OUT NOW The Sheaves “Excess Death Cult Time” LP
The Sheaves are a five-piece from Phoenix, AZ who churn out a murky yet driving, melodic style of post-punk you don’t hear that often because, well, most bands can’t pull it off. Not exactly easy to write songs that make…
ZYKLON B ZOMBIES “Skull” LP out now
Well, it’s actually been out for about 2 weeks and I’m down to about 50 copies out of the 300 pressed.. But anyway: This was one of my dream releases back before the label actually came to life. Sadly, the…

A few posts back when I reminisced about my first encounter with Pussy Galore and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion I ended up with the longest post I’ve ever written. I probably spent more time editing and going back to…
“What I want is a good, strong monarchy with a tasteful and decent king.” – Ignatius J. Reilly… V/A – “East of Croydon” LP (Nothing Shaking Records, UK, 1981)
The thing about music (and most art for that matter) is that if you try to define something by coming up with a label for it, there’s a good chance you’ll end up spending more time thinking and talking about…
“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.” – Winston Churchill…Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “A Reverse Willie Horton” LP (Pubic Pop Can, US, 1991)
The first time I ever heard The Birthday Party was when a slightly older but very wiser friend played me “The Bad Seed” 12″ EP after I told him about my recent life changing experience seeing The Jesus Lizard live.…
