MALONE 011EP

The punk movement also came fully clothed. Mal-One's new single talks about the fashion side of punk that ran parallel to the music. These clothes were supplied from Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwoods emporium situated at 430 King's Road, the epicenter of the punk movement itself. The clothes were not cheap and you needed deep pockets to buy them. But you also needed an attitude to wear them, as many factions were not so appreciative of them, especially the "Teddy Boys." You had to run the gauntlet of the King's Road on a Saturday from Sloane Square to the Worlds End. A tricky mile, in which you always had to keep your eyes open from enemy attack. The clothes were pieces of art and deserve their time in the spotlight and perhaps even in song. Hope you appreciate the gesture. Respect to that.

Mal-One's new single "When The Two 77's Clashed" talks about that heady time back in 1977. The year the Rastafarian faith also picked up on a biblical quote that told of an apocalyptic time coming in the year the two 77's clash in 1977. Well, it was definitely a heady year for the punk movement that also coincided with the release of The Clash's debut album. Mal-One describes the bands rehearsal rooms where they created the songs and whose entrance supplied the cover shot for the album cover itself. A machine gun splatter through the songs on the album and the meanings they reflected to all our lives.

Mal-One's new album starts with running through the radio dial, looking for some suitable music to listen to. These snippets are actually samples of songs from his previous album It's All Punk Rock, this time declaring the news Punk Rock Is Back! Maybe some young guns might in some small way be inspired and find in Mal-One's current efforts that "anything is possible" and the true meaning of punk was in fact "Do It Yourself." The vinyl version of this release includes a poster that is part of Mal-Ones continuing Street Art project that involves putting up posters around London. Included in the album packaging also is a signed and blind stamped limited print of one of Mal-One's works What Is It About Punk That's So Different So Appealing. A punk collage that just carries one word in among its multiple punk images and that word is PUNK.

For Mal-one's sixth single he has chosen to use what he calls his "Punk Art Poetry" to shine a light on one of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's most controversial/stylistic garment, the "Anarchy Shirt". Vivienne had made the prototype of the "Anarchy Shirt" on some stock of "Wemblex" shirts that Malcolm had acquired and had shown it to Malcolm who said it needed to say more. So, he added the text and the quotes from "Situationist" related saying's "Try Subversion" to quoting revolutionist Durutti "We are not afraid of the ruins". The text over the shirt front, made using their kids "letraset stencil" would say "Dangerously Close To Love" or "Only Anarchists Are Pretty"... sounds like a good chorus for a song. Only fifty of these shirts were originally made but like all design classics have been copied many times. "Some say only anarchists are pretty... or dangerously close to love" Edition of 500.

The It's All Punk Rock album was initially inspired by various artworks punk artist Mal-One had completed and titled. These titles usually turned into punk poetry/lyrics and finally into songs. The idea would lead to grouping these songs together and to add the additional difficult cherry on the top. The songs would also include the word "punk" in each of their titles. Creating what we called the first punk art concept album. The title of the album as well as summing up the contents, grew from a term Mal-One had used for years when asked what had inspired a certain work or what was the meaning behind something -- It's All Punk Rock would be the quick reply. Each song tells the story or relates the ideas behind a work, whether that be "430 King's Road" (where punk meets rock n' roll) the story of the various guises that Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood would conceive for their shop from Let It Rock, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die, Sex, Sedtionaries. "Anarchy Tour After GrundY (Punks Out On Parole)" the story of the "Anarchy Tour" and what happened after the infamous appearance by the Sex Pistols on the Today show with Bill Grundy. "Punk Rock Jubilee 77", the Silver Jubilee celebrations of 1977 and its punk overtones. "The Punk Rockers Gig Prayer", a punk poem for the various venues that bands played back in those heady times. "The Last Punk On Portobello Road (Ode To Joe)", a lament to Mr Joe Strummer an inspiration to us all. Yes, every picture as they say tells a story, in this case never a truer word spoken.

A double "AA" feature. Mal-One's latest single is again taken from a title of one of his artworks "Kiss Me Punk (till my mouth gets Numb)". The cover of the single is the artwork itself, giving the listener something to contemplate as "The needle hits the plastic, hear those speakers hum" as the lyrics point out. This single does not carry the usual "version" side, but is what Punk Art Records are calling a "Double 'AA' Feature", as the flip side track is the full unedited version of the title track to Mal-One's forthcoming debut album It's All Punk Rock.
