Thee Mighty Caesars \u2014 punk raconteur Billy Childish\u2019s interim band between the retro-revivalism of the Milkshakes and his ultimate rock & roll expression in Thee Headcoats \u2014 were the ideal bridge between the Shakes\u2019 stylish, loyal Merseybeat revivalism and the fully-functioning threadbare punk-rock cathartic songwriting Childish began wielding like a rusty knife once Thee Headcoats had formed. Even though the aesthetic trappings were the most ridiculous of any of Childish\u2019s outfits (the band was pictured and, presumably, performed in togas with leaf wreathes donning their noggins) Thee Caesars allowed him a forum for making a transition between rocker and artist. English Punk Rock Explosion!, a greatest hits compilation, was the only Mighty Caesars album to capture the full scope of this rock & roll culture collision. From brutal guitar instrumentals such as \u201cDeath of a Mighty Caesar,\u201d with it\u2019s tribal beat and percussive guitar, to the first recording of the nihilist, venom-spewing anthem \u201cYou Make Me Die,\u201d English Punk Rock Explosion! is an unrelenting parade of melodic-yet-raw diamonds in the rough. While this may have been Childish\u2019s least prolific and shortest-lived band, this is a crucial document of DIY punk\u2019s (ancient?) history. Full of all the hubris of youth and tempered by the wisdom of a jaded experience, Thee Mighty Caesars were a force with which to be reckoned.<\/p>\n
