johncomicDay 7: A song that makes you feel energized
Nelson's Blood by The Bang-Bang
There are tons of great ones I could have picked, but once again decided to give a bit more exposure to the relatively obscure.
The Bang-Bang are a fictional band in the film Brothers of the Head, a mockumentary about the "true" forgotten founders of punk rock. I ended up loving the movie more than I expected to, and was particularly smitten by the music in it. The songs were written by Clive Langer, who was active in the British music scene at the time the movie was set, when pub rock was morphing into punk -- therefore, a real musician who knew and understood the era from experience, and this authenticity comes out in the material. I also dig that the actors perform their own vocals -- for me, it always gives something extra to a film when the actors portraying musicians actually perform their own music. [Still Crazy is another great example of this, where the actors both sing and play.] In Brothers, the band Crackout play most of the musicians in The Bang-Bang, and I enjoy their performances so much that I was led to discover their own albums, which I also quite enjoy. A movie full of riches.
