I'm Lost and I Need to be Found
With the return of original drummer Mike Felumlee, the classic line-up of Smoking Popes have issued 'Into the Agony', their first full length LP of new music since 1997's 'Destination Failure'. In the interim there has been a clutch of albums featuring a rotating series of occupants of the drum stool, but from what I've heard of the new record, it's like the last 21 years never happened. Ever wondered what The Ramones might've sounded like if they'd been fronted by prime period Morrissey? Smoking Popes provide the answer. Here's their fantastic 1995 single, 'Need You Around' and from the new LP, 'Amanda My Love'.

Great stuff Swede. Into The Agony is on my list
1994's 'Born to Quit' is well worth seeking out as well Walter.
"Ever wondered what the Ramones might have sounded like if they'd been fronted by prime period Morrissey..?" Now we know! So true.
Need You Around made my top songs of the ‘90s list a few years back. I must admit I had no idea they were still at it. As a youngster, they were from my neck of the woods.
Blimey, Charley. They'll do.
It's difficult to believe that a gap of 24 years separate these two tunes.
