YOUNG GOVERNOR - English Tim 7" (Static Shock Rec.)This is the second solo 7" from YOUNG GOVERNOR - aka - Ben Cook, also of such groups as The BITTERS, MARVELOUS DARLINGS, VIOLENT MINDS and FUCKED UP. The title track on this single picks up where Guv's first single, 'Virginia Creeper' left off, where the flip 'In The Heart Of A Harem' verges into much darker territory. While comparable to ANGRY ANGLES, JAY REATARD, and HOME BLITZ, songs definitely stand out as not just being a sound-alike of the above bands. The songs on this single are lo-fi, distorted, and will be stuck in your head for days.
ATOMGEVITTER - Hiroshemo 7" (Static Shock Rec.)
more info soon...
WHITE SAVAGE / TRES DELICIAS 7" (Holy Cobra Society Rec.)WHITE SAVAGE is seasoned: All but one of these heathens have been or are in bands you should know if you don’t already. Jered Gummere’s from the PONYS, Jim McCann is from BASEBALL FURIES and TYRADES, Colin Smith from SCREAMING YELLO ZONKERS, Greg Sharp’s from CHIN UP CHIN UP, and Ryan Weinstein was in the RETURNABLES and ZZZZ. And then there’s Bob Johnson, the saxophone player who works the door at the Empty Bottle and had to kick out a heckler at the very first show he played with the band. WHITE SAVAGE is a mystery: Sometime masks are worn and the six members are no longer their affable, (mostly) Midwestern selves. They are primal savages who will surf on their guitars, swing from ceiling fans, burn themselves on lights, lie on the floor, walk out the door, scream, sweat and convulse. WHITE SAVAGE was born in Chicago, sprung from the good time hang outs of three drinking buddies who all happen to have the spirit of savages running through them. The band rose from the ashes of one dissolved band through friendship and brought in members who needed “funship”: an escape from the parts of the world that bring you down, a place to hug it out when trifling bitches, shitty jobs, and cold cities try to keep the spirit down. WHITE SAVAGE isn’t just a band that goes ape-shit, knocks your head back and smacks you into realizing the wonder of the world, hangs from the rafters and drills holes into the floor. It’s a way of life and it feels all right.
TRES DELICIAS is the best trio Spain had for years...It´s the new definition for Irrational...as that time you listened GORIES, like first time "Soul Food" sounded in your pick-up. 1 minute it´ll take to say that they are some kinda of KBD. Another one wil say that they sounded to the most primitive GUN CLUB. Nor fucking idea. Or yes?. And as a good food is nothing without a good wine...if they play less than 650 km of your house, better go round to see them and look how with a pair of guitars,a box and goliath the modernloved "She cracked " can be twisted ...
MANIKINS - The Start For Me b/w Let Me Go 7" (Plastic Idol Rec.)Still reeling from their first United States tour in April/May 2009, these Swedes dish two exclusive hits on this platter, their second for Plastic Idol. Both tunes were recorded during the sessions that produced "Crocodiles," the MANIKINS' latest and greatest long-player, and like the songs that comprised the album, everything clicks. It's tough to dismiss the appeal of "The Start For Me" and "Let Me Go": tight hooks, equal parts power and pop, with a bright, prickly edge; both are certifiably hummable. When it came time to mix down, MANIKINS set off these tunes from the LP by employing a vintage Telefunken tape recorder, giving these two great pop songs a bit more pop. Weasel Walter mastered this single so it sounds like it means business. The band's longtime art guru, Jonas Norway, dressed up the sleeve nicely as usual. Pressed on Baltic Sea-colored vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
CRASH NORMAL - Flying to NY b/w Hairy Wine 2 7" (Plastic Idol Rec.)Paris, France's CRASH NORMAL is prepared to own 2009 with a flurry of releases, led by this dandy of a single. The showstopping duo of Jerome and Vincent continue to do what they do best: smash the rock 'n' roll "box" and glue its pieces back together however they see fit. The result is a dynamic discography, ranging from blown-out garage-isms to electro-infused bleeps, yet it all sounds like it fits into a bigger picture. On this single, CRASH NORMAL sounds leaner, and perhaps meaner, than they have in a while. "Flying to NY" was originally earmarked for another release, but we loved it so much that we had to stake our claim to it as the A-side (we think you'll approve). "Hairy Wine 2" is Ben Wallers worship in the form of an impeccably rendered COUNTRY TEASERS tune. Kerozen supplied the sleeve art. Mastered by Weasel Walter. Pressed in a limited edition of 650 copies.
LOSER LIFE - Friends With A Demon LP (Taken By Surprise Rec.)LOSER LIFE are back with their 2nd full length LP! After several months of touring, a handful of 7"s, a 12" and an album on MAGIC BULLET they have mastered their Chicago meets DC by way of Bakersfield sound. This time some darker elements and a great recording take things to the next level. An explosive mix that brings to mind bands like ARTICLES OF FAITH, NAKED RAYGUN or BORN AGAINST. LOSER LIFE comes from a place called Bakersfield, California, an area the band has numerously described as “the armpit of California”. This is what LOSER LIFE is influenced by and the band's sound makes their pleasant description seem all too realistic. LOSER LIFE is dirty, grimy, filthy and fucking pissed off at their little hole in the world and the world in general. They play music with a glass half-empty feeling with a glass overflowing the brim spirit.
JAMES ARTHUR - My Gawd! 7" (Goodbye Boozy Rec.)James plays in The Golden Boys, A Feast of Snakes, The Signals, FIREWORKS, AAAAAAAA The New Memphis Legs!! C.C. Riders, The Necessary Evils!!!!!!!!! and many others. These are his new 4 songs PSICHEDELICA - GARAGE - PUNK- Sounds AWESOME!!! Soon new LP out on AARGHT! Records and 7" PERPETRATOR Rec.

FLIGHT - Flowers 7" (Sweet Rot Rec.)
This is the debut single from FLIGHT, who hail from Mississippi. "Flowers" is an incredibly infectious, well crafted, off-beat pop song that sounds just about perfect heading into these summer months. The flip "Johnny's Mixed Up" is equally fist pumping and will please fans of the LIVE FAST DIE style of overblown guitar work. Expect more great things soon from FLIGHT with a 7" upcoming on the Hozac Hookup Klub and a 10" on Kill Shaman. http://www.myspace.com/inflighttunes
WOVEN BONES - Your Sorcery 7" (Sweet Rot Rec.)
In my humble opinion, "Your Sorcery" is the best song Austin's WOVEN BONES have committed to wax so far in their brief career. Its crazy tight rhythm section keeping everything grounded, perfect guitar tone, and just enough 'tude in the vocals should keep you spinning it over and over and over again. The flip "Howlin Woof" relaxes the intensity a bit but succeeds just as much with its slow-burn approach. Previous 7"s (including a split with the JACUZZI BOYS) were on Hozac and Needless and an LP is upcoming from Hozac! http://www.myspace.com/wovenbones
COCOCOMA - Spectrum Of Sounds (Singles, Unreleased & Live Stuff) LP (Red Lounge Rec.)The Hipshakes wanna marry them, Goner Records wants to kiss them all day long, everybody loves them and we finally had the guts to ask them for a date! An LP filled , as the title may suggest, with their sold out 7"ers, unreleased and even some live stuff. Some killer ingrediences and we have been promised a sonically challenged release of the good kind!! New 7" is in the works, too!!! Mix your Root Beer with some Moonshiner...it's CoCoComa time!!!
WEBELOS - Megadiez 7" (Bowery Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! There´s a before and an after of this record in Spain since with this single the Iberian punk Rock returned to his place. Megadiez was a kick in the ribs for all the Spanish punk Rock bands that had its eyes focused on the American bands, and on the false punk Rock that came from Scandinavia in the ends of the 90´s. With these ten songs the Webelos focused again the attention in forgotten spanish bands such as Desechables, Último Resorte or Larsen ... On the other hand, they returned the audacity to punk Rock, pimping everyone upon putting in the market this brutal engraved piece to the first one takes in a four track, using only two of them. The madrid trio sat the bases for everything that would come later: one minute songs, no difficult guitar chords, and no concessions to heavy metal. No musical knowledges and a good dose of mongolism surround this second generation classic of the Iberian punk Rock, that now Bowery records dares to rescue 10 years later , celebrating its anniversary as it deserves. "Its a nasty Punk sound, still blows my minds out . ..” get your copy now and no longer you will have to pay crazy $$$$ to get this single in ebay!!!
NOVEDADES CARMINHA - Te Vas Con Cualquiera LP (Bowery Rec.)Band from the northwest of spain, but formed in Madrid at the beginning of 2007 and influenced by the Iberian punk rock bands of the eighties ( siniestro total, viuda de gómez, paralisis permanente, coyotes, etc ) and by all the 77 punk rock. After the good reception of its first selfreleased recording in cassette, now bowery records releases their first LP in vinyl, that later on, rumble records will publish in cd. In this occasion the group bets on the Iberian punk rock of the beginning of the 80´S. Attractive melodies, rhythms as energetic as dancing , and a lot of sense of humor in the lyrics characterize this new reference. "Te vas con cualquiera" is all a statement of intentions from Novedades Carminha , that talk about women and fights , the themes that love the most the free time lovers. Mother,introduce them them to your daughter, she´ll have a good time!
V/A TWISTIN' RUMBLE Volume 8 LP (TR Rec.)Featuring Sonny & the Premiers, Jimmy McCracklin, Latin Dimension, Capris, Gestics, Ronnie Fuller, Eddie & the Deravelons, Sub Dominants, B. Goode, Philip Walker Band, Tiny Fuller, Puddle Jumpers, Ace Holder, Menard Rogers, Arthur Griswold, Barons und Gabrial & his Angels. 17 Tracks.
SOMETHING FIERCE - There Are No Answers LP (Dirtnap Rec.)NFT is proud as shit to add these Texas powerpop punks to our roster. You might remember them as one of the show-stealers from our last Dancehall Troops compilation with ‘Teenage Ruins’. "There Are No Answers" is their second full-length and it rules like crazy... wildy addictive and with the perfect balance between melody, speed and rawness. This is some serious song-writing here. Bursting with punk energy and pop promise, "There Are No Answers" sounds like Something Fierce are having the time of their lives playing these songs, and it's contagious. Just try not to dance around the room. "There Are No Answers" is a hot blast of punk and powerpop influenced by the original wave of 1977. This album is the romantic vision of a detached world, where demons lurk and aliens wander, and try as you might, there are no answers... (except “Yes you should!” to the question, ‘Should I get this?”)
DC SNIPERS - 2nd LP (Daggerman Rec.)The long over-due follow-up to the DC SNIPERS' 2006 Missile Sunset LP, this eponymous second album kills with KBD sleazed out punk action. 400 pressed on 180g black vinyl. Hand screened jacket with lyric insert.

DISCO LEPERS – Epileptic Sex / I Was A Haemophiliac Blood Donor / Nazi Tampons / Teenage Menopause / I’m Carcogenic
GREATEST HITS - Saved My Life CD (No Front Teeth Rec.)The second full-length from Seattle’s glam powerpoppers. If you heard their first album you’ll know that they got a sound that gets the nut-sack pumping. Think a modern day Joneses but with elements of the UNDERTONES, BUZZCOCKS, BEACH BOYS, DAVID BOWIE and T-REX thrown in. Yeah, this rules and the songs are fuckin killer... this band is not about dressing up and going through the motions... these songs have got soul. Produced and recorded by STEVE E. NIX (who’s on backing vox and percussion too) and Johnny Sangster (CUTE LEPERS/BRIEFS producer).

Ten cuts of the finest raw and snotty punk rock reminiscent of the STITCHES but snottier! Wild and obnoxious, this is the true characterization of punk rock...
SNAZZY BOYS - Same CD (No Front Teeth Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! The debut full-lenght album from Italy's number one spastics the Snazzy Boys... This is a convulsive masterpiece that blends the classic early sound of The BOYS, The ADVERTS, The UNDERTONES, The BUZZCOCKS, etc... with the modern take on that sound ala MANIKINS, BRIEFS, HATEPINKS, etc... This is a fucking killer album, if you' ve heard their previous two singles you know to expect that this will blow you away... This is KILLER!!
http://www.myspace.com/snazzyboys
CLEAN-CUTS - Do The Pop 7" (No Front Teeth Rec.)Four cuts of fine European spasticness from these French ’77 punk / power-poppers. Short, sharp and fun – this is old fashioned punk rock. Think a blend of the classic sound of UNDERTONES, BUZZCOCKS, VIBRATORS, BOYS etc. mixed with the newer-old sound of The CUTE LEPERS, The EXPLODING HEARTS etc.
LET'S DANCE - Calling All Cars 7" (No Front Teeth Rec.)Four killer new cuts from these Canadian delinquents following their sick debut 'Summer Breeze' and their split with Avenue Rose. Let's Dance bring you the sounds of punk, powerpop and early hardcore blended into one tasty treat for your ears. Heavily influenced by late 70’s punk and power-pop, Let's Dance write fast, energetic songs full of catchy hooks and melodic sing-along choruses that force their audience to heed the bands namesake demand... this is proper party music!!
For fans of CUTE LEPERS, EXPLODING HEARTS, CARBONAS, BRIEFS etc.
PEGS - Livin' At The Surf Motel 7" (No Front Teeth Rec.)The punks in pink are back... hell yeah... 3 brand new cuts of snotty beach punk reminiscent of the original Posh Boy sound... this is Beach Blvd. 2008!!! Don't miss out on this killer shit... Think a blend of the classic Posh Boy sound merged with the classic Hostage sound and you got the PEGS... For fans of TSOL, The CROWD, RIK L. RIK, The GEARS, The SIMPLETONESS...
Tracks: Livin' At The Surf Motel / Cops and Dogs / Nightmare
BOTOX RATS / DEAD RINGERS Split-7" (No Front Teeth Rec.)Two exclusive new cuts each from London’s snotty glam punks The BOTOX RATS (featuring members of No Front Teeth, The DISCO LEPERS, The SHANGHAI WIRES, LOW SCORE CITY and more) and San Francisco’s frantic garage punks The DEAD RINGERS. This is a wild and sleazy slab on black and pearl (or spunk) coloured wax with great artwork to boot... this is pure style.
Tracks:
BOTOX RATS: Shakespearean Suicide / I Bleed Red Wine
DEAD RINGERS: Over Reaction / Sutter Street
REVELATORS - Let A Poor Boy Ride (Crypt Rec.)The unissued 2nd album, recorded in 2 days in 1998, and a goddamn masterpiece! John Schooley, Jeremiah and Bill Randt (back then drummer for the New Bomb Turks) wail through 13 cuts and reach the ultimate climax with "Jitterbug Swing". Play at the right volume (yess - all the way up, buddy) and get blown away by Schooleys buzzsaw guitar and Jerimiah's howlin' vocals. Tracks: We Told You Not To Cross Us/ Missouri Mule/ I Can't Stop Lovin'/ Love One Day/ Killin' Me/ Jack Johnson/ What I Want/ It's A Sin/ Lone Star/ Take It Back/ Buzzard & The Hawk/ Rainin In My Heart/ Jitterbug Swing.
MOVIE STAR JUNKIES - Junkyears - Rarities and Farm Recordings 2005-2007 LP (Avant! Rec.)If you have listened to their first LP on VoodooRhythm or had the chance to see em live during their April US Tour, we will probably agree with me about the great quality of these dudes. Now AV! gives you 7 tracks from their dark past, 2005-2007 indeed, whose only a couple of cuts were out on the very limited tape by No-Fi...the rest is unleashed now...23 minutes circa of raw, raunch, paranoid ""blues-punk"" in the very vein of Birthday Party and whynot Suicide as well.
350 copies, hand-silkscreened sleeves!!!
CITY SWEETHEARTS - I'm A Mess 7" (Red Lounge Rec.)(New Toronto / Canada band from Curtis Dixon: ex-VICIOUS CYCLE, Vassil: MARVELOUS DARLINGS drummer / ex- HEART ATTACKS!

CITY SWEETHEARTS are spending the next month on finishing the LP for P.Trash and recording it with Ben Cook during the summer..)
MANO DE MONO - Same 7" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! With members from JUANITA Y LOS FEOS, CLOROX GIRLS, VON GRAPPA and TOYOTAS / Ex-DEAN DIRG. This 4-track EP is their solo debut, where they show a perfect blend of punk with keyboards. New wave garage and catchy tunes that surely will make you jump all over the room like a possessed Gibraltar barbary macaque. http://www.myspace.com/lamanodemono
NURSES, LAS - Apples & Hatreds 7" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)After a terrific first single, they come back with two new sharp noisy post-punk bombs. A must for all those who enjoyed their first one and for all of you who don?t know them yet. Post-punk close to WIRE or GANG OF FOUR and also nowadays bands like INTELLIGENCE or The HUNCHES.
CONCENTRATION SUMMER CAMPS - You Hate CSC 7" (Discos Humeantes Rec.)Just imagine a rectal examination with the BIG BOYS blaring on the speakers. Right, that kind of baffling pleasure is what these Valencia drug addicts are providing in their new 7". Clean and maddening guitars to the rhythm of the best American punk hardcore, with more than evident influences. They are the best Spanish punk hardcore band since their acclaimed 7" "No Patines en mi rampa" came out.
HOLLYWOOD - Baltimore Queens 7" (Ken Rock Rec.)After one 7”ers and a LP (on big neck in the US) and one 7” on spin the bottel they are back, and now they are 5 members instead of 3, so now they have the bass player and more fucking guitars and that fucking great so now you can expect even more balls then you can shake. The records have three songs. With lots of gut gut guitars. So it will be no problem for you to use some bad bad drugs when you play it. But remember kenrock says no to bad drugs. Tracks are 1, Schizo. 2, Grown ass man 3, Paco platter.
www.myspace.com/theehollywoods
SILVER SHAMPOO - Jethro Skull 7" (Whats Your Rupture Rec.)"Jethro Skull" is the debut EP from Texas party-rockers/mini-bike gang SILVER SHAMPOO. DIY Punk and Bubblegum featuring Paul and Daniel from WAX MUSEUMS. It's our estimation that many a silent night in neighborhoods across America will be interrupted by the drunken slurring of "Jeeettthhhhrrrooooooo Skkkkkkuuuulllll".
JEFFREY NOVAK - One of a Kind / Short Trip Home 7" (Sweet Rot Rec.)After turning quite a few heads with his self-released debut LP and Shattered Records 7", JEFFREY NOVAK (Cheap Time) is back with another two song single of quirky pop bliss. Both songs are so good, we had to flip a coin to pick the A-side. His second LP "Baron in the Trees" will be coming out next year on In the Red Records. This is a one time only pressing! http://www.myspace.com/jeffreydavidnovak
SHACKLES - Broken Arm / Funeral Shroud 7"(Sweet Rot Rec.)

BOBBY UBANGI - Inside The Mind Of Bobby Ubangi LP (Rob`s House Rec.)Atlanta's champion craftsman of the three-chord garage sing-a-longs goes by the name of BOBBY UBANGI and this record is a rare trip inside the same mind that brought you the LIDS and the GAYE BLADES. Recorded on 4 track, the most humblest of DIY methods, the tracks range from lo fi rockers to sappy garage tear jerkers but with guest appearances by OLD KING COLE YOUNGER (BLACK LIPS), JARED SWILLEY (BLACK LIPS), KING KHAN, GENTLEMAN JESSE, and many others 'inside the mind of' is anything but simple. the LPs 12 track pack a punch and attest to the wonders an able song writer can do with just three simple chords!

The 5 french psychedelic mod garage punkers SHEETAH ET LES WEISSMUELLER launch their first album at the world's stunned face. Sounding like a mix of Ronnie Bird, the SEEDS and the REMAINS they proudly present 11 original compositions and a powerful version of My Little Red Book. Sheetah et les Weissmueller started their career in 1962 and toured intensively until 1966 when they accidentally swallowed a magic potion that made them travel through time.

French beat at it's best! Buy it and come to the show!
IDOL LIPS - Too Much For The City LP (Bondage Rec.)Remember HOMOPLASTIK from Italy. Well probably not, but this new Italian band reminds me of a more nishistic version of that band. Just solid catchy vicious leads atop a wall of thundering bass, backed by some catchy dual vocal chorus. The STITCHES took this brand of swaggering fuck all punk and made it a house hold name in the underground in the late 90..s. Well the IDOL LIPS are back to take over the throne with their own spite filled, piss n vinegar punk. Rich Bitch, Drinkin About You and Kick Your Ass pretty much exemplify what the IDOL LIPS are all about. Not hear to save the world, but they..ll probably have more boozed and coke filled stories in a month, than you ever will in your life. 9 tracks total, full color sleeve and the band self released it. Good shit, if yer keepin up! http://www.myspace.com/idollips

The forces have deadly units to prepare future soldiers for day x. We have countless ground troops, and we have the mother ship of chaos - HENRY FIAT'S OPEN SORE!

STATIC STATIC - Witchmouth / Kill Us Operator 7" (Neat Neat Neat Rec.)more info soon...
ESTRANGED - Entranced b/w Vilified 7" (Dead Ideas Rec.)After two great 7"s earlier in 2008, here is another great 7"s from Portland's own The ESTRANGED. With members having done time in the bands Remains Of The Day, Hellshock, From Ashes Rise, and Warcry, this trio takes on a style a bit removed from their hardcore roots, drawing from influences like The WIPERS, MISSION OF BURMA, WIRE and WARSAW.
HYGIEN 7" (Dire Rec.)

SO COW - Same LP (Tic Tac Totally Rec.)A SO COW LP! Here's 18 choice numbers from Tuam's favored songsmith and overall pop genius Brian Kelly. This LP includes selected tracks from his self-released CDs, the two singles, plus a dash of new material making it the fucking greatest LP ever made. Hahaha. All of this was remastered from the original recordings by Mr. Bob Weston (the archival genius that brought ya that J.T. IV LP) and his slightly less expensive accomplice Carl Saff. So no expense nor headache was spared to bring you the finest in SO COW tunery just in time for his world fucking tour. Brace yourself American buttheads.
For those who do not know SO COW, get this! For those who know SO COW, I know you will already! For people looking forward to the HOMOSEXUALS LP... this will do for now! We finally trapped the goods in a good proper LP.
STATIC STATIC - Psychic Eyes LP (Tic Tac Totally Rec.)Official release of the Psychic Eyes LP in case ya weren't able to get one of the 200 hand-screened tour copies last year. Static Static combine live and electronic instruments and percussion in a way that produces a serious sounding, sharpened state of bright and hynotic electronic fuzz punk. Citing influences like DEVO, CHROME, ELECTRIC EELS, SUICIDE you can gather an image pretty quickly. You probably know the deal by now with their string of EPs on 4:2:2, Hozac and more. Definitely a must have rocker with a reserved and serious no bullshit sound that shirks all the speculative bullshit for a straight ahead approach with no time for anything but good fucking songs.
"Taking equal parts of VOLT and SPIDER and molding it into a whole new spectrum of sonance, STATIC STATIC have remained in the shadows long enough, and it's time Los Angeles realized what a great resource they have lurking around in it's dark corners." - Todd Killings VoT
LOS RIZILLOS - La Rapidez Sin Potencia No Es Control LP (Bowery Rec.)
more info soon...
HUSSY - Winter Daze 7" (Fistful Of Rec.)The Hussy is Madison, Whizzconsin two-piece Heather and Bobby, who used to play in a loud band called Cats Not Dogs. As The Hussy they now have a brand-new record out, called the Winter Daze e.p. On this 45 our two heroes are spitting out six poppy punk / punky pop nuggets, thus cramming three songs into each side, all 1-2 minute songs about dogs, cars and girlfriends that cannot read. They manage to create a tasty and catchy audio cocktail of beer, piss, lemonade and vinegar rock ‘n’ roll......Oh yes, on the Winter Daze e.p., male and female vocals alternate, and sometimes combine, to great effect. In this respect it even reminds one senior Fistful staff member of Exene Cervenka and John Doe’s glory days, if that makes any sense (anyone out there remembers X’s great album Under The Big Black Sun ?) . “The Hussy collides Bobby’s garage-rock riffage, Heather’s considerable drum-pumeling skills, and playfully obnoxious vocals from both.” declared the Milwaukee Onion, and man, if they say things like that then you can be sure you’re not wasting your money.
RED MASS - Too Many Parties/ Kinda Funny 7" (Wallride Rec.)
more info soon...
SHITTY LIMITS - Limit's Appear 7" (Wallride Rec.)
more info soon...
SUNPOWER/ REPROACH LIVE LP (Holy Shit! Industries Rec.)This is an instant piece of Belgian hardcore history. Two of the most essential Belgian hardcore bands, the way they are best ... live. Moreover, the sleeve of the LP is a perfect recollection of a decade of SUNPOWER and REPROACH shows.
ELECTRIC VOMIT - 1979 Montreal Punk 7" (Garbage Bag Rec.)Formed in 1978 by acclaimed underground cartoonist Rick Trembles as a young teen, The Electric Vomit were one of the very few bands in Montreal to come out of the first wave of punk rock in the late 70's. Due to a lack of record labels and a widespread disinterest for punk rock in the area, the band never got much of a chance to spread the word, let alone release any recordings of their music. But now for the first time ever you can hear what was one of the rawest, fastest and most obnoxious bands in Montreal back in the day. The Electric Vomit were known for their garage approach to song-writing & lo-fi live stage theatricalities geared to repulse. These 3 extremely rare studio recordings were committed to reel-to-reel in 1979 featuring Rabid Roy Random's amazingly snotty vocals, Rick Trembles on guitar, Guy Lapointe on drums, and Carlos Soria on bass (who would later joined his little brother's renowned band The Nils). This record is sure to please fans of both traditional punk and hardcore as this band is the missing link between the sound of '77 and early thrash. Pretty fast for it's era, you could even call it proto-hardcore. 100% raw KBD (Killed By Death) material. Includes full lyrics & an anecdotal band bio written by Trembles.
LOSER LIFE - My Hell MLP (Taken By Surprise Rec.)Euro Repress as a one-sided 12" with silkscreen art on the flip and an extra song!
On MY HELL, the Bakersfield Four blast rnthrough 6 tracks of hardcore punk a la NAKED RAYGUN, ARTICLES OF FAITH, rnBORN AGAINST, etc. After a handful of EPs, an LP on MAGIC BULLET and a rnfew thousand miles worth of touring, it is clear that LOSER LIFE have rnmastered their Chicago meets DC by way of Bakersfield sound. With lyrics rnfocusing on disconnection and the inability to function properly in a rnrelationship without falling into the realm of self pity, MY HELL is rnperfect punk music for when the skies are cloudy and gray!!
IMPACT - Solo Odio LP (Gonna Puke Rec.)Official and licensed reissue for one of the few all-time classic lps of the first wave of Italian hardcore. Hailing from Ferrara, early 80’s era, IMPACT , along with WRETCHED, NEGAZIONE, INDIGESTI and DECLINO, set the stylistic and esthetic standards for a musical genre, later to become world famous, that mixed the political vehemence of british tradition (such as that of CRASS and CONFLICT) with the violent riffs of early american hardcore (CIRCLE JERKS and ZERO BOYS above all). Ten songs, a little more than 15 minutes of musical and ideological assault, through which IMPACT became a legend and changed the lives of three generations of Italian punks to come.
JOHNNY & THE LIMELITES - And Then We Kissed 7" (Rocket Reducer Rec.)
300 copies... more info soon...
HUMAN MESS - Same LP (No Way Rec.)
Hailing from Bakersfield, CA - This band also shares members with CONTAMINATORS and LOSER LIFE so you know they know what they're doing here!! More info soon...
INSOMNIO- Happy Loneliness LP (No Way Rec.)US Pressing of these spanish punks brand new 12". A big step up for them as well, throwing in a strong dark influence with twisted hooks and desperate lyrical content. It sounds like these guys and gal have been listening to a lot of WIPERS- "Over the Edge" and RADIO BIRDMAN- "Limits Appear". This lp still has the great old school spanish punk/hc elements like their 1st 2 records, bringing influence from bands like ESKORBUTO, RIP, and IV REICH. All in all, this is a great punk album for fans of punk.
NO SYSTEM - Dead Bands Tell No Tales 7" (No Way Rec.)1985 Boston area HARDCORE PUNK w/ AL QUINT (Suburban Voice/MRR/ETC) on vocals and PTL KLUB supplying the music here. Sounds a lot like early Boston HC like DYS, NEGATIVE FX, FU's, DEEP WOUND but with their own flavor mixed in as well. Has an awesome cover of "Doomsday" by Dicharge and awesome liner notes from AL QUINT himself. This was originally released as a demo, but now sees the light of day on VINYL! Limited to a one time pressing!
HJERTESTOP - Vi Ses I Helvede LP (No Way Rec.)US pressing of this instant classic. Catchy, melodic yet totally furious hardcore-punk from these crazy danish punks. Some songs will have you tapping your foot with their mid paced-slower anthems, yet some will have you breaking glass to a hardcore banger. This is the debut full-length from Copenhagens new heroes. "vi ses i helvede" is a great follow up to the amazing 1st 7". You'll get 10 fantastic catchy tracks that can smash your eardrums with a fast paced ripper and then rip your ears off with a slowed down melodic punk jam! If your into that new-wave of scandinavian bands or your sick off all your old classic american bands like REAGAN YOUTH etc. you'll love this for shure. "This is the best punk album to come out of Copenhagen since the YOUNG WASTENERS lp."!!! You can hear some tracks on their myspace page at- www.myspace.com/hjertestop
VIOLENT ARREST- Criminal Record 2x7" (No Way Rec.)The UK's VIOLENT ARREST return with twelve brand new raging hardcore blasts on two 45 rpm 7"s! Refusing to let up one bit from their first two releases on Deranged, V.A. continues to pummel you from start to finish with their savage brand of early US-by-the-way-of-UK hardcore. If spending the last two decades in classic UK bands like HERESY, RIPCORD, DUMBSTRUCK, and SPITE (to name a few) wasn't testament enough to these lads' abilities, CRIMINAL RECORD proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that these hardcore vets can still rip it up with the best of them.
JOLIS - Same LP (Scanner Rec.)Miguel the drummer of the AGGRAVATION has just created, a new label, “Scanner Records”. The first disc is the LP of “JOLIS". Cover by Antipesto!!! More info soon!!
WAVVES - Same LP (Woodsist Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Lo-fi beach punk anthems by San Diego's Nathan Williams. Beautiful timeless melodies on top trash can guitars and blown out drums. 14 tracks in 35 minutes.
IDLE TIMES - Get Your Feet Off the Ground 7" (Woodsist Rec.)Debut release from 27 year old Brian Standeford. After the quick dissolution of his previous band TALL BIRDS, Standeford began recording songs onto cassette in his Seattle home using a Tascam 4-track, practice amps and a toy drum kit. Loner bedroom psych at its best. Edition of 500 on black vinyl.
CRYSTAL STILTS - Same LP (Woodsist Rec.)Crystal Stilts started in Brooklyn in 2003 as Brad Hargett and JB Townsend. Not really trying to be a "band" they recorded and self-released their single "Shattered Shine" on their Feathery Tongue label in '04 with friend Sean Mafucci (producer of Gang Gang Dance, Psychic Ills, Kid Congo Powers etc.) With no shortage of lazy Jesus and Mary Chain and Factory records comparisons, (more like VU, Felt, and Blue Orchids) in 2005-06 they continued to play in New York with bands such as the Long Blondes, 1990s and The Monochrome Set and recorded a 4 song ep. Kyle Forrester (Ladybug Transistor etc. etc.) joined them at gigs playing organ as well. After a brief hiatus to record there back catalogue for upcoming LP (Slumberland) they adopted Andy Adler (who played bass on Eric Copeland of Black Dice fuzzpop outfit Ninjas) to rock the bass. After opening for the Clean in November, Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls) waltzed into their life to play the stand-up drums and complete the equation.
VIVIAN GIRLS - Tell The World 7" (Woodsist Rec.)Irresistible mix of shoegaze, punk, and 60's girl-group sounds with beautiful reverb drenched vocals. features three self recorded tracks of lo-fi goodness.
MENEGUAR - The In Hour LP (Woodsist Rec.)Switching instruments and experimenting with recording techniques, Meneguar has cooked up a totally unique(and surprising) record. The In Hour channels the spontaneity and aesthetics of Swell Maps, the pop hooks of the Zombies, and lyrical collage of Guided By Voices. Everything was home recorded at their little Xanadu in Brooklyn, Rear House, home base to the Woodsist label and the changing roster of Meneguar's alter egos(Woods, Shepherds). Only six months since their last record, The In Hour represents a serious departure that still holds true to the band's undeniable pop sensibility.
BLANK DOGS - The Fields LP (Woodsist Rec.)HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! "BlankDogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks or bedspreads, but that's fine. The aura of anonymity allows you to focus on the sounds -- and, really, he might be releasing a ton of things, but there's definitely a higher jam to crap ratio. It's like Joy Division vocal lines with the Cure's synth and guitar melodies filtered through ancient submerged keyboards and eroded recording equipment. And that voice? All the feedback in the world can't hide his knack for melody." -stereogum
PINK REASON - Winona 7" (Woodsist Rec.)"During a show with hardcore punks Hatefuck, DeBroux and company traveled to Winona, Minnesota. After a five-hour drive to the town, wasted locals, angry punks and gnarled three-legged dogs greeted them by leading them into a commandeered park. Inside the park, DeBroux found "the ultimate punk rock experience" with townies huffing rubber glue and mohawk-brandishing kids starting fights with crusties. The show ended and the locals gave the band three dollars for their troubles. A few kids asked DeBroux and company to chip in the three dollars on a keg. Soon, the crowd dispersed and left the band with no money or place to stay. The band wound up sleeping on an island between Minnesota and Wisconsin and breaking up soon thereafter. He wrote the first Pink Reason song, "Winona," about this experience."
16 - Bridges To Burn LP (Relapse Rec.)16 just won't die despite drug and alcohol abuse, a revolving door of members and the general misery of the individuals involved. "Bridges to burn" marks the 16th anniversary of the band and features the line-up from their classic 1996 "Drop out" record, providing another dozen tunes of pounding sludge that mixes the sound of bands like HELMET, UNSANE, MELVINS, DYSTOPIA and EYEHATEGOD!!!
BLEW UP - Same 7" (Relax-o-Matic Vibrator Rec.)Recommended follower to the HATEPINKS - Auto-Ejection MLP on Relax-o-Matic Vibrator. Amazing Garage Blues Punk! more info soon...
WOLFDEN - Coconut 7" (Rocket Reducer Rec.)So, like, Dan from VEEDEE is a hilarious dude, right? Well, now you can own that hilarity on vinyl! It's goddamn awesome pop/rock, and the lyrics are like Raffi for adults. They sing about coconuts, being a wolf, and liking shellfish! Myself, I don't. I'm not Jewish, or anything, but I am from the midwest, and if I eat fish, it's gotta be a Friday in Lent that I'm hanging out with my dad. Fish is gross.-Pat Rocket Reducer- 300 copies on black. Hand numbered.
STABS - Split Lips 7" (Stained Circles Rec.)
more info soon...
BLANK DOGS - In Here 7" (Down In The Ground Rec.)My two favorite BLANK DOGS tracks (A-SIDE from the amazing 12" Woodsist Rec.) on a single slab of wax. Full color sleeve by MR. BLANK DOGS himself with a limited pressing. PRE-ORDER welcome!!!
GRAVE BLANKETS - Our Love Is Real b/w Tripwire 7" (HoZac Rec.)Emerging out of the spectacular modern musical hotbed of Columbus, Ohio, Grave Blankets are one of those bands that write colossal hooks into their songs that stick to your ribs upon first listen and furiously embed themselves into your evoked set of perilous preferences. Stripped of any gloss or NME hype, Grave Blankets offer a true picture of how disgustingly pure rock'n roll is done, as they careen and writhe under your skin and somehow walk away with one of the most memorable hits of the year, in a year already full of stellar releases.
MEDICATION - Don't Die b/w Fog 7" (HoZac Rec.)The cold, dark waves of desperation and imminent mortal doom ring true on this debut 7" from MEDICATION, a home recording project from Conneticut that delves into the drifting echo-filled world of Mikey Hyde, who makes no qualms about addressing the despair and melancholy vibes swirling around his cranium. With jangling, distant orchestrations plodding alongside the beat of an old gypsy drum, this might just be the epically Autumnal record that sets you straight this year, and fans of PINK REASON might just find a new perennial favorite within these desolate grooves.
SUBTLE TURNHIPS - Fuck The People Fuck The Power 7" (HoZac Rec.)If they let people in America gargle with razorblades like they allow the folks in France, then the mighty force of the SUBTLE TURNHIPS would be as big as Paris Hilton's forehead, and ten times as ugly. As an enigmatic band that's been mostly self-releasing records for the past eighteen years, the time has come for their first US release, and we're mighty proud to host them on our label. With their slop-punk aesthetic effectively tickling the nuances of SWELL MAPS, TV PERSONALITIES, DRUNKS WITH GUNS and BRAINBOMBS, this is one 7" EP that will win over anyone with a lick of good taste, and/or a pulse."
CLOCKCLEANER - Skinheaded Lady b/w Hate City 7" (Stained Circles)
Here we have the new and rumored to be final recording from Philly nose pickers, CLOCKCLEANER. Not a ton of copies to sell so pre-order fast!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
CRETEENS / STRAIGHT ARROWS 7" (Resistance A Go-Go Rec.)
infos soon...
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?!!).
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
