Punk Rock Monday

This is two weeks running that lex has inspired a PRM, this time with a reminder at his place about how totally and completely awesome the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are. I’ve heard kicked around “best live band ever,” and from my own experiences seeing them in Tampa in the mid-90s, those claims have merit. The blues are certainly a reference point for these guys, but don’t let the name fool you. The Blues Explosion is punk as fuck.

“Wail” from 1996


“High Gear” and “Talk About the Blues”


And I don’t usually post videos, but since this song is so badass, I’ll make an exception: “Afro”
