous Deathpunk index: Sexy/Dangerous/Funny - which should be the common practise. True Turbo magic happening here.
October 16th, 2024. Tommy Unit LIVE!! #617– Tonight…we promoted a couple of local shows, scoped out the Action Rock Jukebox 45 Series, Vol. 1 compilation, and a whole lotta Detroit!! Turn it up! We go LIVE!! every Wednesday night at 10pm ET / 7:00pm PT on REAL PUNK RADIO – Radio Done Right!
If you follow me on the various social media platforms (paulisded) you’ve probably seen a variety of pictures with the tagline “The Hudson Basement Excavaton Project”. A little explanation is needed. Decades ago, my son needed a rack to store his records as he had followed in the old man’s footsteps and put together his own sizable library. As I did not at that point even own a turntable, my records were all boxed up and stored in the basement.
A few years later, home renovatons meant that these boxes were joined by more boxes of CD’s, books, magazines, and other junk that needed to be moved out of the way of new carpet and paint. The original boxes of records were now buried. When I returned to vinyl a decade ago, I had a feeling that somewhere there just had to be a bunch of albums. I mean, come on. I would never sell or give away Replacements records, right?
This feeling carried on whenever I saw a good stash of used records at local stores, or when a classic album was reissued. There just has to be records somehwere/anywhere! I would take tentative searches while doing laundry from time to time, but just a few weeks ago I hit the jackpot. I found some good ol’ Taco Bell shredded lettuce boxes. You may laugh at that, but those were the perfect boxes to store records. And sure enough, as I moved other boxes around, and squeezed in between other barriers (old lawn furniture, etc.) it was indeed what I’ve been looking for. One great box of vinyl, with another couple right next to it. A few weeks later there was another discovery!
So tonight’s show is all about some of the gems discovered during this process. Some are quite rare. Others could be pretty easily found in most good used stores. But it’ sover two hours of fantastic old faves from the 70s, 80s, and even a couple from the 90s!
October 9th, 2024. Tommy Unit LIVE!! #616– Tonight…we promoted three upcoming Brooklyn shows and shit-ton of month-old tunes from Slovenly Recordings! Turn it up! We go LIVE!! every Wednesday night at 10pm ET / 7:00pm PT on REAL PUNK RADIO – Radio Done Right!
By now, most of you know the routine. The first episode of every month features nothing but new releases, and this month is no different. Wait, there is one major difference. Due to a scheduling conflict, there will not be a show next week so for the first time this year there is not a two part new release series.
So this month there is one super action-packed episode, full of the usual garage, punk, indie, post-punk, Americana, and whatever other category is out there. There are the usual veterans mixed with brand new acts. There are “friends” of the show, such as Jeremy Porter & The Tucos, who have a fabulous new album called Dynamite Alley. Of course, there’s also a set devoted to our buddies at Rum Bar Records, but there’s another blistering set devoted to new tunes from Slovenly Recordings!
Reading Kathleen Hanna's "Rebel Girl" at the moment, a book I highly recommend. No Bikini Kill or Le Tigre on the playlist this time around, but I can still promise a thoroughly enjoyable mix of punk, hard rock, thrash, garage, rap and alternative.
The end of September also means it’s the end of the third quarter of the year, so tonight’s show celebrates the great music that has come out these last three months. There’s a little something for everyone tonight, from the melodic goth tones of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to savage garage punk from The Putz and Stiff Richards. There are veteran bands that have been around for 45-50 years (The Dictators, Nervous Eaters), along with a ton of new blood. There’s friends of the show (Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin, Tamar Berk) next to a plethora of artists I wish were my friends.
I also begin the festivities with a very personal story, and I would like to thank those that have reached out to offer me encouragement. It’s very appreciated and brings a smile to this old curmudgeon.
September 25th, 2024. Tommy Unit LIVE!! #615– Tonight…we promoted four upcoming shows!

Part two of this month’s new release series is highlighted by long-awaited returns by legendary veteran bands. The Dictators celebrate their 50th anniversary with their first album in 25 years. The Fastbacks are back after a 23 year hiatus. Peter Noone of 60’s pop idiols Herman’s Hermits is back with vocal contributions to a Buffalo Springfield-Rolling Stones hybrid cover created by The Weeklings. Other veteran artists with new tunes include Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Jon Spencer.
There’s also a plethora of brand new tunes from our friends at Rum Bar Records, including the kickoff of a new monthly singles campaign by The Dogmatics. There’s hot new singles from Rum Bar regulars The Laissez Fairs, Cheap Cassettes, along with Junior Varsit, Joe Jennings MVP’s, and a Dogmatics side project called Hotbox.
Besides all of those hot acts, there’s a ton of female voices heard on this episode. Cherrie Currie collaborates with the Dead Boys on a “believe it or not” cover of Taylor Swift. Lura Jane Grace is back with a wondefully angry new EP. There’s also new music by The Bell Rays, The Dahlmanns, Vicious Dreams, and many others!
Trying to ease our rattled souls into fall, TJ Radio´s Tschebesta sat down with Kevin von Helvete and shot the breeze about all things Turbojugend, WTJT 24, snow chains on wheelchairs, Herbert´s natural given authority - just a good ol´ conversation, ya know?

Slightly worse for wear after attending a silver wedding party last night. But I bet some tunes can get me back into the groove. On the playlist you'll find punk, alternative, death metal, rap, new wave, hard rock and a certain crooner turned actor. Enjoy!
1984 was a magical year for your favorite podcast host. It was my senior year of college, and I had worked my way up the ranks to be the music director of KAUR. This was the perfect gig for me, along with the record store job I had in my spare time.
Of course, gigs like this would mean little if the music business was in a bad way. But it wasn’t. It was one of the greatest years ever for the sort of material I loved. College rock was more popular than ever. British pop had moved away from the “New Romantics” garbage, and guitars were once again popular. Australia was again pumping out energetic rock and roll. And here in America, there was a grass roots movement that saw the beginnings of what would eventually become Americana, along with two labels, SST and Twin/Tone, that were regularly releasing classic records.
It’s a holiday weekend, so why not celebrate the material that changed my life 40 years ago? These are all records I loved then, and still love today!

Last week’s look at my personal home plays was so much that I carried it on this week. Once again, there were almost 60 years of rock and roll represented, from The Troggs and Small Faces to my favorite record of 2023, Scratch ‘N’ Sniff by The Whiffs. Full sets showcased the musical and personal relationship between married songwriters Amy Rigby and Wreckless Eric and the great reissue campaign of the vastly underrated Dead Moon.

If you follow me on the ol’ Instagram, you may have noticed that every Saturday night I post a collage of my Last.FM stats that, for the most part, highlights the vinyl I’ve played in my home over the past week. So I figured why not put together a broadcast featuring songs from those very albums I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of months?
Soon enough I had enough tracks for not one but two separate shows, so look for a sequel next week. This week’s show features almost 60 years of great rock and roll, from 60’s psych to 70s glam to late 70s punk, along with a couple of side trips to Americana and Minneapolis. This is certainly a glimpse into what fuels my existence on a daily basis!
What has become a little tradition, B. Engel and Tschebesta cuddle in their Queen Size bed and reflect on their painful experiences at this year´s WTJT.

The second part of the August new release series carries on right where last week’s part one left off. There’s still plenty of great rock, punk, power pop, postpunk, and many other genres of fantastic brand new tunes. There’s some fun stuff from our friends at Rum Bar Records. There’s the return of Hot Snakes/Rocket From the Crypt/Drive Like Jehu leader Swami John Reis. There’s tracks from a fantastic compilaton of Danish punk from the late 70’s. And there’s also the weirdness of Cleopatra Records’ new punk rock Rolling Stones tribute.
Along with these releases are the usual mix of both veteran and brand new artists! Also, please head to YouTube and subscribe to our channel – Public Domain Classics 888. We have close to 500 classic films from over 110 years of releases!
We may be heading to the end of summer but it’s not the end of great music. Once again, the new release episode for this month has been expanded into a two part extravaganza. Tonight’s first part features a number of “friends of the show”, including monthly singles by White Rose Motor Oil and Rob Moss & Skin-Tight Skin. There Realpunkradio’s Greg Lonesome with his Intrusive Thoughts project, a teaser from Tamar Berk’s upcoming record, a couple of new tracks from Big Stir Records, and plenty of others that so graciously keep me on their mailing list!
Of course, that’s not all. We have the return of X with reportedly their final album. There’s the first new Kaisers album in 246 months! Jack White is also represented with his surprise new release that I’m not afraid to say is his best music since the demise of The White Stripes. Plus so much more!
Along with these releases are the usual mix of punk, garage, power pop, and much more! Also, please head to YouTube and subscribe to our channel – Public Domain Classics 888. We have close to 500 classic films from over 110 years of releases!
Back at work after a pretty uneventful vacation. I've traded in some crappy music (collecting dust on my shelves) in exchange for excellent stuff at a couple of local record stores recently and that's always a hoot. On the playlist you'll find some punk, stoner rock, alternative, hip-hop, hard rock death metal and r'n'b (the fifties kind). Enjoy!

It’s that time again. The “Covers” folder on my laptop is full, so it’s time to turn those into a Ledge episode. But it’s not just new releases this time around. Oh sure, we’ve got new remakes by The Half-Cubes (Phil Seymour), Wyldlife (Tom Petty), The Loons (Pretty Things), and so much more. There are also sets devoted to new tribute records devoted to Jagger/Richards and Guided By Voices, along with a pair of tracks from a new covers album by The Raveonettes. Most importantly, I have another new verson of ‘Teenage Kicks”! This time it’s by the triumphant return of Lone Justice!
I was also inspired by some old finds. A nice find in the used bin at the record store resulted in the Troggs cover by Buzzcocks. Watching a documentary on Tubi regarding the fabulous 90s power pop band Material Issue (Out of Time: The Material Issue Story) found me searching out a couple of fantastic rare remakes. Doing a deep dive on the super lengthy discography of South Dakota’s own Friends of Cesar Romero led to a discover of a Cheap Trick tribute spinoff called Chief Trick. All of these, and more, are represented on tonight’s show!

The second episode of this month’s new release series focuses heavily on single releases. I’m talking the traditional sort of single, with an a-side and b-side. Not the modern streaming-era lone song that doesn’t even necessarily promote an upcoming album.
Nope, this week we have quite a few two (or more) track singles, and the majority of them are available on traditional 7″ vinyl. There’s a split single feauring two tracks from The Drolls and Gentlemen Rogues. There’s an all-covers “supergroup” that sees members of the U.K. Subs and The Dead Boys covering a trio of 60’s classics. There’s fabulous punky garage-rock from The Legendary Swagger. You also get to hear the first new tunes in four years from Wyldlife. And you also get a trio of releases from a fantastic label called I-94 Recordings. Their series of releases features a brand new A-side, along wiht a cover of a Detroit artist on the flip. This is a perfect format for fans of The Sleeveens, Pat Todd & The Rankoutsiders, and Norcos Y Horchata.
Along with these releases are the usual mix of punk, garage, power pop, and much more! Also, please head to YouTube and subscribe to our channel – Public Domain Classics 888. We have close to 450 classic films from over 110 years of releases!

When it comes to going big, Turbojugends of Sweden sure know how to set the stage. Have you ever seen a TJ celebrating its 25 year anniversary with a Turbonegro tribute on vinyl? An own coffee table patch-book? A kick arse party with 7 bands? Well, here you go.
