Hiroshima Rocks Around HRA 666 LP (Lo Fi) $13 NEW
If you would have tossed this name at me a month or so ago, I would have had no idea what you were talking about and probably wouldn't have explored any further. Ah but I got tipped to this by an Italian that I trust and I am glad he tipped, for here you don't judge the band by the name. Experimental punk that sounds contemporary while digging deep into 80s heroes such as Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Mission of Burma, and Butthole Surfers. HRA reminds me of Crash Normal in their unpredictability and how they weave in a number of influences and make it work. Limited to 666 copies. Italian pressing. (Hint: Start with side B).
Valley of Ashes Cavehill Hunters Attrition 3LP (Black Velvet Fuckare) $30 NEW
A long psychedelic journey into free form experimentation that sounds like it was made by a bunch of punkeroos fresh off a bongload or two dozen (but really are members of Sapat, Margick Markers, Raw Thug, & Kark). Atmospheric and abrasive at the same time. Aggressive and noisy yet also content to gently drift. Brings to mind Amon Duul and like stoners. Definitely a lot of listening here and worth the effort. And I am pretty sure I saw something crawl out of the grooves last time I played this.
Sic Alps Semi Streets 7" (Skulltones) $5 NEW
More primo drone thud punk psych from these Frisco freaks. A loud mess of a great thing and only 360 of them exist. Dusted sez ""Semi Streets" dishes out coarse, distorted chord-pop moan under the duress of four dirty studio tracks; yet surprisingly concerned with sonics to the point that the distortion on the guitar sounds as if Sic Alps own the patent." Oneof the handful of bands that is making Frisco an exciting music town once again.
Der Teenage Panzerkorps Harmful Emotions LP (Siltbreeze) $12 NEW
Der Klang Der Klunk Der GRRRRRR. If you were lucky enough to score the limited ed. 7" I had of TPK a year or so ago, you know you want this pup and I will tell you a secret: This is better than the seven. Loud semi-experimental dumb-smart punk with a primitive krautrock edge to it. Perfect for cleaning the snot out of your brain. Nothing high minded here though you know there is a bit of thinkin' behind the thud. Splendid stuff in a very limited vinyl release.
Car Commercials Jar 7" (Leaf Leaf) $5 NEW
Debut by two New Jersey lads (one of them Daniel from Home Blitz) is four songs of DIY oddness, stuff that bounces between catchy songs and abstract strangeness. `tis very much captures the late 70s vibe of UK DIY innovators such as File Under Pop and the Prats. "Do you get joy outta knowing there's kids half you age that are as fucked up as you? Then, mister...jump on this today!" says Tony Rettman. Don't know the pressing size but it is bound to be small.
Dan Melchior und Das Menace 7" (Daggerman) $5 NEW
Very cool rock & roll from long-timer Dan Melchior. Like lots of Dan's music, the form is pretty straight forward – blues influenced garage punk – but immediately things morph enough to set the tunes apart from everyone else. It is the kind of personal twist that Ben W. gives the Teasers that makes the Teasers sound like the Teasers, while still holding on to their roots.. Well, Dan Melchior sounds Dan Melchior doing rock & roll. Three songs strong and a hit in one of `em (Hippy). Terminal Boredom says, "Great record, and as much as I loved his work with the Broke Revue, this stuff just sounds so much more rewarding."
Los Blankitos - You Make Me Drool EP (Discos Changos) $5
New York City punk rock and what that means here is the A side has two good garage punk songs and the B side has a killer. In fact, I advise you to pick this up for the B side which is a great combo of primitive riffery and smart stupidity. I am very keen on the Los Blankitos “hammer it til it is dead” approach to songwriting. 300 pressed.
The Bad Trips - s/t LP (Rocketship) $13
For those of you experiencing Monoshock/Liquorball withdrawls and are needing a Grdy Runyan fix, well, just call me Mr Pusherman, because I have a record for you. In 2005, Grady and some of his Ventura pals got together and jammed on some psychedelic groovers, recording the noise on a 2 track tape. The Bad Trips turn out 5 drugged out instro fucks, all anchored by Grady’s evil curl of a guitar, which is both truly evil and sounds like notes curl out of it, notes that attack you and will drive you MAD! True to their name, The Bad Trips sound like one of those bands in the acid scene of a psychspoitaion film BUT WAY BETTER. If First Priority doesn’t knock you socks purple, you have no hope in this world. 500 pressed on 180 gram vinyl in a nifty silk screened sleeve.

Just listened to the Der TPK album today and it's more consistent than that 7" or the CDr. Really great shit.

This sounds amazing. I'm all about the multi-record sets. Setting aside a whole afternoon to fully digest a release can be really relaxing. I need to scrape some money together to get this...plus the TPK LP, Sic Alps 7", Car Commercials 7".
S-s is gonna keep me in a financial hole...at least I'll have good record to listen to though.
