[Shiny Beast]

LP (Album)

ALLAH-LAS - THE ALLAH-LAS
The Allah-Las are a Los Angeles foursome with a truly great 60s-garage sound influenced by the likes of The Zombies, The Ventures, The Byrds and The Rolling Stones, and the teen acts featured on the Back From The Grave, Shutdown 66 and Hipsville comps, as well as 80s counterparts of the Paisley Underground.

 

BOONARAAAS!!! - MORE KNICK-A-KNACKS FOR YOUR BRIC-A-BRAC SHELF
The Boonaraaas!!! are wild and spirited all girl 60s Punkrock from Germany; these four energetic ladies deliver exciting 60s Garage music with wild guitars, fine melodies, great riot grrrl-vocals - and everything with a proper Punkrock attitude. The band exist for more than 15 years now, delivering untamed and powerful live-shows all over Europe. They previously released three LPs and various 7s on THUNDERBABY RECORDS and SOUNDS OF SUBTERRANIA and now their latest LP MORE KNICK-A-KNACKS FOR YOUR BRIC-A-BRAC SHELF is released on SOUNDFLAT RECORDS.

NELSON, RICKY - RICKY SINGS AGAIN
Backed by a stellar band that includes Elvis Presley guitarist James Burton and in-demand studio bassist James Kirkland, Nelson delivers what remains a 1950s classic that stands up to everything recorded by his famous contemporaries. Burton mimics the sound of a train on "One Of These Mornings," just one of the myriad tunes here on which the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member lays down fabulous lines and rockabilly licks that both shade and support the concise melodies. While largely recognized for the melancholy ballad "Lonesome Town," one of four Top 10 singles on the set, Ricky Sings Again is as much about early rock n' roll and extraordinary singing. About that voice.

 

OMENS - FUZZ FADES AND ESCAPADES
FUZZ FADES AND ESCAPADES is an album that will thrill you all! All eleven songs are the bands own compositions. Wild guitars, shaking beats, screaming vocals and here and there a few swirling organ elements. While songs like ,Settle Down" or ,Youre No Good" are savage, fast 60s Garagepunk-songs, ,On Your Mind" for instance is more of a Pop-Punkhymn and ,So Far Down" again has more psychedelic elements. The powerful energy the band always conveys on stage is excellently reflected on this noisy Garagepunk-record.

 

PHEROMOANS - DOES THIS GUY STACK UP?
This London based group's 2012 album reveals influences from garagrock, indie legends s.a. The Fall and Joy Division and there even are some (kinda) experimental leanings. Vinyl edition of 750 copies.

PRESLEY, ELVIS - 30 #1 HITS (2LP)
180 gram audiophile pressing, coming in a gatefold sleeve plus insert.

 

SHOOK-UPS! - BAD RECEPTION 
This album will captivate you immediately with its dirty fuzz grooves, pounding beats, a lot of farfisa organ and a psychedelic touch. Songs such as "Second to None" and "New Confession" sound as if they were missing songs on the Pebbles- or Back From The Grave Compilations; these guys from North West England definitely know how to write and make great music, that makes you dance and jump. Aside from their own compositions they included a superb cover-version of the Garagepunk-classic "No reason to complain" by THE ALARM CLOCKS. If you like fuzzy, organ driven 60s Garagepunk with psych-elements you will love THE SHOOK-UPS! with their fantastic debut album BAD RECEPTION!

SKEPTICS (BELGIUM) - SKEPTICS
Cryptic fuzz punk meets 60s influenced garage weirdos: no clichés, just super original super raw garage tunes. THE SKEPTICS are a unique one-man creation interpreted live by a French-Belgian three-piece combo. Already well-known in the international garage scene: two 7" on Frantic City Records (B), another one on Cheap Pea Records (USA), various European tours, reviews in Bananas Magazine (USA), City Trash (NL), Rock Hardi (F), Lost in Tyme (GR), etc. Sir Bart van Vraantijk played or is still acting in many other garage punk bands (in the tradition of The Sonics or The Monks, just to name few) such as The 60 Second Swingers (Fuzz Overdose + Howlin' Banana Records), The Mean Things (Soundflat) or Wild Zeros (Frantic City + Chick Pea Records). This album by THE SKEPTICS is a must-have for all garage freaks interested in NOW! music, and will do pretty well too on any turntable. 14 extremely exciting killers on vinyl, to be filed under Fuzz Punk!

 

SPENCEY DUDE & THE DOODLES - NIGHT PROBLEMS
Fans of extremely catchy garage pop-nuggets, beware! 'Night Problems', the long awaited full-length follow up to their 2009 released 'Flirting' 7-inch, finds San Francisco's SPENCEY DUDE & THE DOODLES still singing about girls, TV, and this crazy mixed-up world over the span of 16 perfectly imperfect pop song bursts, any one of which could've been a single's A-side. This album is everything you hoped it would be and, of course, a whole heck of a lot more. Recorded by GREG ASHLEY (Gris Gris) at the Creamery, Oakland.

 

TYVEK - ON TRIPLE BEAMS
LP with download. The third album from the forward-thinking Detroit ensemble. Picks up where the blistering proto-hardcore of Nothing Fits leaves off, but doesn't tarry long in familiar zones.
