Couple new releases out. Sorry State, Grave Mistake, Make Them Sweat, Vinyl Conflict, All day and Ebullition should have copies in USA anyday.



MUS108 WOOLF - Posing/ Improvising MLP

It's been four years since Woolf unleashed their debut album, The Right Way to Play also on La Vida Es Un Mus and described as a ?pungent spit on the face of musical normality?. Now they're back with a dystopian revision of feminist queer punk. Born out of South London's squats and social centres, all but erased in recent years by the Tory government, the four-piece have produced an album conveying alienation and activist fury, the opening track ?Civilisation? setting the tone with the (rhetorical) question ?is this what they call civilisation??.  Wall of sound guitar distortion provides a backdrop for a commanding, minimalist bass and insistent drums, with vocals that straddle the line between anxiety and paganity. It?s 11 unsettling songs in 11 uncompromising minutes, recalling the experimentation of no wave bands such as UT distorted by a raw punk aesthetic.  (Melissa Steiner)

The black & white sleeve has been designed by singer Colette including an insert with song lyrics as well as a download code.

MUS107 ORDEN MUNDIAL - El Nuevo Sonido Balear 7"
Tour EP originally released in time for the ORDEN MUNDIAL November 2015 USA/Canada mini tour. Three new songs following ORDEN MUNDIAL'S template of high energy hardcore with insanely huge punk riffs, a massive rhythm section and angry, to the point vocals.  Two hardcore bangers on the A side and a massive stomper on the flip which proves yet again that there is much more in the Balearic Islands than Ibiza and soft techno.

Regular press with pocket sleeve and printed labels.

Music Shit / Re: Hardcore 2015

Whoa, the SANG ep is fuckin great.

https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/m-n-oblidat-7

I assume it's somebody from UBI since it's in catalan and it rules, but that may be incorrect. The off-time riff on "hem perdut la vida" is nasty.

No one from UBI. The singer is catalan but she lives in Trento. The rest of the band is Italian. They killed it at SSW on Thursday.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / MUS105 LA MISMA - Kanizadi LP Out Now
« on: September 25, 2015, 06:54:05 AM »
LA MISMA LP is out. USA residents please wait for the Toxic State Press which should follow shortly.



MUS105 LA MISMA - Kanizadi LP
After just one 7" and a handful of demos NYC's La Misma release their debut LP 'Kanizadi' on La Vida Es un Mus in Europe and Toxic State in the USA. The title track 'Kanizadi' kicks off the LP with a Crisis esque riff before heading deep into a world of fury, energy and UK82 pogo punk. Their sound is built on driving drums, bass that has depth and bounce, harsh yet catchy guitar work and intense vocals that are spat out in Portuguese. It sits somewhere between the fury of To?ibabe and the punkier side of As Mercen?rias or Nixe, classic early 80's Italian singles by Kandeggina Gang or Jo Squillo and a demo found in the Riot City archive. 'Kanizadi' is surely another vital piece in the puzzle of NYC punk in 2015.

The LP comes housed in a 350 Gram sleeve with an A2 poster and 28 page booklet designed by La Misma's vocalist Nay Vieira-Rosario.

MUS103 L.O.T.I.O.N. - Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence LP
'Digital Control and Man's Obsolescence' is the debut album from New York's L.O.T.I.O.N. Following two demo cassettes that in no way represented the intensity of their live show, L.O.T.I.O.N have finally recorded as a full band. If you've never seen the band, they described themselves as NITZER EBB meets G.I.S.M.  but on this LP the sound influences go beyond adding METAL URBAIN, early SPK and THE PRODIGY as influences. Lotion's aesthetic and lyrics are beyond mundane bringing to the forefront the insane world we live in and dealing militantly with the absolute paranoia control of our pre programmed existence.

The LP comes housed in a heavy stock sleeve with a Japanese style obi strip. Gigantic poster and a lyric sheet that could double as a field manual for guerilla warfare. All design work was carefully put together by singer Alexander Heir and drummer Emil Bosgnar Nasdor.

USA customers please buy it from Toxic State.

CLASS-011 HARD SKIN - The One That Got Away / The Bovver Boys Don't Bother Anymore 7"

Hard Skin are back with more fucking anthems  - two to be precise because the 7" single was made for two classic tracks - one on each side. No more no less. 'The One That Got Away' is a hard hitting Oi! anthem about Psycho Dave and his firm and what what happens when the weak grass. The flip 'The Bovver Boys Don't Bother Anymore' is about the passion, soul and heart that Oi! provided many but how the weak have fallen by the wayside. Skinhead until death - know what I mean?

Just repressed the first and last DISCLOSE LPs. More info at http://www.lavidaesunmus.com



MUS101 DISCLOSE - Tragedy LP
180 Gram record housed in a paste on board sleeve. Indiscriminate cruelty to common people: the slogan could be about war or it could be about your eardrums while listening to 'Tragedy.' Disclose's first LP is a landmark of cacophonous, guitar-forward noisy hardcore. Heavily influenced by classic 80s Swedish raw punk, these fifteen songs perfect the unrelenting formula as only Kawakami could. Originally released in Japan on the cult label Overthrow in 1994, this reissue restores the fierce original mix two decades later. It differs from the mix on later represses hailing from Uppsala, where Swedish bombshelter-dwellers keep the flame alive. This authorized reissue reproduces the original artwork, with insert. Crack your brain up!

There is a limited press on green vinyl for mailorder only.



MUS96 DISCLOSE - Yesterday's Fairytale, Tomorrow's Nightmare LP
180 Gram record housed in a paste on board sleeve. Layer upon layer of noise and distortion, like ashes of nuclear apocalypse raining down. The final LP Disclose released, in 2004, captured the band at a high point. When other d-beat raw punk bands were running low on ideas, Kawakami reinvented the sound, incorporating more metallic influences like Broken Bones while still sticking assiduously close to the template. Originally released for Disclose's tour of the US west coast, 'Yesterday's Fairytale, Tomorrow's Nightmare' includes ten tracks and closes with a rampaging masterpiece, the 10-minute 'Wardead,' which exists on another astral plane from generic Discharge copyists. This authorized reissue reproduces the original artwork and includes a new insert with liner notes by Stuart Schrader.

There is a limited press on red vinyl for mailorder only.

MUS98 SQUATS - Noise Overdose 7" & MUS99 VULTURES - S/T 7" Out now

Two new releases out this week. SQUATS and VULTURES 7", both ultra rare Dutch Punk reissues. I am a sucker for this type of stuff  and I am super happy to finally have both out. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

For those waiting on DISCLOSE represses just letting you know that we have the vinyl and are waiting on sleeves. Those may take a while but I am pretty sure the wait will be worth it. DISCLOSE reissues will probably be the last releases until the end of the summer as I am taking a little break from the label, but I already have some killer stuff lined up for the fall.




MUS99 VULTURES - S/T 7"
Official reissue of another of the scarcest Dutch punk records that was listed in the top 25 European punk rarities in Record Collector. THE VULTURES hailed from Epe, in the middle of the Dutch Bible-Belt. They recorded this 4 Track EP in 1981 that overtime has became impossible to find. Which is a shame as it is simply a masterpiece of Dutch Punk. Loud, proud and snotty, the sound is based around a trademark chainsaw guitar tone, plodding bass, passionate vocals and overall a clear UK influence. Without doubt if this band was english they would have been on Riot City, Rot or Secret Records or seen supporting the MAU MAUS, THE EXPLOITED or both DISORDER's (Bristol and North East). Reissued replicating the artwork as originally printed but adding a few unseen full colour pictures on the reverse sleeve.

There is a limited to 100 press on purple vinyl for mailorder only.



MUS98 THE SQUATS - Noise Overdose 7"
Official reissue of one of the scarcest Dutch punk records. Hailing from Nijmegen Squats were popular from simply being a bunch of punks which loved to fuck shit up. Raised on a steady diet of SHAM 69 and COCKNEY REJECTS which they covered on their demo tape it is a mystery what happened to them before recording their 'Noise Overdose', in my eyes simply a perfect teenage inept punk record. The five tracks within this EP are catchy, aggressive and exemplifies perfectly how the second wave of punk had spread everywhere by 1981 and the influence of what we now call UK82 was really present. Reissue maintaining the original design of the artwork except for the size which made most original copies in circulation in poor condition due to its oversize nature

There is a limited to 100 press on green vinyl for mailorder only.

Made it to 100 releases.DAWN OF HUMANS LP is out on Toxic State so USA people buy from them. NO MLP doesn't have USA press. Also, RIXE 7" is back in stock.



MUS100 DAWN OF HUMANS - Slurping At The Cosmos Spine LP
La Vida Es Un Mus reaches it's 100th release with the debut album from New York's DAWN OF HUMANS, opening a door into an unexplored world below the Brooklyn sewers. 'Slurping at the Cosmos Spine' is a chaotic, creepy and unhinged album that takes the mutant sound of UNITED MUTATION and mixes it with the basic, hypnotic and relentless rhythms of THE RONDOS / Early EX. It actually sounds like a RUDIMENTARY PENI 7" played at the wrong speed. This is music for freaks that is wild and abandoned in parts and then locked in and claustrophobic in others. While DAWN OF HUMANS is surely a band to experience live due to their ever changing stage performance 'Slurping at the Cosmos Spine' manages to shine the psychotic genious-ness of the band thru the grooves of this  record.

Graphic wise the LP comes housed in a two colour 350 reverse board sleeve. Including a 11"x22" lyric insert and 33"x11" poster with art by Emil Bognar Nasdor, Sam Ryser, Mateo Cartagena and Eugene Terry.

The album has been released simultaneously by Toxic State in USA and LVEUM en Europe where the band will embark in a 5 week tour starting May 1st. Mailorder copies come in blue vinyl.



MUS102 NO - Treating People Like They Don't Exist LP
London's NO finally unleash their third vinyl offering. 8 songs in barely 13 minutes. Ferocious dissonant hardcore focused in intensity and all-out rage. Non stop hardcore showing the band at their peak. References to Midwest USA hardcore are often used to describe NO but while not completely off the mark they are just one of the many points of reference for this rather complicated band. NO are another living proof of how great the current UK hardcore crop is.

The album comes in a full colour sleeve designed by the greatest Ralph Simmonds and including a heavy weight 11"x11" lyric insert.

Mailorder copies in clear red.

Listen/ Download them here



MUS93 RIXE - Coups Et Blessures 7"
'Coups Et Blessures' is the debut 7" EP from new Paris Oi! band RIXE. The four track EP harks back to the glory years of Bologna's finest NABAT mixed with the classic 80's French Oi! sound via RAS or L'INFANTERIE SAUVAGE and a heavy  BLITZ vibe. The sound is rough, direct and angry and driven by a distorted bass and a vocalist that chews on glass for fun. Like the now defunct CRIMINAL DAMAGE, newbies Pittsburgh's NO TIME and Brest's SYNDROME 81, RIXE are the new voice of a Generation.



MUS94 BARCELONA - Extremo Nihilismo En Barcelona MLP
Extremo Nihilismo En Barcelona is the sound of a slow cooking bomb. The 8 tracks of anxious hardcore contained within this 45 RPM 12" are pretty much what it says on the tin. Extreme, Nihilist and utterly Barcelonian. The sound of the eternal frustration with your surroundings. The soundtrack of falling out with everyone around you. Musically filled with a solid yet counter intuitive rhythm section, insanely violent riffs and the angriest and the most credible female vocalist since FIRMEZA 10 stopped playing. The barely 11 minutes of music contained on this 12" rate amongst the most claustrophobic hardcore sound I've ever heard.

The package of the record was taken care by Oriol Roca (one of the greatest artists alive in my humble opinion and incidentally the drummer of BARCELONA) which reflects the vibe of the record flawlessly adding yet another layer of meaning to the whole project.

This is the last mail out of the year. Sorry for punishing you for the last 12 months with monthly releases. I hope I didn't bore you and I surely hope you got something out of this. 2014 was a rather crazy year for the label. In too many ways. I managed to release 14 records on LVEUM and a few other on sublabels.

I also tried to run a distribution company wholesaling some friends releases at the same time that running the day to day retail distro. So as you can see I may have spread myself a bit too thin so I hope that you understood it if I made mistakes that affected you. At the end of the day it is just one person running this monster.

2015 is around the corner and I already have what I think is a lot of great releases for next year so please keep tuned if you like what I do. If not, please feel free to delete yourself from the mailing list.

Enough looking back. Time to look forward. There are some plans to finally upgrade the webstore as it is way too out of date it seems. I also gave up and joined twitter so if you want to be the first to hear whenever anything new comes to the distro feel free to follow me @LAVIDAESUNMUS

Not much left to say. Check the new releases in bandcamp and support PRAG on their European tour January 2015 also if you live in USA go check ORDEN MUNDIAL Live. Dates at the end of the email.

That's it for now.

Peace

MUS92 PRAG - S/T 7"
Perh punks PRAG unleashed 4 tracks of unhinged mutant hardcore. The nasty sounds of this EP are a hybrid of Finnish Hardcore circa 1982, Japanese low production flexis from the ADK days and Spanish heavy hitting hardcore. All blended with a healthy DISORDER vibe and a rat sounding GERMS style vocalist. All in all a damaging piece of pogo inducing hardcore-punk with a teeth cutting guitar tone, a wall of reverb and an urgent beat. File next to GLAM, DESTINO FINAL, CRAZY SPIRIT or SEXUAL.

The EP comes housed in a reverse board pocket sleeve with a hard card insert, both designed by Brvce Kallem which manages to match perfectly music and graphics on this release.

Split Release with No Patience Records from Australia.
Limited Clear green vinyl for mailorder.

PRAG are embarking on a month long European tour starting January 2nd. Check the dates below and go and check this sick lot out live.



MUS91 HANK WOOD AND THE HAMMERHEADS - S/T 7"
La Vida Es Un Mus reissued the debut 2011 7" from HANK WOOD AND THE HAMMERHEADS to coincide with their month long European tour. These three songs are insanely catchy, keyboard-drenched, punk stompers fronted by a sephardic miscreant known only by the mysterious handle of Hank Wood. This record possesses such snarky, yet dangerous attitude. Lead track 'Shoulda Listen (To Mommah)' is a dirty garage dirge that's part 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS, part CRAMPS and part THE DOORS.

Hand stamped sleeve and labels. A pain in the ass to assemble. Picture taken near the MUS HQ in Hackney.

I also have a bunch of HANK WOOD tour leftover merch in the shape of scarfs, tshirts and pendants. Check the distro for them.



MUS89 CIUDAD LINEAL - El Nuevo Hombre LP
Barcelona's CIUDAD LINEAL finally deliver the follow up to their fantastic demo from 2013.  A full length album of dark minimal wave heavily influenced by EL AVIADOR DRO Y SUS OBREROS ESPECIALIZADOS, THE NORMAL or CABARET VOLTAIRE.  Armed with a bass guitar, drum pad, a keyboard and two synths CIUDAD LINEAL manage to create a conceptual piece around the idea of progress and industry as opossing forces. El Nuevo Hombre is divided in two parts each one comprising one side of the album. The A side being "The Splendor" and the B side "The Fall" joined by a speech symbolizing Mankind's awakening. The album throws shades of JOY DIVISION, DECIMA VICTIMA or even THE RESIDENTS leaving behind absolute hits like the freezing cold opening track "Horizonte" or "Industria" which to these ears is the closest anyone has ever came to be part of the LOS INICIADOS/FRACCION DEL EJERCITO ROJO/ AVIADOR family.  While CIUDAD LINEAL sound is certainly rooted in the early 80's synth explosion the band remains fresh due to their lyric approach as well as their DIY ethos.

The LP was recorded at La Cova De la Bestia by Daniel Muerte and comes housed in a beautifully put together sleeve and insert designed by the band and printed on heavy 350 gsm reverse board.

MUS79 NEO PUNKZ - Fascist Fuckerz 7"
Back in 1980, punk was all about nihilism and not giving a fuck. Young punks got themselves guitars and drums and started their own band. So did a bunch of them who hailed from Haarlem, the exact same place Jesus and the Gospelfuckers came from. They recorded 5 songs that sounded snotty and raw. Obviously they did not care a lot about good musicianship and quality recordings and that might be exactly why this is such a great record. Snottyness that sounds natural and not as ' wanna be'  as a lot of bands these days. This is an essential record for people who like their punk raw and vicious.

Comes with 8 page booklet including the never before printed lyrics as well as lots of never before used pictures of this young punkz.

Review by Jos Houtveen



MUS80 SUSPENSE - Murder with the Axe 7"
I remember getting a letter from one of the DISORDER members who asked me to re-record him the SUSPENSE ep, because the song ' Crazy Sod'  got cut off before it ended. As a lot of punk bands, the NEO PUNKZ were influenced a lot by DISCHARGE (and not only musically) and in comparisation to the first ep, they sped up and had a distinct UK82 in sound (as well as their appearance). The subtitle of this record is; ' the end of the NEO PUNKZ , this is SUSPENSE'. They replaced one of the guitar players, recorded 3 fast songs and one longer and much slower one.

Again, this is one of the milestones in Dutch punk history and boy, don't they look good in studs and leather. Essential.

MUS81 CRISIS - Kollectiv 2LP
For the first time ever, the three Crisis singles are officially re-released on Vinyl along with demos from 77 and 78 and a simply stunning sounding live set from Norway in 1979.  The debut 7" from 1978 on Action Group Records, 'No Town Hall'  features three stonewall punk classics. The next two singles 'UK79' and 'Alienation' make up the four tracks recorded for a John Peel Session in 1978. The lyrics are a product of the time against a backdrop of street fights with the National Front, violence at gigs, institutional racism within the police force, class division, industrial strife, sexual repression? Upon reflection not much has really changed in the last 35 years! Also included are demo tracks from 1977 and 1978 which are raw and basic punk just as you would expect. They have never been officially released on vinyl before. Sides Three and Four features a live set recorded when Crisis played Norway in 1979 which features all of the material that later turned up on ?Hymns Of Faith?. The sound quality of the recording is so good it would pass as a studio recording.

The record comes housed in a tip on heavyweight sleeve with detailed liner notes, reviews, interviews, and a few unseen group photos. The sleeve picture taken in Kiev in 2012 couldn't be more relevant, capturing the Zeitgeist - which was part of what Punk was all about in the first place.

Mailorder copies come on Red vinyl.

Two new releases out today. If you need anything contact me at paco AT lavidaesunmus DOT com



MUS74 FLESH WORLD - S/T MLP

On their debut MLP, San Francisco, CA?s Flesh World plays ice-soaked punk rock led by dark and infectious guitar flourishes and a just-under-the-surface pop sensibility that makes each song an immediate stand out track. Featuring band members who are all veterans of the DIY punk scene ? from bands including Limp Wrist, Brilliant Colors, Needles, and more ? Flesh World brings influences from a host of punk sub-genres together, calling to mind the tense moodiness of classic British post punk, the sneer of the 1977 school, and just a hint of C86 flourish and feedback. Most importantly, this MLP includes six hopelessly catchy songs that will work their way into your skull like an infection without a cure.

The album comes in a full color sleeve designed by guitarist Jess Scott including a double sided poster with doubles as lyric sheet.

MUS78 ARCHAIC - Noise In Your Head 7"

ARCHAIC is a new project based between Berlin, Venice and Barcelona. This debut three track EP is a rusted nail of intense hardcore with industrial undertones which sits somewhere between FOGNA and DESTINO FINAL but with a bigger production. Guitar layers of repetition create a bed of noise when the delay infected vocals lay painfully.  Someone called it the NWOIH and I won't be the one saying that isn't the case.

There is a limited version on clear orange vinyl for mailorder.

MUS69 HOAX - Caged B/W Sick Punk 7"

Released in time for their February / March European tour HOAX grace us with a new two song single. Both tracks are hard moshing anthems with a nasty destructive sound. Distorted to the max and with a blown out of control guitar this double A side single is a bass heavy yet catchy and memorable hardcore piece of rage.
The sleeve art designed by Heather Benjamin reflects perfectly the vibe on this release. Claustrophobic hardcore for non fitting punks.

PRICE ?4 PLUS POSTAGE

MUS58 GLAM - Veneno en sus Flechas MLP

Two and a half years on from their debut 6 track EP, Barcelona's GLAM return with a 9 track mini album. It's a crushing assault on the ears and mind. The recording is a perfect mixture of clarity and rawness. The growling distorted bass drives the sound on top of relentless drumming and fuzzed out and feedback drenched guitar work that's part classic japanese hardcore and part 'Ungobernable Force' era CONFLICT. GLAM are noisy, chaotic and explosive and each track rages with anger and intensity.

 "Veneno en sus Flechas" comes housed in a sleeve designed by Oriol Roca Sanchez. One of the last genious left in this planet.

PRICE GBP 8.00 PLUS POSTAGE

MUS64 ISTERISMO - Folia Verso L?interno MLP

Belonging to the generation of Japanese kids that started bands in the early 2000s inspired by the legends of Japanese 1990s hardcore punk such as Gloom, Disclose, CFDL and Frig?ra, Isterismo is today one of the most important contemporary Japanese hardcore punk bands and one that continues to firmly put Japan at the very top of the worlds hardcore punk scenes. As always, Isterismo remain at the forefront of the contemporary Japanese raw noise hardcore scene along with peers Zyanose and D-Clone. Isterismo?s unique blend of noise is no doubt indebted to the older statesmen Gloom who lead Japan?s 1990s raw noise crasher scene mixed with a healthy fascination for classics of Italian hardcore, notably the loud message of ?chaos non musica? from Italian anarchists Wretched. In 2012, Isterismo is no longer the young upstarts of Tokyo hardcore punk scene that they were once coming up, but after a number of important records and regular gigs at home as well as abroad, today Isterismo is an established, hardened and mature band. The timing of the new Isterismo record, a 12? mini LP co-released by La Vida Es Un Mus and Crust War, is absolutely perfect.
 
In what will surely be remembered as their defining record, Folia Verso L?interno starts with the longest and slowest song of the record which like the calm before the storm builds up for the sounds of the nuclear destruction that follows. Spanning the best part of ten minutes, split by five tracks on each side of the record, consisting of minute long bursts of violent, chaotic and disordered eruptions of anguish, anger and pure unadulterated loudness!
 
Sound production of this new record is absolutely great! Despite the thick wall of Isterismo?s violent, chaotic and above all loud assault on all the senses, every instrument can perfectly be heard in the mix! While this may be the loudest Isterismo record so far?and likely one of the loudest records ever?it's paradoxically Isterismo?s most accessible record to date. Above all, it is with this new release that Isterismo come into their own sound and style, making all cheap references to other bands entirely redundant.

The one word that best describes this recording is not noise, as many may expect, but finesse. You will hear finesse in the expert guitar play, with subtle solos and riffage hidden in the high distortion and messy chaos, drum rolls are complex while the bass guitar is crisp and loud. For sure, this is the most important Japanese hardcore punk LP since the Kriegsh?g LP.
