Details

AND AT LONG LONG LAST, THE SUPERIOR VINYL VERSION OF THIS KILLER PUNK ALBUM SHOWS UP: ITS LIMITED AND NUMBERED TO 500 ONLY, ITS ON THE BANDS OWN LABEL, ITS WHITE VINYL, SIDES F AND U, AND HAS TWO EXTRA TRACKS...THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM ,LIKE REAL KIDS MEET SAINTS, THE VICTIMS, FUN THINGS, LEFTOVERS, (SOME PRIME AUS PUNK MEAT REFERENCED HERE) ITS TOO GOOD, AND WE CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH (SORRY IF I STOLE THAT PHRASING FROM SOMEWHERE, BUT IT WORKS!) CRANK IT UP!

FINALLY, AT LAST AND LONG AWAITED, THE DEBUT OF CALIFORNIA?S MOST EXCITING TINNITUS INDUCING COMBO. PROPELLED BY THE FIERCE BEAT OF PRO SKATEBOARDER KRISTIAN SVITAK, THE HEARTACHES DRY HUMP THEIR WAY THROUGH 15 TRACKS OF QUINTESSENTIAL PUNK BLISS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE INDEED CUES TAKEN FROM EVERYBODY?S FAVORITE BANDS (THE SAINTS, THE RAMONES,THE VICTIMS, THE PSYCHO SURGEONS, FUN THINGS, THE KINKS, REAL KIDS, ROLLING STONES, ELVIS) THE HEARTACHES CREATE A FAMILIAR YET LOST POP INNOCENCE THAT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN 2006. HEAR TIMELESS PUNK ROCK N ROLL ELUCIDATED BY CRO-MAGNON SENSIBILITIES! HEAR SEVERELY INHIBITED CHORD THUGGERY CONVEY PASSIONATELY TUNEFUL POP MASTERPIECES! HEAR THE AM SOUNDS OF THE 60?S STAND ALONGSIDE 70?S CLASSIC PUNK AND THE UNTAMED FRONTIER OF WILD 50?S ROCK N ROLL! THEIR AGITATED THRUSTING BLURS THE IDENTITIES OF THESE FORMIDABLE CONFECTIONS AND FORCES THEM INTO ONE CONGEALED, PACIFIED, PULP. IN SHORT, INDEED THIS IS ONE ROCKING RECORD!

A LONG OVERDUE LIMITED VINYL REISSUE OF COMETS ON FIRE'S SECOND ALBUM, ORIGINALLY CAME OUT IN 2003, THIS WHITE NOISE PSYCHEDELIC MAELSTROM CATCHES THE BAND AT THEIR FIRST PEAK, JUST PRIOR TO SIGNING TO SUB POP, THESE SONGS ARE STILL PLAYED LIVE BY THE BAND, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS PICKED UP AVATAR AND BLUE CATHEDRAL. AMERICA'S FINEST! THEY LAID WASTE TO ATP IN DECEMBER (AGAIN) AND THEY ARE PLAYING A ONE OFF UK SHOW IN MAY, THE DRUMMER DUDE (COLOSSAL YES MAIN MAN UTRILLO) ALSO LOVES TO GET NAKED WHEN PLAYING! WE ARE GETTING 150, AND THATS YR LOT SIR!

• SB1112 - CD

Details

A LONG OVERDUE REPRESS OF THE CD REISSUE OF THE, '92 DOUBLE ALBUM FROM THESE OFT BOWED-BEFORE AND CONSTANTLY IMITATED NEW ZEALAND GUITERRORIZERS ON CD. NO MATTER WHICH DERANGED PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE YOU FIT, THE PONTIFF, THE PAINTER AND THE CLUTZ WILL CONVINCE YOU TO "JUST PUT DOWN THE GUN, CHARLIE," LONG BEFORE THE SWAT TEAM ROUNDS THE FIRST CORNER. YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE TIME TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD, TO THINK ABOUT SOME THINGS THROUGH, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S IT, MAYBE CALL YOUR COUSIN WHO SAID YOU COULD WORK AS A BARBACK AT HIS JOINT ON OAHU UNTIL THIS MESS BLOWS OVER. A DRONE-ODELIC, NOISE-ILICIOUS, KOOK FRIENDLY ZARB. PRETTY MUCH A LANDMARK RELEASE IN THE DEAD C HISTORY!
