NEW SHIT! : Other
16.75 Baby Grande - LP
1975-77 (Hozac) You remember The Church from Australia, right? A band that you may think is lame cause at first listen, they could sound like some mellow pop deal. Far from it. They had a killer original sound and classic songs to go with it-especially in the early days. Baby Grande is pre-The Church and from that band included Steve Kilbey on vocals and Peter Koppes on guitar. Recorded 75-77 and never released before now. Rousing glam/pre-punk/rocknroll. 500 copies including a free download. Hop to it!
14.00 Berzerkers - LP
Can't Stand Still (Hostage) THE LONG AWAITED DEBUT LP BY OC'S
HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK AND ROLL LEGENDS HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!
10 TRACKS GUARANTEED TO BLOW YOUR MIND AND SPEAKERS.
3 GUITARS AND TRIPLE BACKING VOCALS, THIS STUFF SOUNDS LIKE
70'S ROCK GONE PUNK, OC'S ANSWER TO THE SAINTS? Shocking Yellow Vinyl.
7.50 Disco Lepers - LP
Sophisticated Shame (Dead Beat) By now you know what you’re with these guys-Raw Punk madness with the snottiest vocal ever. Stellar!
3.00 Fist City - LP
Hunting You (Dead Beat) Female fronted post-punk debut from California. Produced by Paul from the Myelin Sheaths.
7.50 JJ & The Real Jerks - LP
Back To The Botom (Dead Beat) Raw sleazy RocknRoll ala New York Dolls, Heartbreakers, Humpers... They've been around awhile, but this 2017 lp is their first full-length.
3.00 Manic Attracts - LP
Eyes Wide Shut (Dead Beat) A Vancouver band with members of Dead Ghost and others, crank out some melodic and catchy songs and bash the shit out of them!
14.00 Mesa Lanes - LP
High Crimes & Misdemeanors (Hostage) Garage pop RnR from Orange County. 100 copies on Purple Vinyl! Check out the lp here!
3.00 Ratbag - LP
Freeballin (No Front Teeth) England This record is several years old. I imagine some people will love while others completely hate it. Here's how the band describes themselves, I certainly couldn't have come up with anything better: RatBag are possibly the finest accordion driven ska folk punk band ever to have dressed as characters from Alice In Wonderland and cycled to Bognor. See them before they are pulped and made into cheap newspapers.
20.00 Ric Gordon - LP
Just Can't Get Enough (Next Wave) Newly rediscovered punky Powerpop classic! Original sealed copies in perfect condition. 6-song 12” from 1979 (though the sleeve says 1980) Kansas City , MO. Check out all 6 songs here.
7.50 Shark Toys - LP
S/T (Dead Beat) From L.A. and they seem to get a post-punk tag put on them, most likely because they are slightly reminiscent of early Gang Of Four. Whatever, it's great stuff.
7.50 Tomy & The Cougars - LP
Ambush (Dead Beat) Debut lp from these high-energy Punk/Powerpop kids from France.
8.50 Yard Work - LP
Earn The Rock (Rock Tumbler) From Austin, TX with members from The Motards, Ritchie Whites, Chumps... Yes, their songs are mostly about Lawnmowers, Wrenches, Garden Hoses, you know-Yard Work. Pounding bass fueled Garage. At times the raw stripped-down sound reminds me of MOTO. Very cool!
