Mutant Pop Records - Dillinger Four - More Songs About Girlfriends And Bubblegum - 7" ltd blue vinyl

DILLINGER FOUR 'MORE SONGS ABOUT GIRLFRIENDS AND BUBBLEGUM' BLUE WAX-BLUE SLV 7" EP US Punk Rock

FUCK YOU, MS. ROCHELLE / AN AMERICAN BANNED / THANKS FOR NOTHING / TWIN CITIES SINNERS, UNITED.
'MUTANT POP RECORDS' LIMITED BLUE VINYL 7" SINGLE--MP-24.
BLUE SLEEVE WITH THE BLUE VINYL REISSUE 7"--WHEN MUTANT POP DECIDED TO REPRESS THIS SUPERB CHUNK OF USA PUNK ROCK HISTORY THEY USED 180 ONLY OF THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE LEFT OVER FROM 1997 BEFORE PRINTING UP A NEW BLUE ONE.
DILLINGER FOUR "More Songs About Girlfriends and Bubblegum." The title is ironic, of course, D4 doesn't give a rat's ass about either girls or gum... Many people think this is the best record Mutant Pop has ever released. Al l the others have not heard it. Chandler's blurb on the back of the sleeve really does say it all:

"Dillinger Four is one of the great American punk rock bands. For over a decade they’ve done their thing at the very highest level and you can put their stuff on the shelf of honor next to The Ramones and X and Black Flag and Hüsker Dü and The Queers and Screeching Weasel and whomever else you want to include in such illustrious company. First Wave, Second Wave, Current Period — it doesn’t matter, they’re among the best."
First recorded at the fabulous Sonic Iguana studios in 1997, this blistering 4 song EP is a masterpiece of the 7" vinyl format, a veritable mini-album. Raging guitars, passionate delivery, and brilliant lyrics on luxe Blue vinyl with a modified sleeve of the finest quality -- this is the complete package for punk rock fans. Mutant Pop shipped almost all of the 1000 copies of this new edition IN ONE DAY -- so it's soon to be out of print again

Mutant Pop Records - The Catalogs - S/T - 7" ltd purple vinyl EP

THE CATALOGS - S/T - 7" LTD PURPLE VINYL

MP-31 THE CATALOGS self-titled EP -- Here's the "legal" edition of the long-delayed Mutant Pop EP. These guys were covered by THE QUEERS in the mid-1990s, where where you? Originally kings of the surprisingly strong Hawaiian pop-punk scene, this was recorded in Portland, Oregon. Same material as the CATALOGS' "bootleg" listed above in the e-sleeves section, but a proper MP package for once! First 500 on purple vinyl, a shade which actually might best be described as "Cranberry."

Mutant Pop Records - The Loblaws - Won't Stop EP - 7" ltd pink vinyl + UK only insert

TOSSING AND TURNING/IT'LL TAKE A LOT/9:15/JIMMY

PINK VINYL 7" WITH UK ONLY HAND NUMBERED INSERT LIMITED TO 60 COPIES ONLY --ALSO HAS THE VERY RARE MISPRESSED 'TYPO' WRAP-ROUND SLEEVE.

MP-42 THE LOBLAWS "Won't Stop!" EP -- the first "new" Mutant Pop band and these mothers have the keys to the car. They cover a BEATNIK TERMITES song with authority, that'll tell you where they're at. Ultra smooth, dreamy thick vox over crunchy guitars. HIT TUNES!!! This is my new favorite band and I'm sure it will be the same for many of you as well. I think it is. First 500 on red vinyl. The plant ran out of red stock after just 203 copies and had to buy vinyl from another plant -- which came in a totally different shade! Imprint also ran the sleeve with a defective font with typos on the back and wound up redoing things. So the first 200 out the door are gonna be a little special -- the rare shade of vinyl in the typo sleeves... Yowza! And it's not only one of the best MP records ever.
THE LOBLAWS "Won't Stop!" Seriously, they won't. Dig the new breed, Mutant Pop 2.0: The Loblaws hail from Nashville, Tennessee, home of dumb country music and dumber country music fans. But don't hold their city against them, these guys aren't country in the least -- they have roots in a killer underground pop-punk band called The Robinsons, which toiled magnificently in New Orleans until a little storm called Katrina came along and scattered 'em... The three brothers and friend in this band (the latter a member of BACKSEAT VIRGINS) have been at it for a decade now in various groups and by now they have the songwriting and recording thangs down cold -- incredible pop-punk hooks and layer after layer of sugar sweet harmonies copped from THE BEACH BOYS. They cover the BEATNIK TERMITES on this four song debut record -- few bands can pull that challenging task off -- and they do it spectacularly. A taste of RAMONES downstroking, some of the catchiest originals you're ever gonna hear, and MASTERFUL vocal delivery makes for a very satisfying 4 song pop-punk rip... Another Mutant Pop record and a Mutant Pop CD are forthcoming in the next 12 months, jump on this train before it leaves the station! -- T. Chandler, Mutant Pop Records.

THE IMPULSE INTERNATIONAL are the new power-pop/'77 sound punk band featuring Dirt Bike Adam of the late and great DIRT BIKE ANNIE in new clothes as guitarist "Julius Buck." As with DBA before them, this veritable triple-A-side 7" is fast and catchy and lyrically cool, daddio. Word is that the Center for Disease Control is gonna have to have Buck & Co. quarantined for causing everyone they come into contact with to jump around the room spazzily, playing air guitar. Stellar, super, spectacular, sensational, spendiferous... They self-released their first split single, record number 2 is out on Deranged Records from Canada, this is number 3, record number 4 will soon be out on Killer Records from Finland, then comes the album on Deranged in Canada again. They really are "International," you see -- and they're in the process of taking over the world! This record is a must for fans of 1977-style Britpunk or early 1980s American power-pop, and fits in nicely next to bands like THE STATUES, CUTE LEPERS, and TRANZMITORS. Are you ready to rock?

Mutant Pop Records - The Connie Dungs - I Hate This Town - 7" ltd gold vinyl


MUTANT POP RECORDS

LIMITED EDITION GOLD VINYL 6 TRK 7"

I HATE THIS TOWN/WIMP BOY/MEDICINE/BETTER THAN ME/SOMEHOW/BOY OF THE MONTH

MP-08 THE CONNIE DUNGS "I Hate This Town!" EP -- reissue of a 1990s pop-punk classic, with a new PS. First 500 on clear gold vinyl. Technically this is the third CONNIE DUNGS 7", after their split with TUGBOAT and the Harmless Records release, but actually, this is the little record that first put the band on the map. Six great songs on one spinning slab, featuring Brandon Dung's plaintive lyrics and inimitable voice. This has long been one of peoples' all time favorite Mutant Pop Records, and it's my pleasure to bring it out of hibernation for another go round, despite my having previously called "last pressing" on a 45 piece edition in 2000 on opaque orange wax (long depleted).
 THE CONNIE DUNGS. Pop punk poetry set to crunching guitars, sung by an ubernasal vocal contortionist. Words don't do justice. Utterly unique in sound. For my money one of the 4 biggest pop-punk bands of the 1990s (along with Screeching Weasel, The Queers, and MTX). You might add Jawbreaker and make it 5. Brandon Tussey "Dung" is a troubled soul and a great artist. The songs are upbeat and catchy, and heartfelt. The lyrics, first rate. Early material was cartoonish, later material much more serious and poetic in a Jets to Brazil/Weakerthans sort of way. This was one of the biggest bands "on" the label from 1996-2000. Brandon changed the band name to A Radio With Guts and made one more album after my 5. There is some chance he'll be back on MP someday; the probability of a new 7" is very, very high.--T.

Mutant Pop Records - Jon Cougar Concentration Camp - Victoria's Secret Sauce - 7" ltd clear vinyl

MUTANT POP RECORDS

JON COUGAR CONCENTRATION CAMP 'VICTORIA'S SECRET SAUCE' LTD CLEAR VINYL 7" EP

VICTORIA'S SECRET SAUCE/DON'T CALL ME A SPARTAN/I'LL BE WHERE I'M AT/COOPER TEEN-O  
Jon Cougar Concentration Camp (JCCC) is an influential and now-defunct punk rock band from the San Diego, California area. They have released several albums, including the 1996 Melon (BYO Records) produced by the legendary Blag Dahlia, and the 1999 No More Room in Hell (Recess Records) which was effectively an album of unreleased demos.
Jon Cougar Concentration Camp was formed in January 1994 in San Diego, California by Chris Fields, Clint Graham, Travis Spatter, and Travis Milligan. “There were a lot of people coming and going back then. We were just the four people that happened to be jamming together that night we came up with the name,” said Chris Fields, speaking of the punk house he dwelled in at the time. They played their first show at The Casbah on January 31, 1994. Less than two months later they released their first 7” EP on their own label. JCCC toured up and down the West Coast over the next 6 months. Word of the band traveled fast and before they knew it they were releasing their first full length album. They juggled drummers over the following year, and when asked to tour the entire US, Dave Swain came in to replace Clint and Travis. JCCC were a three piece when they signed to BYO Records.
During a break between tours and recording in 1996, Chris joined The Queers to support their album Don't Back Down. Chris jumped between The Queers and JCCC for a year before bringing fellow JCCC member Dave Swain into The Queers as well. Fields said, “I felt bad putting JCCC on hold all the time and leaving Dave hangin.” For a while, both Chris and Dave played in both bands. JCCC even went out in support of the Queers on a US tour, and filled in for them in Italy. During the recording of JCCC’s Melon the band brought in punk rock legend Blag Dahlia (Dwarves) to produce the album. Blag was impressed by Chris’s talent and asked him to join the Dwarves. After being overwhelmed by all three bands, Chris left the Queers and ended Jon Cougar Concentration Camp in 1999. He played in the Dwarves over the next three years and still has close ties with them. Dave is still with The Queers.
From 2000 to 2006, JCCC occasionally played shows in San Diego with the original members.
Chris' newest project is called End Of Power and is still a current member of The Dwarves. Dave Swain is a member of The Queers, and has a new band called The Bugs. Fields produced and played drums on their debut album. During the recording of The Bugs, Dave and Chris along with other musicians recorded Screeching Weasel's My Brain Hurts album as Jon Cougar Concentration Camp. It will be released on Livid Records as a short vinyl only release sometime in 2009.

Incredible Kidda Band - Radio Caroline - 7" ltd reissue

INCREDIBLE KIDDA BAND - Radio Caroline - 7" (Last Laugh) "Well, here we go. Another gem of a record re-imaged by the Internet personalities at Last Laugh. While technically a reissue (these two tracks appeared on the aptly titled Detour release Too Much, Too Little, Too Late in 2000), this is the first time that “Radio Caroline” and “We’re Gonna Make It” have appeared as a 7” and the format serves the songs well.


Personally, I've always thought that the Incredible Kidda Band ran rings around all of the more well known U.K. pub-rock-slash-power-pop bands of the late 1970's, making contemporaries like Eddie & The Hot Rods look like the boring dog turds that they were. Prime example: “Radio Caroline” is a fucking perfect tune, maybe one of the best representations of the genre, ever. It melds the simple (yet for most bands, strikingly elusive) concepts of melody, energy, into a tight, two minute barrage while retaining a structure that shows effortless transition from part to part. The stripped down B-side comes off as an afterthought by comparison but, as a stand alone track, is great nonetheless.

The Kidda Band should have gotten their due long ago but, as with all of the lost souls featured on VoT’s EXHUMED series, it was not to be. Right some wrongs and grab this thing. “Radio Caroline” is waiting for you." - Rawce (Victim of Time) '

Puncture - Mucky Pup - 7" ltd reissue

Puncture was an early English punk group. Founded in the summer of 1976, this Islington, London based, four-piece combo consisted of Paul McCallum (guitar/vocals), Steve Counsel (bass/vocals), Jak Stafford (guitar/vocals) and "The Fabulous" Marty Truss (drums). Their influences ranged from early The Who, The Kinks, Small Faces, through to Roxy Music, David Bowie, blues, rhythm and blues, and The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

Their first major gig was in November 1976, at Fulham Town Hall in London a week after an early gig by The Clash. Various personnel changes ensued, with Jak Stafford leaving to join prominent punk band X-Ray Spex, as Jak Airport. A brief tenure with guitarist Eric Electroid (aka Kenny) saw them move on to pastures new, with the recruitment of band member Anthony Keen on synthesizer and keyboards.
In October 1977 they released a single called "Mucky Pup" / "Can't Rock N Roll (in a Council Flat)", the first release (Small One) for the Small Wonder Records label, based in Hoe Street, Walthamstow, London. 2,000 copies of the single sold out, prompting Small Wonder Records to press another 1,000 singles. "Mucky Pup" gained lots of airplay at various punk gigs throughout 1977, and the B-side, "Can't Rock N Roll (In A Council Flat)" was played on the BBC Radio 1 John Peel Show. They continued to play various gigs around London, notably at the punk club "The Roxy" in Covent Garden, supporting The Wasps and "The Man In The Moon" in Kings Road, Chelsea, supporting The Fruit Eating Bears. They continued gigging until January 1978, culminating in their farewell gig on 20 January 1978 at the Basement Club in Covent Garden, London.
In the 1980s The Exploited covered "Mucky Pup" on their album Punk's Not Dead.
Like so many other English punk singles of the time, original copies of the Puncture single now sell for up to £30.
"Mucky Pup" can now be found on the Small Wonder Vol. 1: Punk Singles Collection and "Can't Rock N Roll (In A Council Flat) is on Small Wonder Vol.2: Punk Singles Collection compilation albums.
