DENNIS - The Enthusiast

The debut of Melbourne punk rockers DENNIS  featuring members of Homeless illuminati BITS OF SHIT and Aarght Records WHIPPER (who also featured Nic Imfield of TYRANNAMEN and Lewis Hodgson of CIVIC / CUNTZ).

Songs are short, shards of your fave scratched 45's. Sounds swiped from the Saints, X, Germs... You witnessed Bits of Shit. You own the Whipper 45.

"four local gents from such esteemed high-grade/low-rent rock & roll units of yore as THE SAILORS and BITS OF SHIT. They're now a little older and perhaps no wiser, but they've made a really great album in the process. You'd have to be a smokin' joker not to hear the distinct GERMS influence in their music and Darby inflections in the vocals - but that is not a bad thing! Throw in some early SAINTS, ADOLESCENTS and Born Innocent-era REDD KROSS and you're orbiting the DENNIS universe." - Round and Round Records

"first wave nods to The Saints, Germs, and raw and ragged tales of The Stooges, though perhaps the most modern connection seems to be from Timmy Vulgar’s camp. There’s more than a bit of his acid gargle in the vocals here. There’s a snottiness to the record that’s surely on par with The Dead Boys, though the approach is much harsher — DENNIS boasts less swagger than even those degenerates and proudly so. This is a scum dredged vision of punk, just as it should be, soaked and sodden and wrung dry over the tape machine until all the bile was documented and decoded." - Raven Sings The Blues

WILFUL BOYS - Life Lessons

Brooklyn, NY's THE WILFUL BOYS follow up to Rough As Guts, of which New Bomb Turks Eric Davidson stated "For the few mining the post-pig fuck sound of mid-’90s Amphetamine Reptile Records (and there are some), few make the brutal redux swing like this newbie Brooklyn bunch."

"The tunes thrash and shred and get a bit too noodle-y before going back to straightforward rock’n’roll. All that seemingly messiness sounds kind of nice with the lights turned down and your head on the floor." - Carolyn Keddy, MRR

"it's noisy and although quotes from reviews had me expecting a more Aussie flavoured dish, I'm picking up similarities in sound to Stevenage band Bad Breeding. Maybe I should wash my ears out? Anyway, it's good stuff. This is my favourite so far by them." - Just Some Punk Songs

“The perfect modern companion to the Cosmic Psychos and Easy Action Records that helped countless young men grow chest hair in the ’90s.” – Matt K, Yellow Green Red

Crap news. RIP Peter.
Never met but dug his label and only spun Fait Accompli a few days ago.
So sorry for his family's loss.

BEND SINISTER - Tape2 LP
Release date: 15th December, 2017

South Seattle in the mid-1990s was an industrial wasteland. On Airport Way, there was a large "diesel" sign with the last three letters burned out, leaving giant 10 feet tall red letters that said "DIE". This was the birthing grounds of Bend Sinister, a crucial step in the evolution of A FRAMES and INTELLIGENCE.
Erin Sullivan (guitar/vocals), Min Yee (bass), and Josh Turgeon (guitar) had previously tried out the names Impatiens and The Bends, playing their brand of obsessive, noise-drenched punk in some of Seattle's most notorious dive bars and clubs. In 1997, they joined up with drummer Steve Kaplan and mutated into BEND SINISTER, after a song by The Fall, a key influence.
Bonded by a love of black humor and scuzzy, dirgy, hypnotic, aggressive, punk, garage, and noise, Bend Sinister drew from a range of musical influences: The Scientists, The Fall, Stick Men With Ray Guns, Cows, Touch & Go, Halo of Flies, Pussy Galore, Scratch Acid, feedtime, X (Australia), Country Teasers, Electric Eels, The Who, The Damned, Crime, and obscure 60's garage.
They performed as a four piece for their first few shows, but then Josh left the band after a year and Bend Sinister was a trio for the next few years. Steve moved to LA after the first tour and was replaced by Lars Finberg.
When Josh returned toward the end of 1998, the band began to experiment with modes of all-out noise assaults ("Antibody"), and hyper charged punk adrenaline ("Radiation").
During this era, Bend Sinister earned a reputation as an insanely loud live band even by the standards of the Seattle punk scene. A couple gigs ended abruptly when club owners shut off the electricity and booted them from the venue.
Eventually, Josh left the band at the end of their second tour in 1999. Erin, Min and Lars changed the band name to A FRAMES and began focusing on a specific strain of art damaged punk that defined their sound over the next decade.
The only official recordings Bend Sinister left behind were two 7" singles (Spork Records, Vague Vinyl) and a self-released CD-R. For the first time, 'Tape2' presents this era of Bend Sinister - the last year before the name change, with Lars on drums, and some tracks are the 4-piece with Josh on guitar, some as just the trio.

Available for preorder here - shipping very soon:

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS - Big Attraction / Giddy Up 12"
Release date: 15th December, 2017

Homeless returns to its roots - BITS OF SHIT's Oz Punk classic Cut Sleeves - with AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS (Oz 70s-style punk-rock, think Coloured Balls / X-Ray Spex).

"Straddling the line between raucous 70s glam punk and the primitive pub rock riffs of Rose Tattoo" - 50THIRDAND3RD

"Amyl and the Sniffers are a garage punk band who sing about biffs, blowjobs and Chiko rolls. They're proudly sporting shitty tatts and they named their band after a seedy drug that provides a brief, intense euphoria, followed by a brutal headache - which may or may not be a metaphor. With the mullets, the aggression and the unflinching embrace of Australiana, Amyl and the Sniffers have been likened to the sharpie subculture of the '70s - a pre-punk movement that was birthed in Melbourne and characterised by "sharp" outfits and that quintessential Aussie larrikin attitude. The soundtrack to this era was Australian boogie: bands like Skyhooks, The Coloured Balls and AC/DC. Amy says she and the boys are definitely influenced by that '70s Aussie rock, but lyrically, she's also intrigued by the storytelling of country singers like Dolly Parton; she likes the cheek of a Southern woman in the 1960s singing about cheating on her husband." - THE FAT ANGEL

Colour vinyl and regular edition available for preorder here - shipping very soon:

**************

MEN WITH CHIPS 'Attention Spent' LP
On their shoulders or accompanying fish? Both scenarios theoretically apply to this Aussie trio, sounding right at home on Homeless. Attention Spent doesn't require much (45 rpm, over in a dash) and 'twould appear our MEN have spans in line with that thinking (despite a few well-placed moments of patience). Songs throb and stab, each seeming uneasy in a Riley-era FALL way, that classic panic conveyance mode we all love and fear. Fans of artful and tough grill-fat splat could (and have, no doubt) done far worse. A creepy, rough tickle.
- Mitch Cardwell (MRR #406)

"Kid" indeed.

I seem to recall you didn't come to the footy that day. A little windy with a chance of rain and nope, Old Kyle wanted to stay indoors and in doing so, missed one of the most controversial incidents of our game for the decade. You deserved the abuse.

How about Examplehead or Foot and Mouth, Scrod? B-side was such an incredible source.

As the "kid" who took over the mail-order mantle (from Matty Whittle of God/Foot and Mouth) in '94, it was my job to put those catalogues together and mail 'em out around the world. I wonder if you were still receiving then and yeah, I imagine orders did take many months to arrive. Quite often I had to wait for one last piece of the order puzzle before I could ship and man, sometimes that in itself took months.

Were the Christmas crackers of the edible or the pull-apart kind? The staff back then was more than likely Glenn Terry (now at Vicious Sloth Collectibles), David Laing (of Dogmeat Records) and Bruce Milne. Probably Matty Whittle too.

Anyone here actually work or own one of these stores in question. Feel like I'm just arguing with people who are speaking for others and who are maybe making a lot of assumptions.

I own a new store in Melbourne - we had a great, fun day. Our opening party in January was more stressful.

We dealt in very few RSD exclusives, only the stuff I was interested in myself (Blood Visions, S.V., Radio Birdman, Shaggs 7").
No line at opening, with freshly baked muffins and tea/coffee provided.
I was caught off guard by the number of people that came through, short-staffed in fact. We didn't make any huge deal about the day - the two bands I wanted fell through a week out, due to someone being away in one band and The Dacios siblings had to be in Hobart for their mother's 70th birthday. Instead we had a BBQ from 11am in our outdoor courtyard and drank beers until 9pm.
At times it was like an Au-go-go reunion, with myself and other old staff from the '90s making an appearance.
RSD felt like people just wanted to hang out, catch up with old friends, have a drink, listen to some great music, buy a record or two, leave half drunk at 2pm...

Sold a ton of local releases - always fantastic when people support local bands & labels.
The Destroy All Art comp also flew out. Bring on volume 2.

CLEVER - Kewdi Udi LP
Release date: 11th March

"Brisbane noisy nihilists Clever burst out of the gutter a couple years ago, wiping the floor with blood-and-sweat-stained alacrity. They started littering stages in 2014, after I had left, and I quickly lined them up to last year's Sonic Masala Fest - an amazing set, one of my favourites across the two festivals thus far. Their visceral gurning and flailing felt brutal and new, at least in these parts - aside from the dour disintegration of Kitchen?s Floor and gnashed madness of Sewers, this is the kind of sound more accustomed to the diseased denizens of Melbourne mainstays like Cuntz, Mutton and others that spill from the feedtime wellspring. But it shouldn't be a surprise that such arced anarchy was born out of the melding of dark-matter minds from members Per Purpose, Psy Ants and The Wrong Man. And now they have locked horns with Homeless for their first LP, Kewdi Udi. First cut 'Your Eyesore's Sweat' may not be the deepest, but it is infected with acrid angularity and fevered spit." - SONIC MASALA

« on: December 02, 2015, 06:11:07 PM »
Not a great year for getting to shows - old and too much on the plate.

Greg Cartwright (solo) Labour In Vain, March - a one minute walk from home, lengthy set
Bits of Shit - Bar Open (April) - just when we thought they were done, having not played since Jan '14, they pull out a secret show with a few days notice - with NEW SONGS!!
Asteroid B-612 - Factory Floor (April) - one of Australia's greatest ever duel guitar attacks, Stewart Cunningham and Johnny Casino, bury the hatchet after 20 years to play a benefit for their departed mate Scott "Grogan" Barker and fucking nail it.
http://www.beat.com.au/music/2011/04/5/asteroid-b-612/asteroid-b-612-john-spittles-who
Clever - Underdog (June) - ballsy punk meets Lizard from Brisbane. Usurpers to the Shitters crown.
https://www.facebook.com/cleverbrisbane/videos/385625824958549/
Spray Paint - Australian tour, June - favourite shows: Brisbane Hotel, Hobart - The Loft, Warrnambool - Curtin Hotel, Melb
favourite supports: Living Eyes (everywhere), feedtime (Factory Floor) and all the rest, could pretty much name every one of them but these guys raised the bar early on in the tour...
Exhaustion - Old Bar (June) - mind blowingly brilliant, mesmerising. 2/3rd's of S.P. would agree. George missed it.
The Dacios - Old Bar (Nov) - see Bits of Shit (above)

Will Goat with King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard meet these performances at tonight's show? I doubt it.
