Grand Rapids' finest Whirlwind Heat is notable as Italy Records' first foray into anything that could possibly be considered art-rock. Listening to their jams, you'd quickly get the feeling DEVO and Brainiac were spinning heavily on their turntables. On each track, the rhythm section is quick and jagged and vocals are hardly even human, interspersed with synth bursts. This single, Italy's 12th release, was also recorded with Jack White in 2001 and began a partnership that lasts to this day, with WWH drummer Brad Holland working as Third Man's in house video director and lead singer David Swanson accompanying Jack White on tour as his official photographer.

he Copenhagen based pop wonders Blaue Blume return with a new EP - 'Sobs'. The band formed around 6 years ago in a provincial Danish town, drawn to each other's love for rich, playful music. Blaue Blume (blue flower) is the epitome of a romantic band, their songs are brimming with love and yearning. Now 'Sobs', the follow up to their 'Syzygy' album in 2015, continues to build their reputation as a best kept secret, about to find a whole new audience of devotees. All four tracks for the EP were recorded in late 2016 in a three story villa, formerly owned by a religious cult. The band used the weird space away from the city to create a framework for the lyrics and the music. The band explains: 'Blaue Blume has been our band for about 6 years. In a bigger provincial town we started playing right out of highschool. At the moment we live in Copenhagen and every day we play, write and work on sounds. It's sort of become a life project. In our heads we make music that is playful, rich in detail and popish or somewhat smiling. For some beautifully inexplicable reason we ended up doing music together. In a way it seems sacred or at least meaningful. Macabre is a happy song about being afraid of dying. Some of us find that even the best life can be lonely sometimes. We found it interesting to address this taboo within the frame of a song that people could potentially dance or sing along to.

Continental' von Saint Etienne erschien 1997 nur in Japan, nach der erstmaligen Veröffentlichung im Rest der Welt 2009, nun auch als LP mit Postkarte und Download-Code erhältlich.

An album by The Velvet Underground needs to be in the collection of every legitimate music lover. Those who do not yet have an album from this legendary group, can now fill this gap by purchasing the new Collected.

The band, with artistic exponents of text and music writers Lou Reed and John Cale, influenced generations of rock musicians and groups. Certainly in the 70s and early 80s the cult status of this group, briefly managed by Andy Warhol, reached extraordinary proportions. The Velvet Underground was already a real punk band ten years before the rise of this music genre. This was reflected in their lifestyle, drug use and attitude'. Musically, however, you can hardly compare them with punk music. With songs like Heroin', I'm Waiting For The Man' and White Light / White Heat', they released a new definition of rock and roll.

The Collected compilation consists of 2LP's with a total of 23 songs. One of the above-mentioned classics is I'm Waiting For The Man', in which the protagonist's addiction forces him to wait for his dealer with his twenty-six dollars in hand, a number that expresses an addict in an unprecedented direct and realistic way. The chaotic and sometimes atonal music confirm the grim narrative. In addition, we will find What Goes On', Pale Blue Eyes', Venus In Furs' and many more songs from the pivotal band.

The limited edition of this unique compilation on 'pink' coloured vinyl is now available.

Recorded the day before the release of their 1993 breakout album, Siamese Dream, this magnificent radio broadcast is an acoustic record release party set from the legendary Tower Records in the group's hometown of Chicago. Amid drug addiction, internal band strife, Corgan's nearly crippling depression, claims of selling out, and massive pressure from the record label to become stars, it's hard to imagine the band could even perform together much less sound this good. A killer live acoustic set that draws mostly from Siamese Dream, but also includes two of the better tracks from their debut Gish, this radio broadcast is a must have for any Pumpkins fan.

'Eight' is not a bunch of singles thrown together. It is a collection of songs that interlock conceptually (not as a narrative story, but more in a general theme throughout the lyrics).

The concept of 'Eight' actually came to us more by coincidence than an idea at the start,as when we discussed our release strategy for 2017 we decided to run with the idea of eight songs released digitally in pairs and compiled into a vinyl at the end. After discussing this strategy, we went away with this number branded in our minds. 8. The symbol '8', the figure of 8, it just screams out to you.

As we looked more into the number 8, the correlation between the lyrics and the themes signified by the number really started to jump out at us and it all started coming together. 8 is the number of infinity, despite all that is thrown at it there is much that is intrinsically beautiful in the world. It's signifies positivity in the universe, joy, strength, balance and power in unity, which are touched upon within the lyrics of 'Eight'. At this point we decided to run with this as our concept and that remaining 3 undecided tracks would all fit into this overall concept.

In 'Eight' we are offering a way to lose yourself from it all and find an escape for a moment from all the horror and pain that is happening all around us. To embrace the ability music has to take you away from the harsh realities of daily life.

With this in mind we made a conscious decision to include elements that would tie in the tracks sonically. For example, we have used synth and guitar sounds that appear throughout 'Eight' to gel the tracks together, solidifying that these are not just a compilation of songs we have.

The artwork is also crucially interlinked with the whole 'Eight' project. Each song is represented on the individual release in their AAs where the artwork is a standalone piece. When all the songs are compiled into the EP the artwork for all 4 AAs comes together as one overall piece and each is represented as an eighth, there are also many references to Eight within each piece.

Sublime compilation of long-lost Australian indie-pop, acoustic jangle and beat happenings gathered by Melbourne-based collector and DJ Bayu and label head Moopie. Twelve tracks of singular vision spanning up- and downbeat pop, post-punk and minimal synth rarities recorded between 1982 and now. Australian twee pop royalty the Cat's Miaow shares the stage with the Cannanes and the Particles; Ya Ya Choral with Sarah Records' own Even As We Speak. Included is the previously unreleased 'Dot', by Mutant Sounds cult band Maestros and Dipsos. Full colour reverse-card sleeve with printed insert and lyrics sheet.

Jim James ist Sänger von My Morning Jacket und veröffentlicht Anfang Dezember sein Album voll von Coverversionen namens - Tribute to 2 auf ATO. Der erste Part - Tribute to hingegen hat ein anderes Konzept, da nur Coverversionen von George Harrison und den Beatles enthalten sind. Tage nach George Harrisons Tod - im Jahr 2009 - nahm Jim James diese sechs Stücke zu Hause auf einem Achtspur-Recorder auf. Für ihn ist es ein persönlicher Tribut an einen großen Helden, um den er trauerte.

Goodbye Lullaby is the fourth studio album by Avril Lavigne, released in 2011. Recording sessions for the album began in November 2008, and took place over a period of almost two years, concluding in October 2010. Goodbye Lullaby is a more introspective effort and consists of mainly stripped down instruments such as the piano and acoustic guitar. Avril co-wrote every original track on the album, and took on production duties for the first time

The album debuted inside the top five in over 15 countries such as the United States and Canada, topping the charts in over eight countries, such as Australia, Greece, Hong Kong and Japan.

Three singles were released from the album. The album's lead single, What the Hell' achieved worldwide chart success, reaching the top twenty in the UK, the top ten in Europe and Australia and the top five in Asia. The following singles, Smile' and Wish You Were Here' also received chart success worldwide. The album also includes an extended version of the soundtrack single for the 2010 film Alice in Wonderland, titled Alice'.

Goodbye Lullaby is now available on vinyl for the first time. This first, limited edition run is pressed on 180 gram transparent green vinyl. Only 2.500 copies are available.

Paul Weller releases a limited 12' vinyl of One Tear' remixes in November...

Sharing a seaside home and studio with fellow Brightonians The Magic Gang, the Abattoir Blues of today - vocalist Harry Waugh, guitarists George Boorman and Sam Pitman, and drummer Scott Kennedy - are a far cry from the beer-swigging, stage-smashing brutes of old. Taking equal influence from the grizzly post-punk of The Fall and the dark atmospherics of the Nick Cave album from which they take their name, their swarm of sound engulfs the senses, while drawing on a social conscience reminiscent of punk's early greats: recent singles 'Sense' and 'Fading' reflected on mental illness and the refugee crisis respectively.

You should talk about those things if that's what matters to you,' Harry states. I feel like, more than ever, there's a big apathy problem. People are so alienated by the way politics is and the way the world's run that they switch off and disassociate from things.'

It's important to encourage people to engage,' agrees George, we want to stimulate discussion.'

It's a captivating, call-to-arms take on modern punk that's drawn more than a few eager ears - that monstrous noise' was heralded by The Guardian at the start of 2016, while NME praised their abrasive post-punk that's big on atmosphere and meaning'. DIY joined them in dubbing Abattoir Blues one of 2017's most essential new acts - further nods from Noisey and Radio 1's Huw Stephens followed.

New EP 'Blinded' is the sucker-punch moment that Abattoir Blues have been building towards. The anthemic likes of 'Change Your Mind' and the record's title-track put those years of tight-knit companionship to tape, while 'Trying Everything' bites harder than they've ever dared before. Closer 'What You Mean To Be', meanwhile, is as beautiful and melodic as British punk has ever been one second, and a thrashing monster the next. Abattoir Blues thrive on that light-and-shade duality.

'Utopia' is the ninth studio album from the iconic artist Björk, out November 24th via One Little Indian Records. The album's artwork was created in collaboration of M/M, Jesse Kanda and James Merry and reflects the records sonic direction, optimism, lightness, utopia.
Of the album she explained to Dazed this Summer that, Maybe that's why it became a utopian theme - if we're gonna survive not only my personal drama but also the sort of situation the world is in today, we've got to come up with a new plan, If we don't have the dream, we're just not gonna change. Especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency.'
Björk wrote, produced and recorded the album between Reykjavik and New York, working closely with Arca and writing for, conducting and recruiting a thirteen piece flute orchestra which will be on the road with her next year.

Blending wiry post-punk with unpredictable art-rock, Drahla have garnered early critical praise with their first singles, including 'Faux Text'/'Burden of Proof' which was released via Too Pure Singles Club earlier this year and sold out its limited run of 500 copies. Formed in late 2015, Drahla quickly found their identity in Leeds' fertile music scene with their minimal yet robust bass-heavy sound, while their reputation as a fervent live act saw them sharing stages with Parquet Courts, The Cribs, Buzzcocks, Dream Wife, Menace Beach and more.

Produced by Hookworms' MJ, Third Article documents Drahla's progression from promising DIY outfit to a formidable and distinctive band who've built on the early support from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, DIY magazine and Loud & Quiet. Third Article makes its intention clear with EP opener 'Form of Luxury', an ice-cool yet spiky slab of noise-rock. 'Silk Spirit' and 'Circuit' typify Drahla's sonic trademarks, where sharp, off-kilter guitar riffs juxtapose with singer/bassist Luciel Brown's composed, self-assured vocal. Guitarist Rob Riggs takes lead vocal on the caustic EP closer 'New Living Creation', which also adds saxophone for an erratic yet purposeful statement of intent.

Begun on a whim in 2010 by Enablers vocalist Pete Simonelli (words, vocals) and Lynn Wright of And the Wiremen (guitar), Molecular has seen a broad cast of musicians come and go in its highly rotational flux of instrumentation and musicianship in performances around New York City, England and Spain. It is a "feel" oriented collection of players whose ideas evoke a steady yet shape-shifting spirit of improvisation.

Warmest Regards is the culmination of a short week-long tour throughout England. This live recording is taken from a very lively, intimate set on a wintry Sunday night at New River Studios in London. The line-up includes Simon Goff (And the Wiremen) on violin, Algis Kizys (ex-Swans, Of Cabbages and Kings) on bass, and Sam Ospovat (Enablers, Ava Mendoza) on drums. It documents the progressive cohesion of the band after six straight nights of entirely improvised music. Over the course of these six shows, the poems, rants, and music were never delivered the same way twice. On that basis alone, we just took the thing and let it kick us each and every way possible until the egg timer chimed and the set would then conclude. There were no foundations, no arrangements, and there was never any solid plan. The only rule we followed, as is ever the case with improvisation, was listening to each other.

The legendary sophomore album of the Steve Wynn's band released in 1984, one of the pillars of the PAISLEY UNDERGROUND sound. After all the buzz that followed the release of the first album The Days of Wine and Roses, and all the comparisons to the Velvet Underground, the band was then sent into the studio for five months with Sandy Pearlman, best known for producing and managing Blue Öyster Cult as well as orchestrating the Clash's second album, Give 'Em Enough Rope. Partly due to the influence of touring outside of the confines of the L.A. music scene, partly due to a hard-rock producer helming the boards and partly due to Wynn's insistence at trying something new, the Dream Syndicate wound up turning in an album that was so different from its debut, it might have been the oil to the preceding record's water. It showed an affinity for Neil Young and Crazy Horse, flirting with an American Gothic style of songwriting as well, with a particular influence of Southern writers such as William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor in the lyrics. A true gem from 1980's California.

Since forming in 2015 as a college art school project, Dream Wife - a name chosen as commentary on society's objectification of women - have become one of the foremost up-and-coming bands out of the U.K. They have garnered praise for their early releases and their ferocious live shows, which saw them sell out venues across U.K. and Europe, tour the U.S. with the Kills, and play festival stages all over the world. Now the band are gearing up to release Dream Wife on January 26th, 2018 via Lucky Number.

How a boy from the Sri Lankan jungle formed the greatest post-punk band you've never heard. Re-issue of Glorious Din's second full-length album from 1987.

Fronted by an intense singer with an oblique songbook and a mysterious past Glorious Din were unlike any other group to emerge from San Francisco's '80s underground. With singer Eric Cope, the chosen persona of a Joy Division-obsessed Sri Lankan boy who travelled halfway around the world to follow his punk dream.

The multifaceted nature of the '80s scene - encompassing everything from three-chord thrash punk to garage-band pop, experimental art rock and atonal noise, all created by bands with overlapping memberships - can seem baffling to outsiders. Of the many acts clamouring for attention, Glorious Din was perhaps the best, their mesmerising sound instantly getting under the skin via their non-standard drum patterns, eastern-sounding guitar melodies, a melodic bass in pole position, and a dissociative foreign singer who intoned prophetic poems in a trance. The enigmatic group acted as a catalyst too, helping total unknowns to gain recognition and being the uncommon glue linking Faith No More, the Dead Kennedys and Michael Franti, as well as R.E.M and the Cocteau Twins, such is the reach of their influence.

The music of the '80s counterculture thrived in peripheral spaces, and part of Glorious Din's appeal was their mysteriousness: a quartet of mismatched musicians not necessarily playing their chosen instruments, with the obscure lyrics of their intense frontman near impossible to decipher. The group imploded after only three years, but their cult appeal has lasted far longer through their two albums and related material on their Insight label.

Glorious Din's second album, Closely Watched Trains, had a very different sound from its predecessor. Eric was listening to a lot of Nick Drake, so they mixed the vocals and guitar much louder than the other instruments. Nevertheless, the album showed a growth and maturity on the band's part. Paget plays a metal dobro on some numbers, which adds a sheen of folk to the post-punk proceedings, as heard on the opener 'Stilt Walkers'. '1651 Map' has Cope seemingly recounting a colonial uprising or an industrial dispute over a sparse rhythm led by Paget's minimal guitar, and early number 'Voices Everywhere' is here reprised as a joyous blast, the lyrics speaking of a pending arrival.

Paget is well-represented with 'Red Dirt', which has fantastic modulated bass from Heeschen, 'Circle Star', another freedom track inspired by his wanderings, and the melodious 'Blood', which closes out the set. Cope's songs have repeated references to trains, hence the album's title. But by the time the album surfaced, the band had already broken up. Now exactly 30 years later Closely Watched Trains is still a more than rewarding listen and a vivid document of the times.

2023 Repress

This the first time this title has been available on vinyl . At the risk of further labouring a rather obvious point, with Thank God for Mental Illness, their third collection of absolutely stunning music in 1996, the Brian Jonestown Massacre parallels the prolific and effortless brilliance of the Rolling Stones at their fevered late-1960s peak, the sheer scope of their achievements is stunning — rarely are bands quite so productive, or quite so consistently amazing. Thank God is the BJM's down-and-dirty country-blues outing, all 12-odd tracks supposedly recorded on a single July day at a cost of just $17.36 .The Brian Jonestown Massacre is a psychedelic rock band originally from San Francisco, California, led by guitarist/singer Anton Newcombe. Since 1995 The Brian Jonestown Massacre has released numerous albums, first for Bomp! Records, the label which gave them their start, and later for TVT and Tee Pee. BJM has been essential in the development of the modern U.S. garage scene, and many LA and SF musicians got their start playing with Newcombe, including Peter Hayes of The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.Originally Newcombe was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones' psychedelic phase - the name comes from Stones guitarist Brian Jones combined with a reference to cult leader Jim Jones, but his work in the 2000s has expanded into aesthetic dimensions approximating the UK Shoegazing genre of the 1990s and incorporating influences from world music, especially Middle Eastern and Brazilian music.

Hope are in the Black Phase. Everything around them is obscured. Every lyric and every spark of music, every photograph and every recording is drenched in black.
It's not the black of Wave or Gothic bands, but the unpretentious black of Portishead or Talk Talk. A black arising from a wound and at the same time covering the wound, burying it. A scab.
A black letting you forget the Jazz, the academics, and the provinces that Hope has come from. In Germany, Jazz, academics and the provinces are very close, and Hope had to live through most painful experiences, play many unnoticed concerts, and remain unloved to find the love for themselves and their music.
Only this explains the dark stringency and consequence of their self-titled debut album (produced by Olaf Opal), featuring monolithic songs like CELL, KINGDOM and RAW. Songs, sounding rather like dystopic infinity than a light-hearted debut album. Songs, compressed to one word, as if the listener should not waste any time with reading, but start listening. Listen and dive into the endless Hope wave of sound, vehemence and black.
And yes, during all of this, the iconic singer Christine Börsch-Supan is naked. We can only guess her contours - it is too dark.

Ein Schauer aus Fuzz und Punkrock, aus verträumtem Grunge und Seele entblössenden Texten, das ist das zweite Album der kalifornischen Punkrocker Monster Treasure. Stell dir vor, Blondie spielen unbekannte Nirvana-Cover im CBGB's der frühen 1980er, als es Grunge noch nicht gab, und du kommst annähernd dorthin, wo Monster Treasure stehen. Mit regenbogenfarbenen Spritzern coloriertes Vinyl.

100 broken Windows is raw, rough edged punk yet traditional in lyrics with tight raging tracks. These 4 Scots neglected everything that was happening in the music business at the time and went down their own path, producing intense rock songs about growing up in the working class inspired by the greats from late 80s and early 90s such as Nirvana and REM, Sonic Youth and The Pixies.

This album definitely deserves a prominent place in any discerning music-lover's collection.

Hope is important is Idlewood's debut album recorded in 1998, the first full length release filled with distortion, Roddy Woomble's screeching vocals and utter chaos. This transitional album marks the beginnings of boys becoming men. A raw emo-punk album full of energy, laying out the path this band is going to go on in the future.

A 30-song career spanning compilation from this long-running female fronted Bay Area punk band. BAD DADDIES (aka B.D.), run the gamut from hard-core noise-bursts, to '90s-style rock through to straight up pop-punk sensibilies. This compilation takes in a smattering of tracks from their 2011 self-released uber-rare debut singles, (editions of just 83 copies and 137 copies), to 2016's self release demo cassette (edition of 70 copies). Initial copies of this LP include an extensive zine, with band interviews, original artwork and track by track commentary. RIYL the Bags, the Urinals, Sonic Youth, Bikini Kill, Melt Banana.

Night Shop is the new solo project from Justin Sullivan, drummer for Kevin Morby, The Babies and Flat Worms. His debut 12-inch was recorded at comp-ny Studios in Los Angeles, engineered by Drew Fisher (Kevin Morby, The Babies, Girl Pool) and is chock full of world-weary, melancholy songs with trace elements of optimism. He is joined by Will Ivy on electric guitar and Tim Hellman (Thee Oh Sees) on bass

A shotgun marriage of '80s jangle pop and nervy, tongue-in-cheek lyrics are the wedded bliss of SOB STORIES' eponymous debut EP. Lead singer and songwriter JOEL CUSUMANO never met a hooky chord progression, or a dark turn of phrase, he didn't like. Prior to forming Sob Stories, Cusumano played with Oakland power-poppers TALKIES—after recording with Terry Six (Exploding Hearts) and releasing a full-length cassette on Burger Records, he parted ways with the group to form Sob Stories. Other Bay Area pop pros (members of RAZZ, COCKTAILS) fill out the Sobs' lineup. The band's debut is a whirlwind of guitar pop tunes that all clock in under 2:30, and cover the rock geek milieu—heartbreak, regret, and baked Alaska.

tenebrous LIAR developed as the result of a musical urge felt by photographer Steve Gullick in 2005, much frantic sound bending & home recording resulted in an album released by Fire records the following year. It quickly became apparent that Gullick needed a band in order to perform live, he enlisted the help of an eclectic & ever evolving line-up of friends who made a further five albums in as many years and played shows with a very diverse selection of artists including Scout Niblett, Josh T. Pearson, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Foo Fighters, Duke Garwood, Oxbow, Soulsavers, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Ed Harcourt & Cindytalk.
In 2016 tenebrous LIAR (Brendan Casey on bass, Ben Edgar on drums & Steve Gullick on guitar & vocals) set about writing & recording their new album in Coventry rehearsal rooms & in Gullick's home, the idea was to record improvisations to create a freer sounding record, the band channeled psychedelic era Miles Davis, early PIL & their love for Neil Young's 'Dead Man' to create 'The Cut'.

Emotional Response are proud to announce a compilation of home grown talent, featuring two songs each from eight current Arizona pop acts. ELECTRISAD, LIL BOBBY JR, GENE TRIPP, AMATUER HOUR, THE ENGLISH TEETH (BOYRACER), NANAMI OZONE, CEREAL MILK, and DINERS. Limited edition of 300 copies with insert and download.

EVANESCENCE return this fall with SYNTHESIS, their fourth studio album, slated for a Fall 2017 release. The group today, August 14, announced the Synthesis Live' tour will launch this fall beginning October 14 on the west coast (confirmed dates below). Like the album, Synthesis Live' will feature a reimagining of some of EVANESCENCE's best-loved songs with the spotlight on full orchestra, electronics combined with the band and Amy Lee's virtuoso piano and voice.

This is a total passion project for me. There are so many layers in our music, underneath the huge drums and guitars,' explains AMY LEE of EVANESCENCE. I've always wanted to shine a light on some of the gorgeous David Campbell arrangements and programming elements in our songs, and that idea snowballed into completely re-doing them with full orchestra, not just strings, elaborate programming and experimentation. This will be our first time touring with orchestra and I'm so excited to perform this way-really focus on the vocals, and the emotion and the story we've built over the years. I'm also really excited about the new material on the album. Besides the two new songs, there are some really beautiful instrumental in-between moments. The whole thing flows like a big, dynamic soundtrack.'

The two-time, GRAMMY® Award-winning group is currently in the studio finishing the new album through August with producers Will Hunt and orchestra arranger and composer David Campbell. In addition to the re-imagined catalog songs, the forthcoming SYNTHESIS album will feature two new EVANESCENCE songs.

2017 promises to be the biggest year for EVANESCENCE yet, as their intense live performances and timeless songwriting combined with a powerful live orchestra and electronics will truly deliver a transcendent experience.
