New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / THE CHOOSERS - Hanging up on you 7" - great powerpop from Japan
« on: February 27, 2013, 04:18:29 AM »
THE CHOOSERS - Hanging up on you 7"
They are from Japan, they love Powerpop and the know how to sing / write melodies!!! These three guys are living on the northernmost main island Hokkaido, right in Sapporo City, and they did one firecracker of a single back in 2010 on the Japanese label POP?N?ROLL with two songs, ?Christine? and ?I Can?t Stop?, those 500 copies sold out in a jiffy. We immediately sent out our A&R guys to Japan to persuade them to do a single on Bachelor! And here it is! A classic single with two songs, an uptempo kinda love song called ?Hanging Up On You? and a tearjerker of a flipside called ?In my Dream?!
Think of classic power pop bands like RASPBERRIES, 20/20 and NERVES mixed with the latest Japanese hitmakers like RAYDIOS, TREEBERRYS and GIMMIES! Yes I know, that territory is being explored much these days, but the CHOOSERS really take it to a next level.
Stats: 500 copies housed in a thick glued cardboard sleeve.

REVIEWS:
LO-PIE
http://lo-pie.com/review-indian-wars/
" If you?re not familiar with country-fried Canadian miscreants Indian Wars, they?re pretty damn good. With Songs From The North, Indian Wars have, as I think a lot of bands should, ditched the lo-fi-for-the-sake-of-lo-fi sound of their past releases. While they?ve lost that sort of psych-country distinction, they?re coming well into their own and the album is tighter in production and composition than prior recordings.
Indian Wars are on their way to perfecting the sound of that water-trash country band you happen across in a bar and enjoy despite the drunken regulars dancing around like they?re in a Garth Brooks music video. It?s something that I?m innately drawn to: a distinct and authentic country sound that gives me the visceral satisfaction of knowing that this is what country music is supposed to be. The songs are ones that I?d put on in a drunken stupor and bob my head to (I think that?s what they?re aimed at.)
Songs From The North has a good mix of both the tired twangs of past greats and the welcome introduction of rock and roll riffs, but this band?s potential remains untapped. If I?m honest, as adequate as this album may be, it doesn?t belong on that next level. It doesn?t carry the weight that old Spider Bags releases do. The songwriting isn?t there yet. There?s an enhanced sense of hurt and loss amidst the beer-swill, but it?s still missing something. In this genre, I think it?s very easy to fall into a groove of being ?that country band? playing with other bands. Indian Wars don?t deserve that fate. Songs From The North is sonically sound, but I want more."
RECORD TURNOVER
http://www.kristerbladh.co.uk/blog/?p=1894
"Indian Wars first came to my attention through their affiliation with Dead Ghosts and a brilliant first 45 ?Ghost Letter?. Since then, they have faithfully stayed with Bachelor and now deliver their second longplayer. For a Canadian band, they seem unnaturally attuned to down-South roots music. A few whiffs of country rock and bluegrass flicker by as titles like ?Mississippi?, ?Florida? and ?Pastor Phillips? set the tone of the album. Songs From the North does kind of feel like a trip ?There and Back Again?, as the opening track is called. A musical trip both back over latitudinal lines and back in time. ?Windshield Wiper Blues?, ?Wastin? Time? and ?Already Home? reinforce a travelling theme, while the full-on ?Denny? invariably brings to mind fellow garage/country enthusiasts Denney & the Jets. Although Vancouver is a long way from Nashville, these groups share what is currently quite an unusual mindset. It?s a gritty sound, miles away from The Jayhawks or other staples of modern country rock. It?s no surprise to learn that the entire Indian Wars set was cut in one studio session. I think they shine the brightest on the sparkly second track ?Sweetheart of the North?, where they mix up their sound with some West Coast folk rock (hear it below). Closing track ?Who Needs a Girls Like You? with its lengthy Dylan-circa-?65 jam also impresses."

"YOU CAN?T TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT OF THE BOYS
Written over the course of about six months and recorded in three red-eye sessions by Tanis Gibbons at the Hive, ?eclectic northern longhairs? Indian Wars return with their second album Songs from the North on Austria?s Bachelor Records.
It was released on November 30, and the five-piece has set its sights on a full U.S. tour in late spring. In the time between will come the return of slide guitarist Craig Pettman from a three month stint in Nashville, and a rather sonically appropriate change of jam space locations from the house at 33rd and Cambie, where they penned much of the latest record, to a barn in Ladner.
?We?d drink a lot and recorded pretty much everything live including the vocals,? guitar player Dave McMartin said of their desire to keep the 10-track release loose and honest. ?We wanted it to sound just like we do when we?re hanging out and playing at the house and so we?d avoid the temptation of overdubbing and just keep the mistakes.? Mistakes aside, McMartin is quick to credit his bandmates with solid recorded performances and equal creative efforts, with Pettman and singer-bassist Officer Brad Felotick each contributing songs of their own.
Conceived in new digs or old, with titles like ?Windshield Wiper Blues? and the music behind them, Songs from the North is a distinctly Pacific Northwest spin on the classic ?take the boys out of the country? production. Overall, one could consider their vision for the record a success as the album does play very much like a live Indian Wars show: sincere, steady and with a little wider swing when they?ve been drinking. Keep an eye out for a release show likely to be set for January."
INDECENT EXPOSURE

"I?ve been keeping an ear towards the West in anticipation of Indian Wars? second full-length album Songs From The North. Needless to say the 10-tracks were promptly purchased from their bandcamp page when released on the 30th of November.
Sometimes described as an alt-country band, Indian Wars impressed listeners from coast to coast with their twang influenced keys and guitar on the first LP ? Walk Around The Park. That album got them the recognition enough to open an unforgettable night for Black Lips in Vancouver during the Game 7 Stanley Cup riots. Between the mayhem of broken glass, burning cars and nearly being tear gassed for walking down the wrong streets; friends and I were able make our way through the downtown core and avoid being swallowed into a crowd on the way to this show ? which turned out to be well worth the trip when Indian Wars took stage.
That live presence comes out strong on Songs From The North. Their raucous lyrics and catchy riffs have a certain organic feeling to them that I?ve really grown to enjoy. If you?re looking for a waxed, polished, studio-influenced album, this isn?t for you (though the recording quality is nothing short of sublime). What we have here is a real garage-band release that borrows influence from blues, country and booze throughout ten great songs."
FINEST KISS
http://finestkiss.wordpress.com/tag/indian-wars/
"The cover of Indian Wars? second album Songs from the North features a wooden duck on a bed of wilting parsley set amid some fine silverware. On the back cover there is a photo of a garage with a photo of Dylan on the door and a torch stake with a doll?s dismembered head and foot attached to it. I know why Dylan is on the door, but what does the wooden duck mean and why is there a dismembered baby doll on a torch? Either it is some great symbolism or an inside joke. There isn?t a lame duck among the 10 songs on the record. They are rollicking, familiar, and engaging ?songs from the south sung from a Northerner?s point of view.?
The second album from this Vancouver, British Columbia band sees them pining for the land south of the border. It drips with American place names and sounds. It wants to sail the muddy waters of the Mississippi and wander the deserts high on Mescaline, and walk through swinging doors knock some back and get into brawls. And it does all of that! Songs from the North improves on Indian Wars debut with better songs, better fidelity and more even pacing. Indian Wars walk the walk and talk the talk, even if the walk and talk are ones you may have heard before. It?s a worthwhile record whether you are floating down the Mississippi, lost in the desert or just in your local bar."
