1 ) Prison Walls - The Injections ( San Diego ) ........ 2 ) Cold eyes - The Reactors ( Texas ) ........ 3 ) No Passion - The Vice Creems ( Aylesbury , Buckinghamshire ) . Three of my most favourite tunes discovered in '09 have been by California's shouty punk strummers,The Injections...a band Steve Malkmus almost certainly heard in his youth i reckon!

Yep,i've uploaded this one a year ago,but i love this tune so much,i decided to dump the old vid & do a new one that does it a bit more justice. Any old Punks out there who think that the youth of today can't 'cut it' when it comes to amphetamine-fuelled,high energy rnr,should give this a listen.Released as the b-side to the excellent 'Curves & the Bends' single in 2006,it spits & rages like a '77 mother-f..ker!!!!

Here's a Punk eulogy to England's wartiest King from Louisiana's The Normals...rock on Harry-yer great big nonce!
