Get Some Go Again

Staying with the punk theme in sorts, this post features one of the more outspoken frontmen of the genre. Henry Rollins is probably best known for his stint with Black Flag and his spoken word tours, but he had a band in between there. Rollins Band was a rock/blues band that had some minor hits along the way. The band started out in 87 and by 06 had gone through four different versions. 2000 saw the release of 'Get Some Go Again'. Rollins was backed by LA based band Mother Superior. The album spawned two songs that received rotation in 'Illumination' and 'Get Some Go Again'. The album features a Thin Lizzy cover in 'Are You Ready?' and actually features Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham on second guitar. This album has that hardcore vibe to it like so many of the great Black Flag records. Definitely a record to get some aggression out to.

I got into Rollins Band, via The Crow Soundtrack oddly enough. From there I got into Rollins spoken word material and eventually into Black Flag. Rollins Band kinda left off where Black Flag did, but with added elements of blues and jazz, which gave it a different feel. There were some great albums released under the Rollins Band label, including this one and 'End Of Silence'. The band kinda get forgotten about at times, as most people tend to either love or hate Rollins in general. Still a great band that had some great songs.
