Every day at least one song - Week # 72 (July 27, 2026)
When I started Barstool Revolution I created a Facebook site and generated a daily thread where I would post at least one song a day. With social media sites increasingly useless for self-promotion to generate traffic to sites like this one - unless you are willing to shell out money - I decided to continue the “tradition” right here to add content and to hopefully generate more traffic to the site. Now in its second year I shall continue to post at least one song every day, old and new and of any genre. Stay tuned and check in daily!

Bloody Monday with Bloody Riot it is. The Italian hardcore punk outfit Bloody Riot from Rome came to life in 1981 and disbanded in 1987. In 2001 the band reunited and it seems is still going strong to this day as a new album was just released earlier this month. In 1985 they released a full length on Meccano Records, which was also responsible for releases of some other classic Italian hardcore punk outfits. What I really like about this song is the fact that the band made a fast and furious song into a song over three minutes long. There is even a Wiki entry in Italian about the band. Happy Monday!

Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” started to play in my head around lunch time today; I have really no idea why, but since it’s a great song it can happen. Joan was born in PA but later relocated with her parents to Los Angeles, where at the tenter age of sixteen she was one of the founding members of the Runaways. The rest is history they say, and if you want to learn more about her life, there is plenty of information on the intranet. I enjoy the 1982 live footage of her classic, and so should you. Hopefully everyone had a good Tuesday.

Eskorbuto from Bilbao in the Basque country are without doubt one of the most influential punk rock bands hailing from Spain. They lived what they preached, and were radical in their approach to music, their lifestyle and their lyrics. I give them full credit for that, as most people just mellow out fairly quickly. It should come as no surprise that not all members of the band survived such commitments. I’ve loved Spanish punk for quite some time, but I have to be honest with you that I need to invest more time in Eskorbuto. Happy Wednesday!
