RED MASS - Same 12" (Psychic Handshake Rec.)Europe exclusive distributed by P.Trash Records!!!
Absolutely killer four song 45 RPM 12" debut by a Montreal collective led and masterminded by CHOYCE (aka - Roy Vucino, formerly of CPC GANGBANGS, LES SEXAREENOS, DAYLIGHT LOVERS and LES ENFANTS SAUVAGES, just to name a few of his many groups). Brewing for several years prior to CPC GANGBANGS untimely demise, RED MASS delivers on the promise of the GANGBANGS artier and more progressive moments without losing one ounce of the ferocity or catchiness they were known for. This might very well be the best thing we've heard to date from CHOYCE, but its only the beginning. The scope and potential of RED MASS is enormous. We are really excited about this release, as it co-insides with a RED MASS 7"es that are being released by Solid Sex Lovie Doll and Goodbye Boozy Records in a moment. These four songs offer a brief, exhilarating glimpse of their vision!!!
THAT'S COOL, THAT'S TRASH! ZineEurope exclusive distributed by P.Trash Records!!!
Best zine name we read since year!! It's the 1st issue, cool 50' retro style, done by Matt from YOUNG PEOPLE WITH FACES band!! Mostly about punk, but it has other garage rock, rockabilly and 50's trash culture things in it too. Interview with KIP BROWN (the guitarist for KBD band SHOCK), JEFF MAGNUM (Bassist of the DEAD BOYS), KALLE from the MANIKINS, and a family friend NED who was in the garage band ROAD APPLES in the mid '60s. He was from the same scene as bands like the SONICS and the VENTURES. His band never released their recordings (which rock!) so the zine will have those 4 tracks on the CD with various other tracks from bands covered in the zine. There is a record review section as well as a candy review and a 50' drive in movie review. Plus this issue features a profile on the life and death of KID THOMAS (crazy 60's rocker a la LITTLE RICHARD) and a countdown of the Top 10 songs about Chicken! Finally, it will feature a cute pin up section with Matt's girlfriend "Miss Cool" in cute 50's style pictures and a silly little interview with her. Yeah, also a smoldering centerfold pin up section with Miss Cool (featured on the cover). 5.5 inch x 8.5 inch black and white (except for color cover) 200 printed.
CECILIA & DIE SAUERKRAUTS - Sauerkraut, Wurst Und Other LP (Soundflat Rec.)Cecilia, Russel Quan, Ryan, Fredovitch and Fred (aka Gertrude, Rudolph, Reinhardt, Herman und Fritz) abandoned their disguise and crawled out of the basements. There, in Wuerzburg, Lower Franconia, they practised their rehearsals, in order to pamper the world with their intercontinental global 60's beat. The biographie of the members of the band gives the impression of a menu with a swirling and fine taste too: On the one hand we have the delightful CECILIA from France, which more than merely convinced as head of the LOFI-PUNK band THE NO-TALENTS, the new-wavepunk band OPERATION S and, of course, with her absolute 60's combo CECILIA ET SES ENNUIS. On the other hand RUSSEL QUAN from USA could be engaged for drums. RUSSEL QUAN is known as one of the founder and a member of such legendary bands like THE MUMMIES, THE FLAKES, THE BOBBYTEENS, DUKES OF HAMBURG. On bass, CECILIA is supported by RYAN from USA, who played amongst others in bands like THE EPOXIES. The brass band leader Fred plays the axe (guitar), as he does in the charming 60's French-Beat-Pop combo LES TERRIBLES too, respectively at OPERATION S as well. None other than Fredovitch pounds the keys of the organ, well-known for his ONE-MAN Show as well as his performance at KING KHAN & THE SHRINES and THE HERO-X. The grandiose, smart and both humorous and charming too 60's Beat of this ALL-STAR band consists of original compositions as well as of own arrangements (in French), based on the French 60's Beat/Pop, on classics of PowerPop-, Garage-, Punk- and 60's-songs!

DEAD LUKE 7" (Sweet Rot Rec.)
Third single from Madison, Wisconsin's DEAD LUKE following his first two releases on Sacred Bones. 4 songs that range from dark and haunting, to surprisingly poppy and upbeat, all home recorded with a perfect balance between electronics and guitars. Eye catching cover art courtesy of Ilth.
A.H. KRAKEN 7" (Sweet Rot Rec.)
Second release from French miscreants A.H. KRAKEN following their absolutely devastating debut LP on In the Red. Continuing with the trend from the LP, this two song single is loud, brutal, and punishing, featuring disturbing French lyrics about swamps and porn stars. One of the premier noise making bands of today, and just in time for their first U.S. tour. The band will also be playing the Sonic Protest festival in Paris in December.
RANTOULS - Presents... 7" (Chocolate Covered Rec.)With the former singer/bass player of the FEVER!!! The first release by Sunnyvale, California's only remaining Bubblegum band, the RANTOULS. These four songs will get so stuck in your head that you'll be playing Chug-A-Lug over and over and over again. Get ready to buy a new record needle!
TY SEGALL - Same LP (Castle Face Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! I really don’t even know where to begin in explaining how great this. Punky, trashy, SUPER CATCHY garage rock from San Francisco. Did I mention he also plays drums with his feet while strumming his guitar and singing along? Well he does and he’s really good at it. This album even has a really rad RAMONES cover song! My only beef is that the album doesn’t have Ty’s super catchy song “IT” on it, but youn will get the song on the Chocolate Covered 7". TY SEGALL is one rad, talented dude!!!
TY SEGALL - It 7" (Chocolate Covered Rec.)TY SEGALL steps out from behind the drumkit of the TRADITIONAL FOOLS and sit down behind a much simpler drum kit to start his own one-man band. It's crunchy, lo-fi goodness for the whole family...KILLER 7"
TRADITIONAL FOOLS - Same LP (Wizard Mountain Rec.)
The Fools' first LP has all the right ingredients. 60's garage trash, vintage surf reverb, and raw LA Punk mix together to make your mouth salivate. Definitely get this one.
TRADITIONAL FOOLS - Same 7" (Chocolate Covered Rec.)If yer looking for the TRADITIONAL FOOLS' debut release, this is it. Get it quick, 'cause there aren't many left. Its surf-punk for the ages.
V/A BLACK LIPS / CARBONAS / GENTLEMAN JESSE / PREDATOR - Live at Rob's House 7" w/ DVD (Rob's House Rec.)After three years of regular house shows and 4 live 7"s, the satuday afternoon showcases hosted at rob's house have become somewhat of an atlanta staple. Rob's house hosted the last of its house shows in july 2008 and this 7" features one track from each of the four bands that played that day. Its the end of an era for rob's house and we cut no corners to make this release a celebration of our time at the house. The 7" features two unreleased tracks, comes housed in a hand-numbered gatefold sleeve and includes a professionally shot dvd of the entire show. Track listing: MIA (BLACK LIPS), day turns to night (CARBONAS), the rest of my days (GENTLEMAN JESSE), little prince (PREDATOR).
WEAKENDS - Same LP (Rob's House Rec.)The WEAKENDS are back with the follow-up to their debut 7", and this time it's with a long-player that finds its home a bit more on the blues-punk side of the no-fi french underground. They are banging away, singing through broken PA's, sounding like a way cooler hot rod, 50's, b-movie band then you ever remember, or they sound like what those bands should have sounded like, but they were too self aware or just never that good. Tour with BLACK LIPS for early next year in the works??
JACUZZI BOYS - I Fought A Crocodile 7" (Rob's House Rec.)Miami, florida's eerie and alluring JACUZZI BOYS float on a hot cloud of misty and hypnotic grooves that suck you into their morbid world of jangling, distant guitars overlaid with ghostly chants that swell and recede like the sands of time slowly slipping through your tarnished soul. With a rollicking beat that sticks to your ribs and forces you to look deep within yourself for the answers to life's toughest questions, JACUZZI BOYS have that magical "something" that you'll feel the first time you hear them.
BOBBY & THE SOFT SPOTS - Same 7" (Rob's House Rec.)BOBBY UBANGI [THE LIDS, GAYE BLADES] fronts this drunken mess of atlantans called the SOFT SPOTS [feat. members of GAYE BLADES, SPOOKS and BEAT BEAT BEAT]. If you've heard any of bobby's previous output you'll know he's a craftsman of the three-chord garage sing-alongs with some of the most poppy lyrics written and these songs are all that with a bit more beer. Classic ubangi!
DOA - Northern Avenger LP/CD (Plastic Bomb Rec.)30 years of D.O.A., studio album number 12 - Canadas punkband number 1 is back with powerful and fresh songs. Reminiscent of their grand debut "Something Better Change" and the subsequent "Hardcore 81", the record is straightforward and catchy. The group around the “Natural Born Loudmouth” and “Canadian Godfather of Punk” Joe „SHITHEAD” Keithley presents 15 new smashers that have to be ranked among their strongest and best. The album opens with rockish oldschool punk, coined by Keithley's raw vocals. The mix of sarcasm and urgent political message is all across as always. Keithley's themes range from hockey praises to police brutality and unpleasant life on the streets. D.O.A.'s music is somewhere between Rock'n'Roll, Punk, Hardcore and some tendencies towards Ska. Every song is a burning statement, more tight and provocative than we have seen them in recent years. D.O.A. – the most important north american punkband of the early eighties along BLACK FLAG, DEAD KENNEDYS, MINOR THREAT and YOUTH BRIGADE, is back!
MASSMORD / SHADES OF GREY Split LP (Profane Existence Rec.)Two intense hardcore crust bands from Stockholm, Sweden team up for a powerhouse new split album. MASSMORD have current/former members of such bands as DEUNGA, ARTICLE NINE, BEYOND PINK and VÅNIG 5 and have previously released two albums and have established a reputation for delivering high quality, down-tuned hardcore punk (they have been compared to "WOLFBRIGADE and TO WHAT END? mixed with some FROM ASHES RISE and KYLESA."). SHADES OF GREY share the other side of this split and are the perfect match, both musically and ideologically speaking. Having only previously released a demo, this will be the band's first large-scale release. Both bands have excellent recording production with an absolutely huge sound. Prepare to be blown away!
YUM YUMS - Whatever Rhymes With Baby LP (Screaming Apple Rec.)One of The Yum Yum's strongest points have proved to be their ultra catchy mid-tempos (remember their massive hit "Be With Me") and on this new album "Sugar Rush" and "If I Ever See you Again" will get your toes tapping on the floor and most likely, a big smile on your face. The production of this record has been fully analogic, resulting in a crispy and crunchy sound that we fans appreciate after the rather "polite" production of their last album "Blame It On The Boogie". Tina Lucchesi (The Bobbyteens) contributes on "Rock And Roll Tonight" and the new line-up features an amazing Egil Stemkens (Popgun) on bass -with some of the most original and creative bass lines ever recorded on a punkpop album- and the definitive inclusion of Norwegian female pop idol Vibeke Saugestad on keyboards, backing vocals and percussion.
HOLY COBRAS - Make Pyramids Tape (Telephone Explosion Rec.)The second record from the Holy Cobras is an chaotic acid assult. It leaves the rules of garage rock behind and embraces a new sound that renders them unclassifiable. I dare you to try standing still while listening to this record.
CHARLIE & THE MOONHEARTS - Thunderbeast Tape (Telephone Explosion Rec.)10 songs. An amazing cover. A classic hit which appeared on their Goodbye Boozey 45'. It's surfy, it's mean, it's nice, it's loud, it's probably something you want in your collection.
LOVE BOAT - Imaginary Beatings of.. LP/CD (Alien Snatch Rec.)This band has has as many hits as holes in the pants! These three guys from Cagliari, Sardinia are staffed with one electric guitar, one acoustic guitar and minmal drum kit and a lot of singing! Sardinia ensures a pretty decent life where you go freewheelin´ and hang around in numerous open sky rocknroll beach bars! Who issues the statement why we go over the top about those cats? They´re not from the finish tundra but where to look for the origin of this overwhelming 60´s bubblegum harmony hurricane you haven´t heard of a new band since the first FEVERS album. Why? If you followed the label history you know that we´re looking for power pop treasures as other running around for the lost amber room. We don´t re-release old fave bands of the late 70s - we want the bands of NOW! We´re confident to present a good cause to extend your record collection: The LOVE BOAT are teenage fireballs who spin whole beaches into a frenzy with undeniable r & b garage pop. Singer Andrea Pilleri has a schizophrenic wicked confident voice as he was half-raised as a catholic boy in a back from the day monastery, half-raised in a black gospel community granted him to chant out loud songs in such adorable manner. Those boys have the knack to write hits and icing the cake with a wonderful gnarly guitar sound and kicking baby drums. They geared up to enter the OUTSIDE INSIDE studio run by masterminds Matt Bordin (MOJOMATICS) and Emanuele Baratto (MOVIE STAR JUNKIES) who are the paten and producers of this outstanding debut album. Imagine GINO WASHINGTON and MARK SULTAN play tennis and the MONKEES are the ball boys white the costumed EQUALS dance on the stadium seats - sweeping & stomping! Go get a teenage GOLDEN BOYS a trashier GOODNIGHT LOVING, a chipmunk KK & BBQ record - "Imaginary Beatings of Love" is a compilation of twelve originals, one-hit wonders! This is the 2008 R&B surprise and the play any toilet, tube station and swim hall changing room - from Sardinia to Kyoto! LP on 180g heavy vinyl, CD in rough cardboard digipack.

MISS CHAIN & THE BROKEN HEELS - Boys & Girls 7" (Dream On Rec.)On the new japanese Dream On Records Label!!! Here's the brandnew 45 by Europe's best girl-fronted power-pop band besides the fab SUZY & LOS QUATTRO and ...good god what an amazing record it is. 2 songs of pure pop heaven, unbelievably catchy, dressed in a tight suit of crunchy guitars and fronted by the wonderful voice of Miss Chain will directly touch your heart, soul and body. This band will be HUGE!!! A true must have for fans of early BLONDIE, HOLLY & THE ITALIANS, the M&M's,the SHIVVERS and NIKKI & THE CORVETTES!
YUSSUF JERUSALEM - A Heart Full Of Sorrow LP (Floridas Dying Rec.)Totally amazing first album. From the hate filled first two minutes of it and right through the next 28 minutes of sad doomy bedroom folk, cold drones, and beautiful weird pop. All killer no filler.
SITUATIONS - Reibung 7" (Destination Unknown Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! This brandnew 5 song Ep from The SITUATIONS hasn't left my recordplayer since I got it. And its getting better and better with each listning. Finest snotty 77' Punk, often compared with bands like TOYOTAS and DEAN DIRG with a REGULATIONS or OBSERVERS touch, with german and english spoken lyrics delivered by this 5 natives from Berlin. Its a must have if you are familary with that kind of sound. Seems like one of the best german punk bands up to date. Limited to 500 pieces.

4 SIVITS - Time Has Gone By LP/CD (Destination Unknown Rec.)Unfortunately the farewell release of this 4 pretty good dudes. After tons of releases they come up with there best material ever on the that record. This shit just knocks me out. Straight-forward and pissed hardcore that brings me back in the good old days. Fast and angry like it should be. Besides that they still keep an eye on pretty good melodys, so you never get bored. I guess they get realy close to classics like NEGATIVE APPROACH without being a catchy copy. Good game dudes !!! This fine piece of vinyl comes in a massive silkscreened gatefold cover and with complete discography cd with all the stuff they ever put out. First pressing is on dark red vinyl and limited to 300 copys.
http://www.myspace.com/the4sivits
SCREWED UP / SICK TIMES Split LP (Destination Unknown Rec.)9 new blasts from this east german skate punx and they do realy well an that record. I mean the first record was pretty good too, but here they do a big step forward. They come up with deep in the early 80's based raw and agressive hardcore, some folks compare them like a mix of MINOR THREAT and REAGAN YOUTH.. and they got the point with that. On the flipside her buddys from SICK TIMES kick out their first Songs on vinyl. And i guess both bands fits perfect together. Faster and with a little less punk as their split partner but in them same style...damned good debuet. by the way..the vinyl comes in a pretty cool foldout-poster cover and is limited on 300...so hurry up !!

TINY GHOSTS - Everytime LP (Marker / Destination Unknown Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Never had heard from that band, like most of you, before I got this album. But that should be changed pretty soon, in fact that this album is so fucking amazing. Its massive PostHardcore/PostPunk in vain of such great bands like HÜSKER DÜ, WIPERS mixed with GUIDE BY VOICES. Super melodic with a smokey voice and it's easy to go along with the songs. If you listen to them once you dont will get it out of your mind for a while thats for sure. So if you are a fan of that type of bands its a must have and you cant be wrong with that.

DEPRESSIVE STATE - Total Annihilation 7" (Destination Unknown / Thrash Bastard Rec.)DEPRESSIVE SATE from Leipzig featuring members of SHUT THE FUCK UP, TANGLED LINES and SCREWED UP!

http://www.myspace.com/depressivestate
SCREWED UP - Skate Attack LP (Destination Unknown Rec.)After a couple well done releases (THE TANGLED LINES and SHUT THE FUCK UP etc.) Marker records from the Münster area is back with another awesome rerelease. The 14 tracks are quite good, with lots of anger, energy, and speed. SCREWED UP going to mix their early `80s US-hardcore with today's 625 bandana-trashcore! All tracks are built on a foundation of solid trashy and positive hardcore song writing and the occassional inclusion of a catchy melody. The lyrics shifts from your standard "stabbed in the back" fare to songs that are actually interesting and make you think Fast and energetic hardcore recommended for fans of LIF'S HALT, DEAD NATION, SHARK ATTACK or anyone disgruntled in skate- thrash- and fastcore with a hint of positive message.

LOST PATROL BAND - Automatic LP (Ny Vag Rec.)BACKSTOCK !!! LOST PATROL BAND featuring nowadays members of THE (International) NOISE CONSPIRACY, THE VICIOUS, and THE REGULATIONS. Now they are is back! When REFUSED broke up in 1998, frontman Dennis Lxyzen started two projects, one being THE (International) NOISE CONSPIRACY, and the other being a solo project called THE lost patrol band. "Automatic" is tighter and a bit punkier than the last one even though pretty much every song has a great pop hook to it. Dennis says that it is a celebration to the punk rock that he first discovered in his teens with bands like BUZZCOCKS, THE JAM, RAMONES and so on but also an attempt to recreate some of the more amazing and obscure bands that he has fallen in love with over the years like PROTEX, POINTED STICKS, CARPETTES, THE KIDS and so on.
RANDY - The Band LP (Ny Vag Rec.)

So much in hard driven Punkrawk, New Wave Style killertunes & some 60's influenced Beatpunk tracks! Kinda like THE BRIEFS meet THE HIVES!! Incredible!! 'I cant imagine anything that would be better for you right now than listening to Randy the Band. A proper band. No whimps. A band who will not shy away from turning up in your home town and turning up. Sweating and singing their lungs and hearts and your brains out. A band that will play for hours and still manage to have a long night and get up early to go to the next town. A band who has recorded a new album that has them singing harmonies again. Just the way you liked it on their first couple of records but with the full on rocking you liked on their last couple of records intact. You have heard people singing their songs but you never found out who they where. This is your chance. They are here again. Randy. The Band.' - Howlin Pelle Almqvist (THE HIVES)

SICKIDZ - Teenage Obsessions LP (Rave Up Rec.)A Philadelphia-based punk rock band formed sometime back in the late 1970's. Four teenagers in love with The Cramps, Stooges, ’60 garage punk and of course the first wave of punk rock. This bunch of guys were Mick Cancer, Alison (the) End, Tim Trauma and Rich Lustre. Their apocalyptic theatrical performances became popular in Philly/N.Y.C underground circuits (Hot Club, CBGB, Max’s), opening for punk illuminaries as The Cramps, Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, Contortions, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Dead Kennedys etc... After their first 7” ‘Rhythm Gurl’ released in 1981, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach produced their classic ‘I Could Go To Hell For You’ EP in 1983. This anthology contains the best of their 1979-84 studio recordings.
NATIVE TONGUE - Blame It On Gravity LP (Rave Up Rec.)Pure genius from Massachusetts! The band formed by Michael Frackleton (drums, vocals),Louis Selvitella (bass, vocals) and Lee Leffler (guitar) was influenced by Gang of Four, PIL, ‘No Wave’ bands and reggae music (!). In 1981 the band released the self-titled EP on Detante Records. Their second wax, "YOWL", a ten song album on Modern Method Records came out the year later. Their sound can be described as ‘high-powered, stripped down, formed by layering bass and guitar over a steady drum-based dance beat with pleasant dissonant vocals’ (Boston Rock magazine 1981).This album contains 15 great studio tracks recorded during their short but intense life. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MISSION OF BURMA, MODERN LOVERS, THE GIRLS ETC... YOU CAN’T LOSE THIS PIECE OF THE HISTORY OF BOSTON UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE!
SHELL SHOCK - Execution Time LP (Mindless Rec.)Shell Shock formed in 1979 and were one of, if not THE first hardcore band in New Orleans!! They played with Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minutemen etc... and released two killer EP’s + two albums between 1981 and 1988. Upon Greg Hatch leaving the band in 1988, Kirk Windstein joined on vocals and added a 2nd guitar to the band, leaning them in a more metal direction. But this another storie! Here you’ll find the first music production of these Lousiana’s furies, 10 killer studio recordings!!! PURE PUNK ROCK PLAYED AT THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY!!! PLAY LOUD THIS IS EXECUTION TIME!!!
BUKKAKE BOYS - Same 7" (Danger/ Vile Minds Rec.)
Stephen Hutton member of BEAT BEAT BEAT and the owner of Danger Records in team with Vile Minds that is run by the band themselfs in true diy fashion... are proud to present the debut record from BUKKAKE BOYS, a staight up 80's style hardcore band from Atlanta!! This record is tough as nails and only for fans of real hardcore, includes members of SEX VID and the FRANTIC!!! Recommend for fan of VICIOUS CYCLE
NURSES, LAS 7" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)Killer Neo-Art-Punk from Spain, released in a limited handnumbered edition with silkscreened cardboard-sleeves! Reminds me of Neon King Kong when they get really jerkily rhythmic ("Remora"), super elastic bass sounds, guitar player is a slasher. "One Eyed Girl" is really maniacal go-for-the-jugular shit, with feedback solo and the drum/bass undercurrent just carrying the thing to the brink. B-Side has only one track, "I Am Yellin'", two minutes of post-punk beating. Pretty exciting stuff from a country not known for exciting stuff, I'd be really interested to hear more. If you like bands such as LE SHOK, INTELLIGENCE, or labels like: S-S, Hozac Records etc., then you won't go wrong with this one!
FUCKED FRIKIS 7" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)Five songs in about five minutes from Spain's FUCKED FRIKIS, who meld HFOS/DEAN DIRG style borderline-hardcore punk with mean-spirited DWARVESisms ("Only Wanna Fuck", "In Your Fucking Face"). "Sexy Man" has a real methed-out SPIDER BABIES vibe and "Zombie Attack" is a sick trash-punk instro. You know what you're getting into here, but it's executed well for what it is and has a nice treble-heavy recording. Lean and mean, how it should be done. You might call this a '00s update of LOS ASS-DRAGGERS, replacing the goofiness with spite. Scumbags take heed, this one's for you.(Terminal Boredom)
SONIDO ALFREDO 12" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)First release of this trio who makes an intensely personal !Garage, Surf, Punk! In Spanish. 13 songs , 25 min, 45 rpm straight to your head!!
ESTRANGED - 1st 7" (Blackwater Rec.)Keith, Derek and Mark from REMAINS OF THE DAY started a new band and totally changed the sound, so don't expect gloomy hc here. THE ESTRANGED play dark punkrock similar to bands like WARSAW or WIRE and add a certain WIPERS doomtown YOUTH OF AMERICA twist. Great stuff, totally recommended!
FUCKED UP - The Chemistry Of Modern Life DoLP (Matador Rec.)Release-date 17th Oct.2008. FUCKED UP's new album, "The chemistry of common life", synthesizes numerous diverse impulses into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic "No Epiphany"), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with PINK EYES' vocals front and center. Guest musicians, of course, abound, notably gorgeous female voices such as Brooklyn's VIVIAN GIRLS and Toronto's Katie Stelmanis.
EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING - Primary Colours LP (Goner Rec.)YES! 2nd album from Aussie superstars... straightahead rock/punk with great lyrics that completely stick in your head... best album of the year? WE THINK SO! LP comes with free download coupon!
ALDERMAN SWINDELL - Loved Me Back 7" (Rijapov Rec.)Unassuming, lightweight acoustic pop, traversing a narrow path between early rock and twee pop. Not really catchy enough for the latter or swingin' enough for the former. Eh. 500er ed!
VERMILLION SANDS - Mary 7" (Rijapov Rec.)Super-cool little record from Rijapov that I didn't see coming at all. Vermillion Sands is a lass by the name of Anna on lead guitar and vocals, who does a good job of being the Italian version of Holly Golightly. She's accompanied by Nene from Movie Star Junkies (who are a surprisingly great Italo-garage band in their own right) on bass/piano and gets a helping hand from both Mojomatics as well. The title cut is sharp garage-pop with an edge, semi-tough fuzz guitar offsetting her vocals, a really great hook with some slight keyboard touches and someone called Be Invisible Now throwing in some weird sound effects here and there. Killer song. B-Side references the blend of country and rock'n'roll Holly utilizes so sublimely, "Wake Me When I Die" is light-hearted lamenting with an infectious chorus and "Would You Kindly Direct me To Hell?" is homespun C&W twang with a woman's touch. Really stellar stuff here, especially for a Holly G. fan like me, as it's so strikingly similar. It sidles up perfectly to what she was doing around 'God Don't Like It' and 'Desperate Little Town' LPs, when she was collaborating heavily with Dan Melchior. Very well done, highly recommended if you're into this sort of thing. 400 only! (RK/Terminal Boredom)
QUESTION - Insanity 7" (Fashionable Idiots Rec.)On this platter (the band's second recorded effort) these Minneapolis hardcore stalwarts plow through six more cuts of down-tuned hardcore fury. Fast ripping punk that will leave you thirsty for more. Great looking hand screened cover and lyric booklet included, wow!
LILI Z. - The Two Of Us LP (In The Red Rec.)After her previous achievements with VOLT, the SPLASH FOUR, the NO- TALENTS, and her previous collection of home tapes, LILI Z. is coming back with 15 new 8-track cassette living room recordings. Twisted into shapes that very vaguely resemble seam-bursting garage punk (whatever that means today), the numbers' charms (13 original songs and reworkings with LILI Z. lyrics of a BELA BARTOK piece and an old RONDOS chestnut) lie in their unpredictability. Sometimes it's a little late 70s punk rock, sometimes it's catchy metronome-like electropunk, sometimes it's pure guitar noise freakouts and sometimes it's experimental tooling around. But most of all it's pure LILI Z., recorded at home at her most intimate. Working as a sort of LILI Z. musical diary "The Two of Us" comes with a stunning full color Gatefold cover of Lili's collages and meticulous illustrations for each song.
VIVIAN GIRLS - Debut LP (In The Red Rec.)more info soon...

CRETEENS / STRAIGHT ARROWS 7" (Resistance A Go-Go Rec.)
infos soon...
DEAN DIRG - ...Raus LP/CD (Six Feet Under Rec.)Germany's DEAN DIRG deliver 14 more blasts of punk-hardcore rippers, the longest of which clocks in at less than a minute and a half. Raw guitars, gang vocals, and furious (yet somewhat danceable) drum beats in the classic DEAN DIRG tradition. The DEAN DIRG sound generally falls somewhere between the CIRCLE JERKS and a less coked-out JAY REATARD mixed with European punks like HENRY FIATS OPEN SOAR or the BLINDS. This is a relentless onslaught of pissed-off, super-fast hardcore-punk but still catchy enough to remind of THE TOYOTAS to get those sweat-soaked booties on the dance floor from here to Tokyo and back again! A true feel-good experience!!!
KIDNAPPERS - Ransom Notes and Telephone Calls LP (FDH Rec.)The amazing debut LP from The KIDNAPPERS named "Ransom notes and Telephone calls " first came out in 2003 on Alien Snatch records in Germany. The LP has been sold out for a long time now and is easily one of the best Garage punk records of 2003. After years of searching for a copy for his collection without any luck Eric decided to contact the band about a reissue. So here it comes for the first time in the USA , this second pressing is limited to 500 copies.
SO COW - Commuting 7" (Going Underground Rec.)When I first heard the A side " Commuting" I instantly fell in love with this guy..so a few months later we have this amazing 3 song ep . A little bit of Sarah Indie Pop, the GO-BETWEENS, the UNDERTONES, the OUTCASTS and the old Irish charm and you have a 3 song record that will be stuck inside your head for months. Fucking essential.
SNAKE FLOWER 2 - Renegade Daydream LP (Tic Tac Totally Rec.)Following the Talk About It single TTT did earlier this year, SNAKE FLOWER 2 and Matthew Melton (BARE WIRES, RIVER CITY TANLINES, MEMPHIS BREAK-UP) deliver a full-length album cranked up for a ballsier, more blown-out sound with production courtesy of culprits Jay Bronzini (The CUTS, TIME FLYS) on recording, and Weasel Walter (XBXRX, FLYING LUTTENBACHERS) for mastering. With all the bits n pieces of the psych/punk/garage rock n roll mixture that made their singles stay on the turntables here (and there?!!).
WOMEN - Same 7" (FDH Rec.)6 song debut 7" from Philly's best punk band WOMEN. To me they sound like a mix of 70's UK punk and late 90's RIP OFF record style garage (mixed with early 80's hardcore is sure to leave you wanting more). Be your own judge and stop by the FDH myspace page to hear a tune.
MIDNIGHT KICKS, THE - Time For Fun 7" (Iekk! Sounds Rec.)THE MIDNIGHT KICKS from near Sheffield (UK) with their 3 songs killer debut 7" could be added to your fave teen trash lo-fi fuckyourspeakers garage-punk collection!!! Whoaaa! Sounds like trashy version of HIPSHAKES or DIGGER AND THE PUSSYCATS, the best way to start this spring 2008.
ANATOL - Rette Sich Wer Darf LP + Booklet sowie Posterbeilage (Audiogorilla Rec.)Um die Jahrtausendwende erschien eine 10" einer Band namens ANATOL. Oft wurde sie mit der Musik von I Spy oder alten Muff Potter verglichen. Es folgten einige Auftritte u.a. mit DUESENJAEGER und eine Tour mit AMEN 81. Live sowie auf Platte sind ANATOL eine kurzweilige Angelegenheit. Im Jahre 2002 entschieden sich ANATOL eine Pause auf unbestimmte Zeit zu machen. So blieb die im Jahr 2001 aufgenommene LP erstmal ohne große Beachtung.
7 Jahre später ist es wieder soweit. Mit Hilfe von Torben Fahrtwind und Monsen Audiogorilla kommt die LP "Rette sich, wer darf". 20 Songs in 30 Minuten, immer noch genau so schnell und melodisch wie früher. Texte immer noch kryptisch bis persönlich aber auf jeden Fall kritisch ohne Pathos und Zeigefinger. Auch sind wieder Auftritte geplant. Torben hat den Bass übernommen, ansonsten bleibt alles so wie sonst auch. Nur hoffentlich mit weniger Chaos! Eine angenehm frische Platte, die man 2008 nur noch von wenigen Bands dieser Sparte zu hören bekommt. Mit Samples und liebevoll aufgemachten achtseitigen Booklet sowie Posterbeilage eher ein Kleinod als eine massenkompatible unpersönliche Platte manch anderer Bands dieses Genre. www.myspace.com/anatolos
SNAKE FLOWER 2 - Talk About It 7" (Tic Tac Totally Rec.)Matthew Melton (ex-RIVER CITY TANLINES, BARE WIRES) serves up a home recorded variation on "Talk About It" from the upcoming LP on Tic Tac Totally. B-side is "Runnin From the Night", a softer and more eerie take on his classic sounding poppy rock. The vocal tones sit amazingly over this sound. I dig it. That's it. You write your own review. After you buy this record.
HULKS, LES - Pussy Cola 7" (Killed By An Axe Rec.)Again FATALS, COMPLICATIONS or KUNG FU ESCALATOR style blues punk!!! We can't get enough!!!
FRANCIS HAROLD & THE HOLOGRAMS - 7" (Going Underground Rec.)Out of the dinges of Bisbee , Arizona have crawled a sick , twisted monster . A vile group that have created an amazing sound not played as great since BOBBY SOXXX / STICKMEN WITH RAYGUNS . You can compare this single to a nightmare , but in a good way. If you are listening to CLOCKCLEANER or PISSED JEANS this is your new favorite band
FACTORY MEN - Same 7" (My Mind`s Eye Rec.)Recordings made with Steve from HOMOSTUPIDS during and after their “Brutal Birthday” sessions. 7 spooky cuts featuring synth, drum, guitars and mouth. For fans of that HOMOSTUPIDS record, or weird shit like BLANK DOGS.
TOUCH-ME-NOTS - Chris Owen Said It, We Believe It, That Settles It LP (Roach and Squirrel Rec.)After their cool releases at Yakisakana & Nasty Product they are back with really long full length, 13 of the 14 songs are exclusive to this LP ("Celebrity Roast," originally on the debut 7", was re-recorded for the album.) Oakland's TOUCH-ME-NOTS has been getting a whole lot of repeat play on my turntable lately. Andrew and Kelly have quickly vaulted into my top ten list of favorite current bands. They do the '50s rock n' roll meets garage-punk thing better than any group since THE SPACESHITS. What can I say? I love everything about this band: Andrew's Elvis/Gene Vincent/Jerry Lee style vocals and red-hot guitar solos; Kelly's perfect trashy drumming and well-placed hoots and hollers; and those simple, utterly infectious songs. File under KING LOUIE, KING KHAN and for sure THE SPACESHITS.
LOT LIZARDS -LEAVE ME ALONE (I'VE GOT A BOMB) 7" (Perpetrator Rec.)
First seven inch slab for London duo, Meg & GG are campadres of BLACK TIME, they also got a side-band with Lemmy Caution called Subway Slims. Similar styles to the BLACK TIME mob, an unholy mess of CHILDISH/BASSHOLES/CRIME/PUSSY GALORE/MONKS/SUPERCHARGER action. Heavy fuzz chunk guitar, heavy drum pound & stomp, and dual male/female vox, they utilise everything they got at their disposal for their three punkified Diddley tumes on this here debut wax....follow-up single hot on its heels, coming on Yakisakana..
ALUMINUM KNOT EYE - Silo Monster 7" (Big Black Hole Rec.)Killed By Death stuff like MAD meets FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS packed in a GREAT silkscreen sleeve!!!
BOB BURNS & THE BREAKUPS - Terminal Breakdown LP (Gearhead Rec.)Their 2nd LP. Revved up and stripped down. Raw punk rawk framed in catchy tunes that clock in under 2 minutes! Garage punk from Steven's Point, WI.
HOMOSTUPIDS - The Intern LP (Parts Unknown Rec.)After two awesomely blown-out singles, Cleveland Ohio’s HOMOSTUPIDS give up their debut full-length to the Parts Unknown empire. A perturbing stew of full-bore garage spew and psychedelic punkaroo, this full-length will be the soundtrack to many losers’ bad drug parties for centuries to come. The album contains 14 songs = one big headache. File under FATALS / REATARDS meets UNSANE / NINE SHOCKS TERROR.
