FUTURE PROJECTS 2012
GHETTO WAYS - I Always Wanted You LP
After months of delay the Limd. 100 "P.Trash Club Picture- Disc" version is in the press plant now!
ZEBRASSIERES - Gooey Zoo LP
zebrassieres-lp-mix.mp3
Limd. 300 Europe-Repress of their long sold out debut, originally released on Going Gaga Records in 2010. Remastered by Dave Williams (SEDATIVES, STEVE ADAMYK BAND, CRUSADES,...) at "Rock Among Us", comes with silkscreen sleeve and new artwork!
ZEBRASSIERES is fashionably good, fashionably stylish, and fashionably unforgettable. This relatively unheard of Ottawa band popped out of a few different networks sometime in 2008. They created a style and a sound of their own. A 4 piece setup, guitar, bass, farfisa organ, and drums, shared vocals, huge hooks, awesome singing, and great melodies. The songwriting is somewhere between New-Wave, Pop-Punk and straight ahead Punk. This album marks their first 8 songs ever to see the light of day. Recognizable similarities tie them to bands like the OKOMONIKS, the DICKIES, DEVO, and the SPITS.
Recorded by Jordan Bell and Ian Showalter.
Mixed by Paul "Yogi" Granger in 2010.
Album art by Mike Haddad.
(Scheduled for early 2012)
FUNFUNS - Same Oneside LP
funfuns-mix.mp3
Limd. 300 comes with silkscreen sleeve!
This 7 song record from Calgarys FUNFUNS was supposed to be released on Going Gaga Records, but not anymore since Ian is taking a break. Members of ZEBRASSIERES!!! They went down to Portland to record with Pat Kearns, the same guy who recorded EXPLODING HEARTS, CLOROX GIRLS, RED DONS and REVISIONS. This is the band that happened before ZEBRASSIERES, but it's more straight forward power pop and punk than ZEBRASSIERES. Think STEVE ADAMYK BAND meets RAMONES!!!
(Scheduled for early 2012)

glow-kit-lp-mix.mp3

THE SPLITS - Debut LP
THE SPLITS from Helsinki FINLAND was formed in summer 2010. At the time, none of the band members could not play their instument that well. Singer-guitarist Kiti had been playing in a school band when she was 10 years old. The drummer Aiju had another band (THE SEEKRETS) where she played the guitar - the first time she started drumming at the first SPLITS rehearsals. Guitarist Helena and bass player Maiju had never been in any bands, but this seemed like a good time to start.
In the spring 2011 the girls recorded some of their songs with a small cassette player. After putting the super lo-fi recordings online, their friend told them that he could help the girls to record better versions with less static and noise.
Then things started happening. After a weekend at the rehearsal space of the friend's band, DEATH LASER, THE SPLITS had recorded ten songs. And after hearing the songs, another friend, DJ HyväVille, sent the tapes to his friend Peter from German record label P.Trash. Peter told he wanted to release a full length LP. The girls were surprised and happy, but also kinda shocked. They had spent their evenings in the basement, and they had not even played any gigs! The girls decided to play some live shows, and record some more songs.
Airiston Punk-Levyt was interested in releasing a 7" single, so they decided to release two of the songs. The songs on the 7" are going to be on the forthcoming album as well, but with different versions.
THE SPLITS love music, and listen to it a lot. Punk and garage mostly. Some theories suggest that listening to music might affect you in a way that you get the urge to make some music of your own, and at least in this case that's what happened.
Here's some of the bands that have influenced THE SPLITS:
Blondie, Meanies, Cracked Actor, Jay Reatard, Oblivians, Gories, Reigning Sound, L7, Lost Sounds, Micragirls, Pagans, Wipers & M.O.T.O.
(Scheduled for early 2012)

DIGITAL LEATHER - Modern Problems LP
digitalleather01.mp3
This a co-release with our pal Eric from FDH Records. The P.Trash part is for the P.Trash Clubmembers only!!! This version will get a special sleeve and different artwork...
Shawn talked about this record:
I grew up in Yuma, Arizona (Guinness named it the sunniest place on Earth). It borders California and Mexico, where I spent a lot of time. Dropped out of high school pretty early, drifted around for awhile, then moved to Tucson and started taking classes at the University of Arizona. I have a degree in 19th century American Lit. Spent a chunk of college loan money on gear and got hooked on recording songs.
While attending, I met JAY REATARD through a mutual friend. Jay liked my stuff. Did some tours with him. Released several CDR’s, a self-titled LP and some singles. Put out a record on Jay’s label, Shattered. Later, with Goner, then Fat Possum among others. He and I were very close friends and big fans of each other’s music, often covering each other’s songs. My large catalog is in part due to trying to keep up with him.
I was in a destructive relationship and tired of Arizona. I moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 2009 after finishing Warm Brother (Fat Possum) and started an four-month tour with a newly-formed lineup. In 2010, after Jay died, I left Fat Possum. I decided I needed a change of scene so I seized an opportunity and moved to Berlin. That’s where the inspiration to do Modern Problems first came to me. The demo for “Soup” was recorded there. Berlin had a big impact on me. There is so much culture and life in that city. Spending time there with someone special made it even more amazing. I lived there over 3 months, then went on an insane month-long European tour. I flew back to Omaha hoping to work on my album. Trying to keep it short but potent...
Modern Problems is a narrative of the grieving process. I wanted to explore that universal experience with real ambition, so I created a kind of alter ego to relate the story of a loss, which is where the record starts- when the protagonist has lost a loved one and is in denial. He battles with despair and anger, vainly seeks hope. The final acceptance in “Door” comes reluctantly. I didn’t want to get too cerebral so I decided to keep the music itself upbeat and somewhat simple in order to complement the heavy topics.
For Modern Problems I took my time with the writing and just let life happen. The songs came naturally. I vocalized more on this record than in the past. My voice sometimes cracked like a pubescent teenager’s, but instead of covering that up I decided to just let it show. Actually, there’s no digital editing on MP. I wanted to keep it pure in that sense. Tracks were laid in one or two takes.
Modern Problems was recorded 100% on tape. By myself. In my home. I’ve recorded albums in all kinds of studios on all kinda of rigs. These songs needed a warm medium and an intimate setting to work and I had the set-up. At first I tried to distance myself emotionally from the content, but I found out almost immediately that wasn’t going to happen. This is personal stuff, and I hope it will strike a note with listeners beyond the catchiness and directness of the compositions.
I signed with Absolutely Kosher in late Spring 2011, but they made the hard decision to close their doors after 13 years of business. So I called up some friends at FDH (who released Jay Reatard’s synthpunk masterpiece World of Shit) and we decided to proceed, now P.Trash jumped also into the boat to get 100 copies for his P.Trash Nerd-Club. The P.Trash version will get a silkscreen jaket sleeve, comes with an amazing artwork by Elzo Durt!
