No, but Tom Hanks has bought the rights to the story of his life.
I've got plenty of his music if you want it email-to-email.

The original version is damned good, the 'uptempo' version, superb... red when red was real.

I've got a "Strikermaster" LP here, they were a Wellington heavy rock band from around 1980. I saw them "live" at the Taita pub and bought the LP at the show.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Im stuffed, because between Terminator X, El Grapadura, and The Jam almost all obscure Punk and Grindcore options , are likely covered.
Sofa Head from Sunderland in the early 90s might be a punt. Their pre-marital yodelling LP was incredible.
The Joyce McKinney Experience are another possibility - although I saw them twice I never got any of their vinyl, much to my regret.
Intense Degree - Skate Punk band who I don't think got beyond one LP release were pretty hard out
Jailell Recipes another skate punk band, scattered around Merseyside, probably ducked under most of your radars, as after the promise of their first LP I thought they went awol withtheir second.
Even though they produced one of the best ever Peel Sessions, the Electro Hippies might not have registered, they were pretty media shy (told NME to get f**ked when they jumped on the Britcore bandwagon in the late 80s), although they did get to release a fine LP so I guess that's pretty mainstream
Ludichrst - I consider the original hardcore/rap fusion (despite what people think about BeastieBoys Pollywog Stew 7") - their Green Eggs and Ham cover is absolutely incredible.
Cryptic Slaughter were an extreme punk band (from the states?) and I think they may only have had one release. From memory the first track was M.A.D, which I put on at a party (this was when my peers were listening to the Smiths thinking they were cool)- the light system that flashed in time to the beat went ballistic.
Happy Days.
On a crusty/dub groove Radical Dance Faction is another groovy act. Have no idea whether they went anywhere after their first release, but it's a goodie HarryHotspur2008-10-09 20:43:40

River City People.
I saw them at the Astoria in London back in 1990. Got one of their cd's (not sure how many they made) Some great tracks on there. They did a remake of California Dreamin which was a hit in the UK. Never made it over here.

There is a band that you may like el grap. Called.. Anal c**t.
Heavy metal, Highly offensive.. But their lyrics are like dead baby jokes. So wrong, but strangely funny.

Yep, have heard some of their stuff. Not inspiring, but not too bad.

I think they only made 2 albums. they didn't seem to last very long.Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

One of the greatest band names ever though!
I once caught a taxi in America and the driver reckoned he used to run a club: "Yeah, I had all the greats play there... Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Anal C**t".
Still one of the coolest/funniest conversations I've ever had with a taxi driver.

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I remember seeing Radical Dance Faction and other crusty faves like Citizen Fish and Back to the Planet at the free festivals they used to have in Fordham Park in Deptford during the mid-nineties.
Those festivals were great as long as you didn't mind hanging out with all the gutter-punks who had crawled out of their squats for a free day out. Asian Dub Foundation headlined one year and just blew the place apart. What a great f**king band.
And after the festival you could stagger along to The Venue in New Cross and spend the rest of night drinking cheap lager, dancing to the latest indie tunes and watching Chavs smash each other in the face.

To be fair, I was taking a LOT of drugs back then.
I even went to an Ozric Tentacles/ Eat Static gig ffs!

That definitely would have required a lot of drugs.

China Drum
f**king great band from England who's only crime was to sound like a more polished, watered-down Leatherface (one of my all time faves). In fact, such was the mutual respect between the two groups that Leatherface covered their song "Meaning".
