Friday, November 3, 2023 5pm ET: Feature LP: The Particles - 1980s Bubblegum (2023)

The Particles name began in the mid to late 1970s and the original band, albeit a loose outfit was formed during the very earliest stages of the new Punk music that was sweeping Britain and Eastern USA at the time. News of this phenomenon spread quickly to Australia and within a few months there were bands forming in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The rawest examples of this were coming out of a…

The Particles - 1980s Bubblegum

Es muy probable que a muchos de vosotros y vosotras no os suene el nombre de The Particles. Yo mismo no los conocí hasta unos meses. Pero el caso es que está banda nacida en Sydney a finales de los setenta, y que se separó pocos años después, se convirtió en un grupo de culto para muchos amantes del pop.

As I was getting ready for bed last night, I saw an email from Chapter Music announcing the upcoming release of The Particles "1980s Bubblegum" (Sydney, Australia, late 1970s/early 1980s). The cover made me think of another Chapter release - Tangled Shoelaces. Regardless, I always am interested in anything Chapter (and Guy Blackman) have to offer.

I bought this sight unheard because the description used some magic words - Orange Juice, Television Personalities, and The Cannanes. Now that I'm listening to the two songs offered here (and a third - "Driving Me" - here on the compilation "I Won't Have to Think About You", released by A Colourful Storm), I would say this tends more to The Cannanes comparison. The trumpet and melodies remind me a bit of The June Brides.

Sweet vocals and upfront bass can recall any number of bands from Marine Girls to The Bats.

Hace unos días subía la espectacular “I Luv Trumpet” de The Particles, y hurgando en Spotify he dado con el recomendable recopilatorio repleto de rarezas “Can't Stop It! Australian Post-Punk 1978-82″, que incluye la única canción disponible de Particles en la polémica plataforma de streaming. “Apricot´s Dream”, no está mal pero las tienen mejores. La sorpresa viene al final con Right Arrow, Up Arrow, Right Arrow y la repetitiva y discontinua “One Note Song”. Entre Velvet Underground y Los Payasos de la Tele.
