D-A-D - No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims


Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record of the Week".

This week we turn back the time and pick a favorit from the pile of records that I have listen to a lot during my life time as a human being and as a rocker :)

"No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims" is the 3rd full-length studio album by Danish hard rock act D-A-D, or DISNEYLAND AFTER DARK, as they were called before Walt put his foot down. The album was released on March 3, 1989. "No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims" was a big breakthrough for the band and sold really well. In their native Denmark alone the album has sold around 275,000 copies. A pretty good sales statistic in a country with a population of only 5 million people. But the album did well in both Asia and Europe too. The big American breakthrough never really came though.



The album´s success was helped along by the very popular single track "Sleeping My Day Away", which also opens the album, but there are several other D-A-D "classics" on "No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims" like "Jihad", "Rim of Hell", "Point Of View", "ZCMI", "Siamese Twin" and "Girl Nation". All the tunes are performed with the typical D-A-D trademark "tongue in cheek" humourous. Almost all of the tunes are built around the vers/chorus with a hook that is easy to remember. "No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims" is a pretty consistent high quality release that you should not oversee and make sure you get it to your collection as in my words is a mandatory release to have.




Today's tune "Girl Nation" is taken from this week's Record Of The Week, enjoy!

Sponge - Plowed


Sunday, time for a classic.

"Plowed" is a song by American alternative rock band SPONGE. The song was released as the second single from the group's debut studio album "Rotting Piñata". "Plowed" was also featured on the band's compilation albums "Molly and Hits & B Sides Volume One".


The song was featured in the 1995 film "Empire Records", but was not present on the film's soundtrack. The song was also featured in the 1998 film "No Looking Back". In 2007, the song was featured in the Cold Case episode "Stand Up and Holler" (season 4, episode 20).

“Plowed” continues to be the band’s signature rock track, having been spotlighted on Guitar Hero’s “Warriors of Rock – 90’s Rock Track Pack” – and on the Paper Jamz Guitar Series 2, in addition to the soundtrack for the Gerard Butler surf movie “Chasing Mavericks.”

The melodic hardcore/metalcore band EVERGREEN TERRACE covered the song in 2004 for their album "Writer's Block".



SPONGE is an American alternative rock band from Detroit, Michigan formed in 1991 by Vinnie Dombroski, Mike Cross, Tim Cross, and Joey Mazzola. All were formerly of the hard rock band LOUDHOUSE. SPONGE was signed to Sony Records in 1994 but have since switched to other labels.

The band recruited Jimmy Paluzzi on drums to round out the lineup. Their debut album, "Rotting Piñata", released in 1994, was a major hit, received heavy play on radio and MTV, and was certified gold by the RIAA. The two biggest singles from that album were "Plowed" and "Molly" but by the end of 1994 Charlie Grover replaced drummer Paluzzi. Their follow-up album was called Wax Ecstatic; the track "Have You Seen Mary" was included in the Kevin Smith film Chasing Amy.

Clawfinger - Save Our Souls


After more than four years of silence they are back with a new single!

They are something like the Crossover Rock scene ´s hit smithy and are a legend already. During the 90es they not only had worldwide hits with songs such as "Nigger", "The Truth" or "Do What I Say", they have also been a social critical voice of what was moving society and have been talking what a full generation has thought: CLAWFINGER have been pioneers to the Crossover scene and have been considered as Europe ´s answer to RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

After a few years of silence around CLAWFINGER, the Scandiavians are now back with a new single and in exactly the strength and eloquent power that has always been standing for them: "Save Our Souls" is the title of the new single being released on 4th August. Again the band finds clear words on it: "The song is about how trumpism turnst he world into a cesspool full of fucking heartless piss", the band says. They find clear words against the neo-nationalistic govering of US president Donald Trump. "How can someone put a logic on certain ethnics, religions or sexes having certain traits of character and how can someone blame them for the world going wrong? How regressive and ridiculous ist hat? There are idiots in all shapes and colours, same as heroes, and if we aren ´t standing together, the world will be fucked".

With their single CLAWFINGER find a clear and loud statement after their four years´ break in which the musicians have been taking care of their families and their lifes beside music. "CLAWFINGER no longer is our main job. We all have other jobs and families to love..."

CLAWFINGER have played more than 1000 shows until now and they have released seven albums. "Save Our Souls" is available in all common download shops.
