From the dank warehouse recesses that brought us Useless Eaters and Dry Erase, Castle Face introduces Exit Group—sharply futuristic post-punk with a pissed-off lean, antisocial lyrics spit over an abnormally locked-in guitar / bass / drums triangle, wound up tighter than a Swiss watch. Post-everything sample tweakery and chromedipped guitar tonality lend a darkly robotic sheen, abraded riffs pop up everywhere but where you think they should be, clanging and clanking inhumanly around elaborate Rube Goldberg patterns, tessellating under flickering municipal neon. Adverse Habitat is bone-dry furious, turning on a dime just to slap the drink out of your hand.

Melodic Energy Commission is a Canadian gem and an interesting branch of the Hawkwind family tree (featuring Del Delmar on electronics.) Hailing from British Columbia, their unique blend of space rock, progressive and hippie psychedelia began in 1977 as a recording-only project titled "The Melodic Energy Commission of Collected Artists."

In 1985 Ken Man showed up in the studio
with this IBM AT computer. It had a 1/2 MB of
RAM and some Voyetra software that could
sequence music, becoming the duo's backing
band. Fist Of Facts contributors included Mark Cunningham from Mars, Felice Rosser, Genevieve De Monvel Boutet, Carlos Vivanco, Scott Hartley from the Liquids and a whole host of others.
Fist of Facts expand the natural groove that Liquid Liquid established over their quick career, with a strong political message combined with abstract dub soundscapes.

Melbourne's Kirkis is back. Exposing his talents further in more obvious ways across this album - the musical ability that runs through this man is incredible. Check the post punk blast "Dark Room" if you need convincing quickly. Get one. Self released.

The first album recorded at the band's newly built Metway Studio, ZEITGEIST showcased a much heavier sound than on previous Levellers albums; but the alienation remained the same.

With its central theme of homelessness, the Top 20 single, Hope Street, is as relevant today as upon first release.

And whilst The Fear, Forgotten Ground and Exodus reflected the divided nation we lived - and still live - in, the album also includes less political songs in the party anthem, Just The One and Fantasy. Both of which continued the Levellers string of Top 20 hits.

ZEITGEIST reached Number One in the UK album chart in September 1995, continuing the Levellers' stratospheric rise from their 'cult indie' status to selling out arena tours in under five years.

Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio, the band's 'difficult third album' was originally released in September 1993.

Often overshadowed by its predecessor, Levelling the Land, LEVELLERS features some of the band's most political and thought-provoking songs which still feature in their live set 25 years later.

The uplifting, floor stomping tale of death in police custody, Dirty Davey and the anthemic The Likes of You and I sit alongside original versions of Top 20 singles Belarus, This Garden and the beautifully tragic Julie.

LEVELLERS entered the UK album chart at #2, making it the band's most successful album to date.

Unavailable on vinyl for over 20 years, the album has been remastered by Jon Sevink from the original 1/2' analogue tapes and has never sounded so good!

LEVELLERS comes as a glorious 2LP orange vinyl set packaged with a previously unreleased live album from the 1993 tour recorded

Pacific City Sound Visions greets wonder again, this fall, to bring you a third vinyl release from the late 80's early 90's experimental/industrial european scene. Another special release on Spencer Clarks incredible label. Big Tip on this! Limited to 280 copies

After Vox Populi!'s "HALF DEAD GANJA MUSIC" and Frank Dommert's "KIEFERMUSIK", we have a hand picked compilation by the Hamburg artist MAAT. MAAT is a solo project by Dorte Marth, who created two secretly powerful and underappreciated records in 1993. They were released on two labels(Dragnet, Dom Elchklang) run by Achim P. Li Khan, the co-founder of the GREATEST BAND ON EARTH, H.N.A.S. MAAT'S musical pallette is at once, strikingly, a more dark and brooding occult version of Anima and Limpe Fuchs. One can hear classical music references much like Coil's Unnatural History, but played further, blurring the shadowy lines between sampling and virtuoso playing.
MAAT'S dark and glisteningly illustrated use of electronic drums, Pan-Asian arrangements, and classical styles, invent a private world where she uncovers and projects forth, a new and ancient female energy. Its almost as if she is orchestrating her pallette and shooting it through star-clusters beneath the world. Probably Typhonian Highlife's and 4th World Magazines greatest influence.

From the first bars of the opener 'Glow Out Of Time', Orango pull no punches
and let you know exactly what Evergreens is all about: grit, groove and melody.
Or is it Taking a sideways step from the album's predecessor The Mules of
Nana, Evergreens eschews some of the polish, opting for a more stripped-down,
harder-rocking sound, filled out by the band's signature vocal harmonies. It also
shows Orango at their most adventurous, as evinced by the album's title track
and closer, the 16-minute epic 'Evergreen'. This track alone is worth the admission
price; flutes, organ, adventure-inspiring bass runs that could be approved
by Iron Maiden, melancholy and contemplation giving way to ecstasy.
You thought you knew OrangoOrango's confident brew of good ol' southern rock, west coast style vocal
harmonies and an amazing live energy, has been fine tuned with every album,
peaking with the recording of their new album, Evergreens. The music was
recorded purely out of internal inspiration; playing for the love of music in itself,
and not compromising on their true affection for the genre´s influencers.
Evergreens is released on green vinyl in gatefold sleeve , CD and digital.

Randy Holden is an American guitarist best known for his involvement with the West Coast blues-rock group Blue Cheer on their third album, New! Improved! (1969).

Holden obtained a sponsorship deal with Sunn amplifiers. Through this, he received his legendary sixteen 200 Watt amplifiers. His new band was dubbed 'Randy Holden - Population II which was a reference to the fact there were only two members in the band as well as being an astronomical term 'Population II that defines a special kind of Star Group cluster type, having Heavy Metal in its composition. An appropriate description of the original style of the music attributed to Holden's new band. The band recorded its only album, Population II in 1970. '(...) These guitars sound not like heavy metal falling from the sky, but like black holes disintegrating chunks of the earth's core (...)' The album has become a much-sought-after collectors' item over the years.

On The Other Side collects all non-album tracks released by The Marked Men, originally released in the period between 2003 and 2010 on labels such as Dirtnap, Swami, No Idea, Shit Sandwich, and Mortville, plus two never-before-heard unreleased tracks from deep in the vault. It's hard to believe that it's been close to fifteen years since Dirtnap first released a Marked Men record. Since then, the label has done close to twenty releases by the band member's various bands (Marked Men, Radioactivity, High Tension Wires, Potential Johns, Mind Spiders). Counting the releases Mark Ryan and / or Jeff Burke have had a hand in recording, that number goes even higher. It's a relationship that continues to this day; if there is / has been a 'flagship band' for the label, Marked Men and their various offshoots are it. Although they continue to play a handful of shows each year, the band hasn't released any new material since 2009 (the last album came out in 2008), and they have no plans to do so, so this compilation is as close to a new album as one is going to get. The band's affinity for fast, choppy power chords and manic energy is in evidence here, as the band stretches its legs throughout these solid closing credits and shows why they were one of the leaders of a sound that has never gone (or will go) out of style.

Transparent vinyl 7' in a spined sleeve with 2 brand new unreleased songs from The Wombats.

This single follows on from their Top 10 album 'Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life' (TWMB001CD/ TWMB001LP). This summer, the band have supported Kings of Leon on tour and played both Reading and Leeds festivals.

If you've seen The Wombats live, you know the British trio delivers a performance full of energy and colour -- and their latest video is proof of that. Though the video for the group's new single 'Bee-Sting' isn't from a live show,

the clip sees The Wombats performing the track in an unfinished warehouse, porting brightly colored clothes as trippy neon lights pop up around the room. The video makes the Wombats guys (frontman Matthew 'Murph' Murphy,

drummer Dan Haggis, and bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen) look pretty cool, but Murph admits the set was exactly the opposite. Well, except for his outfit. 'Filmed on a hot summer's day in Shoreditch, I'd had zero sleep, there were

no electric fans and I was basically sweating uncontrollably for hours on end,' Murph recalls. 'But that jacket was worth it!' Despite the heat, 'Bee-Sting' director Sam Taylor commended The Wombats

for giving the performance their all and making the video special. 'The Wombats, to me, have always meant energy, energy, energy!' he exclaims.

Wolves In The Throne Room will be releasing the sorrowful and grand self-titled debut album by Cascadian funeral doom band Vouna through their own Artemisia Records. All music on Vouna was composed and all instruments performed by front-person and fellow native to the Pacific Northwest Yianna Bekris, previously of Vradiazei, Eigenlicht, and Sadhaka. This debut evokes the devastating and beautiful journey of becoming the last person on Earth. Razor sharp tremolo picked guitars cut through the heart like a knife. Mournfully sung vocals and cinematic melodies are combined with crushing doom drumming, while layers of primitive '90s digital synths conjure a lush and rugged soundscape. The music is inspired and influenced by Finnish funeral doom, Eastern European black metal, and Greek folk music, a must-hear for fans of My Dying Bride, Skepticism, Shape Of Despair, and similar acts.

Fresh on the heels of the band's latest spectacular psych rock masterpiece,
Stickman Records is happy to present a reissue of the long
out-of-print second album by Weedpecker. Weedpecker formed in Warsaw,
Poland in the early
2000s as a stoner rock band
with serious melodic tendencies.
Much in the same vein
as now-labelmates Elder, the
band has gradually traded riffs
for atmosphere and progressive
song structures, stepping
further away from others'
footsteps with each release.
On II, their aptly-titled second
full-length, the band broadened
their sound on all levels,
and as a result dropped jaws
across the stoner rock community
in 2015.
Weedpecker makes huge
riffs that are majestic and
beautiful, suspending them
in oceans of reverb and psychedelic
atmosphere. II takes less influence from the lighter
side of psych rock than the
record that followed it, opting
instead for a grunge-tinged
approach to their stoner epics.
Brother guitarists Piotr and
Bartek Dobry play off each
other with an ease perhaps expected
from family - offering
twin guitar leads and chunky
stoner grooves that melt into
hazy, ethereal atmosphere in
the next moment. On top of it
all, sublime vocal harmonies
complete the picture of a superb
rock album that is both
heavy and beautiful.
II is available on vinyl including
download and CD from
Stickman Records on November
30th.

Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit. Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals.


Here presented the mighty first LEGEND album, a killer psych beat masterpiece, complete with three bonus tracks.

Limited edition of 500 copies.

Originally released in April 1996 on Epic Records, this was the band's second studio album. The title refers to president Regan's description of the former Soviet Union. Includes 3 Grammy Award nominated songs and the album was certified 3 x platinum in May 2000. An 11 track album pressed on standard black vinyl with download code insert. Marketing activity.

Zzebra were at the forefront of mid 70's progressive rock that threw jazz, rock, and African rhythms into a huge fusion blender. Created by an amalgamation of two important figures: the saxophonist Dave Quincy from IF, and the Nigerian flautist and saxophonist Lasisi 'Loughty' Amao from Osibisa, Zzebra, joined then by Tommy Eyre, John McCoy Liam Genockey, Alan Marshall and the only 17-year old guitarist Steve Byrd.


PANIC is the second studio album of the band recorded during the summer of 1975 and includes, among the others, the highly inventive instrumental interpretation of 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling', the atmospheric 'Liamo', the groovy 'Put A Light On Me', and concludes its journey with the killer tracks 'Return To Forever' and 'La Si Si-La So So'.

Limited edition of 500 copies.

- Beautiful 1 LP Edition 140g Vinyl, Heavy 350gsm Sleeve, Sticker WRWTFWW Records is extremely excited to present the official reissue of cult album Lingua Franca-1 (originally released in 1983) by groundbreaking Kyoto band EP-4, available on vinyl housed in heavy 350gsm sleeve and digipack CD. Straight from the delirious minds of unconventional geniuses Kaoru Sato (who had previously released an album as R.N.A. Organism on legendary Osaka label Vanity Records) and Yuji 'Banana' Kawashima, Lingua Franca-1 is a seamless voyage of spellbinding mutant funk grooves, joyful post-punk explorations, synth fantasies, sexy distortions, and fluid cool-no-sweat vocals. Constantly mutating in an almost biological way (similarly to Colored Music's self-titled album), always mysterious and seductive, sometimes reminiscing of a freaky cross between PiL, Liquid Liquid, Bowie and Yello, EP-4's debut is hard to label, although 'Debonair Wave' could be a legitimate way to describe this Japan's best-kept-secret of an album. Defying the rules wasn't limited to sonic experimentations for band leader Kaoru Sato. To promote Lingua Franca-1, he and his crew plastered gigantic (illegal) billboards all over Shibuya and Harajuku, announcing performances in four different cities on odd hours of the same day (May 5th 1983). Other of his notable antics included originally sub-titling the album Death to the Emperor Showa causing a controversy (which led to censorship and a title-change), trying to release two albums on the same day without the concerned labels being aware of the plan or, in the R.N.A. Organism days, fooling Vanity Records into believing the demo he sent them came from a foreign band (it worked). Unique personality, unique music!

For future reference the cat no has changed on this release.
We will ship the original preorders out on the first catalogue number, then all future orders will be PNG03 on our system / paperwork****

Pip Blom is a phenomenal young indie rock band from Amsterdam that's been making waves in England, a BBC radio darling touring with Franz Ferdinand and The Breeders. Pip Blom is both the name of the band and its leader, a dynamic 21-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist. Paycheck, the group's new EP, is a roaring, attitude-laden offering that maintains their playfulness and knack for melody that's earned comparisons to Blur and Courtney Barnett.

In 2017, a series of hooky singles Pip uploaded to the internet hit over a million plays, bringing a sudden burst of overseas accolades. The singles sold out quickly, and El Diablo (run by Guided By Voices / Yoko Ono manager) has pressed up just 500 copies of this 10' vinyl. The EP is something of an older sibling to Pip's previous 7's, doubling up on the infectiousness of those early hits but with a bigger crunch. Festival appearances and energetic, gripping live shows around the UK and Europe have solidified the band as a rising star in a new generation of indie guitar bands.

Kate Stables has been recording and releasing music as This Is The Kit since 2005. In May of 2018, Kate and her band took some time off from their busy tour schedule supporting The National and treated us to a very intimate and special performance. Stables' uniquely-textured voice possesses a tone that quietly reels you in, and -- following the tradition of exquisitely strange troubadours like Karen Dalton, Will Oldham, or Robert Wyatt -- is simply arresting.

"Songs For The Daily Planet" is the debut album by singer/song writer Todd Snider that was originally released in 1994. Combining country, folk and roots rock elements with rock n roll attitude to spare, the album was critically acclaimed and put Todd on the music map as a major new talent. From the opening track "My Generation (Part 2)" where he indicts his own generation, to the chilling "You Think You Know Somebody", about a lifelong friend who turns out to be a child absuser, to the final song, the Dylanesque hidden track "Talking Seattle Grunge-Rock Blues" which pokes fun at the music industry hype around the Seattle music scene, Snider's songwriting and performing chops shine on his incredible debut. In a gatefold sleeve, on 180 gram black vinyl or translucent green vinyl, the first time ever released on LP!

Tanita Tikaram was only 19 when she released her debut album Ancient Heart. She recorded a wistful and melancholy work which shows a woman with a lot of life experience. Her perfect signature song 'Twist in My Sobriety' is an unbelievable deep and stark track. Years after it's release it doesn't sound one bit dated and it shows her fully skilled talent as a singer-songwriter. Another track that made it to the charts is 'Good Tradition'. Other highlights include the more upbeat 'Cathedral Song,' and the jazzy 'For All the Years'. It's the definite highlight of Tanita Tikaram's career.

Bloody Kisses Is The Third Studio Album By The Successful Gothic Metal Band Type O Negative. The Last Recording To Feature The Band's Original Line-up Is An Album Of An Exceptionally High Level.

In the spring of 1969, 49th Parallel had a hit in with 'Twilight Woman', a lovely song that sounds like a poppier version of what bands like Tomorrow were doing in England. That success led to the release of 49th Parallel's only album. All hyperbole aside, it is easily one of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era. The album is strong throughout—from the pulsating psychedelia of 'Lazerander Filchy' and the ultra-strange '(The) Magician', the shimmering beauty of 'Twilight Woman', to the quintessential slashing guitars punk edginess of 'Now That I'm a Man' and '(Come On Little Child &) Talk To Me'. Dan Lowe's blazing fuzz guitar work stands out on 'Missouri' and also when matched by organist Jack Velker's brilliant work on 'Eye To Eye', 'Talk To Me' and '(The) People'.

- This LP pressing limited to 300 copies—only 250x copies for sale outside of Canada

- One of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era

- Comes with color insert with band history and photos

- From the master tapes.

- Demos, home recordings & previously unissued songs from the first three America albums. - Their earliest recordings, available on vinyl for the first time. - Liner notes by founding member Dewey Bunnell. - CD version still available. In 1967, Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek met in high school. Sons of U.S. servicemen stationed in England, the three teenagers ultimately formed a band that was inspired by the British Invasion. Soon they began writing their own style that would soon achieve popularity worldwide. The group signed to Warner Bros. Records London in 1971 and needed a name . . . they chose America. Omnivore Recordings, in association with the group's living founding members Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, is proud to announce the release of Highlights From Heritage: Home Recordings/Demos 1970-1973, the LP version of last year's highly acclaimed release on CD. This collection is the first ever vinyl release of some of the group's most beloved songs in their most embryonic and intimate form. You will hear the group's earliest recordings recorded before America's multi-platinum eponymously titled debut album from Chalk Hill Farm Studios, outside of London as well as previously unissued songs from Gerry Beckley's Buzz Studios (his home in West Hollywood during the early '70s). Follow the muse, as the band demos previously unissued songs ('Sea Of Destiny,' 'Man Of Pride') and early versions of America deep cuts ('Riverside' and 'Here'). Highlights From Heritage: Home Recordings/Home Demos 1970-1973 offers an up close and personal portrait of a band primed for stardom, creating classic songs that would still resonate almost 50 years later­—on vinyl—as nature intended!

This digitally re-mastered version of "Suffer" comes with new art and finally allows you to hear this album the way it was meant to be heard! BR's third album that was hailed as "Best Album Of The Year" by punk bibles Flipside and Maximum Rock 'n Roll. Bad Religion's 1987 release, is one of their finest. The band (which saw the original line-up reunite for the album's release) was improving and becoming more and more focused with each successive release, and SUFFER showed the band as one of the world's top thought-provoking punk outfits. Although many similar-sounding bands have taken Bad Religion's patented sound further chartwise, few have been able to truly top such Bad Religion classics as "You Are (the Government)," the title track, "Do What You Want," and "What Can You Do"

An exclusive made for Lion Productions pressing of The Holy Grail of Canadian rock, a veritable fuzz guitar inferno—a volcanic dose of intense fuzz guitar, the perfect complement to the band's shambolic garage ambience, and chugging beat. This raw, murky slab of heavy psych was released by indie label Trend in autumn 1970 and immediately sank without a trace. Over the decades, however, obsessive fans and collectors of the era's unsung greats gradually came to recognize the obscure Toronto band's genius, with the now impossible-to-find original LP eventually trading hands for $5000+ plus in the rare vinyl market. A strange case here, as the music on 'Sussex' is often overshadowed by the album's reputation as a one of the rarest collectible LPs in the world—hey, but it's the greatness of the music that keeps people coming back through numerous reissues over the years. Fully authorized high quality pressing licensed direct from Marty Roth. Printed inner sleeve has lyrics and liner notes. DMM remastered.

A longer, reworked version of the song was a staple of the Isolar II Tour, and a live version from that tour was used as the lead track on the original live 7" E.P. to promote Bowie's second live album, STAGE in 1978.

- First-ever collection of the earliest, original Lone Justice's demos. - On CD and 45 RPM 12' EP. - Mastered and lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman. - Notes and track-by-track commentary from Marvin Etzioni. 'Maria & I woodshedded for almost a year before we were ready to take the music we had uncovered out into the clubs. This is the original line-up of Lone Justice.' —Ryan Hedgecock Musician and producer Marvin Etzioni first saw Maria McKee and Ryan Hedgecock in a club in 1982, playing George Jones and Hank Williams covers. He convinced them they needed original material. After working and writing, the band added Dave Harrington (bass) and Don Willens (drums), the band worked up material with Etzioni and cut 5 of the 6 tracks at the famed Record Plant. An earlier session provides the 6th track. The Western Tapes: 1983 exhibits the genesis of this highly-influential band. While the original demo version of 'Drugstore Cowboy' has appeared on various compilations, the remainder of the other tracks from the sessions have remained in the can. Two of the tracks appear in their earliest demo form and wound up landing on the classic 1988 Lone Justice debut, 'Working Late' and 'Don't Toss Us Away' (written by Maria's half-brother, Bryan MacLean of the classic band, Love) which would eventually become a top 5 smash for Country superstar Patty Loveless. Released in conjunction with the band, the 12" and CD EP were mastered by Bernie Grundman (who also cut the 45 RPM lacquers). It's a look into where they started and foretells where they would go. As Etzioni (who would later join the band) says in his liner notes: 'With countless hours together, it was a fun and innocent time. I believed we were creating a 21st century country band.' They created much, much more.
