Risk In A New Age – LP and digital on Desire Records (France)

One rnr666 boss Pali said that Nathan Loud Fag Cop singer’s new songs are „very mucking good!” Lo-fi garage punk rattling straight from the basement

Fag Cop (sometimes Ex-Fag Cop) is a raw punk band in the middle of the States in Lawrence, Kansas, where the most viable musical life is to be found between Chicago and Denver – was written by New York Times in 2005. Maybe it is a side-effect of a nuclear attack by Soviets in 1983. Yes, nuclear attack, of course. It was televised.

„Beta Frontiers is the soundtrack to a near-future physical video game where your shoes are hovercrafts and you actually make it to all the parties in one night. When you get there, everyone is like, “Hey Mike!!”, as beamy smiles melt into your now-hologrammed dancing body.” (Anamai, ambient folk artist, label mate)

The Lemons (of Chicago with John Lemon) are under inlfuence Silly Symphonies, Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies and play nice, seriously stupid and stupidly serious „candy-coated bubble pop that everyone calls “jangly” but we wanna be creative and call them “skippy.” Teen Runnings are the Beach Boys of  the Japanese Sea.

Italian psychedelic rock band La Piramide di Sangue loves you in oriental mood

„Sette” LP and digital  on Boring Machines (Italy)

It’s a seven musician ensemble from Torino. The sound is built on two guitars, two basses, one clarinet, one synth, several effects, drums and percussions. It has started as a solo project of Gianni Giublena Rosacroce (clarinet, percussions) who is an alter-ego of Stefano Isaia, the singer of blues rock and roll band Movie Star Junkies.

CRETIN STOMPERS are from Memphis, members of Jay Retard Band, Barbaras, Wavves, Big Muff Radio. Their debut album „Looking Forward To Being Attacked” is out now on Hozac Records (US).

Garage – sure, rock – naturally, punk – of course. Not raw or hard, but simple and sweetly rough, sometimes psychedelic, with drum machine and nice Japanese pop style vocal and tunes, with covers from The Styrenes and Dave Brock (Hawkwind). Sometimes turns into chaos. Vivid. Cretin. A-ha, oh yeah.

Some Ember – s/t album on Dream Recordnings
