Plates are the newest punk rock sensations to come out of Buffalo NY. They have inherited the crown that the Baseball Furies left back in 2000 when they moved to Chicago. And they have been killing it. The new Buffalo Music scene has been spearheaded by these guys. Great angst driven punk rock n roll.

BN084 - Mean Jeans/HOLLYWOOD - Split EP "Mark" EP -
SOLD OUT second pressing soon
500 black vinyl
Mean Jeans, HOLLYWOOD - says it all-More!
Mean Jeans out of Portland Oregon team up with HOLLYWOOD from Baltimore to destroy rock n roll in one AWESOME EP!
Mean Jeans from Dirtnap Records and their critically acclaimed "Are You Serious" LP, were heading down to Gonerfest and asked if HOLLYWOOD from Big Neck Records who just released their "Stunts" LP, wanted to tour up and down the U.S. to the show with them. Why you ask? Because when HOLLYWOOD first began one of the Mean Jeans was an original member? Who you ask? You will have to figure it out.
But, for the tour they wanted a special EP to sell to the throngs and Big Neck was approached.
Mean Jeans recorded a pure rock n roll tune a la the Ramones whereas HOLLYWOOD with new members has been perfecting their sound and recorded a masterpiece of drug infused rock. (Let's Go Before I Blow My) Brains Out was recorded by Qross at Red Lantern Studios in Portland. HOLLYWOOD's addition was recorded by their old guitarist at Developing Nations in Baltimore. Two different studios, two different sounds, one amazing record.
Price: $5.00
BN080 - HOLLYWOOD "Stunts" CD/LP -
Sample tunes:
http://soundcloud.com/user2866573/sets/hollywood-stunts250 White Vinyl
Crushing Hook Driven Garage Rock from B-More!
On their debut studio album, Stunts, HOLLYWOOD (Spelled with Caps) ? the band, from Baltimore ? the city? have balanced the blown out sound of their first singles (compiled on 2009?s Hits! An All Time Low that was released on Big Neck Records) with 12 newly spit shined punk rock ?n? roll tunes. After former guitarist Christian Death moved across the country to start The Mean Jeans, the former trio expanded into a five piece. While no members were hurt during the recording of Stunts, the sounds captured could bare the warning: KIDS, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Over budget and plagued by delays, Stunts took after it?s namesake, producing minor injuries, and calling in trained professionals. Recorded by Cat Freeland at Beat Babies Studios, and mixed and mastered by Jim Diamond at his famous Ghetto Recorders: responsible for modern classics from The Dirtbombs, Andre Williams, The Ponys, Compulsive Gamblers, Bantom Rooster , and The Clone Defects to name but a few.
Stunts perspective listener is advised to proceed with safety goggles and flame retardant pantaloons: ?(Scary) Cemetery? opens the album in the key of demonic blues punk dirge, complete with fuzzy strings, exploding reverb, and a boogie-woogie- man, chorus. ?Fire & Grits? is one-half hillbilly and one-half punk, in the spirit of The Cramps, with added cowbell and a breakdown inspired from Juicy Jay?s ?Fiyayaya Weed.? ?Doctors Note? deploys a glam-rock-waltz set to the tune of a day in bed after a night of cough syrup, while ?Toe-to-Toe? momentary gets you back on your feet with a cave stomp ode to fighting and fornication; buzzsaw guitars? Check. Hippy percussion? Check. Songs about cleavage put to Macgyver-esque ends on ?Treasure Chest?, an angry eunuch on ?Hater (by Nature)?, and a Nazi film industry on ?Sieg Hollywood? keep their tongues planted firmly in cheek, but are captured here with the primal ardor that hold tur to the bands wildly unhinged live act.

BN083 - White Whale "Widow's Peak" EP -
Sample tunes:
http://soundcloud.com/user2866573/01-widows-peak-30-sec100 Red Vinyl - Sold Out (swag club)
400 Black Vinyl
?Guitar rock three-piece made up of members of Buffalo hardcore heroes Everything Falls Apart. No core here though, it's driving punk rock that almost sounds like Marked Men with a heavier and less pop-punk delivery. The hooks are there, but with a darker and more angsty tone. Reminds me a little of the more emotive guitar dynamics of the RFTC/Hot Snakes crew as well. Forceful vox and guitar, recorded with a slight bit of fuzz to give it that needed edge. Both A-Side tracks are tough hits and "1995" on the flip is recommended listening as well. Western NY has a lot going on these days, and the Whale are elbowing their way to the front of the DIY pack with this impressive debut and some high energy live sets.? ? Terminalboredom.com
Price: $5.00
BN081 - Fatal Figures "Blue Zed" EP -
Sample tunes:
http://soundcloud.com/user2866573/blue-zed-30-secThe Fatal Figures are made up of Aaron, Tracy, and Scott from the Blowtops. The Blowtops decided to end a decade long reign of garage punk rock history in Buffalo NY a couple years ago playing their last show at Big Neck Record's "Pain in the Big Neck" fest. Creepy Dave gave up rock n roll for family and a career, but the rest of the band hand a new idea, a new notion, a new sound that they wanted to follow.
The Fatal Figures have a long history of Rock n Roll playing in many bands throughout the years: The Blowtops, The Backstabbers, Concubine Forming, Suck, and the Headknockers. Deciding to move away from the garage rock horror sound the Fatal Figures embraced more of a punk rock n roll sound in the vein of Pussy Galore.
2 great songs, Blue Zed and Alright, the last a Pussy Galore cover.
Aaron Adduci is a hypnotizing front man, singing, and swaggering around the stage like a drunken Jon Spencer, while Tracy Volker keeps pulling sounds and rhythms from her bass that we have never heard before, and Scott Collins keeps pounding the hell out of his kit. The Fatal Figures are a force to be reckoned with live.
Price: $5.00
BN079 - Red Red Red "New Action" -
Sample tunes:
http://soundcloud.com/user2866573/new-action-30-sec http://soundcloud.com/user2866573/negative-reaction-30-secRyan Sabatis was the drummer for the Piranha's but decided to break away and start his own band Red Red Red, which he fronted by playing guitar and singing. Red Red Red's first record, "Mind Destroyer" was released on Big Neck Records years ago to much acclaim and shattered the college charts for a short time. It was a crazed mess of guitar driven rock n roll, intermixed with crazy solos, and wicked hooks. Red Red Red took a break for a couple years, but Ryan ever restless decided to reform Red Red Red into a whole band, new members, new image, and new songs.
Red Red Red's second record, "New Action" kicks it off straight away with the first song "New Action" and that says it all, new action, new beginnings, new ideas. Ryan is slapping us in the face with an even crazier sound than the first record, songs that are written better, hooks that are catchier, solos that are unreal, and words that are all new. 10 songs of fury, rage, punk, angst, rebellion. It's all here. Everything that a band should want in a record, everything that a band should want to be.
Price: LP $12.00 CD $10.00
