First up are the wonderful Calvin Party - long time noiseniks from from the north-west of England, who now feature Cathy Brooks, ex of Dub Sex, on bass. Here's 'Lies, Lies and Government', which came out on a split single with Dumb a few years back. On vinyl its a corsucating splash of energy, but live its better than ever.
Second are a band from Grimsby that weren't completely shit, and that made a change. Neave vs the Jazz Cigarettes might have had a terrible name, but, led by arch-miserabilist Tim Neave they made some beautiful music.
You can listen to Tim Neave rattling on in a lovely, broad Grimsby accent on 'Neave Addresses the People' here.
Remember: there are always people more miserable than you this Christmas.

That's the Other Grimsby Accent, isn't it? The educated one. He sounds like John Tondeur.
Ha! You're right.
Although in another song of theirs he does a fine 'caaaaaaarrrr paaaaarrrrk.'
