VINYL DOG (USA)
The Stitches- 8 x 12 LP
-The first 16 seconds of this LP are everything you need to know about
the Stitches. Mike Lohrman counts off, sounding oddly alone, the room
echoing behind him. The song lurches: raw, ragged, as low and slow as
a B-17 bomber. But before you can finish the thought, theyve jumped a
beat ahead. The song revs up and then doubles over itself. Its all those
months of speed and strangling boredom; its a band fucked up on meth and
booze as they were every session, pushing everything out as fast and hard
as they can because for all they know, its going to disappear again into
a black hole of white noise, just like the last time they tried to record.
There isnt a shred of calculation or restraint in this entire LP. Its
nothing but instinct soon to be a Stitches trademark. This is without
a doubt the best punk rock record of the 1990s.The STITCHES are the true
kings of the underground and 8x12 is there masterpiece. 100% pure PUNK
ROCK!!!! Wake up people the STITCHES are the real Mckoy!!!!
TKO RECOREDS (USA)
Real Kids- Down To You 7”
-This Boston-based punk-rock band is led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter
John Felice. Felice grew up in Natick, Massachusetts as a neighbor and
friend of Jonathan Richman, a fellow fan of The Velvet Underground. As
a 15-year old he joined Richman in the first line-up of The Modern Lovers
in late 1970. He performed with the band intermittently between then and
1973. Felice than decided to start his own band, and formed The Real Kids
(originally named The Kids), in 1972, with Rick Coraccio (bass), Steve
Davidson (guitar), and Norman Bloom (drums). They became a successful
live band in the Boston area, playing "an aggressive brand of straight-ahead,
no-bullshit rock which harkened back to Chuck Berry, had overtones of
the British Invasion groups at their mod finest, yet pointed the way towards
a new genre at that time called punk. Capable of writing great, catchy
pop-rock material, Felice and Real Kids opted for sloppy, beer and drug-induced
"who cares" punk attitude, making them darlings of local CBGB's-styled
scene, but ultimately keeping them from larger, mainstream success. This
is another two song winner for the Real Kids, and still makes you scratch
your head wondering why they're not bigger.
TURBOROCK RECORDS (France)
Live Fast Die- Bandana Thrash Bloopers 7”
-Another awesome LFD blaster here! Fast punkrock, lo fi and garagey as
all h*e*ll. Doesn't really sound like anything else but reminds of a lot
of great stuff like the Mummies, GG and the Reatards. Great songs, great
sound, great band. This single contains 3 songs including a searing take
on the Wards classic 'Gonna Have Some Fun'. Yeah this is f**u**cking awesome!!!
FRENCH IMPORT THAT WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!
Bellrays- S/T 7”
-This is the newest single from this great Los Angeles band, that continue
to perfect the rock n soul subgenre that they miticuloudly created. 2
track on this single ‘You Got The Power’ and ‘Les Cornichons’
that show why they continue to be one of the best soul driven rock n roll
bands of our time. Bonus props for the really nice looking THICK ass cardboard
sleeve. Get it while ya can as it was limited to 500 COPIES!!
HC CLASSICS (Finland)
Black Flag- White Minority LP
-Black Flag was a hardcore band that formed in 1977 in southern California,
largely as the brainchild of Greg Ginn: the guitarist, primary songwriter
and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes. They are
widely considered the first hardcore punk band.
Black Flag forged a unique sound early
on that mixed the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal and microtonal
guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts. Over this could be heard lyrics—mostly
written by Ginn—about isolation, neurosis, poverty, and paranoia;
themes which did not disappear when Henry Rollins took on the role of
lead singer in 1981.
This LP shows Black Flag live in their
prime at the Starship club in Milwaukee onJuy 17th, 1981 and the track
list destoys from start to finish. The back of the LP jacket also shows
some really cool old photos of the band. A must for the Black Flag fan.
Husker Du- Ultracore LP
-Hüsker Dü was a US punk rock band formed in St. Paul, Minnesota
in 1979. The band's continual members were guitarist Bob Mould, bassist
Greg Norton, and drummer Grant Hart. Hüsker Dü never achieved
mainstream success, but attained an influence far larger than its modest
sales figures would indicate when the band was around. Following a series
of successful albums, including Zen Arcade (1984) and New Day Rising (1985),
the band signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1986, becoming one of the first
American underground rock bands to sign with a major record label.
Hüsker Dü first gained notice
as a hardcore punk band with thrashing tempos and screamed vocals and
this LP captures the band in the heart of that prime. This LP was recorded
live at the Backstage on December 28th 1982 in Tucson, AZ. The back of
the LP jacket also includes some cool flyers from shows that they played
sharing the stage with the likes of the D*icks, The Vandals, Youth Brigade,
Conflict, Minutemen and the Stains. A must for the Husker Du fan.
Dead Kennedys- Moral Majority LP
-Great sound for a live record. The LP includes a 14 song live set from
the DK’s recorded live in London on July 4th 1982.
DEMOLITION DERBY (Belgium)
Electric Frankenstein- The Time Is Now! LP
-The best, most exciting punkish album from New York in over a decade
is no small feat. Consider how many have been made in that time! But The
Time Is Now is the real McCoy. Song after song rips by, with the requisite
drive, energy, tight power, muscle, attitude, and smacking chops. This
is punk built on guitar riffs -- mean, angry, and measured -- paired with
the clean, dense production often favored by Australians. In fact, a few
songs echo the power riff from the Saints' "(I'm) Stranded,"
and Steve M.'s barking vocals recall the aggressive yelp of the Misfits'
Glenn Danzig (without the crooning) or Dead Boy Stiv Bators. From the
crunching "E. F. Theme" (formerly a 7" on Minttone), to
the equally seething "Teenage Shutdown," "Rise and Crash,"
and "Fast and Furious," there's no letup, just mid-tempo rockin'
killers led by two early '80s punks, guitarists Jim Foster (from the original
lineup of Adrenalin O.D.) and Sal Canzonieri. Hot stuff, and hard-as-nails
rock & roll.
The Accident- no romance for you LP
-This was originally released on CD in January 1999 in an edition of 1000
copies & was sold out before the end of that year. Since then there
were numerous requests for a repress & now it is available again in
a limited edition of 500 copies only on LP! A must for all Killed by Death
fans. Worldwide exclusive vinyl version of the cd on Chuckie-Boy recs
(Seattle) of this 1979 Olympia,Wa punk rock band who were featured on
KilledBy Death#9 with their 7" 'Kill the Bee Gees'. This LP has the
complete 7" + their entire recorded output available for the first
time on vinyl! Get it while you can!!
Lewd- Kill Yourself...Again 2xLP
-Been waiting for this reissue for nearly 15 years. Finally a legal reissue
of the 7" (tracks 1-3), the LP (4-15), plus 1978 demos (16-24), Kill
Yourself Outtakes (25-27) and two tracks from the first San Francisco
demo (28-29). I still like the 7" and LP best, but hey, you're get
these awesome demot tracks on top of that. Top notch absolutely essential
San Francisco punk. Reccomended!!
Jewws- S/T LP
-One of Texas's most talked about garage-rock bands give us 14 more reasons
to gawk and gossip. Obssessed with outer space and love gone wrong, THE
JEWWS take on mid-90's primitive punk makes it sound fresh and new again.
Belgian Import.
Jet Boys- Jet Patrol Lp
-Exclusive vinyl version of the Japan-only cd release with new artwork.
Buckle your seatbelts.the Jet Boys are the long-standing dukes of Japanese
pervo punk and never fail to impress with their revved up junkie rock
and over-the-top graphic identity...a Japanese Mad Magazine punk combo
with cool Johnny Thunders guitar licks and damn-the-torpedoes-full-speed-ahead
attitude....willfully stupid Ritalin rock for you hyperactive children
with expense accounts. RECCOMENDED!!!
Skip Jensen- Abscond LP
-Newest album here from Skip Jensen recorded in between Demon’s
Claws tours. For an idea what this Scat Rag Booster and now one-man band
sounds like, imagine blues-punk sung by Pere Ubu’s Dave Thomas with
his foot caught in a bear trap. That, of course, is a very good thing.
All songs were recorded in Jensen’s bathroom with a four-track on
the crapper, capturing every howl, tiled reverb, foot stomp and out-of-tune
twang in glorious lo-fi. Jensen’s songs are best bare, and on songs
like “High Horses,” he proves to be well versed in the blues.
His great take on garage folk on “Promised Land” shows the
homework has paid off well. Fans of Hasil Adkins, Oblivians and Bloodshot
Bill should take note.
The Perverts- For Perverts 7”
-Old single from the late great Perverts. 4 more blasts of the same fuzzed
out mayhem that has made their live shows legendary. Along with The Fuzztones,
The Lyres, and The Chesterfield Kings, the Perverts keep the scuzz a flowing.
Oldie, but goodie here.

bands... the Razors and Modern World. All tracks recorded live in Belgium
in a small club in 1978. A must for the Killed By Death collector.
HELL’S TONE RECORDS (Finland)
KYRE & DUUNARIT - S/T 7”
-“Hell Yes!! These bad boys from Finland kick you in the friggin’
head. This music is OI flavored Street Punk, with bass and drums bombarding
you, guitars chuggin along and gruff vocals tearing your laynyx out! The
SEVEN songs on this EP are all sung in Finnish and the lyrics sheet is
printed all Finnish (as it should be). Musically this shit is tough as
nails!! The blood- curdling deep vocals will make the hair on the back
of your neck stand up!! Good shit--reccomended for skinheads and punks
from Finland to Philadelphia”- Maximum Rock N Roll. If you’re
into stuff like the Templars or Bonecrusher, you gottat hear these guys.
Great EP.
Rejected/Stranded -Split 7"
-Stranded plays melodic old-school punk-rock which can pretty easily blow
your mind away. The group got together early in 2004. The band members
are all well-known figures in the Finnish punk-rock scene. In the 90's
lead singer I.Striker & bassist Sid Razor played together in L.A.M.F.
which is widely recognised as the most vicious and obnoxious punk-rock
band ever to come out from Finland. The other members of the band are
no greenhorn's either, guitarist Wayne led his own band Nollaseiska to
a decent success. Wayne even toured with the legendary TV Smith in Finland.
Henkka played in Endstand who toured Europe a few times. Backing them
are Finnish mainstays the Rejected. Musically there's some neat Social
Distortion lead guitar bits in there with overall effect being Swedish
oi kinda similar to Hard Sell or the Templars. Really good tunes overall
from the Rejected.
Verticals-S/T LP
-14 songs of punkified surfey garage rock. Kind of like and amped up Man
Or Astroman. Didn’t think I was going to like this, but god damn
if these songs aren’t catchy. Listened to it at least 10 times now,
which is more than many records get playage over here. LIMITED TO 500
COPIES AND ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!!
Antti Tuska & Vähämieliset:
Kosmista Suhinaa 7"
-ANTTI TUSKA & VÄHÄMIELISET will have their debut 7"
single "Live in Lappeenranta" out in fall. It will finally include
live songs only, because the band's studio sessions this far have been
drunk disasters and it seems a studio record might never happen for them.
If that didn't tell you the story yet, ANTTI TUSKA & VÄHÄMIELISET
(named after a Finnish pop star Antti Tuisku) is an hardcorepunk band
from Lappeenranta, who are known for being drunk as fuck on and off stage
and always having a hilariously violent, raging live set. For fans of
Kyre & Duunarit, Maho Neitsyt, any early Finnish hardcore will dig.
Anal Thunder- 4 AM Illusion LP
-When you think of Finland, what do you think of? Grind, Crust, Oi? Perhaps
but drinking, snotty, spitty, nihilistic skatepunk? No. That´s just
not Finland (well, except drinking part) but apparently these guys are
that. And they even have a split with one of my favourite HC bands No
Reedming Social Value that rules! Well this is drinking, fuckin and nihilistic
apathy skatepunk and it’s pretty damn good. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES
IN A GATEFOLD SLEEVE!!
BARSE- Negative Reaction CD
-Yes! I LOVE this shit! Durham, England's Barse sound SO authentically
"UK 1977" that it's scary! And I mean that in a GOOD way. These
blokes have all the raw, snotty, anthemic vigor of a young Slaughter and
The Dogs or a less-poppy BOYS, but they don't sound like rip-offs. They
sound like the real thing. It's as if they just stepped out of a time
machine. There are eighteen songs on this record, and they're all goddamn
BRILLIANT. I'm talking fast, tuneful, totally-fucking-great punk rock
with real limey vocals. I'm talking bratty, primitive, catchy-as-hell
three-chord noise. Barse have it all: style, attitude, and great songs
to boot. I could listen to this record all day. God bless BARSE!!!
Barse- If You Can't Fuck Em, Cut Em Up! CD
-Fifteen tracks of obnoxious street punk from Britain in vein of COCKSPARRER,
OXYMORON, BLITZ, MACC LADS, etc. If you can't tell form the title, this
band specializes in overly sacrastic and intentionally offensive lyrics.
If you feel the need to piss off your parents, neighbors and church-going
passers by than play this one super loud. Of course do it at your own
peril as you don't want to end up murdered by your girlfriend like the
lead vocalist of this band was a few weeks after this album was recorded!
Seriosly....WOAHHHHHHHHHH!
Heartburns/Barse- Split 7"
-The Heartburns mix old late 70’s and early 80’s influences
such as The Ramones or The Misfits with modern stuff like Zeke and Puffball.
Another two great songs full of energy and mean leads. The Heartburns
must totally shred live. Backing them is our favority UK bad boys Barse.
BARSE play '77 style punk that's in the early BUZZCOCKS vein, awesome!
The vocals are in the semi heavy Brit accent and the lyrics are totally
fucking retarded, like ANGRY SAMOANS "back from Samoa" era.
Their two songs are ‘Spunk In My Tea’ and “Breaking
Up Is Easy To Do”. Two more winners from BARSE here. LIMITED COPIES
AVAILABLE ON BRIGHT BLUE WAX!!
Barse- They Said It Couldn't Happen Here...
And It Didn't! LP/CD
-These great 1977 style punx dropped the "77" from the name
and now are simply know as BARSE. Oh my fucking god the very first song
on this disc already kills the "NEGATIVE REACTION" CD, and that
record totally slays. These cunts have gotten so good...better guitar,
catchy songs and even more soulful empasioned vocals! Like their obvious
influences BARSE seem to have the uncanny ability to stumble from one
hopeless situation to another and then another, but instead of getting
bitter and twisted about it they just go home and write songs about it.
Songs we can all relate to, have a smile about and get on with it. P-fucking
Rock in the vein of THE VIBRATORS, CHELSEA and BUZZCOCKS. This ones as
good as a cold beer on a hot summer day. LIMITED COPIES OF THE LP ON WHITE!!!
OIL RIVER RECORDS (USA)
Black Knots- Hellbent to Kick It Out CD
-At root, the Black Knots walk the line of AC/DC, Turbonegro, Danko Jones,
Nashville Pussy, Devil Dogs, Zeke, George Thorogood and the New Bomb Turks.
Many bands similar but different, uncompromising but the same. There will
always be cookie cutter bands regurgitating popular styles and teen movie
representations of suburban angst. At least in the reigning rock community
there is a level of comfort in knowing that the airwaves are a little
dirtier due to the Black Knots doing what so many other bands forgot was
possible… Kickin’ it out! They are a high-energy cross of
old punk textures, Social Distortion-esque song writing and with the driving
force of Motorhead. Love this disc. If like any of the above mentioned
bands, you need this one. RECCOMENDED!!
BIG NECK RECORDS (USA)
Lost Sounds- Memphis Is Dead LP/CD
-Finally, Big Neck Records has gotten around to repressing The Lost Sounds
first full length LP on WHITE VINYL! This was the very first foray by
Jay Reatard (The Reatards, Destruction Unit, Bad Times) and Alicja Trout
(The Fitts, The Clears, Destruction Unit) into his apocalyptic musical
nightmare of digital music meets garage rock. So, you can listen to it
the way it was meant to be, in analog, through a needle, out of piecemeal
built speakers, and on your home stereo system. Every one of these tracks
are disturbing with their frothing rage, unrestrained beauty, and wild
abandonment.
KK Rampage- S/T CD
-After the demise of the Functional Blackouts, Dr. Filth decided to go
his own direction and joined the already formed KK Rampage. Originally
released as a 10” ep on Rococo Records with a very small pressing,
Dr Filth and KK Rampage asked Big Neck to re-release this record on CD
with 3 added tracks. 10 tracks of Noise Rock, comparable to the Lost Sounds
on speed or even sounding like something that would come from Load Records
or Skingraft. Pretty heavy ear pummeling shit hear. Awesome cover art
by Dr. Filth as well.
Hollywood- Hits An All Time Low LP/CD
-Hits And All Time Low compiles the HOLLYWOOD lads' first two singles
with seven new cuts from their final days as a freebasing teen trio (a
2 guitars and drum assault -- 100% bass free!). 12 ragers in all, including
a Pretty Things cover that is less than pretty. Packing enough slimy-swagger
to fill your speakers and leave a rotgut residue you won't ever wanna
wipe after. With songs concerning the Middle East ("Human B.B.Q"),
your mom ("Momma"), neighborhood creeps ("Toucher"),
pretty boys ("Girl?"), and Ione Skye ("Ione Skye")
there's something for literally EVERYONE living OR breathing. That's why
Big Neck Records, longtime purveyors of all things sonically ROCK, have
shelled out for 500 of these fuggers in both beautiful LP and portable
CD formats. So DON'T MISS OUT. There simply aren't enough to go around.
Burndowns- S/T LP
-Steve Anderson couldn’t stand the fact that the Radio Beats demise
was way too early, he was restless, he had songs to write, albums to record,
so using this pent up energy Steve put together the all star band of the
decade...The Burndowns! Grabbing Chris from the Hamicks and SugarShack
(of the late Estrus Records fame), he rolled right into a new band and
a whole new rock n roll lifestyle. Keeping his trademark song writing
style that consisted of Dwarves speed with Devil Dogs hooks, and his own
raging vocals. 9 songs of a pure ragin rock n roll here. Comes with a
free download card.
Blacks- Call The Shots 7"
-Hell spawn roots punk from SWEDEN! The two Savage Brothers and their
drummer bang out 4 songs in the late Oblivians style. These boys can sure
whip out the lo-fi, trash-n-roll like the best of em.
Blacks- Shattered 7"
-The boys from Sweden are back! 3 tracks specifically recorded and released
for their east coast tour with Guitar Wolf. Now it's available to all
of you who missed them on tour. Don't miss out on these three trash, rock-n-roll
screamers from our boys at Savage.
Banatam Rooster- Mexican Leather 7"
-Bantam Roosters first release with new drummer Mike Alonso! Two of the
most messed up songs they could ever write and they wrote them especially
for Big Neck. So, take a siesta in Hamtramck, choke down a shot of tequila
and put on some Mexican Leather!
The Things- Wild Psychotic Sounds LP
-Yes here it is, an albums worth of the ultimate garage rock horror. Each
one grabbing you and twisting you until you dance. Since the Blowtops
decided to change their sound, Big Neck had to find another creepy, horror
driven, garage rock band. They looked to the ends of the earth and finally
found these demons wasting crowds in Ireland. The Things bring back to
the genre, great sounds, creepy lyrics with catchy riffs galore. Right
up there with Haunted George, these guys are what every Horror Rock fan
is looking for. Another winner for Big Neck
GitoGito Hustler- What’s My... 7”
-Gito Gito Hustler was formed in 1995 by four crazed punk rock girls and
have toured the U.S. and the world a number of times. They’ve recently
come to light with their critically acclaimed full length from Gearhead
Records “Love and Roll”. Gito Gito decided that it was time
to defect from Gearhead and grab a chunk of that good o’Big Neck.
They wrote the 4 best songs ever, and layed down the tracks at Dan Radiobeat’s
house in Pittsburgh. These 4 songs are quoted by many in the industry
as, “The best thing I have ever heard from them.” They packed
so much punch and pop punk into these 4 songs that they pushed the limits
of what a 7” ep can hold and do. Special forms were signed to extend
the play on the 7” to fit all 4 tracks. It was all or nothing to
the girls and here is what you get. 4 pop punk, hurt me till I drop tracks
from 4 vivaciously cute Japanese girls. What more could you want out of
Rock and Roll?
V/A- Pain In The Big Neck CD
-Big Neck Record’s first compilation had to be something special,
something big, and something that nobody could do without. So, we hit
up 20 of the best bands for brand new songs, written just for this compilation
and us. What you have before you is an dynamite laden congregation of
rock n roll, punk rock, garage rock, and techno rock all wrapped up in
the Big Neck package. It doesn’t get any better than this! All new
songs from The Lost Sounds, The Baseball Furies, Sweet J.A.P., The Trailer
Park Tornados, The Catholic Boys, The Tears, The Locomotions, The Mhz,
The Blowtops, The Functional Blackouts, Sagger, Radio Beats, etc. Awesome
cover from Mac Blackout too!!
Terrible Two- A + A 7”
-Out of the damaged punk rock scene in Detroit Michigan land of Red Red
Red, from the ashes of the deceased Piranhas and Clone Defects comes their
bastard child of rock n roll, the Terrible Twos. Practicing non-stop in
X! Records basement with drug addicts, bums, and people of the streets
as their audience the Terrible Twos have perfected their sound of damaged
and never to be fixed punk rock. They are gracing Big Neck Records with
these 3 originals never to be released again before their full length
debut on Criminal IQ records comes out. Come and relive the glory of a
sound all but abandoned by the Piranhas and the Clone Defects. Punk rock
with an edge, punk rock that hurts, punk rock that changes you in ways
you can’t conceive. Awesome record here. RECCOMENDED!!
Hollywood- Girl? 7”
-Their first official proffering finds the HOLLYWOOD threesome in the
midst of their "Reformatory School-era" during this last turn
of the century. Played on donated school equipment and recorded on a proper
ghetto-blaster, stolen from the kitchen cafeteria; these songs demonstrate
how the development of ostensibly straight, white, male youth's gets stilted
by forced exposure to back issues of CELEBRITY SKIN, and BAD MUSIC FOR
BAD PEOPLE. The tapes were only recently discovered last fall in the bathroom
stall of a truck stop off of Interstate 95 - Scaggsville exit. Containing
two muck-ridden grooves, and a true-blue summertime (s)hit about ugly
girls as much as pretty emo boys, is forged in overly caffeinated adolescent
chauvinism (read: virginity + broken glasses). - Dr. Rokenhymn, Chancellor
at Maryland State Reformatory School for Boys A prelude to the HOLLYWOOD
triumvirates' upcoming LP, HITS: AN ALL TIME LOW. HOLLYWOOD BE: Soupbone
- Drums, Vocals Christian Death - Guitar, Vocals Tim A. DeGenerate - Guitar,
Vocals
Red Red Red- Mind Destroyer LP/CD
-First of all this is by and far one of THEE best punk records I've heard
in a long time. Ryan from the Parnhas has totally outdone himself this
time. If you're keeping up with the current wave of garagey modern punk
this record is a must have for the sheer freshness to the genre, and just
for coming up with some sounds/chord progresions that haven't been aped
a million times. I don't say it very often, but this record is ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL!! Here's what TERMINAL BOREDEOM. Had to say about it: "bursting
off the turntable at first with "Disconnected" from the single
(and not including the other track from the 7", so you need that
too), it's a fury of white-hot guitar driven punk that barely stops for
breath in its race to the finish line. Recorded over the course of a year
and a half, you get a few different recording styles, some with a bigger
drum sound than others, but all with amped-out guitar squeal and hoarse
static-laden vox. Take the first Piranhas 7" and imagine if they
worked backwards from there into a more primal punk-rock band. "Crash"
and "Send Help" are middle-of-the record-favorites, but this
thing reaches it's peak with the closing three-song salvo of "Head
On", "Meltdown" and "Mind Destroyer", a trio
of angry and chaotic explosions that are total physical and musical destruction.
Loud, fast and in your face and containing some interesting arrangements,
I wouldn't suggest operating heavy machinery or driving while listening
to this, it's the aural equivalent of a high-speed chase that ends in
a heap of twisted metal and bloody asphalt. Get out the way if you see
this record barrelling down on you."
Rot Shit- The Worst Kids Ever 7"
-On a dark and stormy night, in a haze of alcohol and nondescript drugs
Steve and Dan Radio Beat got together with their friends Jamie and Vinnie
and decided to write the fastest, most retarded punk songs ever. Then
the brilliant decision was made to throw in lyrics that were way over
the top. What did they come up with? 12 songs of brilliance. Yes, I said
it, 12 songs on one 7” EP! Beat that. The songs range from eating
Hotdogs to a song about the Devil Dogs very own Steve Baise. From destroying
bars in their live shows, to whipping and shredding live eels on stage
Rot Shit has already made a name for themselves in the scene. And with
a 7” that has 12 songs in under 6 minutes, each with catchy riffs,
vocals that hook, and volume that may kill, Rot Shit is ready to take
you on and your dog too. Review from 11/12/05 Horriblefest show at Moe's
Bar in Cleveland, OH. "The show got out of hand as soon as it began,
with Pittsburgh blast punks Rot Shit starting their set by whipping a
live eel at the audience. Tables and chairs also got thrown around, and
club owners threatened to stop the show two minutes after it began. Rot
Shit played for about another three minutes, shoving crowd members, knocking
their beers into their teeth, and quickly earning the wrath of most in
attendance."
Fitts- Elastic Pacific 7"
-What do you get when you throw punk rock, garage rock, grunge rock and
a wee bit of noise into a blender? You get Pittsburgh’s The Fitt,
they are a 3 piece Rock Band from Pittsburgh with screaming guitars, howling
vocals, and hell-bent drumming, influenced by Sabbath, riffs, and hooch.
They incorporate all the previous styles into a seamless sound that is
all their own. Their live shows are brawls on stage with each new song
trying to beat each the other down. The Fitt are friends of The Radio
Beats which entails wild crazy shows and some definite crazy ideas about
rock and roll. The music is infatuating, you can’t stop listening
to it until the last note is played or the last drum is kicked. Like an
oncoming train, they don’t stop until the rock is done.
Blowtops- Tribute 2x 7"
-Our favorite horror rock, hellspawn offspring, The Blowtops have turned
10 years old this year. 10 years in a business that most bands break up
before they even record an album. To celebrate this milestone, some of
the Blowtops friends decided to lay down a few licks and record themselves
doing Blowtops covers. From these recordings we at Big Neck Records have
gleaned six of our favorite gems and are offering them to you in a deluxe
double 7” package, with 4 colors of records (Blue, Yellow, Green,
White) and a double sided cover chock full of information (created by
our very own Dave Fatality or Dave New Fang or Dave Blow Up or Dave etc…).
All Six Covers will blow you away with their morbid depravity, and with
the fact that these artist have taken the Blowtops hits of the Macabre
to an all new level. Jay Reatard “Venom Victims Wine” Tractor
Sex Fatality “Judas Order” Vilent Lovers Club “Phone
Call From a Corpse” The Mistreaters “Cannibal Lust”
The Radio Beats “Brasshead Smash” Trailer Park Tornados “Within
These Walls”. All 7”’s with different color wax combinations!
Tunnel Of Love-Rockin Rollin Bitches CD
-Tunnel of Love first released Rockin’ Rollin’ Bitches in
LP form on Mister Records from Massachusetts. Apparently Mister Records
only pressed a couple hundred copies and most of those went to the band
or promos. Big Neck decided that we could not let this injustice be, no,
we wanted people to hear Tunnel of Love’s genius. Their filthy dirty
garage punk sound that creeps into your head and tears around your brain
like that bug from Wrath of Kahn. We could not let this album slip into
obscurity praying that the band would record some more songs, no we are
re-releasing this sucker on CD for the whole world to witness. Come with
us on a journey headed by 3 men in tights who play really filthy, super
lo-fi, trashy garage super-rock. This record was recorded in their basement
on a four track just before the place burned down.

ARMAGEDDON (USA)
BRAINBOMBS- 'Obey' CD
-For those of you who are unfamiliar with Sweden's Brainbombs, think prime
Stooges riffery, recorded in a smelly sweaty basement, amidst scattered
p*orno mags, corpses, weapons and human excrement. While a whining vocalist
spits up seedu deramged lyrics and misanthropic tales of hyper violence.
Then add in the occasional bleap of a demented-jazz trumpet and some fucked
up fuzzy blown-tweeter bass. Sound good? It is.
Well here it is, finally available again,
the CD version of this classic and essential Brainbombs release. 'Obey'
has been out of print for several years & finally has been unleashed
again. Obey hits hard with 8 tracks of serial killer-inspired dirge/noise/rock
put through a No Wave filter. The audio equivalent of watching Henry:
Portrait Of A Serial Killer... or having dinner with Albert Fish while
Whitehouse records spin in the background. For ear pummeling noise addicts,
this ones essential.
TKO RECOREDS (USA)
Channel 3- One More For All My True Friends CD + DVD SET

of the band CHANNEL 3 (CH3). Erik Carreon's film traces the band's beginnings,
from Mike McGrann and Kimm Gardner's childhood friendship through the
years of Cerritos garage practices and backyard parties, and finally headfirst
into the tumultuous days of the 1980's SoCal Hardcore movement. The narrative
is threaded through a centerpiece performance filmed at Alex's Bar in
Long Beach, California: a memorable night which reunited the band with
past members and friends from its storied history. Though it has all the
requisite blood, booze, shit and piss of a proper Punk flick, "One
More For All My True Friends" is ultimately a story of friendship
and its jewel-like value against the grinding onslaught of time!!! The
set includes a full narrative DVD with bonus features and a 20-Track CD
with new studio and live recordings!!

-The year was 1978. The place was Huntington Beach, California. The band
was The Crowd. And nothing would ever be the same again. The Crowd were
in the vanguard of the Orange County beach punk explosion of the late
1970s. They helped create and define a timeless sound which remains influential
even today, over two decades later. One of the first and one of the best
bands of their era, The Crowd are still going strong as the new millennium
begins.TKO is proud to release “Letter Bomb” (originally released

ARTIFIX RECORDS (USA)
Undertakers- Le Muerte 7”
-THEE UNDERTAKERS ,from East Los Angeles, first started practicing during
mid-1977. They decided early on not to go for the "leather or New
Wave look" and would instead wear black suits on stage to emulate
their namesake. By 1978 they found Art, who became their singer. In 1979,
the band hooked up with Willie Heron, from LOS ILLEGALS, who helped the
band get on many bills at the Vex and other East L.A. clubs that would
host punk shows. The band played heavily during 1979 through 1982 and
played at clubs like the Vex, Starwood, Hong Kong Cafe, and the Whiskey
to name a few. The band opened for many bands including D.O.A., ALLEYCATS,
PLUGZ, GEARS, FLEASHEATERS, SUBURBAN LAWNS, and others. Thee Undertakers
recorded their first demo in 1980 and returned to the studio in 1981 to
record what was to be their first LP. The band was going to have their
LP released through Tito Larriva's Fatima Records label (who released
PLUGZ LP and THE BRAT EP), but after a falling out between Tito and the
band, the record never materialized and sat in the can for twenty years.
In 2001, Grand Theft Audio released their awesome collection of studio
recordings from 1980-81. This Artifix Records release features live tracks
recorded at the Hong Kong Cafe in 1980, and some studio demos that made
up their last recordings from 1982.
Controllers- Another Sunny Day CD
-16 tracks of great rockin' punk featuring Johnny Stingray, Kidd Spike,
Karla Maddog, and others! The CONTROLLERS were one of Los Angeles' first
punk bands and they were the first band to discover Brendan Mullen's "The
Masque". They were the first band as well as the last band to play
at the original Masque. This CD is a collection of studio demos and an
amazing live show that showcase what a truly unique, and often unsung,
band the CONTROLLERS were. All of these versions are previously unreleased!
Benedict Arnold And The Traitors- Kill
The Hostages 7”
-Benedict Arnold and the Traitors were a unique early 80's LA punk band
that blended political and social issues into punk as they saw it. They
released the highly offensive "Kill The Hostages" single at
the heighth of the hostage crisis between the U.S. and Iran and caught
a lot of negative press for it. They existed on what they saw as the fringe
of the scenster punk scene and tried their best to annoy and offend everyone.
The band started in 1980 and lasted until 1983 when they changed their
musical direction and became the Antinomians. During their brief run,
they managed to release one 7" single and one 7" EP of quirky
aggro punk.
Kaos- Komplete Kaos CD-
A powerhouse collection of the unreleased tracks from pioneering Los Angeles
punk rockers KAOS, whose only release prior is an EP on the legendary
What? Records label. 'Komplete Kaos' features 17 previously unheard studio

must if yer keeping up on the early LA punk scene.

The Walk - the band's fourth full-length album - we find The Peawees cranking
out more of their meaty blend of rockabilly, punk rock, classic 50's rock-n-roll
and rhythm 'n blues. But this time around there's a new ingredient added
to the mix in the form of a heavy 60's soul sound that has never been
as forwardly present on past albums as it is here. As is the case with
all past albums by The Peawees, the musicianship and singing on Walking
The Walk are top-notch. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!
The Blacks- Shattered (The Complete Singles Collection) LP
-Here it is the complete singles collection from Martin Savage and the
boys. They really made a mark in the garage scene when they were around
because not many bands were doing this type of stripped down bluesey rock
n roll. And we’ll let Martin Savage sum his band up: “There
was something magical about those times. For me the first time I played
in a real band. I remember not being able to wait until the next rehearsal,
it was like being in love! "Let It All Hang Out" was the first
song I ever wrote and it's 10 years ago now. Wow! I was a totallydifferent
person back then. I still think it holds up now and there's always something
desperate and cool about your first band. Here you got the complete recordings,
well, the stuff we want you to hear. Everything that came out on the 7"s
we put out. It was made during two years when we went to the States twice
on tour. We didn't care about Sweden or Europe. We wanted to be from Memphis,
New Orleans, Tokyo, anywhere but here... We were fueled by blues and punk
and wanted to be a mix of the Gories, Oblivians and Guitar Wolf. Listening
to it now, I really think we had our own sound though and the songs were
pretty da*mn good! It certainly has that teenage energy. So get down,
get with it and LET IT ALL HANG OUT! Yours truly, Martin Savage”
LIMITED TO A MERE 300 COPIES!!!!
Momo Lamana- Two Is A Gang LP
-Out of a bunch of nightly and intensive jams at their home base in Belgium,
comes this great little rock n roll record. LaMana (previously fronting
legendary rock n rollers the HOT ROD HONEYS) along with the sweetest french
avantgard artist and musician MOMO formed themselves as a minimal garage
duo aptly titled MOMO LAMANA. Loving primitive, dirty Rock'n'Roll, 60’s
garage rock and 70’s punk, MOMO LAMANA cull their influences from
all the right places. Just with guitar, bass, a toy organ and a small
beatbox, Momo LaMana will take you on their RocknRollercoaster. Imagine
a cocktail party with theCramps, Alan Vega, Berurier Noir and The Mummies.
Great blown fi trash here. HAND NUMBERED OUT OF AN EDITION OF 300 COPIES.
This LP is pretty hard to find now adays!!!
V/A- Goot From The Boot LP

only squats in Italy were the "Virus" in Milan and the "Victor
Charlie" in Pisa, bands like Putrid Fever and Funny Fashion ruled

for this seminal and groundbreaking 1984 compilation of Italian hardcore,
punk and new wave. Originally the first release on the legendary SPITTLE

It took a year and a half to record it, but it's finally done. 10 new
tracks and a great follow up to their stellar debut 'Like A Dog' on Dead
Beat. TAXI is the real deal in the over saturated market of underground
punk rock. Eddie & The Hot Rods, PVC/(early) + Slade influenced pure
vintage punk with a strong touch of dirty 70’s glam. If you liked
their debut or any of any of their singles, this is a must have! LP out

Blacks, The – LP "Shattered: The Complete Singles Collection"
HAVOC RECORDS (USA)
Damage Deposit- Do Damage 7”
-Midwest DIY hardcore, with members of Code 13, Any Last Words, Sweet
Jap, Encroach, and Miles Ahead. Critical thrash with sick breakdowns that
comes across sounding like DYS mixed with contemporary bands like Tear
It Up and Shark Attack. Lyrically this record takes on issues in the contemporary
scene, political corruption and the destruction of the environment.
Damage Deposit- Straight To The Bottom
7"
-Damage Deposit’s second 7". Hard charging Infest influenced
thrash core with punishing break downs and positive/political lyrics.
Slick layout and sick production.
H100s- Texas Death Match 7”
-Cleveland Ohio's h-100's blast out crucial early 80's style raw thrash.
The singer was a teenage kid with a really snotty voice. The rest of the
band were thirty-year-old record collector dudes who were there when hardcore
ruled and didn't forget. Although the h-100's claim 80's Japanese thrash
as their main influence this record reminds me more of early Die Kreuzen,
Poison Idea, Toxic Reasons or many other Midwestern thrash bands of the
80's!
Mob 47 – S/T 7”
-Here it is, a re-issue of Mob 47’s 1984 7" that was sometimes
called "Karnvapen Attack". Everyone will remember these guys
from the "PEACE" comp LP and "Cleanse the Bacteria"
comp LP. They play 100% raw fast core thrash. Some of the very best, top
5 Swedish hardcorde here.
Kaaos- Nukke 7"
-Finland had one of the best hardcore scene's in the world in 80's. Taking
their inspiration from UK bands like Discharge, Disorder and Chaos UK
the Finnish band produced a pretty unique and aggressive style of hardcore.
Kaaos was one of the best bands from this period. They released a split
7" with the Cadgers, an LP, a 7" and a split LP with Terveet
Kadet. Hailing from Tampere (Finland's second largest city) Kaaos included
members of Riistetyt, the Bastards, Varaus, Protesti, Kuolleet Kukat,
and Kohu-63. Singer Jakke is still going strong in Positive Negative.
This 7" was recorded in 1985 and originally released by Fight Records
of Tampere, Finland in the early 90's. Havoc has licensed it for international
release as part of an ongoing collaboration with Fight Records to re-release
unheard classic Finnish hardcore.
FIGHT RECORDS (Finland)
Kaaos- Ristiinnaulittu Kaaos LP
-This killer LP was originally released by Barrabas Records in Finland
in 1984. Fight and Havoc continuing our long standing partnership to re
issue classics of Finnish hardcore teamed up to re press this classic.
Kaaos were one of the foremost Finnish hardcore bands of the 80s along
with Rattus, Terveet Kadet, Appendix, Bastards and Riistetyt. Kaaos has
the trademark Finnish 80s sound, fast buzzsaw thrash riffs, reverby vocals,
all over the placedrumming, and plodding bass. This re press has reproduced
the original Crass style poster sleeve and contains three bonus tracks
not on the original. Fight and Havoc also teamed up to re issue the Kaaos
NukkeEP which is still available from Havoc. Also worth checking out is
the Kaaos Totaalinen Kaaos LP/CD on Hohnie records which features their
classic early 7" and compilation material. Kaaos continued into the
90s and 21st century and has several new releases on Fight Records as
well as CDs versions licensed to Brazil.
PUKE N VOMIT RECORDS (USA)
Shocks-Endsiieg 7"
-The SHOCKS are from Germany and play ultra-catchy and melodic punk rock
with a rock n roll edge. This falls somewhere between classic german punk
ala the PACK and PVC mixed with more traditional first wave UK punk like
THE DAMNED and a more polished SEX PISTOLS. Includes a cover of 'Just
Another Unit' by LOS REACTORS! Great long standing German punk band here.
Violent Society- The Complete Punk Collection
CD
-This is a round up of all the Violent Society non album recordings from
1995-1999. Features all the songs from their singles, compilation tracks
and a few unreleased songs as well. CD includes full linear notes and
write ups from band members along with some cool rare photos. A true punk
collection every Violent Society fan has been waiting for packed together
in one cool looking package.
Mudlarks- S/T LP
-Here it is, the debut full length from the Mudlarks. Two gals/two guys
from northern Italy who love the punk rock. Evolving from their X-Ray
Spex/Dead boys fueled retro punk rock of their 2003 highly appreciated
7” on Puke’n’Vomit, The Mudlarks have impressively transformed
themselves into a retro first wave punk band thanks to some catchy licks
and the addition of a new sax player. A must for any fan of female fronted
late 70s California punk à la UXA, Avengers or the Nuns. Don't
let the somewhat mundane lookin cover pic fool ya. This ones a keeper!!
LP LIMITED TO 400 HAND NUMBERED COPIES. GET EM WHILE YA CAN!!
Prima Donna- Eat Your Heart Out HEART SHAPED
RED VINYL 10"
-Punk poppin' down the avenue to a cock-rockin' beat, the Hollywood quartet
Prima Donna epitomizes a modern take on the streetwise glam pioneered
by the New York Dolls. Eat Your Heart Out is aggressive and dirty, but
still fond of melody and unable to pass a mirror without checking for
stray blemishes. Leader Kevin Preston knows his hunky hard rock hooks
and sassy singing, and the rest of the band is right next to him on the
runway. "Eat Your Heart Out" and "Doll Face Baby”
will inspire as much posing as air guitar and chorus singalongs. File
this one next to the Beat Angels, the Black Halos and later Makers, and
pull it out at your next party. LAVISHLY CRAFTED HEART SHAPED RECORD HERE,
AND HAND NUMBERED OUT OF 500 COPIES!! LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE!!
Stench-7" "Moral Debauchery""
-After the demise of the rather good first wave band the Neon Hearts,
nearby Wolverhampton, traditionally a haven for rockers and metalheads,
found itself strangely devoid of recording punk bands, until a bunch of
young outcasts kick-started the scene back into life. Although musically
poor, The Stench were outrageous and obnoxious enough to light up the
city's underground for a brief time, more on the strength of their anti-social
antics than any sort of creative ability. Well this is a re issues of
the bands first single that came out on Sticky Records. All three songs
, 'Raspberry Cripple', 'Nonces' and 'Adoption', are bawled out by singer
Pete O'Shea to a blurred backing of guitar, bass and drums played at 90
miles an hour. Another long lost blast from the pasted finally resurected!!
RECCOMENDED!!!
V/A- Sudden Death CD
-Here it is the reissue of two classics on one CD. First up you get the
1982 'Sudden Death' compilation originally released on Smoke 7 Records.
This comp. includes 2-3 unreleased tracks each from JFA (back when they
were called Jodie Fosters Army!), SIN 34, DEMENTED, MORAL DECAY, CRANKSHAFT,
SADIST FACTION, THE SINS, REDD KROSS, YOUTH GONE MAD, NAUGHTY WOMEN, and
DEAD YOUTH. 'Sudden Death' is a HC classic for documenting the flourishing
up and coming So. Cal. HC/punk scene in the early 80's. Following that
are the ten tracks from GENOCIDE, which originally appeared on the Last
Rites split with M.I.A. So all in all ya get thirty-nine tracks of ultra
rare US hardcore!!
RF7- Addiction Of Heartache CD
-God it’s nice to hear somebody playing hardcore properly: with
aggression, passion, balls, and brilliance. The songs here capture an
urgency without lacking resorting to tuneless screaming. The vocals come
from the gut, the lyrics are far from the usual generic junk, and the
pace is fast despite these So Cal punks apparently going at it since 1979.
RF7 has soldiered on for well over two decades and not because of any
delusions of that big contract being right around the corner,but because
it is in their blood to play. Putting up the instrumental muscle on this
release, RF7's eighth full length, is a group of veteran hardcore musicians
who lived through the first wave, and show us all how it’s done.
BURRITO RECORDS (USA)
F- 7" "Four From 84
-F, the band, the legend... These South Florida anti-heros began in 1981
and are still playing their patented slice-n-dice punk rock to this day.
The four songs on this record were hand picked from a 1984 studio session,
originally released as a cassette called, "The Danger is Here!"
Few copies of the tape were made and still fewer made it out of South
Florida. This is their first time on vinyl. Many myths, rumors and misinformation
have circulated about F since their wild beginnings. The extensive interview
and liner notes enclosed tell the complete band history, pulling no punches
and leaving no stone unturned. Fans of Pagans, Dead Boys, Dogs, Pure Hell
and Stooges need to hear this. Colored vinyl for you collectors to drool
over, too.
Death Sentence- Until The End Of The Sentence (1985-89) CD
-Death Sentence terrorized the Australian hardcore scene from the mid
1980s to the early 1990s. In their time, they were the fastest band in
the southern hemisphere and one of the fastest in the world. They have
been compared often to SIEGE and D.R.I. A hard-working band, Death Sentence
made numerous recordings. Everything the band ever released -- and more
-- is on "Until The End Of The Sentence," a 50 minute, 35 song
history lesson. The 24-page CD booklet is filled with live photos, lyrics,
show flyers, a 1985 zine interview and other memoribilia. The music has
been restored professionally so it is louder and stronger than ever. A
must for all thrashers, hardcores and punks! Fans of Septic Death, Larm,
Heresy, Siege, Ripcord and early D.R.I. should hear these guys.
-Belching Penguin - Demos 1985-1988 7"
-Final EP From Florida's BELCHING PENGUINS. This 7” features songs
from their 1985 and 1988 demos-Classic 80's hardcore with extensive liner
notes and info. the 85 demos features some of the great tracks that later
were re-recorded on their classic "Draft Beer Not Me" Lp.
POLLY MAGOO RECORDS (France)
Lili Z.- The Two Of Us CD
-Long-player from the lovely Lili Zeller, home-recordings all done on
8-track during the fall of 2007. If you're only familair with Lili's work
as a member of Volt, this disc bears a little resemblance to their dark
synth-heavy sound and is obviously close in spirit to her previous solo
recordings as well. Guitar, drum machine, and synthesizers all wielded
with skill, tracks ranging from guitar-led punk rockers("Nix!Nix
Nix!"/"Candeggina Burns"), synth-punk shockers ("Why"),
moody and dark slow burns ("So This Is Love"), love songs, hate
songs, weird punk experiments ("Dark Toilet")...a varied attack
with interesting and different instrumentation on each cut, she must have
quite an array of effects pedals in the living room. I've been following
Lili since the Splash Four days and she's progressed quite a bit in her
solo records making this her most well-honed effort to date. The fantastic
booklet has a page for each song, which you can basically follow along
to the music and get more of the story behind each song (lyrics, pictures,
collages, cartoons) in a nice multi-media twist.
Brainbombs- Collection #2 CD
-Oh lord, are we ever in filthy, crusty, demented, depraved, misanthropic,
sludge rock heaven! That's right, FINALLY, it's the second collection
of 7"s from Sweden's mightiest musical export THE BRAINBOMBS! Everything
we love about these musical miscreants is in full affect, the pummeling
trash can percussion, the downtuned fuzz drenched ultra distorted guitars,
the bizarre, sort of fey, sort of scary vocals, regaling tales of murder
and mayhem, r*pe and torture, death and destruction, the warbly dented
drunken trumpet, all wrapped up into a stumbling, hypnotic, and seriously
fucking disturbed package.
This great collection includes the single
that came out on Andee's tUMULt label, the most recent Stinking Memory
7" on Anthem, as well as the Wabana Gun Court single, the Ken Rock
single as well as the Big Brothel single. Easily some of our favorite
BB tracks ever, "Stigma Of The Ripper", "The Grinder",
"I Need Speed"... fuck! If only more bands could do so much
with so little. Stripped down and blown out, catchy as all get out but
still grimy and brutal and very very very medded up. Also included are
some rare live tracks, all time Brainbombs classics, "Urge To Kill"
among them, recorded live in Norway way back in 1993. They sound appropriately
distorted and low fidelity, and don't miss the hidden last track, a minute
long, post performance Brainbombs sign off, with some demented crowd action,
chanting for more. RECCOMENDED!!
TIC TAC TOTALLY (USA)
Mouserocket- Pretty Loud LP+CD COMBO
--The new release is a smooth, poppy album that bursts with a smart blend
of sunny energy and moody edginess. The album’s 11 top-notch cuts...run
the gamut from raw and jangly to crisp and electronic. Standouts include
the epic "On the Way Downtown," the dreamy "Aphrodite"
and the slow-building "Never Stand a Chance." There’s
also a great countrified version of "I’m Set on You,"
which originally appeared on Mouserocket’s debut Empty Records LP
in 2004. With its gentle mix of ethereal and gritty, this record is the
perfect soundtrack for summer 2008.
Yokohama Hooks- Turn On 7”
-Debut 7-inch (not counting their split 7" with the Flip-Tops) from
Spokane, WA's Yokohama Hooks. The Hooks stick you with their angular and
medium paced punk rock stabbings, conjuring delusions of a bit poppier
Lost Sounds. At least in terms of plain old pure driven intent. The two
originals on this record stand firm in the grooves. These are the kind
of punk rock songs that just exude a royal "fuck off" to any
weathering the hands of time may throw at it. The cover of Bloodstains
on the flip is also a nice reference, putting this 7-inch right at the
scene of the crime. Haven’t heard a good retro sounding new wavey
band in a while, and Yokohama Hooks definately give you a run for your
money here. Pretty great single.
Snake Flower 2- Talk About It 7”
-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 n roll. The vocal
tones sit amazingly over the mix and add to the pretty complex rockin
of the rest of the band. Great trashy rockin debut and LIMITED TO 500
COPIES!!!
Hipshakes/Cococoma- Split 7”
-Split single action released for the Cococoma/Hipshakes US tour. The
Cococoma original, "Never Be True", is a winner, fun and gutsy-and-catchy
garage rock...I'm a bit critical of Cococoma releases, they're very hit
or miss for me, and this is a hit. For some reason I think of them as
perhaps one of the best true garage bands around right now (when they're
"on" that is). And I'm a sucker for "whoah-whoah"-type
choruses, and they got me with this one. The Hipshakes side: well, I'll
be damned if these kids don't come through on this one! "Hurt My
Pride" is stellar young limey snot, playful and reminding me of a
Johnny Moped cut a bit. And they cover one of my favorite Cococoma songs
("All I Give") by simply eating it up and shitting it out in
speedy and haphazard fashion. Real wild. This one's a keeper all the way.

BLACK SUNDAY/LE JONATHAN REILEY- 'Split'
LP
-Black Sunday (Alicja Trout's bedroom, solo, mad-science project) births
a new and increasingly experimental collection of recordings, all risen
from the loose soil of her Tronic Graveyard in Memphis, TN. This record
pushes Alicja Trout's sound forward, straight from the brain with total
control, while weaving all the boundary pushing tendencies through a format
that also somehow embraces her trademark synth-heavy (ballsy) atmospheres,
in harmony with those punk rock and garage rock meanderings. Her side
of the split his is a series of metallic and beautifully "quasi-schizo"
writing ideas all wrought in layers of heavy and decayed iron instrumentation,
then glued together in mid-air by Alicja's particular brand of brutal
and beautiful vocal magic. A must have for any fans of Black Sunday, Lost
Sounds, Digital Leather or the Blank Dogs.
Le Jonathan Reilly provides us with a healthy
new helping of their somewhat psychedelic post-punk / art rock noodling.
This band actually hits that space between your ear-waves and brain-waves
like Thomas Function does. On the whole think melodic new wave punk, incorporating
semi-sweet guitar jangling and passive-aggressive delivery that leaves
room for some psyched out and new wave sounds, but still knows when to
blast off into harder territories. A nice compliment to the Black Sunday
side.
DIGITAL LEATHER- Hard At Work LP
-The new Digital Leather full-length, "Hard At Work", pushes
their synthesized, raw-pop further into the cold, detached aesthetics
of the early synth-punk era. Equally at home compared to retro-synth-punk
(a-la-The Screamers, Human League, Wire) and experimental club blasts,
the record draws on common elements of brutality in these diverse musical
examples, and delivers unusual melodic twists on this concept at full
force without sparing your heart or your eardrums a second of peace. LIMITED
TO 500 COPIES AND THIS COPY IS ON THE RARE DARK BLUEISH GRAY SPLAT WAX!!
. Get it while ya can!!
Black Sunday- Cut Out 7”
- This 4 song single is really a mini-album of sorts. It's got a home-recording-ish
feel but high strung with very strong songs. Big beats by Ryan Wong from
Tokyo Electron, Destruction Unit etc. back Alicja's experimental rock
here. A little like the Lost Sounds stuff, but less polished. VERY LIMITED
COPIES AVAILABLE ON WHITE WAX. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!

The Pharmacy- Abominalble 7”
-THESE JUST GOT HERE! Abominable b/w Plastic Bugs. Sort of Beatle-esque
melodic indie/garage rock. Two great tracks. Edition of 500 on white vinyl.
Shows a lot of progression since their first LP, and complements the Overcast
Summer 7" very well. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE ON COKE=A=EEEN COLORED

MAD AT THE WORLD RECORDS (Canada)
THE MISGUIDED- Fuggets 1981 - 1984 CD
-One of the original "NY Thrash" bands, the Misguided, along
with HEARTATTACK, THE FALSE PROPHETS, and THE MOB, were amongst the first
generation of NY hardcore. This retrospective of studio, demo, and live
material bears witness to that exciting, restless, and sometimes awkward
time after the punk explosion in NY when kids forged their own sound with
only the "loud, fast rules!" ethic as their blueprint. Refreshingly
absent is the metal crunch that characterized later generations of NYHC.
Influenced by the Dead Boys and the Jam, the Misguided took some cues
from the DC bands of the time, stripped that sound down to its elements
and injected it with a momentum and vigor almost bursting at the seams.
Many people the world over front on that NYHC '81 sound; listen here for
yourself. Includes members that later formed influential SST Records'
proto-grunge act DAS DAMEN.
The ARSONS- Too Good To Be True CD
-"Too True to Be Good" marks Ernie Parada's highly anticipated
return to playing guitars and contributing heavily to vocal duties for
the Arsons, as well as the Arsons second full length for Mad at the World.
Hardcore enthusiasts will note that the Arsons' last album, "Bridges
Down," was the first recorded material featuring Ernie since his
days in TOKEN ENTRY. The Arsons continue to pack a melodic hardcore punch
in a similar style to the one Ernie and co-conspirator Jason made popular
with their last band GREY AREA. The band's signature guitar hooks and
vocal melodies collide with an uncontainable energy and vigor that belies
their collective experience. "Too True to be Good" serves as
a refreshing reminder that melodic punk doesn't need an "emo"
tag.
OUT COLD- Goodbye Cruel World LP/CD
-As long terms fans of Out Cold, Mad at the World is happy to release
Out Cold’s sixth full length studio album. Since the late 1980’s,
Out Cold has ploughed their way through white knuckled hardcore with bulldozing
precision. Out Cold’s abysmally bad attitude propels them through
this album of frantically desperate, warp-speed punk, just the kind of
hardcore punk legions of Out Cold enthusiasts have come to expect.
DERIDE- S/T LP
-The vinyl version of this thrash whirlwind masterpiece from Japanese
ultra-destroyers DERIDE. Thrashy Japanese hardcore with a lightfooted
speed and rousing grit rarely found among their stateside brethren. A
mega-blast of absolutely fast, manic, and punishing hardcore action. Fans
of whirlwind Japanese rock like OAC, GISM, Assfort must hear. Fierce.
9 SHOCKS TERROR - CD EP with bonus DVD
-A limited CD/ DVD package containing 9 Shocks Terror's songs from the
split LP with Out Cold (which was subsequently scrapped and released on
7" format), and a complete DVD (worldwide territory) of live appearances
by the band in Cleveland, Boston, LA, and more by one of the spearheads
of the current thrashy hardcore punk scene. Blisteringly volatile hardcore
thrash with the band's hallmark Japanese hardcore influences and heavy
Motorhead- style bombast.
THE ARSONS - Bridges Down CD
-The second album from this New York hardcore band comprised of ex-members
of GREY AREA, IN YOUR FACE, TOKEN ENTRY, WARZONE, BLACK TRAIN JACK, and
others. An uncompromising album of powerful HC punk that operates on passion
as much as on amps and electricity, as the band ceases trying to capture
a sound, and simply becomes one.
TRENCHCOAT ARMY- S/T 7"
-The debut 7" by New York City's Trenchcoat Army serves you a dose
of raw hardcore punk in the "loud fast rules!" tradition. The
Line up features Wendy and Don, editors of the seminal New York magazine
Guillotine (with roots as far back as 1982), and Jesse (formerly in NO
CONTEST, went on to SOMETHING IN THE WATER) providing the vocals. It goes
for that early 80's sound and actually has members that were around then.
Jesse left the band shortly after this recording, which led, in part,
to this release being limited to 500 copies. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE!!
PANOPTICON - Terminal Hierarchy of Waste
7"
-The sole release by the band that preceded THE BAD FORM, featuring Jared
and Dan on guitar and drums respectively, and the enigmatic Johnny B on
vocals. The sessions that produced this disk are the results of a pre-occupation
with violence, surrealism, and jarring music that lay bare a deep affinity
for thrashy punk.
NO CONTEST- Where Do We Go From Here? 7"
-The leftover copies (300 in total) of this record taken from its initial
Slaughterhouse Records release. Pressed in a limited quantity, and receiving
unfortunate distribution before Slaughterhouse folded, a number of these
never made it in to covers. New, slightly different covers were made for
this release; 7 songs of negative hardcore from a band whose fond moniker
was the (aptly titled) New Jersey Asshole Brigade. Singer Jesse went on
to front SOMETHING IN THE WATER. This 7” is currently OUT OF PRINT!
LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE!!
HUNGARY EYE RECORDS (Canada)
Phantom Limbs- Random Hymns LP
-The Phantom Limbs successfully mined the early San Francisco “no
wave” scene and turn of the decade punk to conjure up their own
unsettling racket. Having already secured their place in Bay Area music
lore through their frenetic live shows and deranged antics, the Phantom
Limbs have gained converts throughout the world with their previous two
full lengths and their numerous tours. This LP, their last before an undetermined
hiatus might very well be their curtain call. Crazed carnival punk—imagine
T.S.O.L meets the SCREAMERS… with Darby Crash snarling the vocals.
LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!
The Holy Kiss- s/t CD
-Eerie Tenderloin-blues with a drunken swagger, lazy rhythms and drawling
vocals by this veteran band & Bay Area favorites. They evoke an uncanny
and confused imagery, like a soundtrack to a David Lynch movie, and make
for appropriate companions to bands like the Birtday Party and Tom Waits.
On this album the Holy Kiss makes a dark and sweetly discordant murder-ballad-inspired
racket that's perfect for conjuring the limbo-treading spirits of the
cheats, crazies, drunks and other societal castaways the band likes to
sing about in its shadowy, Dickensian ditties. This release captures their
rare, out of print, and hard-to-find early recordings, most available
on CD for the first time.
Sixteens- Into the Gold Wave... CD
-Since their last record, Sixteens spent two years globe trotting with
residencies in Barcelona, Berlin, and Oakland. As of two American tours
(one opening for Blixa Bargeld and Savage Republic), and two more European
tours across the continent, they've slimmed down to a two-piece and locked
thesmelves in the studio to finish this long awaited follow up. With wailing
synthesizers, throbbing beats, and dramatic vocals, they've managed to
throw some color into the bleak cold-wave sound, like a riotous mixture
of the Mute, Trax, and ZICKZACK Records catalogs.
The Witnesses- We’re Taking Over
LP
-Raunchy, bluesy mod-rock from this NY outfit that features alunmi from
the MOONEY SUZUKI and the RONDELLES. Total full-on, unabashed, un-ironic
FACES-style rock from one of New York City’s best live bands. This
LP was their debut vinyl outting, and got them signed subsequently to
record two LPs. It won’t be re-pressed, so once they’re gone,
they’re gone.
Bellmer Dolls- the Big Cats Will Throw Themselves Over LP
-They take their name from the dolls of Hans Bellmer, the German artist
whose highly charged work characterized Europe's interwar period and foreshadowed
the impending cataclysm of World War II. There is definitely something
of the reckless abandon of the cabaret in New York City's Bellmer Dolls,
as well as the cruel probing of the surrealist, making the Weimar-era
artist an appropriate point of reference for them. This is the Bellmer
Dolls debut release and is LIMITEd TO 600 COPIES!! Brooding, explosive
New York post-punk from these ex-members of LOVELIFE, the VANITY SET,
and Universal Order of Armageddon. Produced by Jim Sclavunos (GRINDERMAN/
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the Cramps, Sonic Youth).
Sixteens- Fendi LP
-Pulsing minimal beats and sputtering analog synths. Though they’ve
got enough early-TUXEDOMOON bleakness in there, and have been described
as an alternate soundtrack to Liquid Sky. Long time Bay Area band, and
companions to the likes of the Phantom Limbs, the Vanishing and the Holy
Kiss.
NO FRONT TEETH (UK)
Disco Lepers/Kermits Finger- Split 7”

This is a real punk rock record here. Raw to the bone. Stay the fuck away
if you're half a faggot. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!
Final Solution - 'Warsaw Uprise' 7"
-Final Solution is a social and politically charged hardcore punk band
from Southern California featuring members of Shattered Faith (Posh Boy
/ Finger Records) and The Main (Hostage Records). This 7" will rip
yer throat right open... 2 killer cuts spitting energy and sincerity from
from some first wavers that still got punk in their blood. LIMITED TO
300 COPIES!!!

V/A- Dancehall Troops vol. 3 CD
-The latest installment of the attack known as Dancehall Troops!! This
time featuring 33 tracks from the likes of The Shanghai Wires, The Cute
Lepers, Tranzmitors, Last Of The Bad Men, Fishnet Stalkers, The Main,
The Snazzy Boys, The Powerchords, the Nasties, Soho Roses, Sick Fits,
Soda Pop Kids and loads more... featuring 11 previously unreleased cuts
and 7 previously only available on vinyl. Another winner from No Front
Teeth.
Cute Lepers- So Screwed Up 7”
-Well Briefs fans, here it is...the 2nd and way hard to find single from
Steve E Nix's new band the Cute Lepers. It came out on a small label from
Europe and went in out and of print in a few days. This is a copy on the
way rare 2nd pressing and you should notice a big difference in the sleeve
design. The cover on this pressing shows STEVE E NIX looking off to the
right, as opposed to directely into the camera. Also the background on
the single is a yellowish off white , instead all white on the first pressing.
And probably the biggest difference is the logo is scrawled all the way
down the left hand side in a completely different font. The first pressing
had the band name written much smaller on and angle in the upper left
hand corder. This copy is also on the LIMITED EDITION ORANGE WAX!! The
7" also includes a pull out insert that includes a few pics of the
CUTE LEPERS!! If you liked the first single, this ones a must have!!
Broken Bottles- Harbor Town Homes 7”
-Ok OC Beach punk fans, this ones for you. This one alot harder to find
as it came out a this pretty obscure label out of the UK. Two brand new
cuts and BROKEN BOTTLES are sticking to the sound they’re known
for... a time warp straight back to the Posh Boy-era of Southern California
Punk Rock. You’ll be checking your calendar to make sure you’re
not back in 1982!! Broken Bottles recall the more intense, moody days
of punk rock where bands like TSOL, early Social Distortion and Shattered
Faith once reigned So. Cal. Another winner here from the Bottles!!
V/A- Dancehall Troops vol. 2 CD+ DVD SET
Here it is!!! The No Front Teeth and Dogpile
DVD!! This is the latest in the ‘Dancehall Troops’ series
and follow’s last year’sDancehall Troops comp. This package

GENDERLESS RECORDS (USA)
Suttree- In Ill Repeair 7”
-Here it is, the 2nd 7" from this Asheville, NC seven-piece ensemble
who play what they aptly call 'Hillbilly Shoegaze'. The Cormac McCarthy
reference works, as they play deep and reflective psychedelic-folk tunes,
with banjo, tambourine and slide guitar working to give them a definite
backwoods Appalachia vibe. Two songs on this, with excellent male/female
vocal interplay and a haunted and creepily rural vibe. Features ex members
of The Labiators, who released a great 2x7" a while back, and some
of them have played with Don Howland in Burning Bush. And if you're still
looking for credentials, this was mixed and produced by Asheville transplant
Greg Cartwright of the Oblivians and Reigning Sound. Greg also plays Tambourine
on the first A Side and twangy slide guitar on the B Side. Great music
for Sunday evenings in the summer around dusk with a mason jar full of
liquor at your side. These were LIMITED TO 500 COPIES. 400 on BLACK VINYL
and 100 on GREEN VINYL. The copy you are bidding on is on BLACK WAX!!
Suttree- Dark Hollow 7"
-Here's some sun-faded, leathery, fairly sinister country from some folks
from North Carolina who used to play with a fantastic loud rock trio called
the Labiators. It's a large lineup here, with slide guitar, organ, and
banjo filling out standard instrumentation. Greg Cartwright's production
on the "7-track" (two four-tracks plugged into one another?)
unfortunately loses some of the arrangements due to a crowded mix. But
Suttree really has a very unique and soulful sound, so luckily you’re
drawn in by the very creative and carismatic songs. They have a sound
that's both lost and authentic to the times that spawned them, with "Dark
Hollow" looking down the barrel of a mean country swagger and "Agave
Blues" dragging along in sorrow, but punctuated by a beautiful framing,
shot through by Paisley Underground leanings and a haunting, female-sung
chorus. Great debut that the Oblivs or Reigning Sound fan will certainly
enjoy. Edition of 450 in screened, letterpressed sleeves.
TWISTED CHORDS (Germay)
MDC- "Millions Of Dead Cops"
Picture-LP
-The first MDC LP from 1981, is responsible for the cult around the band
and the best hardcore songs ever written... 'Born to die', 'John Wayne
was a nazi', 'Kill the light' and many more). For the first time in years
this is available again in a sharp looking PICTURE DISC LP that also includes
a pull out insert with the lyrics to all 14 tracks. ESSENTIAL!!
MDC- "Hey Cop! If I Had A Face Like Yours..." LP
-Right behind the fist LP this is one of the best and most essential MDC
records. It contains 15 songs produced in the typical unique MDC-style:
something between punkrock and early hardcore from the 80s. Nice looking
packaging on this one too, with a pull out printed two sided dust sleeve
including the lyrics for every song.
V/A- "Action speaks louder than words" LP
-17 band compilation here featuring a lot of previously unavailable material
inclduing songs from Wasted, Oi Polloi, MDC, Ratos De Porao, TV Smith,
klasse Kriminale, Sin Dios, Fleas And Lice and many more. LP includes
a poster and a pull out 18 page booklet including and insert from each
band.
EAT RECORDS (USA)
Artificial Limbs- Out of Order 7"
-Debut vinyl release from this Tri-Cities trio (who I believe may now
be defunct), containing the deviant mind behind Leper Print and someone
who was apparently in The Girls at some point. Four tracks that pick-up
the pieces of destroyed keyboards and drum kits and fuse them into some
crackling synth-punk, recorded with lots of hatred and little audio fidelity
(i.e. a winning combination). If you enjoyed Leper Print, this follows
much of the same tack: "garbage can drums" (as stated in the
credits), double-synth attack, manic vocals, anti-social subject matter...noisy,
static-ridden, agressive. "Subserviant" is the meanest of the
four tracks, full of piss and hiss, the soundtrack to the apocalypse going
down in the basement where these guys practice. They wind their four tracks
up with "Time & Age", kicking the synth to the curb and
letting a guitar poke its neck in the shitstorm for a dose of lightspeed
punk with a sharp and dark edge. Bleedingly raw stuff here, perfect for
someone who is looking for, say...something by Destruction Unit, but even
more angry and ugly. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!
Haunted House- S/T 7”
-Haunted House is here to prove that synth music doesn't have to be stale
and unoriginal. Having a pop oriented back bone Haunted House mixes things
up in a Factums, Blank Dogs, Destruction Unit sorta way. The trebble heavy
keys give their music a very dark feel, but the vocals counterbalance
the darkness. What proves more than anything about the strong abilities
of Haunted House is that they’re able to inject thriving new life
into something as regurgitated as synth rock. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED
COPIES!!
MY FAT ASS PRODUCTIONS (USA)
V/A- Funhouse Comp. Thing CD
-Well-above average comp of mainly garage-type bands, along with a few
traditional punk stylists and centered around a Seattle club called the
Funhouse. No wimpy shit. I’d heard of a handful of these bands before—the
Pulses, Earaches, Gas Huffer (how long have they been around now?), Fall-Outs,
The Sermon, Girl Trouble and I’ve heard the Blank-Its rockin’
album since getting this disc. If you like primal sounds, this is the
ticket and there’s a variety here, from the rawness of the Primate
5, Ape City R&B to the(e) Headcoats-inspired Armitage Shanks to the
nervier, almost new-wavish Cripples. I can’t possibly review all
32 songs but, listening through, there were only one or two songs I felt
the urge to skip past. That’s the sign of a winner. Compiled from
unreleased songs, alternate takes and vinyl-only releases.
V/A- Funhouse Comp. Thing #2 2 X CD
-Like the first one, this is a compilation of un-released tracks by bands
who have played the Funhouse, the little Seattle night club that could.
This time around they tricked some of the bands who ducked out of volume
1 into being on this one. Most of these bands are from Seattle. There's
also bands from other Pacific NW areas like the Tri-Cities, Vancouver
BC, Tacoma, one band from California, and 8 acts from Oregon - including
a track recorded live at a Funhouse show by The Pierced Arrows, Fred &
Toody Coles post Dead Moon Band. The Strap Straps were recorded live on
my radio show Sonic Reducer (listen Saturday nights in Seattle on 90.3fm
or online anytime at kexp.org). For international flair we've included
Australia's Digger & the Pussycats, who played an amazing set when
they toured though Seattle in 2007. All these bands are excellent &
have some interesting stories to tell, so please look them up on the interweb
& see what ya been missing. The track list really speaks for it’s
self. Pretty solid line up of pacific NW garage punk and beyond.

Juanita Y Los Feos- S/T LP
-So here it is, in all it's tattered, treble heavy, mid fi glory ready
for the world to enjoy. The ‘S/T' debut full length from JUANITA
Y LOS FEOS packs 12 new and unreleased songs from Madrids newest bunch
of rock n roll derelicts. Sung word for word in their native tongue, I
think this album will resonate with any fan of blues drenched garage rock
or keys laced punk rock. Total scorcher from start to finish here. LIMITED

JUST IN
ACME
RECORDS (USA)
ZOOPARTY- YOU ARE HERE CD
-Yet another band from Sweden. When will this little country run dry?
Here we have a solid album of bold, soaring punk rock with a decidedly
melodic bent. Zooparty is a new band, but it's members are veterans of
the Swedish underground punk scene going back to the early '80s. They
were fortunate enough to recruit both Brian James (The Damned) and Glen
Matlock (Sex Pistols) to participate on this, their first album, on both
guitar and production duties (the first time they've worked together since
Iggy Pop's New Values tour in 1979, and the first time they've worked
on a studio project together). Not surprisingly, Zooparty have a markedly
Damned/Pistols/Professionals sound with big, anthemic melodies and catchy,
infectious songs. Overall, a bit poppier than what you've come to expect
from Acme, but after a couple of listens I was hooked. I'm sure you will
be too.
OUT COLD- GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD CD
-Hardcore punk rock the way it was played circa 1981/1982 before heavy
metal (and later rap) somehow worked it’s way into things and confused
everybody. 14 angry, nihilistic, scathing sonic assaults that are over
in under 21 minutes.
BAD CHOPPER- S/T CD
-It took forever to finish, but alas, here it is: the debut full-length
of Bad Chopper is finally out and well worth the wait. For those of you
who don't know, Bad Chopper is the new band of ex-Ramone CJ Ward. This
outfit has been called the best ex-Ramone effort out of them all, and
I would have to agree. CJ brings his signature songwriting and sense of
melody to these 12 tracks of simple yet effective rockin' punk tunes.
Not attempting to resurrect the Ramones, but rather just channelling his
innate gift for writing great catchy, from-the-hip punk rock. One listen
to this and you'll understand how he made the cut in that most important
punk rock institution that was the Ramones. This recording is given loving
production care by longtime Ramones collaborator/producer Daniel Rey and
features lead work by the great Walter Lure of the Heartbreakers/Waldos.
BILL BONDSMEN- S/T 7"
-The sophmore EP by one of the most promising midwestern hardcore bands
around today. Anyone who's heard their debut "The Swinging Sounds
Of The Bill Bondsmen" knows what I'm talking about. Real meat &
potatoes Motor City hardcore along the musical lines of Poison Idea &
9 Shocks Terror. This platter contains five new originals and one cover,
recorded by none other than Mister Jim Diamond at Ghetto Recorders in
Detroit. Don't sleep on this one folks.
GG ALLIN- VIOLENT BEATINGS CD
-This is the hard to find "Watch Me Kill" EP, completely remixed
& mastered from the original 4-track master tapes along with previously
unreleased alternate versions of songs from the Suicide Sessions. 13 songs
by the man who absolutely defines rock & roll nihilism. Brutal, crude,
offensive, and unrelenting. Booklet includes the hand scrawled account
of these sessions by GG and some pretty cool pics of him and the band.
An absolute must for the GG fan. You've been warned.
WARM JETS- S/T 7"
-OK, Ramones Fans, this is CJ Ward's (aka CJ Ramone) new band. This single
contains two outstanding tracks of raw, stripped-down ock & roll.
The a-side is a mean, low-slung, swaggering, soon-to-be classic. The flip
is a hard-driving Ramones-style rocker complete with minimalist Pete Shelley-type
solo. THIS COPY IS ON THE LIMITED EDITION CLEAR VINYL!!!
OUT COLD- PLANNED ACCIDENTS 7"
-5 track EP. Raw, simple, to-the-point hardcore punk. No frills.
BURRITO RECORDS (USA)
Death Sentence- Until The End Of The Sentence (1985-89) CD
-Death Sentence terrorized the Australian hardcore scene from the mid
1980s to the early 1990s. In their time, they were the fastest band in
the southern hemisphere and one of the fastest in the world. They have
been compared often to SIEGE and D.R.I. A hard-working band, Death Sentence
made numerous recordings. Everything the band ever released -- and more
-- is on "Until The End Of The Sentence," a 50 minute, 35 song
history lesson. The 24-page CD booklet is filled with live photos, lyrics,
show flyers, a 1985 zine interview and other memoribilia. The music has
been restored professionally so it is louder and stronger than ever. A
must for all thrashers, hardcores and punks! Fans of Septic Death, Larm,
Heresy, Siege, Ripcord and early D.R.I. should hear these guys.
-Belching Penguin - Demos 1985-1988 7"
-Final EP From Florida's BELCHING PENGUINS. This 7” features songs
from their 1985 and 1988 demos-Classic 80's hardcore with extensive liner
notes and info. the 85 demos features some of the great tracks that later
were re-recorded on their classic "Draft Beer Not Me" Lp
REALITY IMPAIRED RECORDINGS (USA)
Sockeye- Obscure, Rare, Limited and Unreleased CD
-The definitive SOCKEYE collection right here, right now. They’ve
amassed a pretty cult like following since their unfateful demise in 1998,
and this CD contains all of their finest moments. I remember seeing every
one of atheir singles in all the local record shops and no one was buying
them. They’d sit in the record bins for years before they were marked
down and would eventually trickle out of the shops. You couldn’t
pay some people to buy their records back than because there was a definate
love em or hate em stance on the band. One of the dumbest, most dumbed
down bands in punk history. Newer bands like the Spits, Kill The Hippies,
Live Fast Die, etc. got nothing on SOCKEYE when it comes to the most idiotic
music ever created. Songs like ‘I Used To Look Like Sean Penn, Than
I Grew Up’, ‘The Elderly Love Grilled Cheese’, ‘You
Plus Us Is Us’ and ‘All My Freinds Have Feet’ should
give you an idea of where these guys are coming from. SOCKEYE existed
from 1987 - 1998, with a piss poor one off reunion show in 2002. This
CD compiles all the shit that was recorded betwen ‘87 - ‘98.
None of it was remixed or remastered and it still sounds craptacular after
all these years. 48 songs of No Fi brilliance with liner notes by Poopy
Necronde and lyrics to 26 of your favorite SOCKEYE songs. RECCOMENDED!!

the wilds of Indiana. Wild and demented dirge garage here from these sludge
garage crooners. Killer lookin thick ass full color cover. LIMTIED TO
300 COPIES!!
Blinds- S/T 7”
-The Blinds are some kids from Uppsala with their debut release. The A-Side
contains two tunes of straight-up buzzsaw punk. On the B-Side is where
it gets interesting, as they suddenly turn into what I'm assuming is the
first and only Swedish skate rock band. I didn't even know they skated
in Sweden. Crazy. Anyway, "Skate & Party" is a minute and
a half jab at the genre, complete with a wah solo and the requiste breakdown.
"T.H.P." (I haven't figured out what it stands for...) has even
more circle-pit worthy tempo changes. If yer diggin stuff like Dean Dirg
or the Regulations, you’ll dig the Blinds. LIMTIED TO 300 COPIES!!
The Novelties - Insted Of A Hug 7”
-This one here is the best of the four new Swedish-style Ken Rock platters.
Real head-of-the-class shit. "Instead of A Hug" actually appears
to be a love song dedicated to the titular bass player of HFOS himself.
Sort of a slow dark-pop kind of neo-Blondie-ish style (but without any
keyboards) and the gal singing sounds like a cross between Nina Hagen
and Alice Bag. The whole EP has a kind of lecherous feel with some definite
weird punk/weird sex stylings. "Miniskirt" is about underage
girls who don't wear panties sung by a swarthy sounding Swedish dude.
Great stuff so far. The B-Side kicks off with a tune called "Bass
in My Ass". No shit. As junior high as it may be, I actually find
this girl singing "I've got a bass in my ass" to be fairly hilarious.
The band manages to sound like the Swedish Shitbirds, or maybe even the
No-Talents at this point. Then they close with "Chanel No. 5",
another shadowy poppy/wave number about finding your man with another
girl and scratching her eyes out. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!
Belly Button- S/T 7"
-Great debut single here from the Belly Buttons....and pink vinyl yeeh!!!
Four hot-rocking blasts of raucous garage punk action. The Belly Buttons
are from Japan and these two girls + one guy write great popcorny, poppy
rockers. Think early Bobbyteens mixed Teengenerate??? Weird, no it´s
fantastic! LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ON SNAZZY PINK WAX!!!
