Allo Darlin’ release third LP. „We Come From The Same Place” is made up of smart, beautiful pop music, with lyrics that resonate with experience and melodies that chime, echo and soar. Have a listen to three songs from the album. Order. Also on Fortuna POP.
The Mantles new single. The Bay Area’s garage-pop greats The Mantles are back with a tweaked line-up featuring the swirling keyboards of Carly Putnam and the rock-solid bass of Matt Bullimore. „Memory” is an upbeat song that recalls some of the finest of the Paisley Underground bands.Listen to Memory. Order. Euro tour now.
The June Brides return with new EP. English pop legends The June Brides are back with their second single since re-forming back in 2011. The June Brides are true indie innovators, whose classic 80s records influenced everyone from The Smith/Morrissey to The Wedding Present and Belle & Sebastian. Smart, punk-influenced pop is the order of the day, bristling with jangly guitars, marvelous melodies and top-notch song-writing. Listen to Being There. Order.
Terry Malts have been exploring the murky area where hope meets disgust, an area populated with anger, hatred, exhaustion, delusion, seclusion, consumption, life, death, breathing, eating and a host of other conflicting and confusing ideas. Their records to date have a been a refreshing blast of catchy punk, pop-influenced but also chaotic, noisy, shredding. The Insides EP might be their most „pop” record yet, but don’t let that make you believe that they’ve given up on the blazing, verge-of-feedback guitars or pummeling rhythms. Listen to Let You In. Order.
The Aislers Set reissue their back catalog. Slumberland Records and Suicide Squeeze Records re-release all three albums from seminal indie-pop band The Aislers Set. The albums have been re-mastered. The band’s third album, „How I Learned To Write Backwards,” is available from Suicide Squeeze. Listen to songs from all three albums. Order.

GINO & THE GOONS – SHAKE IT (LP)
Gino and the Goons are the most unlikely band to have gotten any attention in the current shitpool of rock’n’roll posecrap. This is the album you wanted to be budget rock. This is the album you wanted to be dumb as fuck. This is the album that fails on both levels. This is the album that proves that Ramones worship doesn’t have to be predictable or generic. This is the album that proves that rock’N’roll doesn’t have a fashion, and that musical style rules supreme. PLAY LOUD cuz, cause you’re not likely to get this action for many years to come. R.I.P. Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy! Preview on Bandcamp and order
SICK THOUGHTS – Fat Kid (10″ EP)
Have you ever been to Hanover, PA? I’ve spent time there, and It’s WEIRD. Hanover is lousy with mongoloids /Juggalos and slack jawed farm people. Drew Owen, otherwise known as SICK THOUGHTS, was born there, and through the benevolent seer abilities of his dad was fortunate enough to escape to Baltimore, MD, currently ranked in the top 30 most dangerous cities in the USA. 17 years old Drew Owen has vinyl releases on labels from Italy (Goodbye Boozy), Sweden (Ken Rock), Zaxxon (Canada), and a few American imprints, including an upcoming single on Goner Records. Sick Thoughts channels GG and the Jabbers and Japanese noise with heavy negatory spirit on each track – a sonically screwed and
puberty drenched hatful of hateful punk rock sputum. Preview on Bandcamp and order
OVERGROUND RECORDS (UK)
The debut album from Steve Ignorant‘s new project Slice of Life, it’s very different from what you’d associate him with, but it’s a mighty fine album.
On the way home from the Australian & New Zealand Last Supper Tour in 2011; Carol, Pete and Steve Ignorant found themselves stranded due to the Chile ash cloud. During the long night gazing at the lights of Sydney reflecting on life while drinking beers, Slice Of Life was born. A far cry from the aggression of Crass maybe, with the songs in an acoustic setting of: piano, acoustic guitar and upright bass, Impossible to categorise, Slice Of Life’s first album is up-front and soul-baringly personal. It’s a mixture of songs and spoken word. Order
SINDERLYN RELEASES (US)

Self Fellatio, You’ll See, It’s All So Goooood
Aretha Franklin in Punk, Sometimes with Nick Cave
Shilpa Ray is an Indian American singer-songwriter. She got Indian classical music education, and learnt to play harmonium and piano. In her childhood it had been forbidden her to listen to pop music. Her first pop experience was Oliver Stone’s film The Doors. Then she has taken to music of Velvet Underground, Cramps, Stooges and Joy Division. After her bands „Beat The Devil” and „Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers” were split, she toured with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as a backup singer and supporting act. Then she recorded a version of Pirate Jenny featuring Nick Cave and Warren Ellis for compilation album „Son of Rogue Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys.” (It was co-produced by Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes’ bandmate in the band „P”, Johnny Depp.) Her latest EP It’s All Self Fellatio was released by Nick Cave’s own label in 2013.
Shilpa Ray in Palisades, Brooklyn
It’s back home that Shilpa Ray closed her 6 weeks US tour. And the gig was as stunning as the character herself. She plays harmonium (a kind of beautiful piano/accordeon instrument) that fits perfectly with her style. Wavy hair and open mouth, her cat voice hiss and miaows through the sound system sitting in front of me and I let my body speak with the alive machine.
Shilpa, I’d like to say that you’re a sort of hero. You possessed your public by spreading your healthy, angry, frustrated feeling of shame. Your natural talent is an inspiration to all the unloved ones. So what else do we need? You transform your own emotions into a real touchable and touching music. The tribality of it all, sustained by heavy beats proves that you can deal with being rough and powerful. The female fans say it surely, you inspire and transpire feminity.
John, the professional pedal steel guitar/keyboard player melts with her. He says, when playing he tries to inverse the melody making his music complementary to other’s, and that’s the magic trick of being a professional artist. This 6 weeks tour has been tough for the band, but finishing it at home just makes it seem all so smooth. Indeed, John lost himself on stage and that’s how he knows it’s been a good night!
Oooo crap, Shilpa has to fly away and there are so many things I will never know about the artist, though, after having heard what I heard I ‘ll always remember her melodic inside.
People! Do yourself a pleasurable favor and listen to It’s all self fellatio, you’ll see, it’s all so goooood.

Don’t Panic, Just Missiles of October!
Which October? The Glorious Red one of Russia in 1917? Maybe the time is here again? Disintegration, distortion, decline, civil war, violence and terror, but finally from the bloody chaos the brave new world rise up and literally break your freedom on the wheel for the sake of the forever Golden Age.
These Missiles of October come from Belgium with cruel thrash punk attack. They mix punk with thrash metal without guitar solos, like the Oozing Wound in Chicago. It’s not a revolutionary act, just „loud, dirty and angry.” But why angry? Maybe because this little country has 7 governments, 7 parliaments and one king. But why just one? Why not 7?
