I-ATTACK - American Dream 7" EP (Criminal IQ Rec.) 6 Euro
I Attack throw bulldozers at you while skating in an empty swiming pool at some rich bastard's mansion while they're away. They carry on the hardcore attitude and sonic assault that Los Crudos and others hatched in Pilsen eons ago (even capturing Jose Crudos for being one mangler in their guitar tag team) with some 80's skate punk mixed in. They would be one of the better bands featured on a Mystic Records compilation if they were from the 80s. Rob shoots cynical venom all over the four originals criticizing the political spectrum of capitalism, fashion over substance followers, and anyone else that makes him get off his board! I Attack question everything which can only be healthy in a society that forces people to accept a miserable repressive and oppressive existence as the pre condition for "sanity"; I Attack still shows "Security is a dread disease." They also cover Impulse Manslaughter which is another reason to get this you fans of old underrated Chicago hardcore bands.
ICOS - Walk With Me LP (Wasted Sounds Rec.) 10,50 EuroWhen looking for gems in Swedish music scene this band somehow often got forgot. Icos is working in the area between Neurosis / Isis style of metal and Hardcore punk as From Ashes Rise, Acursed or His Hero is Gone without loosing the feeling of Punk. Icos is getting more and more active as a live act and has recently toured Germany and is now planning a new Germany tour for autumn 2007 and a southern European tour for spring 2008. This band should not be missed on neither live or recorded as they delivers crushing darkness from Sweden. They will release a new LP on Alerta Antifacista this fall.
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL (review of CD version):
Moody, burly metallic-core from Gothenburg, with the dark edge of HIS HERO IS GONE, but filtered through nu-school REFUSED/metal-style breakdowns and guitar sheen, with plenty of interesting quiet melodic parts that turn to full force heavy crunch or hardcore attack. This makes for some distinctively creative and freat music, similar to the last ACURSED LP in tone and intensity, but marred by a consistent "cast out of the pit of hell" vocal garbling that works against the subtleties of their music by remaining consistently "intense" throughout "the ..1 pitfall of monster vocals). It works in enough parts for a remarkably solid nine-song debute.(Ken Sanderson)
IDIOTAS, LOS - Tengo Una Biblia En Casa 7" (Iekk! Sounds Rec.) limd. 424 copies 5,45 EURIS-001 Congratulation!!! GREAT label start from our spanish pal Raul!!! LOS IDIOTAS from Valladolid comes this crazy dou of high energy rock'n garage punk in the style of DIGGER AND THE PUSSYCATS meets SINGING DOGS that won't dissapoint you! Two songs sung in english yeah, yeah & feelin' alright and one song in spanish tengo una biblia en casa
IDLE HANDS - Postponed LP (Hardware Rec.) 10,50 EURIf idleness warps the mind, than there's still the heart and the soul.
There's plenty of both on this first full-length delivery by the four rockers from Münster and Osnabrück who are also on duty in MISSING SHADOWS and PRESS GANG.
Expectations were flying high up there in Punkrock heaven after the first 7'' ran hot on everyone's record spinner and the boys really managed to increase the density of hits on this non-stop 14-song long big plate that already ranges as candidate for 'record of the year'!!!
Powerful bass lines and a dry and driving beat in the best PEGBOY meets the MARKED MEN way in a harmonious alliance with the STATUES guitar lines and that fantastic, part melancholic, part cheerful vocal melodies make that an easy decision.
From the pounding and revolting opener ''Have hope'' to the socio-critical ''Make it better'', the alcoholic lament ''Endless war'' on the first side over to the catchy ''Waiting for my statue'', the somehow slower and cool marcher ''Alloy'', the faster self-help hymn ''Officious attempts'' right to the perfect and positive closing tune ''New ways'' this record comes straight from the heart and speaks with a mind!
We help the band and Hardware Records to distribute the LP around the world, so distros feel free to ask us here at P.Trash for wholesale-deals!!!
IDLE HANDS - Volatile Matters 7" (Rockstar Rec.) 4,90 EURHIGHLY RECOMMENDED, very limd. repress with red/orange silkscreen sleeves!!! After one hell of a debut 7" and a supercool full length, Münster/Osna's new achievers IDLE HANDS don't hang in and present a brandnew 4 song e.p., wrapped in a fancy screenprint-cover! We are really thrilled of these loons and never met anybody into Wipers, Jawbreaker, Statues, Husker Dü or the likes who wasn't!

IDYLS - I Can`t Stand The Idyls LP (Ken Rock Rec.) 9,00 Euro
ILLS, THE - I Kill Me 7" (No Front Teeth Rec.) 5,15 EuroILLS, THE - I Kill Me 7" (No Front Teeth Rec.) Limd. version dif. sleeve 9,90 Euro
No Front Teeth spews out another killer garage punk release in the classic Rip Off Records style... think the raw rock ‘n’ roll of Loli and the Chones, The Lids, the Spastics and the Zodiac Killers – stripped down, fuzzed out and catchy as a dose of the clap. These Iowa City brats crank out wild and primitive punk rock that will make you want to drink a couple bottle of cough syrup, pop the cheapest pills you can get and maybe even lick some batteries, yep, you’ll want to make yourself ill. No friends, no talent no songs over a minute and a half... is there a doctor in the house?! Ladies and germs... we give you The Ills. There are two different covers for this. The regular sleeve is the ripped photograps and the limited version (100) is the high heels and microphone printed on clear plastic and pressed on mauve wax.
IMAGINARY ICONS - Debut 7" (Daggerman Rec.) 5,75 Euro
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Black vinyl - four different covers - silver on black, blue on red, pink on brown, orange on green. All versions in stock!! With ex-members of the SHOP FRONTS, MhZ, and the TIE REDS! Killer art-punk in the vein of WIRE, SWELL MAPS, early HOMOSEXUALS...
IMAGINARY ICONS - Off The Grid 7" (Plastic Idol Rec.) 5,00 EuroBrooklyn, New York's Imaginary Icons feature a cast that includes members of the DISSIMILARS, the SHOP FRONTS, MHz, the TIE REDS, and more. Their debut single, released in 2006, was a snappy affair that channeled the spirit of post-punk, rather than the no-holds-barred garage-isms of their past. "Off The Grid" b/w "Fun With Capital" is another stellar effort in a similar vein, albeit even more far-reaching. The title track is a jangly proto-punker with a zippy groove, accented by helium-inflected vox and skronky sax; "Fun With Capital" makes effective use of barked lines, brittle guitars, and buzzing synths to drive home the point. Pressed in an edition of 500 copies on Coke bottle clear wax.
IMAGINARY ICONS - Same 12" (Daggerman Rec.) 12,50 EuroNew York’s Imaginary Icons churn out an awesome blend of 70s brit-punk, wavey synth-skronk and d.i.y. pop and create their own unique sound. 7 songs on 500 hand-stamped and hand-numbered copies.
IMMATERIAL - 3 Track 7" (Plastic Spoons Rec.) 5,75 EUR2nd EP by this Parisian duo, featuring VOLT /PLUTON -member FX and female singer Sandrine. 3 raging tracks of distorted, fuzzy, and blown-out Garage--Synth-Punk with harsh guitars ! In a similar vein as VOLT or BLACK BUG, may be less dark and cold but even more twisted. Comes with great ELZO DURT artwork!
IMMORTAL LEE COUNTY KILLERS - Big Damn Roach 7" (Homo Habilis Rec.) 20,00 Euro

Rare clear-yellow wax edit.
IMMORTAL LEE COUNTY KILLERS - Turn On The Panther (Sweet Nothing Rec.) 6,00 Euro
IMPO & THE TENTS - Same LP (Alleycat Rec.) 11,75 EURHIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Pop Punk songs like "Bubblegum Machine" or "Ugly Girls" will make you flipping out on the dance floor like an injured animal! File under HUNX & HIS PUNX fixed with swedish poppy songwriting like MANIKINS or MAKE OUTS!
What if John Lennon was a crappy guitarist, Paul McCartney had a decent voice, Ringo was a little girl …and the other guy wasn't around? Well, I don't know. However, this is IMPO & THE TENTS from Stockholm, Sweden, made up by three poorly dressed individuals; Rune - vocals/bass, Danne - guitar and Sanna - drums. We play dance-friendly punk or unfriendly pop or maybe "garage". Being a stupid asshole/sore loser and wining about it is a never-ending resource for fine lyrics too. The songs are short, so if you don't like them, they're over before you know it. If you do like them on the other hand, there's sixteen of them! The album also includes covers of songs by The ASTRONAUTS and CARDIAC KIDZ. The record Is recorded by the band and released by Alleycat Records. Enough said, now please go ahead and pump up your crackly computer speakers with the crummy mp3´s you downloaded, instead of buying this fantastic record (Thanks though, if you did!)?!

IMPOSTERS - Animal Magnetism LP (Dead Beat Rec.) 13,25 EURComplete edit. comes with a special inner-sleeve !!! This LP rips!!! So many modern bands have has been described as surf punk, but almost all of them fall short. The one band that comes to mind that truly fits that description is Hermosa Beach's THE IMPOSTERS. Raised on bands like AGENT ORANGE, the ADOLESCENTS, the GEARS and JFA, THE IMPOSTERS impecably revive a sound that hasn't been done justice in many many years. Through snarling bouncy riffs and shredded wasted nights, THE IMPOSTERS carve out 13 nasty anthems of surf infected punk rock . If bands like the Simpletones, Sick Pleasure, Agent Orange, Red Kross or Negative Trend mean anything to ya, than this one's definately right up yer alley.

IMPULSE INTERNATIONAL - Arm the girls 7" (Deranged Rec.) 5,00 EuroFrom the ashes of DIRT BIKE ANNIE (Dirtnap Records) comes the IMPULSE INT'L, a trio from New Jersey that delivers 2 excellent guitar driven powerpop gems. They mix the guitar hooks of the REAL KIDS with the upbeat tempo of UK powerpopers the BUZZCOCKS. Nothing complicated, just really catchy punk!
IMPULSE INTERNATIONAL - Point Of Action LP (Deranged Rec.) 12,50 EURFrom the ashes of DIRT BIKE ANNIE (Dirtnap Records) comes the IMPULSE, INT’L. – a trio from New Jersey by way of Florida that delivers an album's worth of excellent guitar driven powerpop gems. They mix the guitar hooks of the REAL KIDS with the upbeat tempo of UK powerpopers the BUZZCOCKS. Nothing complicated, just really catchy punk! CD format on Dirtnap.
INDECISION ALARM - Self-Titled CD-DIGIPAK + limited posters (Tic Tac Totally Rec.) 10,00 EUR
(TTT-004) Sort of like Propagandhi, I-Spy, Husker Du, Minor Threat and Face to Face stuck in a Swedish blender somewhere (uh...Sweden?). Very technical. A forceful but also melodic debut effort. Lots of harmonies with theguitars and vocals, but strong delivery. Might be too polished for some, but I gaurantee it's packing a punch and a bark under the calculating music too.

INDIAN WARS - Walk Around The Park LP (Bachelor Rec.) 12,50 EURINDIAN WARS are a 5 piece band from Vancouver, Canada, that will take you on an all-night-headlamps-off journey through the clearcut woods of your terminal boredom affected brains and keep driving on until the bright shining dawn of June 21, when the earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun. Or, more technically, when the sun enters zero degrees of the zodiac sign Cancer, and astral solar power is amplified. One month and three weeks previous to this shortening of nights and lengthening of days, BACHELOR RECORDS will release upon the masses the bands inaugural LP, “WALK AROUND THE PARK,” (recorded by Felix Fung at Little Red Sounds). It will include 13 original tracks inscribed onto a flat black disc and housed in a sturdy gatefold sleeve depicting, among other things, a nude photo of the band.

INSOMNIO - No Escape LP (Audiogorilla Rec.) 10,75 Euro10 pieces of fresh classical Punk Rock in the vein of ADOLESCENTS, CIRCLE JERKS and stuff, but you can hear some DEAD BOYS in their sound. NO ESCAPE blows your mind!!! Something fresh, catchy, snotty and still raw from spain!!! There is also a STOOGES Cover on here.
INSOMNIO - Walking On The String 7" (No Way Rec.) 4,50 EURFour songs of killer Spanish punk for fans of old punk/hc where the song matters a little more than the noise. Catchy as hell, but still hardcore in the way that REAGAN YOUTH, BLITZ, and DESCENDENTS were. This is also a must have for fans of newer bands like PELIGRO SOCIAL or NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS. Their LP is absolutely killer, and this was recorded at the very same time. KILLER 7".
INSPECTOR LUV AND... - Soulstep 7" (Aroma Rec.) 4,00 Euro
INTELLIGENCE - Crepuscule With Pacman LP (Born Bad Rec.) 13,50 EURINTELLIGENCE - Crepuscule With Pacman CD (Born Bad Rec.) 13,50 EUR
The promo hasnt left my turntable for the last two days. Cannot wait for the In The Red LP. Minimalist dance anthems for the post apocolyptic factory worker.
INTELLIGENCE - Deuteronomy LP (In The Red Rec.) 11,90 Euro (release date 9/17/07)If musicians painted images with their instruments, The Intelligence's soundscapes would be set in a grainy, ash-gray world, among piles of scrap metal and busted machinery, with discarded computer parts blinking in cobwebbed corners and factories belching out toxins at irregular intervals. It'd be a black-andwhite wasteland of humanity, a post-apocalyptic industrial revolution, warmed only by the distant loops of a delayed, disembodied guitar riff. At the center of it all would be Lars Finberg, delivering deadpan lines like 'Going out with you is like going out with a cop.' He'd be pounding bent garbage-can lids with one hand and programming distorted beats on his keyboard with the other, a one-man laboratory of intoxicating post-punk experimentation. The music is so jagged and cinematically poetic and dusted in clouds of lo-fi noise that listening to it at different times can conjure completely different visions. It's par for the course for Finberg, who has participated in some of Seattle's most exciting musical forces such as the A-Frames and The Dipers. The Intelligence are demanding attention in and beyond the Northwest, creating a new direction in sound based on the fundamental elements of bands like The Fall and PiL, yet beneath the post-punk clang lies a serious pop sensibility. These pop chops have never been more noticeable than on Deuteronomy, the band's third full-length. Finberg swears that The Zombies' Odyssey and Oracle as well as early Bee Gees albums influenced his direction, though it sounds like Here Come The Warm Jets might've had a hand in it as well. Finberg also chose, for the first time, to forego the home recording approach he's used in the past and employed the use of Mike McHugh and his Distillery recording studio to get the most full-bodied, fully realized Intelligence recording to date.
INTELLIGENCE - Fake Surfers LP (In The Red Rec.) 12,50 EURFake Surfers, the fourth album by Seattle’s prolific and sacred Intelligence, an industrial/pop music crossover seems as unlikely as a black metal/country conglomeration. Lars Finberg, who performs here as The Intelligence, makes experimental post-punk rock weighted down by paranoia. As the bolts-and-bolts drummer of A-Frames, he builds songs off goose-stepping beats and coded lyrics. Like pop that has been wiretapped, shocked, and muzzled, whereas the A-Frames are a robot’s guess at how rock music sounds. The Intelligence has faint whiffs of Swell Maps, Tronics, and Wire’s Chairs Missing, though Fake Surfers is more relaxed and evenly paced than any previous releases. The sole cover on the album, “Pony People” by LA’s Wounded Lion, has been stripped down to an acoustic pop ditty. This is by far the best Intelligence release yet...until the next one.
INTELLIGENCE - Fido... 7" (Plastic Idol Rec.) 5,50 EURINTELLIGENCE front man Lars Finberg is a crafty son of a bitch. When he's not busy perfecting his brand of infectious avant-pop, he's putting his stamp on old favorites he didn't write and breathing into them new life. With this single, Lars brings together songs by the MAGNETIC FIELDS and the SPITS. The A-side, which finds Lars ditching the original's chirpy disposition in favor of a blown-out haze, is the biggest surprise of the two. "Shitty World," however, lives up to its status as a retardo-rock anthem--and thank goodness for that. Somewhere, the Wood brothers are smiling. Mastered by Weasel Walter.
INTELLIGENCE - I'm Your Taxi/No Nurses/If I Had A Hammer 7" (Holy Cobra Society Rec.) 5,90 EuroWe got a handful of the long sold out 7" from 2006, 1st comes 1st!!!
The INTELLIGENCE is a lo-fi post-punk rock band from Seattle, founded by Lars Finberg, drummer of the A FRAMES. The INTELLIGENCE first toured in Europe in 2006 and had this 7" in their bags when they opened two shows for The FALL at CMJ.
INTELLIGENCE - Males LP (In The Red Rec.) 14,75 EURMales is the sixth full-length release from Seattle, Washington’s The "INTELLIGENCE". This time, main-brain Lars Finberg ditched his usual method of recording all the instruments himself and had his current touring band play on it - Susannah Welbourne, Beren Ekine Huett (Eat Skull) and Chris Woodhouse (Mayyors, FM Knives, Karate Party), who also served as the record’s producer. Hopefully this will still be the current line up by the time you read this. The results are as powerful as a punch in the face by Mike Tyson but with the velvet touch of a dandy fop. Marrying buzzsaw punk, DIY post-punk, ramshackle garage (as in played by The Fall - not the Chesterfield Kings), and pop hooks aplenty, Males is The INTELLIGENCE’s finest statement to date.
INTELLECTUALS - Miss Johnny 7" (Hell, Yes Rec.) 5,90 EURRare limd 200 copies. LOST SOUNDS/RIVER CITY TANLINES meets VELVET UNDERGROUND in a dark room... 1st comes 1st!!!

If you ask me ? It`s the BEST SoS release ever!!! Defunct Canadian Garage Punkrawk from 1997. Schoolyard Justice / If You Can't Rock Me (R Nelson) / What's My Name / On My Face, Limd 500.
IS - Ostentatiously White one-sided 12" (Rococo Rec.) (ltd to 150 Club Edit.) 17,75 EUR"Ostentatiously White" is an assault of abrasive elements dedicated to the active listener. Utilizing turntables, found sounds, pedal noise, home built circuits, vocal disembodiment's and other various gadgetry's; this is not to be taken seriously in the most serious of times.
INVASION - La Caza 12" (La Vida Es Un Mus Rec.) 11,50 EUR"That storm you hear at the outset is a warning for the ferocity to follow. Madrid’s Invasion stick the three-chord approach to hardcore with so many left turns – so much reverb on the vocals that it sounds like the singer is attacking himself, long pauses for ambience, non-instrument noises, and unsteady percussion that rapidly shifts upgear – that their take on the genre sounds both as it should (a tornado of masonry, heading towards unprotected bodies) and as they will it. Poor, crackly mastering somehow adds to the obfuscated desperation present in their sound, and amplifies the desperation and anger roaming through their sound and politic. Dirty and mean and unforgiving. Packaged in an oversized, screened cardboard sleeve." --Doug Mosurock, Dusted Magazine--
INVASION - Same LP (La Vida Es Un Mus Rec.) 11,50 EURINVASION from Barcelona bring us 10 tracks of claustrophobic, intense, noisy and chaotic hardcore. Influenced equally by DISCHARGE and old Italian and Japanese bands their debut LP is a mix of pure anguish and anger. Their sound is dirty and direct and the vocal delivery is extremely crazy, using delay and echo effects that together with a primal recording and production create an atmosphere of pure desperation.
INVASIONEN - Arvegods 12" (Ny Vag Rec.) 10,50 EURInvasionen is back with a 4-song 12". 4 tracks of dark moody and infectious postpunk. A limited edition 12" of 500 Copies. Invasionen released their first full-length last year to critical acclaim in Sweden. This September they will release a new full-lenght and this 12" features one song from the new record, Arvegods, and 3 unreleased songs, 1 which was recorded for the Swedish tv-show Kobra. The new 12" features a bigger and fuller sound than before. When the last record was in the vein of more classic Swedish punk the new one has a more postpunk sound in the vein of bands like ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, THE SOUND, KILLING JOKE, JOY DIVISION, THE CHAMELEONS, TT REUTER, THE CURE and maybe a pinch of NEU. Invasionen is Dennis Lyxzén on Vocals and Guitar. (The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Refused, Ac4, The Lost Patrol Band and more) Andre Sandström on drums and vocals. (Tristess, The Vicious, Ds-13, The Lost Patrol Band and more) Anders Stenberg on guitar and vocals. (Deportess, Lykke Li, The Lost Patrol Band and more. And newcomer Richard Österman on bass.

INVASIONEN - Hela Världen Brinner LP (Ny Vag Rec.) 11,50 EURDistributed by P.Trash Records!!!
After 2 great records and a 7" as the LOST PATROL BAND the band decided two years ago to change both language and direction. Choosing the name INVASIONEN and going for a sound more grounded in swedish music tradition. With influences from the late 70's Swedish punk scene mixed with early new wave sounds and good old fashioned rock 'n roll they've created a sound that is both old school, familiar and new.
"Hela Världen Brinner" was recorded in Dennis house out on the countryside outside of Umeå in true DIY fashion. The same studio where AC4, REGULATIONS and MATTHIAS ALKBERG recorded their latest records. Mixed by Måns Lundberg (TRISTESS, REGULATIONS and DEPORTEES).
After releasing records and playing in bands for the last 18 years this is the first time Dennis is singing in his native tongue, giving the lyrics a depth and meaning beyond the ordinary. "Hela Världen Brinner" is 13 songs about growing up and dealing with the rules that both we ourselves and the world around us has set. Both more political and personal before the lyrics have a nerve that is most unique.

IRON VIRGIN - Same LP (Rave Up Rec.) 11,90 EURIRON VIRGIN was a 70's glam proto punk band who were formed in Edinburgh, Scotland. Back in 1973, Decca assigned their best producer, Nick Tauber, who produced THIN LIZZY (The Boys Are Back in Town) and many others...to scour Scotland for a new band for the Deram (Decca) label. He came to a small town in Scotland to listen to the band and, at the end of the show, he said that this wa the best live band he’d seen since The Move! So the band went down to London to record some demos in West Hampstead studio. Consequently, the band was signed to Decca Records, that released their great two singles, both ‘classics’ for ‘70’s UK r’n’r glam fans. This definitive antholgy, wich contains also unreleased tracks, is the definitive tribute to one of the best bands of that decade!!!

Limd. 100 "P.Trash Club" Edit. comes in green wax fixed into pop up poster-covers! 13,50 Euro
Album seconde by French Punks IRRITONES is another érection du 12 inch with more of their dadaistic Haiku-Punk. Minimalistic, driving, wired and hyped up. A celebration of hedonistic primitivism packed into 10 new meldodic and stripped-down songs with driving bass lines, minimal guitar work and Olivier's very own sick poetry franglais.
The cover versions ABWÄRTS' 80s hit ''Computerstaat'' and French 70s Punk band's STRYCHNINE's B-side ''Lache moi'' perfectly match the style and sound of the whole record.
If the IRRITONES had to write this review themselves it would be: DEAD SOUNDS ALL AROUND US / PLASTIC WORLD MADE ME DO THIS / MON PUNK EST PAS NOUVEAU / YOUR PUNK SMELLS PUTRID / FRESH CLEAN TOWELS WON'T CLEAN / VOMIT OFF THE FACE OF A MARKETING COMPANY.
La France du Rock'n'Roll est une charogne. And the sound of the IRRITONES creeps out out of le cadavre of a dead underground. Punk with a capital P!

Awesome 70s influenced punk, quite minimalistic, sometimes very melodic, but also very refreshing.
