NEW IN STOCK/EXPECTED 2012.36

[Shiny Beast]

NEW IN STOCK

FROWNING CLOUDS - PROPELLERS
Tracklist: A side, Propellers, sounds like a love march performed by an army of surfing bards; B side, Bad Vibes, is a shinning lost hymn from some 60s that never was. Once again, they do no covers; both are amazing self-compositions, aquatic and sunny songs with tons of reverb, a wall of young voices and delicate, beautiful fuzzy guitar solos.

 

KEEFMEN - THINGS I REMEMBER/GOT A MILLION DOLLARS
Limited edition 7" vinyl release. Special tribute to the late great Harry 'Cuby' Muskee, leader and founding member of the legendary Dutch 60's beat/r&b band 'CUBY & THE BLIZZARDS. Fellow regional band DE KEEFMEN pay a special tribute to CUBY & BLIZZARDS by presenting flashing versions of two classic Cuby songs 'Things I Remember' and 'Got A Million Dollars'.

 

EXPECTED (7"s)

 

BLACK JET RADIO - BLACK JET RADIO
Former Sacred Broncos-guitarist Brian Jenkins and his wife Danisha form the core of Black Jet Radio, a new Fort Wayne, IN based band. Their catchy fuzz hooks a-go-go, sultry female vocals and hot bass-n-drums interplay sound like Blondie's nightliner crashing into the New York Dolls' tour van on the corner of 51st and Main.

 

CAMP X-RAY - CAMP X-RAY
On 7-inch, this is the debut release from a promising Austin, TX band, taking cues from the Murder City Devils, Sonic Youth, and The Wipers. Edition of 500.

 

DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS - BETTER LISTEN UP GOOD 
What do the new songs sound like? Consider it rock and roll with a bit of shabang! Moronic lyrics feature in the two songs Andy sings. The two songs that Sam sings have slightly more intelligent lyrics, but not by much. Lyrical subject matters include being taught by your father how to seduce women in the same way that he seduced your mother, taking a trip to Italy and being fortunate enough to find yourself at a Bunga Bunga party at Berlusconi's house, following Jesus' wishes to do unto others' bodies as you would have them do unto your own body, having inappropriate relations with your best friend's sister and hoping that he'll still let you stay at his holiday house. Must be good!

 

DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS - REAL HARD TIME 
Europe tour part 2. The year 2012 marks the 9th Birthday of Melbourne's favourite two-piece garage-trash band DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS. That's right, they've almost hit the double digits. Geez, who would have thought that what started off as a bit of a joke by two mates looking for a reason to drink free beer and try to meet girls in their hometown, would take Sam and Andy to all corners of the globe across four continents. The DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS of 2012 is vastly different to that of 2003. Although their live set still features songs from their very first songwriting session, the boys themselves have changed. Whilst age has not wearied them, it hasn't been kind to them either. No, they are no longer Young, Tight and Alright. But they aren't the slightest bit perturbed to be carrying a few grey hairs and a bit of extra weight, they still have a thirst for the stage, a love for each other and a desire to keep on writing and performing music all over the world.

 

NO NO NO HOPES - NO NO NO HOPES
A swampy punk/garage/hardcore hybrid first seen on the 'Casual Victim Pile' compilation. Six songs including a notable Action Swingers-cover. Limited to 300 copies. Includes download.

 

TY SEGALL - THE HILL
Another cry of love from Ty Segall crashes the party and detonates without warning on the drink-soaked dance floor. Female voices ricochet, deadpanning from ear to ear. Fuzzy thunders reels on high, thudding slam into your life-chest and rolling out the door. Like a quicksilver wire at the center, Ty's voice seethes you as the unseen craft whirls closer. These are the bongbursts of tomorrow, flown into our so-called "today" as a global warning. Your mission, before it is too late. 'The Hill' is the first single from Ty Segall's 'Twins' album. 'Mother Lemonade' is a fun-ish, sun-ish flip-side anthem specific to this single, meant to be cherished in your personal time-capsule.

 

THE SONICS - PSYCHO/MAINTAINING MY COOL 
If one were forced to name one song that exemplifies the Sonics' revolutionary garage-punk sound, one would have to choose the bands nerve-crushing, soul-shattering 1964 landmark 'Psycho'. Boasting a drunkenly careening sax, a rampaging rhythm section and a wailing, throat-shredding vocal, this enduring classic is paired here with the attitudinal anthem 'Maintaining My Cool', which is widely regarded as one of the crowning achievements of the Sonics' Jerden years. In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity. In the decades since the Sonics first made their mark, the band's influence and mystique have grown steadily, with their relatively few recordings attaining mythic status amongst lovers of raw, undiluted rock n roll. Now, Sundazed honours the Sonics' awe-inspiring legacy with this tornadic trio of the band's original vintage 7" Jerden label singles, all originally released in 1966 and now restored to their original vinyl glory and decked out in snazzy new picture sleeves featuring fab vintage photos.

 

THE SONICS - THE WITCH/LIKE NO OTHER MAN
The song that originally put the Sonics on the map is the immortal underground anthem 'The Witch'. Recorded in July 1964 and driven by a bulldozing volley of drums, a brutally insistent guitar/sax riff and a possessed Gerry Roslie vocal, the song offered a darker, nastier alternative to the relatively well-groomed sounds of the British Invasion. Its prime, primal Sonics mayhem, with a sublimely swaggering B-side in 'Like No Other Man'. In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity. In the decades since the Sonics first made their mark, the band's influence and mystique have grown steadily, with their relatively few recordings attaining mythic status amongst lovers of raw, undiluted rock n roll. Now, Sundazed honours the Sonics' awe-inspiring legacy with this tornadic trio of the band's original vintage 7" Jerden label singles, all originally released in 1966 and now restored to their original vinyl glory and decked out in snazzy new picture sleeves featuring fab vintage photos.

 

THE SONICS - YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ON BACKWARDS/LOVE
In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity. In the decades since the Sonics first made their mark, the band's influence and mystique have grown steadily, with their relatively few recordings attaining mythic status amongst lovers of raw, undiluted rock n roll. Now, Sundazed honours the Sonics' awe-inspiring legacy with this tornadic trio of the band's original vintage 7" Jerden label singles, all originally released in 1966 and now restored to their original vinyl glory and decked out in snazzy new picture sleeves featuring fab vintage photos. For their first Jerden single, the Sonics invoked their bluesier influences and their wisecracking lyrical sensibility to come up with the world-class rave-up 'You Got Your Head On Backwards'. Meanwhile, the fearsome fivesome reveals a hitherto-unheard sensitive side on the ballad flipside 'Love Lights', which is as radical in its own way as the band's rockers.

INCA BABIES - DEATH MESSAGE BLUES
'Death Message Blues' is the powerful 2012 album from UK swamp blues band THE INCA BABIES. It's their sixth album in a career spanning 28 years and marks their return to live performance after the death of founder member bassist BILL MARTEN. Originally formed in Manchester in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist HARRY STAFFORD and bassist Marten, the band released four albums and recorded four sessions for the legendary John Peel Show before splitting in 1988. Reuniting in 2007, Stafford and Marten recruited GOLD BLADE drummer ROB HAYNES, but work on the new album was halted by Marten's sudden death in 2008. After a period of reflection, it was decided to complete the work that Marten had begun, with the band's long-time friend Vince Hunt (A Witness, Pure Sound) taking over on bass. 'Death Message Blues' features twelve tracks penned by Harry S. casting a net across fast and spiky R&B, swamp blues, bastard country and punk power. Lyrically, the songs observe usual Inca traits of wild characters, ghosts and murderous stories. And there also are warm reflections on the passing of founding member Bill Marten.

 

LEISURE BIRDS - GLOBE MASTER (+7")
From a heavenly body appears 'Globe Master', the second full-length from Minneapolis sci-fi garage quartet LEISURE BIRDS. Executed as a concept record, 'Globe Master' follows the journey of an unknown entity from the outermost dimensions of the galaxy to its eventual fall and transcendence to Earth. Enter the "Silver Runner", the namesake of the entity's mode of transport, which begins the pilgrimage with a propulsion of synthetic loops, skyward keys and slinking bass lines. Includes a free 7" single.

 

THE SPLITS - DEBUT
Female. Finnish. Fenomenal. While other members of their generation blog the latest fashion farts on Facebook and play electronic hipster bum bum in neon discoteques, the four young women of the SPLITS from Helsinki picked up some real guitars and drumsticks and met in stinky basements, where they taught themselves to play and to follow the footsteps of the WIPERS and '90s Riot Grrrl bands like L7, TEAM DRESCH, BIKINI KILL or SLEATER KINNEY, that they mix with their own vision of powerful Pop that BLONDIE and JAY REATARD taught them. Bittersweet and edgy, the 12 songs deal with interpersonal dilemmas, teenage angst and anger, and are presented with a killer of a voice that will make you shiver. Legend has it that they recorded these songs before they even played one single show. After their first little festival tour this summer, this record sold faster than moonshine liquor at a decent Finnish sauna night. The SPLITS are part of a new generation of young Punx that hopefully will split like amoebas.

 

VARIOUS - LOST LEGENDS OF SURF GUITAR (2LP)
It's hard to think of a musical style that's more quintessentially American than surf music. Springing up along the California coast in the early 1960s, the surf sound-characterized by "wet"-sounding guitar reverb that echoed the sound of the sea and pummeling rhythms that emulated the ocean's currents was originally inspired and nurtured by the culture that surrounded the sport. Despite its provincial origins, the surf genre captured the imagination of teenagers around the world, and spawned a remarkably large body of highly original music, with an emphasis on innovative guitar instrumentals that would influence rock axemen for decades to come. Much of that vintage surf music was originally released on small regional labels, and many of the acts that created some of the greatest surf music never released more than a handful of singles. Those factors resulted in many original surf classics remaining difficult to obtain in recent years. Sundazed Music, a longstanding champion of vintage surf music, went a long way towards remedying that situation with the release of its CD series 'Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar'. The series has been widely recognized for rescuing numerous rare, obscure and/or lesser-known gems from surf music's golden age. Now, the landmark series moves into second gear, progressing into the vinyl format with a pair of double-LP collections, each of which features 28 below-the-radar vintage surf killers. 'Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar' gathers a rousing, roaring assortment of underground surf classics and underappreciated gems by such notable surf combos as The Challengers, the Pyramids, the Tornadoes, Jerry Cole & His Spacemen, the Catalinas, the Centurions, the Essex, the Jesters, the Rhythm Rockers, the Royal Coachmen, the Tandems and Dave Myers and His Surftones, as well as numbers by both the Surfaris and the Original Surfaris! There's also a rarely-heard track by legendary Minnesota surf-garage kings the Trashmen, the out-there 'Devil Surfer' by Scott Engel (who would soon go on to pop stardom and cult acclaim as Scott Walker) and scarce versions of such surf anthems as 'Jack The Ripper', 'Point Panic' and 'Moondawg'. This essential collection, meticulously mastered from rare vintage tapes and pressed on high-quality vinyl, is the perfect collection for gremmie and ho-dad alike, so grab this wave and jump head-first into the surf!!!
