THE BASTARD NOISE 'A CULTURE OF MONSTERS' LTD COLOURED VINYL LP WITH GATEFOLD COVER & POSTER
RED, WHITE OR BLUE VINYL - MAILORDER ONLY LIMITED TO 200
VINYL FORMAT. The Bastard Noise follows a first quarter 2010 release of The Red List (a split with Endless Blockade) with a full-length "magnum opus" titled A Culture of Monsters. A paramount product of composition, sonic-rendering and package, this second volume of bass / percussion / electronics structured work realizes the full, true power of "THE SKULL" as a critical force in contemporary musical expression. Here "spun-steel-girder" virtuoso Eric Wood and Trogotronic "electronic-ace" WT Nelson are joined by original Man Is the Bastard master-drummer Joel Connell for what could become the most interesting T.B.N combination to date following the departure of Danny Walker and his unmatched performance in the previous lineup. Both LP and CD formats feature unhinged brutish imagery: The LP clad in full-color gatefold album jacket and poster; the compact disc is manufactured as a miniature LP with an all-paper, baby-gatefold album jacket and full-color twelve-page booklet. Both formats contain complete documentation including lyrical content and wry "skull-commentary" for every cut. A Culture of Monsters will pleasurably submerge sonic desire until it is abruptly crushed under extreme pressure of singular execution and stunning complexity.

MATURE SITUATIONS - OLD HANDS - 7" LTD PINK VINYL
Very limited PINK vinyl Mature Situations, the band, was borne of the need to trivialize the grievances and tribulations of the elderly, (in a sexual manner where possible), so as to anger karma and preemptively flip off the inevitable pants-shitting, Viagra-snorting, hip-replacing, sour-milk-smelling future of all men. Is nothing sacred? 4 new songs, featuring Chris Colohan (BURNING LOVE, LEFT FOR DEAD , CURSED).

Very limited white/yellow mix vinyl After a stunning demo last year, Boston’s BLOODY GEARS return with a brilliant 7”. Imagine a more aggressive WIPERS mixed with early ARTICLES OF FAITH and you get something pretty close to BLOODY GEARS. This is a no-brainer – top notch hardcore punk. MRR had this to say about the demo – “This band already has a sound that's their own, but likely draws from THE OBSERVERS and LEATHERFACE,and there's something very Midwest about these songs as well, making me think of early ARTICLES OF FAITH and HUSKER DU."

Reactors - Seduction Center b/w I Want Sex - Last Laugh Records, the same label who brought you original copies of the Matchheads single in new sleeves, has pressed up their first reissue single. This Reactors single is a Killed By Death classic and this reissue has been deemed a better issue than the original, which was pressed in a ridiculously limited edition of 100 copies back in 1979. A good chunk of those were destroyed in a flood, which makes this one of the rarest American punk singles ever. 500 of the reissue were pressed. Originals have sold for over $1000, £5.99 is a drop in the bucket in comparison. No brainer. Recommended.

The Eat - Communist Radio - 7"
LEGIT REISSUES FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTERS ON NEW USA LABEL 'LAST LAUGH RECORDS' TOTALLY CULT CALIFORNIA KILLED BY DEATH PUNK- THE HOLY GRAIL 7"s FOR MANY KBD PUNK COLLECTORS LOVINGLY RE ISSUED.
COMMUNIST RADIO/CATHOLIC LOVE--Recorded live Sept'79
The Eat were one of the first and most important punk bands in the state of Florida," says Bob Suren, musician, archivist/collector, and owner of the Sound Idea record store in Brandon. "They inspired the first wave of Florida hardcore, bands like F, Roach Motel, Lethal Yellow, and Gay Cowboys in Bondage. Without The Eat, hardcore and punk would have not developed here."

FREESTONE 'BUMMER BITCH' LTD REPRESS 7"
BUMMER BITCH/CHURCH
Legit repress of the single that (probably) best epitomizes the whole KBD genre. First time on 45 since '78 (not counting its inclusion on bootleg comps), from the original masters on new label Last Laugh records, totally cult California Killed By Death punk, one of the holy grail 7"s for many KBD punk collectors lovingly re issued.
FREESTONE were LA hippies who were actually mocking the then-early (197 punk sound on their incredible retard classic "Bummer Bitch". With some intrepid detective work, I've found this explanation from Freestone member Billy DeMoya, who confirms that it was indeed meant to be "taking the piss", and yet for so many of us this is a high water mark for berzerk, revved-up dumb rock. A total happy accident. It not only kicked off the second "Killed By Death" LP upon that comp's release in 1989 (and made me a fan for life upon the first opening bashed chords & tinkly piano), but it's now one of the most collectable punk 45s around. It literally defines KBD, along with a few other heavy hitters like the NERVOUS EATERS' classy "Just Head" and THE EAT's "Communist Radio". Freestone just happened to get lucky once, for two minutes flat, and created a monolith of foul, tasteless punk rock lunacy.

FUCKED UP 'DANGEROUS FUMES' LTD 7" CANADIAN HARDCORE PUNK
DANGEROUS FUMES/TEENAGE PROBLEMS
VERY LIMITED REPRESS OF 800 ONLY FROM THE HARDCORE GIANTS--PIC SLEEVE IS GLOSSY-AS TO THE NORMAL MATT FINISH-INCLUDES LYRIC/PIC SHEET INSERT.
To my mind this is one of the best hardcore punk bands of the 21st Century thus far. The simple catchy songs strike me as being far deeper than they appear on the first listen. The band employs a stripped down "less is more" approach that is three steps ahead of most hardcore punk bands today. The end result are songs that work on several levels at once, manifesting themselves both as "thinking man's hardcore" and circle pit instigating ragers at the same time.

Marvelous Darlings - I'll Stand By Her - 7"
MARVELOUS DARLINGS 'I'LL STAND BY HER' LTD USA 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.

MARVELOUS DARLINGS "Teenage Targets" b/w "Lagoons" Blue wax 7"

The backstory is hardly tabloid fare—the usual coulda-shoulda-woulda bullshit is to blame—and really, who cares? Chew on this instead: Marvelous Darlings are one of the best bands you'll hear on a 45 these days, even though they're more of a "collabo writing team" than a "band," says frontman Ben Cook (FUCKED UP, YOUNG GOVERNOR, the BITTERS). These two songs, recorded in 2007, are a primo blend of punk and power-pop permutations; supremely catchy, gloriously played, and instantly classic. Plastic Idol couldn't be happier to bring them to you on vinyl in 2010, better late than never. Pressed on blue vinyl, limited to 600 copies.

RARE PRESS OF 600 ONLY USA 7" WITH LIMITED COVER
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.

VIRGINIA CREEPER / I'M A MESS
RARE USA LAVENDER VINYL 7" SINGLE LIMITED TO 750 COPIES ONLY.
NOW OUT OF PRINT COMES IN FULL COLOUR WRAP-ROUND COVER
PLASTIC IDOL RECORDS PIR-034 2008
YOUNG GOVERNOR is Ben Cook (FUCKED UP, MARVELOUS DARLINGS, NO WARNING, VIOLENT MINDS, etc.), and this is his debut solo record. "Virginia Creeper" and "I'm a Mess" were laid down by the Governor at East End Reclusives, in Toronto, Canada, a dumpy practice space responsible for an impressive amount of recorded work in recent years. Although more pop-infused than the hardcore punk stylings of Ben's present/past, Young Governor solo is arguably as raw and unpredictable as anything he's done, if not more so. The needle-pegged, hyperactive pop of "Virginia Creeper" and "I'm a Mess" offer a glimpse of the Governor's 2009 agenda, and frankly, teasers don't get any better than this. Pressed on beautiful lavender vinyl with a full-color sleeve (layout by Matt Wong), limited to 750 copies.
For those that are unaware, Gov is the 3rd guitarist in Fucked Up, as well as a part of such bands as Marvelous Darlings, No Warning and Violent Minds to name a few over the years. This current incarnation is completely solo, Gov plays everything. The music is a lot more in the powerpop punk style of Marvelous Darlings with a definite nod in the direction of Angry Angles.

Cripple Bastards - Variante Alla Morte - CD
CRIPPLE BASTARDS 'VARIANTE ALLA MORTE' GRINDCORE CD
SUPERB GRINDCORE CD ON DEEPSIX RECORDS
1) Faccia da contenitore. 2) Variante alla morte. 3) Pedinati. 4) Allergie da contatto. 5) Insofferenza. 6) Lo sfregio e le sue ombre. 7) Inverno nel ghetto. 8) Spirito di ritorsione. 9) L'uomo dietro al vetro opaco. 10) Sorriso decubitale. 11) Stimolo chimico. 12) Cedimento strutturale. 13) Sangue chiama. 14) Implacabile verso il suo buio. 15) Stupro e addio. 16) Confessionale in b&n. 17) Marchio catastale. 18) Gli anni che non ritornano . 19) Karma del riscatto. 20) Regredito a che punto. 21) Falsificato ideale. 22) Sottoposti al taglio. 23) Conquista dell'isolamento. 24) Auto-azzeramento
The longly awaited 4th full-length album by Italy's most hateful and aggressive Grindcore unit ever, terrorizing the masses since 1988. 24 tracks of solid fast Grind/Hatecore with a huge dose of thrash, hyper-varied vocals and annilhating blastcore bursts. Recorded in Sweden at Fredman Studios (At the Gates, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, The Haunted, Driller Killer, Skitsystem + tons more) this 31 minute hammer-in-the-face is a total guarantee of pure CB ultraviolence backed by a powerful production, with no doubt the best CB ever had. The absolute album to celebrate 20 years of Cripple Bastards! Here's one of the first reviews the album got outside of Italy: "for nearly two decades Italian grindcore merchants Cripple Bastards have been on the scene. With three full lengths, a double DVD and 30 splits to their name they are no strangers to anyone vaguely familiar with the underground. Now their new album "Variante Alla Morte". has comparisons to grindcore legends Napalm Death (pre-"Fear Emptiness Despair"), Agathocles, Phobia and second wave genre acts like Gadget, Nasum or Regurgitate this Italian quartet merges the best of the genre’s earlier outfits with its current modern day purveyors. Combining the genre’s hardcore punk roots with modern day grindcore "Variante Alla Morte" is a testament to the strong will of these Italian stalwarts. The punk/hardcore influence comes mostly from Giulio’s angry streetwise shouts, screams and barks. True to form the material on this record is short, compact and relishes in delivering a quick one-two punch to its listeners through the combination of catchy short and few longer tracks. While sung entirely in Italian, Cripple Bastards deal with topical socio-critical issues and not the horror and gore that is associated with the genre these days. Recorded at the highly regarded Studio Fredman in Hyssna, Sweden with Frederik Nordström (Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames) handling the mix "Variante Alla Morte" comes with the expected high end production job. The guitars are brick heavy in their crunchiness while remaining clear, the bass thunders audibly in the back and the drums sound very well produced. "Variante Alla Morte" is definitely one of the strongest grindcore albums on the scene today. Be sure to check it out.

Burning Love - Demo - 7" purple vinyl
BURNING LOVE 'DEMO 7" ' UK only release on Transparent Purple Ltd To 250
Track list--LIVES OF THE SAINTS/ALIEN VS CREDITOR/MONEY SHOTS/I DONT LIKE YOU(Battalion of Saints)/BURNING LOVE
THIS IS THE UK ONLY RELEASE ON CLEAR PURPLE VINYL LIMITED TO 250
ALREADY OUT OF PRINT
The first vinyl offering from Toronto’s BURNING LOVE featuring Chris Colohan (CURSED, LEFT FOR DEAD, RUINATION) on vocals. Originally released as a limited cassette demo in 2009, now available on vinyl. Definitely more punk than CURSED but still rooted stoner / doomy metal hardcore. 4 originals and one cover. 2nd 7” and LP coming out soonish on DERANGED and a full USA and Canadian tour later this year. Review from EXCLAIM ‘While the name may deceive, there's no love ― just burning ― on this Toronto, ON-based quintet's energetic and completely grimy debut recording. Comprised of six tracks blasted out in ten minutes, the garage-based endeavour is shockingly debaucherous and unkempt. Essentially comprised of former Cursed vocalist Chris Colohan and Hamilton doom-y hardcore outfit Vatican Chainsaw Massacre, this sinister collaboration spawns a dirtier punk'n'roll-based hardcore outfit than one would anticipate. Their drive elicits comparisons to Disfear, Holland's the Spades, back in their Learnin' The Hard Way era, and of course, Colohan's deep-rooted adoration for Winnipeg, MB's dearly departed Kittens, offering an element of downbeat-heavy tracks bathed in primal angst. Keenly restrained enough to be melodic but still abrasive and loud, Burning Love offer up what's best described as the pelvis-driven distillation of their feeder bands. And that is great but pretty frustrating when such an awesomely primitive, rudimentary style can be so inspiring and brusque yet ephemeral.’

WORLD BURNS TO DEATH/SLANG
LIMITED RED VINYL SPLIT 7"
Marking the 2010 summer U.S. tour of Austin, Texas's WORLD BURNS TO DEATH and Sapporo, Japan's veteran hardcore band SLANG, this EP combines two guitar driven blasts of hardcore fury. SLANG have existed for over twenty years evolving between Classic Japanese fast hardcore and downbeat NYHC influences, their track " Our Grey Earth" rampages on SLANG's own path, incorporating the evolution of influences into a fast assault of hardcore that winds to a devastating guitar driven breakdown. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH similarly continue to evolve from caustic bursts of corrosive thrashing to a tempered attack stitched by a melodic guitar riff and glued solid with torrential drum bashing, volatile guitar blasts and harsh vocals, ensuring their track " Babylon Endures" continues their trademark sheer intensity. Limited Red Vinyl copies for Stores and distro only are limited to 650.
