With humble apologies to the creators of the iconic NOW series of compilations that began in 1983, I posted and compiled the first WOW That’s What I Call Mayhem collection back in March, with volume 2 following just a few weeks ago. So are you ready for volume 3? I certainly hope so, because here it is! This includes the third 20 singles we reviewed in 2024 in another maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With 70 minutes of music, click here and lose yourself in the music!

21st-century punk is alive and well and being delivered hard by North Carolina’s Totally Slow on their epic new single “Pistol Whip”. It opens with a tsunami of mighty riffs and just sweats punk ethos and sound. The vocals are laconic and reminiscent of late 70s classic UK punk. The lyrics are rather special too, I particularly love the lines “You are not an exorcist, Cryptic pre-contortionist. So do your best. Pistol whipped“. Anyone who can use the words contortionist and exorcist in a song with such style will always get my vote! Their fourth album ‘The Darkness Intercepts’ will be out later this month. Based on the evidence of “Pistol Whip” it will be immense!
