TUNNEL of LOVE
"Rockin' Rollin' Bitches" L.P.
http://www.myspace.com/tunneloflove666Our first release, and the inspiration behind this label, is a reissue of the single greatest punk album of the 2000's, Tunnel of Love's "Rockin' Rollin' Bitches." Two different labels have released this on compact disc, but this is the first time this album will ever be available on vinyl. Equal parts Guitar Wolf (the noise & fury, man!), early Flamin' Groovies (the pinnacle of trad rock'n'roll in a post '55 world), and the Electric Eels & Slayer (for pure fucked-upedness and extreme Satanism), this 14 track LP clocks in at a modest 25 minutes, yet delivers more devastating music than most bands' entire discographies. Tunnel of Love never practice, but every now and then they assemble in public, decked out in black and white striped tights and black cape! s, ripping apart punk clubs and leaving audiences stunned. This is truly the most bad-ass rock'n'roll band on earth. You can either get down or you can get out of their way.

VEX RUFFIN and the LO-FI JERKHEADS
4 Track E.P.
http://www.myspace.com/vexruffinOur second release is the debut from Chino, CA's Vex Ruffin and the lo-fi Jerkheads. This four track 7" e.p. is going to be the most talked about 45 in every scene around the world focused on crazed music, from underground hip-hop circles (Vex is also recording an album to be released on STONES THROW this year) to the jaded know-it-alls at the garage/ weird-punk message boards. Vex Ruffin and the lo-fi Jerkheads is a one man unit armed only with a basic sampler, a smokin' stack o' wax ranging from early rhythm & blues to the cr?me de la cr?me of punk killers, an electric guitar and a mic. Imagine if Tipsy met The Spits and was severely underproduced, and what you get is a primo batch of lysergic slop ripe to be freaked at any good party.
