AJ Davila was the bassist and main songwriter in the disbanded Puerto Rican garage punk band Davila 666. He wanted to do something different with all the friends that he has met through the years in the music industry. Beside his band Terror/Amor he called some guests to the recordings: Sergio Rotman from an Argentine ska band Los Fabulous Cadillacs; Alex Anwandter, a Chilean pop-singer; Juan Cirerol, a Mexican folk singer-songwriter; Selma Oxor, a Mexican electro-trash songstress, who also is member of the band;  and there are Costa Ricans sure: Johnny Otis from Davila 666, who also member of the band; Mercedes Oller from the garage-pop group Las Robertas; Dax Díaz, a folk singer-songwriter; Fofe Abreu from the electro-pop Fofe y Los Fetiches. So the music is a little ecletic, but very Davila 666-like Latin garage rock.

„I wanted to do a rock ‘n roll band, because the best thing in the world is being in a rock ‘n roll band.  I guess I’d been friends with Nic (Bed Wettin’ Boys, RIP Society Records) for a really long time and I was saying that to him on a phone, and he’s like “I’m the guy for the job.” – said the Australian musician Angel Bermuda (Circle Pit, Southern Comfort, Straight Arrows) about her brand new project, Ruined Fortune. „It’s a really different sound to Circle Pit though: it’s a bit darker and weirder.” Tight, noisy punk rock in the manner of late 70s-early 80s with cheap Casios, drum machine and metal percussion.

S/T LP by Hozac Records. It was recorded with two drummers, Daniel Spencer (Blank Realm) and Joe Alexander (Per Purpose).

Bad Dream Pop

Golden Drugs is a side project of Drew Person from Twin Steps. The Oaklander Twin Steps is a funny eclectic rock band, mix all and everything.  Golden Drugs is less funny and less eclectic. Friends

from digital album In The Midnight Sun

The first black punk band was formed by three brothers in Detroit as RockFire Funk Express. In 1973 they recorded two songs for a single that was released in last year by Third Man Records because they changed name and style just after the recordings under the influence of an Alice Cooper show. The new style is called proto-punk today and the new name would be Death. The Columbia Records president implored the band to change its name, but they refused, so their first album was released in 2009. It was recorded in 1974

Their only one single was self-released before the next style and name change. In 1977 the Death transformed into a gospel-rock band: 4th Movement. (The famous black hardcore-punk band, Bad Brains was founded in same year.) Then they transformed into a reggae band. Their recordings of Death were discovered in the second half of 00’s. The band has reformed with a new guitarist (the original died in 2002) and a documentary was made about their story.

A now here are two unreleased Death songs from the after-Death era

The Hosehead Records is a little independent garage rock/punk/power pop record label in Canada.

What was the cause of starting of the label? 

– Hosehead Records is just two guys from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Myself (Patrick) and Mike. Mike plays in a band here called First Base, and in May 2011 they needed a label to release a new cassette tape EP, so we just thought of the name Hosehead and that was pretty much it! We’re lucky that people liked what we were doing, because we could have just as easily stopped and vanished right there.

What’s the main profile?

– What do you mean by this?

– Sorry but I’m stupid, that the question shows it.

What was the greatest success?

Technically speaking, we’ve sold more Steve Adamyk Band 7″s than anything else, so that’s the biggest success. in 2014 we’re putting out our first LP, which is a huge success since we started out by putting out cassettes. We’ve saved up money from anywhere possible to put out records, so it feels like it’s been a long time coming.

What was the greatest surprise in the course of your story?

The biggest surprise is that anyone cares about what we do at all! We only put out music that both of us love, so when we find other people that are into what we like, it’s a great feeling. We’re both big record collectors, so we know what it’s like to find a record we never knew existed but suddenly can’t live without.

What will be the next release?

Our next release is a split release with P. Trash Records from Germany. It’s the debut LP by Ottawa, Ontario, Canada’s Average Times. They sound like a mix between Mean Jeans, Ramones and Marked Men. From the first time I heard the song „She Knows”, I knew we had to put out their LP. That is out March 4th, 2014.

My favourite Hoseheads Ketamines and Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs

In 2010, San Marcos in Texas was listed in Business Week’s survey of the „Best Places to Raise your Kids.” Scott H. Biram, the Dirty Old One Man Band comes from here. „My music is the bastard child of Punk, Blues, Country, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Chain Gang, Metal, and Classic Rock,” or in brief it’s „Depression Era Metal.” About love and jelaousy, alcohol and drugs, sin and forgiveness and similar stupid, but very important human affairs.

Nothin’ But Blood LP by Bloodshot Records

Dirt Dress is a punk band in LA. I think their music is influenced by The Fall and Wire, and sometimes it reminds me the garage rock of Jack of Heart and JC Satán.
