If you're not familiar with this band, they're from Caen in France , share members with Amanda Woodward, they used to sound different when they were a 5 piece but since the original singer left the band they went into something heavier and noisier , between post hardcore and "psychedelic" rock.

From Ebulition
{ EBULITION48 } { cd }
Is it a book with a CD or a CD with a book? Countdown To Putsch raises the bar with regards to record "inserts" by putting together a 100 page book meets CD release. The seventy-two minute CD features fifteen new Countdown To Putsch songs as well as a lecture by feminist Susan Brownmiller. While the book does feature lyrics, it is far, far more than that. The three Putsch members have written and designed a book of lyrics, political essays, stories, interviews, parodies, and social commentary. It looks wonderful with a nice concise design and a plethora of photos. Musically, Countdown To Putsch is exploring a fusion of jazz and hardcore, and conceptually they are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be in a band. More than a band, Putsch is a group of artists trying to express their political ideology via music, image, and text.$8.00 ppd $11.00 ppd $12.00 ppd - Countdown to Putsch "Interventions in Hegemony"
From CrimethInc
{ } { 2x cd }
On this double CD, Countdown to Putsch push well beyond the current limits of their subculture's aesthetic, experimenting in search of a future for hardcore punk. The results range from discordant noise to free jazz to radical theatre, but all are challenging and unique, not to mention politically topical and eloquent. This is not the background music you've been socialized to stomach, but rather a provocation to sit down, think through, and draw upon. 36 songs in well over two hours, and a 44 page booklet to boot.$8.00 ppd $11.00 ppd $12.00 ppd - Daitro "Y"

{ out of stock }
After the split 10" with RAEIN here comes the new piece of music by this great emotive french HC band. Very mid-90s influenced melodic screamy hardcore, representing the "new wave" of french bands of this genre, like AMANDA WOODWARD, MIHAI EDRISCH, BELLE EPOQUE, APOLLO PROGRAMM etc. Japanese pressing from our good friends at Oto Records - Daleth/Blueshift "split"
From For Your Documentation
{ } { cd-r }
Daleth further develops its trademark lo-fi sludge, a hammering wash of overdriven drums and guitars that lends the texture of speakers squarewaving into rupture. The songs progress confidently, often shifting to angular, atonal, quasi jazz-inflected avant-metal, lilting post-rock hazes, and crescendoing passages of subwoofer-wobbling trudges and stutters. All in all, Daleth produces a sonic tension between exhaustion and mania, and while Blue Shift deals in similar psychological themes, it is through the use of quite different materials--namely, cacophonic, beatless violin riffs recorded in the red. From piercing shrillness to anxious quietism, Blue Shift produces tones of neurosis so palpable that someone needs to redo The Shining with these seizuring violin lines accompanying Nicholson's mental collapse. Recommended if you like: Floor, Isis, Noise.$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Daniel Striped Tiger "The Desert Bird"
From Mon Oeil
{ MO06 } { cd-r }
In order to give a second life to a few old songs, Daniel Striped Tiger re-recorded their first 7", The Desert Bird, for your listening pleasure. Expect a rawer sound due to the analog nature of the recording. Die cut fold over sleeves.$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - De La Hoya "Wipe the Slate Clean. Now Let's Begin"
From BD Records
{ BD07 } { cd }
The final release from this seminal melodic hardcore punk outfit and Rok Lok alumni. For years De La Hoya fucking ruled DIY punk and hardcore, and this disc serves as nice eulogy. Members went on to form Nakatomi Plaza and Marathon!$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Dear Diary I Seem to Be Dead "s/t"
From Dead Tank Distro

New Orleans hardcore, influenced by bands such as Page Ninety Nine & Reversal of Man. Nice simplistic packaging. LISTEN NOW!$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Dear Tonight "These Are Wires"
From Slave Union
{ SU012 } { cd }
"These Are Wires" is the first EP from DEAR TONIGHT, a 5-piece band from New York City. Guaranteed to excite, anger and frustrate, "These Are Wires" is refreshingly void of pretense and thereby delivers raw emotion and anger so visceral that it borders on uncomfortable at times. The band has drawn flattering comparisons to ANGEL HAIR, UNIVERSAL ORDER OF ARMAGEDDON, and even early INK AND DAGGER. This is a split release with dark city records. An excellent sign of things to come from the band. Check it out.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Dennis Naslund & The Child Bearing Hips "s/t"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW05 } { cd-r }
Three tracks spanning one hour. One track of field recordings from a tour back in 99, made in upstate NY, more than half of it processed beyond relevance. Another track of processed sounds, originally from tape experiments, but digitized to remove all artistic credibility, and interspersed with some casio jamming and bad singing. The last track is 100% pure, unrefined analog, and tells the story of a boy falling in love with entropy. He attempts to copulate with it despite being admoinshed from a priest who has traveled forward in time from the 50's, to stop him. Complete with a twisted version of 'happy birthday' to commemorate the birth of the couple's seed. Packaged in old sewing kits.$3.50 ppd $6.50 ppd $7.50 ppd - Dennis Naslund & The Teenage Matricides "Craig, Alaska - 'Attention, This Is A Public Service Announcement. If Your Own Children Kill You, It's Probably Your Fault'"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW01 } { cd-r }
A 40 minute noise-mess, quite linear, yet entrancing, all dedicated to the Alaskan murderess Rachelle Waterman. Dennis expresses his crush with this release, packaged in a valentine to the girl. Made with only tape recorders and a turntable, and packaged in full-color art, and even some CD Extra material on the disc. Shamelessly seamed, the sounds are born as one-channel tape and record manipulations, utilizing burned and melted material, then become a slow-building wall of warble, which climaxes in some nonsensical conversation set to intermittent shrill beeps and tones. After the fallout, left smoldering is some beautiful piano-ing, with the sound of a tape recorder being destroyed atop some truly awful singing.$3.50 ppd $6.50 ppd $7.50 ppd - Descolada "s/t"
From Gasping For Breath
{ G4B003 } { cd }
Passionate experimental hardcore hailing from the mountains of North Carolina, USA. Their sound resembles a sonic hurricane of intricate guitar parts, hypnotic drums and bass accompanied by some very dark yet melodic violin and keyboard parts. Their unique sound has been compared to a diverse variety of bands not limited to Isis, Sonic Youth, Party of Helicopters, Portrait, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Devola "Playing the Game of Revenge and Winning Every Time"

Okayama's legendary emotional hardcore band finally release their long awaited full-length. Together for over half a decade, Dip Leg has finely tuned their unique brand of emotional music.

From Release the Bats
{ RTB12 } { cd }
live during war crimes is a collection with the best parts from various older releases, all remastered and edited to work as a new fullenght album. the result is a epic mayhem. 6 songs in about 47 minutes. a industrial wasteland of futuristic electronics, hypnotic feedback assaults and atmospheric drones - a beautiful, yet grim, sonic bliss. the material is taken from the dusk tape (released on jyrk, the bands own imprint), the demonic cdr (hung like a horse) and the drill cdr (snse). everything was recorded live between may and june 2004.$8.00 ppd $11.00 ppd $12.00 ppd - Down in the Dumps "Dumps Luck"
From Kiss of Death
{ KOD09 } { cd }
Down in the Dumps generally received positive reviews and was lauded because of its visual style, cinematic approach and good graphics, although the humour wasn't appreciated by everyone. Some people also complained about the lack of a real ending to the story, offering a resolution to the situation of the Blubs, and therefore the pointlessness of the whole game. This is because the fifth part of the story – the real ending – is easily overlooked, as it can only be accessed after the credits roll at the end of the fourth episode, as if the developers intended it as an easter egg.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Dutch Elms "Music For Happiness"

From Sabotage Records
{ SAB00CD } { cd }
After eight years, three albums and several tours around Europe, Finland's ECHO IS YOUR LOVE are back with their finest album. Humansize is a tight and unique mix of no-wave guitar madness, dreamy indiepop melodies, hardcore aggression and danceable post-punk rhythms. Haunting female vocals, sometimes angry, sometimes heavenly, wash over shards of guitar noise and shuddering drums, like if the girls from the B-52s were invited to sing with the one band that wants to save the world with its noise.$8.00 ppd $11.00 ppd $12.00 ppd - Elementary Thought Process "Everyone's Anyone"

More than hour of chaos and agony.$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Empty Silos Echo War "Inner Working Mechanics of a Failed Construct With Puritan Cement"
From Rok Lok Records/The Children's Revolt
{ RL20 } { cd }
cover“Inner Working Mechanics of a Failed Construct” is more than simply a follow-up recording to the Empty Silos Echo War debut, “Semantics.” It is quite literally its companion piece, a sister record, with most of the compositions and arrangements completed during the same time period as those on "Semantics" though they would not appear so on face value. These songs were finally committed live to record six months later, with Phil Douglas of Latterman fame. Explosive rhythms, electrified guitars and voices make up landscapes that are violent and ecstatic, often in the same instant. Many of the same themes as the first record are explored, but while the “Semantics” LP was recorded largely as an exercise in chance and improvisation, “Mechanics” had a specific design and intent, straight from its initial conception. The trio retained more of a set structure of instrumental roles as well, all the while pushing to truly know their own limits as players in this highly cinematic work. For these reasons, in an effort to offset the record from its elder sibling, these songs were recorded entirely in the digital domain, but with the same minimal overdubbing as allowed on the last release. The most exciting possible soundtrack for driving and sleeping, if such a thing exists, this shit will make you squirm nervously in your chair and rock restlessly in your sleep. I am really proud of this release and the accomplishments the band has made as being recognized as one of Long Island's finest forty minutes to be spent. I remember falling in love with this album when it was just a short run cd-r release on Children's Revolt for their summer 2004 tour. Pressing of 500 with varying colored sleeves and insert.

Totally out of left field comes ENTROPY, a pretty stellar building metal / doom outfit. It's really heavy at times, really dark at times, kind of sounds like these guys have spent some time listening to ISIS / NEUROSIS / RED SPAROWES / PELICAN / BORIS / etc but don't just copycat like so many, it's really well crafted heavy music.

{ FDO29 } { CD }
For their third full-length release, Even In Blackouts has taken another step in the progression of their sound. Every track on Fall of the House of Even takes a separate approach as if they were different rooms in a decrepit house. Each one of those rooms carries its own occupant, and with that entity comes different musical influences ranging from punk, bluegrass, jazz and R&B. Match the occasionally dark undertones with their always present energy and angelic female voice, and you get EIB’s most inspired release yet.$9.00 ppd $12.00 ppd $13.00 ppd - Explosivo! "The Uh Oh EP"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL06 } { cd }
I was so stoked to do this record as it featured members of two of my favorite LI bands ever, Splurge and The Howards! "The Uh Oh EP" is six tracks of melodic punk with elements of Weezer floating around that is catchy as fuck. Plus there is a wheelchair on the cover.

From Appliance Records
{ AR01 } { cd }
The wait for Fighter Hayabusa’s proper debut has seemed like forever but let me assure you that Can Kill a Shark With Their Bare Hands is well worth the wait. Being a fan of much of this cleverly named (I fucking love bands named after characters from old school video games!) band’s previous creative efforts by way of Five Stars for Failure and The Minor Times, I was anxious to see what this new project would bring to the table. And boy does this ep not waste a single minute in delivering the goods. With a heavy late 90s screamo influence present that is akin to Sleepy Time Trio and one of my all time faves of this genre, Twelve Hour Turn; Fighter Hayabusa rips through six songs that are filled with jagged guitar riffs, desperately screamed vocals and plenty of start/stop dynamics. Plain and simple if you are into the aforementioned bands you definitely need to check this out. LISTEN NOW!$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Flowers and Cops "The Invasion of Everyday Life"

From UGexplode/Mountain Collective
{ MTN027 } { cd }
Multi-instrumentalist composer, improviser, and drummer Weasel Walter is the only constant in this rotating cast of players on this cd which collects live, alternate takes and unreleased material from the various Luttenbacher line-ups from 1996-2000. The Luttenbachers touch upon the genres and attitudes inherent in free jazz, death metal and punk rock. They prioritize speed, velocity and harshness and avoid obvious rhythmic, harmonic and melodic constraints, thereby creating weird, extreme and complex music. The cd contains inclusive liner notes for each song which include the group line-up and album-era and such asides as- the band stepped on stage just seconds after Weasel had punched out the dressing room mirror, everyone could feel the desperation and psychosis. The trio proceeded to strafe the crowd with an assault of epic proportions. The two different line-ups presented in this retrospektiw are the drum/bass/guitar satanic trio and the formation that followed, which was a largely free-improvised affair consisting of drums/sax/cello/contrabass. I wouldn't really consider the trio music "noise" per se: it's noisy, but the songs are tightly-composed- think Sun Ra meets Black Flag, while the free-era, even with all-acoustic instrumentation, the music is just as hard-hitting, though not as structured. For listeners new to the Luttenbachers, this is a good cd to pick up to see what past era of the Luttenbachers you like the best because as one never to stay stagnant, Walter has recruited two new players and has yet again moved in a new direction which can be described as "brutal prog" and has a new release on Troubleman Unlimited. - Jason Ziemniak (Clamor)$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Fog in the Shell, The "A Secret North"

From Level Plane Records
{ LP94CD } { CD }
Graf Orlock is a cinema-grind band from California, who weave an intricate mesh of conceptual brutality. Through the vehicle of late 80s and early 90s action films, Graf Orlock create a potent social commentary in a theme that permeates lyricism and live shows. Their new release on Level-Plane Records, Destination Time Yesterday, explores a wide range of critical topics through the medium of concise, intense, and aesthetically rhythmic songs, coming to fruition in a chaotic sensory barrage. Graf Orlock uses a brillant formula that I am surprised has never been used before. This one made my 2006 top ten list for Under the Volcano .$10.00 ppd $13.00 ppd $14.00 ppd - Graf Orlock "Destination Time Tomorrow"

Jiyuana defies mediocrity by playing passionate hardcore that can be compared to bands like Raein and Joshua Fit for Battle. This band actually cares about everything it says and does and is worth your your time. To say that there is a lot of heart going on here would be an understatement.

From Valiant Death
{ VD018 } { cd }
Joe Jack Talcum's Home Recordings collection is 24 tracks spanning 13 years of Talcum's musical career. Best known as the guitarist and vocalist for the band the Dead Milkmen, this CD pays homage to Joe Jack Talcum's solo recordings, while only the tip of the iceberg of Joe Jack's complete music works, it still remains as an important collection of some of Joe's best loved songs. Joe's honest song writing and unique vocal and instrumental styles have clearly developed over the years and this collection serves as a testament to Joe's talent and style, and we release it in hopes of Joe's music being enjoyed by fans new and old. Joe's personal style transcends genre as the songs on this album range from heartfelt acoustic guitar tunes to songs that are highly reminiscent of Joe's days with the Dead Milkmen. Originally released on home produced cassettes, these songs have been performed over the years by various projects in Philadelphia and have become unforgettable to those who have heard them. This album features the voice and guitar work loved by fans of the Dead Milkmen but explored on a deeper and more personal level. Catchy arrangements of instruments bring to mind the Beatles, Tom Waits, Daniel Johnston and Joe's lyrical style is of course much like the Dead Milkmen. This is an amazing album of acoustic, punk, and rock music from an amazing musician whose been active in and out of the spotlight for over twenty years.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - John Q Public/The Falsies "split"

Following on from their previous releases on Doghouse and Immigrant Sun, Dan Coutant and Co. bring us a swansong that retains their trademark "emo" sound but also expands their musicianship and creativity. These songs maintain the aggressive, energetic, post punk feel that Joshua became famous for whilst touring with the likes of Get Up Kids and Burning Airlines.

Played on home-made instruments, this is the work of comic artist Christopher Forgues, who creates music with intensity and depth, working with frequency rather than notes, and occasionally annihilating everything in great swathes of white noise that are paranoid in their effect, especially when they arrive unexpectedly in the headphones causing the reviewer to jump several feet in the air and rush for the volume knob.

From Level Plane Records
{ LP98CD } { CD }
LIFE AT THESE SPEEDS explode with hope. Their songs are frantic, careening slashes of resistance against the tumult and panic of this world. There's desperation in their voices, as if this were a final act of accusation against power; but at the same time a soaring, chiming, sandpaper beauty promises that there's more to life than damnation. The intertwined guitars, leap and cut at each other; the stuttering drums and their embracing rhythms; the solid, binding bass notes; the passionate vocals - but that's not what makes it. It's a deeper thing, a shared heart and an unabashed love of creation that makes To Your Health a record that will save lives$10.00 ppd $13.00 ppd $14.00 ppd - Loma Prieta "Last City"

This new Albany, NY 3-piece has been making a name for themselves on the screamo/emo scene. Double vocals, blending screaming and singing in as many different ways as they can, this band has drawn comparisons to everyone from Song of Zarathustra to Drowningman to Engine Down. Heartattacked #31 stated: 'there is no doubt in my mind that, unless they break up, this band is headed for greatness.'$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Madeline Ferguson/Bury Me Standing "split"

Madeline Ferguson is also back with a new 5-piece lineup that bears little resemblance to the 3-piece lineup on their previous CD. A much more energetic and diverse sound, still as urgent and frantic as before, but with more of an Iron Maiden influence showing up amongst the rocking and screaming. Being emotional never sounded so frightening. Bury Me Standing come back one last time with 6 songs that were recorded shortly before their demise. Imagine the brutal metallic hardcore with brains and conscience they were making before, but throw a lot more chaos into the sound. Male and female vocals that are absolutely insane (but beautiful when they need to be), truly hammering rythyms, and all out insanity.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Marah Mar "s/t"
From Scenester Credentials
{ SC007 } { cd }
Delicate cello lines gain momentum until they burst apart at the seams, textural noises are pealed away exposing an underlying song, guitars collid in a wide stereo field to cascade and weave together. These are amongst the most apt descriptions of Marah-Mar's self titled debut album, a collection of songs as memorable for their mood and atmosphere as they are for their melodic counterpoints. Elements gleaned from electronic music, instrumental groups such as Dirty Three, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, and GSYBE, as well as a vast body of psych rock, jazz, and chamber music all contribute to an aesthetic that dazzles the ears and entices the imagination. Marah-Mar recorded in the capable hands of Tucker Burns, a talented engineer whose sstudio built in an abandoned church provided the perfect atmosphere to capture the group's expansive sound. This is music that rewards the listener who can lost themselves in the epic sounds and the cinematic imagery that Marah-Mar skillfully creates.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Mass, The "City of Dis"

Ninety-nine Aprils is Mr. Blanding's Dreamhouse sophomore release and captures the bands growth both musically and personally. Far better production and new band members help shape a sonic difference for the band over their first s/t CD released in '98 on SKAM Records. MBD plays a type of indie rock that is emotional and fearless. Female fronted vocals, with male vocals backing up and taking the lead from time to time, supported by capable druming, clean and distorted guitars and driving bass work. Not afaird to rock out or slow it down a bit MBD shaped what they called "apple-core" or what others called "cuddle-punk into 3 minute plus long tunes about relationship woes and growing up and apart. The band first formed during the tumultuos years of highschool and toured a number of times after graduating with bands like House of Large Sizes and the Bent Scepters. The band decided to call it quits after nearly 7 years together. Members of this band went on to form other bands in Iowa City and regionally but MBD still holds a special place in the hearts of all who were involved over the years.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - MSBR/The Haters/Nothingisttrue "Phoenix Asteroids Research Team"

From The Perpetual Motion Machine
{ PMM012 } { cdep }
Welcome Brooklyn, New York’s young instrumentalists and the newest addition to the Perpetual Motion Machine family, NEW ELECTRIC. Although all four members of the nascent New Electric had studied jazz in college, the initial practice sessions for this new project found the four pursuing heavier rock dynamics - the equally classic sounds of folks like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin and Fugazi colored their music more than anything else, and allowed the quartet to dedicate their academically honed talents to create an interesting blend of free rock, prog, psychedelic, punk and other non-traditional elements. This highly passionate and refreshing four song, twenty minute odyssey documents their finest work to date, recorded in October 2004 to analog tape by Josh Clark at Brooklyn’s Seaside Lounge, home to past works by Radio 4, Black Dice and The Brought Low, among others, with mastering by the mighty Alan Douches at West West Side. New Electric features members of the late De La Hoya and of the current indie collective, Nakatomi Plaza.

The record brings 12 brand new harsh,pissed off hardcore songs. Soundwise the production of this record is much better and more `` in your face`` than on the first record, combined with a really nice 12 pages layout, this record is a killer and a must. the now-denial started rehearsing in early 2001 and played first shows in the summer. first planned as a project of longtime friends christian, philipp, jens, soeren and hans to share the love for harsh, pissed off hardcore/ punk, it soon became clear that it had to be more. so they recorded for a benefit split 7" for the criminalized people of the genova protests against the g8 with their friends seein red. it came out early 2002 on tomte tumme tott. the many many shows they played had the result that hans quit due to time problems and his popstarcarreer. but the whole 5 piece recorded the first full-length "truth is on fire" in may 2002 on scorched earthpolicy/ flowerviolence/ damaged records that came out in fall. the now-denial continued as a 4 piece spreading their mixture of live-entertainment, political agenda and a big fuck you all around germany, holland, belgium and austria. the first bigger tour was in march/ april 2003 to france and spain with artimus pyle from okland/ california/ usa. right before the tour another benefit split 7" came out on tomte tumme tott records/ repulsive force (japan). this time with highscore and for the trial costs of people of the gothenburg protests against the european union. the year 2003 has been the busiest for the band so far, because they went on tour in fall again. durango 95 was the partner in crime and they headed to greece, macedonia, bosnia, croatia and austria. after that the preparations for a second album started. tons of shows and a small tour with strike anywhere slowed down the process, but now, finally, the new album "viva viva threatening" is out on scorched earth policy and sabotage records.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Now Denial, The "Obey, Adapt, Shut Up and Die"

In teaming up with our friends at Eugenics Record Label to make the On the Might of Princes reissues a reality we have been able to bring "Where You Are and Where You Want to Be", which is an absolute masterpiece to be a part of the Rok Lok discography and I for one couldn't be more thrilled. "Where You Are & Where You Want to Be" is one of the best 48 minutes of music ever commited to tape and is an absolute must for anyone's collection. Years before screamo became the popular movement that it is today On the Might of Princes was treading those grounds and leaving an impression like no other. Originally released by Creep Records and the legendary Traffic Violation Records, this deluxe reissue of "Where You Are & Where You Want to Be" has been remastered and has had three bonus tracks as well as multimedia section with a video and a link to a site with exclusive content-video, streaming audio and photos. This deluxe reissue comes with a beautiful 24 page booklet that is wrapped up in a striking UV coated O-card.

Finally. After years of being out of print, the album that started Rok Lok is back in print and in a big way. With the help of our friends over a Eugenics Record Label we have put painstakingly amount of effort to make the reissue of the debut album from On the Might of Princes all that more special, and fans of the band will appreciate that. "The Making of a Conversation" has been carefully remastered so it could be heard the way it was intended to. Additionally there are now three bonus tracks as well as multimedia section with a video and a link to a site with exclusive content-video, streaming audio and photos. This deluxe reissue comes with a beautiful 24 page booklet that is wrapped up in a striking UV coated O-card. On the Might of Princes later became known for their dynamic approach to screamy hardcore that melded meldoicism as much as it did dissonant guitar textures, but "The Making of a Conversation" is the beginning of the story that finds the band utilzing a more accessible post hardcore song structures 'ala Sunny Day Real Estate while intertwining with influences ranging from Fugazi to I Hate Myself to Failure. The process of putting these reissues has been a long one but easily one of the most rewarding experience in doing this label.

From Level Plane Records
{ LP90CD } { CD }
Inspired by their common love of the dark and dirty sounds of late 70's and early 80's New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, the mighty SAVIOURS formed in Oakland, California, over the summer of 2004. Former YAPHET KOTTO members Austin Barber (vocals, guitar), Scott Batiste (drums), and Mag Delana (guitar, also formerly of BREAD AND CIRCUITS), joined together with bassist Cyrus Comiskey (DRUNK HORSE) and 3rd (!) guitarist Tyler Morris, intent on saving heavy music from its current state of lackluster purgatory. With the demonic vibe of classics like BATHORY, VENOM and even BLACK SABBATH in mind, Barber began to scrawl blasphemous diatribes that would make even the most thick skinned Christian rockers shiver in their shoes. Meanwhile, guitars were down-tuned, distortion was cranked up, and a powerful, sub-harmonic, rhythm section lay down unearthly grooves. SAVIOURS erupted with a brain-shattering growl, finding a destructive sound that pays homage to their NWOBHM heroes as well as nods to more contemporary influences such as KARP, MELVINS and EYEHATEGOD.$10.00 ppd $13.00 ppd $14.00 ppd - Screen House Music "Volume One"

Talk about unexpected. All of us that use Myspace know all about getting bombarded with friend requests from every jock emo rock band looking to add their friends number to their press kit that it seems almost impossible to come across any musician with integrity and talent so most of us just hit the deny button. On a whim when receiving a invite from Screen House Music I clicked on the page and entered a world of sound that I couldn't beging to fathom. Playing loose structured, almost improv based and acoustic ambient songs that remind me of the avant garde folk of Jandek or quiet noodling of such indie bands like Calexico or Rex.

Seanews are from Paris, France, this is their self titled first full length after a MCD and a split EP with Unlogistic. I’ve never heard of this band before, but I think this album (11 songs, 36:34 minutes playing time) is pretty entertaining. Imagine a mixture of Dischord bands and the mid 90s Revelation sound and you have a clue how this band sounds like. And with the new generation of Revelation bands such as Temper Temper, Pitch Black or Call Me Lightning not sounding completely different all fans of this sound should take a listen. I don’t know, but sometimes the vocals remind me to Ernie of Token Entry / Black Train Jack which isn’t a bad thing after all I guess... On top of that you get a good production and really cool songs, so why not checking out this nice band ?$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Searching for Chin/The Wake "split"
From One Eye Records
{ ONEEYE01 } { cd }
This is a split metal/hardcore dealie between Ontario's Searching For Chin and Michigan's The Wake. Searching For Chin pull out all the stops with technical guitar melodies and explosive drum blasts. They're good at building up to climaxes. Oh snap, were those wind chimes I heard? Nice touch. The Wake are equally brutal but super versatile as well. The songs are much more guitar-driven, reminding me a bit of A Life Once Lost. Nine songs total of excellent metalcore here; I don't know what else to say.$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Secret Seven "Take it Back"
From Thrash Steady Syndicate

20 new songs from this quintessential fastcore / thrash unit. Plus 15 songs from 2 previously released split 7"s. 35 songs of furious old school hardcore thrash attack!

Powerfully violent and chaotic screamo that is a cross between Reversal of Man and La Quiete$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Silencio "Dead Kings"
From Mountain Collective
{ MTN32 } { cd }
Instrumental. Silencio (from Columbus, OH) combines many different styles including harcore, noise, metal, jazz and others to craft very precise and explosive songs. Silencio shares some common ground with the Flying Luttenbachers (longer, more composition oriented racket), Naked City (genre switching, mind boggling, manic intensity), and late Iceburn (unbelievably good musicianship used to make totally innovative music). Silencio are truly forging new ground in music.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Skullflower "Orange Crayon Mind"
From Crucial Blast
{ CBR45 } { cd }
The new full length from the legendary UK free/drone/psych outfit Skullflower, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (the man behind Skullflower, as well as Sunroof!, Total, and The Hototogisu) has unleashed to date, in our humble opinion. Orange Canyon Mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome Exquisite Fucking Boredom (Tumult Records), and continues that albums utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks/60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.

Over the years music reviewers have gone to countless lengths to find comparisons to Space Robot Scientists and have always come up short handed. Yeah while they've gotten some of the influences right as Public Image Limited, Wire, Devo and Atom and His Package but it just doesn't really do this unique trio justice. On the sophomore effort from Space Robot Scientists there are sounds that revel in the angular noisy post punk while others mingle in a electro-Clash dance music playground. 1000 made in one pressing with 800 clear purple trays and 200 with clear trays.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Sparrows Swarm & Sing "Untitled #2"

From Rok Lok Records
{ RL22 } { cd-r }
*Back in stock for a limited time* “Nine Untitled Songs” is the first Stars Are Insane release since 2001's out of print “Gay” and was written to have it's compositions selected for use in an original film. Following in the tradition of previous Stars Are Insane releases the songs captured here showcase a wide palette of minimalistic ambient sounds that linger and slowly ebb and flow to create songs out of mere washes of sound. Taking nods from such shoegazing noise torch bearers My Bloody Valentine as well as contemporary atmospheric indie rock giants as Explosions in the Sky, Stars Are Insane is able to take sounds and found melodies that may be deemed useless by the casual songwriter and cultivates such lush compositions that bears more resemblance to atmospherics rather than just songs. “Nine Untitled Songs” should serve as primer to new fans and as an aural listening pleasure to long time fans of this cult four track recording project. Each one comes in an intricate handmade package. Made in two separate pressings of 50 with varying colors of sleeves for a total of 100.$5.00 ppd $8.00 ppd $9.00 ppd - Striped Basstards "Complete Di(y)scography"

From self released
{ self08 } { cd-r }
This here proves that DIY and punk is more important than any trend or marketing scheme that trades to mask what is viable about this network we have. Structures is a band that features my pal Thomas from the UK. He started mailordering from me a few years back and over that time we have become pen pals. We have shared countless correspondces sharing with each other by way of a letter or email our thoughts, hopes and dreams. So now with me carrying the Structures cd in the distro a circle of support has been completed through the beauty of DIY networking. Even though separated by an ocean and cultures the bond of support eachothers projects and ideas is resilent. The vast majority of the records I carry are a result of networking but carrying this record is extra special because of its representation of the years of dialouge Thomas and I have exchanged. Structures play heartfelt emotional screamo tinged DIY punk rock from the UK. A mix between Small Brown Bike and Short Supply. Comes in a tight bare bones yet creative handmade packaging.$3.00 ppd $6.00 ppd $7.00 ppd - Ten Volt Shock Unit "6null3"

From Tor Johnson
{ TJR008 } { cd }
Connecticut DIY hardcore mainstays They and the Children offer up a six-song attack of crushing vocals, dense and searing guitar work, and bombastic drumming. Tackling a variety of styles, they seemlessly incorporate thrashing fast parts, huge riffs and melodic interludes, taking cues from bands such as Majority Rule, Isis, and From Ashes Rise. After honing their sound for over two years playing with everybody from Melt Banana to Mono, Ampere to Dead Meadow, these five dudes can rip some seriously devasting and epic hardcore.$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Third Memory, The "et de cela rien ne ressort"

This is easily one of the best screamo records that I have ever heard. The lyrics are sung in French but that don't let that be the reason to pass up on the amazing album. French emoviolence with a huge handful of melodies, think La Quiete and Tristan Tzara mixed with some old-style emotional moments and, may i add this, they rock like hell. The Third Memory will not disappoint, I promise you that. LISTEN NOW! - This Time We Will Not Promise and Forgive "s/t"

From Level Plane Records
{ LP96CD } { CD }
Oops, they did it again! It seems that TORNAVALANCHE has once again struck paydirt with their newest EP No Money, No Problems, a split release with Init Records and Level Plane. The double drummer action of TORNAVALANCHE, sets a furious pace that the guitar players can barely keep up with. (That's right, not only do they have two drummers, they have two guitar players, three if you count the bass as a guitar.) At times TORNAVALANCHE's No Money, No Problems seems slightly derivative of TEN GRAND or FORSTELLA FORD, but evidently members of TORNAVALANCHE did session work with these bands in the late 90's and in to this century. No Money, No Problems sets a gold standard for the 2006 hardcore/indie/noise/double drummer genre, and considering the impending bull market in gold, you would be very wise to purchase multiple copies of this album.$8.00 ppd $11.00 ppd $12.00 ppd - Transistor Transistor "Erase All Name & Likeness"
From Level Plane Records
{ LP77CD } { CD }
Since 2001, TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR has been touring relentlessly and releasing various EPs demonstrating a love affair with loud, aggressive rock music. At the beginning of 2004 though, TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR found themselves at the end of a five-week European tour and down two members. Instead of closing up shop like so many of their peers, TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR found countless reasons to press on and reinvent themselves. Almost immediately James Moller and Brad Wallace, who played in ORCHID, BUCKET FULL OF TEETH and WOLVES, were added to the line-up. Wallace and Moller, both being long time friends of the band, synched up perfectly and sparks were flying from the first practice. Not a step was lost, and the band had every reason to think big and begin writing new songs, demonstrating this new found chemistry. TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR effectively locked themselves in a practice space for the next seven months, working harder and being more critical of themselves than ever before. In Name and Likeness is the result of a labor of love and of a band ready to take a look at its core songwriting values and explode them in every direction possible. Fans of the band will find TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR to still be in love with loud, driving rock songs, but will find these new songs to be heavier, more complex and more dynamic than any previous releases. They will also find TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR stepping out of their previously defined boundaries and exercising some post-rock leanings indicative of a band not afraid to evolve. Lyrically and thematically focused on issues of identity and presentation, In Name and Likeness is a passionate display of loud music finding a new voice. Whether it be the familiar stylings of the 90 second "Sweet William" or the 13+ minute "A sinking Ship full of Optimist," fans old and new will find something to bang their heads to.

From Valiant Death
{ VD040 } { cd }
This is a re-release of Wax & Wane's first neo indie folk masterpiece, WInter. Wax & Wane bring forth a unique drawing from countless influences new and old. The band's songwriting is very organic and fluid, inspired by nature et cetera. Wax & Wane draws elements of it's own sound from the lo-fidelity folk movement of past American artists as well as from more staple performers of the mid-century folk revival that came out of Britain. With a beautiful array of instruments (guitar, piano, violin, bells) and a great blend of both male and female vocals, this album evokes a power and ambiance that is next to impossible to find in new music. Wax & Wane weave beautiful tunes similar to Cat Stevens, Microphones/Mt. Eerie, Sufjan Stevens, Little Wings, Low, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Nick Drake. Winter is a culmination of all of these influences into a solid album that takes the listener by the hand and leads them through. While there's no great climax each song stands tall as an individual experience while contributing the atmosphere of the album as a whole. This is an album not to be missed!! Perfect for midsummer nights!!$7.00 ppd $10.00 ppd $11.00 ppd - Wax Phantom "Don't Fool With a Phantom"

From Jagjaguwar
{ JAG93 } { cd }
Wilderness is an unconventional band from Baltimore, whose apparent musical pedigree stems from the likes of The Fall, This Heat, Savage Republic, Public Image Limited, and Joy Division - without sounding like any of them - and whose music is every bit as spiritual as it is visceral, as nuanced as it is overt, and as communal and all-embracing as it is culturally alienating and nihilistic.

coverJust about three years in the making, two bassists and two drummers after the fact- the new Yes Sensei album is here. This the most ambitious and sonically diverse recording to date from these long time Long Island noisemakers.

Yes Sensei has created their most melodic yet chaotic work yet$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Yes Sensei "We Who Transplant Sustain"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL16 } { cd }
The second Yes Sensei release is more of everything. More focused, dynamic, noisy, experimental, grooving, just more of the elements of Yes Sensei expanded. "We Who Transplant Sustain" is raunch statement from the Long Island quartet who refuses to allow Punk culture to be pigeonholed. This sophomore effort does it's best to challenge any perception one may have. Influenced by The Minutemen, Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth and the free jazz stylings of Ornette Coleman, Yes Sensei somehow creates their own brand of music that redefines energy.1090 pressed with a clear tray.$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd - Yes Sensei "What I Do Worst is What I Do Best"
From Rok Lok Records/The Children's Revolt
{ RL15 } { cd }
Even though the process of putting together the first Yes Sensei record was a tedious one I was very glad that our record finally made it out. And while the band has evolved from the more primitive noisy Unwound and Jesus Lizard esque renderings found on this debut perfectly documents what the band was like in it's original three piece line up with Paul Como on bass. Eight tracks of noisy dynamic indie rock. A split release effort with The Children's Revolt. 1100 pressed with a clear tray. PURCHASE YES SENSEI ON ITUNES$6.00 ppd $9.00 ppd $10.00 ppd
