New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New Make a Mess records...Proper Ornaments-messthetics tinged 45 with members of

« on: December 01, 2010, 03:48:42 PM »

(my friend Eric doesn;t do message boards so I am posting this here on his behalf-this record is great!)

San Francisco?s Make A Mess Records has ventured across the pond for its ninth release, the debut 7? single for London?s The Proper Ornaments. On ?Recalling b/w Are You Going Blind??, the English duo offers up two songs of languid drift, rainy day vibes and ethereal pop power.

The band shares members with the current goth-tinged, punk-flecked indie pop sensations Veronica Falls (7?s on No Pain In Pop/Trouble Records/Captured Tracks) and the now defunct Sexy Kids (7? on Slumberland Records). One Ornament spends time on the other side of the aisle, issuing underground missives with the Germs of Youth record label.

?Recalling? rides a motorik pulse into dreamy, dimly lit terrain, simultaneously mannered and damaged, melodies moving back and forth between keyboards, guitars and voices. ?Are You Going Blind?? is sadder and softer, evoking a classic British pop landscape of grey streets, upturned collars and haunting harmonies.


MAM blurb:

Make-A-Mess Records, San Francisco.

From its bedroom headquarters by the ocean in San Francisco, Make-A-Mess Records has searched out some of the most defining bands of today's punk-influenced pop noise, beginning with an LP from local greats the Traditional Fools. Since then, Eric has been releasing the debut records of some of his friends around the City including Traditional Fools, Nodzzz, Brilliant Colors, and Grass Widow. The Make-A-Mess seal of approval has spread as far as L.A.'s White Fence and Brooklyn's Knight School and the Babies (members of Vivian Girls and Woods). The newest release, an instant-classic single from the Proper Ornaments (members of Veronica Falls, Your Twenties, Sexy Kids), hails all the way from Defoe Street, London, England. A new EP from Olympia's giants, Gun Outfit carries on Make-A-Mess' promise of original, irresistibly great vinyl records. Due to be out in early 2011.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new issue of MRR-moondhearts/cocksparrer/Veins/free flexi for subscribers

« on: September 04, 2010, 02:49:51 PM »

This month?s cover feature is an interview with COCK SPARRER ? their first for the magazine in ten years. It was supposed to be conducted by Mr. Bruce Roehrs, in London, but fate got in the way? We also have interviews with French eye-pokin? garage punkers, the IRRITONES, featuring former members of LES HATEPINKS; Australia?s own mutated DIY destruktion, UV RACE, currently on tour in the USA and featuring MRR?s own All Foreign Junker, D X! Then we got multi-countried, feral hardcore from VEINS, who feature former members of DAS OATH and CHARLES BRONSON amongst others; some Finnish bullet-belted HC courtesy of KAKKA-H?T? 77; and Italian masters of the raw crust attack, KONTATTO. We talk to the MOONHEARTS, who truly represent their California backgrounds with a dirty garage atack that is as evocative as a Malibu sunset, or the riptides at San Francisco?s Ocean Beach; then from Sweden we?ve got BEYOND PINK, who plays positive yet raging hardcore. We also have a scene report from France, courtesy of Dr. Alex Ratcharge, and a reflection on the mid-?80s hardcore scene from heshers SAINT VITUS. You know we have the most extensive punk rock review section in newsprint, and the most obnoxious, thoughtful and ridiculous columnists, so what are ya waiting for?

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new issue of MRR!agnostic front, puffy areolas & super wild horses

« on: August 10, 2010, 03:32:32 PM »

MRR #328 has hit the newsstands!  This month we have an interview with Roger and Vinnie of AGNOSTIC FRONT, the last interview by Mr. Bruce Roehrs  (RIP), from his all time favorite hardcore band. The PUFFY AREOLAS are continuing Ohio?s fine tradition of musical mutation, whilst SUPER WILD HORSES from Australia have been described as FLIPPER trying to play the ASSISTANTS, and we have some politically charged, female-fronted new wave from Macedonia courtesy of BERNAYS PROPAGANDA, which features ex-members of FPO. RAPE REVENGE from Canada is a mostly female, mostly power violence band, and DEATHRATS from DC are part of a crew of bands who are making sure hardcore stays harDCore in a most thrilling manner. Boston?s CONVERSIONS  played driving complex punk inflected hardcore with some of the most ferocious female vocals. There are scene reports from New York City, and Brno in the Czech Republic, supposed to be one of the best places to play when touring Europe. We have cover art by Welly of long-running UK zine Artcore, and as always, the most extensive review section in punk, and all your favorite columnists!

*This issue mistakenly got labeled as the October issue when it shoulda been September. Don?t worry, the real October issue will come out as scheduled, and subscribers will get 12 issues this year. We apologize for the confusion.

A revelation awaits you when you read about North America?s first all-female punk band, THE CURSE, from Toronto, Canada.

Get your hardcore mind blown with an epically long interview the mysterious and dark THOU  from New Orleans. This issue is also proud to present an amazing nine page Italian scene report, packed full of info on labels, fanzines and venues, and descriptions of new regional bands and where to hear them! The VENEREANS of Madrid, Spain, give us an interview about their beach punk stylings. We have a long chat with Alex, creator of the killer French zine Ratcharge, inspired by raw, punk, Discharge-influenced music. Midwestern antisocial, bratty hardcore punks, CULO, deliver their musings on punk life. The letters section picks up, a great prisoner column, the usual columnists, and the most comprehensive review section in punk all await you in this issue!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new issue of MRR-the other side of Really Red, Circle Pit, Avi Spivak cover

« on: June 05, 2010, 06:54:33 AM »

The July 2010 issue of Maximum Rocknroll  is here! This month we have some killer cover art courtesy of Avi Spivak of Humanbeing Lawnmower zine? And a delightful selection of content to match, starting off with U-Ron of REALLY RED, who offers a different perspective to the controversial interview with his former band mate John Paul in MRR  #323. Japanese hardcore destruction comes  courtesy of SLANG, alongside the definitive Scottish crust of SEDITION. Australia?s CIRCLE PIT provides some dirty punk, London England?s TRASH KIT brings to mind the post-punk energy of bands like New Age Steppers, Rip Ring and Panic; San Francisco?s HIGH CASTLE plays ragged, noisy, art inflected punk rock, plus we got some East Bay punk weirdness courtesy of STREET EATERS. MARCEL DUCHAMP from Chile plays politically charged and very raging hardcore, but we also got some brutal grind inflected hardcore represented by Florida?s own MEHKAGO  NT, the long running and much loved RANDOM CONFLICT straight outta Alabama, and yet more twisted Midwestern hardcore from Michigan?s BUNNY SKULLS. We got scene reports from Calgary Canada and New Orleans, plus all our usual columnists, and the most comprehensive review section in punk, punk!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New issue of MRR! TY Segall! X (Australia) etc etc

« on: May 10, 2010, 01:05:02 PM »

It?s time for another issue of MRR! Numero 325, the June 2010 issue, features interviews with San Francisco garage punk TY SEGALL, plus we got Hungarian hardcore courtesy of R?KOSI, and heavy noise wildness from Canada?s N? SENSAE. From England we have the WANKYS, who are aiming for a sound closer to CONFUSE or GAI than anything outta their homeland, and we have LOTUS FUCKER, who are also drawing from that Japanese hardcore sound with some added East Coast crust brutality, plus some heavy yet nuanced crust courtesy of MORNE  from Massachusetts, and New York?s POLLUTION adding further mutations to the idea of what hardcore is. Chicago?s DAYLIGHT ROBBERY evoke the darkness of the WIPERS with the best male/female vocal trade offs we?ve heard in a long while. We have classic, genre defining Australian punk with X, just prior to their first ever US tour, some off kilter 1980s Virginian hardcore from TH?INBRED, and the BAD SPORTS demonstrating some early punk influences filtered though a Texan lens. All of this, along with the usual news, columns and the most extensive review section in punk!
