New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / KIDNAPPERS - Will Protect You LP/CD out on ALIEN SNATCH!

« on: January 14, 2011, 02:10:29 PM »

THE KIDNAPPERS
Will Protect You LP/CD
(SNATCH!055)
79 allover! right from the reeperbahn the infamous KIDNAPPERS return home and put Germany back on the punk map with their new album "Will Protect You". And as their former two albums this can be equally considered as essential. Yes, the KIDNAPPERS divide the ocean and deliver an album of powerpop pearls in their own upfront manner. To catch up, the KIDNAPPERS are a three-piece of twin-brothers Philipp (gt,vc) and Chris (gt,vc) and Netzhemd-Timo on drums and record cover. The KIDNAPPERS started in their early teens as the HIGHSCHOOL ROCKERS some highly acclaimed 45s and with quitting school just changed names into the KIDNAPPERS. After the stunning debut "Ransom Notes and Telephone Calls" they got hijacked onto legendary RIP OFF RECORDS with the "Neon Signs" album. All KIDNAPPERS records received raving reviews and they found their spot between hot dogs and their 90s heros TEENGENERATE, LOLI & THE CHONES and classic STIFF RECORDS sound. If its dutch it would be HOT POCKETS. Come on, it would be blatantly wrong to tell that there is same formula for the new album. It's ten originals recorded in Chris kitchen during the winter - it ain't LoFi! This is the loud on-the-spot punk-power pop album for a long while. The Hamburg boys hail the flag for a sound which seemed to be forgotten the last years. We talk about KING LOUIE, GENTLEMEN JESSE, KING TUFF here (Be sure having ALIEN SNATCH! records catalog - we cherry pickin? bands for that). What better album title than go for the the last song on the album - "Will Protect You"! It's a record to be filed next power pop one hit wonders, a perfect dose of NICK LOWE inspired pop songwriting and utter respect for the CHEAP TRICK knack and the DICTATORS guitar riffage. They sing are about girls, girlfriends and whores. Now they quit their jobs to go on tour. Check out them out - the twins still look the same. There is a limited 100 color vinyl mailorder only edition in clear red vinyl.



LIVE!: After a decade of music they will have their first ever US appearance at SXSW 2011 with one-time Alyse (HEX DISPENSERS, MANIKIN) on drums.  Get in touch if you interested to book them for a US Tour in late 2011.

Order: Colored Copies still available worldwide shipping incl.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / WHEELS ON FIRE - Liar, Liar LP/CD out now (lim.100 color vinyl available)

« on: September 12, 2010, 05:55:43 AM »

WHEELS ON FIRE
Liar, Liar LP/CD
(SNATCH!054)
Welcome to the Land of the Haunted Houses! The WHEELS ON FIRE are a young & gritty four piece hailing from Athens, Ohio and we're excited to exclusively present their new full length album Liar, Liar on CD/LP. The quartet plays garage-y-keyboard driven power pop/rocknroll grown up in Time Bomb High school. Mix the GREG OBLIVIAN's latest output with the modern pop edge of Swedish LOST PATROL BAND or CAESARS (for adults: put ELVIS COSTELLO or electrified 60?s sunshine in here) and you get what you need for the summer or the long wait for the next summer. It?s the Midwest where you can listen to the best records, develop a magic antennae for great songwriting and still take it easy sing about UFOs and deliver the soundtrack for any beach blow-out. Two guitars, no bass, a feverish beat and girl on the keys. Yep! Well crafted songwriting full of hooks and a great vocals - check! The WHEELS ON FIRE have records on FAT POSSUM/BIG LEGAL MESS and lately a 7" Single of lovely TROUBLE IN MIND RECORDS. They look back on three US tours and two European tours and still sneak out and move under the radar from the opinion making media machines. Which is fine with us so we can present this solid gold recordings plus we can tell that they put down a kicking live show with duel vocals, fuzzy organ and blistering guitars. The album has twelve originals and comes in unbelievable full color artwork by our friends at Moustache Gracias with printed inner sleeve. There is a limited 100 color vinyl mail order only edition in clear red vinyl. WHEELS ON FIRE just finished an extended US tour in June 2010 - look out for the band to tour Europe throughout October 2010. Fun guaranteed.

VERMILLION SANDS  "s/t" LP/CD
YOUR FLESH MAG AUGUST 2010 While all the new bullshit rock and roll bands mine the ?garage? quarry it?s pleasant to witness Vermillion Sands standing near the lip of it, whipping rocks at whoever comes into sight. Subverting the genre you?ll inevitably be lumped in with is not a new idea but it?s certainly one that isn?t utilized enough. This becomes even more of a coup when the genre you?ll be lumped in with is bloated with same-y sounding bands which are as half-baked as their catalogs. Immediately, VS is gripping but not in an aggressive way. They are weird, genuinely weird, spooky sounding Joe Meek-ish outcasts who likely did very poorly in their respective physical education programs. Androgynous vocals slide all over the place and do something that nobody in garage has really thought about yet?they compliment the music. Speaking of, this band has chops and not in the obnoxious power pop way, but in a way that reminds one of the Troggs or Kevin Ayers. ?Wake Me When I Die? woozily delivers right on time and although the vocals are pretty much potatoes as far as the flavor goes, they sure are filling. Look out Dwyer, these kids may have the best of the early OCS stuff down better than you ever did.(Alan Price)

« on: March 16, 2009, 06:20:49 AM »

That are seven steps to enlighten many people. I never did pre-order in 10 years of record business. Announce a record when you have it for sale. That is much more thrilling in my book. It is just boring to wait on stuff.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / HENRY FIATS OPEN SORE "MONDO BLOTTO" LP out now

« on: March 28, 2008, 07:48:07 AM »

HENRY FIATS OPEN SORE
?Mondo Blotto"  LP

Stockholm. The sky turns black - the living Swedish conspiracy loudmouths HENRY FIAT..S OPEN SORE got released! The world order is shattered by the fact that, once more,  four more morons claim to have the almighty clue of saving the world. The proletariats nonsense and boredom sleep cells form one-man riots in the street. Residents constantly pick-up passed out demonstrators in the gutter. The swedish police and city officials still have no imagination about the seismic shift in their youth's habit.
"Mondo Blotto" is driving insane Vikings and inka tribes, the re-occupied Stasi commando bunker party PROLETKULT REC proudly offer you the vinyl documentary. It has 20 killing shortcuts of rocknroll redemption along the path. The HFOS are around for a decade now and continue to be the origin of any punk and hardcore identity crisis. The forces have deadly units to prepare future soldiers for day x. We have countless ground troops, and we have the mother ship of chaos - HENRY FIATS OPEN SORE! Not that they are above everything else - Sir Henry Fiat (vc), Don Wanna (dr), Frank E.Male (gt), Instead Of A Hug (bs) are first class f?hrers and notorious elitists. Some think Sweden is SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, HELLACOPTERS or HIVES but they..re wrong ? HFOS rule the streets and just in time shot out another 20 songs full of musical and moral superiority. The songs turn out to be the most addictive and catchiest of their discography and is their unique staccato hardcore punk drenched with early US-punk and some dashes of the late DWARVES. They have various side projects, so any HFOS release is a moment of hyperctive idiotica captured by the infamous recording studio of Frank E. Male. Below are the song titles - you get what you read. The HFOS live appearance is in line with the circumstances: masked with human leather and mummified with tar-soaked grandma cotton long johns.They rob gas stations with dobermans. They hand out budweiser six packs to our youngest. The cure caries with coals. They seed confusion and harvest guidance.
We have 110 copies in coloured vinyl for all die-hards, commando bunker - mail orders only. 180g vinyl for everyone. Go see the HFOS on their battle of the bands tour with DEAN DIRG in Italy, one of the few bands who somehow don..t look as total jerks entering the same stage - and the second round during ROCKFEST in Norway with the GHETTO WAYS!  They have testimonials on KEN ROCK, RAW DELUXE, RNR BLITZKRIEG, WRENCH and many others. They..re supposed to tour the US in late 2008. Death to False Mongos!

Songs:

I Rock
The Knuckledraggin Neanderthal In Me
Quality Time With Dad
Keep Your Unit Trim
Ask Me (I know everything)
Faster Phil Spector Kill Kill
Fake ID
3rd Finger
No Empathy

Non-Music Shit / Re: KNOW CRAP! Mail Order

« on: November 10, 2006, 04:20:09 AM »

I know he´s a good guy and believe  me I know how much work this is people like us do in his spare time.
I wait on a finalisation of a trade since April and would appreciate talking to him in person thru phone or skype. I´m not angry, just want to move on.
Whoever speak to him please say him hi.

I still wait on a finalisation of a shipment. This is taking way too long. Somehow I don´t get a reply even when I answer on his own mailings. Can someone send me a PM with his phone number? Would appreciate it.

Music Shit / Re: The Equals

« on: October 11, 2006, 05:55:49 AM »

Those LPs are allover Germany. Since it´s cheap I got quite Equals LPs, single and of course "best of" compilations. The artwork has always a goofy bubblegum style. We also get different french pressings here. Fun!
