"Say What You Feel." Why it works. When to use it.
What do you do when a man acts in ways that hurt your feelings?
What do you do if his actions leave you feeling neglected or lonely, even when you are in a relationship? How do you communicate angry feelings constructively?
Many of the questions I receive from women around the world have a common theme. A man is not giving as much as he could in the relationship and they ask me what to do.
Here's my advice in a nutshell.
You should tell him what you feel. But there is a specific way to do this correctly.
Done correctly, an open verbal expression of your feelings (without blame) can simultaneously spur him to action, raise your own self-esteem, and increase his feelings of attraction toward you.
Let's discuss how it's done.
There are two critical factors you must keep in mind. The two factors are his emotional reactions and your emotional reactions. These are the only real barriers to complete honesty.
Honesty is what we need, but we all know someone who is a little too honest, lacking emotional sensitivity in the way they express their thoughts and feelings. You don't want to be that person.
So how do you find the balance between honesty and sensitivity?
No two situations are exactly alike, but I recommend you stick to this basic formula. Focus on describing your sad or hurt feelings while minimizing or completely leaving out the various ways he caused you to feel that way. Be completely honest about the emotions you are experiencing.
He will either guess why you feel hurt, sad, or angry, or he will ask you why you feel hurt, angry, or sad. Either way, try to keep the focus of discussion on your feelings, as if you are leaving it up to him to figure out what he needs to do about it. It's okay to say a sentence or two about the disappointed hopes or unmet expectations behind your feelings, but do not get into accusations or even a discussion of what he did wrong.
You are not responsible for correcting his course of action. That's his job. If he values his relationship with you, he will work hard to figure out how he blew it with you. There is a certain level of self-esteem and self-respect that comes from owning our own feelings but not begging or pleading for someone else to change the way they are impacting our feelings. He will realize you are independent and in control of yourself. He will realize he needs to change his own behavior quick if he wants to keep you.
This works so much better than focusing on what he did wrong. The knee-jerk human reaction to accusations and blame is defensiveness. When someone doesn't seem to be on the attack, defensiveness goes down. What's more, it puts him in a position where he is actually seeking information about how he can improve. Instead of you shoving the information down his throat in a way that makes him feel angry or defensive, you simply state your feelings as feedback he needs to be aware of regarding the outcomes of his actions (or inactions).
I know this can be difficult. Our emotions make it easy to slip over that edge and really let him have it once we breach a topic that has been bothering us. I only ask you to strive for implementing this formula. Don't try to be perfect.
So the next time you find yourself wondering what you should do when he lets you down, think about the underlying emotion you are experiencing. Take the focus off of his actions. Instead, focus on gently but honestly and openly expressing how you feel.
Don't play games or act mysterious. That will drive a man crazy. You are going to avoid direct questions if he asks you why you feel sad. You will answer his question with a factual statement about how you felt when he did such and such an action. I'll give you an example in a minute.
Your response to a direct question must be spoken softly, with appropriate eye contact and absolutely no vengeful or bitter anger. Remember, you want to attract him with your strong self-esteem. People with good self-esteem do not express themselves with hate or vengeful anger. When he feels attracted to you, he will want to do what he can to win your love and keep you.
Notice that in this example, Teresa told the honest truth while focusing on her own thoughts, expectations, and resulting feelings. She did not say things about how rude and insensitive he was. She did not say something like, "I mean, come on! An hour late? That's ridiculous!" That kind of response would just bring up his defensiveness and lead to arguments that make you both feel worse.
When you openly express your own emotions, and leave out the accusatory remarks, you are inviting him to make amends. You are simultaneously acting in a way that will cause him to respect you more and feel more attracted to you. Essentially, this formula is designed to bring out the best in the man you are with.
This formula will be somewhat helpful no matter what, but to supercharge the effect; you need to use it in combination with the respect principle. If you have not already implemented that set of irresistible male attraction triggers, learn more about it here.

I really liked this post and wanted to share some of my story.
Few weeks ago my guy and I went camping in France. It was a really hot day and we didn't get much sleep so he was not in such good mood apparently.
Back from the beach we were putting the stuff back in the car and it didn't go so smoothly when I tried to pack up the sun screen. He ended up making an unfriendly comment 'she can't do anything right'.
Mostly when something got lost or is broken or goes wrong, there are always comments blaming me. It is a less sympathetic and insensitive side of him.
I mostly just try to ignore it but that day this comment felt like the final straw and it made me feel so sad and unworthy. I went cold and closed up all night until bedtime where I started crying and probably being angry with myself for tolerating such unkind comments. It was a very deep cry and release of all my hidden sadness and resentment towards him.
When he came to bed he asked me if I needed some water and noticed the crack in my voice so asked me if I had been crying and if something was wrong. I felt extremely vulnerable since I almost never, ever tell him how I really feel since I don't feel that he hears or appreciates or even what gets what I say. But I was in this place of ultimate honesty and vulnerability and told him I felt so sad because of his comment.
I felt heard finally, I felt his heart open and wrap it around me to protect me. He hugged me so tightly and I really felt how much he regretted having me feeling that way because of his stupid comment.
Gosh! It is sooo important to always be honest about how you feel, no matter how uncomfortable it may seem or how afraid you might feel. Playing games or hiding away never works on the long term.
You are so right! It is very important to be honest with your partner about how you're feeling and it can also be scary.
I'm proud of you for standing up and letting him know how his words were making you feel.
Hi James, thanks so much for the information today and yesterday. It really helped me to sort through some issues that I was having with some one as well as myself. When I first met the guy who I came to really really like and then I found out he was married. So I had to deal with all of these issues because I chose not to continue with this relationship. It is painful I am usually somebody who likes to please everybody esp. him.
It has been a learning experience for me and has caused me to grow. Thanks for your insight and helping me and others to grow and lean the art of communication with the male specie.
I'm in a relationship with this man. For the past two month He left for NY for a 2months visit.I knew he was expected to travel ,what I didn't know was the exact date . we spoke the Thursday night before bed like we always do. I called him at Friday midday only to be told I left ,I'm on my way to NY.
Before he left, we had ta!k about being in contact daily. Now he's there I hardly hear from him.I have decided to stop messaging or calling. He have not tried to contact me either. Its been a week since I last heard from him.
At this point what should I do? I'm feeling used and neglected.
Hi, not sure if you will reply, but I would love it if you did. My bf was so sweet when we met and used to say the most romantic things. We've been LD for about 4 months, but he should be back next month. He doesn't say anything anymore and when I got emotional before he left, he didn't respond well, so now I just bring things up almost as a joke. He's not changing and I'm feeling more anxiety and lonely. I try so hard to show and tell him how much he means to me. How do I get that across to him in language he can understand? That I need more romance and affection and consistent texting. Thanks.
Hey Brianna. It sounds like you really like this guy! So I can understand why you want to give the relationship some time to grow despite the fact that he's not really meeting your emotional needs. He's essentially leaving you feeling lonely even though you're in a relationship. That's not good, so I applied you for doing something about it.
How certain are you that he knows exactly what you need in order to feel happy during this long distance period of your relationship?
I mean, you explained it very clearly here. I wonder if he was to somehow read this message from you whether a lightbulb would suddenly go on in his head. If not, there's a deeper issue. But if it's simply a matter of ignorance (meaning he really does want to love you and make you feel loved) then the topic of my blog post (and its conclusions) probably do apply fairly well in a situation like this.
He's not even aware. I brought it up a few times as a joke, like where's the guy who made romantic comments, but that's it. I just am confused why he was like that so much in the beginning and now, nothing. I definitely have to speak to him this weekend when he's here just for a few hours. Thanks!!!
Hi Julia. In my experience, the question "where do things stand?" needs to be based on what's actually happening rather than what people say.
Without asking him anything, and without having "the talk," how would you answer this question: Based on the relationship we currently have (when considering actions rather than words) what kind of relationship can I conclude we have at this time?
How can you tell him what you feel about something he did without placing yourself in "victim mode"?
For instance if my boyfriend is reluctant to tell his family about me and it makes me feel that I am not "good enough".
Even if I know the real reason has nothing to do with how good I am. It is that he has always been judged and critized by his family and doesn't want to upset them or become critized because he broke up with his long time girlfriend (that they are found of) and become together with me.
Thank you very much, James, that makes sense!
Hi Lena, I know James responded to you with some sound advice.
I've been in your position, I'm also much more assertive than my boyfriend, and it really got me upset when I felt he didn't "stand up" for or "defend" my honor. Which meant when we in this sort of situation, I was stressed, which he felt. I shutdown when I'm like this, which makes me look stern and very unapproachable.
This made him more wary and cautious, which then would set my teeth on edge! Leading to conflict that had nothing to do with what really was the issue.
By me perceiving that he was not acting for us, I felt unimportant, lower than an earthworm, unloved, churlish, hurt, angry and frustrated.
I'll share something that works for me. I turn the situation around.
You're wanting your boyfriend's reassurance and acknowledgement of your place in his life – not his family. But still want them to like you.
Just as he wants your approval and needs to know you're happy with him.
With love and positive intent (it can be difficult to feel this), wrap him in a hug – " I would like your family's like and approval, I am nervous that they won't. I'm going to need your help to give me a glowing recommendation, so that I can gush about what a wonderful man they've gifted me with. What do you think? Too much? Yes, no?
This helps you become a united force, you can laugh about it, it relaxes the situation. Like James says, when you focus on what you want to feel and express those positive feelings rather than what you don't want to feel, your result is a lot more desirable.
If you sense your boyfriend's discomfort or nervousness, stand by his side, silently hold his hand. This type of action will speak volumes of your character and feelings for him. He will feel it, they will see it.
You may not have any control over how other's feel, but you do have a choice to bring out your sunny, positive side.
Thank you very much, Colleen, you put James' advice into practise. Very helpful and I can soo much relate to your emotions that shines through here!
I am so appreciative that you re-post these articles over periods of time. Thank you!
I noted with surprise that I commented on here several years ago. Your advice, and article was sound, but without fully understanding what I had to do, the advice did not resonate as soundly as it does now.
I've taken an amazing journey of self-growth and personal improvement since then.
We actually split up not too long after my comment to your article.
We're now back in each other's space. With much more wisdom, healthy interaction (to a point), and mutual respect.
I knew, as your article states, this is the way I need to get through to him, but needed some sort of kick in the right direction.
Keep those articles coming… they're much appreciated!
Thanks, Colleen. I'm glad you found inspiration from this article (twice!). I hope things go well for you as you begin the process of sharing a vision for a better relationship with him.
Hi! yes totally agree with this …My therapist taught me how to do this years ago BUT it doesn't work with someone who is emotionally unavailable and unhealthy….I like to believe their is good in people but this last guy I dated …after a month of dating he forgot about one of our dates.(Which I let him know that was NOT ok with me)..Which I don't understand how you just forget about something like that he was apologetic and said he wanted to make it up to me so he asked to take me to dinner my choice so i suggested the grove it's a beautiful outdoor shopping center that has a farmers market and he said to me i can't afford dinner there (NOT expensive at all by any means and this guy is 43) and then proceeded to say I HATE THE EFFIN GROVE that's how he texted me…and told me I was cheap for not wanting to split it him…after that I was… I don't deserve to be treated that way….and told him to forget it and blocked him….I was SO disappointed and why would someone be that horrid to another person…I just don't get it….I was in SHOCK and this happened very early on…good riddance i know. THX for the good advice.
Because I've purchased and read "How to make him Desire you" I tried this angle. I tried to establish a safe atmosphere for me and my new partner to discuss an challenge we are both facing. I gave him his space and time. I finally called…I had to. No answer. I sent a text so that he knew I had a couple good things to share with him. He said let's talk tomorrow, he was tired and had a headache. I sent an email sharing my thoughts and feelings and sharing my respect for him and our new beginnings acknowledging that we are two good people who do like each other who are going through a rough patch…hoping we could press the reset button, whatever that looks like. Note that the issue we are experiencing is predominantly his doing, however I've owned my part and instead of applying blame tried to work through this with him. Instead, he is behaving as if I'm the bad guy and witholding communication and distancing himself from the situation and the friendship. When "tomorrow" never came, ten minutes before this article came through I pressed the send button on a much different response to his absence and neglect. I blasted him! By this morning is when I received a response acknowledging that my feelings are hurt and that he will call me to discuss since that is "the appropriate thing to do"….It's awful that I could only get his attention when I unraveled on him and to accept his call at this point would be nothing more than patronizing. All this to say, I tried it both ways and regrettably I'm dealing with a person with avoidance issues and either way I feel I've lost him. Overall though James…thanks! It is good advice IF we're dealing with a mature person who can address grownup issues like grownups.
Sorry you are going through all that, Monique. It sounds like you have done your part. You can't create a good relationship without some help from the other person. Although you might get better results with the methods described in this article if you channel angry feelings in a way the other person is more likely to be able to hear without getting defensive.
We dated just for 3 times (before that he was showing obvious interest-we are colleagues), then he stopped contacting me. I was busy for several days and I was traveling for couple of weeks (he knew that) but he did not contacted me. Long story short, after we met again and talked he said he met another woman, and he is dating her. So that was the end. We did not contacted or met after (for about 3 months we did not met by accident even).
Meanwhile he broke with the girl he was dating, he dated another girl and broke up… I noticed he dates a lot. He divorced for about 3 years ago.
I think he have several good qualities , and he is a very nice person. We are very good as friends, and I really enjoy talking to him always. How I can learn if there is any potential? and what is the right thing to do? I know he might be hurt from the past and he needs time, but I feel he likes to have a relationship from what he says, and all his friends are married.
For several months I have been very confused with the situation, but I feel it has great benefits for me to learn a lot. You have been one of the best resources taught me many things, thank you!
With the way your relationship has unfolded in the past, did he always take the lead? If not, consider that he may be in the same situation as you. He may wonder if there is any interest in starting things up between the two of you again.
If so (and if it is appropriate in your culture) you could tell him you would consider it if he decided to ask you out again. This leaves room for him to still take action (taking the lead) while eliminating his hesitation if he does have an interest.
My man changed his settings on FB so now when I post a picture or status update tagging him, none of his friends can see it. THAT hurt my feelings and I feel he has something to hide. He denied changing his settings and accused me of over-thinking things. There is only one way to change settings and that is manually. How do I approach this with him?
Hi Lindsey. I really think the approach outlined in my article fits in your situation. You told him what you think, but you really need to explain how you feel. Talking about feelings allows him to see why his actions matter.
The primary feeling you have is fear. Say something like, "I know it probably sounds irrational to you, but it makes me afraid that you don't want your friendship group to see me as your significant other." While his initial response may still be defensive, he'll probably come around to address your fear more directly. He will probably also understand your perspective better. Even if he doesn't reverse the changes on Facebook, you will have succeeded at showing him a sensitivity that he should avoid trampling on in the future.
We my man and I have been together for 8 years.. The good bad and ugly..
I told you from the start that I wanted an exclusive relationship. I didn't even speak to my old boyfriend when I went to Chicago for ***'s birthday (did not even tell him what dates I'd be in the city). *** told me he was hinting that he'd like to attend the party when he dropped off my stuff that was at his house (I had only asked for the dresses).
Since you told me you want variety, I've decided to leave the square dancing to your other lady friend; I was only trying to learn because it's important to you. For the time being, I'll just keep our regular Saturday-Sunday tryst. You can have the rest of the week for her (just change the sheets and have a good bath in-between- LOL).
I'm putting a new profile up on C***.com to see if I can find myself a one-woman man there, but in the meantime, I DO ENJOY you. And I did love you.
The thing that most impressed me the day we met was the fact that you care enough about your mother to put the time you spend with her first. I was also impressed by your many talents in having helped your parents build their house and the fact that you work in lapidary and silver, have kept bees and done brewing. Once I relocated, I had plans to try those two latter with your help. I also wanted to do more camping events, and had contacted *** regarding a camp toilet of wood to cover a 5-gallon bucket and was planning to buy the shower enclosure and solar bags.
Now, I have no future plans until I have a boyfriend.
I think you would do best to cut it off all tgtr or accept things as they are. You half way stand up for yourself to say you don't want an open relationship only to then say you are willing to still have "FUN" on weekends. Either leave or stay but don't try to play tough girl hoping he will beg you to stay because even I a stranger can read that's what you are doing. You don't really mean your words that you are ready to walk. You are begging him to pick you. This will cause him to do opposite and pick her.
I am in a really lovely relationship with a man who writes me poetry and tells me how much he loves me often. I have really studied and prepared for this relationship. We have been together only 2 months, and know that what I have learned from you and others have brought me to this wonderful place with a man I very much love back. This said, sometimes I get scared when he also says things like "if we are still together then" or writes "if our love continues to stoke the fire", etc. You get the picture. We try not to get overwhelmed thinking of the future, but do dream together. I know it's the reality of only knowing each other a short time and that the truth is, none of us know the future and it's important not to get ahead of ourselves and to keep true communication. But still, I get worried that he is putting a distancing thing in the mix… I feel these kinds of insecure feelings are from fears, not strengths, and maybe are something we need to deal with on our own rather than bringing them up. Any thoughts?
Hi Maria. The examples you gave are well within the limits of normal speech patterns people use when talking about a relationship in the future (at least when you've only been dating for two months). The more you value something, the easier it is to let fear take over as you begin to fear losing the thing you value. Fear has a way of destroying good relationships. I think it would be best if you looked past the fear that his comments might be some kind of secret message intended to keep you distant. Instead, allow your irresistible qualities to shine by thinking more about what you do want in the relationship and less about the unknown.

Yorkshire Rats - Alone Together
Yorkshire Rats were formed in 2004 by ex Abrasive Wheels guitarist Don Mercy. They released the Lawful Civil Rights 7" & an ep and supported Rancid before going on an extended hiatus in 2007. Fast forward a few years and 2015 saw them release an album on Indelirium Records called Sea Of Souls and earlier this year there was the Trouble City ep. You can check out those last 2 here : https://yorkshirerats.bandcamp.com/
Currently lining up with Don Mercy (who is now lead vocalist replacing original singer Sean Brewin) are Matt Lee (lead guitar), Josh Clarke (bass) and Chris Furness (drums). They've recently announced there'll be a new single coming out on 10th January on Northern Ruff Records. They've already done a video for it.

Top 10 Songs Chosen By Jeremy Ampe (SongPreserve)
https://www.songpreserve.com/
SongPreserve is a new site that's building up an excellent archive of out of print punk, hardcore and indie music and they're encouraging you to download it for free and to share these previously hard to find gems. Today, the man behind the site, Jeremy Ampe, has selected his 10 favourite songs that have been added to the collection thus far. A self confesseed music nerd, Jeremy's embarking on a labour of love which will eventually become a must visit musical treasure trove. As well as adding comments to his selections, he's also added links so you can easily locate the songs.
Many thanks Jeremy, over to you.......
SongPreserve.com is a site we started to archive out of print Punk, Hardcore and Indie music. It's myself (Jeremy Ampe), Matt Frederick and whoever else we talk into helping dig this music up. So much of it is in boxes of tapes and stacks of records that are a basement cleaning away from disappearing and the little bit that's shared online is spread across blogs, band sites and Bandcamp pages. I started a similar project with a friend focused on our home town scene of Milwaukee that's archived over 450 releases and people get lost exploring from band to band for hours. That's the experience we're looking to create here for music from any scene. It should feel like digging through a friend's record collection.
Everything is shared by the band with their approval. Our general approach is that nothing is too obscure because as music nerds we know someone, somewhere is looking for your bands demo tape because it means something to them and we want them to find it. You also have a lot of great independent labels going out of business. A few of the releases will be reissued elsewhere but a bulk of them will be gone. We want to create a space for all of those to live together. If you have music you'd like to add to the archive please get in touch ihavestuff@songpreserve.com
Here are 10 of my favorite tracks from the site so far.
1) BIG RIG - Expansive Heart (1994)
Big Rig is best known as being Jesse Micheals' first band after Operation Ivy but members also went on to Screw 32 and Pitch Black. Musically Big Rig is more of a precursor to those bands and Jesse's future projects like Common Riders and Classics of Love than it is a look back.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/B/44-big-rig/116-expansive-heart
2) ARM - Astrolab (2003)
Arm is a band from Minneapolis that played with a bunch of bands that I like but I hadn't actually heard them until we got this release for the site. I've been making up for lost time by listening to it a lot since then. It's mathy post hardcore that still has plenty of hardcore in it. So good.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/A/41-arm/108-universal-standard-time
3) DEMISE - It's All Lies (1991)
Demise were a hardcore band from Milwaukee that played with bands like Filth, Spitboy and Econochrist. For me they bridged the gap between 80s and 90s hardcore.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/D/19-demise/48-all-of-this-for-nothing
4) DOGS ON ICE - Bucs (1994)
This came out on John Yates' Dekota Records. John Yates is one of my graphic design heroes for his work with Dead Kennedys and Alternative Tentacles as well as his own labels Allied and Dekota. Dogs on Ice are from Florida but this track sounds like the kind of melodic hardcore you'd hear out of Chicago in the vein of Naked Raygun. Plus I love Joe Popp's gruff vocals. He's still traveling around the US and Europe making music.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/D/43-dogs-on-ice/111-salt-wound
5) 8 BARK - Sit & Spin (1991)
Douglas from 8 Bark also ran Underdog Records which captured the variety of music coming out of Chicago in the 80s and 90s from hardcore to pop-punk to emo. The start of this track is one of my favorites. My description won't do it justice. Give it a listen.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/1/20-8-bark/53-th-big-wheel
6) GAUGE - Flognoth (1993)
Gauge had a strong D.C. influence but became a huge influence themselves particularly in the Midwest and their home town of Chicago. Unfortunately, they broke up in 1994 around the time bands similar bands from the area like Cap n' Jazz and Braid started getting recognition outside of that scene. There is a documentary called Gauge:153 that you can stream free online that tells their story really well.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/G/23-gauge/58-swing
7) MIJ - Algia Butterfly (1995)
I loved MIJ because this band grew with each other really well. They started in high school playing hardcore and release by release it got more melodic. I think every step in their evolution was still called some sort Emo because it was the 90s and that's what everything was was being called. After MIJ Jeff continued as a singer songwriter and released three albums on Kill Rock Stars before his untimely passing in 2009. This song and album is my favorite as it captures the band blending soft and pretty with loud and noisy in a way that feels just right to me.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/M/14-m-i-j/44-chewed-smooth-center
8) NUISANCE - Nicotine (1991)
Larry Livermore calls this album "One of the greatest Lookout Records releases." They didn't have the pop-punk sound that made Lookout famous with bands like Green Day, Screeching Weasel and The Mr.T Experience. Instead they're a great example of the wide range of sounds that made Lookout an interesting label to follow. Nuisance is often called "County Punk" which is a completely accurate description.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/N/30-nuisance/85-confusion-hill
9) ZIPGUN - Together Dumb (1992)
Zipgun were a punk band from Seattle during the height of the grunge era. This is a band I was lucky enough to get exposed to early in their career. Together Dumb is an essential Punk love song and I personally put it many mix tapes back in the day.
https://www.songpreserve.com/index.php/component/muscol/Z/40-zipgun/107-8-track-player
10) SUPPORTING ACTRESS - Desi Arnez (1997)
This is another great band I hadn't heard until we got it to put on the site but I've listened to it a lot since I got my hands on it. They played jazzy post-hardcore which I'm a sucker for. Most of the band went on to form Inlantic which is instrumental, more experimental and also quite good. That's also up on Song Preserve and worth a listen.

Bonus : RHYTHM CHICKEN - Live At National Liquor Bar
Razorcake columnist and drummer Rhythm Chicken is known for showing up (mostly uninvited) and playing drums until he is chased out. He's played bathrooms, bars, abandoned zoos, on top of a train and to passing cars by the side of the road in Los Angeles. The only thing that could make any of that weirder would be recording it and putting it on a 7" so he did.

Wrong Again - Serenity
Wrong Again are a melodic punk 3 piece from Belgorod, Russia who's line up comprises of Mighty D (guitar/vocals), Roma Wreckman (bass/vocals) and Ilya (drums). Mighty may be known to some of you regular visitors as a member of The Dumbheads (they recently featured on the Teenage Bottlerocket tribute album : https://dumbheads.bandcamp.com/), whilst Roma has a solo project which you can check out here : https://romawreckman.bandcamp.com/.
They've just released a 6 track ep on Hypodermic Records called Serenity from which I've posted the title track below. The songs touch on the subjects of unrequited love, politics, sweetness & light, the dark depths of a human soul and how to cope with all that. One for those of you that were brought up on a diet of late 90's emo tinged punk, you can check it out (along with previous releases Afraid Of Being Wrong and Cloud 9) here : https://sadkitties.bandcamp.com/album/serenity
This is Serenity......
Wasting days, but not smiles
You get jobs, we find style
Find ourselves in the beat
Of pulsating city's streets
Can't turn back, no return
I don't really wanna go home
Won't ever go home
Oh, midnight comforts me
Fills my heart with serenity
When there is nowhere to go
I know the place where I belong
Midnight, comfort me
Please fill me with serenity
And I'd be happy, oh yeah
You get jobs, we get fired
We're at ease with misery
Giving us serenity
I won't turn back, won't return
And there's no place like home

The Top 50 Songs Of 2016
The last couple of years have ended with Just Some Punk Songs posting a chart of the Top 30 songs of the year. This time round there's going to be a top 50 in order to try and reflect the vast number of great releases from 2016 (and even after choosing 50 I've still omitted so much great music so sorry to anyone who missed the cut). As always, there's a limit of one song per artist, the chart has been chosen by me and isn't based on page views. Thanks to everyone who's released great music this year and made updating this blog such a delight. All the songs featured below were new releases in 2016 except number 9 which I think originally first came out in 2014 but featured on a new 2016 album and number 3 which I think first came out in the 80's but was rereleased this year and is so good I sneaked it in.
Can I also thank Jonny Boots for the awesome artwork at the top of the page.
I'll post the link to all the songs so you can check them out. The Top 20 featured in a Just Some Punk Songs special show last night and the saved version of that show is here : http://mixlr.com/mick-fletcher/showreel/top-20-of-2016/
I get a little frustrated at the number of people that wallow in the late 70's and early 80's. Punk was never intended to be a nostalgia trip, it was exciting, relevant and a breath of fresh air. In my opinion it still is. Hopefully this Top 50 will feature plenty of excellent bands for you to get your teeth into but it's only a small fraction of what's happening out there. Go find your own favourites and support a scene that's as healthy as it's been for years.
Enjoy.......

Komplikations - Stress
I preiously featured Belgian elektrorockers Komplikations a couple of years ago when I posted one of their early songs (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/komplikations-defect.html). Today they return with a track from their new 12" Humans.
Scheduled for Febuary, Rockstar Records will be releasing a red vinyl version or you can check out the name your price digital download here : https://rockstarrecords.bandcamp.com/album/komplikations-humans
The band comprises Alen Micuglian (vocals), Synth Lio (synth) and Ben Plastic (drums). The song I'm posting is about something that effects many of us in these austere times. With no money to pay the bills, no idea of what to do and a world spinning too fast, this is Stress.....
Labels: 2016, Komplikations, Synth punk
The Angry Agenda - It's Alright
The Angry Agenda are from Watford and released their debut album, Here Comes Trouble, in 2011. You can check it out here : https://theangryagenda.bandcamp.com/
2015 saw Randale Records put out a split ep called Together We Stand which as well as The Angry Agenda also featured a track each by Control, Mouthguard and Riots. Earlier this year, Randale also released the follow up to Here Comes Trouble. Titled Society, it's a mixture of Oi and Rock and it's been picking up some deservedly positive press.
The album's title is apt as this time round vocalist/songwriter Nick shines a light on various aspects of modern life, whether it be community spirit, what's happened to this green and pleasant land or raising a glass to the memory of departed friends.
The song I've posted below could possibly have been from the pen of a young Paul Weller. When life is hard, don't give up, it's all swings and roundabouts. It's Alright......

The Dollyrots - All I Want for Christmas is You
It's Christmas Day, I hope you're all enjoying yourselves, I suppose I better wish you all a Merry Christmas and post something festive.
The Dollyrots are a female fronted rock n roll band from Los Angeles featuring Kelly Ogden (vocals/bass) and Luis Cabezas (guitar/vocals). They've been releasing music for over 15 years and you can check out their Bandcamp page here : https://thedollyrots.bandcamp.com/music.
The latest of those releases is a cover of the 1994 Mariah Carey smash, All I Want For Christmas Is You. It's available name your price on Bandcamp and you can watch the video below.
Pencilled in for March 2017 is studio album number 6, it's going to be titled Whiplash Splash so watch out for it.
All I Want For Christmas Is You.....
Labels: 2016, pop punk, The Dollyrots
Nachthexen - Ring Ring
"please leave your message after the tone......"
Nachthexen are a female fronted synth punk band from Sheffield featuring Emma Thacker (vocals), Donna (synth), Fiona (bass) and Olga Rienda (drums). They take their name from the German nickname for the women military aviators of the 558th Night Bomber Regiment (later known as the 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment) of the Soviet Air Forces. The English translation is Night Witches.
Last year saw them release the name your price ep titled The Other. They followed it up last April with a s/t 7" ep on Kids Of The Lughole Records. (Just a quick note, Kids Of The Lughole have put out some of 2016's coolest music, this blog has already featured Sievehead, Clean Shirts and Detergents but there's others that are definitely worth checking out : https://kidsofthelughole.bandcamp.com/ ).
You can find Nachthexen's music here : https://nachthexenpunx.bandcamp.com/
Back when I was at school, the likes of Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League were pioneering synth punk and like Nachthexen, both were from Sheffield. Upholding that city's fine tradition of this kind of music, from the s/t ep, this is Ring Ring.....
Labels: 2016, Nachthexen, Synth punk
Coming soon.......
Don't miss the Just Some Punk Songs round up of the best music from 2016. On Tuesday 27th Devember the Top 20 songs of the year will be broadcast on a special Just Some Punk Songs show. It'll air at 8pm (GMT) and you're all welcome to join in the fun in the chatroom if you want to agree (or more probably) disagree with the choices. It'll be a bit like John Peel's Festive 50 but with a pretty useless dj and only 20 songs but at least they'll all be punk songs.
This will help you find the link to that show..... https://www.facebook.com/events/240316599736925/
The following day, Weds 28th, will see the posting of the Just Some Punk Songs Official Top 50 of 2016. The last couple of years there's been a Top 30 but there were so many great releases in 2016 that even a Top 50 won't fit everything in but I'll be giving it a go.
For those that missed them, these were the previous charts :

Glenn Robinson - Don't Want To Go
A big thank you to Ramone To The Bone head honcho Mark Ramohn today, for several years now RTTB Records have been releasing Ramones influenced old school pop punk compilations showcasing the music of bands from all corners of the globe. Marc also does his best to stream as many great new releases as he can get his hands on. His latest love letter to the scene is a massive 59 track tribute album to Teenage Bottlerocket. Not only does it feature totally radical music, there's also superb cover art courtesy of the mega talented Ole O'Brian. Oh, and did I mention it's all name your price! Go snap it up here : https://rttb-records.bandcamp.com/album/rttb-41-16-a-tribute-to-teenage-bottlerocket-skate-or-fly and whilst your there check out some of the other RTTB releases.
Earlier this year it looked as though Ramone To The Bone was no more. Marc was seriously ill and not only did it seem the label was a gonna, it looked like he was too. Fortunately not only for Marc but for the pop punk world his health improved and he rapidly returned to doing what he does best. As he's doing this to promote music as opposed to make money, RTTB have paid for 15,000 free downloads so hopefully everyone who wants the comp can grab it for free.
Selecting a song for this update was far from easy as there's plenty to choose from but as I've already featured several of the bands involved (Prozacs, Batfoot, The 99ers, Kobanes, The Decline, Silver Foxes etc etc etc...) I decided I wanted to go with someone different. I'd not heard much by Glenn Robinson but I was mightily impressed with the Desk Job ep that came out earlier this year so I wasn't surprised to discover that his contribution was a grade A winner.
From Rhode Island, he's "been having fun making music since '97". You can check out his Bandcamp page here (I need to listen to more of the releases on there myself) : https://glennrobinson.bandcamp.com/
This is Don't Want To Go......

Gouge Away - Wildflowers
Credit where credit's due, my thanks go out to former Dr And The Crippens' bassist Wayne Elliott who throughout 2016 has been responsible for introducing me to some great music via his Pulsebeat show. Several of those songs have appeared on this blog and today I'm posting one that he played on the latest show. Yesterday he broadcast part one of a 2 part round up of his favourite records of the year and the track he ended with is the one you will find below. If you want to listen to the full show click this link : http://mixlr.com/wayne-elliott/showreel/pulsebeat-34-2016-review-part-one/
Gouge Away are Christina, Mick, Tommy and Zack, they're from Ft Lauderdale, Florida and they formed in 2013. They play female fronted hardcore punk, they've toured with the likes of G.L.O.S.S., Touche Amore, Ceremony and Soul Glo (next April they'll be supporting Paint It Black) and back in February they released their debut album (on Eighty-Sixed Records). It's titled , Dies and you can check it out on Bandcamp.... https://gougeawayfl.bandcamp.com/album/dies
The final track from the album, this is Wildflowers.....
We've got a problem. We're stomping on each other's heads, climbing and clawing to the top of a mountain, do we even care for claiming? We've got a problem. We've found ourselves in a ring, fighting a fight that we're all losing and we didn't ask for this match. We have built up internalized hate. And if we could dig to the bottom we would find that it needs uprooting. So dig. We're running a race that no one is winning. Panting and tiring ourselves out. You've got to be sick of this, too. So dig. Eradicate. Eliminate Eradicate. Eliminate. It's not a contest when we're just fighting to exist. Resistance is stronger together. Don't step back, don't step aside, step up. It's not a contest when we're just fighting to exist. Voices are louder together. Don't step back, don't step aside, step up. Weeds are just plants out of place, With no need to invade if embraced.Aren't you sick of this too? Thicker skin when we have eachother's backs Aren't you sick of this too? Wounds mend stronger when we heal together

The Briggs - Control Alt-Right Delete
The Briggs are from Los Angeles and formed in 1999. Originally called I Decline they became The Briggs in 2001. They released 4 albums (Is This What You Believe, Numbers, Back To Higher Ground and Come All You Madmen) before taking a break. In 2012 they resurfaced with a song called Panic and 2015 saw them release a self titled ep. Frontman Joey Briggs (LaRocca) also has a number of releases and you can check those out here : https://joeybriggs.bandcamp.com/
Now there's a new song that Joey wrote due to his concern about the rise of the right wing and the growing hatred and suspicion of outsiders. Featuring a line up comprising of Joey on vocals and percussion, Jason LaRocca (guitar/back ups/ percussion) and Derik Envy (bass), this is Control Alt-Right Delete.....
I can't believe this is happening
We can't take 3 steps back
But that seems to be the case
it's sure hard to ignore when it's thrown in your face
So you think this is the definition of an American
Where the fuck have you been, tell me, where have you been
I say, fuck these Alt-Right pricks
Who the fuck do they think they are
We can't claim this is our land
When we ourselves are immigrants
Ihr sagt nun Sieg Heil
(You guys now say Sieg Heil)
Ja, ich lach' mich tot
(I'm laughing my head off)
Ihr versteht nicht was ihr sagt
(You you don't understand what you're saying)
Wenn es das Reich noch gäbe, wäre es nach euch auf der Jagt
(If there still was a Reich, you'd be the ones they'd come after)
Ihr seid nicht das Herrenvolk
(You're not the "Master Race")
Ihr seid Outback, white trash hillbillies in suits
This place don't belong only to you, it don't belong me or you
Fuck you Nazi pricks
Who the fuck do you think you are
We're so off track
Now we've got law and order
at imaginary borders
it's time to move forward
not 80 years back

The Cundeez - Gangs o Dundee
One from a few years ago today. The Cundeez are a working class punk band from the streets of Dundee. With their broad accents and occasional use of bagpipes they're an authentically gritty Scottish treat that should go down well with those that think bands like The Real McKenzies are slightly too polished and maybe not genuinely Celts.
They've been together for around a decade, originally they were best known for re writing punk classics for their local football team, Dundee United. With frontman Gary Robertson also being a poet and published author it was only a matter of time before the football songs took a back seat to gritty socio and political themes. 2017 will see them release new album Teckle And Hide.
The song I'm posting below featured on 2010's debut album, Cundee Radio and is a pounding look at the tribal goings on in their city. It's all police sirens and Oi Oi Oi chants and it's really rather good. This is Gangs O Dundee.....
Labels: 2010, punk, The Cundeez
Pale Kids - Sick (For a While)
Pale kids are from Durham and are a 4 piece (David, Andrew, Kate and Joe) indie pop-punk band. They've released a song called Stuck Here, an ep called Home By Nine and a split ep with Molar. All are available here : https://palekids.bandcamp.com/
Catholic and queer, they aren't the typical punk band that'll you'll find on this blog (there's a very marked difference between the song I'm posting today and the one from yesterday!). What they are is quirky, jangly, poppy, punky and pretty damn catchy.
The video (below) was directed by Nathan Stephens-Griffin from fellow Durham pop punkas Martha, the song is called Sick (For a While) and it appeared last March on the Home By Nine ep.....
Labels: 2016, Pale Kids, pop punk
Oi Polloi - The Face
"FACISM IS A FUCKIN' DISEASE WE MUST UNITE TO ERASE"
A new video today from Scottish Anarcho-Punks Oi Polloi that calls for the rising tide of facism to be rebuffed with a kick in it's snarling, hateful face. Comments that the lyrical content on this song is less cerebral and more primitive than is the norm for the band is agreed with to a point but it's pointed out that violent confrontation is only one part of a multi pronged attack aimed at rebutting the current rise of the far right. As they comment, instead of encouraging nazi boneheads be kicked in the face, they could just have easily have said "the rising tide of xenophobia and increased far-right agitation necessitates a unified and comprehensive antifascist physical response." Whichever way they put it, they've got their message across and the addition of a powerful video helps emphasise things nicely.
As you'll probably know, Oi Polloi began life in Edinburgh in 1981 as an Oi! band but over time have become classed more as anarcho-punk, supporting direct action on environmental issues, hunting, racism, sexism, homophobia, facism and imperialism. There's been numerous line up changes down the years with vocalist Deek Allen being the only constant. Earlier this year they released the Saorsa album from which today's song is taken (it also features on the No One Is Illegal split ep with Anti-Bastard). You can get more info here : https://www.facebook.com/Oi-Polloi-Official-204143832251/
Hitting out at right wing bullshit and mixing footage from movies such as Imperium and V For Vendetta with real life footage, this is The Face.....
Nazi bonehead on the street - you think you are the master race
But antifascists put you on the deck and they're kicking you in the face
Kicking you in the face! Kicking you in the face!
In the face! The face! The face!
Sick of your rightwing bullshit - it's a fuckin' disgrace
So now the vegan boots rain in - kicking you in the face
Fascism is a fuckin' disease we must unite to erase
Listen to our antifascist prog oi kicking you in the face
In the face! The face! The face! The face!

Pizza Tramp - CCTV
Fancy something loud, fast and very energetic? Read on.....
Influenced by the likes of Black Flag, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols etc, Pizza Tramp are a hard hitting Welsh band featurung three guys who go by the names Sean Two Cabs (bass/growling), Jimmy No Whammy (guitar/howling) and Danny Bang Bang (drums). They formed in 2014 and whilst taking occasional breaks from drinking, smoking and eating pizza they've managed to record a few killer records, you can check them out here : https://pizzatramp.bandcamp.com/. They also now have a website : http://www.pizzatramp.com/
Their latest release is the album Blowing Chunks which surfaced last month on TNS Records (home of Just Some Punk Songs' favourites Wonk Unit and Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man). It rattles headlong through 14 tracks of blistering punk rock in little more than the blink of an eye. If you love your music to beat you to a pulp but still to have hooks and melody then you'll probably already be familiar with Pizza Tramp, if you haven't yet stumbled upon them then it's your lucky day. This is CCTV......
Know what you think before you thunk it
Tom Cruise is outside the door
You know it's poison but still drunk it
Game's not begun they know the score
Hacked phones and Facebook and sattelites and CCTV
That private message well they read it
You said that something was the bomb
They checked your mail because you said it
But seem to miss what's really wrong
Ladies and gentlemen, keep your tinfoil hats firmly in place
They can take a cockshot through your pocket, and you wouldn't even know it
Like the rats they're everywhere
Smile for the fucking camera

Kill The Colossi - Fuck The Taxman
TO EVERYONE WHO PUTS THE FINGER UP
AT THE GOVERNMENT'S PLAN
AND UNITED, TOGETHER, AS ONE
SHOUTS FUCK THE TAXMAN......
A few weeks ago I was minding my own business when I was slapped around the chops by a song that I needed to share with you immediately. I didn't get round to sharing it though as I quickly discovered that the band had a new single coming out soon so I decided to wait and see if it was going to be as good as the song I'd just been so excited about. Happily the wait was worthwhile.
Kill The Colossi got together last year and are from Bournemouth. The line up features Tyrone Moll (vocals/guitar), Adam Storey (guitar/vocals), Rowan Miles (bass) and ex-Gonads drummer Steve Higgins. Influenced by the likes of The Clash, Rancid, The Beat, Tsunami Bomb, Killing Joke, The Specials etc, they're on Never Be Quiet Records (a label that also boasts a couple of other bands to grace this blog, fellow south coast punks The Mistakes and The Crash Landings).
In July of this year they released their debut, self titled ep (the song from it which I initially intended to feature was For Honour) and you can find it here : https://killthecolossi.bandcamp.com/releases. You can also find more info here : https://www.facebook.com/killthecolossi/
Now they're back with a brand new single and accompanying video. Confirming their status as one of the best new bands around, this is Fuck The Taxman.....

The System - Killer Coppers
Anti government. Anti religion. Anti facist. Anti war. The System have been kicking against the pricks since 1980. They list the bands that they like as Crass, Flux Of Pink Indians, Anthrax, The Mob, Subhumans, Andy T, Motorhead, Poison Girls etc. Their new latest album is called Slave To The Machine and it contains songs with titles such as We're Still Struggling, War And Money, Defiance And Resistance and Consumerism. If you aren't familiar with the band, I think you now have some idea what you're in for when you listen to the song I've posted below. It's exactly what you'll be expecting but better.
On last night's Just Some Punk Songs show, I invited some of the listeners to choose their favourite songs of 2016, the show went down a storm with the people in the chatroom and one of the highlights was a song by The System. Thanks to John Copeland for choosing it. (The show's saved here if anyone's interested : http://mixlr.com/mick-fletcher/showreel/just-some-punk-song-listeners-best-of-2016/).
You can check out the album on Bandcamp or if you want the vinyl version it's available on Grow Your Own Records. https://anthraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/the-system-slave-to-the-machine

Out Of School - Skating Troubles
A band I know very little about today with a song I've been meaning to post for a while. Our Of School are a hardcore punk band from Jerez, Andalusia (Spain). The line up features Guille (drums), Paco (bass), Sergio (guitar) and Isaac (vocals).
Despite being Spanish they sound as though they could very easily have been hanging round empty swimming pools and skate parks in 80's California. They released a 5 track self titled ep in August and you can snap it up free here : https://outofschool.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-school
Aside from that I know nothing so I'll just leave you with a song. This is Skating Troubles.....
My problems fade away (OH OH)
my duties dissapear (OH OH)
forgetting all this shit
it's skating troubles
My parents set me up (OH OH)
with their ideal lives (BUT NOW)
i'm grinding fucking lies
I'M SKATING
MY TROUBLES

This Is Love Your Way.......
Dead hours are passing by dealing with adversity
All your time sold by a dirty salary
You know you'll never make up for these days
These years, you'll lose them
Never will have it easy, not for you,working class
You have values they'll never understand.
You stand out of the pack
You stand out of the pack...
Your family always wanted you to live without pain
They cared for your instruction not to experience the same
Although the rich kids look down at you
You won't live in shame
After all of these years you are still playing loud
And spitting all the mud
To all who is to blame
And you love your way...
I've chosen my path, out of the pack with you.
I've chosen my path, and love my way.
I've chosen my path, out of the pack, and on this path I will stay.

Bubnowyj Walet () – moskiewska grupa malarzy, związana z ruchem futuryzmu rosyjskiego nawiązująca w swej twórczości do współczesnego malarstwa francuskiego, zwłaszcza do wczesnego kubizmu. Nazwa grupy artystycznej "Walet Karo" nawiązuje do przedrewolucyjnego określenia katorżników, na których odzieży na plecach naszywano czarny romb, piętnujący wyrzutków społeczeństwa.

Do grupy tej, działającej w zmiennym składzie w latach 1909–1917, należeli:
 Piotr Konczałowski
 Aristarch Lentułow
