Yesterday, Glam Punk stalwarts, The DeRellas – who have more killer hooks than ‘Hellraiser’ and are always a tonne of fun – released their long overdue brand new eleven track album ‘Something’s Got To Give’ on Rockaway Records. It is their first full long player in seven years, if you don’t count the 6-track ‘Freakshow’ 10” green vinyl mini-album/extended EP.
‘Something’s Got To Give’ was produced at Perry Vale Studios by the legendary Pat Collier and the project was funded by a Kickstarter campaign and recorded and produced in lockdown. With razor-sharp vocals from frontman Timmy and The Stooges swagger of Luca’s guitars, ‘Something’s Got To Give’ is glamorous, snarling, raw and urgent.
The release has been more than warmly welcomed in the press, with a handful of choice reviews stating:
“A Trash Talking Sizzling Album” 8/10 – Vive Le Rock
“Just occasionally music can still elicit that primal urge, and “Something’s Got To Give” is one of those moments. Pure sleaze, and purely brilliant.” 9.5/10 – Maximum Volume
“The DeRellas Coming of Age Album” – R.P.M.Its a revolution
“Never Mind The Bollocks “Something’s Got To Give” IS the Bollocks” -Nuzz Prowling Wolf Blog
“Raw and snarling and filled with a Stooges-like guitar swagger and a You-Talkin’-to-Me? attitude, Something’s Got to Give is the album we all so desperately need right now.” – Razor’s Edge Rocks

Since their previous release, the band have been kicking ass in flamboyant style all over the country and tearing the roof off venues across the UK and Europe, from London’s legendary 100 Club (read our review HERE) to the Opera House stage at the world’s best punk festival – Rebellion in Blackpool, where the Brighton & Hove News covered the 4 day 2019 festival and Jimmy Skurvi reported for us: “One Brighton act I did get to see yesterday, who absolutely stormed it, were The DeRellas (2:20pm – 2:55pm ‘Opera House’ stage), they were really good as usual”.
The current line-up features Timmy DeRella, who has the looks of Sid Vicious and Stiv Bators (bass/vocals), Luca DeRella, who is also in Spizzenergi (lead guitar/ backing vocals), Steve Grainger, from Chelsea (drums) and Marky T, ex Sex Pistols Experience (guitar).
The DeRellas are tight and locked on and are already to host a gig here in Brighton and they are inviting you along for the dirty rock’n’roll ride. The Glam Punk bash will be taking place at The Prince Albert, 48 Trafalgar Street, Brighton, BN1 4ED on Thursday 2nd December 2021.
Support for this exciting night will come from the rather wonderful Scare Taxi.
Circa 2015, Tara, unable to make enough noise alone, cajoled Boag to play guitar on her songs. The clash of sounds made perfect sense…they named it Trash Rock!
Fast forward to August 2017, Scare Taxi debuted at The Wedding Present’s ‘Edge of the Sea Festival’ and have played with Electric Six, Membranes, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, S*M*A*S*H, Art Brut, Ed Borrie, The DeRellas, The Ramonas, and taking in festivals and the legendary Hope & Anchor along the way.
Brighton based Scare Taxi are Boag and Tara. The band has an eclectic former gene pool. No politics or hidden agendas here, just a penchant for style, energy, tunes and the occasional deputy drummer!
Their debut album ‘Death By Music’ is available now and was released digitally worldwide on January 17th 2020.
