The 2 Tone sound was a great period in the aftermath of punk and included influences taken from Jamaican Ska. Mal-One had already worked on some 2 Tone collages and had them put aside for some future project. He thought it would be fun to record some tracks related to these images and sounds. The first track he recorded was an instrumental track in the style of Harry J All Stars "Liquidator" which he called "Rude Boy Shuffle." Initially to be put out as a stand-alone track on some reggae label of some sort. He had a poem already which he called "Two Tone Story," so put that on top of the "Ska Train Is Back In Town" rhythm which he had put together for another song of that name. Finally "Rude Boys and Rude Girls Listen Up!" came together. Adding to this a couple of dub mixes and comes a six-track 12". Mal-One thought the artwork worked better on a 12" format. Hope you enjoy the outcome.

12 punk rock bedrooms displaying and listing memorabilia from each of the top punk bands. "The bedroom wall and what to cover it with has always been a dilemma through the ages as we reveled in our teenage/rebellious glory. Posters, flyers, ticket stubs badges tour programs and record sleeves. Items we gathered, begged and stole were carried home after sweaty nights in clubs and pubs. Tape and blu tack in hand we tried to find a place to add our new additions. I always thought it would be great to show the punk rock items of what I call 'the class of '76' groups I had gathered over the years in a bedroom setting. Each room could have a different theme. Blondie, Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Damned, Generation X, The Jam, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Stranglers, and maybe a mixed Punk Room with all the above and some smaller bands to fill out the story. Maybe I could then put all that in a book to show the beauty of it all. So I did and here it is. I hope all this madness might bring back some fond memories for you as you flick through these pages." --Mal-One

Featuring new cover artwork with additional 12"x12" print. Mal-One's new five track 12'' offering has broached the tender subject of the bedroom wall and what as a teenager listeners would cover it with. During what we now fondly remember as the Punk Rock period, this would have been the promo posters, gig tickets, flyers, badges, t-shirts -- anything they could find to extend their allegiance to the Punk Rock cause.

As the opening line states in Mal-One's latest single release, "Mr Rotten lead the charge and in many respects took most of the impact." Whether that be from the media, the government, the people or in fact from his own management, his stance and attitude made it all the easier for listeners all to follow through the many doors he pushed open. Although Neil Young mentioned his name in song many years ago, Mal-One felt that his deserved the full nine yards, or three minutes. So here is his heartfelt sonnet to the man. They took his name away and forced him out of the country. The leader of the pack and come judgement day he will be the one who cannot be forgotten.

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.

MALONE 006EP

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.
