[Homeless]

Been a quiet 2015 to date for Homeless but all that's about to change with the three titles below, plus the Spray Paint album on June 1st.

********************************************************

h M A S - Fear God Honour The King LP
Release date: 22nd June

Deluxe silkscreen cover edition. Hand numbered of 100 only. Die cut and glued, printed in New Zealand. Images:



Inner sleeve with liner notes by Julian Teakle (The Native Cats, The Frustrations, Tasmanian music historian) and Andy Hazel.
Gatefold booklet insert. Digital download includes bonus cassette-only albums: ... Goes Pop! and The Computer Tape

Almost two decades after being recorded, h M A S unreleased album of lost recordings - Fear God Honour The King - issued on vinyl (or any format) for the first time! Remastered and remixed by Mikey Young and Ben Crothers.

Formed in the early '90s amongst the small town confines on the NW coast of Tasmania, Ben Crothers and Duncan Robinson found a new beginning in the music handed down from Ben?s older sister. Anything that came from reading NME and Select got them buying and listening to everything from Pixies, They Might Be Giants and Devo to XTC, Buzzcocks, Wire and Black Sabbath, not forgetting Tlot Tlot.

In the time since its recording in 1997, the original master tapes have been lost and this single attempt at a mix is all that remains. In a way this makes Fear God Honour The King exactly like everything h M A S had always done before - spontaneous but flawed, pointless but essential.

SPRAY PAINT / EXEK - Australian tour split 7"
Release date: 12th June
Limited to 400 copies.

Australian tour 7" featuring TWO previously unreleased tracks by our favourite Texans, Spray Paint, plus the vinyl debut of new Melbourne outfit EXEK, with the brooding Lynchian mysticism of new song, "The Theme From Judge Judy". When we first threw the EXEK cassette into the player late last year, we were stunned by the dub-heavy bleakness, which continues here with a track that fits perfectly alongside Spray Paint's art punk weirdness.

EXEK "Replicate" (from the cassette, which Noisey called "ambient and synthy post punk not unlike PiL, Swell Maps or Beak.")

********************************************************

SEWERS - Weight LP
Release date: June 29th
Limited to 300 copies.

Long awaited follow up to Hoisted displays a maturity to songwriting "who knew" It's possible this even crosses over into "life", as these Brisbane miscreants cross the pond to take on the challenge only a USA tour can pose. Witness Sewers "anti-party rock" for yourself, July 2015. Tour dates to follow. Preview track soon.



"Chain of Command" is a compact and gutsy little number that doesn't try so hard to drag its knuckles, it actually creates some weird spaces with post-punk chop-chop and some psycho-delic guitar clouds. Shows some progression, which I dig, as I felt they were going in circles on their LP. "Life's A Boar" is a terrible play on words (that makes me want to force a Bushpig reference in) but a decent tune that fits the military-themed baggage on the sleeve - like Venom P. Stinger without the drumming, very lean and mean, which is a good look for them. Their best stuff right here. - Terminal Boredom

[Scrod Prickknee]

That's the weakest Sailors album, though I believe it was CD-only, no? So that's cool. Some good tracks on there. Miss those dudes, so fun.

[Homeless]

Absolutely. And yeah, CD only, but I reckon it's better than Viva La Beaver!

[Scrod Prickknee]

It's just hard for me to rate it that way, since they played the previous material on their US tour and that was a post-breakup afterthought...I booked that ridiculous 5 week or whatever tour when they didn't have a single US release. Got a real nice Aussie ashtray out of it! They grabbed it at the airport. Got to see 'em 4 times, though, and they were great every time and always partied like mad after. I do like that release and I'm glad you're putting it out on vinyl where it belongs. They never got the run they deserved outside Australia.

[Richie]

The Sailors show we did here is still one of my favorite of all time. The Failure, Depression... CD has some of my fave Sailors tunes on it - Abattoir Blues, Slut for the Booze, Good Karma....so glad it's getting vinyl treatment -

The defence rests your honour. Here's an Aussie ashtray.

[Scrod Prickknee]

Mine has (had?) a nice little lighter "attached," and was in the shape of Orstralia.

[Homeless]

My first visit to the U.S was New York, 1989. The waitress who quizzed me about my accent and thought Australia was "near England" was incredibly cute. I wouldn't care that she spelled it Orstralia or confused us with Wales.

Scrod, get in touch if you're ever able to make it to Orstralia and I'll hook you up with those Sailors clowns - it might cost you a Memphis ashtray though.

New video for Cuntz "Nah Man" from Force The Zone - those lovable darlin's perform the song live and fuckin' nail it!

Check earlier post for first taste of Force The Zone, "Chinese Dreamboat".

[Homeless]

Force The Zone will ship this week to U.S folk that preordered. Pressing plant delay meant the release date was pushed back to the 9th - when our guy in NY was on tour with Cuntz. He's back today.

On a more bizarre note, Force The Zone has been nominated in the prestigious category of Best Heavy Album in the Music Victoria Awards, alongside other charmers like Fuck the Fitzroy Doom Scene, High Tension and King Parrot.

CLEVER - Kewdi Udi LP
Release date: 11th March

"Brisbane noisy nihilists Clever burst out of the gutter a couple years ago, wiping the floor with blood-and-sweat-stained alacrity. They started littering stages in 2014, after I had left, and I quickly lined them up to last year's Sonic Masala Fest - an amazing set, one of my favourites across the two festivals thus far. Their visceral gurning and flailing felt brutal and new, at least in these parts - aside from the dour disintegration of Kitchen?s Floor and gnashed madness of Sewers, this is the kind of sound more accustomed to the diseased denizens of Melbourne mainstays like Cuntz, Mutton and others that spill from the feedtime wellspring. But it shouldn't be a surprise that such arced anarchy was born out of the melding of dark-matter minds from members Per Purpose, Psy Ants and The Wrong Man. And now they have locked horns with Homeless for their first LP, Kewdi Udi. First cut 'Your Eyesore's Sweat' may not be the deepest, but it is infected with acrid angularity and fevered spit." - SONIC MASALA

MEN WITH CHIPS 'Attention Spent' LP
On their shoulders or accompanying fish? Both scenarios theoretically apply to this Aussie trio, sounding right at home on Homeless. Attention Spent doesn't require much (45 rpm, over in a dash) and 'twould appear our MEN have spans in line with that thinking (despite a few well-placed moments of patience). Songs throb and stab, each seeming uneasy in a Riley-era FALL way, that classic panic conveyance mode we all love and fear. Fans of artful and tough grill-fat splat could (and have, no doubt) done far worse. A creepy, rough tickle.
- Mitch Cardwell (MRR #406)

"Thick and chunky with a Black Eye and Aberrant sauce" - Homeless
