New Oblivians!

[kopper]

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that IN THE RED has gotta be the #1 "garage" label out there right now? 

I mean, they've been releasing some of the best, most provocative rock'n'roll of various garage/punk/noise stripes now for two decades, and then yesterday the news spread that the almighty OBLIVIANS will be recording their first studio LP in 15 years, to be released later this year on ITR... and then today I see that ITR's Larry Hardy is also helping Poison Ivy resurrect the Cramps' Vengeance Records!

Matthew's comment saved my GaragePunk Hideout day!

This is awesome news! The Oblivians are an awesome band and In the Red is an awesome label. I can't wait for this sucker to hit my turntable!

[Andrew Malcolm]

New Oblivians... I'm in!!! "Hot Pockets" gone off of GP.com... I'm in!!!

[BLACKCAT69]

Fantastic!

[El Negro Magnifico]

Best news I've heard in AGES.

Man, I wanted to befriend Hot Pockets, but he seems to be gone.  Seems his garage was not producing the right lead ladened carbon monoxide poisoning gas emissions that your garage does.  I think his opinions were valid.  Surely, garagepunk is and was always a fuck you genre of closed minded backwards looking idiots and being the coolest, ineptest, loudest, cheapskatiest, combo in your area is the pinnacle of uber-fuck-y'all-mainstream-sheep.  I kind of agree with the "what are these old dudes doing pretending to be all teenage angst" sentiment of Mr Pockets.

...and I never listened to the oblivians till today.  I too like my old 50's and 60's shit and past there few bands make the mark for me so I don't even try anymore.  At least Hot Pockets had seen and heard these guys play.

[BLACKCAT69]

Fuck Hot Pockets.

Very cool to have new music from The Oblivians coming out!

[Rufus F.]

I'm super excited about the Oblivians, but I think I'm even more excited about Vengeance records getting that Cramps stuff back in print.

I agree with you about the Oblivians ...  also wanted to mention that I stumbled across the archives to your Wayback Machine radio show ... already discovered some bands I was not aware of (like the Peelers) and since I'm from Boston, loved hearing DMZ and LaPeste

Why do only teenagers get to have 'angst?'  Try being nearly 48, portly(not fat!) have two kids, a mortgage, bills, a car and a Lambretta to run, a job and then trying to keep up to date with new records and trying to see bands as well! Stick a divorce in the middle of all that as well!! Teenage angst? can I fit in a third wank before falling out of bed and playing xbox all day! Teenage fuckin' angst!! As im over 30 im off to sell all my records and start listening to Phil Collins and Simply Red or whatever shit that masquerades as music that graces the CD players of the over 30s these days!

nobody ever told all the old blues players to give it up when they got old, and there aint any angstier music than the blues! Is angstier even a word, who cares, im old!

smiley face, as im too old to do one on the keyboard! laugh out loud!

[IDON MINE]
