OBLIVIAN'S, JACK - Rat City LP (Big Legal Mess Rec.) 15,90 EURThough he doesn’t get the attention of his OBLIVIANS bandmate Greg Cartwright, Jack Yarber, aka Jack Oblivian, has a growing catalog of strong recordings as well, of which ''Rat City'' is the latest. Yarber’s mojo works in much the same vein as his compadre’s, with a similar emphasis on garage R&B (the title tune, “Caboose Jump,” Slim Green‘s “Old Folks Boogie”) and no-frills Pop (“Girl On the Beach,” “Jealous Heart,” “Girl With the Bruises”) that sounds like Mink DeVille with a $20 budget. He also adds some mild psychedelia with “Moses and Me” and a cheeky yet reverent cover of Billy Swan‘s “Lover Please!” Working with a variety of musicians (including fellow traveler John Paul Keith), Yarber eschews fancy production or any kind of slick veneer – every tune sounds like he and the musicians set up in whatever room was available and just went for it. On top of all the other goodies on display here, Yarber’s plainspoken rasp fits every song perfectly. ''Rat City'' may s ound ominous in its title, but it’s definitely a cool town.

OBN III's - Mark On You 7" (Tic Tac Totally Rec.) 5,65 EUREurope exclusive distributed by P.Trash Records!!!
”‘Mark On You’ shifts gears to the dark side of an OBN IIIs curveball. It's still got a rock ‘n’ roll center, snot for miles, and of course the balls-out delivery service. But this one conjures a sadistic presence that pushes down HARD on OBN IIIs' vehicle, forcing eruptions of black smoke from the tune. It comes off something like Mentally Ill's ‘Gacy's Place’ doing its thing waaaaay over on the ‘rock’ end of punk rock. Anyway, this song will make your turntable smell like battery acid, blood, and beer after a couple spins. The other B-side (double B-side, bitch!), ‘Heavy Heart,’ is the rager though. With an upbeat, simple wallop, it's reminiscent of a drunken, Texas-tinged Ivy Green. Which keeps coming up as often as these dudes club me over the head lately. Much more in-line with their other output so far, and a perfect compliment to the other B-side.”

OBSERVERS - Down On Today 7" (Taken By Surprise Rec.) 5,00 EURLead singer and primary songwriter Douglas Burns along with longtime friend and Speds band mate Colin Grigson formed the Observers. The intention of the band was to create a new voice in music that was true to the traditional punk sound of the 70's and 80's while remaining contemporary and relevant. The band formed in 2002, but did not play their first live show until March 2003 after settling on their first line-up, which included Muslim on guitar and Skeeter Joplin on drums. Together, this line-up recorded the "Down On Today" demo. This record features 4 songs from said demo. Tracked in Colin's room and mixed in Doug's this 4 track demo was first released on tape and then on CD-R. It was only sold at the first shows THE OBSERVERS played. Tracks are: SHORT DAY, DOWN ON TODAY, CAN'T BE SAD and STATE OF DECAY. This 7" will be pressed for one time only wrapped in a silver/black silkscreen cover.

OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB - Crimes LP + MP3 (Alive Rec.) 15,90 EURHIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB is formed by Alx Anguiano on vocals/guitars, Andrew Messer on guitars, Chris Reeves on drums and Tyler Shults on bass. With echoes of The JAM, BOYS, CLASH, SHAM 69 and the passion and forward thinking of BILLY BRAG, on their new album Crimes, OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB is the sound of today with a nod to the past. Taking a cue from an increasingly active underground Texas music scene, they play a mix of first wave punk and new wave music with a focus on catchy choruses, thoughtful lyrics and a DIY mentality. The Denton, TX-based band previously released their ten-song debut LP Tortures last spring on Red Lounge Records, and fellow Texas gore-hounds HEX DISPENSERS covered their song “I’m A Ghost” on the B-side of one of their latest singles.

OH SEES, THEE - Castlemania DoLP (In The Red Rec.) 19,90 EURSan Francisco’s incredibly prolific THEE OH SEES are back with another full-length album of original tracks plus a smattering of covers. While the group’s previous releases on In The Red, "Help" and "Warm slime", showcase their amped-up, reverb-drenched Garage-Psych pummel, on "Castlemania", John Dwyer and company take a more low-key approach. Dwyer himself describes ''Castlemania'' as “summery and poppy”; on many of the tracks, electric guitars are jettisoned for acoustic, and the normally echo-laden vocals are a bit clearer. Happy pop melodies, sweet and somber tunes, psychedelic moves galore, cover versions of The CREATION and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, and at least one Garage stomper all rub elbows on THEE OH SEES “sunshine pop” album. The vinyl for "Castlemania" is a three-sided double LP housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with a fourth side featuring an etching by William Keihn, who also did the fantastic cover art.

ONE STARVING DAY - Atlas Coelestis DoLP (Narshardaa Rec.) 18,90 EuroThe Italian avant/cosmic-doom/core band is back with another monstrous release. Although the band has always been rooted in its hardcore attitude, its sound has continuously evolved during these years and Atlas Coelestis is just the outcome of this process. Since the beginning of their decennial career, One Starving Day's impact has always been definitely dark and claustrophobic, and their long suites alternate between hardcore/doom basic structures, cosmic openings, and deep and calm intimacy. Following the wide positive comments about their first album, Broken Wings Lead Arms to the Sun, the band has been described as a hybrid between Neurosis and GSYBE!. For this new release, called Atlas Coelestis, the band evolves towards a more personal song writing in order to design more particular musical landscapes. The album has been recorded and mixed by David Lenci at Red House Recordings and mastered at Chicago Mastering Service by Bob Weston. Atlas Coelestis sounds like a very particular mixture of sounds. Explosions of analogue synths, mystical patterns of harmonium and organ, fierce vocals full of anguish, delicate cellos patterns, eschatological tapes and samples, a solid rhythmic session, melodic and powerful guitars, they all characterize the complex sound of this album. The result is an amazing avant-gardist mixture of different codes ranging from hardcore/doom to krautrock and contemporary music.

OUTER MINDS - Always in My Head 7" (Goodbye Boozy Rec.) cover art Limited to 100 hand numbered copies 5,50 EURChicago’s explosive and underrated OUTER MINDS have finally come to the surface after simmering in the underworld in several different incarnations over the past few years, and with unbelievably great results. Sharpening their sound into a legion of 60s pop/psych textures and nuances normally reserved for the baroque set with their impeccable glockenspiel-laden arrangements, Outer Minds weave a rich web of sound around impossibly perfect hooks and deliver an impressive EP worthy of your immediate attention. Lead by Zach Medearis (BLACK BEATIES, LOVER!) and A-Ron Orlowski’s (BASEBALL FURIES, LOVER!, DIRGES) fine assemblage of rough-cut harmonies, the band has gone through more name and roster changes than most, but once the current lineup coalesced into the tight-knit unit performing today, everything fell into place to create this sumptuous wall of sound that will blow your little mind to bits. -Todd Novak (HoZac Records)

OUT ON A LIMB - Drowned LP (Taken By Surprise Rec.) 11,50 EURGREAT first record of this band from Chemnitz/Leipzig. Complex groovy with wave-guitar sounds and nice melodies and a lot of energetic post-punk influences like WIPERS, JOY DIVISION and THE ESTRANGED. All records include a downloadcode.

OUT ON A LIMB - Same 7" (Trashbastard/Destination Unknown Rec.) 4,50 EuroNew shock from the eastside. First 7” of this Chemnitz based new band out of the ashes of VIDEO VIOLENCE. Four songs of raw, wavy punk with a little melancholy desperate prevailing mood. Without any question there is some Wipers-influence. Cover-Artwork by Alex Cuervo from HEX DISPENSERS
OUT WITH A BANG - Few Beers Left But Out of Drugs 7" (Criminal IQ Rec.) 5,50 EuroSurprise, surprise: here comes another top-notch hardcore release from Criminal IQ! Verona, Italy's Out With A Bang! features Anus (ex GRABBIES) on lead vocals, and man does this slab ever kill! Kicking off with the tender love ballad "Few Beers Left But Out of Drugs" and going right into "Only When I'm Fucked Up" ("I can function only when I'm fucked up"), this EP is definitely not the feelgood recording of 2007. The B-side continues in the same spirit, with one song a mean-spirited dis of another person's band and the other a cover of Mr. California's "Goin' Home" ("Thought I'd get myself a steak knife/Stick it in my right eye/Thought I'd get myself goin' home/Thought I'd commit suicide"). Out With A Bang! does not fuck around, and its bleak vision is hammered home with a pummeling ferocity. The title track is the closest this record comes to straight-ahead hardcore punk. It's a real rager, the guitars violently charged and Anus bellowing like a psychotic Keith Morris. From there, the dissonance pours forth, the abrasive brutality of O.W.A.B.'s attack deepened by damaged, jagged guitars bordering on white noise and a general car wreck sensibility. Clearly this record follows in the Criminal IQ tradition of earsplitting aggression, but it does so with an added twist. And within this genre of music, there might not be a better vocalist working today. It seems redundant to say so about such a fine label, but this really is one of Criminal IQ's best releases yet. - NOW WAVE
OVERNIGHT LOWS - City Of Rotten Eyes LP (Goner Rec.) 14,75 EURGoner Records is proud to release "City of rotten eyes", the debut from Jackson, Mississippi’s OVERNIGHT LOWS. The OVERNIGHT LOWS mix a sick and sickened attitude with a classic ANGRY SAMOANS / QUEERS aesthetic: establish a blazing guitar riff, yell some memorable antisocial blather over it, hit a chorus, and get out. Who has time for anything else these days? OVERNIGHT LOWS aren’t going to waste your time attempting to show you the path to enlightenment or the way to your lover’s heart. They’d rather show you the door. Melodies? Sure, kinda, but more like rhythmic chants to accompany you on your third trip back to the liquor store. The male / female vocal trade-offs add to the band’s desperate charm. Marsh and Daphne are backed by chef Paul Artigues from New Orleans’ DIE ROTZZ, a batterer of both drums and food. Artigues blew Guy Fieri’s mind with his boudin-andouille hash and homemade bagels and lox on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. His drumming, busy but focused, blows minds as well, extending his influence far beyond the already passé “food-punk” scene. 150 gram vinyl pressing - digital download.
OVERNIGHT LOWS - Slit Wrist Rock n'Roll / I'll Be Everything 7" (Goner Rec.) 5,85 EURJackson, Mississippi, is not known as a hotbed of Punkrock, but Los Angeles is the film capitol of the world, and when has a good movie come out of there? Never! OVERNIGHT LOWS once again work to promote Jackson’s Punkrock rep in two ways: This single rips brains. On the B-side they cover the legendary ED NASTY AND THE DOPEDS (comped on Killed By Death #7)—original Jackson Punkrock royalty!
O VOIDS / DAILY VOID 7" (Don't Hit Record! Rec.) 6,00 EURA split with the DAILY VOID (Chicago) and the O VOIDS from (Canada). Intergalactic noise punk backed by disjointed post punk. 2 songs from each band with the Daily Void's apocalyptic deterioration playing off the O Voids stark punk noir
