***BACK IN STOCK!!! Even after his debut release, Too Much Love, captured the imagination of Memphis' music lovers, HARLAN T. BOBO still remains a mystery. Instead of shedding light on the man behind the music, his intensely personal lyrics have actually served to help perpetuate his enigmatic personna. However, with his sophomore album, I'm Your Man, one thing about Harlan is clear-his musical talent is the real thing. Eleven tracks of post-breakup emotion delivered in a range of musical styles. Received an awesome 8.1 rating from Pitchfork.

Details

***BACK IN STOCK!!! The much-anticipated third album from Atlanta pop-edged punkers THE CARBONAS. "A taut, brilliant blast of both pop and punk. Given the record's running time, there's 'nary a wasted moment, riff or breath, as the band crams in a host of late-'70s/early-'80s Antipodean and East Coast rock influences, and strains those sounds through the Carbonas' distinctively greasy Southern sonic filter."-Bob Mehr, Commercial Appeal

COCOCOMA - 'S/T'

Formats
  • 36GONECD - CD
    880270215621
Details

***BACK IN STOCK!!! COCOCOMA began in 2005 as a two-piece husband and wife hurricane, with LISA shredding her fingers on bass and BILL pounding the drums and howling. The addition of MIKE FITZPATRICK (HEADACHE CITY, THE LATEST) on organ added thickness and flavor to the Cococoma storm. The band's songs mix 1960s garage sensibilities with a brutal, near-hardcore punk rock attack, and hooks that will stay in your head for days. Completely untamed.

DIGITAL LEATHER - 'SORCERER'

Details

***In 2002 DIGITAL LEATHER were two young men playing keyboards: DL Mastermind SHAWN FOREE and RYAN WONG (Destruction Unit, Tokyo Electron, Reatards). Electronic karate chops and drill sergeant drum simulators created fuzzed out synth punk at warehouse punk shows to punk rock kids that hated keyboards and hated Digital Leather. They then had their faces melted. Several similar shows played a role, directly or indirectly, in shaping an underground music revolution. Flash forward several years-and Digital Leather has become a shape shifting force in the new "it" genre of synth punk. With a handful of sold out singles and LPs under his leather jock strap, Shawn Foree is now preparing his magic wand for the masses. He's traded his synthesizer for a guitar, and Ryan Wong for a full band. He's still recording songs himself in a bedroom in Arizona. He brings his band and the a disc of recordings to Memphis for Gonerfest 2, then drops a sonic A-bomb of a set at the Buccaneer Lounge in the middle of the afternoon. Luckily it is all captured on multi-track by a crack guerilla recording team. Home recordings from that time become Side A to Sorcerer; Side B is the live recording. Layered synthetic sounds come together with stark beats and dry vocals to create a lonely mechanical epic that reminds us of man's impending doom. Chillingly delicate and abrasively aggressive, Sorcerer masterfully negotiates the spaces between minimal electronic music and ferocious synth punk.

Details

PLAYING ATP / Groening one in MAY> THE FRESH & ONLYS began in the Spring of 2008 as a recording collaboration between TIM COHEN and SHAYDE SARTIN. After a month of marathon recording sessions on various broken tape machines the two enlisted WYMOND MILES, HEIDI ALEXANDER and GRACE COOPER to help complete the sound. Since then the band has recorded well over a hundred songs and played a hand full of shows on the west coast. "The group's self-titled debut full-length album strikes a balance between the psych-fried blur of the California sun and an amp-crackling, four-chorded garage basher."-Chris Sabbath-SF Chronicle. Released on JOHN DWYER's (OHSEES) Castle Face label.
