Pop Punk / New Alicja Trout Interview
« on: October 29, 2010, 02:38:04 PM »
Alicja rules, and we all love her. So read her interview. It's good. She explains some of the shit about the new Alicja Pop 7" she put out and how it came about (Something crazy about people "feeding" off the suns rays). Pretty DAMN interesting!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: Wheels on Fire's new 4 track 7-inch + Euro Tour Dates! - TURK 002
« on: October 21, 2010, 11:44:38 PM »
Less than 10 COLOR copies of the 7" left.
Buy now if you want one.
www.kindturkeyrecords.com
Also, will be getting some copies of Liar Liar in a couple of weeks. Will let you know when I get them. They too will go fast. Can do a deal of 19 for both the 7" and the LP postage paid.
Here's some more press for the Cherry Bomb EP:
"If you told me, after hearing just these three tracks, that Wheels On Fire were on their way to a higher stake holding in the indie world, I wouldn?t be able to disagree on any grounds."
- The Gumshoe Grove
"...this 7 inch is so eclectic for just 4 songs it's ridiculous that they pull it off...really, really well. Impressed by the goofy lyrics and catchy guitar riffs, I might even go as far to say I find it charming. To put it simply: This 7" is really damn fun. Check it out."
- TasteRCRD
"The EP is right on par with the rest of their work, it?s playful, slightly poppy and hard to find fault with."
- Indie Blog Shot
"New 7" from this Athens, Ohio band and it's a garage-infused power pop ripper... everything is built around killer, jangly guitar riffs and awesome vocals. There are elements here of 60s garage, 70s power pop and good old fashioned '77 punk like the Heartbreakers... just 4 killer songs that you'll be humming all week."
- Sorry State Records
"...this latest offering is a bull-strong 11 minutes of lo-fi garage-pop chock-full of backslapping back beats and sneering-yet-endearing vocal sass. That is, I mean to say, it?s kinda sorta as if The Spits and King Khan got together and punched out a two-armed, two-legged dandy. Ohio sound? Sounds great!!"
- Hi-Fi Hangover
"?Black Wave? is an addictive primitive power-pop number. ?Broken Up? has a sweet touch of organ and a flow that should put to shame whatever the hell is mainstream ?pop rock? of today. ?Cherry Bomb? is slower and bluesier. Good tune. ?Go Give Yer Love? is even slower, but serves a solid closer to this fabulous 7""
- Kids Like You & Me
"These tunes are catchy, infectious, and filled to the brim with great melodies, great guitar work, and big hooks. I?m a sucker for lo-fi production as well, so it doesn?t hurt that that vocals are distorted and the whole affair has that reel-to-reel sound. Dual vocals give the songs an edgy, pissed off sound. Did I describe it enough? Are you interested yet? This shit rules."

Black Lips / Re: Black Lips to star in Film
« on: October 14, 2010, 12:04:09 PM »I'm fairly certain SOMEONE cares about the Black Lips circa 2010. They're not having too much trouble selling out venues. And even if they're "done" in five years.. thats pretty much a better run than a majority of blank generation/termbo endorsed bands not named Reatard.amen.

"I?m feeling a little jealous of Athens, Ohio at the moment. Even since I received this snarling, strutting rock ?n roll gem from Kind Turkey Records, I haven?t been able to quit daydreaming about how rad it would be to hear the Athens-based Wheels On Fire rattle the floor boards at the Union in Athens. Channeling the tried and true rock ?n roll chops of The Kinks and Rolling Stones, this four-piece carve-out some fiery, tumbling lo-fi rockers that would pair beautifully with a shot-glass of pure swagger. You can (and should!) buy their hand-numbered 7″ from Kind Turkey Records (first 100 are purple, and then the rest are black)."

"Once the needle hit the grooves of this brand new 7-inch from Athens, Ohio group Wheels On Fire, I was immediately hooked. These dudes play this really innocent sounding ? what I would call ? sincere garage pop rock ? that can only be made by stoner guys on a hot summer day after listening to their dad?s Elvis Costello records.
The guitar, along with all the other instrumentation, is stripped down and has touches of surf and that twanginess from early Strokes songs and the vocals sound wonderfully strained like a lovelorn young man in a rock band should sound.
The songs really move along quite nicely (none go over the 3:30 mark) and there?s an omni-present vintage rock touch throughout the ep, especially in the lead guitar work on ?Broken Up.? The opening track, ?Black Wave,? is a chill rocker that would fit right in to a beach party?s sound track. The title-track is a pretty awesome mini-epic about loving a girl and the last track, ?Go Give Yer Love Away,? features lots of hand clapping, which always sounds cool when done right and in this case, it is.
But, back to the sincere part I mentioned, that?s because this handful of tunes (4 in total) are dramatically simple in structure, but so good to listen to and almost genius. The only ?flourishes? here are the very minimal keyboard parts and the punkish Beach Boys-esque harmonizing. This extended play is as lo-fi as it can get, the insert even said that all tracks were recorded in a basement and I feel that more albums should be made this way.
Overall this is a happy, sometimes somber record, which is nothing new stylistically, but is different and refreshing enough to recommend to friends that are always looking to hear some new music and its just too enjoyable to ignore.
This world is too full of over-produced recordings and it?s good to know that there?ll always be groups like Wheels On Fire that will crank out lo-fi pop rock gems such as this one."

"Athens is synonymous with the dawn of modern Western civilisation, democracy, and the home of philosophy, not mention some pretty spectacular architecture, such as the Pantheon. Well now Wheels On Fire can be added to the list, only this time the bragging rights go to Athens, Ohio.
Having previously released work through a number of labels, including Rosa Records, and Fat Possum/Big Legal Mess the band have released their new mini-EP ?Cherry Bomb? via Kind Turkey Records. The first 100 vinyl copies of the EP are on purple vinyl; what?s more the art is screen-prints and all copies are hand numbered. Fancy!
The tracks are sharp, and have angular qualities with an air of costal influences that combine to create a brand of garage-pop that permeates through the mass of indie band no-mans land, to carve out a slot that is completely theirs."

Review by Styrofoam Drone - You can sample songs on the post too:
http://styrofoamdrone.com/2010/09/27/wheels-on-fire-the-cherry-bomb-ep/
"...Before I went away for the weekend, I stocked up my mp3 player with some righteous new tunes to listen to and check out to keep me blog-busy, and I think what stood out most was a 7″ from Anthens, Ohio natives WHEELS ON FIRE. It?s smart, honest, and guitar driven poppy garage rock that?s about as addicting as music comes these days. I just ordered the 7″ when I got home so I can spin it over and over again. I suggest you do the same! The 7″ comes with four songs clocking in at just under 12 minutes long, and each track includes a memorable hook or catchy lyrics that?s bound to keep you coming back for more. Whether it?s the catchy guitar hook at the end of ?Cherry Bomb?, or the witty break up lyrics in ?Broken Up?, this band is bound to turn heads with their infectious take on the sometimes psych-ish, sometimes bluesy guitar-driven garage rock" - Styrofoam Drone
