We’re back once again for this week’s Top 3 videos for Nov. 3, 2018!

First up is a band from Canada who call themselves Tommy & the Commies.

Louder Than War writes: “On their debut album, Tommy and the Commies race from the traps with that spitting punk pop sound first seen on The Buzzcocks’ Spiral Scratch, on The Undertones’ Teenage Kicks. It’s a fine eight-track blast back to two minute wonders that flit in full of harmony and melody over chugging and ringing guitars that drive the songs forcefully and infectiously along.They dive in head first with opener Devices. There’s no clever intro or lead in as they employ that great Orgasm Addict trick of kicking straight off with the vocals. There’s also a definite Jam sound going on as the song flies out with backing vocals tripping over and falling perfectly in the spaces of the lead. It’s a catchy and contagious sound that they continue with throughout the rest of this (too short) album. In fact the only criticism is that there just ain’t enough!” The lead singer looks like he was a member of the Sweet! Cool!

Next up is a band that was introduced to us by Alex Kish of Wassup Rocker Radio (like, just about 15 minutes ago!) This band whose record just came out a couple of days is only available on vinyl (I guess)… But at least we get the cool video that looks like it was pulled outta a 1980s studio! It’s Brower!

Their bio states: “BUZZSAWS is the debut album by BROWER, the solo project of Nat Brower, resident of Ridgewood Queens and erstwhile NANCY and METALLEG compatriot, already championing the spirits and sounds of our most cherished Punk and Rock musical varietals the world over. After last spring’s Little Big EP (DIG007), BROWER is back, and the fire behind that ass is simply inextinguishable! Enter BUZZSAWS – a glam’d-out glitter-bomb of fuzz guitars and giant vocal melodies within the Venn diagram of Bolan, Bowie and Brett (Smiley).”

First question: Where the heck is Ridgewood Queens???

They have a Facebook too (sort of): https://digrecords.bigcartel.com/product/brower-buzzsaws-lp

At #1 are the Touts from Derry in the UK with their newest release! This is the the 4th or 5th time the Touts have graced our countdown! Their bio says about this fine track: “‘Can’t Blame Me’ is about that period when an election is creeping up. The media and politicians start their campaigns of fear mongering, scaring the people, keeping things just the way they like them. It creates unease and everyone falls in line when in fact they should be out demanding a better life, demanding change.”

Of course they have a Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/toutsband/
