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.

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. Chandler--Mutant Pop Records

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.

The Shirks - Cry Cry Cry - 7" ltd red vinyl
THE SHIRKS - Cry Cry Cry - 7" ltd red vinyl
Mailorder only red vinyl limited to 100 copies
Includes free download code
This is EP number four from one of Washington DC's finest, THE SHIRKS. CRY CRY CRY features three more infectious, guitar driven punk rock 'n roll A-Sides with 70's punk feel - there's a heavy SAINTS / Aussie KBD sound present in these tunes - run through the 90's garage filter while maintaining a raw and primitive vibe. To put things into perspective, Terminal Boredom might have put it best in a review of their last 7" on Windian, referring to the band's style as "East Coast tough-as-shit leather jacket punk bad ass-ness" ... while I'm not 100% sure what that means, I can't really disagree with it either because it sounds kinda perfect. THE SHIRKS have been at it for a few years now, with each release better than then next - if you have yet to check them out, then what better place to start than with this 7"?

School Jerks - Nothing Else EP - 7" ltd marble vinyl
SCHOOL JERKS - Nothing Else - 7"
Limited marble vinyl
WOW, I'd call this a semi 'CLASSIC' record. This is the 3 song debut EP from Toronto's School Jerks and it's a great follow up to the awesome demo. Ben and Ivan from Terminal State formed a band after TS' demise and rather than take all influence from the east coast, the band looked west. Early Flag, the Germs, Chiefs and Angry Samoans immediately come to mind. I can't recommend this any higher. These are 2nd press copies redone by Grave Mistake but using the covers and labels from the Riff Raff press and on MULTICOLOR WAX. If you don't have the 2nd record (aka Decline EP) or the newest one the Control EP, get those too.

THE ERGS - Thrash Compactor EP - 7"
Includes free ownload code
The Ergs record that never was, but always should have been! The THRASH COMPACTOR E.P., most of which was recorded 7 years ago, finally sees the light of day in the form of this one-sided 7". Five songs of short, fast, and catchy hardcore/punk like only the Ergs can do it. If you're only familiar with their post-Ben Kweller EP catalog, then you might not be aware of their penchant for rippin' hardcore/punk along the lines of bands like Adrenaline OD, "Bonus Fat"-era Descendents, and Angry Samoans. With lyrics about douchebag frontmen of former punk bands, high school killing sprees, suburban banality, and killing presidents ... you know you can't go wrong. This EP will fly right by you, but hook you right in to keep playing it over and over. Thankfully, it's one-sided so you just gotta move the needle back to the start. No flipping required. SPLIT WITH FIRESTARTER RECORDS.

Culo - Toxic Vision - 7" ltd clear or red vinyl
CULO - Toxic Vision - 7" EP ltd red or clear vinyl
Limited to 100 each colour
RED & CLEAR VINYL The follow-up to their highly praised ‘military trend’ 7” (see MRR review below), TOXIC VISION is CULO’s third 7” and it is a scorcher. Pure piss and vinegar hardcore delivered at high velocity and at no expense to catchy riffing. Mandatory! ‘This ripper will soon be filed under my “this fuckin’ rules!” category, never to be picked out during a desperate purging of the shelves. Listening to this gives me comfort in knowing that the torch of straight-up, yet distinctive hardcore is being passed along through good hands. These dudes throw down fast and frantic traditional HC that sounds like a bit of JERRYS KIDS mixed with Italian hardcore and a dose of fucking whatever it is that sounds just right to these ears. Four tracks and all of them are amazing. And now I’m getting a strange record collection sensation that my life will hereby be incomplete until I track down a copy of this EP for myself. Get this!’

Bloodtype - S/T - 7" ep
BLOODTYPE - ST - 7" ep
Limited red/black vinyl 100 copies only
Great debut EP from this NJ straight edge hardcore band. I remember getting a demo at random one day last year from Jeff (vox) and being very impressed by said demo tape, which is rare for me as I normally hear a band for myself (as in not getting a demo sent to me) & ask them myself to do a release. Well, this EP mops the floor with that demo stuff. The lyrics more pertain to typical angry topics of hardcore (growing out of the music, being hateful and just not getting along with everyone) than just being straight edge fare, which is rather enjoyable & reminded me of Cold Shoulder in that regard. I mean its like ''yeah, I already know you're drug/alcohol free so tell me something else too in your lyrics'' which is what's so refreshing about these sorts of sXe bands! Musically its of course hardcore punk, doesn't sound like any set band but is def influenced by bands like DYS and the Abused-but only influenced, not a ripoff. Also takes cues from modern edge bands with a huge penchant for punk! MRR said 'if punks were playing youth crew', think along those lines. Jeff's voice also is unique and that's another thing that makes this stand out-his voice has been compared to Craig of the Degenerics and I sort of agree. I'm also guessing by the cover its a subtle reference to their home state's Chronic Sick perhaps? A current fave of mine out of the east, if you really like straight edge HC and general hardcore punk check this out! This is the limited color vinyl for this EP, We asked for RED w BLACK swirls but got DARK MAROON with a RED stripe for the majority of the copies, stripes vary in size and some are more of a clearish BRICK RED without a stripe. Looks KILLER,

Sweet Tooth - Japanese Void EP - 7"
SWEET TOOTH - Japanese Void - 7"
Saved By Hardcore
Therapy Nightmare
Refuse
Pig Pen
Small Talk
Dont Come Close To Me
The grand debut from So.IL/St. Louis HC wonder youths Sweet Tooth featuring the brothers Meyer (of the zines 'I Was A Teenage Zombie' & 'Hey Ronnie' respectively). I (like others) raved about the demo & can only say if you enjoyed the demo that this one will knock your socks off. I sound like a used car salesman here! Anyways, its 6 well written short HC songs that are chock full of power. Erik is a great guitarist as his riffs hold a significant bit of importance to their sound and Kevin is a frantic frontman. Comparisons are indeed stupid and I'm guilty as charged, but elements of numerous sources can be culled here- Jellyroll Rockheads, Deep Wound, Siege, VOID, the Futures, Cold Sweat (esp in vocals) etc. Like a lot of stuff done on this label, this is for the cultist nuts for HC. It's never intended this way but I think those heavily involved or obsessed with crazy and intricate HC (like me obviously) will 'get this' the most.

INCLUDES DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CODE
Tracklist: 1. Another Fucking Problem 2. Long Gone 3. Keep Out 4. Degradation 5. No Authority 6. Deathbed
Following up their LP on Six Weeks Records, DC's COKE BUST have unleashed a monster of a new EP; easily their best and most crushing record to date.

This band is a fucking force and this is their best material to date... what else is there to say really? This is a certified, grade-A ripper, and if you're into hardcore at all (whether "hardcore" to you means Napalm Death, Youth of Today, or SSD) you will flip your shit to this. God damn... so fucking good. This record will make you see red. Grave Mistake Records.

Black Market Baby - Potential Suicide - 7" EP
BLACK MARKET BABY - Potential Suicide - 7"
POTENTIAL SUICIDE/YOUTH CRIMES/AMERICA'S YOUTH/KILLING TIME
Released nearly 30 years ago and out of print since then, Dr Strange has finally re-released this legendary Killed By Death 7" (originally on Limp Records) with two never before heard live versions of "America's Youth" and "Killing Time" from DC's 9:30 Club in 1984. The studio tracks were originally recorded by Skipp Groff at Inner Ear (Minor Threat, S.O.A., Teen Idles) and the live tracks by Government Issue's Tom Lyle. For fans of Minor Threat, Government Issue, Bad Brains, and Necros.
Black Market Baby from Washington DC were around in the late 70's and early 80's. Unlike most DC bands they played pretty straight forward punk rock instead of hardcore. They were pretty overshadowed by local hardcore bands, but had a great sound and style all their own and mixed well with the hardcore crowd. Their sound was more influenced by the Stooges/Dolls/Heartbreakers and UK Punk than hardcore. This 7" re issue from Dr. Strange features the original two songs on the Limp Records ep plus two never heard live tracks. Because it was on some comps this gets labelled as "KBD" punk at times. However you slice it, great early US punk.
