Time To Surf! Richie Records #003 Cassette £5.99 Killing new cassette (follow-up to the insane Bitchy Woman side on Maim & Disfigure) from the best (only?) acid punk thug-rock orchestra currently operating out of the USA. Still a heavily drugged Butthole Surfers/Sunburned Hand of the Man vibe to the way the infinitely delayed vocals entwine with hardcore swamps of huzz and drums but there's also a weird Ciccone Youth edge of street-tough bubble gum here, as well as some classically vicious American scum moves that are somewhere between Chain Gang and Halo Of Flies played through a megaphone with TV chatter and a ton of pedals. Love it. Limited edition of 100 copies, tapes with printed labels, all black sleeves. |

Paint The Walls Parts Unknown 018 LP £11.99 "Snake Apartment let twelve gross inches of ugly, noisy punk slither out of Rhode Island. Heavy scuzz rock drenched in syrup puts on its studio shoes and has a loose night out on the town, sounding like a shelved Am Rep gem just dusted off and released to cumsumers. Here's a small glimmer of hope for middle aged losers who enjoy late Black Flag, Flipper, Brainbombs, Drunks With Guns, God Bullies, and TAD, and neo hipsters and indie label CEO's falling over themselves with glee over bands like Pissed Jeans and Clockcleaner. Limited to 500 copies, all on green card green vinyl. Get it while the gettin's good." - PU. |

Hope For Men Sub Pop SPCD-730 CD £10.99 Excellent new album from this beautifully grimy thug/punk unit, now signed to Sub Pop. The heaviest influence here is undoubtedly Von Lmo circa that nuts performance on the CBGBs doc Under Underground, with that same up-tight schizophrenic power riff style, albeit cut up with lashings of bass downs, flailing post Greg Ginn hardcore fingers, some wasted metal drama and the kind of funny, supremely self-loathing lyrics that are somewhere between Killdozer, King Missile and The Butthole Surfers. Just great to hear a contemporary rock band that actually rocks And this is their best yet. |
