HOVERCRAFT RECORDS (USA)
The Bugs- S/T LP
-Magical things happen at house parties. People get drunk, act crazy, laugh, and even the worst, most self-conscious dancer shakes it. The Bugs is a piñata-pounding house-party gallop like no other, crisp and listenable a million times over, but don’t take my word for it. Take it from the self-proclaimed “originator of the whole sorry, loathsome rockwrite shuck.” The album comes stamped with the official (perhaps collectible) approval of famously cantankerous rock-writing godfather, Richard Meltzer, who provides a patently acerbic yet high-praising original liner note. According to His Surliness, rock ‘n’ roll is a pointless, long dead, and “irredeemably oppressive” load of crap that no one should ever bother to play again, let alone write about. He then proclaims the Bugs to be the “lone exception,” and orders us to “Dig it, people: the Bugs are the flying fucking shit.” Who am I to argue?

Suspect Parts - Maneater 7"
-Featuring Justin Maurer from the Clorox Girls / Red Dons and Chris Bell from the Briefs. While spending time in Europe, both came together and wrote one ripper and a cover of 'She Cracked' by The Modern Lovers. 'Man Eater' is the standout track and brings to mind a more anthemic punk version of the Clorox Girls with Justin on both vocals and guitar duties.

Les Meatles/Stinky Pinky's- International Split 7"
-After surviving 5+ years together while working at one of the crazier rock clubs on the planet, these 3 friends decided to start a 'fun' band that would be an outlet to express their nightlife antics. Good with an aresenal of inspiration seeing some of the better and worse bands in Berlin, they fused their inspiration with their musical interest to crank ou some good ole dirty Rock-n-Roll. Backing them are Les Meatles from Lens, France and this is their debut release. Taking influences from the Stones, early Kinks, The Dogs, Fleshtones and Gun Club, Les Meatles brew up two ass kickin pieces of rock 'n roll from the depths of the urban jungle! 7” IS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Here Comes A Big Black Cloud- Party Vietnam 10"
-Clunky band name aside, these Portaland dudes come through with some rammin'n'jammin weirdo-rock here. Definitely more rock than weird, and it's not so much primo scree as it is a really rhythmic lumber. Heavy burl on the drum-n-rhythm with jabberjawing vocals and bits and pieces of synth noise and shit thrown in here and there making for a heavy monstrous stew. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE ON CLEAR WAX. 1 PER ORDER!!

Mirrors- Something That Would Never Do LP
-Cleveland, Ohio, early 1970s: a land of struggling industry, widespread unemployment, racial unrest, failing sports teams and cheap beer. Who said those were different times? The only things that have changed are the cars on the road and the bands in the bars. Back then there was something special going on in the dive clubs and abandoned lofts littered across the city’s west side, as a small group of free-thinking punks began to emerge from the silted shadows to forge a new style of rock & roll that would reflect not only Cleveland’s post-industrial grittiness. But also its isolated strangeness. They would believe in the grooves of the Velvet Underground, the words of Bob Dylan, ESP records and little else. Of all the first-wave post-Velvets groups to surface amongst the detritus of this era—and I’m talking on a national level here—Cleveland’s Mirrors were the ones who took it most to heart. And considering the lack of attention paid to lead songwriter Jamie Klimek, who formed the band in 1972, especially when compared to his lakeside contemporaries Rocket From the Tombs, Electric Eels, etc. (you know the story), Mirrors were easily the most overlooked.

Finally! The classic Cleveland, OH sounds from the 70's all on one handy full length- 15 trax, including both sides of the Hearthan 7" single, all but one of the "Those Were Different Times" Scat 10" cuts, and others from the "Hands In My Pockets" CD on Overground. Some might say a "best of" and after listening to this from start to finish, I think you’ll agree. All trax recorded between '74 and '75. Officially licensed from the band and remastered for the ears by John Golden. CLASSIC - Great Stuff! Featuring members of the ELECTRIC EELS, ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS, STYRENES, PERE UBU, EASTER MONKEYS, etc. THIS WAS LIMITED TO 800 COPIES. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!

NEVER HEARD OF IT (USA)
Estrogen Highs- Luxury Is God 7”
-Just another little rocket from nowhere this week, and what could be seen as a completely unassuming 7" by the Estrogen Highs. This has just enough of what's usually missing from a straight forward rock'n roll band these days. With nothing more than a peculiar name and an affiliation with the Sudden Walks as reference points, Estrogen Highs have delivered a simplistic and direct stab at primitive rock'n roll that continues to seep in and take hold long after the record stops. Not too far off from the oddly familiar Tyvek debut in it's inability to be pigeonholed, Estrogen Highs take that same 'less is more' aesthetic and keep it honest and catchy by letting the music hammer out their blurry, scuzzy message. THIS 7" WAS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!! RECCOMENDED!!

FLAT BLACK RECORDS (USA)
Cat Party- S/T - LP/CD
-Cat Party’s first full length comes to us after an impressive debut ep and split 7” and displays a sound that reflects the gloomy hypnotism of bands like The Wipers or Joy Division. This also has some great guitar work that not only resonates with a Greg Sage influence but hints of early Christian Death can be found in the guitar playing. The vocals have that classically cool vibe of greats like Rik L. Rik with a solid rhythm section holding it all together and giving the tunes a nice backbeat. Whatever tags you want to put on it; post punk, new wave, punk, it doesn’t matter, they seamlessly bring together some of the best elements in music and bring a sound that is Cat Party. LP and CD differ a little bit in the track listing so check out both. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

C.O.P.- Deadicated Cop 7”
-Like most young hardcore bands of today, C.O.P.’s sophomore release shows us a faster, more intense and musically complicated band that has gotten better with time. The lyrics have matured and they have shed the catchiness of the first ep to bring a brutal slab of so cal hardcore. Take the nardcore sound of their first ep and the rapid-fire precision of Poison Idea’s “Pick Your King” and you have the new C.O.P. 7”. Although the songs are faster, tighter, and angrier each song stands out, definitely not another hardcore record that sounds like one long song. The best stuff yet from one of Southern California’s best hardcore bands.

Gross Negligence- Skate The Apocalypse 7"
-On Skate The Apocalypse these So. Cal. rippers give us six good skate-punk songs in less than eight minutes. If you have open wounds on your arms and legs, occasionally evacuate on the hoods of squad cars and view dark alleys as a ripe place for commerce, Gross Negligence are for you. This makes me think of an even more pised off Code Of Honor, even though their are tons of different influences in their music. It also has some elements to it that harken back to the early days of ANS. Well played skate core from the best San Diego band since Battalion Of Saints. RECCOMENDED 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Makabert Fynd- S/T 7"
-This one comes out of left field a bit for Flat Black. While the label is known for releasing youthful, energetic hardcore from southern California, this is a heavy-as-fuck face-ripper from Sweden that is very much working within the tradition of that country's great history of heavy crust (Anti-Cimex, Avskum, Skitkids, etc.). If you're the kind of person who hunts down obscure Japanese hardcore records, this 7" is for you... recommended! 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Crucial Cause- Blood Money 7"
-This thrashcore band comes back with another ep full of seething NY via Japan inspired hardcore. A blistering, balls-out sonic attack of their trademark bastardization of frantic DIY Japanese/mid 80’s NYC-influenced hardcore mixed with heavy, sludgy, bombastic MOTORHEADish bass salvos and some startling, iconoclastic guitar riffing. With a new guitar player in the band we see an even faster band with a slight metallic edge to the guitar work. Another great release from a great band. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Bad Antics- The Wave 7”
-New EP by this band who is from Fullerton, California and actually sounds like it. Think Adolescents , JFA and DI to the max. You know their debut on Sorry State. And impressively as it is, this ones even better. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Dogends- S/T LP
-GREAT debut LP from Ventura CA's Dogends. These guys dish the good. A definately nod to Mystic style hardcore ala JFA, Ill Reptue, Dr. Know etc. Its a solid skate-core record with some drive and a crazy sense of humor. Impressive shit here.

Bad Man- Neighborhood Watch LP
-New-ish band from california that spits out this raging LP full of ultra fast and tight thrashy punk killers. This band brings to mind ILL REPUTE, DRI and DEEP WOUND. It's that extra fast style that takes it to the next level and isn't just trying to sound like every one else. Side A is killer studio tracks, Side 2 is rip roaring raw demo tracks. If you like DLA, imagine them on 45 and get this! It rules.

ANS - SUCCESS AT LAST CD
-Early material from this Texas skate rock band. Taking cues from Black Flag and JFA, this is the beginning of ANS, when they were known as Defaced. Great songs about skateboarding and contemporary issues from one of the best hardcore bands of today.

BAD REACTION - HAD IT COMING CD
-Faster and tighter than ever before, Bad Reaction compile their two most recent vinyl releases on one CD. Building upon their Zero Boys style sound, you hear a more fierce Bad Reaction but still with great songwriting and solid musicianship to give you their best material yet. Mix Zero Boys, the bass work of the Descendents and the speed of Uniform Choice and you will have a good idea of what this sounds like.

BAD REACTION - SYMPTOMS OF YOUTH CD
-Catchy debut LP from this LA band. This makes you think of those great bands of yesteryear who could play fast interesting hardcore but with melody mixed in with all the agression. If you like Zero Boys or bands in that vein, you’ll love this.

Imposters- S/T CD
-Youthful punk from San Pedro, CA reminscent of bands like the Adolescents or the Faction.

Tippers Gore- Unsettling Loss 7"
- Newest release from this Orange County Hardcore band and quite possibly their best record yet. Another installment of anger and frustration over fast, jumpy hardcore but with a catchy feel reminiscent of their earlier material. For those unfamiliar with their sound think DC Hardcore meets Nardcore. Awesome Pushead style cover art and LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Social Sickness- S/T 7”
- Straight ahead, in your face hardcore with that great early DRI sound but with a skate rock edge to it. Add Mystic style riffage with great shouted vocals and you will have a pretty good idea of what this sounds like. Hardcore the way it should be; fast, angry, with just the right amount of added guitar work to make it interesting. If you liked the COP 7", you will love this. 12 song on the single.

Crucial Cause/Rat Damage- Split 7"
-The second official Flat Black Distribution title. These Crucial Cause tracks are songs left over from the "Try Our Luck" recording session, so anyone who has heard that record knows what to expect here. Great thrashy hardcore with a strong NYHC feel to it. Rat Damage have a more mid tempo approach and are rockin' in that Sick Pleasure kind of way but with gruff, throaty vocals that bring bands from the Midwest to mind. Awesome cover art by Paul Imagine. LIMITED TO 400 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!!

Timebombs- Kill Music 7”
- Timebombs Second Ep shows us a huge progression from their Society's To Blame/ Doc Brown 7". Their first Ep was reminiscent of Mystic bands but this release sounds a lot like early FU's meets Koro. The raw 80's style recording makes me think of hardcore gems like the Mecht Mensch Acceptance 7" or an early Fartz record. Fast, youthful tunes with heart and a sense of humor.

Imposters- Pool Maintenance 7”
-First official release from this South Bay Band and first title we are officially distributing. Three extremely talented High School kids playing punk that takes cues from all kinds of punk and hardcore. In their sound, I can hear a youthful Orange County vibe of bands like Adolescents and the surfy vibe of Agent Orange. This also brings to mind the Authorities and some RKL. Diverse yet familiar. LIMITED TO 300 COIPES!!!

C.O.P. - Ripperside 7”
-This is the debut release from Riverside's C.O.P. (Citizens On Patrol). Eight songs of skate infused hardcore that brings you back to the days of classic nardcore like Stalag 13 and False Confession. Great riffs backed with solid, blistering drums and snotty yet intelligible vocals. Songs you will be singing after the first time you hear them. This band is a must-see live. There aren't many around today who shove as much energy into their sets as C.O.P. Standout tracks include Ripperside/C.O.P., Hitchhikers and No Secrets. This is what punk rock is all about people. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT POSTER WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Tippers Gore- Blackout 7”
-Debut six song seven inch from Tippers Gore here. Total 80's style fast and thrasshy HC here from this new Orange County, CA bnad. In the vein of greats like Minor Threat and Negative Approach these dudes bash out 6 fierce rippin tunes on this single. Fans of Skate Korpse, Sex Vid, Koro or even Agent Orange will dig.

Crucial Cause- Try Our Luck 7"
-This is the Bay Area band's first release and although it has that familiar thrashy Bay Area sound of great bands like Warkrime and Deadfall, it also has a strong NYHC influence, which sets it apart from their counterparts. Take Bay Area thrash and mix it with New York bands like Antidote and Youth Of Today, and you will have a pretty good idea of what this sounds like. For fans of all eras of hardcore. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT INSERT WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Bad Reaction- Plastic World 7"
-Latest EP from this California band after their well-received full-length. These guys play some really diverse HC with a cool, Zero Boys-like bass sound, some Ginn-esque riffage and pissed-off vocals that recall early AFI (a good thing I think!). These guys definitely separate themselves from the pack and sound Southern California as fuck. Great single here. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT INSERT WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Tippers Gore- S/T LP
-First full length from this Orange County hardcore band. 12 songs here with a few Minor Threat/DC Youth Brigade inspired hardcore tunes and a few that remind me a bit of the Zero Boys. Awesome cover art too. Sound and feel of the band, leans heavily towards early to mid 80’s punk. You know, back when melodic punk was still tough. LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES AND INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT INSERT WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

INDIAN RECORDINGS (UK)
GG Allin/Disco Lepers- Split 7”
-This comes in a double-sided 14"x7" cover with GG and Disco Lepers sides on the front, & a kick-ass collage on the back - all designed by cult punk rock artist Marco NFT. Printed insert with lyrics, etc., also included. This is one serious f***in' punk rock package!! A shotgun-marriage between America's most feared scum punk & London's most feared punk scums. The GG side includes the first ever full release of the acoustic version of Carmelita (previously only available on the 'Hated' soundtrack CD, & marred by an unrelated voiceover) and another killer called ‘Fuck Authority’. On the flip, the Disco Lepers eviscerate the bogus, so-called modern 'outlaw country' movement with 3 non-generic tunes that uniquely mix the snottiest '77 KBD punk with an uncontrived & shitkickin' country attack. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

NO FRONT TEETH (UK)

-Two brand new cuts from the SODA POP KIDS in thier trademark style. A fun and infectious blend of the rough punk edge of the Dead Boys and the New York Dolls, the infectious rock ‘n’ roll rhythms of Little Richard and Chuck Berry, and the ‘60s bubblegum pop of Phil Spector’s girl groups – but gone wild. The Soda Pop Kids have carved themselves a permanent name in Portland punk history in recent years with their bubblegum punk sound and charismatic live show. With refreshing songs and a style all their own they dive headfirst into the very essence of good times rock ‘n’ roll. Tony from the Riffs plays in this band and that should be a serious stamp of approval. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ON RED YELLOW AND BLUE SPLAT WAX!!

Greatest Hits- Saved My Life CD
-The second full-length from Seattle’s glam powerpoppers. If you heard their first album you know how great these guys are. 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 killer... this band is not about dressing up and going through the motions... these songs have got soul. Recorded and produced by Steve E. Nix (who’s on backing vox and percussion too) and Johnny Sangster (Cute Lepers/Briefs producer).

Snazzy Boys- S/T CD
-The debut full-length from Italy's number one spastics...The Snazzy Boys.

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 of the way OUT OF PRINT 2nd press 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 cursive band name is scrawled all the way down the left hand side in a completely different font. The first pressing had the band name written in block letters much smaller and on an angle in the upper left hand corner. This copy is also on the LIMITED EDITION ORANGE WAX!! The 7" 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!!

WALLRIDE RECORDS (USA)
The Shitty Limits- Beware The Limits CD
-Crazed punk rock from the UK that’s too catchy to be hardcore, too intense to be punk. Their DNA betrays an ancestry of 60s garage cavemen like The Monks and The Sonics, late-70s British punk (especially ‘Pink Flag’-era Wire) and early-80s US punk – Red Cross. A band of more jellified backbone might, by this point, have shepherded their tunesmith abilities into radio-ready realms for the first label offering them a living wage. The Shitty Limits are better than that, as well as being better than the vast majority of contemporary punk rock. Pounding rhythms and violent guitars sounding like a Fender Twin with razorwire speakers, make this one a disc that;ll definately be staying by the CD player.

Deep Sleep- Three Things At Once CD
-In three years, the Baltimore-based DEEP SLEEP have fine-tuned their California influenced punk rock sound to something that consistently gives nods to bands like THE ADOLESCENTS, THE DESCENDENTS and CHANNEL 3, but in shorter, snottier doses. For the uninitiated, Deep Sleep enjoy uniting the poppy passive aggression of the Pagans with Black Flag's borderline cacophonous guitar passages and wonky guitar fills. Now imagine Adolescents delivering all of that, but with a bit of a snotty undertone. It's the kind of stuff you want to hate and instantly dismiss as an uninventive regurgitation but when tracks like "On A Slab," "I'm On Top" and "Checkout" rip along they creap up on ya like a gradual nicotine fit: you're hooked before you know it. Unlike lung darts though, Three Things At Once actually gives you more of a reason to live. Punk fucking rock.

The Jons- The Queen Of The Abyss 7”
-From the rotten hillbilly lands of Carroll County, Maryland come the Jons, dropping their 3 song debut single on your unsuspecting ears. Side A hits you with a catchy fuzzed out tune about a sea monster, Side B teaches you all about Electric Kool-Aid, girls named Ava and why you'll never be the same again. Going from the Dolls to Funhouse and Rocketing to Russia in 3.5 bong hits. LIMITED TO 300 ON WHITE VINYL!!!

Marvelous Darlings- The Swords, The Streets 7”
-Get ready to shit the bed over these two insanely catchy rippers from our neighbors to the north the Marvelous Darlings from Toronto. Featuring Ben Cook (Fucked Up) damn, this guy is one hell of a good singer. Hot on the heels of the debut Deranged Rec. single, "The Swords, The Streets" will have you bouncing like an eighth grader on crystal meth. Think Tranzmitors meets Ramones in a dirty garage!!!

Drag The River- A Way With Women 7”
-Three new tearjerkers from alt-country kings Drag The River. Jon and Chad each turn in acoustic heartbreakers on Side A, and an unreleased recording from 2003 on Side B. 2ND PRESS REPRESS LIMITED TO 200 COPIES ON BLACK WAX!!

The Swims- Ride Of The Blueberry Winter LP
-Insanely catchy psychedelic power-pop on par with Guided By Voices and Neutral Milk hotel from the dirty swamps of Scranton, PA. The best record you'll buy this year and if "Sara Jean" isn't stuck in your head for weeks I'll personally come to your house and perform dirty acts. Get stoned. WE HAVE A FEW ON THE WAY LIMITED PURPLE, BLACK AND WHITE SPLATTER WAX!!. ONE HER ORDER!!!!

Ergs- Blue 7”
-Two songs from New Jersey's finest, side A being a quick catchy tune of unrequited love that'll be sailing through your head for days, side B has the Ergs sludging through a cover so heavy you won't shit right for a month. More palindromic rock filled hooks that take cues from the Minutemen, Replacements, Elvis Costello, Black Flag, Green Day and the Zombies. An incredible rollercoaster ride of fast, slow, and really fast tempos with heart felt lyrics that hit close to home. THESE COPIES COME ON THE LIMITED EDITION BLUE VINYL!!!!

The Pumpers- S/T 7”
-The Pumpers play loud, dirty and catchy garage punk From Denton, TX featuring members of the Wax Museums. These big boys got goosed by the Black Lips in a dirty Texas alley and out sprang these bastard kings of trash pop. A must if you're a fan of the Black Lips, Wax Museums or Wrists. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

STRESS DOMAIN (USA)
Ecoli- Judas Cradle 7”
-It's been two years of sadistic teasing since the release of the now classic demo EP, and ECOLI finally returns with another amazing release. More disease-ridden, perverted lyrics spewed out over absolutely schizoid stop/time changes and complex song structures absolutely guaranteed to mash your brains into a submissive puddle of piss. Welcoming former Warkrime members... the all-talented Brutal Sean (also of Migraine) on drums and Max on bass. This record is essential.

Migraine- S/T 7”
-After an absolutely ripping but unfortunately fairly sheltered demo, Concord CA's Migraine present their debut EP, tearing through six songs of death worship and paranoia. This is some real "end-of-your-life" hardcore. Savage bass lines. Mind bending guitar riffs. Speedy, violent drumming. And some pretty brutal vocals. Think Youth Korps. Think Infest. Think early United Mutation. Just don't think too hard. ONE TIME PRESSING OF 500 COPIES!!

Valoids- S/T 7”
-Demo tunes pressed to wax by So Cal's stupid and retarded decimators, The Valoids. Been compared to Deep Wound meets Angry Samoans with bits of KBD laced in. Second and last press copies limited to 325 w/ whole new cover and layout

Forced Down- S/T 7”
-Forced Down was a band that started, essentially out of members of many other bands. It became an idea, the idea became a sound, the sound had a look and identity... And it was all built out of what was not happening in their local scene... It never wanted a Label, it never wanted a scene, it wanted to be for everyone... This, at the very time the "scene" was becoming more and more cliquish. Forced Down didn’t want to be cliquish...from their artwork to their recordings..... they only wanted to be a band called Forced Down. The band started in motion by Mike Down and Joey Piro...Mike was singing in local H/C heros "Amenity" who were based out of the south of San Diego in Chula Vista. And Joey was playing drums in SD Legends PitchFork. This is the debut Forced Down single entitled "Rise". The band recorded and mixed the four songs in one night...Engineered by Joe "Master" McGrath. The band had matured a lot since their demo days and many consider these to be thee best Forced Down material ever writte. Pretty hard single to find from this old band that came out back in 1989.

45 REVOLUTIONS RECORDS (UK)
DRONES - Live in Japan CD
-Drones were one of the first UK punk bands back in 1976. Two years ago they got back together and played some great shows at the now legendary Holidays In The Sun Festivals. In 1997, they toured Japan and this CD captures two of those shows. It’s got top-notch sound quality, and plays a full 75 minutes. Nice documentary of this long standing UK punk band.

TOXIC SHOCK RECORSDS (USA)
The Fells- Amped CD
-The first time I saw the Fells play was at a backyard kegger near Tucson, Arizona's beatnick 4th Avenue. It was one of my first real experiences with garage music. They were loud and loose and completely inspiring – it was a revelation to my teenage mind that rock bands could be regular dudes you saw around town. The set lasted only fifteen minutes before the cops showed up to slay the fun as all the underage partiers dropped their red plastic cups and made a hasty escape through the back gate. In less than a decade the Fells released nine top-notch singles, one incredible 10" and two absolutely killer albums. Most people will know the Fells from their second album on Bellingham's Estrus Records. But this is actually the bands first, and far superior, full length that only came out on CD. These guys really made their mark on the late 90’s garage scene before dispersing to the winds like sand in a desert storm. Jeff moved to San Francisco and went on to form theTrust Fund Babies and later the Radio Reelers. And Heath moved to Seattle to play in the Vultures before turning up in Detroit where he currently plays with Tyvek. A nice slice of the late 90’s garage scene here for fans of the New Bomb Turks, Headcoats, Mummies and Oblivians.

Raw Power- 'Screams From The Gutter' LP
-When Screams came out in 1984 it was certainly the first Italian HC record to get wide attention in the international world of punk rock. It was recorded in Indianapolis two thirds into RAW POWER's first U.S. tour. Paul Mahern of Zero Boys produced it at the studio he worked at. It was recorded in one day. On Screams from the Gutter, you get 17 blistering hardcore songs in all with great VINCE RANCID artwork that gives Pushead a run for his money! If you're unfamiliar with RAW POWER, don't claim to be a real punk rocker! This LP is the absolute pinacle of RAW POWER’S extensive career and is a must for every punk record collection. LIMITED COPIES OF THIS ONE AVAILABLE!!

V/A- Barricaded Suspects CD
-This is a reissue of this classic LP and marks quite a land mark. This is Septic Deaths first vinyl appearance and Toxic Shock Records very first Release (TX-LP-01 1983). The Septic Death track is a live track of Eye Missing taken from their set Aug 28 1983 with the FU's. A studio version of this song has never been released. The artwork is done by Pushead and also includes some way hard to find gems from PEACE CORPSE, HUMAN THERAPY, RED TIDE, KILLROY, ROMULANS, KNOCKABOUTS, ABSCESS, SUBURBAN MUTILATION, SEPTIC DEATH, DULL, MASSACRE GUYS, DECRY, ROACH MOTEL, BONDED IN UNITY, MAD PARADE, HUNDREDTH MONKEY, VISION/DECAY, HUE & CRY and includes bonus tracks not on the original LP from THE DULL, PEACE CORPSE, PILLSBURY HARDCORE AND THE ZIMBO CHIMPS. This comp. was pretty monumental when it came out, and still holds the test of time. A nice slice of the early 80’s HC scene.

V/A- 4 Old Toxic Shock 7"s CD
-The title says it all here! If you’re a collector of early to mid 80’shardcore, I’m sure your’e familiar with these way hard to find singles. Well here they are for the first time on CD!! Some of the earliest (1982-1984) of the Toxic Shock Records 7"s! You get 21 songs from these long sought-after releases including the first Noise From Nowhere 7" comp with infamous "exploding penis" artwork by PUSHEAD, Pomona CA's PEACE CORPSE Quincy 7"EP (more gruesome PUSHEAD art), Victoria B.C.'s RED TIDE Kelp and Salal 7"EP (featuring the future drummer for D.O.A., Ken Jensen R.I.P.), and Salt Lake City's MASSACRE GUYS Behind the Eight Ball 7"EP (with future and current DECENDENTS/ALL members Karl Alvarez and Stephen Egerton). Liner notes from Bill/Toxic Shock and the CD booklet includes lots of photo's and old ads from the lost archives of Toxic Shock's Pomona years. Toxic Shock Records has been, and will always remain "The Assassin of Mediocrity."

Raw Power- 'Screams From The Gutter/After Your Brain' CD
-This CD combines their essential Paul Mahern (Zero Boys) produced "Screams from the Gutter" record with the mighty follow-up, "After Your Brain" . You get 30 blistering hardcore songs in all with great VINCE RANCID artwork that gives Pushead a run for his money! Includes the tracks "State Oppesssion", My Boss", "Hate", Nihilist" , "We Shall Overcome" and "You're Fired". If you're unfamiliar with RAW POWER, don't claim to be a real punk rocker, OK? Get to know your history! Here's a review from Trouser Press: RAW POWER "Screams from the Gutter" (Toxic Shock) In an interesting bit of Euro-American hardcore fraternity, the debut album by this Italian punk band — five guys from Reggio — was recorded in Indiana and issued by a California label. On "Screams from the Gutter", Raw Power plays genre creations like "Hate," "Nihilist," "Bastard" and "My Boss" with fiery punk venom, helpfully singing them in English. "After Your Brain" offers far better production and more instrumental refinement, but Raw Power still burns up the grooves on thirteen new cuts like "You Are Fired," "We Shall Overcome," "Shut Up" and "What For." Mauro's careful diction makes him clearer and more understandable than many American vocalists; the two guitarists (one of them a new arrival in the band) work hard to avoid sounding routine. A powerful piece of work. [Ira Robbins] Their name RAW POWER was lifted from the seminal 1973 Stooges album, the Italian hardcore band Raw Power debuted in 1985 with Screams From the Gutter, an English-language album recorded for the California label Toxic Shock. One year later the group followed with a four-tracker called Wop Hour, the title a curious dig at themselves. Second album After Your Brain was released in 1987, also on Toxic Shock.

Here's some thoughts from Chris of BCT: "When Screams came out in 1984 it was certainly the first Italian HC record to get wide attention in the world of punk, outside of Italy, particularly in the U.S. as it was released by a U.S. label cuz it was recorded in Indianapolis two thirds into RAW POWER's first U.S. tour. Paul Mahern of Zero Boys produced it at the studio he worked at. It was recorded in one day. This CD combines both absolutely classic and essential RAW POWER albums.

HIBATCHI RECORDS (USA)
V/A- Hibatchi Omnibus Volume #2 7"
- If this isn't the best compilation released in 2005 I don't have a fucking clue what is. A co-release between Painesville, Ohio's Hibachi Records and Detroit's Fourteegee Profuctions, this is a ripper of a hardcore punk 7" compilation if I've ever heard one. The idea here was to combine the best modern Midwest HC-punk with the best modern Japanese HC-punk and the outcome is nothing short of punishing and brilliant. Japan's Insane Youth AD kicks off the record with an insane track titled "Attack of IYAD" that is literally all over the place and really sets the mood and tempo for the rest of the album. Cleveland's Upstab is next with a cut titled "Nailed Mary", which is easliy the A-Side's best song. On the B-Side you have Detroit's Bill Bondsmen kicking out their best recorded song yet with "Human Veal". Japan's always great Chainsaw closes out the record with "Set Me Free", a real ass-kicker and a fantastic closer to this 7". If you have an interest in checking out some excellent modern-day hardcore/punk, but don't quite know where to look, this is as good a place as you'll find to start.

BOOTS (Parts Unknown)
Glenn Danzig- Who Killed Marilyn 7”
-Glenn Danzig is the founder of the Misfits (original lineup 1977-1983), Samhain, and Danzig. He is often associated with the Devilock, a distinctive hairstyle for which he and fellow band members of The Misfits and Samhain were known. He also owns the Plan 9 record label and Verotik, an adult-oriented comic book publishing company. His musical career spans nearly thirty years and this was the first single he released after splitting from the Misfits and going solo. "Who Killed Marilyn?" is a song by Glenn Danzig, about questions surrounding the death of actress Marilyn Monroe, with the titular question suggesting she was murdered. Though Danzig's first solo single, the song has since been included on various collections by The Misfits. The B-side, "Spook City USA" was also recorded previously with the Misfits during the Night of the Living Dead session, but that much faster version was not released until the 1996 release of The Misfits Box Set. Great stuff here for the Danzig/Misfits collector.

Operation Ivy- 'Plea For Peace' 7"
-OK Op Ivy fans, this ones for you!! Side A contains cuts from Op Ivy's unreleased 1987 demo. It was recorded at Gilman St. on 8/24/87 by Brian Edge and includes a searing Blasters cover. The B Side contains TWO unused cuts from the "Hectic" EP sessions. They were recorded in November 1987 at Dangerhouse Rhythm in Oakland and were engineered and mixed by Kevin Army and were produced by Kevin and Lint. The insert is pretty sweet. It includes a nice lengthy history of the early days of the the band including some funny tour stories. This is an absolute must for all Rancid and Op Ivy fans. Great slice of the early East Bay punk scene and way out of print.

The Germs- Lions Share LP
--Here is it GERMS fans, a killer retrospective from this seminal LA punk band. On this LP ya get all the tracks from the way hard to find Cruising Soundtrack. Not many people know about these songs that teh Germs recorded for this flick. On top of that you get a killer live set from their last show ever at the Starwood. Post Darby Crash band and a killer set. The best of the best here!! THIS LP WAS LIMITED TO 500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES, SO GET IT WHILE YA CAN!!

The Misfits- Cough Cool 7"
-Now's your chance to own this classic Misfits single. Blank blue label reish of this classic single originally on Blank Records. Two early Misfits hits, rough & melodic. Quite different to their other records. No guitar, just an organ & Glenn's voice making the songs quite unique. Sorta gloomy, and the organ adds a spooky Doors touch to it. A must for any punk record collection or Misfits/Danzig collector!!!

SIX WEEKS RECORDS (USA)
Raw Power- Still Screaming LP
-RAW POWER has defined hardcore punk not only in their homeland of Italy, but all over the world for over 20 years. This new LP features this legendary group in top form, retaining all the energy, anger and passion that has driven their existence since the beginning. This is true hardcore through and through...bulldozer guitar attack with the trademark screaming vocals that made Italian punk history what it is today. Sadly, shortly after this new recording, the band lost their founder and leader Giuseppe Codeluppi to heart disease. Six Weeks is honored that the band has chosen the label to release their final testament to Giussepe; his dedication and passion to punk rock lives in all of us. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

NO BRAIN RECORDS (Italy)
Raw Power- Trust Me LP
-It's been almost 15 years since I last heard anything from this Italian institution and, judging from this release, things haven't changed much. The formula is still metallic guitars married to over-the-top, punishing hardcore. The only noticable difference I'm able to detect is that Mauro's voice has gotten a little raspier over the years. Raw Power fans or any HC fans that wants to hear anything as punnishing as 'Screams from the Gutter'. This ones a must have.

INCREDIBLE SHRINKING RECORD LABEL (USA)
F-Minus- Suburban Blight LP: Import Price
-Well F-Minus fans, this ones pretty hard to find. It's one of the ones with the way hard to find HAND SCREENED LP JACKETS!! The front covers screened in black ink, and the backs screened in blue ink. If yer wondering what the Los Angeles punk scene's been up to the last few years, this would be a good place to start. WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND LONG OUT OF PRINT!!

FRANTIC CITY RECORDS (France)
The Beavers- Silly Girls 7"
-Yes, thee legendary garage rockers from Groningen are back with a vengeance!! Back from the grave, the Beavers have returned with a new line-up and a fresh set of wild rocking garage tunes! In the early nineties the Beavers spearheaded a wave of Dutch sixties garage bands, a scene focused around the legendary Vera Club in Groningen. The Beavers' first single "Nancy you're a square", recorded by Mike Mariconda (Raunch Hands, Devil Dogs...), came out on Kogar records in the early 90s, and a year later they did a split with Gaunt on Demolition Derby. They put a great 10" out on High School Refuse Records in 2008 showing the world they still had loads of cool songs in store for us and here is another proof with this 3-track killer!! Starts off with a fast-paced Garage Punk number sounding like the Lyres meet the spider Babies, then side B gives us a moody song that could have been recorded by the Crimson Shadows and a roaring tribute to Link Wray. Another burner here from the Beavs. 7” LIMITED TO 500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!

Wild Zeros- S/T 10"
-Ten tracks that could have easily fallen off one of the "Where The Birdmen Flew" or any of the other Aussie comps. Rock n Roll played the way Rock n Roll is supposed to be played - aggressive, drenched in attitude, hooks, and those killer moments that make ya wanna wing your beer straight at the band. Hints of The Real Kids, TV Killers, The Saints, Dead Boys and The Sonics. A band that has perfected the formula without becoming another faceless Rip Off /Crypt clone. Nice mix o’ 70s Ramones-isms, organ-driven 60s garage-isms, and contemporary neo rock ruckus. Terrific cover by Psychodelic Art (Holland). 10” LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!!

Heartbeeps- S/T 7"
-The Heartbeeps are a new band from Bordeaux formed by two members of the legendary TV Killers. The single includes 3 great Garage Punk tunes with a weird and frenzied sound including a Love cover. Strictly LIMITED TO 500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!! RECCOMENDED!!

Veines- S/T 7”
-Debut single of pure Punk Rock from the french Riviera. With former members of The Electric Mormons, Flaschen and Cosmic Condom these guys really shine on this 4 song single. Awesome retro sounding punk rock ala Les Olivensteins, Stalag, The Trend, Calcinator, The Sick Things and The Gears. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON BLACK WAX!! RECCOMENDED!!

Wild Zeros- Homesick 7"
- First single from the Wild Zeros, a new 4-piece band that consists in Johnny Pneumonia (Pneumonias, Flying Over, Mean Things etc), Jet Boy (Flying Over), Mean A (Mean Things) and Wild F (Magnetix, Challengers of the Unknown)! The single includes 4 raw Garage Punk cuts à la DMZ, Fun Things, early Saints, including a cover of DMZ's "Boy from nowhere" and a track featuring Looch Vibrato from the Magnetix on organ! Recorded by Lo'Spider AND HAND NUMBERED OUT OF 500 COPIES! RECCOMENDED!!!

Pneumonias- Automatic Pistol 7”
-After 2 singles on High School Refuse/Reject Records from Holland and a split single with the mighty FOUR SLICKS from Paris, the PNEUMONIAS are back with a brand new 4-track single recorded last summer with Lo'Spider (MAGNETIX, ZOOMEN, FATALS, AGGRAVATION). With a new drummer, the Filthy Frenchie trio plays faster and tighter, still bearing that typical RIP OFF punk sound but takin' more to the ANGRY SAMOANS or ZODIAC KILLERS than before. There's actually an ANGRY SAMOANS cover on this record! The other songs are 2 killer snotty Garage Punk songs ala "CHUCK BERRY meets THE RAMONES" and an upbeat Ramonesy Power Pop gem. The PNEUMONIAS have played with bands like the KIDS, ZODIAC KILLERS, MARKED MEN, BRIEFS, MAGNETIX and many others in their home country or in Germany and Netherlands and they've been the talk of the town lately so don't miss this one!

Flying Over- Danger Boy 7”
-Flying Over has been at it since 1996, and I can’t believe this is thier first 7". It's a good one! Falling somewhere in between straight-up retro '77 and Killed By Death Euro-punk, Flying Over throws it back to the days when the likes of TV Killers and Spash Four ruled the French punk scene. Boasting fantastic names (Jet Boy, Jet Girl, Gun Boy, Hero Boy) and unassailable influences (Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids, Vibrators), these Frenchie tock n' rollers could very well induce a worldwide revival of pogo dancing. A-side cuts "Danger Boy" and "Fier De Deplaire" burn fast and furious - the former sparked by a call-and-response exchange between Jet Boy and his wife Jet Girl, the latter sung in French and bringing to mind the early Stitches. On the B-side, "I Wanna Destroy You" eases back the speed a tad and snarls in a classic Pistols style. It also kind of reminds me of "Cherry Bomb" by The Runaways - which can only be a good thing!
HAND NUMNERED OUT OF 500 AND LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE ON CLEAR WAX!!!

Four Slicks/Pneumonias- Split 7”
-Well if yer keepin up on the Four Slicks discography, this ones the toughest single to get out of the lot. Killer Split here. You know the Pneumonias from their 1st 7" on High School Reject Rec. They play stuff like the Kids meet the Spider Babies, while the Four Slicks bash out two more hot rod Garage punk gems. Both bands from France and the Four Slicks contain ex-Rip Offs' Jon Von on guitar! These two bands are perfect together. Two French Punk/RnR Kings on one lil slab!! LIMTED TO 500 COPIES IN A THICK A**S FULL COLOR 7” JACKETS. Wow, really nice packaging on this one!!!

SLICK RECORDS (France)
Four Slicks- S/T CD
-For those not in the know, the Four Slicks is Jon Von from the Rip Offs new band. Now living in Paris, France, he's gotten together with a few like minded rockers from other notable french bands like the No Talents, Creteens and Les Dragueurs to form the Four Slicks. This 17 song disc compiles all the songs from their first 3 7" and the split single with the Pneumonias. The Four Slicks, like the Rip Offs, play things simple, fun and catchy. A number of the tunes show a definitive nod towards the Devil Dogs and Lazy Cowgirls. Keep an eye out for them on their upcoming US tour in August/Septmeber. Nice full packaging that includes a beefy 12 page booklet.

LITTLE PINK MEDECINE (France)
Flying Over- Rockin Frenchies CD
-Debut album here from this new band from La Rochelle, France. Self released on their now aborted label, Little Pink Medecine, it’s a nice lil diamond in the rough. This is one of, the best straight trashy rock'n'roll records I've heard by a French band since the TV KIllers last album. Every song has a trademark itchy guitar sound that totally got under my skin. I really loathe to compare them to other bands, they sound like the good parts of the 60's and 70's mixed together in a scuzzy, fuzzy reverb drenched bucket. The production is right on and they play fast without wrecking the melody. This is definately my new favorite record! Anyone interested in "punk" rock (whatever the fu**k that means anymore) should definitely check this one out. Viva les Frogs! 13 solid tunes and an Infections cover!

NEAT NEAT NEAT RECORDS (USA)
DIGITAL LEATHER- 'Lousy Manipulator' 7"
-Taking cues from late '70s/early '80s synth punk pioneers like the Screamers, Nervous Gender, and The Units, this Arizona based one-man band relies on just keyboards, drum machines and vocals to set the scene of gloomy electronic desert landscapes and gay nightclub discotheques. This is the life of SEAN FOREE, who created this three song masterpiece in his one-bedroom apartment in Tempe, Arizona. Another winner from this criminally underated band. THIS 7" WAS LIMITED TO 500 HAND NUMBRED COPIES!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!! THE COPY YOU WILL RECIEVE IS ON PINK WAX!!!!

Static Static- Witchmouth 7”
-Ok Static Static fans, this ones for you. Those not it the know, Static Static are one of the better current new wavey garage bands made up of ex members of the Drags and the Red Aunts. I don’t know the whole story with this single, but I do know that this record is way rare. From my understanding, something happened in the mastering stage of this single. And apparently the test pressings were approved with the label owner not noticing the difference. So the single was released according to the sounds on the original test pressings. Well apparently the minor difference didn't agree with the band and they told the label to destroy all the remaining copies that they had. So these are pretty rare and hard to find. The original pressing was for 400 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL before the label destroyed their remaining copies. THIS SINGLE IS LONG DUE TO LABEL DESTROYED ALL REMAING COPIES. I GOT A HAND FULL BEFORE THEY WERE DESTROYED!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

TORNDAO RIDE RECORDS (Italy)
The Chuckies- S/T lp
-The CHUCKIES is a lovley little sidestep by Chuck Ransom, Chuck Daniels, Chuck Tonic & Chuck The Ripper all from the Chuck Norris Experiment. Having re-arranged some classic CNE songs and writing new ones exclusively for The Chuckies, the outcome is a energetic Rockabilly Country brawl stripped down to the basics, fueled up with enough energy to get your feet stomping and to get that ass a shaking! This debut album was recorded and released while writing a new record for THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT. The Chuckies want to rock your stage acoustically and give you a different view of their CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT songs but also a taste of things yet to come! LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Black Knots- Hellbent To Kick It Out LP
-At the root, the Black Knots walk the line of AC/DC, Turbonegro, the Hellacopters and Zeke. 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, AC/DC song writing and with the driving force of Motorhead.

Walter Lure- Live In Berlin LP/CD
-Ok THUNDERS/HEARTBREAKERS fans, this ones for you!! Waldos mainman and long-time guitarist for Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, has released his first new album in years. (I think the last Waldos disc was 1995's Rent Party CD). Walter has been a long-time figure on the NY punk scene, having played with the original Heartbreakers, added his classic guitar sound to a number of Ramones discs and he also sang the final song (along with CJ Ramone) at the last night of the original incarnation of The Continental. This new album, Live In Berlin, was recorded in April '07 and includes 14 tracks. Get it while you can, as this CD was LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Cusack- Kingdom Come 7”
-New band from Italy containg members of the SUINAGE and GO DOWN MOSES. The single contains 2 songs of low down and dirty riff heavy rock n roll that at times reminds me a bit of the Hot Snakes. Get it while you can as, this one was LIMITED TO ONLY 200 COPIES AND WE ONLY GOT A FEW!!

Darlington/Teenage Bubblegums- Split 7”
-Darlington and the Teenage Bubblegums prove that the the Pop in POP PUNK is still alive. Each band brings 2 tracks that are dripping with sentiment and gushy lovey-dovey stuff that dreams are made of. If you like your love songs crooned and your harmonies bouncy this is the record for you. 7” LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!

Demons- My Bleeding Heart 7”
-Despite that they have done three full length albums and that Hellacopters has recorded one of their songs (Electrocute), Demons have not quite managed to break through on their home turf of Sweden. Maybe that will change now as the band is opening up on The Hellacopters farewell tour and has this new one totally rips from start to finis. Demons should have a chance to claim the throne when Nicke, Strings and company throw in the towel for good. Very limited single here made specifally for the Demons Euro tour with the Hellacopters. 7” LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!

Hamburg Ramones- Merry Christmas 7”
-Very LIMITED single here from the Hamburg Ramones with two Christmas themes Ramones-ey rockers. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN, AS THIS BAD BOY WAS LIMITED TO ONLY 200 COPIES!

Hamburg Ramones- Long Black Hair LP
-Short, fast and melodic songs with great hooklines that will help to keep the spirit of the four legends from NYC alive! "Long Black Hair" kicks ass as much as anything the Ramones ever did and standout tracks will include the smash hits "Rock'n'Roller Coaster", "Long Black Hair", "Surfpunk's Back In Town" as well as Ham Ram's fastest song to date, "Bomber In Your Heart", dedicated to Lemmy.

Cowboy Prostitutes- Swingin’ At The Fences CD
-Ahhh … another sleazy punk/glam band with a kick ass name to boot. Cowboy Prostitutes is the booze-orgy of band names. The band is from Sweden, and are trying to single handedly bring the kind of KISS/Thunders/Hanoi Rocks amalgam of Rock back to the forefront of the industry. And everyone who likes great Rock ‘n’ Roll is better off for it. Swingin’ From the Fences isn’t anything new, but it’s unique enough to stand apart from many of the bands playing this type of music. It’s also heavier than most bands in this genre kinda like if the Hellacopters played alot more stripped down raw and mean.

The LustKillers- Black Sugar Sessions LP
-The LustKillers check in with an all star line including BRIAN JAMES (THE DAMNED), DAVE TRAGUNNA (SHAM 69) and DAM BACVARE (LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH). The Black Sugar Sessions contains 8 tracks that embody the spirit and energy of the other bands they play in with a noticable rock n roll fixaction. Stiv Bators, Hanoi Rocks, Generation X, the Plasmatics and Smack are some of the influences that can be heard on this LP. The LustKillers get together a few times a year to play shows when the band members are in the same area and not on tour with their other bands. And if this LP is any indicator of their live persona, they’re probably a blast live. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Die Tonight/Smash It Up- Split 7"
-Smash It Up play all school Punk Rock...simple, direct and not about anything else than playing good beer drinking punk tunes. Musically they check in with 2 solid street punk tunes chanelling bands like Blitz and Cocksparrer with the energy of the Bruisers. Pretty stellar studio recording on their side. Die Tonight check in with two of their own opting for the more glammy, sleazy rock n roll approach. They sound like American Heartbreak with a bit more bite. Groovy rockin melodies with some sick and careening guitar riffs to back up the song writing. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

The Good Ol' Boys-PIZZA SHAPED PICTURE DISC 10"
-Remember the first time you heard a rock band that was so exciting, you just had to share their music with everyone you knew? Whether it was THE ROLLING STONES, RAMONES or GUNS N’ ROSES makes no difference- it became your mission to blast those righteous sounds upon unsuspecting ears. Well, prepare to relive that experience with the The Good Ol’ Boys. A raw tattoo that rocks sonically with brazen heart and voluminous punch. 10” LIMITED TO 300 PICTURE DISCS. AND DAMN DOES THE PIZZA LOOK TASTY!!!

Dennis Most- Indiana Roadkillarama LP
-You probably know Dennis from is Full length reissue on Rave Up Records. Damn this guy started playing shows a year before I was born. So it seems he doesn’t need any introduction. But I have never heard of him and maybe I’m not the only one, so here is short story about his career. Dennis Most is a singer, songwriter, producer and arranger. His love for rock 'n' roll started in his hometown of Fairmount, Indiana where he started playing in his first band called PUNK in 1969 before starting Dennis Most And The Instigators. Since that time his music developed into psychedelic punk rock, glam and garage rock all of which you can hear on the eleven songs on this album which is Dennis’ newest material to date. Really well arranged rock n roll from this first waver! Get em while you can as this is LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Dennis Most- I'm Not Dead Yet LP
-Indiana’s Dennis Most has been cranking out his brand of hard rocking garagey punk metal since 1972. However, despite all the years under his belt, he hasn’t really released much up til now. Just four singles, a 2 vinyl LPs, two CDs, and a few compilation tracks here and there. Most’s 1979 single “Excuse My Spunk”, recently introduced to a new generation of fans via its appearance on a 1998 ‘Killed By Death’ compilation LP, is probably his main claim to fame. But as the material on these two recently issued discs shows, there’s more to Dennis Most than one song. It definitely has that feel of early punk, before the rule book became written in stone. Most’s vocals at times remind me David Thomas, Roky Erikson and Richard Hell. This LP is a compilation of old Generous Maria- Electricism LP
--For my money , Sweden’s Generous Maria are the finest band to emerge from the lumbering “Stoner rock” scene. And that’s not just because they dress better than the vast majority of the overweight, corduroys-wearing dope rockers, although it certainly helps. No, GM’s shake appeal is that their riffs are bigger, their songs are slinkier and sleazier, and that they write about what they know (lying to chicks, booze, dope) instead of what they think they know, like most of their stoner metal brethren (spaceship gobbledygook). Oh, and then there’s Goran Florstram’s groovy vox bubbling over the top like some narcotic sugar frosting. It’s some seriously heavy shit, brother. “Electricism” is Generous Maria’s second album, coming not so hot-on-the-heels of their blinding 2002 debut full-length, “Command of the New Rock”, and it contains all of their signature sounds, plus a dollop of heavy glam and a fresh, crisp production that yanks ‘em right out of the mud and hurls them right to the top of the Rock Mountain. “It’s Called Love” is the snakiest tune on deck, but all of ‘em will bite you, if you get close enough. And you certainly will. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Generous Maria Tthe Command Of The New Rock LP
-After the split CD with Skua the Swedish GENEROUS MARIA have changed the label, but not only that. I hadn't expected such a 70's sounding album after their first more metallic tracks on the split. Ok, the opener is closer to the older material, but the production has a greater live feeling compared with the older material. They have also taken influences from Monster Magnet, especially "All Units are Out" could be on "Superjudge" or "Dopes to Infinity" or "A Bed at the Edge of the Universe" is very close to to mid-90's Magnet. But the skillful vocals of Göran Flörstrom are saving GENEROUS MARIA before they are becoming an entertaining copy band. "Anchorage & Quito" is a very groovy fuzzy song and this song could be for all the Kyuss fans. One my faves is the relaxed and moody Doors-like "Soulflight" with additional instruments like an organ or the instrumental "Ashram of the Absolute". There's a huge 60's influence in both tracks, very psychedelic and smooth.

After the short journey into this musical period, the band switches over to the 90's with "All Good Things" and presents us their own version of Soundgarden combined with a hint of Bad Brains. "Dumdum Bullet" is an energetic groovy track, more like the old songs while "Firebug" sounds like a 70's heavy rocker. The album closes with the nearly ten minutes long "Bridge Out of Time" a slow and heavy rolling rocker with a long guitar-solo. I don't know, why they have titled the album "Command of the New Rock", because here's nothing new but GENEROUS MARIA are performing the song in a very charming and appealing way and they are fronted by a talented vocalist. If you're looking for an entertaining Hard rock album with a nice Malleus cover (remember the movie "2001"!), than check this one out. Chapters have been torn from the book of Rock and swallowed whole on this one. LP INCLUDES A HUGE POSTER AND IS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Thee Boozers/Titbits- Brotherhood 10"
-Two punk rock bands from deep in the heart of Bologna!!!THEE BOOZERS play a savage garage punk similar to the Rip Offs meets Teengenerate. The bass player is an ex member of Rappresagli. THE TITBITS play punk rock similar to the Dead Boys, ,Ramones and Angry Samoans...enjoy with the party. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- The Return Of Rock N Roll LP
-Well, "The Return..." sure came quick and I ain't talkin' 'bout no Goddamn Bathory album! No, Sweden's majestic CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT has ridden back into town, snarling & proud astride their iron horse of riffs that would make everyone from Angus Young to Dirty Power to Wayne Kramer not only nod in agreement but say, in a suitable drawl, "I believe we've got company." Some short 6 or 7 months down the line from their already etched-in-stone 2007 Top 10 entry "And The Rest Will Follow," they've gone it one better with this sonic visit to the gin mill at the center of the town called Rock N Roll. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WITH FULL COLOR COVER AND FULL COLOR PRINTED INNER SLEEVE. Awesome packaging!

V/A- CONVERONES (The RAMONES tribute) LP
-As Marky Ramones states on the back of the LP, “this is one good reason why RAMONES mania is and always will be alive, because of bands like this. Your Friend...Marky Ramone”. Very limited RAMONES tribute LP with mostly Euro band. Very LIMITED TRIBUTE LP in and edition size of ONLY 300 COPIES.

LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- Cold Blood 7"
-It's obvious from songs like Cold Blood that these guys are all about a booze-soaked collision of punk and 70s influenced glammy hard rock n roll. Just don't expect any warmed-over POISON covers from this band. Their songwriting is top-notch, influenced by classic fare like THE NEW YORK DOLLS, THIN LIZZY, and MOTORHEAD all push through a caucoufonous riff heavy filter of fuck yeah. LIMITED TO 450 COPIES!!!!!

COWBOY PROSTITUTES- Pirate Town 7"
-The band is from Sweden, and it’s not surprising. That country is trying to single handedly bring the kind of KISS/Motley Crue/Hanoi Rocks amalgam of Rock back to the forefront of the industry, and everyone who likes great Rock ‘n’ Roll is better off for it. Unlike most bands of this ilk, they have stronger guitar leads and are a bit more metal overall, where the vocals are pure punk styled, basically yelling harshly on key. Swingin’ From the Fences Rock N Roll isn’t anything new, but it’s unique enough to stand apart from many of the bands playing this type of music. It’s also heavier than most bands in this genre. Very promising debut single here. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON RED VINYL. THIS SINGLE WON’T BE REPRESSED!!

V8 WANKERS/PETER PAN SPEEDROCK- Split 7"
-Finally two of Europes current longest great highspeed rock'n'roll bands together on one Split. The V8WANKERS and PETER PAN SPEEDROCK dish out two new ones each. STRICTLY LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON ACID YELLOW WAX!! DO THEY GLOW IN THE DARK.......HMMM???

THE HIGHSCHOOL LOCKERS- Never Ending Party LP/CD
-Highschool lockers write catchy,High- energy powerpop songs,performed with a near perfect blend of control and abandon. Their music would have been right at home in late 1970's NYC but thankfully it's being created for the here and now today. The world needs bands like the Highschool Lockers,to remind us what Rock and Roll is all about. A must for the punk or power pop fan into stuff like the Briefs, Cute Lepers, Exploding Hearts or Greatest Hits. THE LP IS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON BRIGHT BUBBLEGUM PINK WAX!! First come first serve on this one. They will sell fast.

V8 WANKERS- Hell On Wheels PICTURE DISC LP
-What’s left to say about Germany’s fully tattooed showroom-antisocials that’s not yet known to everyone already? For 7 years these “beer-for-breakfast” rockers are synonymous with uncompromising High Speed Rock’n’Roll that still has yet to me matched by any other German rock n roll band. Hard, loud and unmistakable - just V8 Wankers! PICTURE DISC LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- And The Rest Will Follow LP
-Back in the early 70s, bands like THE ALICE COOPER GROUP and GRAND FUNK would release album after album, sometimes even two releases in a single year bolstered by exhaustive touring and promotion. Such a work ethic is almost unheard of in today's world of sparse release schedules and milking live DVDs for three years. Well, Sweden's self-proclaimed rock gods THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT are obviously fans of old-school methods, delivering two stellar discs in 2007, "And the Rest Will Follow" and the appropriately titled "The Return of Rock 'n Roll". For those that were saddened by THE HELLACOPTERS recent announcement of their shop-closing, chin up. THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT are ready to pick up the gauntlet with their signature blend of hard-panned AC/DC cum MC5 riffage, dueling guitar harmonies, and bludgeoning punk-inspired choruses. This band is so powerful and ambitious, it's just a little scary. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WITH FULL COLOR COVER AND FULL COLOR PRINTED INNER SLEEVE. Awesome packaging!

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN- Dead And Back LP
-Here it is....the best, most exciting punk album to come out of New York in over a decade. That's no small feat, consider how many albums have been made in that time! But 'Dead And Back' is the real McCoy. Song after song rips by with the requisite drive, energy, attitude, and smacking chops. This is punk built on guitar riffs -- mean, angry, and measured -- paired with the clean, dense production often favored by the Australians. Stellar album here from this long standing New Yaaawk powerhouse. Get it while you can EF fans, becasue this sucker came out on a small label out of Italy and was LIMITED TO ONLY 500 COPIES!!!

NINE POUND HAMMER/THE KELVINS- Singing With The Mule 7”
-The Kelvins play a powerful punk 'n' roll with the classic backline: two guitars, bass and drums. Out of the amps pummels you with a nice mix of punk (Ramones, Devil Dogs, Supersuckers), rock 'n' roll and country music (Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Hank Williams). Backing them are the masters of Cowpunk Nine Pound Hammer. The hammer crank out two new ones on this split including a cover of I’m On Fire by Jerry Lewis. Get it while you can, as this beast was LIMITED TO ONLY 666 COPIES AND EVEN COMES WITH A NINE POUND HAMMER / KELVINS STICKER!!!!

BAD MACHINE- Surfin In The City LP/CD
-Some nasty rock n roll with a Motorhead feel to it musicwise. This is down and nasty rock n roll with a raw edge to it. This isn't none of that poser rock from the 80's or any of that new rock crap on the radio. This is go for the throat ballsy rock that your mother hated. Mix Motorhead meeting old Aerosmith and just add a nasty, gritty attitude and you might find this band. Great riffs and just a nice presentation overall. This band rocks. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!! LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE.

RICH BITCH (USA)
The Humans- Pop 7”
-Debut single here from this new Reno band and guaranteed to get you good-timed out in under 9 minutes flat. Put this thing on in the morning and kickstart your day. Don't do this while brushing your teeth, or you could end up in court like Judas Priest via a tooth brush impaling rock fatality to the brain, son! Pooling together a vast array of riffs summoned from the rock gods, the Humans radar is tuned into the hey day fo garage rock. New Bomb Turks, Teengenerate, Devils Dogs and Radio Reelers fans will dig. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Table Fruit- S/T 7”
-Originally called Bobby Nobbit and the Table Fruit, the band has recently shortened the band name to just Table Fruit. Debut single here from this new San Fran band creating some pretty fucked up, outsider sounds. Each track is pretty disturbing in it’s own right. Low brow recording quality, unrestrained beauty, and unhinged intensity held together with a loose thread of late night booze filled recording sessions. The sound quality & playing are both a grimy, distorted mess, which suits the band just fine. Fans of stuff like Flipper, The Dicks, the Pagans or newish bands like the Carbonas or Daily Void will dig. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES WITH A PRETTY BIZZARO LOOKING COVER!!

Discreet Doll Band- Talkin In My Sleep 7"
-What the fuck is this fucking thing????? There's no info at all enclosed and no dates to be found....!!!!!! If this is a pirate of an old rare as shit single then I ain't hip to 'em even though I am old!!!!!!!! If this is
new stuff then I still ain't hip to 'em 'till now, and I gotta say this record is just fucked up enough for me to dig!!!!!!! It's got the poor man's production.....badly played, shitty plain jane looking cover art....nice....!!!!! More or less sounds like it was farted out of some garage in 1976 and consisted of a diet of DOLLS, SIMPLY SAUCER, BERLIN BRATS, JONES, CRIME, THUNDERTRAIN, AGENT ORANGE, BPEOPLE, and GIZMOS!!!!! Looking forward to hearing more from these guys. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

City Scum- S/T 7”
-Five-tune slab of guitar-driven garage rock by some chaps whose cowboy hats are integral to their cross-dressing escapades… at least that’s what the southern swagger tells me. A real demented country-twang that’s pretty cool. They sound a hell of a lot like Brutal Knights if the BK were not awkwardly sodomized by that hardcore rhythm section of theirs. Or, hell, a (deeper) southern-fried Reatards minus the rambunctiousness. Catchy riffage (Side A especially – “Dead Man” is the winner here) and crooning attitude-laden vocals. A pleasant sooprise. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Pophorror- Child Of Modern Times 7”
-This is a pretty intriguing cannonball into new wave’s interplay in post punk, all executed with an intentionally juvenile (proto-monkeys-with-six-strings) slant whilst retaining some songwriting competency. These silly tunes sound the way Captain Beefheart, the Screamin’ Mee-Mees and Sockeye’s spawn would look, but with all of their recessive traits retained, somehow. Now that’s an ugly little kid, isn’t it? Luckily we only get to hear him, and he sounds pretty dang good to these ears. ONE SIDED 7” IS LIMITED TO 600 COPIES!!!

Cat Party- Jigsaw Thoughts 7”
-This reminds me of the NERVES but somehow more macho. It has that kind of early LA power pop vibe running through it. The guitar's a bit more interested by weaving instead of blasting, the lyrics can be decoded on the first couple of listens, and the whole enterprise is atmospheric in a low-cloud, high brow way, but insanely catchy and well constructed. Fans of the NERVES, PLIMSOULS, SHOES, GUN CLUB or NICK CAVE will dig. LIMTITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Remo Voor- Toilet Love 7”
-Re-Release of the classic Toilet Love singles that sells for about $100 a pop on e bay theyse days!!! The single includes a new LOUDER version of Tolet love and Frog Grammar, as the original pressing was noticabely quiet. Remo Voor were a german based punk band from 1979 and released this groundbreaking debut 7" on Strawberry Records back in the day. "Toilet Love" and "Frogrammer" are both booted on one of the Killed By Death’s and one of the songs is also on Bloodstains across Germany. CLOCKCLEANER made a cunning cover-version of Remo Voor's Froggrammar. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Le Face- S/T 7”: Import Price
Awesome 2nd single from this new So. Cal. punk band. Le Face continue to amaze with this new single. Their debut was a killer and they're back with 3 new punk rock rippers. If you like bands like the Urinals, DC Snipers, Le Shok and the Reatards, check this one out. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND AWESOME!!! THIS 7” IS NOW OUT OF PRINT!! WE GOT THE LAST COPIES!!!

SCAREY RECORDS (Italy)
BULEMICS- 'Burn Baby Burn' 7"
-I spit on your face punk rock from these veran rockers from Texas. First new recordings in years and possibly their best material yet. 4 tracks of angry, self destructive, crude & dangerous punk rock. 3 originals and a seering Crue cover that only the Bulemics could pull off. This is punk rock that would rather kick you in the face than shake your hand! For fans of: The Dwarves, Germs, Black Flag, Poison Idea, Dead Boys, Circle Jerks, 13Th Victim, Dayglo Abortions, Antiseen, Zeke and GG Allin. THIS SINGLE WAS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES, SO GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!

Blade Of The Ripper- Taste The Blade CD
-Blade Of The Ripper return from the backwoods of Kentucky with their raging sophomore album "Taste The Blade". A masterpiece of splatter thrash rock'n'roll led by the truly unhinged Adam Neal(former member of Nashville Pussy,Hookers and Brothers Of Conquest). These guys are satanic ,sleazy and violent just the way you like it. 10 horrifying hymns of knife killers, dead girls ,drugs and blood spewing sacrifices. These throwback freaks embody the true spirit of 80's metallic punk. Music to kill to and to kill for! For fans of Venom, Warfare, The Accused and Antiseen!

Bible Of The Dead/Blade Of The Ripper- Split 7”
-Bible Of The Devil play the best Heavy Rock on earth with hints of NWOBHM abound. Their song "Hot Deth" is more in the vein of stuff from their seminal albums "Tight Empire" and "Brutality Majesty Eternity". Blade Of The Ripper will knock you down with their new song called "Cast Me In The Fire" a fast and evil Thrash Punk attack that remind us of Adam's earlier project The Hookers; but more powerful, dark and evil! For fans of : old Maiden, old Metallica, Slayer, Death Angel, Venom etc. THIS ONE WAS LIMITED TO ONLY 500 COPIES!!!

Rupture/Nerds- Split CD
-RUPTURE have been one of the most prolific hardcore punk bands that Australia had to offer in the past decade. Dedicated, crazy and out of control like a bunch of amphetamine hooked kangaroos, they released numerous Cds, Lps and single releases before their singer Gus Chamber died 5 years ago. Since then, the beast have been put to rest… until Scarey Records came to wake them up. So here are 15 Rupture songs that had been recorded before Gus passed away and were missing the vocal tracks. Now the songs have been dug up and put on reel again, with substantial vocal contribution from The Boss of Italy’s The Nerds Rock Inferno, and Jeff Clayton from ANTiSEEN. Aggressive, raw and mean Rock N Roll, the way Gus would have wanted them!! Songs about booze, rock, chicks, dope… and apes, of course. To close it all off you get 6 new tracks from The Nerds Rock Inferno, Italy’s purveyors of fast, angry Rock n Roll in the vein of ANTiSEEN, Brodays Militia and Rancid Vat. A must for any past or present Rupture fan and another atomic bomb from Scarey Records, ready to detonate your stereo!!

FDH RECORDS (USA)

Manikins- I Want My Baby Dead 7"
-On this new single, the four Swedes definitely go sweeter and wear their hearts on their sleeves in a perfect blend of Punkrock and Power-Pop that still carries the typical MANIKINS guitars but gained a mouthful of smoothness and feeling. "I Want My Baby Dead" is the strongest song on "Crocodiles". The B side, "Dont Look Back at Me" is a super hit out-take from the Crocodiles sessions. Don't know why it's an out-takes, maybe just for this! Great production all around. Fans of the Marked Men, Devil Dogs, Teengenerate and Teenage Head will dig. THIS 7" WAS LIMITED TO 400 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL AND IS ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!

Digital Leather- Power Surge 7"
- Taking cues from late '70s/early '80s synth punk pioneers as the Screamers, Nervous Gender, and The Units, this Arizona based one-man band rely on just keyboards, drum machines and vocals to set the scene of gloomy electronic desert landscapes and gay nightclub discotheques. This is the life of SEAN FOREE, who created this two song masterpiece in his one-bedroom apartment in Tempe, Arizona. Another winner from this criminally underated band. THIS 7" WAS LIMITED TO 400 COPIES ON BLACK AND IS ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!!

Doctor Scientist/Octagon Control- Split 7”
-One million years ago, a doctor and a scientist had sex. Nine months later they gave birth to an ordinary baby. But this was no ordinary baby. Named "doctor scientist", this child was destined to one day change pop music forever. That day was yesterday. Doctor Scientist brings an extremely energetic synth sound with wailing and effected vocals from Philly. I really like the vocal style, serious, monotonous, and multi-layered robotic harmonies in the vein of BIS and simple melodies and rythyms that remind me alot of Baltimore's ABIKU. Backing them are Octoagon Control from Bellingham, WA who dish out two lethal mind fucks of serisously wacked out snyth layered damamge. People into stuff like Factums, Blank Dogs, Nice Face or Pink Reason will dig. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Sudden Walks - Haulin ass 7"
-Here they are Connecticut's young perturbators SUDDEN WALKS with their second EP ''Haulin' ass Gettin' paid'', a real live wire with four new tracks that exude the same sick atmosphere as early REATARDS recordings Just listen to the thrown-up teenage hymn ''You're so blank'' and you know what we mean. Also if you find pleasure in the distorted musical orgies of the RETAINERS, the FATALS or LIVE FAST DIE you just won't manage to resist songs like ''Do you feel so dead'' and ''Please don't go''. In the slower ''She keeps me depraved'' you can even hear the desperate call of the COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS before the song finally comes to a fast and wrecking end. You know, these four youngsters love to destroy the peace in their neighbourhood just a bit too much to keep it slow! So haul your ass out of your easy chair and get this one! LIMITED TO 350 COPIES!!!

Night Terrors - Cocktail CD
-Back in 2003 from the ashes of the "Sex Machines" a new band was formed. This was the debut album from the band that is now known as "Casket Architects". A bit less metal and synth and more punk then their current huge sound made up of ex members of the Mistreaters.

V/A - True Horror (4 way split) LP
-The very first FDH Records complitation, and what a doosy it is. You get 4 bands (MURDERSHIFT, TROUBLE BOUND, THE EMERGENCY, THE ANTI-SOCIALS) from the OCNY area putting their own spit on punk rock. File under GERMS, CHILD MOLESTERS. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERD COPIES WITH HOME MADE LP JACKETS!!

Destruction Unit/Black Sunday- 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. Backing Black Sunday are Ryan Wong of the Wongs, Tokyo Electron and Digital Leathers other project, Destruction Unit. These are the first Destruction Unit recordings in 4 years. The songs were written and recorded by Ryan and Shawn Foree of Digital Leather. Some will hate it, some will love it. It is a lot different than the old Unit. Less aggresive and more Kraut rock oriented. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES! GET EM WHILE YOU CAN. THESE HAVE ALREADY SOLD OUT THROUGH THE LABEL!!

Terror Visions - World of Shit CD
-The new harsh electro album from Jay Reatard (Lost Sounds, Angry Angles, TheReatards, The Final Solutions, Bad Times, a million other things all equally incredible). This album is disgustingly good and it's guaranteed to be the feel-bad sleeper of the summer! LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!!

Blowtops- Boneshakers 7”
-The Blowtops, another band hailing from the seamy underbelly of America’s garage rock emporium, Buffalo, NY. Over the years the Blowtops have been releasing single after single, album after album of creepy, lowdown, vile driven horror rock. They’ve begun to understand that change in music is inevitable and decided to embrace the chaos that is change! They dropped their bassist, tossed out a guitar, and added keyboards to their sound. This is their newest single and totlally rules. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Women- S/T 7”
-Debut 6 song EP gem from Philly's own "Women". A breed of punk that draws from Early UK punk/ Rip off records style garage/ early hardcore/ and hints of metal. Dont miss this one it's LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND THE FIRST 160 COME WITH SILKSCREENED COVERS.

Digital Leather- Blow Machine LP
-The anticipated new album from DIGITAL LEATHER. "Blow Machine, 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. A lot of people are panning the cover art on this one because of the overly simple look. Since the album is about all things blow and drug related the band wanted to make a very overly simple cover so it looks like someone cranked it out in a few minutes high on sumthin. And well, I'd say they achieved their “goal” there! LP NOW OUT OF PRINT!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!

The Kidnappers- Ransom Notes And Telephone Calls LP
-“I dare anyone to make a better record this year.Seriously, this LP is the embodiment of what makes rock & roll great. It's catchy, it's trashy, it's fun and it's so dang good that I am jealous. THE KIDNAPPERS are the all-grown-up incarnation of Germany's HIGHSCHOOL ROCKERS. They aren't as lofi as the HS ROCKERS and have incorporated the MURDER CITY DEVILS' boom-swagger brand of rock and roll to their Rip Off Records sound. They even throw in a LOLI &THE CHONES cover that exceeds my expectations. This band can do no wrong in my book.This band could be one of my all-time favorites!!-MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL

COWABUNGA RECORDS (USA)
The Catburglars - You May be Dumb but I Don't Care 7”
-The 2nd EP continues from where the last one left off, to describe it we'll use the example of the sound change from the 1st Ramones LP to the 2nd one which was a loud yet lo fi recording to a more cleaner recording but still not top notch which to one not in the know was the ST LP to Leave Home. So this recording is more clear and loud and a bit better recorded but its played very trashy so all is not lost. Musically it's still the same but a little more Dictators and '77 style UK influence as well but still has the same catchy tunes and Black Flag riffs and that's not a bad thing either. Its 5 originals rounded out with a good Zeros cover! Be stoked for their LP coming this year on Criminal IQ!

Thee Cannibals - Suburban Sex 7”
-A favorite of ours and it's a cool record if you love Garage punk as well as early 80's Southern Cali punk. This band consists of members of Harry Balzagna and the Teenie Weenies, Walking Wreck, and Street Trash- but the only band they carry any influence from is Walking Wreck. Somewhere in the sound it's like older Black Flag and the Middle Class 7" meets garage rock blended with some surf too! The recording is very lo fi, which adds to the feel of it. One of the label's best and recommended completely if you like SoCal punk of lore done to perfection.

V/A Welcome to the Golden State 7”
-FINALLY after delays on all ends this record sees the light of day! ALL EXCLUSIVE tunes to the comp and the band lineup is pretty sweet if we may say so ourselves-Video Disease, the Timebombs, Broken Needle, Ecoli (3 SONGS!), Critical Picnic, Crawlspace, Funeral Shock, Social Sickness and the Valoids! A great comp of all California bands and the 1st of a 3 part series we're planning on in some way, shape or form. We destroyed the plates when we got them back, so this is definately a one time pressing of 500!!!

Funeral Shock - Paint Thinner 7”
-Excellent new EP from the Bay Area's Funeral Shock. Same lineup as the 'III' EP and they continue down a similar path like on that one. Its got the same mean and negative lyrics you'd come to expect from these boys as always and musically its heavily influenced by Black Flag, Bad Posture, Fang and other Bay Area hardcore bands of the past. 3 great punk songs and its opened by a very 'Slip It In'-ish instrumental intro and ends with a Fang like tune which is awesome. This is definately more 'straight forward' than 'III' was, if that means something to ya. They both rip either way.

The Timebombs - Nuke Everything 7”
-The Timebombs play sick as hell fast hardcore from Brea CA and they take the sound and slight melodies of old So Cal hardcore punk like RKL and blend that with the best elements of southern thrash hardcore bands of 83' like Koro and Hated Youth. We just love this band, check out the other record the 'Kill Music' EP too! Great single and check out their new LP as well.

Rhythm Syndrom - Cobwebs from the Empty Skull 7”
-Great debut EP from the best punk band from Valencia since Infest. These guys play a rather unique brand of hardcore punk and really stress the punk factor on this. I don't think they can be pegholed, but Sons Of Ishmael, Ribsy, Clitboys do come to mind. Rhythm Syndrom contains former members of the Valoids and sound nothing like them. We got copies on the LIMIITED PURPLE WAX!!

Critical Picnic - They Had It Coming 7”
-Here it is the 2nd and last Critical Picnic EP from these young guys from So Cal who played a very mean spirited yet funny brand of hardcore punk. Live they were a treat and I mean that as a compliment. Always entertaining and funny guys. Musically they make reminders of Vile, F, Fartz and other loud and sloppy hardcore punk bands. This EP was recorded a lot better than the 1st one but it remains raw and trashy still which was part of the 'charm' of the band while they existed. Come w black and white covers that were hand made, some having glued pocket covers some regular foldover and then some of them were colored in and some weren't, its just random. Some PURPLE/GRAY wax w 'special' alternate covers are still around, maybe 5? Either way, the whole thing was limited to 500.

Vile Nation - No Exit 7”
-EXCELLENT record! Debut EP from Memphis' TN own Vile Nation. Very mean and ugly fast thrash hardcore with a heavy dose of punk. One can't listen to this and not hear the 1st 7" era of D.R.I and Negative FX and bands of that same time frame and caliber being channeled here. Chris just spews the words out mean and fast and the band keeps up. The guitar player from Life Trap also plays in this band, but honestly DON'T buy it for that reason, this band kicks a ton of ass without that bit of know how. Words can't describe how utterly amazing this record is, its just that good!

The Runnamucks - Untouchable 7”
-Brand new record from these dirty Florida boys and their potent brand of rock n' roll dosed punk rock.This version of Untouchable is a different one from the LP version but not too different. The B side is a great cover of Roky Erickson's White Faces. Andrei B (my fave artist) who is known for his art all over the wide spectrum of hardcore from bands like Voetsek and Municipal Waste to Nightstick Justice, Second Opinion and his own band Deadfall had done the artwork for this record. 7” WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND IS ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!

BIG NECK RECORDS (USA)
Baseball Furies- Throw Them To The Lions LP/CD
-Just like thee Baseball Furies, these Furies are like a gang of vigilantes. They lure you in. In this case with a catchy bass line or drum beat, that before you know it, you've been thrown from one concrete wall to another.

Chrome Spiders- Black Butterfly 7”
-The Chrome Spiders are the new band fronted by Michigan's most beloved TomJackson Potter, better known as Tom Potter from the Dirtbombs, Bantam Rooster, Detroit City Council, and the Seger Liberation Army. The Chrome Spiders have been kicking out it's own brand of cathartic fucked up rock-n-roll for some time now. Thankfully for us, Mr. Jim Diamond has once again knocked Potter and company offa their barstools and into his Ghetto Recorders Studio. The result is a fuck all yall 2 song rager done Chrome Spiders style. Dirty fuzzy blues riff, throw on their side and spit back out with Potters biting, raspy snarl. This is what rock n roll is all about. 7” LIMITED TO 500!!

Sworn Liars- Vile Device LP/CD
-It seems the world of rock n roll will never be rid of the Moorat Fingers. And thankfully for us! Right after disbanding many of the members formed the Shakin’ Nasties, whom quickly disolved; only to form the ultimate in German punk rock. The Sworn Liars. Back are the gravelly vocals, creepy lyrics, scary guitar licks, and deeper thunderous drums. The Sworn Liars keep rattlin'-my-brain and ravagin' my soul with their seedy brand of raunchy rock'n'roll. If yer partial to mackin' down on the likes of Live Fast Die, Henry Fiat's Open Sore, or the Dwarves you'll wanna pick-up on this one like now! LP Comes with free digital download card!!

Radio Beats- Ready To Shake LP
-Here it is folks, the one everyone has been waiting for! The Radio Beats full length. 12 tracks of shake your ass, swing your hips, punk rock. The Radio Beats first release is imbued with catchy Devil Dogs riffs, guitar speed of the Dwarves, and it is actually louder than Iggy Pop’s “Raw Power”. Listen to this release and the Radio Beats will have you dancing the night away like you were hepped up on speed or downing ephedrine all night. The Radio Beats traveled all the way from Pittsburgh, PA to Virginia Beach to record this record with their idol, Steve Baise of Devil Dogs and Vikings fame. Steve in a weekend power session, recorded these twelve tracks and dug deep down in the mix to bring you all the hooks that only the Radio Beats can deliver.

The Shirks- S/T 7”
-The Shirks containing ex members of the Problematics are bringing punk rock back to Washington D.C.. They play revved up, rock n’ roll, and all their songs are as catchy as any anthemic punk song ever was. While the song structure strikes a resemblance to the Saints, their songs are performed with an intensity more akin to the Carbonas or Teengenerate. This 7” comes with a free download card. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

The Fitt- Hawk Eyes 7”
-The Fitt out of Pittsburgh, PA have released their second EP and it is as powerful as a train derailment. 6 songs brutally smashed into this 7”. All of them grinding, crushing, and churning like a tornado of rock n roll. Pat’s gravely voice keeps grating like an axe on a grinding wheel. The Fitt have only gotten heavier, a mix of punk, rock, with a hint of Jesus Lizard noise. This 7” comes with a free download card and is LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Seger Liberation Army- Downhome CD
-Tom Potter(Bantam Rooster, Dirtbombs, Detroit City Council), Jim Diamond (Dirtbombs and nameless other bands), and the rest of the boys Fred Beldin(Clutters and El Smasho), Nick Lloyd(Bantam Rooster), finally decided to finish their opus to that grand master of garage Rock n Roll, Bob Seger! Gleaning the archives of the Seger System, our boys pulled out the gems of the pack and brought them steamrolling into the 21st century with a louder, more brash sound, with the energy of today’s garage rock, and drowned in loads and loads of beer. Welcome back Bob Seger to real rock n roll.

The Worst- Earache 7”
-The Worst hail from the windiest of cities, Chicago. These four songs were recorded and produced by Jimmy Hollywood of Tyrades and Baseball Furies fame. The Worst really encompass the best of The Tyrades by almost constantly seeming on the edge of loosing it, but somehow managing to hold their songs together in a scuzzed out, fuzzed out wall of awesome. The Worst really create their own style of music taking their songs to the edge and back again; and kicking total ass along the way. Definately riffs galore on this beast. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Moorat Fingers- Achtung Douchebag 7”
-Bloody hell these krauts crank out some awesome vinyl! Especiallly since all of it rocks like shit. After a slew of singles and a few full lengths they’re back with a new one. Hard, mean, hatefilled stuff somewhere between Motörhead, Cosmic Psychos, vintage Turbonegro and especially Leather Nun's "Slow Death" album! Any which way you look at it, this is one of Europe's hardest and best bands right now and this just might just be my number one pick for Euro punkrock record of the year. Awesome stuff.

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. LIMITED LP REPRESS ON SWIRLY BLUEISH GREEN VINYL!!

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 this 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 of Dwarves speed with Devil Dogs hooks, this album is a pure rock n roll rager. LP comes with a free download card and is LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

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- II 7”
-Alicja Trout's, from THE LOST SOUNDS and THE CLEARS, side project, THE FITTS! 4 songs from an all female band that opens the world to the depravities of their souls. Songs about the horrors of men and what they want to do to them, songs about the stupidity of other women and what they deserve, songs that are twisted and demented renderings of everyday life. Come into their world and feel their pain. 4 crazed garage rocks synth tunes. Recorded with Jay Reatard at the helm.

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.

MEATY BEAT RECORDS (USA)
Wednesday Night Heroes- Superiority Complex 10"
-For the very first time on vinyl!!! This is a deluxe limited edition colour vinyl re-issue of the Wednesday Night Heroes 2nd full-length album. Originally released on CD in 2003, this was the album that broke the Heroes into the spotlight! On limited orange/splatter vinyl in a heavy card-stock jacket with a die-cut cover that shows the printed innersleeve through it. Most of you know the Wednesday Night Heroes from their records on Charged and BYO. This is the album that got them alot of notoriety and got BYO on board. The packaging on this one is pretty insane!! LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Bonecrusher- Our Nations Burning 10"
-Bonecrusher a no-frills, self-proclaimed "working-class" punk band, were formed in 1992 in Orange County, CA. Over the years a series of setbacks all conspired against the band-- drugs, members off to jail or other bands, booking problems, practice problems etc. But over the years the core ethos of the band has remained thanks to long term members George Paras, Noah Lysik and Mike Kanel. This is the first new release from this seminal California punk band in over 3 years and thankfully their sound hasn’t changed! Bonecrusher’s always been about fighting the good fight. On first listen, without paying attention to the lyrics, it’d be easy to dismiss them as a bunch of thugs who have a reputation for beating up people who come to their shows and rip out the occasional light fixture from a club’s ceiling. But if you actually listen to their music, you’ll discover what really makes Bonecrusher a force to be reckoned with. A good number of their songs are about the nobility of work, the power of unions, and standing on your own two feet all set to a really tough and macho 4 Skins, Blitz, Partisans, Skrewdriver exterior. One of the few modern oi influenced punk bands that “get it”. Seriously, great stuff from the ‘Crusher here. THESE COPIES ARE FROM THE FIRST PRESS OF 500 ON SILVER AND BLACK MARBLE WAX WITH DELUXE 10” PACKAGING!! THE VINYL ON THIS LOOKS SICK!!

Botox Rats- Modern Caesars LP
-The Botox Rats from London, England are both beautiful and decadent; and indulge all of our inner perversions through rock'n'roll. Taking bits of first wave punk, glam, and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders, Modern Caesars is a throwback to the seedier side of life in the rock n roll scene. The kind of record that would be cranked at a bar where rats run rampantly across the floor, the trannys blend in with the locals and last call only means, ‘how much time do I have to make to the liquor store before they close’. The lurid soundtrack to those hazy booze filled benders that felt right at the time. LP LIMITED TO 500 SWIRLY COPPER LOOKING VINYL WITH DELUXE PRINTED INNER DUST SLEEVE! LP ALSO COMES WITH FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CARD!!

Crackdown/Hiroshima Mon Amour- ‘Broken Guitars and Trashy Bars’ Split LP
-This international split features 2 amazing punk rock’n’roll bands, one from Canada and the other from Germany. Both are relatively new bands, but not newcomers to the scene – The Crackdown from Winnipeg, Canada previously self-released an amazing CD EP and produced their own video in support of the EP! They’re an exciting bunch of young punks w/ a sound and style in the same vein as The Clash, Rose Tattoo and the Partisans. And Hiroshima Mon Amour feature front-man Uwe, formerly of seminal German punk band Public Toys!! Hiroshima Mon Amour are a more grizzled bunch of punk rock veterans and play a more of a glammed up, swaggering rock'n'roll!! Each band contributes 6 ragged punk-rock/rock’n’roll songs ranging from snotty punk to gritty rock. Bonus points for the Rose Tatto cover. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Harrington Saints/Slick 46- Split 7"
-California street rockers the Harrington Saints deliver 2 tunes of really really good pub punk rock/ Oi!. A lot of the time I associate this type of punk with really crappy bands, but these guys are really fucking good! There's a ton of attitude but all in a postive way. If this split came out thirty years ago Slick 46 would be playing alongside Blitz and the Business. They’re unashamedly old school with plenty of sing-a-long chorus & loud guitar riffs. Their influences are obvious- The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Sex Pistols, Sham 69 and current bands like the U.S. Bombs and Swingin Utters. A nice split paring. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON SPLIT BLACK/RED COLORED SPLAT WAX!!

Soundcity Hooligans/Hollywood Gods 7"
-Soundcity Hooligans: They sound eerily like the guy from the Beltones or Paddy from D4 singing about fighting and, uh, being a hooligan, backed by some mid-tempo, tuneful streetpunk stuff. Despite the somewhat meatheaded material, it was some catchy shit, indeed. Hollywood Gods: I think they’re shooting for a Dropkick Murphys/ Bouncing Souls, anthemic tunes with a rough and tough exterior, and they play it well. Probably just about the prettiest piece of colored vinyl I’ve ever seen. 7” LIMITED TO 500 ON BABY BLUE AND WHITE SWIRLY WAX!!

Knucklehead/Hostage Life- Split 7"
-This is the 4th and latest installment in the Meaty Beaty Music split EP series! This time featuring 2 veteran Canadian punk bands from opposite sides of the country - Knucklehead from Calgary, AB and Hostage Life from Toronto, ON. Hard to believe that Knucklehead have been around for 15 years now. They give us two new ones that any Swingin Utters, Stiff Little Fingers, Youth Brigade fan would dig. Hostage Life puts a reasonably refreshing spin to their pair of Clash inspired punk ditties. The two songs cover a similar territory to what One Man Army and the Ducky Boys have done in the past, while putting their own disctinctive stamp to the delivery. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON YELLOW AND WHITE SPLATTER WAX!!

Intensives/Panik Attak- Split 7"
- Intensives and Panik Attak are two punk-as-fuck bands from Edmonton, Canada. One of the best parts about Edmonton’s music scene is its collaboration-over-competition ethos, and nowhere is that more prevalent than within the punk scene. The inclusive nature of Edmonton’s punks is also prevalent in the scene’s preference for split seven-inch releases. Putting one band on either side of a single slab of wax not only allows for the cost of pressing to be shared by a greater number of people, it also lets two bands piggyback on each other and be exposed to more people. Plus it’s pretty easy for Edmonton punks to make splits a reality—after all, it sometimes seems like there are a hundred punk bands in this city made up of the same nine guys rotating instruments. Take Todd Rocket for example; formerly the drummer of Wednesday Night Heroes, Rocket is now splitting his time between playing bass in Intensives and singing in Panik Attak. Whereast the Heroes were more oi-ish street punk ala the Swingin Utter, Stiff Little Finger; the Intensives and Panik Attak are more mangled echoes of the Adicts, Ejected, Defects and Vibrators scraped off the pavement. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON GREEN AND BLACK SPLAT/SWIRL WAX!!!

Mean Streets- That Day 7"
-This record just might be the perfect package. First of all, I love seven inch singles. My favorite format. CHECK! Musically, Mean Streets come off sounding like something in the vein of The Beltones which is more than fine by me. The vocals are a little thinner though, but it took me all of a verse in the first song to get used to it. Both tunes are catchy and made me want to move. CHECK! This single is absolutely beautiful to look at. The cover art is all done in black, white and various shades of blue. There is none of the usual “tough guy street rock” trappings that a lot of bands in this genre fall into. Best of all, the slab of vinyl itself just might be the coolest wax I’ve ever seen. A marble of black and deep blue with white spattered throughout. CHECK! I think I’ll have to keep an ear out for more from these guys. 7” LIMITED TO 500 ON SPLIT BLACK/BLUE SPLATTERED MARBLE WAX. SWEET LOOKIN!

Avenue Rose/Let's Dance- Split 7”
-If you’re looking for a sincere band that plays punk-driven rock’n’roll, look no further than Avenue Rose. No cheap gimmicks, no trendy clichés, just pure heart-filled punk rock! For the past three years Avenue Rose had made the Pacific Northwest their home. Though the members of the band are spread out from Seattle, WA to Portland, OR (and a few places in-between) the guys couldn’t be any closer. They play classic sounding poppy punk with a strong foot hold in rock n roll. Kinda Exploding Hearts, Soda Pop Kids, Prima Donna-ey with a bit of bar rock sleaze ala Thunders or Nikki Sudden. Sadly the band is no longer as one of the members went on to play with the Cute Lepers and recently passed away from a drug over dose while on tour. These songs are solid and they do show that he had a promising future. Sad. Their side was recorded by Steve E Nix of the Briefs, Cute Lepers. Backing Aveneu Rose are Alberta’s Let’s Dance. These four delinquents bring an intense energy to your turntable. Heavily influenced by late 70's punk and power-pop, the band writes fast energetic songs that force their audience to heed the bands namesake demand. Let’s Dance have played all throughout western Canada the Epoxies, the canadian Subhumans and the Tranzmitors, among others, and that should give you an idea of where they’re coming from. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON STRIPEY YELLOW AND WHITE MARBLE WAX!!

The Spitfires- Three CD
-What better way to increase the "vibe" of your next alcoholic stupor than to throw the tough-nut rock'n'roll sounds of the SPITFIRES around the room? Somewhere between some and many songs of barstool bashing and bottlebreaking fucked-up fun played by four dudes from Canada! Receiving international acclaim from their last album on JUNK, this is a band that echoes the great intensity of The Stooges, Dead Boys, New York Dolls, AC/DC, Kiss, and The Ramones. Not as much fun as puking on your date, but a helluva lot easier to explain the next day.

Wednesday Night Heroes- S/T gatefold LP
-The debut album from one of the hardest working punk bands out there The Wednesday Night Heroes. Their original 'Self-Titled' debut came out on CD only and has been out of print for years. Finally it’s been pressed on vinyl with a never before released bonus track!!! After releasing their first 2 albums on Longshot Music, the Heroes have signed on with BYO Records for their next 2 albums and have spent weeks and months on tour, bringing their exciting live show to every stage in big cities and small towns. Comprised of four avid music collectors with a wide variety of influences and tastes, The ‘Heroes’ brand of punk rock is raw and highly energetic with a style firmly embedded in the historic roots. Their vigorous style of punk is influenced by radical bands from the U.K. like GBH, The Clash, Chelsea, The Professionals and Cockney Rejects to some of the hardcore acts from the U.S. like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, 7 Seconds and Naked Raygun. Originally releases in 2001, this first WNH album is more 'street' and 'punk' than their more recent releases, and a must for the fan that wants to hear where they came from. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES IN A SNAZZY LOOKING GATEFOLD COVER!!

Nervous Tics- Stupid Little Heart 7"
-Led by San Francisco's legendary front-man, Howlin' Hotdog, the Nervous Tics are a breath of fresh air in a scene saturated by hipsters these days. Three songs of pop/rock'n'roll with female backing vocals and organ throughout makes for a very catchy and fun EP. The Tics contain members of the Beltones, Radio Reelers and Killers Kiss. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON BRIGHT ORANGE WAX!!

PERPETRATOR RECORDS (New Zealand)
Movie Star Junkies - Flamingos 7"
-Mustachioed dudes from Turin, Italy playing psychy, fuzzy rock; drunk on absinthe....again! Movie Star Junkies seems to be ready to go down to the deepest and darkest side of rock n roll,with a claustrophobic sound that clarely reminds me of the Scientists and the Chrome Cranks. LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!!

Knife Fight - Ugly 7"
-Good god, this is a great single. Seriously, I think Knife Fight have taken the trash rock aesthetic to a whole new apex of awesomeness. Yup after what seemed like an eternity, the debut 7' vinyl by Wellington's premiere noise rock terrorists is finally out. New Zealands answer to the Fatals dish out 2 scuzzy dirty tracks of blown fi slop rock that hearken back to the rawer trashy side of the Crypt catalog. Oblivians, Dirtys, Gories will wanna hear this. All kill, no fill!! LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!!

Original Three - I Rock, I Ran 7"
-OK Black Lips fans, this ones for you. The Original Three is Ian from the Black Lips new side project and Black Lips fans won't be disappointed by this one. Nice little slice of Memphis here with Cole from the Black Lips playing autoharp on one tune and the recording handled by Jack Oblivian. Fans of the Persuaders, Reatards, Black Lips, Gories, 68 Comeback will dig. LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!!

Golden Boys- S/T LP
-Hailing from deep in the Texas Hill Country, The Golden Boys have roots drawing deep from the window pane well of sonic and geographic kin like the 13th Floor Elevators, Sir Douglas Quintet and the Dicks. Basically James Arthur (FIREWORKS, NECESSARY EVILS, A FEAST OF SNAKES) teams up with a few other southern rockers to play some loud and bluesy, countrified, rock n roll. LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!

Jeremy Gluck- I Am Time 7”
-Jeremy Samuel Gluck is an expatriate Canadian writer, artist, musician, and stuff based in south Wales. For many years Jeremy lived in London, where in 1978 he formed The Barracudas, a cult garage surf-punk band with a Flamin' Groovies fetish. This new single is a little more mature than the straigh forward rock n roll stuff he was doin in the ‘cudas. The signature Barracudas guitar work is still there but with a little more doomey introspective Velvet Underground vibe goin on. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Skip Jensen- Out On The Horizon 7”
-New single here from Skip after that awesome album on Demolition Derby. For those not in the know this is Skip Jensen of the Scat Rag Boosters/Demon’s Claws one man solo project. Hella distorted lo fi memphis blues here from the one of the best one man bands around. Two new Skip Jensen tunes recorded in between Demon’s Claws tours. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

The Lot Lizards- Leave Me Alone (I’ve Got A Bomb) 7”
-Like most bands it all started with a drunken conversation in a rubbish club watching a succession of terrible bands in summer 2005. Lemmy Caution (Black Time) and GG Cicciolina (ex Kill, Kill, Kill) united by a love of not only early punk innovators like the Germs and Crime but also more recent garage goodness like the Oblivians and Cheater Slicks decided to put together something without guitar solos or Ludicrous drum breaks. A real drummer was needed to put it on a stage so the search was on, enter Meg... Since her band was in the process of falling apart she agreed to give it a go. The Lot Lizards lasted for only a handful of shows before Lemmy started getting busy with his full time band Black Time and he dropped out. The band forged ahead as a two piece and ripped out their unique version of punk/garage scuzz. Everyone who saw them couldn't decide if they were more like the Mummies, Black Flag or Pussy Galore. But the band didn't care they just played. So here it is the debut single from the Lot Lizards. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES with a new single right around the bend on Yakisakana.

This Damn Town- Love Like Lies 7”
-Well it looks like this will be the last This Damn Town single for a while now that Alex Cuervo is busy with the Hex Dispensers. These guys put out a slew of killer singles, and this ones no exceptions. 2 fuzz drenched, catchy and theatric tunes of rhythmic, powerful garage rock. The band boasts members of long standing TX rock n roll bands like Blaktop, the Now Time Delegation, A Feast of Snakes, Gospel Swingers and the Hex Dispensers. And if any of those bands mean anything to ya, this ones an absolute must have. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Ladies Night- Hell On The Phone 7”
-There is a new brand of garage rock brewing in Vancouver, its called "Douchebag" and Ladies Night are leading the pack. Just ask Ladies Night frontman Neo (akaLevon), who had this to say: "Me and Smith (akaClint) just hate the world, and we want people to know it. So every night we drink sparks and Smith shits from trees... we like to think that sorta epitomizes our sound". Musically its’ just pure and unapolagetic trash fest mixing equal parts the Feelers, Clone Defects and Cheater Slicks. Great follow up to their split with No Feeling on Seeing Eye Records. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

Night Terrors/Toby Wong- split 7”
-Tony Sagger and Kevin Mistreater are back as the Night Terrors. Joining them on this split single are Toby Wong, who I’ve never heard before. Both bands dish out an Alice Cooper tune with the Night Terrors being way ahead of the curve. They make the song their own and Night Terror it the fuck out, so it could almost pass an original......almost!! Toby Wong is stuck in 2nd gear, and come of sounding like a white trash bar band, that stuck rockin the covers because they’re to lazy to try and write an original. Sloppy, loose metallic rock n roll from Toby Wong. Cool full color cover by CL Steinhagen too. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

Brutal Knights- Breakdown 7”
-Along with anyone lucky enough to have seen this band live, I’ve been praising BK’s greatness ever since I heard that Nick Flanagan (Teen Crud Combo) and the Sharon brothers (Hacksaw) were talking about starting a new band. If you don’t already know, Toronto has been responsible for some of the best current punk bands going (Fucked Up, Career Suicide, Terminal State) and now Brutal Knights. Shit, they were even voted ‘Best PUNK band of 2006’ in Toronto. Their ‘Not Fun’ 7inch raised a few eyebrows but failed to really capture BK’s sound and intensity. Luckily, this album is not only a huge improvement with a solid mix/mastering by Jon Drew (produced both Fucked Up ‘Police’ and ‘Generations’) but it also includes two face melting covers of ‘Communication Breakdown’ and ‘Nervous Breakdown’. Play this fucker loud!! LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Red Red Red- Static Signals 7"
-After the demise of the great Detroit weirdo art punk band the Piranhas, Ryan quickly began writing recording with this new band Red Red Red. The’ve been around for a little over a year and this is their debut sing. A 2 song blaster, that is more akin to fellow Detriot punk bashers Human Eye and the Clone Defects than Ryans former band. ‘Disconected’ is just an awesome punk tune. Blaring trebley guitar, frantic thrashy drumming carrying an overall solid tune. On the flip you get ‘Static Signals’ which is a little closer to the Piranhas and also brings to mind some of the more slower C. Defects tunes. Droning wave-esque post punk that could blend in on a Human Eye record. This band is definately another one to keep an eye out for. They got an album that will be out soon on Big Neck. If it’s anything like the songs on this single and the 5 others I’ve heard from this band, it’ll absolutely slay. RECCOMENDED!!!

Royal Routes- I Want Her 7"
- The Royal Routes are Danny from Les Sexareenos, and Martin and Edouard from the Scat Rag Boosters. With a lineup like that you know this is some raw ass rock n’ roll. 2 mid fi blues number played by punk rockers and is loud, trashy and plenty nasty. Great follow up to their singles on Big Black Hole and Goodbye Boozy.

Killers Kiss- Do It Again 7"
- Possible last blast by these San Franciscan psychedelic punkers...2 slabs of Stooge-ian wah-wah fury...Showing their Australian swamp-punk influences in spades on this release, Scientists & Birthday Party inspired tips o' the hat...and to add further weight to that, a spot on rendition of the Beasts of Bourbon's ode to hate from their 2nd LP "Sour Mash", when the band still contained two ex-Scientists....tasteful (?) sleeve by Alex Cuervo (graphic maestro extraordinaire & leader of the This Damn Town pack)....a goddamn solid package. LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!

RESIDUE RECORDS (USA)
Pedestrians- Ideal Divide LP
-One of the few truley original punk bands these days, Pedestrians prove their songwriting abilities on this new eight song 12". Comparisons come and go from old Dangerhouse bands, Adolescents, old KBD-type shit, etc because their sound is hard to describe and somehow has managed to appeal to hardcore punks, garage rockers, etc. Fantastic lyrics and musicianship from real DIY punks playing their hearts out, not some major label fencewalkers which seem to somehow be accepted in the complacent punk scene today. That honesty comes through in the songs in which the power is undeniable.

Daylight Robbery- Red Tape 7”
-After releasing one of the best punk/garage rock EPs last year, Daylight Robbery doesn’t let up a notch on this hot new 3 song recording. The A-side takes off with classic Dangerhouse- style punk with male/female vocals that bend and weave together in subtle melodic harmonies. Comparisons come and go with everything from X to Guerilla Angreb to Gun Club, but Daylight Robbery has this way of blending in more than just influences or retro/classic punk. The B-side (Circles) is one of the most haunting and atmospheric tracks that climbs to an almost insane intensity that underlines this whole EP. Red Tape will no doubt turn heads and have you hoping for a future Daylight Robbery full-length LP. I hear it’s on the horizon.

No Slogan- Aversion Therapy LP
-First full-length LP by the hardest hitting punk/hardcore band to come out of Chicago in almost a decade. This LP rips from classic mid-tempo punk to raging hardcore by spitting out dark words of alienation and pure head-spinning anger. Instant punk classics like “Capacity to Hate” and “Dead” have a pounding texture to the guitars and drums that make the tracks both catchy and powerful at the same time. Aversion Therapy is No Slogan’s strongest musical statement to date and captures the purest sound of abrasive, dark, and melodic hardcore-punk. Amazing and riveting cover artwork done by Chris Ilth (Functional Blackouts/Daily Void). Look out, this might be the most vital and classic LP of 2009!

Sacred Shock- You’re Not With Us LP
- Here comes one of the most anticipated full-length records of the year! Austin, TX's Sacred Shock rose from the ashes of Army Of Jesus and continue to bring an incredibly intense onslaught of pure hardcore, channeling the spirits of bands that blended melody and angst like Articles Of Faith or The Pist and bring the raw passion of Deathreat or Talk Is Poison. Nothing short of crushing, masterful, and brutal all wrapped up in one moment. Do not miss out on this record! LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Daylight Robbery- Washtenhaw 7”
-The first EP from this Chicago band featuring members of Pedestrians and Manhandlers. Amazing Dangerhouse style punk with male/ female vocals that pushes the boundries between garage rock and modern punk with its solid song writting and edginess that is the cornerstone of the current Chicago DIY scene. All 4 songs on this EP rip-out a steady steam of melodies with an intensity and honesty that keeps the wax firmly planted on the turntable.

Canadian Rifle- Visibility Zero LP
-The long anticipated first full-length by one of Chicago’s best DIY punk bands. Like a new pandemic flu strain, this record drives the melody though the darkness by killing you with amazingly catchy songs ripe with bluntness and sarcasm. Great song writing drives each song after song making this record more of an addiction than a cure. Tracks like “Multiply”, “Swallow the Landfill”, and “Live Infected” capture a passionate mixture of brash vocals (reminiscent of Leatherface or early Jawbreaker) interlaced perfectly with bleak melodies and urgent drums. 10 songs in and nothing ever lets up.

Pedestrians- Killing Season 7”
-The Pedestrians return with another mid-tempo punk rock attack, taking influence from bands that could have been on Dangerhouse or KBD comps, putting just enough garage influence into these songs to keep things interesting and original. Final rager from this great Chicago band. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND IS ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!!

HOUSEPLANT RECORDS (USA)
Landlord- Lifers LP
-Chris and Matte from The Door-Keys join Will from Defiance Ohio to make up Bloomington, IN's garage-punk answer to Dinosaur Jr. With haunting melody and beautiful harmony, this three-piece play 1990's alternative rock with vibes of Meat Puppets or Pavement. While Bloomington residents might catch The Coug chowing down at Chipotle, Landlord rings in a true era of midwest small-town romance with flawless songwriting, wide dynamic range, perfect pop-sense, and punk energy. Music lovers with a vast appreciation for all types of rock and roll will find much to rally behind here as the band channels the laid-back groove of Neil Young, the minor/major key shifting of The Zombies, J Mascis-esque guitar shredding, and builds on the blissful pop-punk cornerstone laid by their own The Door-Keys. "Lifers" was recorded to tape in one sleep-deprived session at Chattanooga, TN's Revolution Sound by Mike Pack (Future Virgins). Then, these workhorses handmade the album collage artwork, insert, and limited edition screened posters. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Pink Razors- Leave Alive LP
-In the wake of great change for punk-pop purveyors PINK RAZORS, their second LP "Leave Alive" reflects the band's transformations. The band's penchant for hooks, crunch, and speed remain intact here but are given more room to breathe, resulting in longer, more developed pop constructions that explore different tempos. Early listeners cite a more pop-punk SUPERCHUNK, or a cleaner SCARED OF CHAKA. This first release since adding new member Erin Tobey was recorded just before she and principal songwriter, Jeff Grant, left their Richmond, VA home base for the smaller town of Bloomington, IN. With drummer Adam Monroe hopping around the US between seasonal forest service jobs and bassist Justin Owen still in Richmond, the band's rare opportunities to meet up for shows, recording, or writing seem only more significant now. Amidst this turbulence, the band grabbed the reins of their fate by releasing this sophomore full-length on their own upstart, Houseplant Records (after time as the black sheep on the Robotic Empire label and a follow-up 7" on the smaller Rorschach label). The handmade "fall colors in full color" artwork make this 12" an eye-catcher, the kind of record you'll want to stare into as the vinyl spins. Fans of the Ergs and Lemuria will dig this one. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

DEAD BEAT RECORDS (USA)
BLACK KNOTS- Guitarmageddon CD
-After a self released debut full length on the bands own Oil River Records, the BLACK KNOTS are back with an abosulutely thunderous, mind numbing record. Riff after riff, song after song the BLACK KNOTS plow through the competition by doing what so many bands have failed miserably at attempthing. Rockin’ the fuck out. In the same league as long standing riff demons like the Candy Snatchers, New Bomb Turks, the Hellacopters and Zeke; the BLACK KNOTS flawlessly spew 10 fierce, vicious rippers that so many “kiddy bands” could only aspire to write. The small, college town of Huntington, West Virginia has bred the BLACK KNOTS well. Raised on a steady diet of AC/DC, Thorougood, Maiden, the Stooges, Motorhead, Birdman and Priest; the BLACK KNOTS have spent many a years disecting the core elements that become the nucleus of the BLACK KNOTS sound. Monsterous, ear splitting riffs built around a brooding, thunderous back bone and sealed by the boastly, lecherous snarl of their charasmatic front man Jerry Lee Queen. Sounds like these don’t come from just any band and god damn, if they don’t play this shit well. On June 6th, 2005 the Hellacopters released an album called ‘Rock N Roll Is Dead’. Ya I can definately agree with that. But leave it to the BLACK KNOTS to go above and beyond the call of duty to resuscitate the cadaver. Rock N Roll definately isn’t alive, but with records like the ‘Guitarmageddon’, I can safely say it’s at least got a fuckin’ pulse.

HALO OF FLIES (USA)
Malachi- Wither To Cover The Thread LP
-Second full length for this band from Milwaukee. Described as 4 songs of epic crushing doom / crust. Thundering Cello-led melancholy. Walls of riffs. Seas of despair. Life has failed. I couldn't find a better way to describe this. Really intense and highly recommended. Comes with a 24x36 poster/insert and LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!.

Masakari- S/T 7”
- Their debut release, it delivers four tracks of crust in the vein of From Ashes Rise, Tragedy and His Hero is Gone with heavy thick guitars and emotional riffs and melodies here and there,fast rhythm section with excellent drums and rough vocals. Sound quality is excellent, Sometimes they sound more into HHIG/FAR stuff, then at some moments a kang feeling rises coming straight from Sweden and some traces of japcore appear in the glimpse of the eye(ear). COOL HAND SCREENED COVERS AND LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Protestant- S/T 7”
-Where the main path here is in fact dark and powerful hardcore the music takes more than one turn with the occasional doom-laden riffs lurking around one corner and blastbeats around another. The guitar work on here also brings forth thoughts of black metal from time to time with their evil sounding harmonies. Spitting vocals, ravelling riffs, and an alternation and combination of the crushing rhythms and rapid deliverances makes the word powerful seem like an understatement with it comes to the three tracks on this EP. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

SHIT IN CAN RECORDS (France)
Chuck Violence- S/T 7"
-Four tracks of honky tonk tex mex punk from a Brazilian guy who used to live in Mexico. Completely crazed and deranged but extremely entertaining stuff that makes you want to eat peyote, howl at the moon and chase senoritas. A must for fans of mad one-man-bands or stuff like the Gories, Oblivians and Haunted George. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Ric Rhythm & the Revengers- S/T 7"
-Right on!!! These guys do have an awesome sound: raunchy as hell but groovy all the way! To my ears, they sound like the missing link between The New York Dolls and The Hunches! The guitar sound is wild and dirty and the singer does an excellent job. Get it now before it's too late! LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Made For Chickens By Robots- S/T 7"
-Wow! What a great single from this aussie punkblues one-man-band! Really raw, primitive, and spastic delta Street in the 1930s. A real must have! Fans of newer bands like South Filthy, Oblivian or Gories will dig. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

KICK YOUR BUTT RECORDS (Canada)
Rocket Reducers- S/T LP
-Seven drunken cuts of fast, snotty garage-punk in the vein of New Bomb Turks/Pagans/Teengenerate. Seriously, if you want to sit down for about 15 minutes of kick-you-in-the-nutsrock ‘n’ roll, this is your ticket. The songs are shortcatchy, raw, and delivered with a sense of urgency that will leave ya wondering the the fuck just hit ay. This is worth going out of your way to find. Self-released debut here. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WITH A KILLER CUT AND PAST COVER JOBBY!!

NEFARIOUS PRODUCTIONS (Canada)
DIRTY CHINESE THIEVES- Uber Alles LP
-In a genre gone horribly impotent, it's relieving to know there's a band like Dirty Chinese Thieves keeping punk rock hard and fast. The album contains an anuditory barrage of criminally short for the attention depraved. Uber Alles casts aside all pretensions in favour of ensuring that tracks such as "White Gloves," "Hate Crimes" and "Termination List" run like a streamlined hot rod in danger of crashing into the median. Surprisingly, the band manage to keep it straight, delivering buoyant bouts of chant-a-long, three chord blasts. Pulling from the brevity of early Black Flag, the twisted humour of Turbonegro and the effortlessness of the New Bomb Turks. Uber Alles is as unusual as it is inspiring. SELF RELEASED BY THE BAND AND LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!! Get it while you can!!

The Fatals- S/T 7”
--Good God DAMN does this shit sound great!!! Seriously, I think the Fatals have taken the trash rock aesthetic to a whole new apex of awesomeness. Since the records do have the most perfect blown out production I’ve heard in ages, I could care less about what they would sound like if they recorded at Ghetto Recorders or something. But the production is only part of the puzzle as to what makes the Fatals so bedazzling, beguiling, and balls-out bombastic. This is thee last 7” released by the Fatals and includes the last 3 songs the band recorded! Long live these French derlecits. 7” WAS LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERD COPIES!! VERY RARE 1 PER CUSTOMER!!

TORNDAO RIDE RECORDS (Italy)
Black Knots- Hellbent To Kick It Out LP
-At the root, the Black Knots walk the line of AC/DC, Turbonegro, the Hellacopters and Zeke. 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, AC/DC song writing and with the driving force of Motorhead.

Walter Lure- Live In Berlin CD
-Ok THUNDERS/HEARTBREAKERS fans, this ones for you!! Waldos mainman and long-time guitarist for Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, has released his first new album in years. (I think the last Waldos disc was 1995's Rent Party CD). Walter has been a long-time figure on the NY punk scene, having played with the original Heartbreakers, added his classic guitar sound to a number of Ramones discs and he also sang the final song (along with CJ Ramone) at the last night of the original incarnation of The Continental. This new album, Live In Berlin, was recorded in April '07 and includes 14 tracks. Get it while you can, as this CD was LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Cusack- Kingdom Come 7”
-New band from Italy containg members of the SUINAGE and GO DOWN MOSES. The single contains 2 songs of low down and dirty riff heavy rock n roll that at times reminds me a bit of the Hot Snakes. Get it while you can as, this one was LIMITED TO ONLY 200 COPIES AND WE ONLY GOT A FEW!!

Darlington/Teenage Bubblegums- Split 7”
-Darlington and the Teenage Bubblegums prove that the the Pop in POP PUNK is still alive. Each band brings 2 tracks that are dripping with sentiment and gushy lovey-dovey stuff that dreams are made of. If you like your love songs crooned and your harmonies bouncy this is the record for you. 7” LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!

Demons- My Bleeding Heart 7”
-Despite that they have done three full length albums and that Hellacopters has recorded one of their songs (Electrocute), Demons have not quite managed to break through on their home turf of Sweden. Maybe that will change now as the band is opening up on The Hellacopters farewell tour and has this new one totally rips from start to finis. Demons should have a chance to claim the throne when Nicke, Strings and company throw in the towel for good. Very limited single here made specifally for the Demons Euro tour with the Hellacopters. 7” LIMITED TO ONLY 300 COPIES!!

Hamburg Ramones- Merry Christmas 7”
-Very LIMITED single here from the Hamburg Ramones with two Christmas themes Ramones-ey rockers. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN, AS THIS BAD BOY WAS LIMITED TO ONLY 200 COPIES!

Hamburg Ramones- Long Black Hair LP
-Short, fast and melodic songs with great hooklines that will help to keep the spirit of the four legends from NYC alive! "Long Black Hair" kicks ass as much as anything the Ramones ever did and standout tracks will include the smash hits "Rock'n'Roller Coaster", "Long Black Hair", "Surfpunk's Back In Town" as well as Ham Ram's fastest song to date, "Bomber In Your Heart", dedicated to Lemmy. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Cowboy Prostitutes- Swingin’ At The Fences CD
-Ahhh … another sleazy punk/glam band with a kick ass name to boot. Cowboy Prostitutes is the booze-orgy of band names. The band is from Sweden, and are trying to single handedly bring the kind of KISS/Thunders/Hanoi Rocks amalgam of Rock back to the forefront of the industry. And everyone who likes great Rock ‘n’ Roll is better off for it. Swingin’ From the Fences isn’t anything new, but it’s unique enough to stand apart from many of the bands playing this type of music. It’s also heavier than most bands in this genre kinda like if the Hellacopters played alot more stripped down raw and mean.

The LustKillers- Black Sugar Sessions LP
-The LustKillers check in with an all star line including BRIAN JAMES (THE DAMNED), DAVE TRAGUNNA (SHAM 69) and DAM BACVARE (LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH). The Black Sugar Sessions contains 8 tracks that embody the spirit and energy of the other bands they play in with a noticable rock n roll fixaction. Stiv Bators, Hanoi Rocks, Generation X, the Plasmatics and Smack are some of the influences that can be heard on this LP. The LustKillers get together a few times a year to play shows when the band members are in the same area and not on tour with their other bands. And if this LP is any indicator of their live persona, they’re probably a blast live. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Die Tonight/Smash It Up- Split 7"
-Smash It Up play all school Punk Rock...simple, direct and not about anything else than playing good beer drinking punk tunes. Musically they check in with 2 solid street punk tunes chanelling bands like Blitz and Cocksparrer with the energy of the Bruisers. Pretty stellar studio recording on their side. Die Tonight check in with two of their own opting for the more glammy, sleazy rock n roll approach. They sound like American Heartbreak with a bit more bite. Groovy rockin melodies with some sick and careening guitar riffs to back up the song writing. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

The Good Ol' Boys-PIZZA SHAPED PICTURE DISC 10"
-Remember the first time you heard a rock band that was so exciting, you just had to share their music with everyone you knew? Whether it was THE ROLLING STONES, RAMONES or GUNS N’ ROSES makes no difference- it became your mission to blast those righteous sounds upon unsuspecting ears. Well, prepare to relive that experience with the The Good Ol’ Boys. A raw tattoo that rocks sonically with brazen heart and voluminous punch. 10” LIMITED TO 300 PICTURE DISCS. AND DAMN DOES THE PIZZA LOOK TASTY!!!

Dennis Most- Indiana Roadkillarama LP
-You probably know Dennis from is Full length reissue on Rave Up Records. Damn this guy started playing shows a year before I was born. So it seems he doesn’t need any introduction. But I have never heard of him and maybe I’m not the only one, so here is short story about his career. Dennis Most is a singer, songwriter, producer and arranger. His love for rock 'n' roll started in his hometown of Fairmount, Indiana where he started playing in his first band called PUNK in 1969 before starting Dennis Most And The Instigators. Since that time his music developed into psychedelic punk rock, glam and garage rock all of which you can hear on the eleven songs on this album which is Dennis’ newest material to date. Really well arranged rock n roll from this first waver! Get em while you can as this is LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Dennis Most- I'm Not Dead Yet LP
-Indiana’s Dennis Most has been cranking out his brand of hard rocking garagey punk metal since 1972. However, despite all the years under his belt, he hasn’t really released much up til now. Just four singles, a 2 vinyl LPs, two CDs, and a few compilation tracks here and there. Most’s 1979 single “Excuse My Spunk”, recently introduced to a new generation of fans via its appearance on a 1998 ‘Killed By Death’ compilation LP, is probably his main claim to fame. But as the material on these two recently issued discs shows, there’s more to Dennis Most than one song. It definitely has that feel of early punk, before the rule book became written in stone. Most’s vocals at times remind me David Thomas, Roky Erikson and Richard Hell. This LP is a compilation of old and new tracks and is a nice sampling of this first wave punk rocker at work. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Generous Maria- Electricism LP
--For my money , Sweden’s Generous Maria are the finest band to emerge from the lumbering “Stoner rock” scene. And that’s not just because they dress better than the vast majority of the overweight, corduroys-wearing dope rockers, although it certainly helps. No, GM’s shake appeal is that their riffs are bigger, their songs are slinkier and sleazier, and that they write about what they know (lying to chicks, booze, dope) instead of what they think they know, like most of their stoner metal brethren (spaceship gobbledygook). Oh, and then there’s Goran Florstram’s groovy vox bubbling over the top like some narcotic sugar frosting. It’s some seriously heavy shit, brother. “Electricism” is Generous Maria’s second album, coming not so hot-on-the-heels of their blinding 2002 debut full-length, “Command of the New Rock”, and it contains all of their signature sounds, plus a dollop of heavy glam and a fresh, crisp production that yanks ‘em right out of the mud and hurls them right to the top of the Rock Mountain. “It’s Called Love” is the snakiest tune on deck, but all of ‘em will bite you, if you get close enough. And you certainly will. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Generous Maria Tthe Command Of The New Rock LP
-After the split CD with Skua the Swedish GENEROUS MARIA have changed the label, but not only that. I hadn't expected such a 70's sounding album after their first more metallic tracks on the split. Ok, the opener is closer to the older material, but the production has a greater live feeling compared with the older material. They have also taken influences from Monster Magnet, especially "All Units are Out" could be on "Superjudge" or "Dopes to Infinity" or "A Bed at the Edge of the Universe" is very close to to mid-90's Magnet. But the skillful vocals of Göran Flörstrom are saving GENEROUS MARIA before they are becoming an entertaining copy band. "Anchorage & Quito" is a very groovy fuzzy song and this song could be for all the Kyuss fans. One my faves is the relaxed and moody Doors-like "Soulflight" with additional instruments like an organ or the instrumental "Ashram of the Absolute". There's a huge 60's influence in both tracks, very psychedelic and smooth.

After the short journey into this musical period, the band switches over to the 90's with "All Good Things" and presents us their own version of Soundgarden combined with a hint of Bad Brains. "Dumdum Bullet" is an energetic groovy track, more like the old songs while "Firebug" sounds like a 70's heavy rocker. The album closes with the nearly ten minutes long "Bridge Out of Time" a slow and heavy rolling rocker with a long guitar-solo. I don't know, why they have titled the album "Command of the New Rock", because here's nothing new but GENEROUS MARIA are performing the song in a very charming and appealing way and they are fronted by a talented vocalist. If you're looking for an entertaining Hard rock album with a nice Malleus cover (remember the movie "2001"!), than check this one out. Chapters have been torn from the book of Rock and swallowed whole on this one. LP INCLUDES A HUGE POSTER AND IS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Thee Boozers/Titbits- Brotherhood 10"
-Two punk rock bands from deep in the heart of Bologna!!!THEE BOOZERS play a savage garage punk similar to the Rip Offs meets Teengenerate. The bass player is an ex member of Rappresagli. THE TITBITS play punk rock similar to the Dead Boys, ,Ramones and Angry Samoans...enjoy with the party. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- The Return Of Rock N Roll LP
-Well, "The Return..." sure came quick and I ain't talkin' 'bout no Goddamn Bathory album! No, Sweden's majestic CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT has ridden back into town, snarling & proud astride their iron horse of riffs that would make everyone from Angus Young to Dirty Power to Wayne Kramer not only nod in agreement but say, in a suitable drawl, "I believe we've got company." Some short 6 or 7 months down the line from their already etched-in-stone 2007 Top 10 entry "And The Rest Will Follow," they've gone it one better with this sonic visit to the gin mill at the center of the town called Rock N Roll. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WITH FULL COLOR COVER AND FULL COLOR PRINTED INNER SLEEVE. Awesome packaging!

THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- Cold Blood 7"
-It's obvious from songs like Cold Blood that these guys are all about a booze-soaked collision of punk and 70s influenced glammy hard rock n roll. Just don't expect any warmed-over POISON covers from this band. Their songwriting is top-notch, influenced by classic fare like THE NEW YORK DOLLS, THIN LIZZY, and MOTORHEAD all push through a caucoufonous riff heavy filter of fuck yeah. LIMITED TO 450 COPIES!!!!!

COWBOY PROSTITUTES- Pirate Town 7"
-The band is from Sweden, and it’s not surprising. That country is trying to single handedly bring the kind of KISS/Motley Crue/Hanoi Rocks amalgam of Rock back to the forefront of the industry, and everyone who likes great Rock ‘n’ Roll is better off for it. Unlike most bands of this ilk, they have stronger guitar leads and are a bit more metal overall, where the vocals are pure punk styled, basically yelling harshly on key. Swingin’ From the Fences Rock N Roll isn’t anything new, but it’s unique enough to stand apart from many of the bands playing this type of music. It’s also heavier than most bands in this genre. Very promising debut single here. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON RED VINYL. THIS SINGLE WON’T BE REPRESSED!!

V8 WANKERS/PETER PAN SPEEDROCK- Split 7"
-Finally two of Europes current longest great highspeed rock'n'roll bands together on one Split. The V8WANKERS and PETER PAN SPEEDROCK dish out two new ones each. STRICTLY LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON ACID YELLOW WAX!! DO THEY GLOW IN THE DARK.......HMMM???

THE HIGHSCHOOL LOCKERS- Never Ending Party LP/CD
-”Highschool lockers write catchy,High- energy powerpop songs,performed with a near perfect blend of control and abandon. Their music would have been raght at hom in late 1970's NYC but thankfully it's being created for the here and now today. The world needs bands like the Highschool Lockers,to remind us what Rock and Roll is supposed to sound like. A must for the punk or power pop fan! THE LP IS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON BRIGHT BUBBLEGUM PINK WAX!! First come first serve on this one. They will sell fast.

V8 WANKERS- Hell On Wheels PICTURE DISC LP
-What’s left to say about Germany’s fully tattooed showroom-antisocials that’s not yet known to anybody anyway? For 7 years these “beer-for-breakfast” rockers are synonymous for uncompromising High Speed Rock’n’Roll which still has to be matched within Germany. Hard, loud and unmistakable - just V8 Wankers! PICTURE DISC LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT- And The Rest Will Follow LP
-Back in the early 70s, bands like THE ALICE COOPER GROUP and GRAND FUNK would release album after album, sometimes even two releases in a single year bolstered by exhaustive touring and promotion. Such a work ethic is almost unheard of in today's world of sparse release schedules and milking live DVDs for three years. Well, Sweden's self-proclaimed rock gods THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT are obviously fans of old-school methods, delivering two stellar discs in 2007, "And the Rest Will Follow" and the appropriately titled "The Return of Rock 'n Roll". For those that were saddened by THE HELLACOPTERS recent announcement of their shop-closing, chin up. THE CHUCK NORRIS EXPERIMENT are ready to pick up the gauntlet with their signature blend of hard-panned AC/DC cum MC5 riffage, dueling guitar harmonies, and bludgeoning punk-inspired choruses. This band is so powerful and ambitious, it's just a little scary. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WITH FULL COLOR COVER AND FULL COLOR PRINTED INNER SLEEVE. Awesome packaging!

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN- Dead And Back LP
-Here it is....the best, most exciting punk album to come out of New York in over a decade. That's no small feat, consider how many albums have been made in that time! But 'Dead And Back' is the real McCoy. Song after song rips by with the requisite drive, energy, attitude, and smacking chops. This is punk built on guitar riffs -- mean, angry, and measured -- paired with the clean, dense production often favored by the Australians. Stellar album here from this long standing New Yaaawk powerhouse. Get it while you can EF fans, becasue this sucker came out on a small label out of Italy and was LIMITED TO ONLY 500 COPIES!!!

NINE POUND HAMMER/THE KELVINS- Singing With The Mule 7”
-The Kelvins play a powerful punk 'n' roll with the classic backline: two guitars, bass and drums. Out of the amps pummels you with a nice mix of punk (Ramones, Devil Dogs, Supersuckers), rock 'n' roll and country music (Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Hank Williams). Backing them are the masters of Cowpunk Nine Pound Hammer. The hammer crank out two new ones on this split including a cover of I’m On Fire by Jerry Lewis. Get it while you can, as this beast was LIMITED TO ONLY 666 COPIES AND EVEN COMES WITH A NINE POUND HAMMER / KELVINS STICKER!!!!

BAD MACHINE- Surfin In The City LP/CD
-Some nasty rock n roll with a Motorhead feel to it musicwise. This is down and nasty rock n roll with a raw edge to it. This isn't none of that poser rock from the 80's or any of that new rock crap on the radio. This is go for the throat ballsy rock that your mother hated. Mix Motorhead meeting old Aerosmith and just add a nasty, gritty attitude and you might find this band. Great riffs and just a nice presentation overall. This band rocks. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!! LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE.

CAPITAL SCUM- Freak Show 7"
-Capital Scum, the founders of the Hageland Hardcore movement are back. Capital Scum is an old-school band in the true sense of the word. They started in the early eighties and have 5 songs on the legendary “Alle 24 Goed” compilation from 1985. After that compilation they released a 7” in 1986 and a full length in 1987 before calling it quits in ’88.

LIMITED TO 500 COIPES .

SPIN THE BOTTLE (Canada)
Sweet Sixteens- S/T 7”
-This is Lafayette’s Sweet Sixteens debut 7”. The single starts with 2 Nobunny-esq ragers on the a-side (you know - Ramones riffs + drum machines + trashcan production) and a slow jam on the b-side. The party songs are awesome - “Sixteens Theme” featuring party-blowers, “She Said Alright” works on getting the blood going, though it is the lament - “When the Sun Comes Up” that really does shine. If you love Nobunny, Romanc Novels, Eric and the Happy Thoughts and Hunx, there is no reason why you wouldn’t love this too. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES AND WE GOT THE LAST COPIES!!! IT’S ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!!

Beat Beat- Taco Show 7”
-Not to be confused with the Georgia band with the cool haircuts of a similar name-this Austrian duo make quite a no frills, so turn it up as loud as it'll go, rock-n-roll commotion. ‘Taco Show' is full of unwashed guitar buzz anchored by a neck snapping beat while a raw throat shouts adulation for one of the things that is imperative to any trash rockers diet-tacos. The greasy and unhealthy the better-so these two pull off the lettuce, tomatoes and whatever other intruding vegetables that might be on them, throw them on the ground (Who needs to use a trash can bin anyway? All they do is cause more work for the rats that come out at night just looking for a meal. 'Washing Machine' hits hard in all it's Oblivians/Teengenerate glory that has gotta be the muddiest dirt blast around. 'Get Out Of My Life' and 'Lock The Door' share the b-side and are of the same rock-n-roll scuzz the other two songs sounding like some of the high points of the long gone Crypt and SFTRI era with a mashing of the Spaceshits more 50's-ish smash-up's and the going off the rails engine block explosion of a lost Dirtys track. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

HOLLYWOOD- Human BBQ 7”
-WOW killer hsit here. It's so noisy and punk rock it hurts. This has late-80s Alternative Tentacles or AmRep written all over it. Think of Pissed Jeans' material on Parts Unknown with a hint of the Cows or the Unsane mixed in for good measure. A side has some good advice: "Don't talk to strangers/They'll kill or rape ya." There's a phenomenon called synaesthesia where input to one sense triggers sensation in another. Well, I'm a bit of a synaesthete when I listen to this. When I hear this, I smell post-masturbation saliva on my hand, fireworks, and sweaty feet. Fucking awesome. But this now and never look back. LIMITED TO 500 ON BLACK VINYL AND WE GOT THE LAST COPIES!!! THIS 7” IS NOW OUT OF PRINT!!

Brutal Knights- My Life, My Fault 7”
-Along with anyone lucky enough to have seen this band live, I’ve been praising BRUTAL KNIGHTS’ greatness ever since I heard that Nick Flanagan (TEEN CRUD COMBO) and the Sharon brothers (HACKSAW) were talking about starting a new band. If you don’t already know, Toronto has been responsible for some of the best current punk bands going (FUCKED UP, CAREER SUICIDE, TERMINAL STATE) and now BRUTAL KNIGHTS. Their "Not Fun" 7" (also on Deranged) raised a few eyebrows but failed to really capture their sound and intensity. Luckily, this singles is not only a huge improvement with a solid mix/mastering job, but it also includes the bands best material to date making this a total shredder. I expect this will surprise most who give this record a spin. Play it loud! THESE ARE COPIES OF THE REPRESS OF THIS SINGLE LIMITED TO 500 ON BLACK VINYL AND WE GOT THE LAST COPIES!!! THIS 7” IS NOW OUT OF PRINT AND WON’T BE REPRESSED!!

Fashion Fashion and the Image Boys- Scissor Jihad 7”
-Fashion Fashion checks back in after a long hiatus. Their songs on that split with the Functional Blackouts were pretty great, and this bad boy shows em continuing on in the same parkin lot swillin, reverb drenched direction. You can hear the sneer and moronic brilliance of the Angry Samoans as sung through an echo chamber and spat back out to the raucious noise of the Pagans or Crime. If you liked any of their earlier recordings this ones a must have. 4 new ones here and packed in a pretty damn snazzy 7” jacket. LIMITED TO 500 ON BLACK VINYL!!

Der Submarine Racers- Space Burrito 7”
-With the trash-rock aesthetic reaching it's peak of effectiveness in the late 90s, it's with great reluctance that the genre will ever cough up another stellar addition to its filthy annals, especially anyone from the already terribly trashy area of Los Angeles. So it is with much hesitance that the doors to the budget rock phenomenon are forced open just enough to allow Der Submarine Racers access to the 5 karat gold-plated kingdom previously held up by the likes of the Rip Offs, Mummies, Spoiled Brats and Supercharger. This debut 7" by Der Submarine Racers (the hilarious polar opposite of Chicago's Submarine Races) on the party-crashing Spin The Bottle label came waltzing through our stained-glass office doors with the cocksure confidence of Elka Zolot holding hands with Shane White, and within seconds of the title track's speaker-crunching racket soaking into our soft-boiled brains, we deducted that it's back-to-basics lo-fi scree drizzled over a glowing hot plate of noisy repetition that will suck you in faster than a South City streetwalker with a nervous tic. "Space Burrito" may be a metaphor that you're just not quite used to using yet, but once you incorporate it's mild retardation into your amateur comedy routine, it's all gravy from there. What exactly is a Space Burrito? It really doesn't matter unless it causes convulsions similar to Der Submarine Racers' shit-fi template of aural vomit, and after you hear it only once, just like "The Macarena" and "Pac -Man Fever" before it, the song will be stuck with you forever. As they wash away your sins with lavish layers of luxurious scuzz, Der Submarine Racers fill your head with visions of food-stained underwear tied around your head while trying to drive a car with a broken windshield in the rain, or more explicitly, the exuberant collision of fun and disaster. The b-side's "Skatebored" continues the tradition yet doesn't stick to your ribs the way "Space Burrito" does, but after that, what else could really matter?

X! RECORDINGS (USA)
V/A- Shiftless Decay: The New Sounds Of Detroit LP
-Compilation featuring Tyvek, Human Eye, Terrible Twos, Little Claw, Heroes & Villains, Frustrations, Fontana, THTX, Odd Clouds, The Mahonies, Johnny Ill Band, and Tentacle Lizardo. Truly NEW SOUNDS from Detroit... out there, on the sidewalk, in outerspace, in the fuzz left on the record needle, falling apart at the metal seams. Killer new comp. documenting the current Detroit punk, garage, fringe scene. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Terrible Twos- S/T LP/CD
-The spine-cracking debut LP by Detroit's TERRIBLE TWOS. "With all of the jabbering on about their collision of the PIRANHA's' greatest moments, along with an acidic and breathtaking stab into the 21st century's limitless punk fusions, it's without a doubt, one of the Motor City's best full-length releases in a long time. Almost as if the power and slanted viciousness of their odd angles were as eruptive as an unpredictable volcano, the Terrible Twos really pulled it together into a tight foot-long of furious and erratic punk carnage that will be tough to follow. With songwriting that angrily stands on it's own without deriving any more than a nuance here and there, this album emerges as an agitated ball of organ-fried ferocity that always seems to be spinning out of control, yet brings it all back home with a consistency and audacious blasting that's exactly what the world needs right now. Add in dual-fired vocals from Craig and Chris raging from both sides, and it's got the momentum to creep right into your skull and dissolve into your corrupted core value system before you even have the chance to resist their writhing and scurrilous agenda of covertly taking over your impressionable mind."-Victim of Time. The Terrible Twos are better than you, they're better than your entire life.

Fontana- I Feel Like A Jerk 7”
-Sometimes I too get the sense that rock 'n' roll is pretty much dead. I don't just mean dead and buried with a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the tombstone. I mean dead, laying in the gutter and getting splashed with rainwater by every car that drives by it. Then little nuggets of hope come along and spur me to keep on keeping on. Who is the latest you ask? Well, this band… Fontana who dish out a pretty awesome debut. "Dumb Luv" is a quiet Brit-sounding aloof and near goofy punker with a very Raw Records vibe and fun-sounding whooping vocals. "(Having A) Fun Time" exhibits some thuggy guitar-rock feel with elements of classic Detroit rock energy. Two ace A-Side cuts. "You're Obscene" fills the flip side with a Frustrations-like busy-ness, with a quiet song-within-a-song guitar interlude/workout bookended by energetic Tyvek-like DIY punkitude. A nice companion to their more "famous" stablemates.

Terrible Twos- Radical Tadpoles 7”
-X! Records continues it's perfect batting average with the "Radical Tadpoles" EP. Still feeling the Piranhas vibe, but a little more space rock than jaZzZzZzZzzz oriented. "Chinky Glass Eye" and "Animage Break" have some downright pretty synth sounds working against it (for it) that'll speak to the Dr.Who or Wendy Carlos nerd in all of you. Like some shortwave radio transmission interfering with yer stereo. Downright operatic in a garbage can prog-punk sort of way. "Nap Time" starts off with some grossly out of tune guitar squelch and fluttery keys that gives way to some epic grand scale madness akin to say, Those pesky Human Eye singles mentioned earlier. Well, damn....just buy this thing. Pronto. Oh yeah...that's not a locked groove at the end either. A top five single of the year, guarantee.”TERMINAL BOREDEOM

Frustrations- Glowin Red Pills LP/CD
-What fantastic noisy mess of gangly rock n roll here. Glowing Red Pills is a frenzied punch-up of mad tub-pounding and a descending guitar riffs that doesnt ever stop descending. It only interrupts itself for the occasional off-time note bending or pick slides. The monochromatic lead vocal (see mouth yelps) reveals a whack and staccato that wouldve given a young Richard Hell wood. A grind of the mean reds, er, the blanket bleakness of bored days in heat with No Wave nods, and nearly indecipherable lyrics that are as unsettling as some merciless and doomed neighborhood kid who plucks wings off mayflies. Its no surprise that Matt Smith and Timmy Vulgar (Clone Defects, Human Eye) are yakking blue streaks about these Royal Oak teens. RECCOMENDED!!

NO FUN RECORDS (USA)
FUZZTONES “Horny As Hell” LP/CD
-What else can be said about the Fuzztones? As fans worldwide know, the band has achieved legendary status as cult faves during their 3-decade career. Their fiery brand of Garage-Psych-Punk pre-dated the entire "Garage Revival" of the 1980s and has influenced hundreds of groups, some quite famous. No doubt Fuzztones' fans expected to ogle sexy strippers onstage when they attended 2007’s "Horny As Hell" tour, advertising "Very Special Horny Guests!" What they got instead was the mighty Fuzztones with a killer HORN SECTION! To top it off, the line-up featured the return of veteran Fuzz-monster "Mad" Mike, beating the crap out of the drums, just like he did from 1986 to 1992, and together with bassist Screamin' Bo Pille's steady throb, creating the rhythm section from Hell! Their huge new sound went over so well that Rudi decided to take the band into a recording studio at the end of the tour, and record the set. To emphasize the new arrangements, Lana Loveland switched to wailing Hammond C3 organ, while Rudi Protrudi and Lenny Silver trade stinging leads and driving rhythms throughout! And finally, as if that's not enough, a four-piece female backing group was utilized to provide the sassy backing vocals. The band recorded 17 songs, including future favorites "Garden of My Mind" and the Pretty Things' "Alexander", as well as brand new versions of Fuzztones classics (wait 'til you hear "Ward 81" and "She's Wicked" done "Big Band" style!). Last but not least, Rudi's hypnotic vocal delivery - just as energetic and vital as when he formed the band almost 3 decades ago! No Fun Records, appropriately based in the Detroit area, is delighted to release The Fuzztones' “Motown” album, definitely one of the highlights of their career. Also appropriately titled "Horny as Hell." Features outstanding artwork by Rudi Protrudi and insert featuring extra photographs and information.

LOS PEYOTES "Cavernicola!" LP/CD
-Let’s start by saying that Los Peyotes are well-seasoned veterans at what they do. They have been performing for over a decade, which has taken them from performing at the most obscure venues in the Buenos Aires underground scene, to the biggest European garage festivals. So much so, that the band is currently the must-see act in the international 60s garage-punk scene. One could say the boys are purists when it comes to their image: Beatle boots, velvet vests, perfectly styled bangs, and primitive bone necklaces. Their sound is also somewhat traditional, but it definitely features its own rendition of the Farfisa organ, the Phantom guitars, Vox tube amps, and fuzz pedals. Through their fresh compositions on “Cavernicola,” Los Peyotes truly do an outstanding job at gathering the best elements of each era in the genre. Their influences reveal an important dose of 60s Latin Beat, Los Yorks, Los Mockers, and Los Saicos-style, but also of 60s British punk, The Seeds, The Chocolate Watchband, and 13th Floor Elevators-style. Still, they manage to pay homage to all of their favorite references of the 80s garage revival scene such as Fuzztones, Chesterfield Kings, Miracle Workers, and beyond. Even better, one can pick up on just the right amount of 70s Psych in the mix (Traffic Sound anyone?), which ultimately makes their recordings much more complex, with obscure undertones. Their lyrics are raw and intense, obsessing over constant themes of love, hate, death, and voodoo, where strong emotions and intoxicating rituals become one. Their masterpiece is completed with impeccable cover art, well worth paying retail price for the record just for the cover alone Los Peyotes have clearly delivered a classic-to-be album for fans of the genre. We are confident that this record will live among extensive vinyl record collections of lovers of 60s garage punk, along with their collection of Los Saicos singles, and their classic titles by The Cynics.

LOS KAHUNAS "Otro Reverberante Encuentro Con" CD
-Just two years after their participation in the No Fun Records split album “Waves of Reverb, Sea of Fuzz. Vol. 1,” this prestigious instro outfit is back at the label with a second album “Otro Reverberante Encuentro con Los Kahunas.” The record joins an extensive international catalog of top-notch artists from a variety of garage scenes from around the world such as Flaming Sideburns (Finland), Forgotten Boys (Brazil), The Defectors (Denmark), Manganzoides (Peru), and Motosierra (Uruguay) among others. No Fun’s latest releases include the complete recordings by no other than Argentinean 60s Beat legends Los Gatos Salvajes. In this new release, these four reverb, tremolo, and fuzz addicts continue to deliver pure instro surf. This time around their compositions, sound, and performances are more refined, while they still keep the vintage sound they so much embrace. Along these lines, this record delivers a great variety of moods: steaming compositions such as “6G15,” “California Kustom,” and “Daredevil;” refreshingly happy tunes such as “Candy Smile,” and “Bakos, el Terrible;” lounge epics such as “Ocean Boulevard;” sentimental ballads such as “Deeper than the Sea,” “Verdemar;” an acoustic version “Wave of Love;” and classic covers such as “The Hearse” (The Astronauts), “Heads Up” (The Lively Ones), “Lanky Bones” (Eddie and the Showmen), “The Rise & Fall of Flingel Bunt” (The Shadows),” and “The Creeper” (The Ventures). Special mention goes out to the wide variety of impressive deluxe guest musicians on the record: Gustavo “Chizzo” Napoli (from national act La Renga), who contributed an outstanding guitar solo; Sr. Flavio (from internationally renown, grammy-winning group Los Fabulosos Cadillacs), who contributed some amazing standup bass; Ricardo Harbek (from no other than popular mainstream acts such as Pastoral and Victor Heredia), who contributed decades of experience on keyboards; and Luis Taboada (Fernando Goin Trio, Historia del Crimen), who contributed some very elegant acoustic guitar work.Currently, Los Kahunas are experiencing a particularly interesting moment in their career. After sharing the stage with national old school act Massacre at The Roxy, the band gears up to their official record release party scheduled at the traditional Unione e Benevolenza club. The record release party will mark the beginning of a promotional tour that will take them to major cities such as La Plata, Rosario, Cordoba, Mar del Plata, and the Patagonia region. The tour will end with the popular “Surf Party” festival, where the band will perform with Daddy-O Grande, legendary guitar player for Los Straitjackets. Ladies and Gentlemen, No Fun Records proudly presents Los Kahunas’ deluxe surf explosion “Otro Reverberante Encuentro con Los Kahunas.”

LOS GATOS SALVAJES "Complete Recordings" CD
-Los Gatos Salvajes started out in 1964 under the name of The Wild Cats. They switched to using the Spanish version of their name when Litto Nebbia joined them and the band moved to Buenos Aires. Once in the big city, they were hired by a national TV station to be showcased live, where they recorded a few singles. In 1965 they released their self-titled first album, which manifested and immortalized the musical wealth this young band was capable of, even when it was based on the simplicity of their compositions, as it often happens with such things. No Fun Records puts on its best pair of Beatle boots to welcome this CD, that features outstanding artwork, especially designed to reflect the spirit of 1965, and photographs never seen before. It also features special liner notes by Litto Nebbia y Ciro Fogliatta, and a total of 27 tracks, which make up the entire album, all of the band's singles, TV performances, live recordings, and home demos. Absolutely everything the band ever recorded.

THE AVATARS "Never A Good Time" LP/CD
-After a catchy single produced by Jeff Meier (Detroit Cobras, Rocket 455), hundreds of shows, and performances at international festivals, The Avatars are back to deliver their sonic debut album that documents the band’s intense live sound while adding to it with a mix of local Detroit talent from John Szymanski (SSM, The Hentchmen) on piano and organ, Eric Stollsteimer (The Elevations, Mondo Mod) on vibes, and Jeremy Abbey (Superdot) on saxophone. The 10 rocking tracks bristle with up-beat pop energy that picks up the legacy that The Ramones, The Romantics and Nikki Corvette started 3 decades ago. The Avatars add their own fresh sound to the best of 60s garage, the spirit of ’77, and 80s power pop. Recorded at Ghetto Recorders in Detroit by Motor City hit maker Jim Diamond, and produced by John Speck (The Fags). Guaranteed to always make you have a good time.

THE DEFECTORS "Give In And Creep Out" CD
-The Defectors care: for girls, for cars, for cigarettes and beer and fuzzed out rock'n'roll! Straight out of the cold Nordic winter comes one of today's hottest bands. Calling themselves "the evil fuzzkings of Denmark," The Defectors have come to rock your world. They invade the US via this CD that combines the best of their latest album "Turn Me On" and several hand-picked tracks from their upcoming European release on Bad Afro, which show the band’s more creepy side. These guys have already achieved major recognition in Scandinavia and are now ready to take on the rest of the world with their brand of dark garage-punk, full of fuzz and farfisa, very reminiscent of the Fuzztones, The Lyres and even The Cramps. Smoking or non-smoking? Smoking, definitely. And steaming, roaring, ripping and mind-blowing as well. Garage-punk rockers, don’t miss out, this is IT!

THE CYRIL LORDS "Motherland" CD
-Someone had to release the brilliant debut album by this well-established Detroit band, and so we did! Originally known as the Bloody Hollys, The Cyril Lords have made a name for themselves and have a solid career behind them due to a long history of rocking live shows and singles, that gained them praise from internationally acclaimed publications, and the opportunity to share bills with the likes of Andre Williams, The Cramps, Link Wray, The Datsuns, and Detroit Cobras, to name a few. The band waited a long time to put out this debut album, and the wait was well worth it considering the final recording is probably going to be remembered as one of the best records to have come out of the Motor City. Produced to Rock'n'Roll perfection by no other than Mr. Al Sutton.

LOS KAHUNAS/THE INVISIBLE SURFERS "Waves Of Reverb, Sea Of Fuzz" CD
-We are kicking off this fine instrumental trip with Los Kahunas from Argentina, a traditional instro surf combo that plays originals to recreate, impeccably, the golden era of Surf music, accompanied by Reverb, occasional Fuzz, Fender gear, and polished drum rolls. The other half of this release comes straight from the beaches of Athens, Greece by the name of The Invisible Surfers. Their music is a bit more aggressive, and their Surf sound more modern, with tons of Fuzz. One can even hear the Hellenic influence in some of the tracks composed by these old school rockers, who come to us out of the ashes of legendary bands from their native land. Internationally renowned Surf, Tiki art, comics, Mexican Lucha Libre artist Dr. Alderete was in charge of the cover art. This explosive split release will break waves for other gems to follow in the series. Dive in!

MANGANZOIDES "Radio Komodo" CD
-At last! The long awaited return of these Peruvian cavemen for the delight of all lovers of truly primitive (Latin) Garage-Punk. Manganzoides are back with this 2nd full length that's even more scandalous and outrageous than their debut album. This release is filled with previously unreleased tracks, all recorded between 2002 and 2003, in addition to tracks that had been released as part of an obscure tape the band put out in 1998, which had never before been put out on CD format. Here you can find a high dosis of fuzz, wicked keyboard sounds and lyrics not recommended for puritans. In a nutshell, here we bring you more of what Manganzoides knows how to do best. Los Saicos of the 21 century? Straigh outta Lima, Peru.

MILK N HERPES (USA)
Mosquito Bandito- Hello From Haiti 7”
-One man bandit Mosquito Bandito checks back in with his best record to date. Hard to believe all this mess comes from one person. While smashing a snare, bass drum and tambourine with his bare feet, molesting his guitar and singing like a possessed angel, Mosquito Bandito belts out 6 creapy crawly rock n roll gems on this new one. What does it all sound like? It sounds like five men. People name typical suspects when trying to describe Mosquito Bandito: The Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators, Black Lips, The Falcons, Oblivians, The Sonics. This is a must for any fan of real rock n' roll. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES WITH HOME MADE COVERS!!

Fontana- Not A Leg To Stand On 7”
-Out of the damaged punk rock scene in Detroit Michigan land of Red Red Red, the Piranhas and Clone Defects comes their bastard child of rock n roll, Fontana. Practicing non-stop with drug addicts, bums, and people off the streets as their audience Fontana have perfected their sound of damaged, and never to be fixed, punk rock. 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. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Dead Ghosts- What To Do 7”
- Surprisingly worthwhile two-songer here from a band I know nothing about. Dead Ghosts inhabit the mid-ground betwixt Demon’s Claws more country-rock stuff and maybe the Black Lips’ more haunted BFTG moments. "What To Do" is a stunningly catchy and upbeat number, with some sweet guitar pluck-and-jangle and a great little (almost)harmonized doo-woppy chorus that rolls along nicely. "God Only Knows" is darker and slower, a little more country-sounding, with some minimal backbeat from just a couple of sticks. Really enjoyable, mellow but not wimpy and just low-fi enough. This is a 2nd press of the singles and is LIMITED TO 150 COPIES WITH AN ALTERNATE COVER FROM THE FIRST PRESS!!

-Dinosaur And The Missing Link- S/T 7”: Import Price
- Taking into account the then-recent discovery of methane in the atmospheres of Jupiter and the other giant planets, Dinosaur And The Missing Link postulated that the infant Earth had possessed a strongly reducing atmosphere, containing methane, ammonia, rock and roll, and water vapor. And these, these 4 songs were the raw materials extracted from the Spits, Oblivians, Reatards and GG Alling extracted for the evolution of life. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

SPITTLE RECORDS (Italy)
V/A- "Goot From The Boot" 2x CD
-In the early eighties, when tattoos were still considered taboo and the only squats in Italy were the "Virus" in Milan and the "Victor Charlie" in Pisa, bands like Putrid Fever and Funny Fashion ruled the punk scene. This is the long awaited reissue for this seminal and groundbreaking 1984 compilation of Italian hardcore, punk and new wave.

PTRASH RECORDS (Germany)
The Fatals - Seven Inches CD
-Good God DAMN does this shit sound great!!! Seriously, I think the Fatals have taken the trash rock aesthetic to a whole new apex of awesomeness. Since the records do have the most perfect blown out production I’ve heard in ages, I could care less about what they would sound like if they recorded at Ghetto Recorders or something. But the production is only part of the puzzle as to what makes the Fatals so bedazzling, beguiling, and balls-out bombastic. “Slave My Soul” does just what the title says thanks to a punishing riff and bone-crushing beat. Yow. The next song, “Need a Bitch” is more of a slow burner, which is appropriate since from the title one would assume it’s about a blues we’ve all had on one occasion or another. “I Wanna Dance” is another slice of the desperate, (likely) drug-addled, fast paced dementia that I’m coming to expect from the Fatals. This CD includes13 songs from their long out of print 7" ‘s plus an unreleased bonus track! The CD comes with folded SILKSCREEN SLEEVES, only 500 CD`s made and this CD IS LONG OUT OF PRINT. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE.

CONTAMINATED RECORDS (USA)
Black Rose Band– Hot Box 7"
-I first saw KING LOUIE in New Orleans 1995 with the plaid blazer clad ROYAL PENDELTONS, with a 60's grown out bowl haircut and a furious voice doing backup vocals from his drum kit he drove the PENDELTONS, styled to imitate 60's garage frat rock much like early Nuggets bands, sans any hippie-ness. He added punk to this band, while Matt the Guitar player did back flips off stage. KING LOUIE has written some of today's greatest punk garage hits in the PERSUADERS, KAJUN SS, his One Man Band, and loads of unreleased projects like Loose DIAMONDS and KONDORD. He's back in BLACK ROSE BAND with duel guitar leads and killer songs and his most cohesive and productive line up ever. The sound brings to mind Slade, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, with the Creole New Orleans influence. Live it rips the corpse of Rock n Roll out of it's grave and forces it to be a dancing clapping fist pumping zombie again. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

INFINITY RECORDS (USA)
Geisha Girls – In The Monotone 7"
-Geisha Girls are three non-girls playing unique, original punk rock that stands far above the hordes of like-minded guitar slingers out there. These OC critical darlings have mastered the art of touching from a distance with their icy take on punk of bands like Wire, Mission of Burma, 45 Grave and The Wipers. I know you hear that a lot these days, but this is a band that actually lives up to those comparisons and makes something new instead of just aping the sounds of a bygone era. Geisha Girls are rad. Seriously.

TEMPLECOMB RECORDS (USA)
The Templars- Clockwork Orange Horror Show 10”
-For nearly 15 years, NYC's the TEMPLARS have dominated as the #1 most-popular skinhead/Oi! band in the world. Live appearances across North America and Europe over the past decade have earned the band a worldwide cult audience that fanatically collects the bands many releases. Originally released in 1995 as a double 7", Clockwork Orange Horrorshow ranks among some of the most sought-after material. For this reissue, the original EP has been remastered with an added bonus track, and repackaged as a limited edition 10" picture disc, with the original cover illustration by noted European artist Alteau. This new version of Clockwork Orange Horrorshow will be a must-have for both new and veteran TEMPLARS fans. THIS 10” IS LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!

CUT THROAT RECORDS (USA)
The Monocles- Out Of Your Mind 7”
-The Monocles tap into punk circa 1977 or so. Their songs consist of a single driving layer of frenetic energy, each of the three musicians moving in a single and deliberate direction at the same quick pace. Hey, it worked for the Adverts, right? And it works for the Monocles too, 30 plus years later. While none of the songs on Out of Your Mind blaze a new trail in punk rock, each effectively conveys the dissatisfied state of disaffected youth for which punk has long been known. And it’s pretty damn fun to boot! Awesome looking Mitch Clem cover art. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Rattus- Invades The USA 7”
-Ripping live on the radio set from this legendary Finnish hardcore band recorded on their 2004 US tour. Great sound quality, and if you saw these guys on that tour you know the performance was full-on raging. Definitely essential for any Rattus fan but also a great place to start if you're not familiar with this legendary band. Killer looking artwork by Daniel Shaw! 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Pat Todd And The Rankoutsiders- Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me Baby 7”
-Our old pal Pat Todd, best known as the guy that fronted The Lazy Cowgirls for more years than many of us could ever hope to remember, is back with a tight band and more importantly an abolutely stellar single! Material wise, this is pretty much what you might expect based on Pat’s long standing musical lineage. ‘Don’t Worry Bout Me Baby’ is a balls-out country tinged rocker. On this flip is ‘Idle Time’ a mid tempo "cryin-in-my-beer" ballad that’s absolutely perfectly written. Of course it takes a top-notch songwriter to pull off songs like these and although fame has pretty much eluded our hero, folks in the know have always held Pat and his music near to their hearts.

I remember a conversation I had with Pat a few years back where he very candidly relieved his musical aspirations to me. As you might imagine, it was a bit heartbreaking, but the main thing I came away with was at sense of awe at his sheer determination. Even as he approached and passed fifty years of age, it was clear that he would never give up on rock and roll, and you'd have to already be dead not to be inspired by that. I recall that at one point Pat said, "Why can't I be on the Tonight Show?" and honestly I couldn't think of any reason why he shouldn't be. For once I'd love to see success go to the short, bald and thoroughly enjoyable man that does this with passionate, determination. Christ knows he deserves it. I mean you literally can't pay any more dues than he already has. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON SWIRLY/SMOKEY GRAY MARBLE WAX!!

Born Liars- Ragged Island LP
-If 'punk rock' and 'rock & roll' are synonymous in your book, pick up this second full-length by Texas rawkers The Born Liars. Unconcerned with anyone's preocupation with the past, the songs on "Ragged Island" plunge headfirst into the mucky rock coast without concern for their safety, or yours. Never an homage, these are original rock & roll tunes played with the same virility and volume as the best punk and roll bands of yore. The Real Kids, The Lyres, even a little 'Down By The Jetties' can be heard here. The new amphetamine sulfate music, if you will. Only a band this bold-faced could get away with the freshly-wounded ballad "How It Gets At Night" or the bright-eyed but nervy pop of "Cool Your Jets" without looking like pansies. To the contrary, after the first listen, I was ready to trade in my patent pumps for a raggedy denim jacket and black leather ankle boots. Take me boys, I'm yours. LP LIMITED TO 520 COPIES and CD coming on Rank Outsider Records!!!

The Drunks - Speed Metal Blues 7"
-Yeah that’s right suckers the Drunks debut platter is here!! They’ve been shit talked, shit stalked, had shit done, shit broken, had shit caught on fire, had shit stolen, had shit pawned and finally had SHIT RECORDED!! Heavy lethal rock n roll ala Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Hellacopters and the Chuck Norris Experiment. LIMITED TO 500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON SWIRLY GRAY MARBLE WAX AND COMES WITH A STICKER!!!

Teen Cool/ Gun Crazy split 7"
-Remember Teen Cool? The Houston/Austin punk group was one of the most underrated/overlooked/unappreciated bands of the late '90s/early '00s. They had two 7-inches on Mortville Records, plus a CD EP that was one of the very best things ever put out by Pelado Records (and that's saying something!). Teen Cool disbanded in 2003, but Cutthroat Records has unearthed two of the band's unreleased songs and put them out there for the world to enjoy. Sharing this piece of vinyl with Teen Cool is Gun Crazy, another Houston band with Mortville Records ties. Gun Crazy does the raunchy punk n' roll thing really well. Straight-up kick-you-in-the-ass hellfire punk with a decidedly "rawk!" edge thanks to Ex Raunch Hands, Mike Mariconda’s, production touches. Reminds me of all those old Junk Records bands, except better. "Factory Line" has dark, foreboding undertones, while "Talk To Jane" flat-out scorches! RECCOMENDED FOR FANS OF THE ILK.

Born Liars-Go Back One Day 7"
-Based out of Houston and made up of former members of Gun Crazy, the Born Liars offer straight ahead, punked-up rock and roll, mixing the cruder elements of 60s garage rock. Influenced by bands like the Kinks, Chuck Berry, Sonics, Johnny Thunders, the Saints and the Flamin' Groovies, they really hit home like some of their Texan rock n roll fore fathers the Sons Of Hercules, Mullens, Motards and Inhalants. Damn promising singles after their impressive debut. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!!

DITCH WATER RECORDS (USA)

No keyboard fat, no experimental filler. Not a band you stand in the back and cross your arms to. This is dancing and wearing-a-little-beer music. Truly top of the trash-heap rock-n-roll.

A nice diamond in the rough here!

NAT RECORSD (Japan)
Gobblinz- London 7"
-London is a punk/powerpop masterpiece while the flip Women In Love leans more to punk. Both tracks are of course awesome. Women In Love even reminds me a bit of The Stranglers(which happens to be one of my favourite bands). The band soon got signed by Pinnacle and their first release ‘London’ sold well. However after a management split the Band recorded the ‘Communique’ EP which is now one of the most sought after 7” new wave releases. 7” WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT!

Gobblinz- Communique 7"
-A limited official reissue of GOBBLINZ ultra-rare 1979 second 7-inch (recorded in ‘77). Only 100 copies of the original were packaged with sleeves and given to distribution. Three tracks of power-pop/punk rock. Packaged with the original artwork. 7” WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT!

HUBBLE BUBBLE- S/T CD $20.00 + shipping!!
-A kick-ass reissue from Belgium/Brussels number one 1970s punk band of all time. HUBBLE BUBBLE were ALAIN "ALAN VON BUR" BUREAU, ROGER "JUNIOR" JOURET, and DANIEL "DEE" MASSART. The band released two singles and two albums in '78 and '79 on Sinus Records. And Jouret went on to fame as new wave pop legend PLASTIC BERTRAND. The band's debut LP is considered one of the best European Punk records of the era.

HUBBLE BUBBLE- Faking CD $20.00 + shipping!!
-YES!!! The second album is finally available again. Super mix of punk/glam and sub-Kinks pop! As dumb and great as the later Big Ball and the Great White Idiot albums, but cathcier. First legit reissue, expensive and worth it. Swell liner notes.

Goblinz- S/T CD
-Formed in 1975 in Peterborough UK GOBBLINZ were STEVE DUNMORE (drums), IAN GRAHAM (guitar, vocals), DAVE COLTON (bass), and CHRIS ALLEN (keys, vocals). All had spent several years playing clubs and pubs in a previous band but with Ian's songwriting they decided to change direction and went into Beck Studios Wellingborough in 1976 to recorded a demo. The band soon got signed by Pinnacle and their first release "London" sold well. However after a split with their management the band recorded the Communique EP which is now one of the most sought after 7-inch new wave releases. Ian left the band in late 1978 to form THE NAME who became well known on the UK Mod scene, Dave joining a few months later. This CD retrospective includes the tracks from both of the band's singles, along with eight unreleased gems. Packaged with a 20-page booklet with photos, lyrics, etc.

Normals- 1978 Recordings CD $20.00 + shipping!!
-Fuck!!! I first heard the Normals ‘Almost Ready 7” about 10 years ago and I never get tired of listening to it! The guitars are so massive on that 7?! Too bad these guys never got their day in the sun (see the liner notes on this retrospective). They had a bunch of great unreleased songs. About 9 years ago (before the reissue CD came out) someone taped me a 90 minute Normals cassette he compiled that has the whole unreleased “Vacation Is For You” LP, a bunch of live stuff, some other studio demos, as well as a long interview with the band from 1980 after they relocated to New York City. Some of the unreleased stuff ended up on this reissue CD and the sound quality was a lot better than the cassette of mine. Fantastic retrospective here. Almost Ready is one of the best punk songs ever! Great 19 song retrospective from this killer New Oreans based band.

Accused- Video Archives Volume 1 DVD
-Live from the slam-pit, punk rock footage from the personal stash box of "The Kings of Splatter" THE ACCUSED! A bunch of songs from a variety of weird sources make this home video collection a head-thrashing rollercoaster fide of noise, mayhem and pure fun as seen through the usually bloodshot eyes of the "Splatterheads" who make up their loyal fans. From 1986-1991, Seattle's The Accused cranked-out a constant barrage of albums, singles, and globe spanning tours with a thrash/metal/punk/horror - themed brand of music they coined "Splatter Rock." Video Archives Vol 1 is the ultimate collection of rarely (if ever) seen video footage of THE ACCUSED live in concert during those action-packed world-dominating years. All the stage-diving, intensity and mayhem delivered in their live shows is re-lived here. Also, exclusive to SWV, THE ACCUSED boys share some personal "home movies" of off-stage antics! It adds a very strange and not-so inviting glimpse into "their world," where they play as hard offstage as they do on! The Accused glory years are brilliantly edited and captured here for posterity! 38 Songs from over a dozen different tour dates!

BOOT
Negativland- U2 7”
-Negativland's next project was the infamous U-2 EP, with samples from American Top 40 host Casey Kasem. In 1991, Negativland released a single with the title "U2" displayed in very large type on the front of the packaging, and "Negativland" in a smaller typeface. An image of the Lockheed U-2 spy plane was also on the single cover.

The songs within were parodies of the group U2's well-known 1987 song, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", including kazoos and extensive sampling of the original song. The song "The Letter U And The Numeral 2" features a musical backing to an extended profane rant from well-known disc jockey Casey Kasem, lapsing out of his more polished and professional tone during a frustrating rehearsal which had gone out to many stations as raw feed and was taped by several engineers, who had been passing it around for a number of years. One of Kasem's milder comments was "These guys are from England and who gives a "explitive"?" (U2's members are in fact from the Republic of Ireland).

U2's label Island Records quickly sued Negativland, claiming that placing the word "U2" on the cover violated trademark law, as did the song itself. Island Records also contended that the single was an attempt to deliberately confuse U2 fans, awaiting the impending release of Achtung Baby, into purchasing what they believed was a new U2 album called Negativland.

In June, 1992, R. U. Sirius, publisher of the magazine Mondo 2000, came up with an interesting idea. Publicists from U2 had contacted him regarding the possibility of interviewing Dave "The Edge" Evans, hoping to promote U2's impending multi-million dollar Zoo TV Tour, which featured found sounds and live sampling from mass media outlets (things for which Negativland had been known for some time). Sirius, unbeknownst to Edge, decided to have his friends Joyce and Hosler of Negativland conduct the interview. Joyce and Hosler, fresh from Island's lawsuit, peppered the Edge with questions regarding his ideas about the use of sampling in their new tour, and the legality of using copyrighted material without permission. Midway through the interview, Joyce and Hosler revealed their identities as members of Negativland. An embarrassed Edge reported that U2 were bothered by the sledgehammer legal approach Island Records took in their lawsuit, and furthermore that much of the legal wrangling took place without U2's knowledge: "by the time we [U2] realized what was going on it was kinda too late, and we actually did approach the record company on your [Negativland's] behalf and said, 'Look, c'mon, this is just, this is very heavy...'" Island Records reported to Negativland that U2 never authorized samples of their material; Evans' response was, "that's complete bollocks, there's like, there's at least six records out there that are direct samples from our stuff."

This is the band’s first 7” single, and it features two songs you can drunkenly smash up your apartment to. The A-side brings us “Chicane”, a song about broken hearts and resentment.

Poison Arrows - Sticky Situations 7"

Featuring former members of The Heart Attacks, this new band plays furious power poppy, punk with glam roots that is catchy and anthemic as all hell and raging with attitude. Power pop with attitude? Definitely. The A-side “Sticky Situations”, about the trouble we all love to somehow get into, will be that foot-tapping, hot jam stuck in your head and stuck on your turntable.

Makabert Fynd- S/T 7"
-This one comes out of left field a bit for Flat Black. While the label is known for releasing youthful, energetic hardcore from southern California, this is a heavy-as-fuck face-ripper from Sweden that is very much working within the tradition of that country's great history of heavy crust (Anti-Cimex, Avskum, Skitkids, etc.). If you're the kind of person who hunts down obscure Japanese hardcore records, this 7" is for you... recommended! 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Crucial Cause- Blood Money 7"
-This thrashcore band comes back with another ep full of seething NY via Japan inspired hardcore. A blistering, balls-out sonic attack of their trademark bastardization of frantic DIY Japanese/mid 80’s NYC-influenced hardcore mixed with heavy, sludgy, bombastic MOTORHEADish bass salvos and some startling, iconoclastic guitar riffing. With a new guitar player in the band we see an even faster band with a slight metallic edge to the guitar work. A handful of the tracks are rerecorded songs from their original demo. Another great release from a great band. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Bad Antics- The Wave 7”
-New EP by this band who is from Fullerton, California and actually sounds like it. Think Adolescents , JFA and DI to the max. You know their debut on Sorry State. And impressively as it is, this ones even better. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!!

Dogends- S/T LP
-GREAT debut LP from Ventura CA's Dogends. These guys dish the good. A definately nod to Mystic style hardcore ala JFA, Ill Reptue, Dr. Know etc. Its a solid skate-core record with some drive and a crazy sense of humor. Impressive shit here.

Bad Man- Neighborhood Watch LP
-New-ish band from california that spits out this raging LP full of ultra fast and tight thrashy punk killers. This band brings to mind ILL REPUTE, DRI and DEEP WOUND. It's that extra fast style that takes it to the next level and isn't just trying to sound like every one else. Side A is killer studio tracks, Side 2 is rip roaring raw demo tracks. If you like DLA, imagine them on 45 and get this! It rules.

ANS - SUCCESS AT LAST CD
-Early material from this Texas skate rock band. Taking cues from Black Flag and JFA, this is the beginning of ANS, when they were known as Defaced. Great songs about skateboarding and contemporary issues from one of the best hardcore bands of today.

BAD REACTION - HAD IT COMING CD
-Faster and tighter than ever before, Bad Reaction compile their two most recent vinyl releases on one CD. Building upon their Zero Boys style sound, you hear a more fierce Bad Reaction but still with great songwriting and solid musicianship to give you their best material yet. Mix Zero Boys, the bass work of the Descendents and the speed of Uniform Choice and you will have a good idea of what this sounds like.

BAD REACTION - SYMPTOMS OF YOUTH CD
-Catchy debut LP from this LA band. This makes you think of those great bands of yesteryear who could play fast interesting hardcore but with melody mixed in with all the agression. If you like Zero Boys or bands in that vein, you’ll love this.

Imposters- S/T CD
-Youthful punk from San Pedro, CA reminscent of bands like the Adolescents or the Faction.

Tippers Gore- Unsettling Loss 7"
- Newest release from this Orange County Hardcore band and quite possibly their best record yet.

Social Sickness- S/T 7”
- Straight ahead, in your face hardcore with that great early DRI sound but with a skate rock edge to it. Add Mystic style riffage with great shouted vocals and you will have a pretty good idea of what this sounds like. Hardcore the way it should be; fast, angry, with just the right amount of added guitar work to make it interesting. If you liked the COP 7", you will love this. 12 song on the single.

Crucial Cause/Rat Damage- Split 7"
-The second official Flat Black Distribution title. These Crucial Cause tracks are songs left over from the "Try Our Luck" recording session, so anyone who has heard that record knows what to expect here. Great thrashy hardcore with a strong NYHC feel to it. Rat Damage have a more mid tempo approach and are rockin' in that Sick Pleasure kind of way but with gruff, throaty vocals that bring bands from the Midwest to mind. Awesome cover art by Paul Imagine. LIMITED TO 400 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!!

Timebombs- Kill Music 7”
- Timebombs Second Ep shows us a huge progression from their Society's To Blame/ Doc Brown 7". Their first Ep was reminiscent of Mystic bands but this release sounds a lot like early FU's meets Koro. The raw 80's style recording makes me think of hardcore gems like the Mecht Mensch Acceptance 7" or an early Fartz record. Fast, youthful tunes with heart and a sense of humor.

Imposters- Pool Maintenance 7”
-First official release from this South Bay Band and first title we are officially distributing. Three extremely talented High School kids playing punk that takes cues from all kinds of punk and hardcore. In their sound, I can hear a youthful Orange County vibe of bands like Adolescents and the surfy vibe of Agent Orange. This also brings to mind the Authorities and some RKL. Diverse yet familiar.

C.O.P. - Ripperside 7”
-This is the debut release from Riverside's C.O.P. (Citizens On Patrol). Eight songs of skate infused hardcore that brings you back to the days of classic nardcore like Stalag 13 and False Confession. Great riffs backed with solid, blistering drums and snotty yet intelligible vocals. Songs you will be singing after the first time you hear them. This band is a must-see live. There aren't many around today who shove as much energy into their sets as C.O.P. Standout tracks include Ripperside/C.O.P., Hitchhikers and No Secrets. This is what punk rock is all about people. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT POSTER WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Tippers Gore- Blackout 7”
-Debut six song seven inch from Tippers Gore here. Total 80's style fast and thrasshy HC here from this new Orange County, CA bnad. In the vein of greats like Minor Threat and Negative Approach these dudes bash out 6 fierce rippin tunes on this single. Fans of Skate Korpse, Sex Vid, Koro or even Agent Orange will dig.

Crucial Cause- Try Our Luck 7"
-This is the Bay Area band's first release and although it has that familiar thrashy Bay Area sound of great bands like Warkrime and Deadfall, it also has a strong NYHC influence, which sets it apart from their counterparts. Take Bay Area thrash and mix it with New York bands like Antidote and Youth Of Today, and you will have a pretty good idea of what this sounds like. For fans of all eras of hardcore. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT INSERT WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Bad Reaction- Plastic World 7"
-Latest EP from this California band after their well-received full-length. These guys play some really diverse HC with a cool, Zero Boys-like bass sound, some Ginn-esque riffage and pissed-off vocals that recall early AFI (a good thing I think!). These guys definitely separate themselves from the pack and sound Southern California as fuck. Great single here. INCLUDES TWO SIDED PULL OUT INSERT WITH BAND PHOTOS AND LYRICS!!

Tippers Gore- S/T LP
-First full length from this Orange County hardcore band. 12 songs here with a few Minor Threat/DC Youth Brigade inspired hardcore tunes and a few that remind me a bit of the Zero Boys.

MASS PRODUCTIONS (France)
Attentat Sonore- Stockholm Syndrome CD
-Shit man, I was looking forward to this after "Social Headache" blew me away, and I am blown away again. Attentat Sonore should be fucking huge. Dual males/female vocals constantly attacking the very urngent punk the rest of the band is playing. Think UK82 stuff with male/ female vocals. By UK82 I don't mean generic mid paced shit either, this is fresh sounding, angry stuff. In places the girl's voice reminded me of Helen from the Violators. This is what I want and what I need. The production is great too… no over-the-top shit to cloud the urgency, just eagerness and energy. All 13 tracks on here rule. I love these guys and I got nothing else to say other than get this and 'Social Headache' too, and get blown the fuck away. Top notch packaging on the CD tool. It comes in a nice digipack with a thick ass pull out 16 page booklet with lyrics for each song and a bunch of band photos.

Doctor Scientist/Octagon Control- Split 7”
-One million years ago, a doctor and a scientist had sex. Nine months later they gave birth to an ordinary baby. But this was no ordinary baby. Named "doctor scientist", this child was destined to one day change pop music forever. That day was yesterday. Doctor Scientist brings an extremely energetic synth sound with wailing and effected vocals from Philly. I really like the vocal style, serious, monotonous, and multi-layered robotic harmonies in the vein of BIS and simple melodies and rythyms that remind me alot of Baltimore's ABIKU. Backing them are Octoagon Control from Bellingham, WA who dish out two lethal mind fucks of serisously wacked out snyth layered damamge. People into stuff like Factums, Blank Dogs, Nice Face or Pink Reason will dig. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Sudden Walks - Haulin ass 7"
-Here they are Connecticut's young perturbators SUDDEN WALKS with their second EP ''Haulin' ass Gettin' paid'', a real live wire with four new tracks that exude the same sick atmosphere as early REATARDS recordings Just listen to the thrown-up teenage hymn ''You're so blank'' and you know what we mean. Also if you find pleasure in the distorted musical orgies of the RETAINERS, the FATALS or LIVE FAST DIE you just won't manage to resist songs like ''Do you feel so dead'' and ''Please don't go''. In the slower ''She keeps me depraved'' you can even hear the desperate call of the COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS before the song finally comes to a fast and wrecking end. You know, these four youngsters love to destroy the peace in their neighbourhood just a bit too much to keep it slow! So haul your ass out of your easy chair and get this one! LIMITED TO 350 COPIES!!!

Night Terrors - Cocktail CD
-Back in 2003 from the ashes of the "Sex Machines" a new band was formed. This was the debut album from the band that is now known as "Casket Architects". A bit less metal and synth and more punk then their current huge sound made up of ex members of the Mistreaters.

V/A - True Horror (4 way split) LP
-The very first FDH Records complitation, and what a doosy it is. You get 4 bands (MURDERSHIFT, TROUBLE BOUND, THE EMERGENCY, THE ANTI-SOCIALS) from the OCNY area putting their own spit on punk rock. File under GERMS, CHILD MOLESTERS. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERD COPIES WITH HOME MADE LP JACKETS!!

Destruction Unit/Black Sunday- 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. Backing Black Sunday are Ryan Wong of the Wongs, Tokyo Electron and Digital Leathers other project, Destruction Unit. These are the first Destruction Unit recordings in 4 years. The songs were written and recorded by Ryan and Shawn Foree of Digital Leather. Some will hate it, some will love it. It is a lot different than the old Unit. Less aggresive and more Kraut rock oriented. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND THEY COME WITH A BONUS CD! GET EM WHILE YOU CAN. THESE HAVE ALREADY SOLD OUT THROUGH THE LABEL!!

Terror Visions - World of Shit CD
-The new harsh electro album from Jay Reatard (Lost Sounds, Angry Angles, TheReatards, The Final Solutions, Bad Times, a million other things all equally incredible). This album is disgustingly good and it's guaranteed to be the feel-bad sleeper of the summer! LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!!

Blowtops- Boneshakers 7”
-The Blowtops, another band hailing from the seamy underbelly of America’s garage rock emporium, Buffalo, NY. Over the years the Blowtops have been releasing single after single, album after album of creepy, lowdown, vile driven horror rock. They’ve begun to understand that change in music is inevitable and decided to embrace the chaos that is change! They dropped their bassist, tossed out a guitar, and added keyboards to their sound. This is their newest single and totlally rules. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Women- S/T 7”
-Debut 6 song EP gem from Philly's own "Women". A breed of punk that draws from Early UK punk/ Rip off records style garage/ early hardcore/ and hints of metal. Dont miss this one it's LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND THE FIRST 160 COME WITH SILKSCREENED COVERS.

Digital Leather- Blow Machine LP
-The anticipated new album from DIGITAL LEATHER. "Blow Machine, 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. A lot of people are panning the cover art on this one because of the overly simple look. Since the album is about all things blow and drug related the band wanted to make a very overly simple cover so it looks like someone cranked it out in a few minutes high on sumthin. And well, I'd say they achieved their “goal” there!

The Kidnappers- Ransom Notes And Telephone Calls LP
-“I dare anyone to make a better record this year.Seriously, this LP is the embodiment of what makes rock & roll great. It's catchy, it's trashy, it's fun and it's so dang good that I am jealous. THE KIDNAPPERS are the all-grown-up incarnation of Germany's HIGHSCHOOL ROCKERS. They aren't as lofi as the HS ROCKERS and have incorporated the MURDER CITY DEVILS' boom-swagger brand of rock and roll to their Rip Off Records sound. They even throw in a LOLI &THE CHONES cover that exceeds my expectations. This band can do no wrong in my book.This band could be one of my all-time favorites!!-MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL

INCOGNITO RECORDS (Germany)
Rock N Roll Stormtroopers- Hanging out With The Boys 7"
-These four German punk rock n rollers deliver a lethal dose of high-energy bulldozer rock thats guaranteed to make your jaw drop. We wont talk about the fact that they wear cut-off daisy dukes while rocking out. This is fun filled, hyper drive, good old three chord rock n roll action that brings to mind all those great bands like Sweet, Dead Boys, New York Dolls, The Heartbreakers, and such. You can hear traces of AC/DC here and there, but for the must part its more of a Sweet style glam feel with a dash of the Ramones from time to time. Think Desolation Boulevard. Check it out, you wont be disappointed.

EVEN WORSE RECORDS (Netherlands)

Upstab- Report 7"
-Upstab continue with the tradition of raging, dangerous hardcore bands from Cleveland on this, their second 7". The five tracks on this record are fast and noisy, and profess their dedication to activities like skating and causing general havoc. Equalizing Distort Radio / Newsletter described them as a cross between America's hardcore and Urban Waste mixed with Japan's Execute and Don Don, which might not be that far off. Killer single if you're into stuff like 9 Shocks, The Inmates, Ruiners etc.

Upstab- Someone Threw A Gallon Jug Of Thunderbird At Me 7"

ROCKIN BONES- RECORDS (Italy)
The Winks- "Too hot to be this cool" LP
-This is the debut full length CD by Austin-based all-female band The Winks. The band drew rave reviews for their debut 7" record released on Super Secret Records in 2003. In addition, the band has toured the country in the last two years and has played to sold out shows at South by Southwest 2004, the Chicago Blackout Festival 2004, and the Dot Dash Festival 2004. The women of the Winks cultivate a saucy, swaggering dynamic that keeps their otherwise straightforward approach to punk rock ticking. There's no wheel reinvention here, just a 20-minute nonstop burst of come-ons and put-downs. They brings to mind the trashpunk of the BobbyTeens and early Donnas mixed with the wild raw of the VKTMS and Deadly Weapons. THIS LP IS LIMITED TO 666 copies, 100 on red vinyl!!

Primate 5/Monkey Buzzness- Split 7"
-The new Italian rock’n’roll chiefs, Monkey Buzzness, addicted to Andre Williams, the Gories and the Oblivians belt out two fierce garage rippers.

Thundertrain- Teenage Suicide LP
-A collection of high-energy rock'n'roll from this killer Boston five-piece recorded between 1974 and 1979.

Young Canadians- S/T LP

Coming ashore with the second wave of Vancouver new wave punk, (1980-83) the Modernettes delivered some great songs. Led by Buck Cherry (John Armstrong) and backed by Mary Jo Kopechne and Jughead on bass and drums, the Modernettes had a distinct personality and style that wasn't just copying the latest band of yobs from the U.K. Listen to the rawness and the pure ecstatic melody of; "Teen City", "Suicide Club" and "Rebel Kind" and of course what should have been a smash hit "Barbra". Then check out the melancholy of "Confidential". Also included are tracks from the rare Gone but not Forgiven LP, the View From the Bottom EP, as well as super-rare unreleased live tracks & rehearsal recordings. LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!!

Seminal socio-politiacl Iitalian punk who only produced two demos, some compilation tracks, but never issued a 7" so far. A full LP with their first demo (1982) with 28 tracks in 40 minutes! A powererful mix of wild frantic punk. Vintage but but still sounds damn good today.

Action Swingers- "Enough already! Live!" LP
-Kickin screaming and hollering out of the Lower East Side night in 1998 at the Continental Divide in NYC, Enough Already is the first “official” live Action Swingers album, and the type of vicious rock document rarely – if ever – found in 2004. Ruthless, raw, skinned alive from a foot high stage. The true action sSinger himself, Ned Hayden, has a reputation of being a real son of a bitch, and it’s true, and if he wasn’t, this music wouldn’t exist! Mastered by the busiest man on earth, Alan Douches, and featuring some bad-assed cover art by the acclaimed Hate/Neat Stuff artist Peter Bagge! LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

WRENCH RECORDS (UK)
Johnny Throttle- Stukas Over Shoreditch 7"
-the debut release by Johnny Throttle, and the first release on the Wrench label for almost four years! Johnny Throttle formed in 2008 and have been playing drunken, beer-soaked gigs regularly since then. They play snotty, moronic and straight to the point punk. Probably London's snottiest punk band! 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Functional Blackouts - Raw Dawg Raw Deal 7"
-“Raw Dawg…” is one of my favorite songs the Blackouts play live, so it’s great to finally hear it on a record. It’s loud, raw, and obnoxious, just like the band is live. This record captures them better than anything they’ve put out thus far. “In My Vacuum” sounds like the Blackouts as filtered through the Spits’ Halloween 7”. “Chemical Bath” is what they closed their set with the first time I saw them when they opened for the Weirdos along with the Black Lips. They trashed their equipment and kept playing. The song was longer and weirder than the whole rest of their set and it was awesome. I thought that it was great live, but wouldn’t come across well on a record. I was wrong. Parts of it have a weird, almost Geza X quality. It’s defiantly as damaged and as good as the best Human Eye has to offer.

Real Losers - Time To Lose CD
-You can see the quality of some bands just by looking at the sleeve of their records. The Real Losers are one of them. When I saw this album I knew it must be good. But this is not just good, this is really greeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Takin cues from mid 90s bands like the Rip Offs, Teengenerate, Oblivians and the Coyote Men; the Real Losers have created a trash rock masterpiece. Well I'm sure you've heard about these guys, and this is the album that gained them all the notoriety. Killer lo fi sloppy garage punk from start to finish. The LP's been outta print for years, so get this bad boy while ya can. Fans of the Catholic Boys, Lids, Oblivians, Rip Offs, Teengenerate etc. will cream for this one. Top notch slop n roll here.

Superhelicopter - Indicted! 7"
-For those of you that like noise and distortion, this one won't disappoint! Four super-noisy tracks from these German lunatics! This band ha been compared to early Oblivians, but that only hints at what they offer. A deafening racket for all of you noise-hounds. As one of my German friends said, "If you listen to this band, then you will need to see your ear-doctor". Tinnitus-punk at its best! LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE!!

Lil Bunnies - Bunnie Hole 7"
-Here it is, the third 7" of this notorious band. According to the band, the Lil Bunnies is the result of a vivisection experiment gone awry. The scientists doing the experiment slipped up and the lasers they were using bounced off the bunnies they were cutting up and back at them. Somehow the scientists ended up as man rabbits with a hard-on for humanity, bent on destroying the world through music. Others argue that they are just a bunch of schlumps in pink tights, combat boots, pink stocking masks, bunnie ears and black sunglasses. Such is the nature of the Lil Bunnies that seeing one of it's (former?) members around Sacramento is akin to spotting a war criminal in Bolivia. You don't just walk up to one of them and say, "Hey, aren't you Klaus Barbie?" That being the case, you just don't ask them to clear up this mystery.

The Bunnies crashed an Easter parade and played 6 shows, the last of which was the infamous Gilman Street show, where they set a record for the shortest set played before getting the power turned off (5 minutes) for hitting some guy with a guitar. Other shows featured an entrance in a pink Lincoln with a sawed off top and bunnie ears attached to the front. And then there was the Easter Day release show for this record where they sat on the stage in lawn chairs and threw eggs at the crowd while playing the record on a fu**cked up Fischer Price record player.

Here what one audience member said about the Gilman show:

“I Got a chace to catch MRR’s cover boys the LIL BUNNIES a few weeks ago. And as expected, they completely fucked sheiit up! Right before they took the stage, the crowd was completely electrified with anticipation. There had been rumors that the LIL BUNNIES planned to open up a Pinata full of fire ants over the crowd. I had also heard someone else say they had a bunch of stuffed animals covered in shit to share with the crowd. So as soon as they hit the stage, things digressed into complete chaos. The band was bombarded with eggs and baloney. The singer in an attemp to fight back attacked the crowd with his guitar and mic stand. He also landed a few swift kicks to some guys head. After one and a half songs, Gilman shut off the power and told everyone the set was over. So the LIL BUNNIES immediately exited the building lighting off a stink bomb and throwing a brick of fire crackers into the crowd. I came out of the building just in time to catch them speeding away in their van, to avoid the iron fist of Gilman security”

Fifi & The Mach III - New Race 7"
-Fifi and the Mach III are a four-piece band from Japan containting none other than Fifi from TEENGENERATE!! who have been going for few years now! The single cotains three originals and an absolutely cracking version of Radio Birdman's "NEW RACE". Raw primal garage punk at it’s finest. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND WAY OUTTA PRINT!!

AJI RECORDS (UK)
Bulemics/Drunken Thunder- with Nicki Sicki Split7”

OUT OF ORDER (USA)
The Dissimilars - Jimmy's Room 7”
-Great, fuzzy, bopping garage rock that sounds pretty much like great bands that came out of the Southwest in the mid-‘90s like the Drags, Crying Out Louds, Inhalants, and the Motards. It’s awesome to know that bands are still playing this kind of scuzzy raw garage rock with those catchy guitar parts that we can whistle to ourselves. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES AND ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!

BIG BLACK HOLE (Spain)
Dixie Buzzards - Ain't Going Back 7”
-The Dixie Buzzards 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 totally different person back then. I still think it holds up now and there's always something desperate and cool about your first band. 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 darn good!" These are leftover tracks from the now long gone Dixie Buzzards. 7” WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES IN THE COOL BONGOUT SCREENEd COVERS!!

RAPID PULSE (USA)
Sgt 6 Assault - Goin' Down 7”
-The Dummies moved to NYC in 1996, shortly after recording their full length debut on Get Hip. Months later, the band decided they hated the way their ambitiously recorded album ended up being produced. They then got lean, mean, yet remained unclean, aiming for a heavier sound. Sgt 6 took over all guitar duties, while Subarton hopped over to bass...his original weapon of choice. As a three piece, the band changed their name to the Sgt 6 Assault to drop the sloppy garage moniker/stigma. Their goal: create the sound of true drug-addled, hate-inspired, precision punk rock in the form of one minute tunes...the sound that began echoing within the minds of these once-rural-now-urban transplantees. They first released a 5 song 7" EP through their own label, 007 Records; uncorked the second as a ltd issue, one-sided jukebox single; then cut a tune for Philadelphia's Carbon 14 Magazine. For their fourth release, the Assault recorded 2 cuts just prior to their collapse, which was originally intended for Bag of Hammers Records...this never came to fruition. Years later, Rapid Pulse Records rectifies the situation, seeing that the public finally get to consume this last effort. Recorded in Brooklyn 1997- "Goin' Down On You" is one minute twelve seconds of fierce garagePUNK and the flip is a blazing cover of the Slaughter and the Dogs classic "The Bitch"!

HOLY COBRA SOCIETY (Spain)

-CD with a 16 page booklet designed by Le Cadavre, and with real vinyl sound. A nice mish mash of the international underground garage, punk and new wave scene in the early to mid 2000’s.

Government Issue- Make An Effort 7"

This 7" has all the power and energy that made Government Issue the punk rock icons they are. For fans of Minor Threat, Void and SS Decontrol. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Narcoleptic Youth- Barbi In Bondage 7”
-When I placed this single on my turntable and started it, I thought for sure this must be a reissue of some old punk single that eluded me in my youth. I thought wrong as Narcoleptic Youth formed around 1992, but it’s pretty apparent that they were raised on 1980’s punk rock. Three of the four songs on here could easily fit in on any number of 1980s punk compilations and you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between them and bands that actually were from that era. If you live in Southern California you know NARCOLEPTIC YOUTH. If you don't you soon will. They've been headling gigs and sharing the stage with the likes of: The Adicts, Channel Three, D.I., TSOL etc.. for many years. This is a repress of their out of print self released 7'' w/an unreleased bonus song and is strictly ltd to 1000 COPIES. 500 COPIES ARE ON PURPLE WAX AND 500 ARE ON BLACK. THESE COPIES ARE ON PINK WAX AND ARE HAND NUMBERED!!!

Government Issue- A Hardcore Days Night DVD
-DC punk at it's finest. Here is some classic footage from Washington DC's GOVERNMENT ISSUE. This DVD features three complete live shows from the famous Wilson Center, Washinton DC in 1982, Philadelphia, PA in 1983 and the University of Pennsylvania in 1989. Captured raw and up close on video, this footage is hardly pristine, but that it survived at all after all these years is amazing. Always a fantastic live band, Government Issue grinds out the songs as singer JOHN STABB reigns over the enthusiastic crowd, injecting humor and chaos into the mix. Focusing on material from Government Issues classic albums Joy Ride and The Fun Just Never Ends, A Hardcore Days Night is a great view of Government Issue and the raucous punk rock scene in America in the mid-'80s.

999- Gimme The World 7”
-Yes, this is England’s 999 from the late 1970s. They’re back with three new gems! This single was LIMITED TO ONLY 400 COPIES ON THIS BLACK AND WHITE SPLATTER WAX, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE COPIES!! A must for the first wave punk collector.

Billy Bones- We’re Selfish 7”
-Billy Bones has been involved in punk rock for three decades now. He was the frontman for the legendary Skulls from Los Angeles back in the first wave of punk rock. After a couple years, The Skulls disbanded and many members sadly passed away. Nearly 25 years later, Billy reformed The Skulls with new members and put out a bunch of really enjoyable albums that not only didn’t tarnish the legacy of the original band but actually added to it, which is not an easy feat to pull off. A couple years ago The Skulls disbanded and after a bit of down time Billy Bones has returned with his new outfit aptly named The Billy Bones. They pick up right where The Skulls left off and if you didn’t know better, you’d really think it was the same band. In fact I wonder why bother with the new name except for the fact that none of the members of The Skulls carry over to this new band.

The Billy Bones music is 1970’s influenced melodic punk rock. You can sing along to it but it has a real punch to the music and isn’t the least bit wimpy. The guitars are loud and a bit distorted and the beat is pretty straightforward which sets for a great backdrop for Billy’s trademark vocals. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ON PURPLE AND GREEN SPLATTER WAX!!

Guttermouth- Balls 7"
-This second offering from SoCal's GUTTERMOUTH is just as obnoxious and rockin' as their first. They truly live up to their name. DR STRANGE JUST GOT A FEW RETURNED FROM A DISTRUBUTOR AND I SNATCHED A FEW UP. THEY’VE BEEN OUT OF PRINT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

Voodoo Glow Skulls- Est. 1988 7"
-What can I say about this band that you don't already know? They have horns, they're amazing live, they're punk as fuck, and there's a bunch of them in the band! This 7" has the best VGS songs yet, as well as a great cover of "Charlie Brown." DR STRANGE JUST GOT A FEW RETURNED FROM A DISTRUBUTOR AND I SNATCHED A FEW UP. THEY’VE BEEN OUT OF PRINT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

Skankin Pickle- The Green Album LP
-Pickles are easily one of my favorite vegtables. They compliment nearly every type of sandwhich, and you just can beat a dill spear in the morning. The same goes for Skankin' Pickle. They compliment nearly every style of mix tape, and their ska/punk is delightful to wake up to. This was Mike Park's last album with Skankin' Pickle. Originally planned as a cover ep, it consists mostly of cover songs chosen by each of the band members, but there are a few original Skankin' Pickle tunes as well(old demos from 89 re-recorded). The most notable covers are "Pay to Come" by Bad Brains, "Start Today" by Gorilla Biscuits, and "Special Brew", one of the greatest ska songs ever, by Bad Manners. "My Hair", "Ties that Bind", and "Rest of the World" are three of the better Skankin' Pickle songs. The most amazing fact about the Green Album is the budget....$735 !! Proof that little money does not always equal bad sound quality. Skankin' Pickle's musicianship is primo quality on the Green Album. Diverse vocals, a solid rhythm section, and horns as only Skankin' Pickle can deliver. Their happy-go-lucky style of ska/punk may not appeal to everyone, but they will impress you with talent alone. This is probably the most recognizable Skankin' Pickle album, and with good reason. Anything with pickles and Gorilla Biscuits is classic material. THIS IS A COPY OF THE FIRST PRESSING WITH THE OLD DR. STRANGE WITH THE OLD ALTA LOMA 7000-1117 PO BOX ADDRESS ON THE BACK!!

Government Issue- ‘Complete History Volume 2’ DOUBLE CD

External Menace- Process Of Elimination CD
-At the beginning of the 1980s, EXTERNAL MENACE released two great 7" EPs on Beat the System and songs on various compilations before they quit in 1986. Just for fun they reformed with a slightly different line up and did a reunion in 1995 in order to tour the continent on a DIY basis and to record this album "The Process of Elimination" that was released on a small frech label. Well Dr. Strange re issued that long out of pring French release and what remains are beautiful memories and a great album that doesn't sound like a weak infusion of the original line up.

SCHIZOFRENIC RECORDS (Canda)
The Freeze- I Hate Tourists 7”
-The first and notorious The Freeze 7inch that given many a record collector some headache. Is it really THAT good? Well Don’t Forget Me Tommy is a fun “new wavey” song. But the absoluter winner here is I Hate Tourists. It’s classic in every sense of the word. Cliff Hangers voice is one of the best both in HC and here when they sound more like good ol’ punk. From Cliffs liner notes The song became a novelty “hit” that summer on Boston radio; ”Cape Cod kids singing a profanity laden song about hating tourists” was too funny a premise for Boston radio to ignore.” REPRESS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!

MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS (USA)
Shanghai Wires- Upsetter Democracy LP.
-Debut LP here from London's raw, obnoxious scum bags the Shanghai Wires. ‘Upsetter Democracy’ is a paranoid and apprehensive commentary of social skepticism and written with just enough clever wit to still make the record fun. Think snotty beach punk reminiscent of the original Posh Boy sound and you know where they’re comin from. Fans of main stays like the Stitches, Crowd, DI, or Smogtown along with fellow No Front Teeth rippers ala the Disco Lepers or Botox Rats will dig . LP LIMITED TO 450 COPIES ON WHITE VINYL!!!

FERAL KID RECORDS (USA)
NoJons- S/T 7"
-This will take you back to when pop punk was more punk then pop. This record gives you 4 classic sounding punk tunes. Think of bands like THE DILS/ANGRY SOMOANS/DESCENDENTS style punk. Also great lyrics that you remind you that punk can be fun. This shit will be stuck in your head forever!! 7" LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Trystero- A Scrapyard of Fallen Empires LP
-Debut LP from these Buffalo ragers. A downright dark and heavy instrumental record. A mixture of sludge, doom, stoner rock, and crust. Dirty, buzzsaw sounding guitars that meander in and out of spacey riffs into hard driving powerchords. Cello player adds an eerie tone of melancholy that takes the songs down to a sadder level. Drumming creates a chaos of beats that drives forth the weird angular songs and carries them along on their long journeys. The bass player adds his spastic touch with erratic and down beaten song compositions. More of a soundtrack to a bad day than a record you put on to celebrate a good day. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

UV Rays- Sick of Humans 7"
-5 Party Nomads on a mission from the cosmos...randomly assembling in space & time to bring pertinent noise, scarred chaotic energy & blindly righteous retardation from the ancient lords of rock. Real moments, no bullshit punk that's heavy as all fuck and damn good. In the same vein as the Dictators, Black Flag, Gang Green and all that other good stuff. 7" IS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES WITH HAND SCREENED COVERS!!

Rational Animals- Perception Becomes Reality 7"
-Debut ep from these youngins from Rochester, NY. Totally ripping pissed off hardcore punk with a VERY distinct later-era Black Flag feel to it. Everyone wants to talk about Black Flag, but nobody actually is Black Flag except these guys from Webster, or wherever they're from. The guitar work alone on this record will make your brain go totally mental. Are you skating around town? Than you should really hear this. This is also kind of a place-holder record for a bunch of other great '08 seven inches—Cult Ritual (twice!), Brown Sugar, and anything Tyler Farren played for me (Brutal Knights, Middle America, Critical Picnic). This is a must have!! 7" LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Brown Sugar- Deportation 7"

Plates- Garth Butcher 7"

Unwelcome Guests- The Painter 7"
-If you're into catchy punk with a hint of alt-country with influences like The Replacements and Uncle Tupelo...then you should definitely own this EP!

F - 'Four From '84' 7".
-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 in the huge insert accompanything the single tell the complete band history, pulling no punches and leaving no stone unturned. Fans of The Pagans, Dead Boys, Dogs, Germs and Stooges need to hear this. THIS COPY IS FROM THE FIRST PRESSING ON GRAY WAX. GET THIS WHILE YOU CAN.

POSH BOY RECORDS (USA)
V/A- Beach Blvd CD
-No album captured the early Orange County, California punk sound like the Posh Boy label's 1979's historic Beach Blvd compilation. Beach Blvd. featuring four band: the Simpletones, The Crowd and Rick L Rick and F-Word! playing between 5 and 11 songs each. The Rik L Rik songs are actually Negative Trend songs recorded when Rik was in that band for a very short time. This was after F-Word had broken up. This album has so much early punk rock history it's SICK! Rik L Rik is the hardest band on this record. The Crowd and Simpletones are poppy early punk rock, but totally classic. If you love old punk rock, like from the late 70's, then you'll love this album. Classic stuff.

TOXIC SHOCK RECORSDS (USA)
Raw Power- 'Screams From The Gutter/After Your Brain' LP
-When Screams came out in 1984 it was certainly the first Italian HC record to get wide attention in the international world of punk rock. It was recorded in Indianapolis two thirds into RAW POWER's first U.S. tour. Paul Mahern of Zero Boys produced it at the studio he worked at. It was recorded in one day. On Screams from the Gutter, you get 17 blistering hardcore songs in all with great VINCE RANCID artwork that gives Pushead a run for his money! If you're unfamiliar with RAW POWER, don't claim to be a real punk rocker! This LP is the absolute pinacle of RAW POWER’S extensive career and is a must for every punk record collection. LIMITED COPIES OF THIS ONE AVAILABLE!!

INCREDIBLE SHRINKING RECORD LABEL (USA)

-Well F-Minus fans, this ones pretty hard to find. It's one of the ones with the way hard to find HAND SCREENED LP JACKETS!! The front covers screened in black ink, and the backs screened in blue ink. If yer wondering what the Los Angeles punk scene's been up to the last few years, this would be a good place to start.

Lemuria- The First Collection LP/CD
-This 18-track compilation presents an assortment of power-pop punk tunes by the Buffalo, New York-based trio Lemuria. Proudly adhering to the Lemonheads/Juliana Hatfield school of melodic indie rock, the group boasts appealing male/female vocals--courtesy of drummer Alex Kerns and guitarist Sheen Ozzella, respectively--as best heard on the dynamic "Keep Quiet" and the restless "Bee Spit." This collecrtion contains almost everything they've recorded so far.

Running For Cover - Dark Well LP
-From the frozen tundra of Buffalo New York, this power-violence unit re-defines blasting fastcore. 1000mph blasting, insane riffage, MITB bass-leads, incisive and critical lyrics.... throw it in a blender and you have the legendary Running For cover. Sadly, the band broke up a few years back, but they left us with this last will and testament to all things punishing and brutal. For fans of Crossed Out and Infest. Features members of Slave State, No Time Left and They Live. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Lemuria- Get Better LP/CD
-Lemuria is a three piece from Buffalo, NY. Bob from Shinobu is sitting right next to me trying to come up with adjectives to describe how good they are, but his vocabulary mostly just consists of "Niiiiiiice." Basically, they are an awesome indie pop band in the vein of Superchunk, The Weakerthans, Jawbreaker, and Discount. They've self-released a bunch of EPs, Splits (The Ergs!, Kind of Like Spitting, Frame) and finally check in with a full length. They're the real deal. Punk ethics, great songs, nice people, and that should be good enough these days right?

This Is My Fist! / Giant Haystacks - Split 7"
-Two california punk bands! TIMF features members of Ambition Mission and are a female fronted powerhouse! Giant Haystacks will not dissapoint any fans of The Minutemen or Gang of Four with their stoccato guitar riffs and distinctive rhythm section. CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT VIA THE LABEL!!

-This is the first Year7” SET and was LIMITED to 250 COPIES. THIS 7” SET IS ALREADY OUT POR PRINT!!! This set includes The Only Children 7”, Kitty Little 7”, Robert Blake 7”, Skate Corpse 7”, Mischief Brew 7” and The Failures' Union 7”. GET EM WHILE YA CAN, AS WE ONLY HAVE A FEW OF THESE!!

Kind of Like Spitting - Thrill of the Hunt LP
-Barnett's songs can rotate between somber, solemn solo pieces, explosive, full-band rock or pop, and songs with his talented friends bringing in other instruments to highlight or create a mood. Think BILLY BRAGG! Between all styles handled by Kind of Like Spitting, though, lies the solid punk ethic and influence and an ability for immense lyrical depth and directness held by truly few.

Abusing the Word - S/T 7"
-Incredibly brutal release! Beautiful packaging! Ultra thick recording! Super technical hardcore from Buffalo. It's biligerantly fast and heavy but still manages to be musical and memorable. It will tear you a new asshole...I swear!

Robert Blake - Still Kissing Last Nights Smoke Stained Lips LP/CD
-Incredible! This is album contains so much passion, heartache, and honesty you will feel like a brand new person after listening to it. If you’re going to be a folksinger in this age of irony and flash-pan marketing, you’ve got to put your whole fierce heart into it. The culture of resistance is alive and kicking, and under all these layers of empty fame there are people who are living with their art on a daily basis. Well Robert Blake is one of em. 10 songs that are so real, you feel like you're in Robert Blake's shoes!

Kitty Little / Kiss Ups - Split LP
-Rock has always been at its best as the voice of bratty rebellion and here are two bands that perfectly exemplify that. "My Face Looks So New" celebrates suburban alienation, from face-lifts to SUVs with TVs. "Goodnight" is an exquisite teen-in-heat anthem. And if there is any justice, "Prom Disaster Eyes" will be a mainstay at school dances this Spring. This is a crushing powerpop release that will have you singing and removing your heels from the floor, tearing up carpet and eating too much candy! Great stuff if yer into the power pop!

Robot Has Werewolf Hand - Endless LP/CD
-Getready to trash your room while pounding your body against the walls to short and fast hardcore tunes! Great riffs, ultra fast hardcore from Buffalo with meandering male/female vox. Brutally blissful. LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!!

Robert Blake / Erik Peterson (Mischief Brew) - Bellingham and Philadelphia LP
-This is one of the releases that inspired the folk-punk genre of today! A very revolutionary release consisting of two progressive folk punk artists.

Armed With Intelligence / Young Ones - Garbage Pickin Youth 7"
-Art of the Underground's first release! This record is a split between The Young Ones and Armed With Intelligence. It features two young, raw punk bands at their finest. The Young Ones side is all buzzsaw guitars and vocals belted from the gut. AWI follow suit with six songs that run the gamut of smart, political songwriting. See where Barb and Ryan from I Object got their start! LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE ON GRAY MARBLE WAX!

MAD AT THE WORLD (Canada)
Cheap Tragedies- Volume 1: Sounvenirs and Evidence LP
-Following hot on the heels of 7"s on Livewire Records and High Anxiety, Cheap Tragedies waste no time in dropping an absolute rager of an LP. Comprised of some well-seasoned clevo vets, including a maniacal Tony Erba (9 Shocks Terror, Face Value) delivering his best vocal performance ever. They tear through 12 tracks of amped up, hardcore punk on their debut Volume 1: Souvenirs and Evidence the way only Cleveland miscreants can. Recorded by Bill Korecky at Mars Studio (Face Value, Integrity, 9 Shocks Terror, Terror, etc). The sound is incendiary and justifies their reputation as "hardcore arena rock destroyers", Clevo style. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

The Weegs- The Million Sounds Of Black LP
-On The Million Sounds of Black, THE WEEGS return to Hungry Eye with a second full length of tripped out distorto-skronk. They take their craggly claw, latch onto early American punk/post-punk and California no wave, and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Now even more entrenched in a crypto-sarcastic anonymity, their disjointedly pulsing rhythm throbs along with hypnotic bursts of feedback and noise that would do Arto Lindsay proud. This art-damaged racket is still uncannily musical, like some freak-beat psych band gone horribly wrong. LP IS LIMITED TO 600 COPIES and comes with a CD that features a 40-minute bonus track.

Battletorn- Terminal Dawn CD
-Battletorn crank the brutality up higher with their apocalyptic thrash; filtering some early 80's hardcore fury through thrash metal unruliness via Marshall stacks. They blast through 16 shattering songs that recall late 80's UK Earache Records acts as it does some Negative FX/ early D.R.I. style hardcore mania. The 16 track Terminal Dawn sold out of its 500 copy gatefold pressing in a few scant months, and is pressed here on CD, along with a re-mastered version of the band's 6 song 2006 Burn Fast 7".

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!!

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.

WALLRIDE RECORDS (USA)
Marvelous Darlings- The Swords, The Streets 7”
-Get ready to shit the bed over these two insanely catchy rippers from our neighbors to the north the Marvelous Darlings from Toronto.

Ergs- Blue 7”

More palindromic rock filled hooks that take cues from the Minutemen, Replacements, Elvis Costello, Black Flag, Green Day and the Zombies. An incredible rollercoaster ride of fast, slow, and really fast tempos with heart felt lyrics that hit close to home. THESE COPIES COME ON THE LIMITED EDITION BLUE VINYL!!!!

The Pumpers- S/T 7”
-The Pumpers play loud, dirty and catchy garage punk From Denton, TX featuring members of the Wax Museums.

LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

Shanghai Wires- Upsetter Democracy LP
-Debut LP here from London's raw, obnoxious scumfucs the Shanghai Wires. ‘Upsetter Democracy’ is a paranoid and apprehensive commentary of social scepticismand written with just enough clever wit to still make the record fun.

V/A- Lets Get Killed CD
-This compilation explores the current state of garage rock and punk rock with a heavy slant on the US trashy rock n roll scene. This collection opens up with the barnburner "Werewolves Dring" by The Girls, setting the stage for an awesome comp. It’s got a hand full of current garage rock staples mixed with a nice mixture of newer up and talent. Stand out tracks being from the Dissimilars, Shark Pants, King Louies- Black Rose Band, Man Or Machine, CPC Gangbangs, Knife Fight, Lover!, Tuff Loves, Digital Leather and the Spread Eagles. 19 tracks total and a nice cover shot with a taught young lass lookin like she’s ready to go down town.

The Prostitutes- Kill Em Before They Eat CD
-Ever do too much crank and your drinking cheap beer and eating Xanax hoping to calm down? Ever shot up in the bathroom with Sammytown of Fang, Blag from the Dwarves or G.G. Allin? Great! than "Kill Them Before They Eat" is the record for you. Kevin Prostitute (the most underrated punk rock singer of my generation) pulls it off with a fucking brilliant release. This is not only the best thing Kevin and the Prostitutes have done, but it's probably the most sincere punk rock record I've heard in years. Kevin IS punk rock. He has dedicated his life to the cause. The first 10 songs are brand new, and the following 6 songs were from 2 E.P. by The Inversions which were basically the Prostitutes under a different name. Kevin is even more pissed off at society than ever, and you can tell. The tunes are catchy as ever. Touching on topics like ex's, punk rock chicks, drugs, alcohol, drugs, and alcohol and more drugs. Warning, this record will make you relapse! This is not for the faint of heart!

They got a sound similar to THE PAGANS, and maybe a little DEAD BOYS mixed in. Does it mean this shit is retro? Nah, it's all WONGS baby!! The LP on Rip Off was no slouch and these songs sound as raw and trasy as I remember them. 3 originals and a Consumers cover. THIS 7” IS LIMITED TO 250 ON BLACK, SO GET EM WHILE YA CAN!!

Big Vinny And The Cattle Thieves- Addiction & Subtraction CD
-Here's a band that could easily contribute to the soundtrack that G.G. Allin, Stiv Bators and Johnny Thunders are probably making in Punk Rock Hell. Big Vinny & the Cattle Thieves sound like old-school gutterpunks, spewing about anal rape and violence from a graffiti-covered garage. "I Was a Teenage Premature Ejaculator" from their debut single is included here and is about as close as the raucious trio gets to a ballad, as Big Vinny laments his loveless formative years. 14 tracks in all here and not a mellow wimpy dud in the bunch. If you’re hell bend to hear a new band flyin the lewd and crewd flag that GG burried many years ago, this ones a must have. Surprisingly this is alot better than I was expecting based on the silly band name. But there’s some really good snarling punk tunes on this one.

Johnny Blood and the Transfusions/Hit By A Semi- Split 7"
-Tempe AZ based Johnny Blood and the Transfusions are trying to bring back their long lost love for classich brittish punk and adding a new twist to the old genre. They do it pretty compentantly and any fan of the older stuff TKO Records was putting out when they first started out, will dig. Backing Johnny Blood are the Orange County, CA based Hit My A Semi. Between touring, countless hours of promotion, and word of mouth reputation from their solid, dynamic, live shows, Hit By A Semi has recently begun to truely earn recognition on a national level. From their D.I.Y. hard work ethic to their passion for playing music simply for the love of it, Hit By A Semi continues to gain momentum and if their is one thing each member can agree on, it's that this journey has only just begun. This is their newest release and a must for the Hit By A Semi fan wanting the vinyl. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON CLEAR VINYL WITH RED BLOOD LOOKING SPLATTERS!

Chip Hanna/Broadway Squad- Split 7"
-After years of drumming and playing with the US BOMBS, Chip Hanna has stepped from outside the drum kit to find his roots. This time packin a flattop Martin acoutic guitar and an arsenal of songs. Chip is back writing some of the best blue grass, honky tonk songs and this split certainly isnt’ a let down. This split contains 2 Chip Hanna originals and is a split with a Pheonix band called Broadway Squad 7”. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON BROWN AND WHITE SWIRLY WAX!!

Sore Thumbs- Listen Up LP
-Get ready for the full length of the year!!!! These guys have been playing their nuts off constantly in the bay area for the last couple years gaining a great local following, and they have hit their stride with this LP. Bay Area Rockers SORE THUMBS remind me of the good ole days in SF. This band picks up where One Man Army, Swingin Utters, The Bodies left off! This LP captures the emotion and heartfelt feelings that singer Miles has for living. 14 songs of rough n ready street level rock n roll. UBER RARE LIMITED PRESSING OF 200 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON CLEAR WAX WITH WHITE SPLATTERS AND A SMALLER EDITION OF 110 ON BLACK WAX! AND WE HAVE BOTH COLORS!!!

Big Vinny And The Cattle Thieves- I Was A Teenage Premature Ejaculator 7"
-If GG Allin never wrote a romantic ballad to his life(and I'm not sure if he didn't), Big Vinny's wrote it for him, years after GG's demise. And the world's a defianately a better place for it. It's the title track. Actually, the two originals on this 7" remind me of GG's country work: laid-back in it's own filth, heavy-drinking, self-depreciating, torn-throat and better than it should be. The third song's a GG cover, so they weren't working in a vacuum. A possible connection to the WONGS is hinted at in the sleeve notes and the blue 'n' black splatter vinyl is sure easy on the eyes. Fans of the Reatards, Johnny Thunders, GG Allin, Stitches will want. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES.

The Lucky Stiffs- Last Confession 7”
-Stolen equipment, stolen vans, and deported band members have never stopped San Francisco's Lucky Stiffs. Like their fans, The Lucky Stiffs always attempt to take an unselfish look at their music and challenge themselves to step into unexplored paths. In many ways this is a key to maintaining constant excitement and enthusiasm for their place within a genre of music too often hell-bent on repetition and limitation. While it's debatable if any studio recording could ever capture the energy that The Lucky Stiffs emit live, these three solid tracks truly stand their ground. These tracks give you some raw insight into what keeps this band going so strong and continues to electrify and inspire so many loyal fans. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON REALLY COOL LOOKING PURPLE AND BLUE SWIRLY WAX!!

KANGAROO RECORDS (Australia)
Offenders- I Hate Myself 7”
-Classic early 80's TEXAS HC ... fast and snotty, while packing quite a punch. Reissue of this classic 1984 EP and LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!! A must have for Reagan Era hardcore afficianados and right up their with the Dicks as far as classic TX punk.

WOOD SHAMPOO RECORDS (USA)
HARRY FAGEL Wordmurder CD
-If you don't know Harry Fagel, then you don't know Las Vegas poetry. Metro sergeant by day and coffeehouse bard by night (that is, when he's not getting booted out for bad language), Fagel has been widely published and anthologized in everything from police training manuals to academic textbooks. His two collections, 1999's Street Talk and 2004's Undercover (both published by Zeitgeist Press), stand at the very top of Vegas' Great Chain of Literary Being.

After many years in Law Enforcement a man gets chipped away by the sea of tragedy. This man has taken the fire of experience and forged a haunting combination of poetry, spoken word, improvisational jazz and punk rock to create a unique experience for the listener. The CD is a combination of life on the street, raising a family, the hilarity of life, the tragic sadness of poor choices and overall, the hope of always being able to pick back up, dust off and move forward. "Wordmurder" is a culmination of years of litery writing and street performance and is a collection that will at a minimum, bring emotion and thought, and at its greatest moments, will leave you laughing at the human being in all of us.

P TRASH RECORDS (Germany)
CPC GANGBANGS/CONFUSERS- Split 7"
-The Canadian heads CPC GANGBANGS, feat. members of DAYLIGHT LOVERS, SPACESHITS and LES SEXAREENOS, so that should give you an idea of where they're coming from. They give ya the fist right in the teeth on ''Waves of hate'', a brutal Lo-Fi tune that sounds like the FATALS going berserk on cheap speed while Greg Ginn tries to handle an epileptic attack.

Both CONFUSERS songs are authentic KIDS / PVC style KBD-trashers with a wild and rocking twist. Bassist and singer Fred Rich produced the MIND CONTROLS LP and played in GREEN MONSTER, so he dang well knows how things should sound. Greg Lowery would lick his greasy fingers for this one!!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN. THIS WAS LIMITED TO 300 COPIES AND IS ALREADY OUT OF PRINT!!

SHAKE YOUR ASS (Italy)
Miss Chain And The Broken Heels- Lie 7”
-They did it again! Lovely Astrid and her boys come up with two more impressive examples of what real power-pop is all about. This is their third 45 and it's another little masterpiece. Both tunes deliver the perfect blend of classic late 70's power-pop, 60's all-girl group sounds and the minimalistic charme of early punk-rock. I said it before, but I will say it again, this band will be HUGE!!! If you really dig the sound of crunchy guitars, be a sucker for songs with the highest possible recognition value and go bananas for a full dose of harmonies, you need to have this 45 (and of course all their other releases too) . LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

The Uptown Bums- S/T 7”
-Denton, TX outfit that surprisingly does not include any former or current members of the Marked Men or Wax Museums. That I know of. A-Side is very capable power-pop with a UK punkish tinge, slightly Buzzcockian perhaps, but with an identifiable Texaswagger. Three speedy & melodic loud pop numbers that have more than just a few stains around the cuffs. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

MENOTROPIC RECORDS (Italy)
Contaminators- S/T 7”
-Haven't heard these guys in a while, but they've tightened things up considerably. Blown out vocal track, skuzzy recording and loud, direct arrangements throw this into a '70s punk motif, with great success – "Want me Dead" in particular lifts enough of the Pistols/Dead Boys sorta vibes with the bravado required for ownership, or at least a month-to-month lease. Great, dirty sounds. 300 copies, black vinyl.

GOING UNDERGROUND (USA)
Sick E’s- S/T 7”
- I know nothing of who this band is. These fellas lay downfour tunes worth of bona-fide synth-punk, a little melodramatic (when isn't it though?), but not in a pretentiously gothy way. Like a really mean Monitors, straight forward synthiness with a nice menacing tone. I hear little guitar but some nice bass-lines anchor the din. Super crazy dude vocals of the paranoid-apocalyptic variety work very well. They keep the songs simple, which is good. Worthy of repeated spins on this one. Nice job. LIMITED TO 350 COPIES!!

Contaminators- No Friends 7”
-This is the debut single from the Contaminators, part of a group of bands that I'm figuring centers around Bakersfield and seems to include The Hips, Neon Nazis and Saboteurs. Snotty punk, but snotty in an affected Le Shok sort of way. Two guys doing everything here, and "No Friends" is actually a really great song. Hard rhythm guitar and a nice drum sound with a constant squealy lead guitar bit plastered over it all makes for a good punk tune. They slow it down for the last one, "Sick Fixation" and complements the other three perfectly. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!!

BLACK KONFLIKT RECORDS (Malaysia)
Rattus- 30th Anniversary CD
-Rattus are one of the pioneers of the Finnish hardcore scene and they’ve been active since their beginning in 1978. This is a LIMITED EDITION 30th anniversary disc for Rattus featuring many early tracks, rarities, unreleased songs, live songs, and also a few new tracks that have not been released before. Fans of Tampere SS, Terveet Kadet, Kaaos and Riistetyt need this. It’s limited to only 500 copies on this small label out of Malaysia, so get it while you can!!

INCOGNITO RECORDS (Germany)
PVC- Wall City Rock CD
-26 tracks from this legendary first wave German punk band. Great stuff as usual from PVC playing hyper untuned Vibrators like punk. PVC, along with The Pack and Big Balls And The Great White Idiot, are the cream of the crop as far as first wave German punk bands go. And on this CD they definately brings the hits. Get it while you can, as this sucker’s is way out of print.

CUT THROAT RECORDS (USA)
Born Liars- Ragged Island LP
-If 'punk rock' and 'rock & roll' are synonymous in your book, pick up this second full-length by Texas rawkers The Born Liars. Unconcerned with anyone's preocupation with the past, the songs on "Ragged Island" plunge headfirst into the mucky rock coast without concern for their safety, or yours. Never an homage, these are original rock & roll tunes played with the same virility and volume as the best punk and roll bands of yore. The Real Kids, The Lyres, even a little 'Down By The Jetties' can be heard here. The new amphetamine sulfate music, if you will. Only a band this bold-faced could get away with the freshly-wounded ballad "How It Gets At Night" or the bright-eyed but nervy pop of "Cool Your Jets" without looking like pansies. To the contrary, after the first listen, I was ready to trade in my patent pumps for a raggedy denim jacket and black leather ankle boots. Take me boys, I'm yours. LP LIMITED TO 520 COPIES and CD coming on Rank Outsider Records!!!

NEAT NEAT NEAT RECORDS (USA)
Static Static- Witchmouth 7” : Import Price
-New super ground here with ex members of the Drags and the Red Aunts. Is it synth? Is it punk? Is it garage? I dunno, but it definitely has a little of each. Angular, distorted guitars, fuzzing alongside equally distorted synthesizers. There's no pop here, either. It's more of a dark dancey beat with total outsider punk vibes. Very similar to their contemporaries Digital Leather or Destruction Unit. A dark, fuzzed out beat that will pound itself into your brain and leave you wanting more. I don’t know the whole story with this single, but from my understanding, something happened in the mastering of the single and the band ordered all copies to be destroyed. So these are pretty rare and hard to find. LIMITED TO 400 HAND NUMBERED COPIES, BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY OF THE 400 PRESSING WERE DESTROYED!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!

TIC TAC TOTALLY (USA)
Matt K Shrugg "Matt K Shrugg" 7"
- Master chef Shrugg of the Rip Off-esque Pizzas, and losin'-est loser of Th' Losin' Streaks cooked us 4 tight as fuck new punk blasts for his debut 7" EP. As I've stated before, MKS writes absolutey killer garage-punk songs, the type you think you've heard a million time before, but imbued with some real energy and character to make them stand out. And this single is no different. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Snake Flower 2 - Renegade Daydream LP/CD
-Snake Flower is Matthew Melton, a guy you are already acquainted with even though you might not know it. He was in the Memphis Break-Ups (a band who released a really great CD-R a couple of years ago that deserved some vinyl treatment), did time in the original version of the River City Tanlines and played in the Bare Wires with Alicja and Jack O. Plus, he took that cover photo for Jay Reatard's solo record that everyone loves so much. On Renegade Daydream, Matt gives us Twangy minimalism that brings to mind Tyrannosaurus Rex, circa their electric move on Beard of Stars (prob the production job there), fused with a modern garage sensibility. A great slice of Americana with non-New Weird punk divisions. Meandering guitar-based garage-psych that will appeal to the enormous consumer’s market heavily invested in Love’s Four Sail LP as well as Big Star’s 3rd. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES.

The Pharmacy- Abominalble 7"
-Sort of Beatle-esque melodic raw garage rock. Two great tracks. 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 WHITE WAX!! 7” LIMITED TO 300 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. YOUR COPY WILL BE ON THE LIMITED EDITION PUKEY PURPLE-ISH/GRAY COLORED TRASH WAX!! 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Black Sunday/Le Jonathan Reilly- 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. A nice unique piece to add to her encyclopedic back catalog.

Le Jonathan Reilly...after an acclaimed split with the Tyrades and an equally impressive LP on Holy Cobra Society, these guys were ready for the "small-medium time" with TTT! The boys provided 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 dynamics that leave room for some psyched out and new wave sounds, but still know when to blast off into harder territories. These songs have an infectious and slightly conflicted creative presence that ultimately conjures up five more reasons LJR can deliver the goods.

Mouserocket - Pretty Loud - LP (w/free CD inside)
-The new Mouserocket albums 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. This LP contains both LP and CD format, so you can spin the wax at home, and play the CD in your car. Win..win. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

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!!

Yokohama Hooks- ‘S/T' 7"
-Debut 7-inch 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 screw you to anything the weathering 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 theYokohama Hooks definately give you a run for your money here. Pretty great single. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

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!!!

Black Sunday- Cut Out 7"
-There were only 1000 of these pressed total and on a few different colors of vinyl. 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.

SAVAGE RECORDS (Sweden)
Guinea Worms- Lost And Found 7”
-How many reviews of great punk bands begin with "named after a parasitic worm...."? Ok, only a few, but Columbus's long-running and under-recorded Guinea Worms have just unleashed a righteous 7" called Lost And Found. A-side and title track is a celebration of geekdom Anyway, the B-side "Jeans And Hells" is even better, a punishing garage punk epic at nearly five minutes. And all lovingly fucked with by—who else?—Mike Rep. Get it! LIMITED TO 400 COPIES!!!

Maaster Gaiden- Sayonara 7”
-First release on Whole Lotta Records and now their back from more damage. . New kids outta the Denton area with an ex member of the Wax Museums. Taking punkrock to new heights! For fans of Marked Men, Hex Dispensers, High Tension Wires. LIMITED TO 400 COPIES!!!

Haunted George- The Buzzard’s Ate His Flesh 7”
-Newest single from former BEGUILED and NECESSARY EVILS member STEVE PALLOW. This is also Haunted George’ first release with Jimmy Hole on second guitar.

ORIGINAL THREE- ‘S/T' 7"

This is their coolest and best stuff to date. For fans of Persuaders, Lost Sounds, Reatards, Black Lips etc. LIMITED EDITION OF 400 COPIES ON BLACK WAX!!

Forbidden Tigers- Colonial Freakout 7”
-The Forbidden Tigers are basically Brimstone Howl but they've gone rawer than hell and turned it all the way over to primitive. Imagine the Black Lips teaming up with Oblivians. LIMITED EDITION OF 400 COPIES ON BLACK WAX!! KILLER SINGLE HERE!!

Handsome Stranglers- Mad Man Stomp 7”
-Most modern 'billy-damaged crap pisses me off because it takes cues from blahshit like the Meteors instead of goodshit like the Cramps, but it seems as though the Handsome Stranglers have heard and answered my pleas. This really does sound like early Cramps, with screams & grunts & owwwwwws from the vocalist and a reasonable tempo for this style. I dig it a lot. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Reverend Savage And His Holy Rollers- S/T 7”
-Not really a fan of this particular Martin Savage project, but the title cut is actually a pretty smokin' little garage rave-up. It's like this guy gets an idea in his head for a song and figures, what the hell, why not form a whole band around the idea and record a whole bunch of tunes. Although the idea works better for some of Martins other bands like the The Humans 7" and The Locomotions; I just want more from Revereand Savage And His Holy Rollers. Still, the guy has a lot of heart, and has done a lot for US/Euro-garage relations via the Savage label, so I'll give him some room. Definately a great A side here. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

X-Rays- Crawling Back To Vegas 7”
-These Brits are seriously into the hotrod thang and goddamn if they aren’t doin’ it up extra nice and ugly. I almost had to jump with joy when the first track “Crawling Back To Vegas” up the beyond souped-up guitars at nonstop breakneck speed. Rock n roll pushed one notch further. The X- Rays sound a bit like their Austin counterparts like THE MOTARDS, THE INHALANTS, and THE SATANS. These simplistic and full-throttle limey bastards unmercifully plow the shit outta these two punk songs and goddamnit if I don’t want to hear more! LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

SECRET RECORDS (USA)
The Neckties- Skatin With A Boner 7”
-Here we have the debut release of The Neckties. 5 kids from Hermosa Beach, CA, all under age 16. These guys are into skating and surfing almost more than they're into music, yet they've put together one of the more exceptional EP's to come out of today's punk scene. They've combined catchy and to-the-point songs about beach life, with crafty musicianship to create a solid record. The raw production also complements the sound well, giving it that touch of '80s hardcore that we all know and love. These tunes got Agression, Necros, and Zero Boys written all over em. Can’t wait for the LP.

January 2nd, 2009

NO FRONT TEETH (UK)
Snazzy Boys- S/T CD

-Two exclusive new cuts each from London’s snotty glam punks The Botox Rats (featuring members of The Disco Lepers, The Shanghai Wires and Low Score City) 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. Definately the fanciest No Front Teeth release to date.

Thee- Indigents- S/T CD
-Holy shit!!! The debut full length from Thee Indigents. You heard their disarming jaw-dropping debut on the Hostage Record's Tower 13 comp, now everyone's favorite smash punks return. Sal's signature snarl atop ten ultra-cathy beat latent blasts make this the best OC punkrock basher since the debut Naughty Monkey single released on Vinyl Dog in 1997.

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!!

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!!

BEAT GENERATION RECORDS (Spain)
Juanita Y Los Feos- Robot Gigantic LP
-If there's anything unanimmous about Juanita Y Los Feos, it is that there isn't any unanimity to their sound. You can say they do garage with syntesizers (like The Black lips trampling on a sweaty and feminine Suicide), or that they do uncouth new wave (Like a Blondie with guts), or direclty say that they do synth punk perfect for shaking your ass (like The Lost sounds agaisnt the Screamers at a discotheque), and no one could accuse me of not having a fucking idea of what I'm talking about. Any way ya slice it Spains Juanita Y Los Feos definately has something cool going on. This 45 RPM 12" has four damn near perfect garage/synth punk tunes and it just looks like a rare record in the making. This was released as a co release between the band and their freinds new label. 500 COPIES WERE PRESSED and it comes encased in a cool home make silk screened fold over sleeve with FOUR INSERTS. Basically they made an insert for each track on the record. Cool packaging and a killer LP. The songs are fuckin great. RECCOMENDED!!

Juanita Y Los Feos- S/T LP
-The thing I like about JUANITA Y LOS FEOS is that they don't really immerse themselves in a genre. They take cues from various guitar based Back From the Grave howlers of yore and speckle their tunes with the keys heavy scree of bands like the Screamers and Devo; and the anthem-ey qualities of classic punk bands like the Avengers and Weirdos. They even throw in a few choice Flamencan guitar licks here and there as a subtle nod to their regional Spanish heritage. And the culmination of their characteristic genre-dabblings paired with their undenying, fervent delivery is what really sets JUANITA apart from the pack.

One of the strongest members of the band is Juanita herself. She has a very fierce, yet electrifying voice that really makes the songs shine without sounding to cutsey. On a few of the songs she brings to mind Penelope Houston in that naively, intriguing sorta way. You know, how she sang way back when she was young and cool on that first Avengers album. I'm not saying that Juanita sounds exactly like Penelope, because she doesn't. But she has that same self confidant vocal spark that interplays perfectly with the rest of the band and really helps spit shine their rough n tumble garage nuggets.

That certainly shouldn't undermine the rest of the band though because Rafa, Anibal, Angel and Fa Feo certainly have done their homework. All very proficient musicians who've defnately had their fair shair of alone time with their Oblivians, Germs, Devo, Gears and Spaceshits records. Together they make one fine blues based, crash n roll concoction, that many a Spaniards will vow a little sigh of disappointment knowing their special secret little "in" band is about to get thrust upon the masses.

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. I haven't released a Spanish band in almost 10 years and leave it to JUANITA Y LOS FEOS to help reaffirm my faith in the Spanish music scene. This is probably a band you've never heard of, so if you're diggin any of the records I put out by bands like Live Fast Die, the Forbidden Tigers, Terminals, Intellectuals or Haunted George, you gotta here these guys. Total scorcher from start to finish here.

TRANSPARENT RECORDS (USA)
Nihilistics- Truth 7”: Import Price
-Bassist Mike King graduated Lindenhurst High, guitarist Ajax Lepinski ran a studio n Bellmore, singer Ron Rancid was a Long Island Embalmer and drummer Dirty Dave was residing in a Suffolk County jail. These are the beginnings of the Nihilistics. The band formed in the early '80s, composing songs rife with overt themes of violent hatred, and their shows were terrifying displays of the same. In the days when punk hadn't yet given birth to hardcore, the Nihilistics pushed the boundaries of “extreme” and had no problems garnering quite a bit of enemies along the way. This is the last single that the band released and contains their signature wild and spiteful hardcore played fast, noisy & desperate.

NO BRAIND RECORDS (Italy)
Raw Power- Trust Me LP
-It's been almost 15 years since I last heard anything from this Italian institution and, judging from this release, things haven't changed much. The formula is still metallic guitars married to over-the-top, punishing hardcore. The only noticable difference I'm able to detect is that Mauro's voice has gotten a little raspier over the years. Raw Power fans or any HC fans that wants to hear anything as punnishing as 'Screams from the Gutter'. This ones a must have.

EPISTROPHY RECORDS (Germany)
Ripcord- Discography Part 3 LP
-RIPCORD are among my all time favorites!! Influenced by brutal US bands like Siege and Negative Approach, they managed to create a sound of their own by melting together early US HC with their UK roots and were among the best bands that came from this island called Great Britain in the late 80's. This is the third part of their discography series. This 22 song LP features songs that have been taken from almost opposite ends of Ripcord's recorded works from `86 to `88. The LP starts off with their strongest material ever, in my opinion, the tunes they layed down for the peel sessions. Brutal whirlwind hc with excellent timing and gruff vocals. Then follows a demo that documents the "Defiance Of Power" LP but much more raw. Side 2 features a demo that was recorded 3 month's before (!) their famous Flexi 7". Excellent stuff to complete their historical discography! The LP also includes three previously unreleased songs and is a must for the Ripcord fan!

BALLROOM BLITZ RECORDS (Italy)
Scared Of Chaka/Real Swinger- Split 7”
-OK Scared of Chaka fans, this ones for you. This came out back in 1998 in an edition of 500 COPIES and is WAAAAAAAAAY out of print. This split contains two songs from each band. Scared of Chaka check in with one original called ‘Dimes And Quarters’ and a cover of the Mummies- Come On Up. The Real Swinger from Italy back them up with two Lookout style pop punkers. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN. THESE ARE PRETTY HARD TO FIND NOW ADAYS!! LIMIT 1 PER PERSON. I ONLY HAVE A FEW!!
STAY PUT RECORDS (USA)
Audacity/Thee Makeoutparty- Split 7": Import Price
-Silk screened cover, hand numbered at 500, and the music will bring you to your knees, kiss you on the cheek, punch you in the ear, and then take you out on a moon-lit picnic. It’s fucking magical! Look out for Thee Make Out Party’s new full-length on Teenacide and Recess Records. Plus an Audacity split with the Pterodacdudes on Small Pool Records soon. This is some wild OC rock’n’roll and Audacity are certainly a band to keep an eye out for! ALREADY OUT OF PRINT. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE!!

CHOKIN HAZARD RECORDS (UK)
Antibodies- Concrete Rockers Go Uptown 7"
-Holy shit! Between this and the Spears record, Choking Hazard has cornered the market on killer punk-ish hardcore. Antibodies are from the UK and sound like something off of Dangerhouse Records... there are elements of the dark punk of the Dead Kennedys, the Weirdos or even the UK Subhumans. If you think that the Regulations nailed the late 70s California sound then get this for a serious UK punk reality check.

THRASBASTARD RECORDS (Germany)
ANS - Process of Stoking Out LP
-Killer Texas skatecore played w/ heart. Big time "My War" era Flag and JFA/Cali HC influence here. Check out the band that claims to be anti ‘new school and get stoked! LP LIMITED TO 550 COPIES ON BLACK!!

SIT N SPIN RECORDS (USA)
Pigsticker/Nothing Is Over- Split LP
-Cleveland’s Pigsticker thrash ear with their side laying homage to great Clevo bands like the H100’s and 9 Shocks Terror. Great Jap influenced rippers from these guys. Nothing Is Over play Philly fastcore blasing through 11 rippers ala Crossed Out, Spazz and Infest. Brutal shit here. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES WITH HAND SCREANED COVERS!!

GIVE PRAISE RECORDS (USA)
In Defence- Don’t Know How To Break Dance LP
- With a slew of split 7"s and EPs under their belts, Minneapolis' In Defence present their debut full-length, a 13-track hardcore romp through circle pits, stagedives and pure '80s-influenced hardcore madness that takes cues from bands like Judge and Warzone. Killer looking LP cover artwork on this one.

Alarme- Walk Together, Thrash Together 7"
-Fast and catchy thrashcore from Brazil. They take plenty of influence from bands like What Happens Next?, and more bands from the circle-pit thrash revival!

SIX WEEKS RECORDS (USA)
Raw Power- Still Screaming LP
-RAW POWER has defined hardcore punk not only in their homeland of Italy, but all over the world for over 20 years. This new LP features this legendary group in top form, retaining all the energy, anger and passion that has driven their existence since the beginning. This is true hardcore through and through...bulldozer guitar attack with the trademark screaming vocals that made Italian punk history what it is today. Sadly, shortly after this new recording, the band lost their founder and leader Giuseppe Codeluppi to heart disease. Six Weeks is honored that the band has chosen the label to release their final testament to Giussepe; his dedication and resolve lives in all of us. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

DEAD LAMB RECORDS (USA)
California Redemption- Do Not Resuscitate 7"
-California Redemption began in 2001 and is based in Thousand Oaks, CA. They have strong ties with the Nardcore community and play frequently with JFA and Dr Know. The guitar riffs are actually on the mid-tempo, melodic side - DAG NASTY comes to mind - but the vocals are more yelled than sung, and the occasional breakdowns/chanted back-ups are right out of the hawd caw playbook. So, nothing groundbreaking here but these guys do what they do well. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE ON RED VINYL!!!

HARDWARE RECORDS (Germany)
Wormeaters- In God We Thrust 7"
-Great new-ish band from New Jersey with a great brutal sound. They mix all out thrash like early AGNOSTIC FRONT, DRI and shit like that but add a layer of extra harsh brutality with gutteral vocals like that of UNITED MUTATION and GISM. Fucking interesting and totally crushing. Definetly an awesome debut. LIMITED TO 400 COPIES!!

PUNK BEFORE PROFITS (USA)
State- Sanctimony 7"
-6 new ripping tracks from the classic MI band. Another great ep from the State, just punishing raw powerful midwest hardcore with that wild guitar playing and angry vocals. Nothing "retro" about a bunch of guys in their 40's playing 80's hardcore who were there the first time around. Dont miss out, LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

V/A- Fuck Detroit 7"
-Punk Before Profits home of Grand Rapids, MI has some killer hardcore coming out of it. So they decided to set up a recording studio in their living room and record 8 punk bands in one day for this killer new comp. They cooked food for all of the bands and made a big party out of it while all the bands listened to eachother rip though one song each for this come. The bands on this are RELIGIOUS SS DISORDER/JESUS CRISIS/POSITIVE NOISE/TOTAL GARBAGE/THE REAL BITTERS/S/M/ATTENTION SPAN and FINAL WORD. This is a great record. Only 300 pressed all with hand screened covers and info on each band.

WRENCH IN THE GEARS (USA)
No Slogan- No Pasaran 7"
-Incredible followup by these old Chicago punks playing tribute to the classic Chicago sound- Naked Raygun, Articles of Faith, Bhopal Stiffs, etc. Short and sweet, four perfect songs of bitterness and hate that will get stuck in your head after the first listen. No more heros, no more egos.

GOIN UNDERGROUND RECORDS (USA)
Contaminators- S/T LP
-The first full length from Bakersfield, CA’s the Contaminators. Even better than their 7" releases. 12 tracks of punk rock bred on a healthy obsession with the Dot Vaeth Group , The Eat, Nasty Facts and Johnny Thunders. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

WILD HONEY RECORDS (Italy)
MOJOMATICS- Down My Spine" 7”
-The Mojomatics heap together hillbilly blues, old country, folk and bluegrass, inject it with the melody of British Invasion pop, and fire it all out with the breakneck energy of the best garage/punk/rock n' roll. The duo's playing it tight and electric and sounds like there's five of them, not just two! Superb new 2 tracks by our fave italians!! Incredible catchy tracks pressed on black wax & housed in a deluxe cardboard sleeve!! These 2 tracks will put THE MOJOMATICS in stardom heaven! This 45 will be in my Top 10 of the year for sure! LIMITED TO 600 COPIES!!!!

Beach Patrol- Riding Dinosaurs LP
-Beach Patrol is one of those bands that doesn't come along very often. Talented well beyond their years, the young Green Bay trio may just be one of the best underground rock 'n' roll bands kickin' around right now that no one knows about... yet. The songs on their second album, recall the best moments of the Modern Lovers, (Taang-era)Lemonheads, Elvis Costello, the Smithereens and the Figgs. The album consists of 11 power pop rock 'n' roll songs with catchy choruses and hooks you'll be humming long after the record's over. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Goodnight Loving- S/T LP
-The third album from Milwaukee countrified garage pop rockers GOODNIGHT LOVING. Produced by GREG CARTWRIGHT (REIGNING SOUND, et al.) to wring the soul out of the sound. Goddamn! The first song on here is as good a song you will hear anywhere this year. Perfect Byrds-esque soaring pop, as good as anything the Reigning Sound has done. No wonder Greg Cartwright produced 'em... there's country, slide, mandolin, washboard, passing freight trains all thrown into a mix that sometimes works better than others, but it's not phoney even when songs don't take off. The whole album is solid.

SHIT IN CAN RECORDS (France)
Christmas Island/Le Jonathan Reilly- Split 7”
-The San Diego quartet called Christmas Island provide another interesting specimen for study, their tin-cans-with-strings lo-fi production making "Morning Sunshine" sound like a remnant of Southern Hemisphere indie rockers the Clean and their early-1980s New Zealand peers. That the production sounds vintage is doubly appropriate, since the track is a cover of a song by Jeff Lynne's pre-ELO band the Idle Race. "Seems like the world's late/ 'Cause I can't wait/ For sunshine in the morning," guitarist/vocalist Brian Carver observes. Christmas Island's guitars are grittier than on the Idle Race version, and Carver's slack indie-dude vocals replacing Lynne's Lennon-esque ones, but they're still backed by Beach Boys oohs and heavy-footed Maureen Tucker-style drumming. Backing them are Spains Le Jonathan Reilly and they contribute impressive 3 weirdo spaced out garage rockers. Christmas Island just got signed to In The Red, so get it before the drones follow. Fans of the Blank Dogs, Zola Jesus and Catatonic Youth will dig. This sucker is waaay out of print. Was LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

FDH RECORDS (USA)
Destruction Unit/Black Sunday- 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. Backing Black Sunday are Ryan Wong of the Wongs, Tokyo Electron and Digital Leathers other project, Destruction Unit. These are the first Destruction Unit recordings in 4 years. The songs were written and recorded by Ryan and Shawn Foree of Digital Leather. Some will hate it, some will love it. It is a lot different than the old Unit. Less aggresive and more Kraut rock oriented. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND THEY COME WITH A BONUS CD! GET EM WHILE YOU CAN. THESE HAVE ALREADY SOLD OUT THROUGH THE LABEL!!

Terror Visions - World of Shit CD
-The new harsh electro album from Jay Reatard (Lost Sounds, Angry Angles, TheReatards, The Final Solutions, Bad Times, a million other things all equally incredible). This album is disgustingly good and it's guaranteed to be the feel-bad sleeper of the summer! LP LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES!!!

Blowtops- Boneshakers 7”
-The Blowtops, another band hailing from the seamy underbelly of America’s garage rock emporium, Buffalo, NY. Over the years the Blowtops have been releasing single after single, album after album of creepy, lowdown, vile driven horror rock. They’ve begun to understand that change in music is inevitable and decided to embrace the chaos that is change! They dropped their bassist, tossed out a guitar, and added keyboards to their sound. This is their newest single and totlally rules. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Women- S/T 7”
-Debut 6 song EP gem from Philly's own "Women". A breed of punk that draws from Early UK punk/ Rip off records style garage/ early hardcore/ and hints of metal. Dont miss this one it's LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND THE FIRST 160 COME WITH SILKSCREENED COVERS.

Digital Leather- Blow Machine LP
-The anticipated new album from DIGITAL LEATHER. "Blow Machine, 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. A lot of people are panning the cover art on this one because of the overly simple look. Since the album is about all things blow and drug related the band wanted to make a very overly simple cover so it looks like someone cranked it out in a few minutes high on sumthin. And well, I'd say they achieved their “goal” there!

The Kidnappers- Ransom Notes And Telephone Calls LP
-“I dare anyone to make a better record this year.Seriously, this LP is the embodiment of what makes rock & roll great. It's catchy, it's trashy, it's fun and it's so dang good that I am jealous. THE KIDNAPPERS are the all-grown-up incarnation of Germany's HIGHSCHOOL ROCKERS. They aren't as lofi as the HS ROCKERS and have incorporated the MURDER CITY DEVILS' boom-swagger brand of rock and roll to their Rip Off Records sound. They even throw in a LOLI &THE CHONES cover that exceeds my expectations. This band can do no wrong in my book.This band could be one of my all-time favorites!!-MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL

RICH BITCH (USA)
City Scum- S/T 7”
-Five-tune slab of guitar-driven garage rock-n-roll by some chaps whose cowboy hats are integral to their cross-dressing escapades… at least that’s what the southern swagger tells me. A real demented country-twang that’s pretty cool. They sound a hell of a lot like Brutal Knights were BK not awkwardly sodomized by that hardcore rhythm section of theirs, or, hell, a (deeper) southern-fried Reatards minus the rambunctiousness. Catchy as fuck riffage (Side A especially – “Dead Man” is the winner here) and crooning attitude-laden vocals. The farther inward the needle drifts, the more I imagine confused street punks drooling in sync with such uber-cerebral lyrics as “We are city scum / suck my dick and drink my cum” – cue Johnny Thunders pucker. Anyways, it’s good their proverbial leather pants aren’t cutting off circulation to their brain enough to hinder some real memorable period-blood-on-the-collar cuts. A pleasant sooprise. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Pophorror- Child Of Modern Times 7”
-This is a pretty intriguing cannonball into new wave’s interplay in post punk, all executed with an intentionally juvenile (proto-monkeys-with-six-strings) slant whilst retaining some songwriting competency. These silly tunes sound the way Captain Beefheart, the Screamin’ Mee-Mees and Sockeye’s spawn would look, but with all of their recessive traits retained, somehow. Now that’s an ugly little kid, isn’t it? Luckily we only get to hear him, and he sounds pretty dang good to these ears. ONE SIDED 7” IS LIMITED TO 600 COPIES!!!

Cat Party- Jigsaw Thoughts 7”
-This reminds me of the NERVES but somehow more macho. It has that kind of early LA power pop vibe running through it. The guitar's a bit more interested by weaving instead of blasting, the lyrics can be decoded on the first couple of listens, and the whole enterprise is atmospheric in a low-cloud, high brow way, but insanely catchy and well constructed. Fans of the NERVES, PLIMSOULS, SHOES, GUN CLUB or NICK CAVE will dig. LIMTITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Remo Voor- Toilet Love 7”
-Re-Release of the classic Toilet Love singles that sells for about $100 a pop on e bay theyse days!!! The single includes a new LOUDER version of Tolet love and Frog Grammar, as the original pressing was noticabely quiet. Remo Voor were a german based punk band from 1979 and released this groundbreaking debut 7" on Strawberry Records back in the day. "Toilet Love" and "Frogrammer" are both booted on one of the Killed By Death’s and one of the songs is also on Bloodstains across Germany. CLOCKCLEANER made a cunning cover-version of Remo Voor's Froggrammar. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

Discreet Doll Band- Back In Business 7”
-What the fuck is this fucking thing????? There's no info at all enclosed and no dates to be found....!!!!!! If this is a pirate of an old rare as shit single then I ain't hip to 'em even though I am old!!!!!!!! If this is new stuff then I still ain't hip to 'em 'till now, and I gotta say this record is just fucked up enough for me to dig!!!!!!! It’s got the poor man's production.....badly played, shitty photo-copy cover on orange paper....nice....!!!!! More or less sounds like it was farted out of some garage in 1976 and consisted of a diet of DOLLS, SIMPLY SAUCER, BERLIN BRATS, JONES, CRIME, THUNDERTRAIN, AGENT ORANGE, BPEOPLE, and GIZMOS!!!!!

Le Face- S/T 7”: Import Price
Awesome 2nd single from this new So. Cal. punk band. Le Face continue to amaze with this new single. Their debut was a killer and they're back with 3 new punk rock rippers. If you like bands like the Urinals, DC Snipers, Le Shok and the Reatards, check this one out. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND AWESOME!!!

DR STRANGE RECORDS (USA)
Government Issue- Make An Effort 7"
-"Make An Effort" was originally released on Fountain Of Youth Records in 1982. This re issue was re-mastered to perfection by guitarist Tom Lyle himself. This 7" has all the power and energy that made Government Issue the punk rock icons they are. For fans of Minor Threat, Void and SS Decontrol. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!

Narcoleptic Youth- Barbi In Bondage 7”
-When I placed this single on my turntable and started it, I thought for sure this must be a reissue of some old punk single that eluded me in my youth. I thought wrong as Narcoleptic Youth formed around 1992, but it’s pretty apparent that they were raised on 1980’s punk rock. Three of the four songs on here could easily fit in on any number of 1980s punk compilations and you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between them and bands that actually were from that era. If you live in Southern California you know NARCOLEPTIC YOUTH. If you don't you soon will. They've been headling gigs and sharing the stage with the likes of: The Adicts, Channel Three, D.I., TSOL etc.. for many years. This is a repress of their out of print self released 7'' w/an unreleased bonus song and is strictly ltd to 1000 COPIES. 500 COPIES ARE ON PURPLE WAX AND 500 ARE ON BLACK. THESE COPIES ARE ON PINK WAX AND ARE HAND NUMBERED!!!

Government Issue- A Hardcore Days Night DVD
-DC punk at it's finest. Here is some classic footage from Washington DC's GOVERNMENT ISSUE. This DVD features three complete live shows from the famous Wilson Center, Washinton DC in 1982, Philadelphia, PA in 1983 and the University of Pennsylvania in 1989. Captured raw and up close on video, this footage is hardly pristine, but that it survived at all after all these years is amazing. Always a fantastic live band, Government Issue grinds out the songs as singer JOHN STABB reigns over the enthusiastic crowd, injecting humor and chaos into the mix. Focusing on material from Government Issues classic albums Joy Ride and The Fun Just Never Ends, A Hardcore Days Night is a great view of Government Issue and the raucous punk rock scene in America in the mid-'80s.

999- Gimme The World 7”
-Yes, this is England’s 999 from the late 1970s. They’re back with three new gems! This single was LIMITED TO ONLY 400 COPIES ON THIS BLACK AND WHITE SPLATTER WAX, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE COPIES!! A must for the first wave punk collector.

Billy Bones- We’re Selfish 7”
-Billy Bones has been involved in punk rock for three decades now. He was the frontman for the legendary Skulls from Los Angeles back in the first wave of punk rock. After a couple years, The Skulls disbanded and many members sadly passed away. Nearly 25 years later, Billy reformed The Skulls with new members and put out a bunch of really enjoyable albums that not only didn’t tarnish the legacy of the original band but actually added to it, which is not an easy feat to pull off. A couple years ago The Skulls disbanded and after a bit of down time Billy Bones has returned with his new outfit aptly named The Billy Bones. They pick up right where The Skulls left off and if you didn’t know better, you’d really think it was the same band. In fact I wonder why bother with the new name except for the fact that none of the members of The Skulls carry over to this new band.

The Billy Bones music is 1970’s influenced melodic punk rock. You can sing along to it but it has a real punch to the music and isn’t the least bit wimpy. The guitars are loud and a bit distorted and the beat is pretty straightforward which sets for a great backdrop for Billy’s trademark vocals. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ON PURPLE AND GREEN SPLATTER WAX!!

Guttermouth- Balls 7"
-This second offering from SoCal's GUTTERMOUTH is just as obnoxious and rockin' as their first. They truly live up to their name. DR STRANGE JUST GOT A FEW RETURNED FROM A DISTRUBUTOR AND I SNATCHED A FEW UP. THEY’VE BEEN OUT OF PRINT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

Voodoo Glow Skulls- Est. 1988 7"
-What can I say about this band that you don't already know? They have horns, they're amazing live, they're punk as fuck, and there's a bunch of them in the band! This 7" has the best VGS songs yet, as well as a great cover of "Charlie Brown." DR STRANGE JUST GOT A FEW RETURNED FROM A DISTRUBUTOR AND I SNATCHED A FEW UP. THEY’VE BEEN OUT OF PRINT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

Skankin Pickle- The Green Album LP
-Pickles are easily one of my favorite vegtables. They compliment nearly every type of sandwhich, and you just can beat a dill spear in the morning. The same goes for Skankin' Pickle. They compliment nearly every style of mix tape, and their ska/punk is delightful to wake up to. This was Mike Park's last album with Skankin' Pickle. Originally planned as a cover ep, it consists mostly of cover songs chosen by each of the band members, but there are a few original Skankin' Pickle tunes as well(old demos from 89 re-recorded). The most notable covers are "Pay to Come" by Bad Brains, "Start Today" by Gorilla Biscuits, and "Special Brew", one of the greatest ska songs ever, by Bad Manners. "My Hair", "Ties that Bind", and "Rest of the World" are three of the better Skankin' Pickle songs. The most amazing fact about the Green Album is the budget....$735 !! Proof that little money does not always equal bad sound quality. Skankin' Pickle's musicianship is primo quality on the Green Album. Diverse vocals, a solid rhythm section, and horns as only Skankin' Pickle can deliver. Their happy-go-lucky style of ska/punk may not appeal to everyone, but they will impress you with talent alone. This is probably the most recognizable Skankin' Pickle album, and with good reason. Anything with pickles and Gorilla Biscuits is classic material. THIS IS A COPY OF THE FIRST PRESSING WITH THE OLD DR. STRANGE WITH THE OLD ALTA LOMA 7000-1117 PO BOX ADDRESS ON THE BACK!!

Government Issue- ‘Complete History Volume 2’ DOUBLE CD
-”G.I. was one of the biggest and most popular bands to have emerged from the D.C. scene of the early '80s. Playing with the likes of MINOR THREAT, SOA, IRON CROSS, and THE TEEN IDLES to name just a few. In this double CD release, a sequel to their Complete History Volume 1, you get the following LP's You, Crash, Finale and plenty of miscellaneous, rare, and unreleased live tracks. 51 songs in all as well as a 16 page booklet with liner notes from singer John Stabb, artwork from all the LPs plus great photos from G.I.'s personal vault. It doesn't get much better than this.” - Al Quint/Suburban Voice.

Stalag 13- In Control CD
-You read right! Here it is THEE classic Stalag 13 re ish!!. Stalag 13 emerged from the "Nardcore" scene of the early 80's along with other greats such as: Aggression, Ill Repute, Stretch Marks, RKL and Dr. Know. Nearly 20 years after its original release Oxnard's Stalag 13 return. On this reissue you get the original LP, the same classic artwork, and 4 bonus songs (!) never before released, as well as a great cd booklet with never-seen photos and old fliers! A must for all OC skate punk completists.

External Menace- Process Of Elimination CD
-At the beginning of the 1980s, EXTERNAL MENACE released two great 7" EPs on Beat the System and songs on various compilations before they quit in 1986. Just for fun they reformed with a slightly different line up and did a reunion in 1995 in order to tour the continent on a DIY basis and to record this album "The Process of Elimination" that was released on a small frech label. Well Dr. Strange re issued that long out of pring French release and what remains are beautiful memories and a great album that doesn't sound like a weak infusion of the original line up.

AVANTE RECORDS (Italy)
Los Llamarada- Against The Day 7”
-New single by this neo-psychedelic Post-Punk band from Mexico! The title cut sticks their rumbly Ut and Mars thang between thick gooey slices of A-Frames stomploaf. Lovely synth peppering, too. Cheveu fans oughta open their hearts for this one. “The Blanket Escape” is noisy and feedback-soaked monster, sounding like the GERMS meeting CABARET VOLTAIRE. Another winner from MEXICO. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES IN NICE THICK CARDBOARD COVERS!!

ONE PERCENT RECORDS (USA)
Brob- Empty Life LP
-Japan's Brob have been churning out vicious grind for 10 years now and finall you can behold their first full length. 22 tracks of audio destruction.

V/A- No Hold Back. All Attack! 3xLP SET
-This release, which was put together by various bands and labels (manufactured and distributed by Havoc Records), is cited as "a D.I.Y. scene release documenting the Twin Cities underground punk scene. And document the Twin Cities scene it does. You'll find everything here from garage rock and old school hardcore to blazing metallic hardcore (heavy on the metal) and non stop blazing crust. There are a lot of great bands on this thing, many of which you're probably not familiar with (I know I hadn't heard of most of these bands before). Good work. It's very rare for a compilation, much less a compilation of this size and scope, to be so strong throughout. There are very few tracks herein that I actually dislike. I know that some of these songs appear on other releases, so I'm not sure if many of these tracks are exclusive, but the release absolutely succeeds in acting as a document of the Twin Cities scene as it stands at this point in time. Stand out tracks include songs from: 1-2-Go! Crew, Calloused, Dillinger Four, Holding On, International Robot, Martyr A.D., Misery, Path of Destruction, Provoked, Red Vendetta, Season of Fire, Seconds Before and Too Pure to Die! THREE LP SET INCLUDE HUGE PULL OUT INSERT BOOKLET DOCUMENTING THE SCENE AND ALL OF THE BANDS ON THE COMP!

Putrescence- Dawn Of The Necrofecalizer LP
-Brand new album! Great Canadian death/grind attack mixing influences from TERRORIZER to UHHOLY GRAVE to NASUM. This is guaranteed to turn the dance floor into a river of fecal matter, home stilled alcohol and plasma-soaked chunks of gore in record time! Features an insane IMPULSE MANSALUGHTER cover!.

Killsadie- EP #2 7"
-Great aggressive noisy hardcore from Minnesota with a screaming singer and interesting harmonies. Imagine Rites of Spring on 45. This came out in 1998, and we got a few on the first press on CLEAR VINYL. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

INCREDIBLE SHRINKING RECORD LABEL (USA)

-Well F-Minus fans, this ones pretty hard to find. It's one of the ones with the way hard to find HAND SCREENED LP JACKETS!! The front covers screened in black ink, and the backs screened in blue ink. If yer wondering what the Los Angeles punk scene's been up to the last few years, this would be a good place to start. WAS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES AND LONG OUT OF PRINT!!

DIRTY PUNK (France)
Lower Class Brats- New Seditionairies LP
-This is the album all the young droogs have been waiting for.... A band truly in no need of an introduction, Austin, TX’s own LOWER CLASS BRATS are back with their first full length effort in over three years. With more than a decade of touring the world under their belt, “The New Seditionaries” finds the BRATS at the top of their game. This is without a doubt their greatest material to date: a vicious blend of the brutal spirit of Punk bands like BLITZ, MAJOR ACCIDENT and the ADICTS and the Rock n’ Roll swagger of SLADE, the SWEET and the ALICE COOPER BAND- all served up with the subtlety of a Molotov cocktail thrown at a police car. LP LIMITED TO 500 COPIES!!!

RADIO BEAT RECORDS (USA)
Geisha Girls- Disappearing Act LP
-Since its inception post disco and glitter years, Southern California's punk scene has bred a slew of bands creating innovative, dark, genuine and ground-breaking music. Orange County's Geisha Girls continue in that tradition, and for the past four years have played just that--real punk rock. TheGeisha Girls' music stands on its own; melodic and concise with a hint of abrasion. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!

POWER IT UP (Germany)
Terveet Kadet- The Horse LP
-An official VINYL LP reissue of the 1985 album by one of the biggest-ever names in the Finnish Underground! Little old Finland, which for some reason became perhaps the most intense hardcore Underground scene on the planet during that decade, spawned many classic bands, including RIISTETYT, RATTUS and APPENDIX, but in many respects TERVEET KADET led the way. Includes the original artwork, including the inserts! One of the high points in Terveet Kadet’s extensive back catalog.

MILK N HERPES (USA)
Dinosaur And The Missing Link- S/T 7”: Import Price
- Taking into account the then-recent discovery of methane in the atmospheres of Jupiter and the other giant planets, Dinosaur And The Missing Link postulated that the infant Earth had possessed a strongly reducing atmosphere, containing methane, ammonia, rock and roll, and water vapor. And these, these 4 songs were the raw materials extracted from the Spits, Oblivians, Reatards and GG Alling extracted for the evolution of life. 7” LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

SPIN THE BOTTLE RECORDS (Canada)
Fashion Fashion and the Image Boys- Scissor Jihad 7”
-Fashion Fashion checks back in after a long hiatus. Their songs on that split with the Functional Blackouts were pretty great, and this bad boy shows em continuing on in the same parkin lot swillin, reverb drenched direction. You can hear the sneer and moronic brilliance of the Angry Samoans as sung through an echo chamber and spat back out to the raucious noise of the Pagans or Crime. If you liked any of their earlier recordings this ones a must have. 4 new ones here and packed in a pretty damn snazzy 7” jacket. LIMITED TO 500 ON BLACK VINYL!!

Der Submarine Racers- Space Burrito 7”
-With the trash-rock aesthetic reaching it's peak of effectiveness in the late 90s, it's with great reluctance that the genre will ever cough up another stellar addition to its filthy annals, especially anyone from the already terribly trashy area of Los Angeles. So it is with much hesitance that the doors to the budget rock phenomenon are forced open just enough to allow Der Submarine Racers access to the 5 karat gold-plated kingdom previously held up by the likes of the Rip Offs, Mummies, Spoiled Brats and Supercharger. This debut 7" by Der Submarine Racers (the hilarious polar opposite of Chicago's Submarine Races) on the party-crashing Spin The Bottle label came waltzing through our stained-glass office doors with the cocksure confidence of Elka Zolot holding hands with Shane White, and within seconds of the title track's speaker-crunching racket soaking into our soft-boiled brains, we deducted that it's back-to-basics lo-fi scree drizzled over a glowing hot plate of noisy repetition that will suck you in faster than a South City streetwalker with a nervous tic. "Space Burrito" may be a metaphor that you're just not quite used to using yet, but once you incorporate it's mild retardation into your amateur comedy routine, it's all gravy from there. What exactly is a Space Burrito? It really doesn't matter unless it causes convulsions similar to Der Submarine Racers' shit-fi template of aural vomit, and after you hear it only once, just like "The Macarena" and "Pac -Man Fever" before it, the song will be stuck with you forever. As they wash away your sins with lavish layers of luxurious scuzz, Der Submarine Racers fill your head with visions of food-stained underwear tied around your head while trying to drive a car with a broken windshield in the rain, or more explicitly, the exuberant collision of fun and disaster. The b-side's "Skatebored" continues the tradition yet doesn't stick to your ribs the way "Space Burrito" does, but after that, what else could really matter?

HOLLYWOOD- Human BBQ 7”
-WOW killer hsit here. It's so noisy and punk rock it hurts. This has late-80s Alternative Tentacles or AmRep written all over it. Think of Pissed Jeans' material on Parts Unknown with a hint of the Cows or the Unsane mixed in for good measure. A side has some good advice: "Don't talk to strangers/They'll kill or rape ya." There's a phenomenon called synaesthesia where input to one sense triggers sensation in another. Well, I'm a bit of a synaesthete when I listen to this. When I hear this, I smell post-masturbation saliva on my hand, fireworks, and sweaty feet. Fucking awesome. BUY THIS NOW AND NEVER LOOK BACK. LIMITED TO 500 ON BLACK VINYL!!

XEROID RECORDS (USA)
Coconut Coolouts- Party Time Machine CD
-Seattle boners the Coconut Coolouts are some real gassers that have to be heard to be believed. The Coolouts feature an all-star goffball line up including members of the Charming Snakes, Invisible Eyes, Rat Fancy and the Cripples. Their dirty flavored party rock is just what this world needs right now. Kind of just how we needed the Ohio Express and 1910 Fruitgum Co. in 1968, but just less acidic and with more banana costumes. Their song “Party Jail” stumbles into budget rock territory in subject matter, rather than sonically, but features the staple handclaps and rolling basslines that's driven many of us to frenzied beer-dousing freakouts we used to get from the almighty Mashers, back when drugs were cheaper. If you dug their debut on Heads up, you need this one. Your Rip Offs, Fums and Spaceshits records will never sound the same.

HIT ME RECORDS (Norway)
Betong Hysteria- ‘Spontan Abort’ 7"
-This is the 7” that was originally released on Mind Expanding Records in 1983! Not only do you get the five songs on the original, but this one also comes with an extra track call 'Tredje Rike' from the same recording session as the original 'Spontan Abort' recordings!! Great early 7” from Norway's BETONG HYSTERIA (concrete hysteria) who were supposedly one of that countries first hardcore bands. They released this 7” back in '83 on their own label and the original is very hard to find these days. Members went on to be in other punk/hardcore bands from Norway such as SISTE DAGERS HELLIGE and KAARE & PARTIET. This single can't be touched. Distorto, mid-tempo songs complete with brutal, wailing guitar solos and some seriously gruff vocals make this 7”a true classic.

SVINDEL RECORDS (Norway)
V/A- Hurra For Norge Volume #2 (Norse Punk Rock from 1979 - 1986) CD

SUPERKINGS 'Vol.3 vs Vol.2!' 10"
-Hit Me hits hard with this great record. You know they discovered Turbonegro years back when they released their first single, so they know the rock!! This is a reissue of the first 2 Super Kings 7” inches that went in and out of print back in 1998! These 8 tracks of Supersuckers, Hellacopters fuel injected rock n roll could easy lay shame to any of the current batch of Gear Head losers. All 8 tracks rip on this tasy platter LIMITED TO 500 COPIES and packed in a super snazzy 10” jacket.

FEKALE BREKNINGER 'Toilet Rocker' 7”
-Fekale Brekninger pay homage to the mad man from New Hampshire....the one and only GG Allin. Opting wisely to pick select cuts from earlier in GG’s career they decimate Toilet Rocker, Hard Candy Cock and Bite It (You Scum). A nice GG tribute. There are TWO editions of this single. The 1ST edition contains the notorisous “banned” cover and comes packed in a trash bag with a sticker concealing the extrememly vulgar cover. These are pressed ON DIAREAH BROWN WAX!! And the 2ND edition of 400 come packaged in a low brow 45 sleeve ala Orange Records in the early 80’s and those are pressed on black wax. WE HAVE A FEW COPIES OF THE FIRST EdITION. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!!

The Åsmunds 'Who killed the man in you?' 7”
-4 songs of extremely catchy, tough punk from Norway. Has a good bit of Motorhead sound, minus the gruff vocals and plus guitars that absolutely tear through the top of the mix. Let's get drunk and play some punk! 500 HAND NUMBERED COPIES!!

THE RATCATS 'License To Rumble' LP
-13 track pure Punk-Rock´n`Roll from Petter Baarli (BackStreet Girls), Dan Thunderbird(BSG) and Andy Andersen(ex.Fuck Ups). Guest starring Casino Steel, Captain Poon(Gluecifer) and more.

BACKSTREET GIRLS- Hey Ho!, Let´s Quo b/w Hey Baby 7"
-The members of Backstreet Girls are a testament to the meaning of a “real” band. No fancy gimmicks; no silly recording tricks; no compromises. Listeners are instinctively confident that they are experiencing the empathy, excitement, and the “hard sweat factor” of “live” musicians; rather than an index finger on a digital sound module. This is the newest single from the Backstreet Girls who have been an undground staple in the Norwegian rock scene for the last 22 YES, TWENTY TWO YEARS!! This 7” has TWO editions. The 1ST edition of which there are on 100 COPIES with full color covers. And the 2ND edition of 400 that come in thick black unprinted 7” sleeves. WE HAVE A FEW COPIES OF THE FIRST EdITION. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!!

CCCPn - S/T 7" + CD SET
-What does the band name mean?? Heck, I have no idea!!?? Probably something in Sweden. These swedish miscreants create some blurry spazzed out punk rock in the vein of Henry Fiats Open Sore, Dean Dirg and the Reatards. Cacophonous noise that sounds pretty good to these ears. Another limited deal from Mr Ken Rock!! This is a 7” and CD set and the 7” is LIMITED TO ONLY 200 COPIES ON BLACK WAX. AND WE HAVE.................................A FEW!!

Mr. California And The Flintsone Sound Express- Crazy Toons 7”
-Newest single from Mr. California this time with Joe and D-Rock from Shoot It Up backing him up. 11 songs of crazed punk blur by in minutes. Its time to have some fun kids and Mr. California is here. He's gonna school you good with potty logic and you’ll never be so happy. Think punk rock weirdos SOCKEYE and MEN"S RECOVERY PROJECT for reference. LIMTIED TO 300 COPIES ON BLACK!!!!

Sinks - No Money 7”
-It's not too often these days that the words "lo-fi," "garage-punk," and "kick ass" come together in the “perfect harmony” that Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder nauseatingly sang about in their 1982 number one hit. But I'm happy to say that on this record they do. These tunes go down as smoothly as a swig from a rum bottle mixed in-mouth with a sip of Coke. What sets the Sinks apart from the pack are great songs and the fact that they kick ass. That later point is key. Whenever I listen to this record, I'm taken with just how much these songs rock. Great single here and LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Gut Reactions- You So Cruel 7"
-Guitars buzzing like a fly in your ear, if the fly had a thing for the Cramps or Scientists with the vocals cracked from cheerin, screaming and drinkin Night Train all day and a rhytymn section that the fly be friended while hanging around the garbage cans behind their practice space. The single contains 3 essential bursts of primate punk rock gruel in less than 6 minutes. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ON BLACK WAX!!!

Botox Rats- Kick Me Like Trash 7”
-Half G.G. Allin dirtbag grunt punk and half ripin early 80’s punk rock get mashed together by this new UK band band. It's hard to decide whether it would be more to throw bottles and see maybe if ya can get some kinda riot started or grab some girl and convince her to start dancing on tables with you kicking over drinks and ashtrays the whole time. This is the dirty medium between the two and chances are you won’t come out unscathed. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES. 150 ON BLACK, 150 ON PURPLE!!!

Disco Lepers- Government Took My Virginity 7”
-You know Ken Rock always dishes the finest in low brow, raw punk rock, and the Disco Lepers are no exeption. This snotty UK band lives up to the notoriously retarded band name. 7 Spits-ified punk songs that whirl my in minutes and it's no surprised the the Ken Rock seal of approval. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES. 150 ON BLACK, 150 ON SLIME GREEN!!!

SWINEHOOD – In Bad Shape 7”

-Yes 4 new ragers here. Yes Italian boy moved to the US to meet some Mr. Carlifonia and they started a brilliant band. If you don't trust kenrock in this world the helldo you trust? LIMITED TO 400 ON PINK OR BLACK WAX!!

BRUN DILL – Små Kukars Revansch I Samhället 7”

DOTS- S/T 7”
-Debut 6 track single here with ex member of Out With A Band and all are amazing. Great Italian styled Crappy no-fi punkrock that we all like. If some one said crap...we definately clap! Play some tunes on the DOTS myspace side http://www.myspace.com/idots and see them live on their US tour. LIMITEd TO 400 COPIES ON HOT BLACK PLATIC. Nice sleeve drawing from Rat-Tails. RECCOMENDED!!

-Posthumous single from these Seattle trash rock derelicts. 4 more tracks of Spitsified dummy-core. LIMITED TO 300 COIPIES!!

Wax Museums- Ancient Structure 7”
-The Wax Museums are back for another potent dose of retarded poppy garage, and we can only be so lucky. Another must have here if you’re a fan of any of there other singles.. Right up there with Tyvek for best new band. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!

The Mans- War Penis 7”
- Cro-Magnon Stone(d) Age "music" from this duo hailing from 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!!!


Snuffed By The Yakuza- S/T 7”
-Swedish dudes playing super fast machine-gun punk. HFOS-core, if you will. Awkward band name aside, these guys do four numbers, with the gem being "The Fall Guy", even though it's not specifically about the TV show. "Private Dick" gets real nasty in a GG-scumfuc lyrical style, meaning lots of talk about sucking clits and shit, but the refrain of "I'm a fucker, you cock sucker" did catch on with me somewhat. They switch it up on the fourth tune for some mid-tempo garage pop, proving they aren't necessarily a one trick pony. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS RECORDS (USA)
V/A- Lets Get Killed CD
-This compilation explores the current state of garage rock and punk rock with a heavy slant on the US trashy rock n roll scene. This collection opens up with the barnburner "Werewolves Dring" by The Girls, setting the stage for an awesome comp. It’s got a hand full of current garage rock staples mixed with a nice mixture of newer up and talent. Stand out tracks being from the Dissimilars, Shark Pants, King Louies- Black Rose Band, Man Or Machine, CPC Gangbangs, Knife Fight, Lover!, Tuff Loves, Digital Leather and the Spread Eagles. 19 tracks total and a nice cover shot with a taught young lass lookin like she’s ready to go down town.

The Prostitutes- Kill Em Before They Eat CD
-Ever do too much crank and your drinking cheap beer and eating Xanax hoping to calm down? Ever shot up in the bathroom with Sammytown of Fang, Blag from the Dwarves or G.G. Allin? Great! than "Kill Them Before They Eat" is the record for you. Kevin Prostitute (the most underrated punk rock singer of my generation) pulls it off with a fucking brilliant release. This is not only the best thing Kevin and the Prostitutes have done, but it's probably the most sincere punk rock record I've heard in years. Kevin IS punk rock. He has dedicated his life to the cause. The first 10 songs are brand new, and the following 6 songs were from 2 E.P. by The Inversions which were basically the Prostitutes under a different name. Kevin is even more pissed off at society than ever, and you can tell. The tunes are catchy as ever. Touching on topics like ex's, punk rock chicks, drugs, alcohol, drugs, and alcohol and more drugs. Warning, this record will make you relapse! This is not for the faint of heart!

Liars Handshake/Parkway Wretch- Split LP
-Parkway Wretch is where Crimshrine and the east bay left off. The Liars Handshake is an irish folk sing/drink along ala Against Me! The Pogues Hot Water Music.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!

Wongs- Nothing To Me 7" IMPORT PRICE!!
-Well what do you know there’s a new WONGS 7” out. This 7” contains 4 previously unreleased lost recordings from this great Rip Off Records band. They got a sound similar to THE PAGANS, and maybe a little DEAD BOYS mixed in. Does it mean this shit is retro? Nah, it's all WONGS baby!! The LP on Rip Off was no slouch and these songs sound as raw and trasy as I remember them. 3 originals and a Consumers cover. THIS 7” IS LIMITED TO 250 ON BLACK, SO GET EM WHILE YA CAN!!

Big Vinny And The Cattle Thieves- Addiction & Subtraction CD
-Here's a band that could easily contribute to the soundtrack that G.G. Allin, Stiv Bators and Johnny Thunders are probably making in Punk Rock Hell. Big Vinny & the Cattle Thieves sound like old-school gutterpunks, spewing about anal rape and violence from a graffiti-covered garage. "I Was a Teenage Premature Ejaculator" from their debut single is included here and is about as close as the raucious trio gets to a ballad, as Big Vinny laments his loveless formative years. 14 tracks in all here and not a mellow wimpy dud in the bunch. If you’re hell bend to hear a new band flyin the lewd and crewd flag that GG burried many years ago, this ones a must have. Surprisingly this is alot better than I was expecting based on the silly band name. But there’s some really good snarling punk tunes on this one.

Johnny Blood and the Transfusions/Hit By A Semi- Split 7"
-Tempe AZ based Johnny Blood and the Transfusions are trying to bring back their long lost love for classich brittish punk and adding a new twist to the old genre. They do it pretty compentantly and any fan of the older stuff TKO Records was putting out when they first started out, will dig. Backing Johnny Blood are the Orange County, CA based Hit My A Semi. Between touring, countless hours of promotion, and word of mouth reputation from their solid, dynamic, live shows, Hit By A Semi has recently begun to truely earn recognition on a national level. From their D.I.Y. hard work ethic to their passion for playing music simply for the love of it, Hit By A Semi continues to gain momentum and if their is one thing each member can agree on, it's that this journey has only just begun. This is their newest release and a must for the Hit By A Semi fan wanting the vinyl. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON CLEAR VINYL WITH RED BLOOD LOOKING SPLATTERS!

Chip Hanna/Broadway Squad- Split 7"
-After years of drumming and playing with the US BOMBS, Chip Hanna has stepped from outside the drum kit to find his roots. This time packin a flattop Martin acoutic guitar and an arsenal of songs. Chip is back writing some of the best blue grass, honky tonk songs and this split certainly isnt’ a let down. This split contains 2 Chip Hanna originals and is a split with a Pheonix band called Broadway Squad 7”. LIMITED TO 300 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON BROWN AND WHITE SWIRLY WAX!!

Sore Thumbs- Listen Up LP
-Get ready for the full length of the year!!!! These guys have been playing their nuts off constantly in the bay area for the last couple years gaining a great local following, and they have hit their stride with this LP. Bay Area Rockers SORE THUMBS remind me of the good ole days in SF. This band picks up where One Man Army, Swingin Utters, The Bodies left off! This LP captures the emotion and heartfelt feelings that singer Miles has for living. 14 songs of rough n ready street level rock n roll. UBER RARE LIMITED PRESSING OF 200 HAND NUMBERED COPIES ON CLEAR WAX WITH WHITE SPLATTERS AND A SMALLER EDITION OF 110 ON BLACK WAX! AND WE HAVE BOTH COLORS!!!

Big Vinny And The Cattle Thieves- I Was A Teenage Premature Ejaculator 7"
-If GG Allin never wrote a romantic ballad to his life(and I'm not sure if he didn't), Big Vinny's wrote it for him, years after GG's demise. And the world's a defianately a better place for it. It's the title track. Actually, the two originals on this 7" remind me of GG's country work: laid-back in it's own filth, heavy-drinking, self-depreciating, torn-throat and better than it should be. The third song's a GG cover, so they weren't working in a vacuum. A possible connection to the WONGS is hinted at in the sleeve notes and the blue 'n' black splatter vinyl is sure easy on the eyes. Fans of the Reatards, Johnny Thunders, GG Allin, Stitches will want. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES.

The Lucky Stiffs- Last Confession 7”
-Stolen equipment, stolen vans, and deported band members have never stopped San Francisco's Lucky Stiffs. Like their fans, The Lucky Stiffs always attempt to take an unselfish look at their music and challenge themselves to step into unexplored paths. In many ways this is a key to maintaining constant excitement and enthusiasm for their place within a genre of music too often hell-bent on repetition and limitation. While it's debatable if any studio recording could ever capture the energy that The Lucky Stiffs emit live, these three solid tracks truly stand their ground. These tracks give you some raw insight into what keeps this band going so strong and continues to electrify and inspire so many loyal fans. 7” LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON REALLY COOL LOOKING PURPLE AND BLUE SWIRLY WAX!!

-After a lengthy unexcused absence, GG Allin's Carnival of Excess is finally here and sounds better than ever! These outlaw country tracks were recorded in 1991 shortly before his death and are his most unique work to date. By his own admission, GG felt that these recordings were the favorite of his storied career. Carnival Of Excess includes 12 countrifed rockers featuring Outskirts Of Life, which has become a regular in Hank Williams III's live set. This new edition of Carnival Of Excess was digitally mastered by KRAMER at Noise Miami Studio in 2007. Experience GG Allin as the Nashville Superstar he never got to be. You will be surprised.

DITCH WATER RECORDS (USA)
Born Liars- Don't Tell Me I Know 7": Import Price
-Immediately after the needle drops, you will know where you stand with the Born Liars. Classic stomp up from the underground: Thunders, Dead Boys, Saints, Dictators, Real Kids...real rockers hanging out, letting it all hang out, getting down to unadulterated, guitar-driven hooks and melodies. No keyboard fat, no experimental filler. Not a band you stand in the back and cross your arms to. Dancing and wearing-a-little-beer music. Truly top of the trash-heap rock-n-roll. This 7" is very limited as only 250 copies were pressed so get them while you can. And get ready for the new Lp on Rankoutsider Records later this month.

DIRTY RECORDS (USA)
The Dirty Works- Biscuts And Liquor CD
-The Dirty works brew a dangerous mix of punk, metal and Confederacy of Scum trash rock into musical moonshine that will intoxicate you and leave you on the floor of the drunk tank wondering how the heck you got there the next morning. Most comparable to Antiseen or The Murder Junkies, the band takes degeneracy to a new low. Needless to say, this stuff makes the prefab shock schlock of Marilyn Manson et al look absolutely tame in comparison. Never straying from their hardcore punk rock and 80's metal roots the DIRTY WORKS manage to show a diversity seen very seldom in todays world of hottopic sniveling Pop Punk.

ROCKIN BONES RECORDS (Italy)
Permanent Voltage- Boom LP
-This is the final collection of the demo tapes by this wild Japanese trash’n’roll duo, a mix of early Guitar Wolf and Teengenerate… in this record you can hear their demo tapes + the tracks from the 7” split with the Motards + 2 compilation cuts, all remastered by Tim Kerr! Cool art by Kou and special guest Joe (Magnitude 3) plays guitar on a few tracks. LP LIMITED TO 300 COPIES!!!

Hellstomper/ Faggot Kings- Split 7”
-Her it is, the notorious Scum split!!! For my money Hellstomper is the best hillbilly-punk band around and their 2 tracks will be loved by every- GG Allin/ Confederacy of Scum/ Southern rock fan around. The Faggot Kings are members of the German Community Of Filth and they play 2 songs of whiskey fueled, muscular destructo-rock! 7” LIMITED TO 330 COPIES!!!

Thundertrain- Teenage Suicide LP
-A collection of high-energy rock'n'roll from this killer Boston five-piece recorded between 1974 and 1979. A roaring blend of rebel rock rawness, ripped with metal, punk and glam flavors, remastered from the original tapes, and sounding as raw and brooding as e
