From the heart of the late '70s / early '80s British underground scene, an extraordinary album at the very edge between art-rock, and punk. The Work were a full electric band featuring Tim Hodkinson, his very first project after the seminal experience of Henry Cow, and three younger maverick figures from the London underground scene. Guitarist Bill Gilonis (The Lowest Note, News from Babel, The Hat Shoes), bassist Mick Hobbs (Officer, Half Japanese), and Drummer Rick Wilson (Family Fodder). The Work embodies the crucial step between two unrepeatable decades in music. An unprecedented mixture of rock complexity and punk attitude. Unapologetically raw and direct, Slow Crimes, The Work's first album originally released in 1982, stands as one of the most essential and uncompromising pieces of vinyl in the field of experimental rock. This is a special edition LP + CD + printed inner sleeve with unpublished pictures and various memorabilia. The CD contains the album + 3 extra tracks from The Work's first and only 7" including the anthemic "I hate America". Includes printed inner sleeve.

I Hate America, Fingers & Toes, Duty, Houdini =CD only bonus track

Plasmatics were founded in 1977 when Wendy O. Williams responded to manager, artist, provocateur, and punk rock scenester Rod Swenson's casting call in the pages of Show Business Weekly for his theater show, Captain Kink's Sex Fantasy Theater. By 1978 they had recruited a full band and were performing regularly at CBGB's, where they quickly rose from playing once a week to performing two sold out shows a night during regular four night a week runs. Their provocative and wild live show - which often involved nudity and chain-sawed guitars - bridged the gap between punk rock and performance art. They quickly became notorious up and down the east coast and were signed to the legendary Stiff Records, who released their debut album in 1980. A perfect blend of punk, new wave, and metal sensibilities, with Wendy's tough, guttural drawl taking center stage, New Hope for the Wretched is a classic piece of first wave New York City punk rock lovingly back in print on LP from Radiation Reissues.

Nach 8 Jahren kommt das neue Studioalbum der Thüringer! Die Trabireiter sind handfester Punk
Rock mit einer guten Portion Humor.
Die Band Trabireiter aus dem schönen Thüringen gibt es seit 3 Jahren wieder. Die Band hat sich
mit ihrem neuen Album Assiherzen sehr viel Zeit gelassen, aber das Warten hat sich gelohnt! Das
Album klingt ausgereift und wohl überlegte Texte zeugen von der Auseinandersetzung der Musiker mit
der Lebensrealität. In der Zwischenzeit haben sie viel live gespielt und erfolgreich die Hallen gefüllt.
Die Trabireiter sind ganz klar eine Band, die sich vom üblichen Deutschrock- und Punk Klischee
abhebt.
Die Band kreiert ihren eigenen Musikstil, welchen man als Assirock beschreiben könnte. Dazu kommen
humorvolle Texte, die weder peinlich, noch aufgesetzt wirken. Songs, wie Bleib nicht stehen oder hartz
aber herrlich sprechen eine deutliche Sprache. Es handelt sich hierbei um das 7 Studioalbum
der 1994 gegründeten Band. Assiherzen kommt mit einem exzellenten Artwork.

The 1978 rehearsal tapes/demos of their first recordings, including 'Holiday In Cambodia' and 'California Uber Alles," with the original band of Jello Biafra, East Bay Ray, Klaus Floride, Ted and 6025. These tapes have never been released in any form anywhere and this is the first new Dead Kennedys anything in about 13 years.

In nur 6 Monaten über 250.000 Plays, dreimal hintereinander in der Spotify-Playlist von Kult-Comedian
Jan Böhmermann, schon das zweite Album am Start. Das sind Kurt Prödel, Susi Bumms und Dax
Werner alias THE SCREENSHOTS! Sie veröffentlichten im April ihr erstes Album Ein starkes Team -
7 Songs mit einer Gesamtlänge 16 Minuten und 48 Sekunden, weil wir in einer schnelllebigen Zeit
leben. Man weiß nicht genau, wer sie sind, sie sind die erste Twitterband in der Geschichte
Deutschlands und rocken sich als Avatare 'unironisch ins mark der postinternet- generation'. Sie
selbst beschreiben ihren Sound als 'ehrlichen und geraden Punkrock aus der Powerstadt Krefeld''Das
erste Album haben wir damals in einer abgelegenen Berghütte in Norwegen aufgenommen!' erklären
die drei bei einem Interview. Vielleicht war es gerade diese Abgeschiedenheit Norwegens, die THE
SCREENSHOTS zu diesen cleveren und politisch aufgeladenen Texten inspirierte, wie zum Beispiel
'Deutschland', eine Art wir- rer Fiebertraum und rockiger Ritt durch die letzten dreißig Jahre
bundesrepublikanischer Geschichte. Und auch sonst gehts in erster Linie genau um die Dinge, die die
Shooters in ihrem Leben bewegen: Europa, Deutschland, Musik und immer wieder: Liebe. THE
SCREENSHOTS ernster und erwachsener geworden.

The second studio album from punk rock legend and noted sociopath GG Allin, E.M.F. aka Eat My Fuq, is one of the rawest and most brutal slabs of wax in punk history. The dude who went too far in a genre known for going too far, this is perhaps his greatest moment and an essential piece of punk rock history.

The story of Seattle's rise to global rock supremacy in the late 80s and early 90s
begins with Green River. Made up of Jeff Ament (bass), Mark Arm (guitar/vocals),
Bruce Fairweather (guitar), Stone Gossard (guitar) and Alex Shumway (drums), the
quintet put out three 12's and a 7' single during its brief existence.
Green River's influence on Seattle's music scene spread far and wide thanks to the
members' dispersion into bands including Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and Love Battery, as
well as the punk glam sludge rock songs they left behind. 'By '83, '84, there was
definitely a movement that was happening within hardcore, like Black Flag slowing
down for My War,' says Arm. 'The Replacements and Butthole Surfers were rearing
their heads, and they're very different bands, but they're not hardcore - the
Replacements are pretty much straight-up rock, and Butthole Surfers were God
knows what. Sonic Youth's Bad Moon Rising was around, and a lot of really
interesting post-hardcore things were happening.'
Green River, formed in 1984, were part of that evolution, with a sound that
straddled a lot of different genres - blues, punk, bloozy straight-ahead rock. The
mini-LP 'Dry As A Bone' - which came out in 1987 - and the band's lone full-length
'Rehab Doll' - which came out in 1988 - were released as a single CD with a few
bonus cuts, including their sneering cover of David Bowie's 'Queen Bitch' and their
marauding version of Dead Boys' 'Ain't Nothin' to Do', in 1990 - but they've been
unavailable on vinyl for years.
Now, these slices of Seattle music history are not only back in print, they're
accompanied by items from the vaults that had been forgotten about for decades.
'Dry As A Bone' was recorded at Jack Endino's Reciprocal Recording in 1986 and it
shows the band in furious form, with Arm's yowl battling Fairweather and Gossard's
ferocious guitar playing on 'This Town' and 'Unwind' opening as a slow bluesy grind
then jump-starting itself into a hyperactive chase. The deluxe edition includes Green
River's cuts from the crucial Seattle-scene compilation 'Deep Six', as well as long-lost
songs that were recorded to the now-archaic format Betamax.
'Rehab Doll', recorded largely at Seattle's Steve Lawson Studios., bridges the gap
between the taut, punky energy of 'Dry As A Bone' and the bigger drums and thicker
riffs that were coming to dominate rock in the late 80s. This new edition of 'Rehab
Doll' includes a version of 'Swallow My Pride' recorded to 8-track at Endino's
Reciprocal Recording, which features a more accurate depiction of how the band
sounded when they played live. 'When I listen to these mixes, I think, 'This is how
we actually sounded - this is the kind of energy we had,'' says Shumway.
Green River's place in American music history is without question but these
recordings paint a more complete picture of the band - and of rock in the mid to late
80s, when punk's faster-and-louder ideals had begun shape-shifting into other ideas.

Wieder legen Die Goldenen Zitronen alle zehn Finger in die Wunden und wühlen darin
herum, dass es wehtut.
... und einmal mehr halten Die Goldenen Zitronen voll drauf mit den Waffen der Kritik, sezieren, spießen auf
und polieren Widersprüche. Nach nun schon einigen Jahrzehnten sind die Goldies noch immer eine
Punkband. Aber eine, die sich, die eigene Szene und die eigene Musik hinterfragt und Punk als eine Haltung
definiert, die Haltung sucht, sowohl musikalisch als auch inhaltlich. Das lässt uns immer wieder überrascht
aufhorchen, klanglich und textlich und vieles bringt uns zum Grübeln. Auf "More Than A Feeling" ist die
Gruppe arbeitsteiliger vorgegangen als auf früheren Alben, die Genese ist eher an zeitgenössische Hiphop
Produktionen angelehnt. Und so krachen hier Acid, DAF, Ernst Busch, Kendrick Lamar, Punkrock,
Störgeräusche und Experimente mit Sequencer und Drummachines zusammen. Die Goldies äußern sich
immer so, wie es bisher noch niemand gemacht hat. "More Than A Feeling" ist nicht zuletzt auch eine
Sammlung von verzweifelten Spottliedern, von denen man nicht weiß, was schwerer wiegt, der Spott oder die
Verzweiflung über das Verspottete.

Hyenas went down to Memphis to the legendary Easley Studios to record their final LP with the one and only Doug Easley. On Hard Times, we see the Hyenas influences are more Howlin' Wolf/Muddy Waters than they are Nick Cave/Iggy Pop. Every bit as emotionally ruthless as their previous releases, the Laughing Hyenas went out on a high note with Hard Times.

2 years after releasing Life of Crime, Kevin Strickland and Jim Kimball had left to form Mule. Many people thought this marked the end of the band; not the case. Todd Swalla (of Necros) stepped in on drums and Kevin Ries on bass. Over the new slightly toned down direction, the sound of the band somehow seemed even more extreme.

The Messthetics are an instrumental trio featuring Brendan Canty (drums), Joe Lally (bass), and Anthony Pirog (guitar). Brendan Canty and Joe Lally were the rhythm section of the band Fugazi from its inception in 1987 to its period of hiatus in 2002.

This is the first band they've had together since then. Anthony Pirog is a jazz and experimental guitarist based in Washington, D.C. One half of the duo Janel & Anthony, he has emerged as a primary figure in the city's out-music community.

The trio's debut includes nine songs recorded at Canty's practice space throughout 2017, live and mostly without overdubs. It's a snapshot of a band dedicated to the live ideal, where structure begets improvisation.

FINE JEWELERS is the duo of Dan Helmer (solo Helmer releases on Valcrond Video and Anomia) and Matt Korvette (vocalist of Pissed Jeans). Working at dangerously high BPMs, FINE JEWELERS create neurotic industrial rave music and inhospitable gabber. This four-track debut is a techno headbanger's paradise, primed for subterranean club performance, dungeon Crossfit and outdoor bonfire parties with kids on dirtbikes. If that doesn't get you fired up, just braindance through the midnight d-beat and try again.

Brighton punk/riot grrrl group PUSSYLIQUOR are set to release a new seven-inch EP on Revulva Records.

The 'What Of It' EP was recorded by Marc Waterman and mixed by Oliver Wright and is the follow up to their debut 'PUSSYLIQUOR's 7inch WONDER' EP. Featuring 'Lady Wank, 'C.U.NT.' and lead single 'My Body My Choice', the songs were written while the band were on their degree courses with Access To Music where the five like minded souls bonded over a passion for hard-core music and even harder core feminist beliefs.

The band explain - The subject of our focus at this time was around feminism, we were writing lots of songs surrounding the topic and sharing stories of when we've been undermined for our gender and the inspiration for the tracks came from a reflection of our own experiences. What we gained from sharing these experiences was empowerment over shame, through this song and our music in general we are encouraging others to do the same. 'My body, my choice, my life, my voice' these words can have an impact on any individual and it is a statement that should be passed through the ages.

Live the PUSSYLIQUOR line up of Ari Black (Vocals), Victoria Lewis Piper (Drums), Hannah Villanueva (Guitar), Tallulah Turner-Fray (Bass) and Lucy Priddle (Guitar) are a force to be reckoned with. Their no nonsense and in your face approach conjures up the feeling and energy of Cosey Fanni Tutti, L7 and The Slits. Five switched on young women - average age of twenty - fighting a cause, hoping that their music will empower other young women to come out from the shadows and celebrate what it means to be a woman. See them at the following venues over the next few months

Formed in 1979 near Bristol, Chaos UK are a classic group of the early '80s British hardcore scene who released several records on the legendary 2nd wave of British punk label, Riot City Records. Flogging The Corpse is an amazing archival release collecting previously unreleased tracks and 10 great live cuts recorded in 1983, the same year as the band's debut release. Brutal and unrelentingly fast hardcore from one of the greatest groups of the UK scene.

Originally released in 1981, this is the 4th EP from legendary British hardcore group Discharge and it's perhaps their most famous and widely regarded recording. A blistering 10 tracks clocking in at around 15 minutes total, Why reached #1 on the UK indie charts which, when listening today, seems like a miraculous feat for such a brutal and revolutionary sound. Discharge paved the way for '80s crust and thrash punk and literally have a genre of punk named after their unique rhythmic approach and the dozens of imitators it spawned, "D-beat"; this EP, along with the classic debut album, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing (RRS90), are the most essential items in their catalog. True punks must get this!

One of the longest standing punk groups in history, Peter & The Test Tube Babies are still going strong today, with 2018 marking their 40th anniversary. The Loud Blaring Punk Rock LP is their 4th LP, originally released in 1985, is the epitome of childish, unrefined, and perfect punk rock and roll. With such deep, poetic titles as "We're Too Drunk", "Pick Yer Nose (And Eat It)", "Beat Up The Mods", you know what you're getting here; drunken, stupid, sloppy, and absolutely perfect UK punk.

Resistance 77 are an Oi! and street punk group originating in Nottingham in 1980 and still going strong today, with their latest album released in 2015. Originally released in 1984, Thoroughbred Men is their first proper album, full of sloppy catchy riffs, anthemic vocals, and pounding rhythms. Influenced heavily by first wave Oi! groups like Cock Sparrer and Sham 69, and released on the punk group Riot Squad's Rot Records, this is an obscure and smoking piece of Oi! history never before reissued on LP.

Considered as minimalistic, electronic, dark new wave classics, both 12' EPs by DAYS OF SORROW are highly sought after nowadays, fetching insane prices when seen for sale. For this reason and our love for the band we are immensely proud of making these two EPs available again after more than 30 years, in the form of a COMPILATION ALBUM entitled 'WHATEVER HAPPENS' which also INCLUDES TWO UNRELEASED SONGS FROM 1986 (and three more in the included digital download) that were shelved and forgotten back then. All songs have been carefully remastered for this awaited release. We bring it to you as a limited, hand numbered edition of 200 black vinyl copies, housed in a matt finish sleeve with printed inner sleeve full of band pics and including a download code.

DAYS OF SORROW was born in a small town north of Düsseldorf (Germany) in 1981. The post-punk / new wave movement was at its boiling height. Their first 12' EP 'Remembering the Days' was published in the late 1984. After a lot of live gigs and a line-up change a full ten track album was recorded in December 1986. But the album never materialized and another 12' EP entitled 'A Thousand Faces' was released instead in 1987, featuring just three of the ten recorded songs, while the rest remained unreleased. Shortly after, just ahead of a scheduled Spanish tour, DAYS OF SORROW disbanded.

Responsible, along with Green Day and Offspring for the rebirth and commercial success of punk rock in the '90s, Rancid owed their credibility to Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's years spent with ska punk pioneers OPERATION IVY in the '80s. The group drew their inspiration from old school UK punk rock, mostly the Clash and The Ruts, but also later acts like Subhumans and Cockney Rejects, resulting in a mixture that rewrote the history of punk rock. This is a compilation of their hits from '90s radio broadcasts, displaying the irresistible energy of 90's classics such as 'Time Bomb', 'Roots Radical', or 'Nihilism' when played live.

'This record is an encapsulation. The omnipresent fear and
anger. Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Why
Why And what is really going on Consternation...today...
There is difficulty, frustration, strain and a large snake. You
can feel the pressure of it breathing on the streets, in media,
and in your lunch. This s/t, by The C.I.A., is an urgent
musical notice. I feel it immediately. The pointed vocal
cadence and lyrics of Denée Segal is a sharp scythe, and
the actual time is...now.
'I feel the same distress call and disposition from
Crass records like Penis Envy or DIRT. In fact, if you
took that, mixed in 'Black Silk Stocking' by Chrisma and
a touch of early Nic Endo (Atari Teenage Riot) and even
Dinah Cancer (45 Grave) Autopsy era, you can get a feeling.
And, similarly to those mentioned, Denée is putting a time
stamp on this time. The spirit and her viability is strong in
many a corner, and in many a heart. The alarm is ringing.
'This is survival sound, put on record well backed by Ty
Segall and Emmett Kelly, who have added anything-musthappen,
mercurial, constantly moving instrumentation.
The sounds, consistent with unique monochrome, move
like an engine, made gas-tight by piston rings. Sonic rings
moving in tight machine patterns. And at the vocal helm
is Denée, steering this machine in vocal directions across
an exclamation point motorway. No salt, all salt. Traction
and reaction. They built a sound machine with, and for
each other. Survival sound lifts its head up when it needs
to. Thankfully it gets put on record and released when it
needs to.' —Tim Presley

Champagne Dub is a collective of selected artists who come together to practice psychedelic dub rituals.

The project was conceived by drummer and producer Betamax (the comet is coming, Soccer96) who makes a nod to a range of influences through Free-Improv, Psychedelic Post Punk, English Folk, Performance Art and 70s Dub. However the band also draws on the teachings of Zen Buddhist philosophy, to create sound without intention, to capture and dub the natural shape of subconscious intuitions. 

After several explosive live shows, the group headed into the studio where they found themselves deep in the presence of a 1/4' tape machine. The results of which were soaked in biochemically enhanced mix of reverb and analogue effects. This was then distilled into a potent psychoacoustic blend of syncopated hallucinations. Once the vision was truly realised and tested on some animals, it was deemed safe for public consumption and was thus thoroughly impressed onto 12' vinyl.  Champagne Dub will be released into the sonic environment with the spiritual guidance of 'Faith and Industry' records. 

Bass player Ruth Goller (melt yourself down/acoustic ladyland) applies her distinctive sonic boom to the low end of the group. After effortlessly lording through London's many musical pockets, she has discovered a genuinely original approach to the instrument, whilst mastering her technical ability. Punk as fuck and funkier than a pimp truck, Goller pummels pure tones through the dirt with all the rhythmic precision of a washing cycle set to 'silk with rinse'. 

Ed Briggs is a sound artist from brighton who plays homemade synths incorporating mechanical parts from a Herdie Gurdy. He also Programs using MaxMSP where he can perform mind melting sound granulation in real time. Currently well known as the first person to invent 'Laser bagpipes', his creations include a solar flare detector and an antigravity camera. Briggs is a full time DIY inventor and home-science experimenter with a family background in English folk.  

Mr Noodles, the anonymous performance artist/vocalist cuts a dark figure on stage. Noodles uses many voices, shamanic percussion and unpredictable movement, haunting the band with a plethora of dreamy mantras. Once described by an audience member as 'my reoccurring nightmare', Noodles is both vulnerable and dangerous. 

Mexican artist Nahum Mantra's day job normally sees him working for the European space Agency where he works as an artist/magician.  
Once Nahum had mastered the art of Hypnotism at a young age, his career gravitated towards the link between science and art.  

His latest technological sculpture was launched into space in early 2018 and is currently orbiting the planet. Also known as member of 'Orchestra Elastique'- Champagne Dub also sees him feature on his natural instrument the Theremin. 

Betamax (the comet is coming/Soccer96/Superbest friends club/Hot head show) has been playing drums for ages. However after taking mushrooms he realised that there was a deeper layer of rhythm that remained trapped by his ego. An expression so honest, naked and uncultured that it had been withheld by the subconscious. It was a rhythm that couldn't be understood - that always shifted, but always spoke the truth. Sometimes still, other times explosive- Champagne Dub is what is now. Now who are you 

6 tracks EP from a US-Swiss duo called Couteau Latex.

DELUXE VINYL EDITION!!!
This release does exactly what it says on the tin! "Twenty two tunes live from Tokyo" was recorded by punk legends TOY DOLLS at Club Quattro in Tokyo on the 27th of December 1989.

'There's tension running throughout 'New Human,' thanks to basslines trying to elbow their way into occupying one single space. When the Barcelona punk trio lets out a surfy guitar chord at the end of each verse, it feels like a breeze in your face after spending some time in the middle of the pit.'

Aliment is back: after two albums released under La Castanya —Holy Slap (2012) and Silverback (2015)—, the Barcelona-based trio takes a step forward with an exciting third album called Brother. Ten new songs with a post-punk scent where the band explores their most obscure and intense side. Rhythm focused but never giving up their melodic side, their cocktail of influences goes from post-hardcore totems such as Fugazi to the raw sounds of contemporary bands like Protomartyr.

Pol Rodellar, of band Mujeres, on 'Brother' LP:
Aliment is playing tonight and we know exactly what this means. We'll be wearing our jackets with Dirtnap and Goner Records patches and Bad Sports t-shirts. There's gonna be blood and sweat. A few hours left for the show to start but we've already met. We'll be drinking beer so we can sweat it out later until the air in the venue condenses and it starts raining inside. The show begins and something new and strange happens. We were expecting a crushing start with 'Car Crush' —Silverback (La Castanya, 2015)— but instead something darker and denser called 'Dystopia' hits us. Where did those perfect choruses full of 'Uuoo's' and 'Aaaah's' go

All of a sudden, all those pathetic and hackneyed garage clichés sound ridiculous. 'Sweaty rock, beer in hand', 'blood and sweat in the mosh pit'. Fuck that. Aliment is telling us to break all those clichés into pieces because there's no friendship to celebrate anymore, no beers in the air, no friendly nudges. They are building a huge wall on stage that will collapse right over us.

They're out of the garage fantasy. Aliment has gathered tons of pain over the years and now they just can't fake anything while on stage. Aliment show themselves dark and uncomfortable, but in the end it's just a matter of proportion instead of denial. That's the reason why in the midst of all this rawness we can still find flashes of hope, and for 20 seconds they will offer you a truly beautiful power pop chorus that will fade before you can raise your fist. Holy Slap (La Castanya, 2012) and Silverback are still there, hiding, because something blurrier and darker is coming. There's still light left, we've seen it with our own eyes, but for it to be beautiful and genuine it must be subtle, never too obvious.
Recorded in two different sessions at La Atlantida Estudio, Barcelona, Brother (La Castanya, 2018) reveals a band that has consciously forgotten how to make pop music, Marked Men style. Now they flirt with post-punk like Protomartyr, Sievehead, Dïat and Institute ('New Human', 'Sacred Secret') raising to the podium those guitar riffs that threaten to crack everything. We can also see similarities with Parquet Courts ('Maze', 'Black Cross') and with other new formulas based on rhythmic repetition ('Dystopia', 'Snake Bite'). All this combined with ethereal and beautiful instrumental parts ('A Blazing Torch') taken from the Danish school (Vär, Iceage, Lower). Brother is a perfect machine able to break clichés down. And will surely build new ones up.

One of the most notorious concerts in the history of Green Day's career and the '90s era. In true punk spirit Billy Joe Armstrong's first words to the 3-day rain soaked and angry crowd were "'What is this free fucking hippy love shit How are you doing, you rich motherfuckers' They would exit the festival by helicopter but not before Mike Dirnt got a tooth chipped after being tackled by a security guard. It was truly a shitshow but the performance is great and epic and necessary for all '90s alternative and punk fans.

Hot on the heels of Captured Tracks' reissue of Capital Punishment's 1982 album Roadkill, the quartet of Kriss Roebling, Ben Stiller, Peter Zusi, and Peter Swann return with This Is Captial Punishment an EP of new material recorded almost 35 years after the group disbanded. When asked for bonus material for the Roadkill reissue, the original members got back together and did a remake of their track 'Confusion.' A blistering, motorik take on the original, the new version reimagines 'Confusion' as a much louder and sinister track. It was so loved by the label - and the band had so much fun recording it - that they decided to record new material.

With the 'Confusion' remake leading off the EP, Capital Punishment burn through four other tracks that all explore the darker edges of rock 'n' roll. From the strangely sultry 'Drumming Out Time Inside Me' and 'Grey And Illuminate' to the band's favorite 'Hot Love,' Capital Punishment may not be teenage punks anymore, but they certainly haven't lost their edge.

Pressed on translucent blue vinyl, This Is Capital Punishment is limited to 1500 copies worldwide.

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.

- 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!

Busted's fourth album 'Half Way There' finds the trio returning to their hyperactive pop-punk sound for the first time since 2003's all-conquering, multi-Platinum album 'A Present For Everyone'.

James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis approached the project with a simple goal in mind: 'How do we make the ultimate Busted album' They spent a year working on it and the result is a rush of melody and effervescent riffs as they blend huge arena-filling choruses with a classic pop-punk sound.

The album was produced by Gil Norton, the first song to be released is 'Nineties'.
'Nineties' was co-written by Dougie Poynter of McFly and is set to claim its place alongside other Busted favourites such as 'Year 3000' and 'Crashed The Wedding'.

Workin' Man Noise Unit finally return with their new album 'It's Not Nothin', the eagerly awaited follow up to 'Play Loud' which was released in 2015 to great acclaim ...
 
'Play Loud is packed with no-nonsense meat-feast riffs accompanied by a swirling background breeze. 'Yeah, I Was Hypnotized' hints towards a potential knack for Torche-esque poppiness before it audaciously decelerates to a sludgier wallow. That the band's rowdy dual vocals start to remind you of Fugazi, which only sweetens the whole damn deal' (The Quietus)
 
'We must celebrate this most punctual of albums which hits a nerve left abandoned for too long. It's sheer veracity is a blast of fresh air and places itself as a prime piece of rock and roll from these shores. We need bands like this, they show us that it doesn't have to be all humdrum seriousness' (Artrocker)
 
'Reading's own noiseniks, Workin' Man Noise Unit infuse the whole fucking thing with a love of Albini, Jesus Lizard, and Fugazi. They are agitated from start to finish as they pour their entire bodily fluids into new long-player, the aptly titled Play Loud. This is agitated, cathartic rock played at a nihilistic intensity' (Soundblab)
 
'As the band has progressed, they've been edging into an area that is more of the 70's riff-rock vein but dressed up with a larger amount of distortion/noise, kind reminiscent to stuff like Torche, Fu Manchu, Kyuss, and Karp. If that's your cup of tea, then Workin' Man Noise Unit will likely be of interest as they are certainly capable of hanging in there with the more prominent bands of the genre and their mantra of 'play loud' ends up being more than just for show' (Built On A Weak Spot)
 
 
About the band ...
 
Hello. Our crummy band is called WORKIN' MAN NOISE UNIT. Apostrophe, no G. (Yeah, all the good names were taken, OK) From Reading, UK. We are drums, noise, bass, guitar, vocals, sound, energy, bad jokes, the smell of stale beer on sticky floors. Hit a few chords, see how it sounds. Live, tonight, not sold out.
 
WORKIN' MAN NOISE UNIT started in 2010. Since then we've played on stages the size of a postage stamp and smaller than that too. And the back rooms of pubs and clubs and restaurants and record stores and pizza establishments and stinking practice rooms. In arts centres and galleries and warehouses and member-run community spaces. In dank basements, a flat in a shopping centre, an old bank vault, a crypt, a bicycle shop. Etc. Plus a few respectable venues accidentally allowed us in to make a racket along the way too.
 
And we're still doing it because making music with your mates is fucking ace, isn't it
 
It's been a good ride so far. We've heard great music and met great people. Can no longer hold a conversation in a loud room because of screaming tinnitus but it's probably been worth it. Pardon
 
Our new record is called IT'S NOT NOTHIN' and it has 11 songs and it's out on the top notch RIOT SEASON RECORDS. It was recorded, mixed and mastered by Wayne Adams at BearBitesHorse. We reckon he even managed to make us sound half-decent, despite our best efforts. Have a listen to it if you fancy.
 
And then we're getting back in a van loaded full of half-broken amps and weighed down by LPs and it all carries on. Dreaming of hot meals and bladder control. The motorway again. Set lists written on the back of old flyers and wetherspoons receipts. Snyder's hot buffalo wing pretzel pieces, a.k.a. gold medals, washed down with buckfast. And how nice are chips Well nice.
 

Obsession is a solo piano album written and recorded by Kit Grill during 2018.

Snarling Aussie punk from the the western burnout paradise of Perth. Recorded in 1980 and issued on the short-lived White Rider label, 'Last Night' arrived just before The Scientists abandoned their power pop hooks and went on an unhinged swamp-grunge tear. Replicated down to the tiniest detail, The Scientists E.P.has been remastered from the original analog tapes and presented in a heavy weight picture sleeve.

Originally released in 1985, this is the sole album by Tony Cadenas' own THE ABANDONED, the band he formed after the ADOLESCENTS original break up in 1981. Sounding a lot like Tony's original band but with an heavier GERMS' influence, and a more metallic, darker, almost motorhead-esque touch.

As long as Adolescents got back on track, right before releasing their mid 80's comeback masterpiece 'Brats In Battalions' this obscure page of California punk rock history got completely forgot and never reopened until today. A band that really pushed the boundaries for the time while sticking to their roots, something most bands were not able to do. A must for all California Punk Rock maniacs out there!

180dB is not just a band; it's a continuously morphing supergroup built around Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan, the highly-respected rhythm section of post-punk firebrands Savages.

The seeds of their debut single, 'Road Trip' (out September 21, 2018) were first planted when Fay met Goldie at a political rally last year. Goldie played Fay his then-yet-to-be-released collaboration with Skepta, 'Upstart - Road Trip,' and told her he wanted to hear a 'raging punk' version of the tune. Fay rose to the task, enlisting the help of Ayse to help lay down the foundation, Meredith Graves (of Syracuse punks Perfect Pussy) to provide her characteristic show-stopping vocals, and Nick Zinner (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs), to bring his signature razor-wire guitar. The result is not so much a remix as it is a complete overhaul of the original; the music rewritten and Meredith penning her own intense lyrics in place of Skepta's verses. The name was switched from 'Upstart - Road Trip' to just 'Road Trip,' those being the only two words to survive the metamorphosis.  

'Road Trip' lives up to and exceeds its pedigree: a confluence of potent players/performers - each in their own way tightly controlled yet barely contained - delivering an exhilarating blast of visceral invective. Recorded in LA and London, the track was produced by Fay Milton, mixed in London by Neil Comber (MIA, Songhoy Blues) and mastered in New York by Heba Kadry (Björk, Austra). A video for the 'Road Trip' was directed by Fay Milton, shot by Simone Pellegrini, Giorgio Testi, and edited by Luca Previtali. 'Road Trip' is the first track from Fay & Ayse's new project, 180dB, for which they are currently writing a full album with an exciting list of collaborators. More news about the release (expected early 2019) will be made public soon.
