Bleeding Rainbow[[9776]] |
Philly’s beloved duo Reading Rainbow is now a full blown rock quartet Bleeding Rainbow. “Yeah Right” is third third full-length. Bleeding Rainbow says, “the sound this time around was more directly influenced by bands from our teenage-hood such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Yo La Tengo to name a few.” Mixing hints of Greg Sage’s anthemic, anxiety-ridden punk riffs, with equal parts drone and noise swells reminiscent of Kevin Shields at his most inventive, with an overlaying of boy-girl harmonies, Bleeding Rainbow channels the Mamas and the Papas as if backed by early Smashing Pumpkins. KR87 1/29/2013 |

Beach Day[[10504]] |
This is the second single from Hollywood, FL trio Beach Day. Filter Magazine states: “Nearly four minutes of gorgeous surf and garage rock, complete with tambourine bashing, sentimental keys, jangly guitar, and rich vocals all about lust and longing. It captures the sincerity of the ‘60s, while ringing ever so true today.” We couldn’t agree more! Limited gold vinyl 7″ pressing. KR93 11/13/2012 |

Young Prisms[[8333]] |
San Francisco’s dream-gazers Young Prisms will release their sophomore album “In Between” March 27th. It is available in white vinyl with gatefold jacket, cd digipak, cassette and digital formats.

Royal Baths[[7935]] |
This is the year we (re?)discovered San Francisco. And we didn’t even have to look far since Royal Baths moved right to Brooklyn. Which is awesome, because we got to release this gem of a record. Seriously, we don’t have anything like it! That’s all we’re gonna say – you need to listen for yourself. Available on vinyl, cd and digital.

Xray Eyeballs[[8135]] |
Xray Eyeballs began as the brainchild of guitarist O.J. San Felipe and bassist Carly Rabalais, who, after founding Brooklyn garage-rock juggernaut Golden Triangle (Hardly Art), sought a release that would sate both their sweet-toothed desires and their darker impulses, like a candy-coated Vicodin. Like their musical antecedents The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Velvet Underground, Xray Eyeballs creates a world of their own. Low-lifes, night-walkers, pill-riders, and other sordid characters stalk the band’s New York City streets and their songs compel you to follow them until you find the peace of a night redeemed in the morning light. ‘Spendor Squalor’ is our second lp and is available on vinyl and digital format.s

Zambri[[7010]] |
For Zambri’s debut EP, digital and vinyl + mp3 release, Spin Magazine said, “Sweet pop songwriters who also like to freak out, couching celestial harmonies in skewed synths that sound transmitted from Kate Bush’s womb….There’s no speaking in tongues, per se, but expect plenty of oozy, noisy bits and drum patterns tapped directly from the netherworld….”

The sophomore album from Pepper Rabbit, Red Velvet Snow Ball, is to be released on August 9th, 2011. The Los Angeles duo continues to be inspired by the band’s birthplace, New Orleans.

Grooms[[6096]] |
On Prom, Grooms’ sophomore album, to be release on the Kanine label July 12th, 2011, the Brooklyn avant-rock trio has come into their own. In every way, Prom is a more mature, unique, adventurous, and most of all, accessible record than 2009′s widely-praised album Rejoicer. To Grooms, this record is about freedom: to be catchy, to be unabashedly pretty, to try entirely new types of music, and even to write their first-ever breakup song. They hope you sing along to Prom, that you get happy and sad to it in the way you do with great pop records, and that you get just a little freaked out when their dark side shows up here and there.

Eternal Summers[[6295]] |
Eternal Summers has always had a way with cleverly crafting quick-hitting pop gems. Be it from their debut 10″ or their most recent LP, Silver, their uptempo rhythmics are nothing short on infectious. Our friends at Forest Family Records have teamed up with us to present a short collection of new tracks from our Roanoake sweethearts. The title track from the EP, “Prisoner”, is very likely Eternal Summers at their most lively. The Prisoner EP will hit shelves on April 19th in digital formats – and limited run of 12″ white vinyl.

Xray Eyeballs[[5889]] |
Xray Eyeballs is the brainchild of O.J. San Felipe. Gathering fellow Golden Triangle band mate Carly Rabalais (Bass, Vocals) and Jay High (Guitar, ex-Gogogo Airheart), along with Rop Style (Synth, Theremin, Beats, formerly of the famed band Pee Chees), and Allison Press (Drums), they put together a live show that rivals the crowd up into a huge party frenzy, like their fellow garage contemporaries (and buds) King Khan and Black Lips, except it’s carried out with a New-Wave Pop twist. Drawing comparisons to the frantic pop of Jay Reatard and the Urinals, and the moodiness of VelvetUnderground and Jesus and Mary Chain, Xray Eyeballs twist it all into their own pop concoction. Liz Berg from WFMU described their sound as, “fuzzy, over modulated garage pop at a languid trot.” Not Nothing is their debut album.

Dream Diary[[5136]] |
Dream Diary debut album, You are the Beat, reflects the heavy influence the early 90′s indie music scene in Glasgow has on lead singer/guitarist Jacob Sloan. Drawing inspiration from records spanning from The Pastels and The Smiths to Belle & Sebastian, this collection of beautifully arranged and richly orchestrated pop songs was written for the starry-eyed dreamers to dance and make out to. Fans of early Creation and Sarah Records (especially Brighter! Yay Brighter!) will instantly fall in love with Dream Diary’s sweet, bouncy and twee-flavored songs. Available in CD digi and red LP gatefold + mp3s.

BRAIDS[[5147]] |
With their debut Native Speaker, the young members of BRAIDS have created an album that transcends both their age and geographic location. Raphaelle Standell-Preston (lead vocals, guitar), Austin Tufts (drums, vocals), Katie Lee (keys, vocals) and Taylor Smith (guitar, bass, vocals) have distilled their individual output into minute, minimalist parts and then generated all of their collective sounds into a sweeping, synergistic maelstrom. Meticulously produced by the band, Native Speakeremerges as an extremely potent concoction of playful, lavishly orchestrated and deeply cinematic pieces – all without a sample in sight.
Available in CD wallet and LP + mp3s. Digital release Jan 18, 2011. |

Young Prisms[[5122]] |
Young Prisms album “Friends For Now” comes in digipak CD or gatefold LP + mp3 with translucent dark purple vinyl (even though in the store the sticker says translucent black which is what we were going for, but hey, purple is awesome too). Also super limited yellow cassette run (+mp3s).
For the music, consider this a warning issued with an inviting grin: this music will make you want to drop acid and become a recluse. Or it will make you jump up and down in a dark crowded room while your eardrums bleed. Or it will make you want to read Sarte, or graphic comic books, or maybe Hunter Thompson. And in one hundred years when people want to know what it felt like to be young on the West Coast in the early new millennium, they might just put on this record. |

Pepper Rabbit[[4411]] |
Pepper Rabbit’s debut album ‘Beauregard’ is to be released October 26th. Vinyl comes with mp3s. Cd is digipak. Musically, Pepper Rabbit might fall between American experimental indie bands like Beirut and Neutral Milk Hotel, but one listen to Beauregard, immediately sets them apart. Weaving banjos, trumpets, warm electric guitars, pianos, ukuleles, pounding drums, clarinets, and the subtle tones of Xander’s voice, Pepper Rabbit constructs complex yet unabashedly pop, mini-masterpieces. Tracklisting: 1. Clarinet Song 2. Harvest Moon 3. In the Spirit of Beauregard 4. Red Wine 5. Snowalker 6. Older Brother 7. None Shall Sleep 8. Song for a Pump Organ 9. Babette! 10.

Eternal Summers[[4223]] |
Eternal Summers will detoniate your chill vibe. While you’ve no doubt spent the hot months absorbing ultraviolets and soaking up beach-y sounds, Nicole Yun and Daniel Cundiff have been cutting loose in the back woods, creating their fuzziest, jangliest statement yet: Silver. The album, far-reaching and ambitious despite its minimalist drums-and-guitar cast, mixes 90-second fist-pumpers and dreamy, six-minute meditations, noisy highs, and uncomfortably quiet hums. Capturing the energy of their live shows and calling to mind early indie legends like the Raincoats, Galaxie 500, Beat Happening, and Unrest, they are only partially joking when they call their sound dream punk. Tracklisting:1. Displinarian 2. I Know Now 3. Pogo 4. Eternal 5. Running High 6. Safe At Home 7. I’ll Die Young for Rock n Roll 8. Salty 9. World’s Away 10. Dye 11. Silver 12.

Available in CD, digital and white vinyl gatefold (+mp3) formats. “What’s remarkable about the song, and the album itself, is how Viernes manage to capture the organic tone of the real instruments – especially the human voice – despite the electronic nature that dominates their sound.” Reax Music Tracklisting:1. Glass Windows 2. Sinister Love 3. Enhanced Pendulum Channel 4. Entire Empire 5. Regressive Soul Pollution 6. Glacial Change of Pace 7. Honest Parade 8. Ancient Amazon/New Fashion 9. Liquid Tunnel 10.

Grooms[[3876]] |
This is the debut album from the Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s own Grooms released on vinyl for the first time. “The ’90s indie rock lashings of Grooms, add a reminder to dust off your Polvo/Sonic Youth LPs(Stereogum)”. Emily and Travis spawned from the Death By Audio scene, where A Place To Bury Strangers’ main frontman, Oliver, runs his pedal business, studio, and all ages loft parties out of. Joined by Jim(previously with Marnie Stern) on drums, Grooms make some of the prettiest music imaginable while leaking out strong 90’s American influences all over the album. You can hear traces of Pavement, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh within each underlining track. Tracklisting: 1. Dreamsucker 2. The Nights Were Walls (We Climbed Them All) 3. Kier 4. She-Bears 5. CJ 6. Ghost Cat 7. Acid King of Hell (Guitar Feelings) 8. Fag Feels Good 9. At The Pool 10. Thumbs KR53 06/8/2010 |

When you think of West Palm Beach, what comes to mind? Probably not anthemic, bombastic, life-affirming indie pop. Enter Astro Coast, the debut album from West Palm’s Surfer Blood. While still in their early 20s, they have penned an album that even the most hook-laden power pop band would rightfully be jealous of. Tracklisting: 1. Floating Vibes 2. Swim 3. Take It Easy 4.

Jean on Jean[[548]] |
Molly Schnick’s new project, Jean on Jean is about feelings. When her longtime band Out Hud broke up in 2005, she started from the beginning. She bought audio recording software and a microphone and set about to write songs on cello and guitar that spoke to a time of tremendous change.
The results of her labors are the nine songs that make up the self-titled album Jean on Jean. The sound is warm, lush and orchestrated, like Colin Blunstone’s One Year or Judee Sill’s Heart Food. And like those records, the lyrics are personal, focused on the highs and lows that go along with any major change. Tracklisting: 1. Tonight 2. Grown 3. Change 4. Cold Horse 5. Summer 6. Circle 7. You and I 8. Hawaii 9. Finally |

Holy Hail[[550]] |
Having released several EPs and singles, Holy Hail made time between touring across the pond and gigs south of the border to record their debut album “Independent Pleasure Club.” The 11 tracks mix the political activism of Neil Young, the southerness of Leadbelly, the aesthetic of ESG, with the pop sensibility of the Tom Tom Club. Lyrically, the album covers various hot button political issues, including the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, the environment.
Tracklisting: SIDE A: 1. Elemental 2. Luck Will Find You 3. Peep Show 4. County Fair Part 2 5. Cool Town Rock SIDE B: 1. Double Dutch 2. Independent Self Devotion 3. Samo Son 4. Backwater 5. Cherry Street Vinyl comes with mp3 download code and extra track: Flying Kites From Satellites |

“Does You Inspire You” is the debut full-length album from Chairlift – who are following up their Evident Utensil single from earlier this year. The album features 11 tracks ranging from synth-pop to electro-folk. Surprisingly, a French website said it best, when they claimed Chairlift is “just as at home in a David Lynch film as in the aisles of a supermarket.” You can’t find it in either yet, but here’s hoping.
Tracklisting:1. Garbage 2. Planet Health 3. Earwig Town 4. Bruises 5. Somewhere Around Here 6. Evident Utensil 7. Territory 8. Make Your Mind Up 9. Don’t Give A Damn 10. Chameleon Closet 11. Ceiling Wax |

Monsters Are Waiting[[536]] |
Formed in 2005, Los Angeles based band Monsters are Waiting released their self-titled EP in October of that same year, following up with a full-length album titled “Fascination” in July of 2006. Now, Monsters Are Waiting is returning with their second EP, “Ones and Zeros.”
NME has called Monsters Are Waiting “majestic, Metric-style haunt-rock – monster munching our stereo in the process,” and the combination of Annalee Fery’s innocent, floaty voice and Andrew Clark’s jangly guitar licks has been called “haunting and authentic” by All Music Guide and “elegant without being polished” by LA Weekly. Monsters Are Waiting is expressive without being idiosyncratic, atmospheric, airy, and ambient, blending indie pop with elements of shoegaze and a little bit of a new wave sound. Tracklisting: 1. Crazy Love 2. Don’t Lie 3. Ones and Zeros 4. It’s Endless 5. I Wanna Be Adored (Stones Roses cover) 6. Steal the Sun |

Shock Cinema[[414]] |
Returning one year later, with nine new songs coming out under the moniker “Hell and Highwater,” Shock has created an atmospheric soundscape for the high seas. If the debut was ” a rash, clashing, noisily-engineered post-punk gnasher” (Big Takeover) flying by at break-neck punk speed, the follow up is more deliberate and varied, allowing you to take a breath and soak in everything on the horizon. Heave ho!
Tracklisting: 1. Leviathan 2. Oddfellow 3. Albatross 4. Wax Wings 5. Atlas Shrugged 6. Mutineers Reconsider 7. Infinity 8. Lone Islands 9. Dead Sea |

The first North American release for Manchester’s The Whip featuring two singles Trash and Frustration. By synthesizing computers and electronics with live drums and guitars, The Whip makes dance floor bangers, and we expect no less from a band from Manchester.

Northern State[[534]] |
Northern State has been busy recording a new full length, their third. While recording, the girls reported from the studio, “We’ve been writing some rock songs and some hip hop songs and some other kinds of songs. We have been doing an unprecedented amount of singing, and we are no longer allowed to hold writing sessions at the Rodeo Bar. We have either lost our mind completely or we are making the best record of our career. You decide.” Well, we here at Kanine decided, it’s their best yet – and we picked two songs that typify the “other kinds of songs” or their “new direction” and pressed it onto some beautiful black VINYL complete with colorful jacket. The A side contains two tracks off their upcoming third full length album and the B side contains exclusive remixes. This will be limited, get it now!
Tracklisting: Side A: 1. Better Already 2. Away Away Side B: Better Already (Hired Goons PVC Remix) 2. Away Away (Dub Remix) |

Mixel Pixel[[544]] |
This is a vinyl 12? single – the second single from the upcoming album. As the most straightforward and upbeat track, Coming Up X’s screamed for the remix treatment. Female Pixel Kaia Wong throws aside her keyboard and steps up from her backing vocal duties to provide lead vocals – resulting in a Blondie-esque dance floor hit. The remixes range from the electtro-weirdness of Poingly to Alan Astor’s lounge-ified mix. Books on Tape re-imagines the song with breakbetas, while Streetlab provides the track with a dancefloor kick.. A must have for DJs and fans!
Tracklisting: X Side: 1. Coming Up X’s (Streetlab ) 2. Coming Up X’s(Books on Tape) 3. Coming Up X’s (Poingly) Y Side: 1. Coming Up X’s (album version) 2. Coming Up X’s (Alan Astor Remix) |

Professor Murder[[522]] |
Professor Murder’s sound is as informed by hip-hop, bootleg mixtapes, downloaded mp3s and club nights, as it is by 70s and 80s post-punk. In early 2005 the band nixed the guitar from their line-up which pushed them to rethink their music from the ground up. Their aim was to create a sound that distilled the many disparate soundtracks to their lives in New York City. The result, as captured with the help of the production duo The Brothers, is a rythm-heavy dance sound littered with reggae, funk, and hip-hop. After you pick up the album, you’ll want to check them out live – it’s one big dance party!
Tracklisting: X Side: 1. Champion 2. Pedigree 3. The Mountain 4. Camron’s New Color (Pt. 3) 5. Free Stress Test |

Mixel Pixel[[1305]] |
This is the first single from their forthcoming LP, Music For Plants, due out later this year. Along with “You’re The Kind of Girl”, a boy-meets-girl trip hop jamboree, the single includes 3 exclusive B-Sides: “What Are You Wearing?,” a playful take on a Momus song, “Personal Space Invaders,” an instrumental outtake which could easily be theme music for a cowboy movie in outer space, and “My Animal,” a song from Rainbow Panda, remixed by Poingly.
Tracklisting: 1. You’re the Kind of Girl 2. What Are You Wearing? (Momus cover) 3. Personal Space Invaders 4. My Animal (Poingly remix) |

The iOs[[68]] |
The iOs debut full-length, In Sunday Songs – a classic indie pop, rock album with 10 songs to cheer you up on a rainy Sunday. The iOs mix the keyboard exuberance of Mates of State with the grittier rock guitars of Weezer. The music contains some 80s references, but the electronic edge keeps the sound relevant and fresh. With alternating vocals, Autumn and Chris playfully portray lover’s quarrels. Chris claims he neverights love songs; judge for yourself here!
Tracklisting: 1. Neveright 2. Come True 3. Who’s the Blonde? 4. Resident Alien 5. Every Waking Moment 6. Rockets 7. Everyone As One 8. Reality Intrudes 9. Deeper Sleep 10. Still Finding Out |

Mommy and Daddy[[538]] |
After releasing their EP Fighting Style Killer Panda earlier this year, the curiously named duo Mommy and Daddy is quickly sapping the demand for more with the full length Duel at Dawn. Continuing where their EP left off, their punk-party sound is laced with sing-a-long choruses, mini-intervals of shouting and the catchy clap along interludes that force you to smile and shake. Duel at Dawn, however, also has a slightly darker edge, heightening the dirtiness, the intensity of the vocals, and the fuzzy, jagged base lines, quickly proving that their music is infectious, eccentric, and difficult to turn off. For fans of: Le Tigre, PiL, The Faint or Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Tracklisting: 1. Pretty Loser 2. A Good Deal 3. Cops 4. Way West Way 5. Lost the Plot 6. Top Down 7. The Streets Have Come Alive 8. Franconia Road 9. Already Warm 10. Full 11. So Far, So Good |

Oxford Collapse[[524]] |
A Good Ground is Oxford Collapse expanding its skies, deepening its tracks, and discovering their peers. The music has taken on elements of what could only be called Americana — though it’s the hazier Americana heard on a circa-’85 Meat Puppets or R.E.M. record as opposed to the term’s more recent connotations. Much of the album’s spent in a cascading territory, drumbeats as propulsion; the ideal soundtrack for a long drive with the windows down and the sun in your eyes. A Good Ground finds Pace delivering his vocals with a newfound strength, and the addition of Rizer enriches the vocal department even further.
Tracklisting: 1. Empty Fields 2. Prop Cars 3. Last American Virgin 4. The Boys Go Home 5. Dusty Horses Practice 6. Cracks in the Causeway 7. Flora Y Fauna 8. Proofreading 9. Flaws 10. No Great Shakes 11. Volunteers 12. Keep ‘Em In A Canyon |

Mixel Pixel[[546]] |
Contact Kid Mixel Pixel use obscure video game samples and sublime lyricism making a unique electro-folk style that pushes the envelope of popular music. The Mixel Pixel sound is, at its core, electronic, punky, paranoid, and half-Japanese; an overall by-product of growing up in the 1980’s. It is irreverently experimental, with its hot pink ghetto blasting beats, quirky guitar changes, folk interludes and imagist lyrics. Live they incorporate video projection for an overall visual and aural experience that completely envelops the audience. For fans of: The Unicorns, The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, Atari Video Games
Tracklisting: 1. I am the Contact Kid 2. Mantis Rock 3. Penny Rocket/Romantic 4. Little Wolverine 5. Tell Tale Drum Machine 6. Out of My Mind 7. At the Arcade 8. Gas House Gables 9. Pittsburgh Brain 10. The Drag City Starlet |

Rockethouse[[515]] |
Rockethouse is loud, distorted rock featuring ex-members of the amazing Aerial Love Feed…With a sound that calls to mind such legendary bands as Primal Scream, Jesus and Mary Chain and newcomers Kasabian, “WMD” is sure to leave its mark in 2005. The music, blending electronics, samples, pulsating rhythms, and a wall of guitar sound, is noisy, dynamic and ominous, but not without hope.
Tracklisting: 1. Temporary Glitch 2. CB 3. Doomsville 4. Lock and Load 5. My Clock 6. Pedestal 7. Depths 8. Retrieve the History 9. Killjoy 10. Rockethouse |

Mommy and Daddy[[540]] |
Mommy and Daddy is the super electro-punk duo from the streets of NYC! Their sound is the bastard child of the Misfits meets the B-52’s… Their formula is simple: when she sings and pushes buttons, he plays bass guitar; when he sings and hits the machine, she is on bass. The driving pummeling bass, accompanied by maniacal keyboard driven beats makes for some of the most cunning punk rock last heard from the likes of Blondie or the Buzzcocks.
Tracklisting: 1. Confection 2. Street Cleaner Demeanor 3. The Now 4. Run It Off 5. Question Marks Followed by Exclamation Marks 6. Confection (Extended) |

Four Volts[[557]] |

If you’re into blur, the pixies, television personalities or my bloody valentine, we’re telling you, you’ll love this CD. Upon receiving the CD ‘Sup Magazine writer said, “this is hot as piss…I was not prepared for its awesomeness.” So you’ve got ’til Jan 18th to prepare yourself for Four Volts.
Tracklisting: 1. Didn’t You Used to be Invisible? 2. Heartworm (ooh ooh song) |

Grizzly Bear[[554]] |
Horn of Plenty is a nostalgic amalgamation of found sounds and layered vocals bound to thrill followers of Animal Collective, Sufjan Stevens, Nick Drake and the Unicorns. While the album pushes the boundaries of mellow into undiscovered territory, Grizzly Bear is not sure if they fall under the newly coined “freak-folk” category or hte new-folk genre, but they’d like to offer up wood-temp or cave-core. V Magazine likened them to Neil Young on cough syrup.
Tracklisting: 1.Deep Sea Diver 2. Don’t Ask 3. Alligator 4. Campfire 5. Shift 6. Disappearing Act 7. Fix It 8. Merge 9. A Good Place 10. Showcase 11. La Duchess Anne 12. Eavesdropping 13. Service Bell 14. This Song |

The Izzys return with a full-color jacket limited edition 7 inch. They’ve rerecorded their hit single “Dreaming” and two new previously unreleased tracks. While “Mary Lee” touches on the more R&B side of rock, “A Place in the Sun” is a vintage Izzys B side.

Oxford Collapse[[526]] |
Oxford Collapse’s epic ‘Melting the Ice Queen’ has been remixed into a dance floor hit.

The Izzys[[65]] |
“The Izzys don’t sound over-produced through a Casio -keyboard like Casablancas and his colleagues, and have more technical respect to their musical roots. The three-piece band, fronted by principal singer-songwriter Mike Storey , … and there’s no denying it – The Izzys is the best Rolling Stones album released in the last twenty or so years, and Sir Mick and Keith are nowhere near it…. This is thirty-one minutes of instant, refined rock and roll that feels stolen from a lost age.” CD Music (UK)
Tracklisting: 1. Little Sally Water 2. Turning Round 3. Highway Blues 4. Lonely 5. Stand Up Laughing-Falling Down to Cry 6. You Got Me Crying 7. Strange 8. Change Your Mind 9. Morning Bells 10. Velocity 11. Dreaming *Bonus Video: Dreaming |

Oxford Collapse[[528]] |
“It’s almost too tempting to play on Oxford Collapse’s name — the Brooklyn trio’s debut album,…, possesses more than one glorious, twitchy moment where breakdowns will, most assuredly, break out on the dancefloor. But the band’s skill, and what makes Some Wilderness one of 2004’s standout releases (it comes out April 14), lies in their know-how when it comes to pasting all those pieces back together again.” City Paper (Philadelphia)
Tracklisting: 1. Land! 2. 1991 Kids 3. The Money You Have Maybe Too Little 4. Cumberland Gap 5. Melting the Ice Queen 6. Totally Gay, Totally Fat 7. Back in Com Again |

Oxford Collapse[[530]] |
“Firstly, they have an early 80s post punk sound mixed up with a DC-ish type groove that really rocks along, a squlechy bass sound blends in with frolicking guitars and exuberant vocals…And they have this overwhelmingly danceable feel, very rhythmical and enjoyable, I should reckon they are a dashed fine live band. Kind of schizophrenic too, which is never a bad thing.” Collective Zine(Philadelphia)
Tracklisting: 1. if it dies in peoria… 2. grasses of anne 3. sex face 4.(havin’ a blast in) co-op city 5. melting the ice queen 6. bobby v (previously unreleased) |

The Flesh[[408]] |
“Somewhere in between the sleek production of the Rapture and Radio 4 and the all out mania of Electric 6, lies the Flesh. Deliciously lo-fi and extremely danceable, this band makes rock music with unbridled sensuality. They even make the organ sound sexy. There’s a dark undercurrent though, a slightly gothic leaning if you will. In fact, it is quite possible that the Flesh is the illegitimate love child of Robert Smith and glam era Bowie, and though I’m sure the band members will cringe at the application of any label, THIS is disco punk.” Filter Magazine
Tracklisting: 1. Death Connection 2. Love 3. Foes 4. Copticon |
