CATTY VS.NHAMPTON

[rhyspw14]

Great song , i loved them early on but their late stuff wasnt very good .

[BebeLush2]

This band was so underrated and original although a lot of influences here and there they still should've been a huge band. Graveyard rodeo was another band that would've been huge. A tragic waste of talent. New orleans bands had there own sound. LA AND DC AND NEW YORK? What the fuck? nEW ORLEANS BANDS HAD SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO OFFER, ORIGINALITY.

[ColKorn1965]

I remember seeing these guys when they were rockers and not pussies(1981)

[newtonnola]

Who ever turned these guys into a new romantic band should be shot. This is a great song and nice with Jeff on the drums.

[ShadowWanderer1]

wow CLASSIC!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tominal1]

JTG always looked just plain silly holding a rifle--let's face it. Lover/not a fighter.

[jevation]

@tominal1 haha, who's he gonna shoot, the cameraman? haha, that was indeed silly!

[fletcher70]

red rockers-condition red....one of the top punk albums ever...the comparisons to the clash are none...red rockers were good

[19NORGE78]

Is that the Texas A&M building?

[alexissod]

fantastic!great 80s punk rock!

[RasGavin]

I saw Red Rockers in Boston in 1981 when they were touring in support of Condition Red. They were a great live band but they certainly weren't as good as the Clash, X, Gang of Four or the other top tier punk related bands of the era. They were from New Orleans. Condition Red was a pretty good album but their second album was complete garbage and they sounded like those foppish Brit synth bands with funny haircuts. To their credit: I saw stage diving for the first time at their show.

[mobstar1967]

condition red is probably the best american punk album of all time..or at least in the top 5

[Serenberg]

DEAD BOYS RAMONES DICKIES STOOGES MC5 AND ZEROS AND i LIKE THE RED ROCKERS TOO. TO BAD THERE 2ND ALBUM WAS SOOOO DISAPPOINTING.

[AliAssaSeen]

Awesome add...met them once and they be cool

[PartyBoy64]

They really copied the clash, like alot.

Very cheesy video too.

It's like a bunch of 12 year old kids with video camera's made this

[snottyignorant]

their early stuff was more punk sounding and more revolution/political stuff but then they started writing and singing crappy 80's pop songs and now they blow just victims of the corporate record companies

[jkthemod]

Decades later... nothing has changed. The youth are bored and calling for change, the "revolution" that we sought- never came, and the need to rebel, to insight change... has been squashed by "the Man". Initially... this band (and many others) had some interesting ideas... but the "system" is SO intrenched, so "protected", that most (including me) eventually surrender. This is a cool post, a look back at a time and attitude that may be missing now.

[externalmenace]

This is awesome! Now where is Teenage Underground and Peer Pressure etc

[Raydeeds]

I just really like that China song. These guys might be one hit wonders, but at least they hit the gong once in their lives. As for this silly revolution song, I'll bet even they are like, "don't remind me..."

[BlueShark45]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's I was always a hard rocker-Black Sabbath,Scorpians,Judas Priest in the 70's then heavier stuff in the 80's.I was never a punk fan and had not heard much other than the Sex Pistols and the Clash but when I heard this on the radio I bought it that day.

Thanks so much for posting this,it brings back good memories.I bought it for thier heavy sound and catchy tunes.

[Raydeeds]

Ooooh, I'm so scared. Typical little left wing poseurs. Twits.

[PKPurvis]

Regarding the Nazi crap you added to your favorites one should rather be scared of people like you.

[verlaines]

Why do you have them on your favorites list?

[azrisyafiq]

this band really2 kick ass! reminds me of the clash..early punks like the clash,red rockers,sex pistols,black flag,the ramones,misfits,the adicts,discharge creates kick ass punk bands nowadays like the casualties,the unseen,anti-flag and more...

[lakeviewviking]

Check out the Normals; they where also from new orleans, but pre-dated the Red Rockers, and were a better band, IMO...there's alot of 70s footage of them up on youtube.

[Gravedigger67]

This is damn cool. "Condition Red" is one of

the best U.S. Punk Albums. Coming from Germany

and being a bit to young I never had the

chance to see R.R. in action.

[finalgoon]

Thanks cool post

[rjbeaubien]

Wow too cool!!! Thanks a bunch for posting this.Have not seen this for 20 years. The entire album that this song was on Condition Red stands the test of time. I still play it and it never gets old or boring.Thanks fabola:)

[theonlytruepunk]

Holy shit! When did this get put up??? Thanks. This record was incredible.

[djgrice85]

this is the 1st time ive heard em and they sound good kinda reminds a bit of the clash

[iKaldi]

Damn this makes me feel old. I used to go see RR 2-3 times a week back in the day. Where does the time go?

[Rhenoism]

Anybody got any Schizophrenic Circus out there? I used to listen to Just Like You. These guys are an underrated 80s band. I saw them live in 1984 at James Madison University (opened for the Go-Gos), and I nearly lost my hearing that night they were so fucking loud.
