Neo-rockabilly
band Restless have been on the scene, on and off, for twenty years and
with the passing of time have become a band with cult status. Their
earliest singles have become collectors items, mainly because they sold
woefully small quantities compared to what similar bands were selling at
the time. If they'd have cut an album with Dave Edmunds in the early
'80s like the Polecats and Stray Cats did I'm sure they could have made a
bigger impression. The main man of the group is undoubtedly singer and
guitarist Mark Harman. He's an exceptional guitar, rightly acclaimed as
one of the best in the rockabilly world.
The band formed in Ipswich in the late seventies when teenagers Mark and his brother Paul were joined by Ben Cooper who'd moved to the area from London. Whilst the brothers had been picking away at the classics, Cooper pointed them in the direction of the lessor known acts like Charlie Feathers and Sonny Fisher. Depending who's story you listen to, the name Restless came from either the Carl Perkins or Johnny Kidd and the Pirates song.
They made their live debut in April 1980 at Springlands Social Hall in Sudbury, Suffolk with Mark Harman suffering from stage fright. The next gig came a couple of weeks later in Colchester but they were blown away by the Rockin' Shades. Unperturbed, they continued to practise and write some original numbers. Among their earliest efforts were Ghost Town, Long Winding River, Hightime, Blackat, Leaving This Town and one of the greatest rockabilly songs of the last twenty years, Ice Cold.
They played a sort of audition gig for Roy Williams of Nervous Records at the Royalty in Southgate, London, supporting the Deltas who were already recording for Nervous. The net result was a single in 1981 (Ghost Town, Leaving This Town and Long Winding River) being issued on the Sunrock label of Sweden via a licensing deal with Nervous. With only 400 copies pressed, the record sold out immediately and today sell for over Ł100. Things were kicking off well so they started work on their debut album.
Roy Williams remembers, "I was DJ at The Royalty. I was also running Nervous Records, and had signed up and released an album by The Deltas. I honestly can't remember them 'auditioning for Nervous' at The Royalty, although they may well have backed up The Deltas there. I know they played together on a Rockhouse festival, 'cos I went with them. A lot of this is, I must admit, an alcoholic blur. I have a poor memory of the period 1978-1984 ...
Restless were brought to my attention by a guy I used to know called Bob Plumb who was playing double bass in a band called 'Rockhouse' with Driftin Den on drums..... I'd produced a couple of tracks by them for another label, and he told me about this 'new young group with a wizard guitarist'. He thought they'd be the kind of thing that I liked, so I told him to tell them to send me a demo. Most of that demo was later released as 'The early years' album. I thought they were brilliant! I played the demos to a lot of people including Tony Martin of Red Hot Records, who at the time was getting involved with The Blue Cat Trio. He told me that the guitarist was 'too busy going doo-lally with it'. This just made me more interested!
Anyway, audition or not, I signed 'em up and made the first album in the same studio that they'd done their demos in. It wasn't the best equipped and was in a converted barn on the middle of nowhere, but it was one of the easiest to produce and most enjoyable albums I've been involved with."
The album, Why Don't You Just Rock! is a neo-rockabilly classic. I loved it at the time and still play it on a regular basis. Despite the quality of the album, the band felt that they didn't always get a fair crack of the whip in some venues because of their percieved lack of respect for the original 50's sound. To quote from their website, "Thankfully a whole new scene, probably fronted by The Polecats and the new Bluecats called NEO-rockabilly had exploded on the continent, especially in Holland (where they did they first gig abroad for the now legendary Rockhouse festival in Eindoven). Belgium, France, and Sweden also had a growing 'NEO' scene so the band inevitably headed there. It was a good time because fans across the water didn't care if Restless played their own style of rock 'n' roll, they just got into it anyway. One minute the boys could be playing Gene Vincent's "Pretty Pretty Baby", and the next they could be ripping into Bens' "It's a scam!" This was freedom not allowed in England 'till much later. Note perfect covers were still the order of the day and it would only be much later that Restless would be accepted and 'allowed' to bridge the gaps". They played the now legendary venues like the Klubfoot, Brixton Academy, Hammersmith Palais, Lyceum and the Town And Country supporting bands like The Damned, Spear Of Destiny, The Pogues, The Clash and the Ramones.
After the second Nervous album, Do You Feel Restless, brothers Mark and Paul fell out, resulting in Paul leaving the group to be replaced by Jeff Bayly. Mr Blues a cover of the Marvin Rainwater track, reached number 4 on the independent chart, a fine achievement. The band's sound altered with the addition of guitarist Mick Malone, who'd just toured with Dave Phillips. They signed with ABC and their profile went through the roof. They pushed the album After Midnight and the singles Somebody Told Me and Just A Friend with appearances on Radio 1's Saturday Night. Despite these minor successes it was obvious that they'd lost control over their sound.
Further albums were issued and line-up changes took place, including the addition of Frenzy's Steve Whitehouse on bass. The trend has continued with the band disbanding then reforming. They have toured all over the world and frequently release new product. Although they play very few dates nowadays, their appearance is always a guaranteed showstopper.
The Lost Sessions
This is a brilliant straight ahead rockabilly outing with a dozen covers of much loved classics that for the most part came to the UK's consciousness during the 70's rockabilly revival. Mark Harman's vocals are spot on and his guitar playing is mind-blowing. Listen to the playing on things like All The Time, Break Up and Black Magic and soak up one of the genres best at work. Picking a favourite is hard but I'd probably go for Morse Code. It's an unrelenting album and is one to please both the rockers and the psychos.

Restless fue formado en 1978 por Mark Harman (genio de la guitarra y
cantante principal, además de compositor), Paul Harman (el hermano) en
contrabajo, y Ben Cooper (batería y percusión). El nombre de la banda viene de una canción de Carl Perkins.
En 1981 sacan el EP «Restless», en una edición limitada de 400 ejemplares. Luego de publicar ‘Why Don’t You Just Rock!’, la banda estuvo tocando en el circuito habitual del rock ‘n roll por todo Inglaterra. Pero Restless tocaba con su propio estilo y fueron, sin duda, una de las más influyentes bandas del Neo-Rockabilly británico.
Jeff Bayly reemplazó a Paul en 1984 y Restless copó los Charts independientes de Gran Bretaña con «Mr. Blues».

Jeff Bayly reemplazó a Paul en 1984 y Restless copó los Charts independientes de Gran Bretaña con «Mr. Blues».
En 1986 Restless optó por una segunda guitarra, y así se sumó al grupo Mick Malone.
Luego de la partida de Bayly y Cooper, Restless quiso disolverse. Pero la incorporación del ex-Frenzy/ ex-Sharks Steve Whitehouse (contrabajo) los volvió a la ruta. En 1989 Rob Tyler, uno de los más conocidos bateristas de rockabilly, también se unió a su compañero Mark Harman.
En 1998 Restless tocó su «último» show en Londres sólo para volver en 2002 CON LA FORMACIÓN ORIGINAL, que se había dividido en 1984.

Eu nunca tive um problema com você e poderia continuar não tendo. Você deveria não ter praticado linchamento virtual no grupo de toxicologia, igual você não praticou há três anos, quando a Gabriela Santana Andrade mandou a amiga dela do curso de pedagogia chamada Ana Beatriz Procession Guimarães, entrar no grupo de Analítica um se passando por uma tal de Simone. Naquele dia a "Simone", a Gabriela e os amigos dela da atlética de farmácia ficaram me humilhando por causa de IC. Eu perguntei por que ninguém estava me defendendo do linchamento virtual. A Jéssica Mel da Silva Faria respondeu que eu estava no Fundão e a faculdade de direito ficava no centro, ou seja, como vocês faziam farmácia e não direito, vocês não precisavam me defender.
ReplyDeleteSó que dessa vez você resolveu praticar linchamento virtual no grupo de toxicologia, o que aconteceu dessa vez, você perdeu a sua bolsa de IC, ficou com tempo livre para praticar linchamento virtual no grupo de Whatsapp ou o professor Alessandro descobriu que você é um covarde, que pratica linchamento virtual em grupo do Whatsapp?
Para mim você sempre foi um aluno que fez iniciação científica com um professor que explica mal à beça. Você não é capaz de me enfrentar diretamente, você vive correndo para debaixo da saia da Gabriela Santana Andrade, você parece até aquelas crianças pequena, que fazem as coisas de errado e corre para debaixo da saia da mãe. Eu sei tudo sobre você, eu achei o seu perfil no Instagram e no Linkedin:
https://www.instagram.com/c.alves15/
https://br.linkedin.com/in/carlos-alberto-santos-alves-7b0697239
Você é muito corajoso para praticar linchamento virtual em grupo do Whatsapp, mas me vê pessoalmente na faculdade e não fala uma palavra comigo, isso acontece porque você não vai poder se esconder embaixo da saia da Gabriela Santana Andrade no mundo real, igual você fez no grupo de toxicologia. Você ainda vem me ameaçar com cadeia. Aqui no meu bairro, os bandidos roubaram tanto os cabos do semáforo, que a prefeitura desistiu de consertar o semáforo, a prefeitura resolveu desinstalar ele e colocar uma rotatória para substituir o semáforo. Aqui no meu bairro, quem manda é o crime organizado. A polícia que não conseguiu impedir que os bandidos roubassem os cabos do semáforo, também não vai me levar para cadeia, não existe duas policiais, a polícia é uma só. Eu estou esperando um e-mail da coordenação da farmácia e o meu mandado de prisão. Você não procurou a coordenação da farmácia e nem procurou a polícia, porque você não tem nenhuma prova contra mim. Nem você, nem a Gabriela Santana Andrade e nem a Ana Beatriz de Lima. Vocês não passam de um bando covarde.
Mas também você é amigo do Guilherme de Sousa Barbosa. Ano passado, o Guilherme ameaçou me bater mesmo sem eu ter feito nada contra ele. O Guilherme nunca falou comigo na faculdade, a única vez que ele veio falar comigo é para ameaçar me bater. Depois que o Guilherme ameaçou me bater mesmo sem eu ter feito nada contra ele. A Camilly Enes Trindade, a Ana Clara Gomes de Oliveira, a Ana Carolina Vieira Metello, a Bruna Coelho de Almeida, a Giulia Amarante de Almeida Mussi da Silva, o Jakson Barros Bonfim, a Leticia de Sousa Albuquerque, o Nathan Genovez Dias de Fonseca e o Vinicius Gomes Gadini foram fazer queixinha sobre mim na coordenação da farmácia.
Por causa dessa queixinha, algum FDP da coordenação da farmácia da UFRJ vazou as minhas informações pessoais para uma pessoa, que nem me conhece, que nunca fez uma disciplina junto comigo e que já concluiu o curso de farmácia. Se esse FDP achou que iria me calar, ele pode ter certeza que ele não conseguiu, eu nunca vou me calar em frente às injustiças. Se esse FDP morasse aqui na minha rua, os traficantes já mandariam esse FDP subir até a boca de fumo. Os traficantes não gostam nada de gente, que faz as coisas para sacanear os outros. Aqui em frente a minha casa funciona um ferro velho clandestino, que fornece material furtado para os traficantes fazerem barricadas.
