MUSK- Animal Husbandry 7"

While some bands are content to drag their knuckles Musk have theirs firmly planted in the ground leaving trenches in their wake as they lumber through the wasteland. Here at Total Punk misanthropy is praised but Musk might have finally unseated ACTION SWINGERS as Total Punk's misanthrope of the month. Two tracks of swamp sludge skronk and their first release since adding fellow Total Punk Jim Veil (FNU CLONE) to the fold insuring maximum guitar fuckery.  Brutal music for Chuds and  floor lickers. 100% TOTAL PUNK!!!! 

first 50 copies are hand stamped in my blood.

CURLEYS- S/T 7"

CURLEYS cut THE out of their name so it would be bigger on flyers, CURLEYS will call you out if you don't watch their set, CURLEYS laugh at all of their own jokes... loudly. Urinals gone hardcore, Wimpy era Queers on speed. On their debut 7" these Gainesville cretins blast out six tracks of chainlink-guitar hyperactive punk. Frenzied, feverish, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!

LIMITED TO 300 COPIES

Andy Human & THE REPTOIDS- Psychic Sidekick LP
Oakland seems to be lousy with post-punk bands these days, but Andy Human & The Reptoids bring a certain uniqueness to the field. Their influences are more in the range of weird, art-punk dancey bands like Red Krayola than the somberness of New Order. Electronic beeps and boops add to the sci-fi vibe the band is striving for (their genre of choice is “reptoid rock”). Vocalist Andy Human brings a brash, glam vibe, his vocal delivery similar to Marc Bolan’s. Between the psychedelic guitar and melodic choruses, this trio would not seem out of place in Australia’s robust, oddball DIY scene, where proto-punk and post-punk often rub elbows. My favorite track, “You Like Your Job,” is minimal and on the darker side, buzzing along to a turbulent, discomforting end. “Happiness is a good career,” Human sings, with mock matter-of-factness. For the chorus he repeats “You like your job” with differing affectations, in turn expressing jubilance and pure disbelief.- Bandcamp

"Mind Meld is a new offshoot (or mutation?) of the Total Punk / Florida’s Dying family of record production, and what better way to christen a label than with Timmy Vulgar’s newest thing? This man is a living slop-rock legend, with a discography so wide and vast (from cult-faves Clone Defects to Human Eye and beyond) and surely full of gems yet to be discovered by this writer. I check in with his newest material when I can (maybe once a year?), and while I was enjoying the foray Timmy’s Organism was taking into boot-stomping glam-punk, Timmy Vulgar’s Genetic Armageddon pursues a headier trip, as the title might’ve led you to believe. Is this Vulgar’s krautrock moment? His normal assortment of ostentatious guitar sludge, toad-mouthed vocals and red-raw percussion are intact, but he utilizes them in a manner similar to Faust or Brainticket here, drifting through psychedelic alleyways with eyes peeled open from a good trip verging on the bad. Fifteen different tracks are named, but it all flows like two different mind-bending excursions to the bottom of the titular swamp, moving through locked-in jams and trippy sound experiments with ease and purpose. Prior to hearing this one, I would’ve assumed song-shaped rock tunes were Vulgar’s area of expertise, but this out-rock hodgepodge is a particularly dapper fit."- YellowGreenRed

Andy Human & THE REPTOIDS- Psychic Sidekick LP

"Oakland squirm punks Andy Human & The Reptoids are back with another long player and it’s charging through the hallways ripping down your Duran Duran posters and spray-painting DEVO all over the walls. Human (nee Jordan) has been mining the nerd curdle of the ‘80s for some time now, though Psychic Sidekick might be his most complete vision yet. While they’re a bit more constrained than similar t-zone dropouts like Ausmuteants, Timmy Vulgar, or Hierophants – the band doesn’t scrape the glue-soaked freak centers as often as others – they still know how to inject a good dose of plastic shrapnel into their brand of punk. When they’re at their best they’re echoing high quality discomfort warriors like Twinkeyz and Simply Saucer for next gen of back row miscreants and the new LP rounds up quite a lot of their best.

Guitars thrash, a haze of ionospheric synth static rains down, and Jordan’s nasal vocal puncture is exactly what’s called for to keep the insomniac punks running ‘til dawn. This time ‘round they run their tongues over ten tales railing against mind melt of mundanity like it’s a mission statement. The band liquifies the banal cabal surrounding them in their heat vision hooks – jittering and hopping through tracks with freakish glee. If you’ve been stuck and stranded, at loss for a dose of quasar chaos to get you through the day, then I’d heartily recommend at least one daily dose of Reptoids in yer life." - Raven Sings The Blues

"Punk is a unique art-form, in that you pretty much only get worse at it as you go along. Can you think of any punk groups who released their finest work ten years into their career? And yet, Andy Human contradicts this theorem with the last few years of his music, proving that in some rare cases, people can get better at punk. I’m referring to Andy Human’s recent work with The Reptoids: the 2017 single on Total Punk and, in particular, this new full-length. He struts out his punk with a real laissez faire attitude on this one, as though he’s the type of guy who steps on a steaming pile of dog waste on the sidewalk and merely shrugs, not even bothering to find a curb to scrape it on. He shares that attitude with classic groups like Vox Pop and Jet Bronx & The Forbidden, and he shares their sonic template too, one of casual slacker-punk from an era before slackers were a codified thing. With decades’ worth of music history at his disposal, Human borrows liberally from anything that works, like punchy post-punk (“You Like Your Job”), saloon-style piano, the sweltering DIY skank of early Scritti Politti, Iggy Pop’s haircuts from 1979 through 1986, maybe even some of the more offbeat hardcore-related sounds emanating from Southern California circa 1984. Human makes it all work naturally, in what very well might be his finest musical achievement to date. Which, if my calculations are correct, means his next album will be even better."- YellowGreenRed

HEAVY METAL- Too Oz 4 .I.T. 7"

"The ingenious Heavy Metal are without a doubt one of the punkest bands in Europe at the moment, so it’s only fair they were given some airtime on one of the finest purveyors of the craft, Total Punk. Unlike many Total Punk artists, who seem to be in competition with each other to release the shortest 7″ singles possible, Heavy Metal contribute four tunes here, a meaty EP’s worth of their acerbic punk tantrums. At any given moment, it seems as though half of the instruments being performed are fully synthetic in nature, which lends Heavy Metal their own unique luster – the bass could be a four-stringed Fender blasting out of a crusty amp, or merely the lowest keys on a child’s Casio run through effects – who knows for sure? It’s a great sound, and Heavy Metal make excellent use of it here, writing songs that are 75% repetitive hook, 25% attitude. I’ve found myself singing along to “Overtime”, and I don’t even know the words! The vocal delivery reminds me more than a little of Ed Schrader this time around, which is particularly effective on “Gasmask Factory II”, a putrid strut that verges on the mean-spirited electro-sass of Virgin Mega Whore. Or maybe some sort of crime-ridden collaboration between Le Shok and FNU Ronnies? No matter how you slice it, Too OZ 4 I.T. is one of the more essential Total Punks in recent memory."- YellowGreenRed

I'll have copies coming to the US mid to late February. Should be between $22-$24

Are these still en route?
Yes. I thought they were going to be included in the package with the new Sleeper and Snake LPS, but they will be in the next package from Anti-Fade so I should have sometime this month
