[Reissue of their killer 2007 cd-r!A little more insight to the accidental birth of their art-damage.Nine tracks of primitive post-punk clutter.Informed and inventive straight to the teeth.Recorded through a single mic and tape recorder.These boys are proving to be quite the prolific bunch, with current releses on Night People,Sweet Rot,Savory Days,Convulsive,and our own imprint.New LP on Convulsive and an 7" from us this winter! Available from Rough Trade.
[Members of Christmas Island give us 10 spontaneous, organic guitar explorations and dissonant post-punk swagger.Hypnotic riffing and primitive drum pounding combine to form black clouds of dark energies.A constant swirl of goth/psych-bliss provides the perfect backdrop for Craig Oliver's deep baritone versing and haunting croon.Like Ian Curtis' lingering ghost backed by a more psych-heavy DIJ.As deep and affected as their Time Is Racing 7" on Sacred Bones.A stunning debut.

First edition of 65
on clear shell tapes with gold foil, full color j-cards/inserts.
Two different covers.
Philly's HOT GUTS gave us a blazer of a debut 7",and and awesome split with Pop.1280.They now give us a 25 minute cassette with two new studio songs,and 4 song captured at recent live shows.Heavy outsider goth soaked art-punk, with more than enough SWANS love to get into.Pummeling drum assault topples over some rather dynamic riffs and murky chops.Downer vocal chants and lucid drones come and go,yet it all remains tuneful and catchy.Co-release with Kill Shaman.
CS SOLD OUT!
[APR-04]
TURRKS "Bisbee +"
CS/c23
First edition of 60
on translucent blue tapes with full color j-cards/inserts.Two different covers.
Oakland's TURRKS(fka:Bipolar Bear) have been at it for some time,and with their recent change in moniker comes an exciting change in their sound.Huge walls of treated guitars burst through rumbling bass clouds,and dance atop offset drum patterns.Their lush,reverberated vocal jabs sneak isome insanely lush melodies in and tuck them deep within their post-punk/what-wave weirdness.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is great.Guitar,bass,harmonica,glockenspiel,and insanely lush and infectious vocals.This sounds alot like Young Marble Giants at times, but not quite as minimal.You will surely be flipping this non-stop.Hoping for a full length sooner than later!
VIRGINS (FL) - "Miscarriage" CD (Kiss of Death) $8.00
This radical Florida pop/punk rock act hails from Orlando,FL.They share members of No Friends and New Mexican Disaster Squad.Awesome, raw, and super tight punk rock n' roll.More than enough catchy chorus lines and super shredding.Good stuff.Killer new record "manimals" is out now on KOD.
SWANN DANGER - 7" (MMU) $5.00 SOLD OUT
Brand new 7" single from Oakland's favorite (and ours) dark sons and daughter,conjure up 3 new hexes for us to swoon over.This band just keeps getting better.Comes on clear or glow in the dark vinyl.
SWANN DANGER - "12 inch" (CSN) $11.00

MONIKERS - Wake Up" CD (Kiss of Death) $8.00
2008 full length from Monikers.Gruff and loose pop/punk with some serious garage worship going on.Taut and tidy quickly goes gets down and dirty.Super catchy hooks and clever lyrics by the bucket.

Bastard child of Suicide,Chrome,Jandek,and other loner folkies.Downer electro+drone+folk hymns=fabulous album.Recommended!New "American Haircut" lp on Floridas Dying rules too.
PLEASE -"s/t" 10" (Ouse) $10.00
Our bros from across the pond.Killer prog-soaked garage/pop/weirdness.This shit never lets up.Dynamic,fun,and inventive.Think David Yow backed by Cheer Accident,covering C Average tunes,and you've almost got it.Nice full color sleeves.
HOT GUTS/POP.1280 - Split 7" (Badmaster) $6.25
Philly's pummeling art-poppers lash out two solid tunes of Swans and AmRep worship.Dynamic,dark,and heavy as bricks.Our favorite new band by far.
Side b gets roughed up by NY's POP.1280.This band is great.Ugly post-hardcore downer rock,bad vibes and catchy synth runs for good measure."neon lights" dribbles spiteful voices spinning tales of a drunken,late night scuzz-romp, involving hookers and hand jobs.This is a fantastic record,front to back.one left!
HOT GUTS "Ballad of Jon Simon" 7" (Badmaster) $6.25
Badass debut ep from Philly's Hot Guts.Heavy,dark art-pop vibes,pounding drum assault,and hypnotic riffing/treated guitar drones creep below some less than comforting deep chants and paranoid versing complete this mysterious package.Mandatory.
BLESSURE GRAVE - "Judged by 12,carried by 6" LP (RTB) $13.00
San Diego downer duo's first proper full length.After a handful of tapes,singles,and ep's on Mishka,Night People,etc. they give us a fresh batch of Joy Division/Christian Death/DIJ/Killing Joke worship,but mine a unique sound all their own.Dark and affected folk/pop/goth/wave done just right.Awesome record!
SKEPPET/STREET DRINKERS - split LP (RTB) $13.00
Amazing new split 12" from two of Sweden's freshest faces in the psych/drone realm.Skeppet give us two lush jams that pay homage to classic psych-krauts like Cluster,Harmonia,UFO,and Eno.Dense, slow motorik drum machines,layers of swelling synths and minimal guitar washes create some rather hazy daydream tunes indeed.Krautrock is alive and well.The flip however takes things in another direction, with a murky synth dirge that creeps in the shadows,lurking bass and guitar treatments crawl up your back, as a damp and horrific voice slithers into your ear.Things get pretty intense as this progresses.Fans of Throbbing Gristle,Merzbow,and SPK take note.A great split.
YIKES! - "woah comas/blood bomb" CD (Kill Shaman) $8.00
Short lived SF "super group".Loud and fuzzed out rock and roll with wild,paranoid vocals and reverb-soaked guitar shred and driving rhythms.Includes members of Thee Oh Sees,and sound alot like their earlier stuff,but looser and more fucked up.Nice!
FACTUMS - "Spells and Charms" CD (Kill Shaman) $8.00
Seattle's Factums are a well kept secret.With a handful of releases on the Sacred Bones label,they are quickly becoming a household name.Radical no-wave weirdness,lo-fi bedroom recording vibes,and a slew of post-punk influence makes this group a tough one to pin indeed.Minimal guitar fuckery,brash,monotone snarls,loose and rumbling basslines and a mishmash of percussive trickery.PIL,TG,Ausgang,White Mice,Theoretical Girls,and DNA are all present,but that still doesn't cover it.Recorded live to tape.Worth every penny.
YAKKS -"s/t" CDR (Self Relased) $4.00
Bangin' Australian synth-punk duo.Minimal analog assault, grainy machine drums, commanding vocal threat,and a slew of blips,bleeps, and squeals top top it off.Fans of The Screamers,Black Bug,Nervous Gender, and The Spits are going to dig this.Expect a new cassette from us this winter!

FRESH MEAT "The Hair LP"
CS/c50
Edition of 60 solid white tapes/full color labels & j-cards.25 on Bauhaus mock covers.
Allentown's Fresh Meat made quite a racket in their short existence as a band.With their much adored Leather Daddy 7" still popping up on random blogs and review sites over a year after it's release.They've left us a KILLER album to send them off properly.9 ugly,pissed n' heavy downer punk jams in the vein of Pissed Jeans,early Black Flag,and a drip of Flipper's weirdo vibes .If you have a constant black cloud lingering overhead,this was made for you.Dynamite.

The AGENT SIDE GRINDER cd-r's will be ready to order in about a week and 1/2..
This is cd-r single, with two killer songs from their "Irish Tape" LP.Recorded straight to tape, using just one single mic, the way this stuff is supposed to be.Dazzling.
Cold, dark, and dubbed out post-punk/industrial worship ala-
Bauhaus, A Certain Ratio, SPK, etc..It's pretty limited, so don't miss out!Comes with a hand-screened poster insert.Yup.
Next up is a new cs from Australia's YAKKS, and a 7" from SWANN DANGER.

12/1--
Cold weather is FINALLY here!Florida cold anyway...
Here's the rundown for the Fall/Winter 2010.
SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY LP'S are dwindling.Still a grip of colored vinyl left, but I wouldn't wait too long.It's a great record, and if you dig on Joy Division/Warsaw, DIJ,
and other dark post-punk and psych, it might be what you are looking for.Available from Rough Trade, Kill Shaman, RTB, Mannequin, and Escalator Japan.
FRESH MEAT tapes are almost gone..Maybe 10 left in my living room.Caesar Cuts and Escalator have some for sale, too.
TURRKS "Bisbee +" is out now on cassette.It's their new full length, as well as the new 7", on one cassette.Awesome dudes/killer band.Formerly known as
Bipolar Bear.Julian runs Kill Shaman, and is a really solid dude.Check them out.
HOT GUTS "Secret Runners" cassette is out now as well, and we just love these lurks.If you heard their split with Pop.1280, or their debut 7" on Badmaster, you are in for a
nice surprise.MUCH darker than those records, and a heavy leaning on the industrial/goth tip.Don't miss ouy on this one.Co-released with the KILL SHAMAN
label.
NEXT UP, is a live cd-r from Swedish coldwave/post-punk act AGENT SIDE GRINDER.Two killer tracks captured live, using a single microphone and a tape machine.The way this stuff ought
to be made.Cold, blank, and packed full of dark energies.Comes with a hand-screened poster insert designed by us.Extremely limited!More on that soon.
In Jan, we will have a new 7" entitled "Burn", from Oakland's SWANN DANGER!These people are just amazing.Check them out if you like to get your Banshees, Swans, Bauhaus, and Ausgang on.Among other black forces.Simply amazing band.
More to come.Stay warm tonight, dummy.

FRESH MEAT tapes are almost gone..Maybe 10 left in my living room.Caesar Cuts and Escalator have some for sale, too.
TURRKS "Bisbee +" is out now on cassette.It's their new full length, as well as the new 7", on one cassette.Awesome dudes/killer band.Formerly known as
Bipolar Bear.Julian runs Kill Shaman, and is a really solid dude.Check them out.
HOT GUTS "Secret Runners" cassette is out now as well, and we just love these lurks.If you heard their split with Pop.1280, or their debut 7" on Badmaster, you are in for a
nice surprise.MUCH darker than those records, and a heavy leaning on the industrial/goth tip.Don't miss ouy on this one.Co-released with the KILL SHAMAN
label.
NEXT UP, is a live cd-r from Swedish coldwave/post-punk act AGENT SIDE GRINDER.Two killer tracks captured live, using a single microphone and a tape machine.The way this stuff ought
to be made.Cold, blank, and packed full of dark energies.Comes with a hand-screened poster insert designed by us.Extremely limited!More on that soon.
In Jan, we will have a new 7" entitled "Burn", from Oakland's SWANN DANGER!These people are just amazing.Check them out if you like to get your Banshees, Swans, Bauhaus, and Ausgang on.Among other black forces.Simply amazing band.
More to come.Stay warm tonight, dummy.

The new HOT GUTS cassette will be out later next month.We are super excited about this one, and we're pretty sure their new stuff will melt your brains, as it has ours.It contains two new live tracks that both rip as well.More info on that soon!
