I think the best phrase to the Canadian PyPy‘s music is: progressive mad house. It’s a mix of fashionable proto-metal, hardcore-punk, noisy garage rock, joy divison-like post punk and acid sounds. The members are from such great bands as CPC Gangbangs (raw garage punk), Red Mass (a global rock‘n’roll”community of musicians, writers and artists – free thinking and liberation through art) and Duchess Says (synth-punk).

… because what is garage rock?
The Slovenly is one of the most important “underground” record labels which focusing on “the best garage and punk shit rock” all over the planet. The story has begun under the name of 702 Records in Reno (Nevada) in 1994. The US Post has changed the area codes and 702 no longer belonged to the whole state of Nevada, just Las Vegas, so the label was renamed to Slovenly Recordings in 2002. They have offices in Spain, Holland and even Pennsylvania.
“really hard to get around is that it usually takes 10+ years for a band to get the attention they deserve”

Peter Menchetti,
the founder of Slovenly Recordings
The editor’s note: you can find a fine video under link of every mentioned band!
It seems that after the indie rock scene’s hip status, now it’s garage rock becoming the coolest type of rock music. What do you think about it?
I’m not really sure what to think, because what is garage rock? There are some bands playing under that banner that definitely don’t belong. I had the pleasure of working with Buck Ormsby, founder of Etiquette Records (and bassist of the The Fabulous Wailers, a garage rock band between 1958-1969 – editor’s note) in March when we had THE SONICS (influential garage rock band between 1960-68. Reunited. – e.n.) play our 20th anniversary party in Reno. He said that he had discovered them in a garage in Bellingham. That’s where the term comes from… the implication that remains for me is real, raw, budget, rock’n’roll. How someone like Jacco Gardner (plays baroque pop – e.n.) fits into that is beyond me… Maybe we should also ask THE PENETRATORS… the self-proclaimed „Kings of Basement Rock” (It’s a legendary punk band from the 70’/80’s. Reunited – e.n.) They probably have some ideas about their garage rock cousins, har!
When you started Slovenly Records what was different in the garage rock scene?
Well, bands like the OBLIVIANS and TEENGENERATE were still playing to pretty small crowds… we also had THE GORIES play our party and they were telling me about how hard they worked in the 90s, and about how often they played to 10-20 people in Detroit. Things have changed a lot, but a recurring theme that I’ve realized is really hard to get around is that it usually takes 10+ years for a band to get the attention they deserve. Only those who work relentlessly and have someone with money backing them up get somewhere more quickly. BLACK LIPS is a good example. They busted their asses hard for years with Vice (an international magazine – e.n.) backing them up. When I started Slovenly they were playing house parties in Atlanta.

2005. Thessaloniki, Greece. A crew of refined musicians records an album, makes 80 compact disc copies, hand-delivers them to some local men of taste. Then their musical career broke in two by the weather. They didn’t drive to their only show because was too cold out. Seven years after the owner of the Slovenly Records heard his CD in a van during the euro tour of his label two Greek bands, the Bazooka and Gay Anniversary. And then they were in Budapest on rnr666 party.

I feel a flavour of little Latin, little Russian in it.
Bazooka – Self Titled LP
The Slovenly is a famous record label (more famous than the rnr666 records) and as the Hungarians say: they don’t roll the shit. The Slovenly release the great Greek garage punk band, the Bazooka’s debut LP now. By the way, have you known that the bazooka is a homemade brass instrument? The anti-tank weapon got his name after it because of his similar form. Well. Last year the Bazooka gig was a smash hit in Budapest at rnr666 party. They are coming from Volos, from where the Argonauts started to find the Golden Fleece very long ago. Perhaps owing to an antique economic crisis. Well. Why I tell these? Because of I have to write something from them besides that this is a fucking good album and raw wild garage punk. Pump up the volume and click the player!
They are two parallel bands in fact.
