Marvelous Darlings - I'll Stand By Her - 7"

Marvelous Darlings - I'll Stand By Her - 7"

The latest addition to MARVELOUS DARLINGS' discography is a legitimate double A-side threat. Like their last three singles on Bachelor, P. Trash, and Taken By Surprise, "I'll Stand By Her" and "Friend of a Friend" were destined for a full-length release that never materialized. So, a killer LP became a collection of killer singles, parceled out to different labels, issued one at a time (maybe they'll be reunited someday). Much has been written about these guys' sound and the other bands in which they have/had a stake and it's pretty much all on point--we won't pad the score here. Once again, the Westerbergian vibes permeate through these grooves, a union of snarling rock 'n' roll and strummy goodness. Limited to 600 copies, black vinyl.

Young Governor - Call Me When The Cat Dies - 7"

Young Governor - Call Me When The Cat Dies - 7" ltd

Young Governor, AKA Ben Cook of Fucked Up, The Bitters, No Warning, Marvelous Darlings and Violent Minds fame, continues his outpouring of 7" singles with "Call Me When The Cat Dies" which doesn't let up on the fuzzy garage punk sounds akin to The Replacements or The Undertones. 

The Young Gov has been rolling from label to label for the last year or two dishing out some of the best and craziest sounding punk tunes you can get your ears around and this one on Criminal IQ might be the best of the bunch (so far). "Call Me When the Cat Dies" races along with a tense and sinister vibe immediately reminiscent of the Lost Sounds with guitar effects tweaked to make them sound almost synth-like in places. A total rager that sticks hard to the ribs and mind alike. The flip "Fade Away" is a great mod jam that pays homage to fellow Man City fans Oasis and there's even a thank you for weirdo City midfielder Steven Ireland on the cover. A great record by a remarkable song-writer.

Young Governor - Firing Squad - 7"

Young Governor - Firing Squad - 7" Ltd

In a few short years, Ben Cook has carved out a sweet little niche for himself under the moniker "YOUNG GOVERNOR." The Guv's stamp is pretty much everywhere you look these days: he writes, he records, he slings wax as a budding record label mogul, and he still finds time to rock the guitar in FUCKED UP. Last year, he even landed a part in some teen idol flick, playing drums opposite Nick Jonas, and lived to write a song about it for his agent. Word is, the Guv is taking it to the stage in 2011 with a full band. No ETA yet, but we'll all be paying attention for sure. This single marks our fourth dance with Ben and it's a real corker. "Firing Squad" was on its way to a super-indie when we rescued it, while "25 With a Bullet" appears here in its third--and best, we think--form. Limited to 600 copies, black vinyl.

V2 ‎– Speed Freak - 7"

Bent Records ‎– SMALL BENT ONE - 1978 - This is the rarer first pressing released in Black Vinyl

A1 Speed Freak

A2 Nothing To Do

B1 That's It

A band from the Manchester punk scene along with the Fall , Buzzcocks and Warsaw and containing ex members of the Nosebleeds and Panik. Evolved from the early days of the Electric Circus and definitely erred on the glam side of punk!

Great single Speed Freak / Nothing To Do / Thats It on (Bent Records 1978). If you think the chorus in Nothing To Do sounds naggingly familiar then play I'm Mad by Slaughter & The Dogs and see if there is a similarity !!. The single is mega rare so pick up the 21 track retrospective on Overground called simply enough V2 but which is excellent and well worth checking out. In the sleeve notes it says..." On record they rarely, if ever, achieved that which they could deliver live....crashing through stages wearing frankenstein boots; attacking front rows with guitars hacked into cricket bats; faking electric shocks to stop riots...coming off stage covered from head to toe in gob, beer, whatever " - thanx to http://www.punk77.co.uk/

Band: Jonathan E - Vocals. Rev PP Smythe - Guitar. 

Stan The Man - Bass. B'Dale - Drums.

HG Fact ‎– HG-236 - 2009  Two Snakes split between both sides. Screen print cover with Japanese lyric sheet. 350 pressed.

Fucked Up is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The band formed and played their first shows in early 2001. The initial practicing lineup consisted of 10,000 Marbles (Guitar), Concentration Camp (Vocals), and Mustard Gas (Bass Guitar). Just prior to recording their demo tape, Concentration Camp moved to guitar and vocal duties were taken over by Pink Eyes (also known as Mr. Damian). Drums are played by Mr. Jo (also credited as G. Beat or J. Falco) and Young Governor was added as a third guitarist in 2007.

Following the release of the demo, the band embarked on a long series of 7” vinyl 45 rpms. Unlike many of their contemporaries, the band shunned full length LP or CD formats, preferring to output their music two songs at a time. While some record distributors refused to carry the singles, they were generally released to broad appeal, receiving glowing reviews in many punk fanzines. The artwork and feel of the records was a tribute to the [Dangerhouse Records era of punk vinyl.
