PROTOKIDS - GEOMETRIC BOY
This is the official debut 45 of Paris own rising stars of powerpop (after the initial 'Kings Of The Hill' Single on on beloved PUSHMYBUTTON). The PROTOKIDS sound like edgy, working class teenage UK powerpop (PROTEX, KIDDA BAND, TRAINSPOTTERS, WHITE HEAT) add bouncy, jangly guitar nutso pop of the late 70 US (think HEATS, As, REAL KIDS) and with their charming BIJOUS-esque french accent - they take any punk heart by storm. This is right the stuff so many are hunting down - fanclub powerpearls compilations from the heydays. Get on your jeans jacket, these moped racers are on stages any of departement in the fifth republic and Europe in the summer to play the right sound at the right time. The 7" has four (!!) so-catchy-it-hurts songs for your pre-weekend jerk-off party - each two songs recorded by Benjamin Daurent of YUSSUS JERUSALEM in the basement and infamous LO' SPIDER.
SONICS - DO YOU LOVE ME/MONEY
Two pulverizing pounders from the deadly 'HERE ARE THE SONICS' debut album, now on 45rpm!
SUR ROYAL DA COUNT & THE PARLIAMENTS - SCREAM BABY SCREAM/SCREAM MOTHER SCREAM
Dig the utterly insane 1967 classic single 'Scream Mother Scream' and then warp your mind even more with the earlier and even more deranged demo 'Scream Baby Scream'. TOTALLY NUTS!
HIRAO, MASAAKI - NIPPON ROCK'N'ROLL (10")
10 song 10". "Nippon Rock'n'Roll" documents the rise of Masaaki Hirao. Dubbed "The Japanese Elvis", he was one of the famed Rokabirii Sannin Otoko (Three Rockabillies), alongside singers Mickey Curtis and "Kei-chan", Keijiro Yamashita. In early 1958, the rokabirii buumu (rockabilly boom) was born, the first youth music tribe in the Land Of The Rising Sun. Rokabirii may resemble US rockabilly, but the Nipponese variation is a more diverse dish. Hirao and his bands covers of Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and Little Richard are not kitsch renditions, but raw, desperate rockers. Hear a Paul Anka makeover, but put through a rocking mangle; a smattering of jazz; a twist of New Orleans; and some Japanese folk songs with a greased-down quiff. American occupation a distant memory, these boys wanted to party. Country and hillbilly music was a mainstay of young Japanese musicians working the GI base and jazz café circuit of the 1950s. Following the runaway success of a Japanese cover of Heartbreak Hotel (Hirao's version here has dynamite in its teeth), demand grew for more of this strange, new music. The need was met with a huge gala, the Nichigeki Western Carnival, which showcased the new rokabirii groups to thousands of screaming teenagers. Wild footage of the concerts, alongside that of burgeoning radical student movements, put fear of a wave of delinquency into the heart of the establishment. The studio numbers here are hardboiled, with unkempt live recordings that really rock. Tough drums back up honking sax, in a pedal steel pandemonium with slap bass. In the words of Elvis: these guys "get real gone".
BASS DRUM OF DEATH - BASS DRUM OF DEATH
This time it was just Barrett, lots of coffee, and a realistic reverb unit to give everything just a little of that stoned-in-outer-space-vibe.
LEFT LANE CRUISER - ALL YOU CAN EAT (PURPLE)
This album, 'All You Can Eat', was recorded in Detroit at the infamous Ghetto Recorders, and produced by legendary Jim Diamond (Dirtbombs, Fleshtones, Mooney Suzuki, White Stripes, etc). It showcases the band's high-voltage heavy punk blues style and is everything fans of their Alive debut expects and a lot more! Second pressing on purple vinyl.
MOIRA SCAR - SCARRED FOR LIFE
Out of the wreckage, three humanoids emerge under mask and spell bearing organ, trombone, sax, synth, guitar and drums. Countless wormholes blink and fizz in their wake. MOIRA SCAR's monster-wave death-glam sound has arrived, timeless and just in time, to defy the soul-death machine. Prepare for a music that explodes from its core. But don't brace yourself, there's nothing to lose but the manacles of your mind.
NEW BOMB TURKS - !!DESTROY-OH-BOY!! (20TH ANN. EDITION)
Super-deluxe GATEFOLD edition crammed with pix & liners by John Petkovic (Death Of Samantha) and a slew of musician fans PLUS innersleeve with LYRICS to one of the GREATEST punkrock albums EVER, baby!
OBNOX - CORRUPT FREE ALLIANCE (2LP)
Already their eighth album in only three years! 'Corrupt Free Alliance' features 17 scuzz-fi splatter gospel anthems, 12 originals and 5 covers, including Tom Waits' theme from 'The Wire', that runs the gamut from nasty punk flameouts to ardent slow-burners.
ACT-UPS - PLAY THE OLD PSYCHEDELIC SOUNDS...
...Of Today!" The Act-Ups were born in 2001 - A monster made up of one volt of Iggy, one hambone of Pickett, one shot of Hank, two injections of Jeffrey Lee and a case of bourbon. Their first record "I Bet You Love Us Too", released in 2003, was the perfect record for your late night garage party, filled with soul-punk anthems and rockin' rave-ups. "The Marriage of Heavenand Hell", their second disc, saw the light of the day (and hid in the cloak of night) in 2006, fired up by more whiskey than ever before and the demons that came with it. The record you now hold in your hands rests atop three pillars of pure fury: the two records that preceded it and the live energy this combo unleash upon unsuspecting pilgrims all across this land. Behold the Play The Old Psychedelic Sounds of Today!
BAD JOKE THAT ENDED WELL - THE BAD JOKE THAT ENDED WELL
Here it is! The first release from Stolen Body Records. The Bad Joke That Ended Well's self titled second album. A fierce psychedelic and garage rock album with dips into blues. Album comes with a FREE download. (It will be emailed to you after the purchase) "Stolen Body Records know what the fuck is up. Heavy drug addled blues, booze soaked rock'n'roll perversion. These dudes are keeping the English tradition of the fuzz drenched face melt alive. Do yourself a favor and buy that shit!". - Al Lover. "Prepare for the unexpected genius that is The Bad Joke That Ended Well". "Moving away from their country inspired last release, they've fully evolved, to become not only heavier, but adding a psychedelic flavour reminiscent of The Doors".
BLUE THINGS - BLUE THINGS (BLUE VINYL)
Reissue of one and only album of BLUE THINGS, who like the REMAINS, were influenced by the British invasion of the mid 60's. This reisssue is a exact repro of the original with hard carton sleeve and original RCA 'Edison-dog' label. BLUE VINYL
BORN LOSERS - CYCLE GUITARS
In these times of copious record releases, it was sort of strange that the Born Losers -a well-liked and already veteran band, with three excellent singles with successful sales- had still not waxed an album. It was not a matter of indolence, since their members were involved in all sorts of side projects, and their first LP confirms that The Losers were getting ripe for top-rank R'n'R. The results are exceptional indeed. Far from their early influences -namely, the sound of Davie Allan & The Arrows-, the band retains its peculiar sixties flavor, but their references have increased. The clear Arrows influence from their beginnings has now been replaced by ideas from the Challengers or the sound of the Ventures in their late Dolton records/early Liberty waxings: raw R'n'R, allied with pop melodies, jazzy touches and film music, without ever falling into corniness. In short, the music of The Born Losers is as intense and impressive as the image they project. We are fairly certain that this album is bound to be a commercial success, particularly overseas, where instrumental R'n'R is traditionally appreciated. The Losers are emerging as clear winners with this latest offering.
CAVESTOMPERS - INTRODUCING...
It's great to hear a brand new record that gives off electric sparks and a palpable sense of the teenage spirit that lies behind all great rock'n'roll sounds. The Cavestompers, six guys of Russian origin, from the city of Moscow. On this, their debut long-player, "Introducing.", The Cavestompers have woven together a truly fine tapestry of sounds - much of it resonating from the valves of vintage Eastern Bloc electronic technology, and instrumentation - breathing new life into familiar noises; building a thumping, swaggering collection of authentic future dance-party favourites in the process. The influence and style of punk rock isnt so far away, and hand in hand with the proclamations of the original Rolling Stones-era have been bound together in The Cavestompers style to form what we can term today as the new breed. So without any further ado, crank up your music machine, cue the disc and let your hips shake, your bootheels stomp and your head swirl, for as the boys in the band are proud to shout out loud: "we all cant stop the stomp"! The record came with a beautifull two sided insert print, photos of the Russian instruments and studios and photos of the band.
ELECTRIC MESS - FALLING OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH
Like their debut album, "Falling Off the Face of the Earth" was recorded at The Church in Brooklyn, engineered and mixed by David Horowitz (The Above), and mastered by punk legend Ivan Julian (Richard Hell and the Voidoids). 10 of its 13 songs have already been heard on radio stations across the U.S. and in Japan, France, Scotland, and Germany. Reviews: "...ear-piercing Farfisa, raucous guitars, driving rhythms and sneering vocals, echoing the surge of original punk that rocked a thousand suburban basements... Great original songs, blazing guitar riffs with neo-psych shades." (Hyperbolium) "Thirteen songs that move through the garage punk label perfectly... a band that makes a wall of 60's sound with total conviction." (Kick Out the Jams) "...uncompromising and unpretentious sounds of the great garage bands of the 60s... songs that catch fire right out of the gate and conjure images of The Yardbirds, the 13th Floor Elevators, The Stooges, and at times, even early Stones." (Burning Wood)
FUTURE PRIMITIVES - THIS HERE'S (BLACK)
Introducing the wild sounds of The Future Primitives, a psychedelic garage rock three-piece from Cape Town, South Africa. Formed in late 2011, they set out to experiment with sounds from the past and the present. Drawing influence from early rock n roll, 60s garage and first era psychedelic groups, The Future Primitives are inspired by the pioneers, misfits and unknowns alike. Their name hints at a contradiction that can be heard in their sound as the recordings are stripped of all technological advances, using beaten analogue gear and minimal microphone setups to record live to tape. Tracklist: TRACKLIST: SIDE A 1. Instro 2. I'm The Sound 3. Fall To Pieces 4. Sea Of Words 5. Try On Something That's Really You 6. Open Up Your Door SIDE B 1. Open Up Again 2. Little Doll 3. I Been Searchin' 4. Untitled (The Dream)
