2007 release ** Re-issue of 1993 album. "Detriti was founded in 1984 as a trio: voice (Tomaj), Drums (Mauro) and bass (Mario) and continuing with this training for some years. then continuing in the form of a duo (vocals and drums) until 1989, when Hector comes as a bassist. Detriti were essentially a hardcore punk with a markedly distinctly free jazz. Music angular, frenetic, caused by improvised but composed and performed with rigorous technique, singing screaming fast or mumbled to the limit,…

2010 release ** Pete Wright and Martin Wilson from Crass.

2004 release ** Italian punk / new wave: Kaos Rock's first album from 1980, "a valid example of punk turned pop, fast and direct without frills yet stuffed with fast-catching melodies"."

2002 release ** "An oddity in Cramps production was the release in 1980 of a series of singles by seven Italian new-wave bands (Dirty Actions, Kandeggina Gang, Kaos Rock, Skiantos, Take Four Doses, Windopen, X-Rated) called "Rock 80". Most singles came on coloured vinyl and were subsequently collected on the "Rock 80" compilation." Seminal release for Italian punk / post-punk."

2013 release ** "The National Wake's lone 1981 album, is a startling rock & roll document. Recorded by a multi-racial band in an increasingly tense and radicalized South Africa between 1979 and 1981, it offers the country's spirit at the time through punk and post-punk as they met reggae and township funk in a collision of rhythm, energy, and melody. The album embodies the best elements of Gang of Four's Entertainment, the Pop Group's Y, and the Clash's Sandinista!, as well '70s-era rowdy townsh…

Long traded and coveted, discussed and debated, Propeller Product’s 1981 cassette compilation finally receives a physical release reflecting its original intention and aim. And this is its Boston origin story: a small collective with a DIY artistic bent, Propeller launched in 1981. Founded as a collaborative taking inspiration from Factory Records and the “pay no more” ethos of DischordRecords and CRASS, Propeller offers an unique window into Boston and the American post-punk underground. Led by…

* Edition of 300 * The South German punk and new wave band Familie Hesselbach caused a sensation between 1980 and 1985, first regionally and then nationwide. They indulged in a deliberate eclecticism from the musical preferences of the individual family members and formed these into their unmistakable sound. Disco, pop, punk, rap, no wave, funk, the main thing is danceable. The lyrics in German and Italian, later also in English - and always with a wink. Their trademarks were the rousing live qu…

This seminal, eponymous post-punk album by Japanese group Aunt Sally, fronted by experimental singer Phew, was first released by the iconic Vanity Records label in 1979. Over the past forty-plus years, Phew has forged a singular path through a wide range of styles - from free improvisation to pop - and has collaborated with the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, members of Can, DAF, Einstürzende Neubauten, The Raincoats and more. But Aunt Sally is where she got her start and, despite the members’ young…

"No Songs Name, No Band Members Name, No Contact, No Nothing!!!". Mysterious 10" released on French label Yakisakana

The legend of San Francisco’s Crime looms large among punk aficionados the world over. Formed in the mid-1970s, the band’s dual-guitar sound, confrontational image and sleazed methodology still serve as inspiration decades later. With only a handful of singles released during their active lifespan, Crime’s legacy grew significantly as archival recordings began to trickle out in the early 1990s. Of all these excavations, San Francisco’s Doomed was one of the first and certainly one of the most po…

**2019 stock** In 2008, at the Brussels flea market, Marco Laguna got his hands on a batch of 200 slides revealing the first wave of skateboarding in Belgium. Considering the relevance of these mysterious documents as well as the few (or not at all) unpublished images of this period (1977-1978) - witness of the appearance of the first skateparks, the first championships, the first Belgian boards, the creation of the league, etc. - he decides, with Fil Plastic, to spread this historical testimony…

**300 copies** Penultimate Press (UK) and Aimless Wander (Australia) present the debut album from Brisbane’s Pious Faults. With Old Thread this young Australian group have crafted a remarkably lucid and original vinyl debut. A sonic whirlwind of wonderfully deconstructed hardcore punk – songs stripped of inheritable form; leaping from stone to leaf to puddle in a unique, abstract manner.Pious Faults careen through nine tracks on this 45rpm 12″, balancing short, disaffected hardcore punk blasts w…

Ripped  & Torn: The UK’s Loudest Punk Fanzine is an anthology of one of the first punk zines. Tony Drayton began producing Ripped & Torn in Glasgow in 1976 and carried it into the next wave of punk, continuing long after others like Sniffing Glue had stopped. All of his seventeen issues are reproduced in this bound volume. By punks and for punks, Ripped  & Torn: The UK’s Loudest Punk Fanzine is a fascinating document of the punk subculture and a sacred text of DIY culture. “The mystery was: who …

** 250 copies ** "In 2017 we released the "Possession Sessions" LP (FTR 325LP) by this extraordinary Columbus, Ohio outfit. And while we wait for them to conjure up new fields of beautiful spew, we thought it might be a public service to make their first two EPs available as a single LP. "Flash Fuck" was released in 2013 by Tony Proccacino's visionary grunt-punk concern, A Wicked Company. "Vernacular Splatter" came out two years later on the great Columbus label, Superdreamer. Both of these reco…

San Francisco provocateurs Inflatable Boy Clams recorded one of the greatest all-female art punk records ever made, a wrongfully obscure five-song double 7-inch EP which has garnered a cult following ever since its initial release on Subterranean Records in 1981. While the music blends simple instrumentation and captivating, quirky lyrics, the artwork looks like an early Rough Trade single, complete with posh Winogrand-esque photo of the group.More of a performance art troupe than a traditional …

"Back when Thurston and I were working on our book about the New York No Wave scene, a key mystery we hoped to unravel was the one surrounding the band Jack Ruby. I knew George Scott had been in the band, along with Chris Gray, but we were never able to nail down any hard info. Lydia Lunch and Rudolph Grey both had blazing memories of their weirdness, originality and power, but no one could turn up anything solid. Time passed, the book came out and -- chuffed by the fact we'd name-checked th…

2013 repress. Exact repro vinyl version of the debut Richard Hell album, originally issued by Sire in 1977; 180 gram vinyl . "Hell formed the Voidoids, whose unwavering individualism kept the group out of the big time while producing a demanding and impressive corpus of work. 'I was saying let me out of here before I was even born.' That lyric sums up Hell's attitude, which he expanded and perfected on Blank Generation with a new version of the title track and such powerful statements as 'Love C…

"The Venom P. Stinger retrospective is on. One of the roughest groups of the '80s is back in print on vinyl and for the first time ever on CD, and still nice and hard and rough and wild on either format. File under: punk rock/noise rock/free-of-constraints rock. If you think of Venom P. Stinger simply as the proving ground for 2/3rds of the Dirty Three first, then you're seriously missing it, and fuck you. It was the mid-'80s and everything was going fine. The music underground was its ow…

The second volume of live Mars recordings from Feeding Tube. This one was recorded at the band's penultimate show, August 4, 1978, with spectral help from Rudolph Grey on the side-long take of "NN End." The quartet is at the full height of their power here, manipulating the language of tongue explosions both instrumentally and vocally. Recorded by Brian Eno, the sound is an advance from the galacto-fidelity of the Artists Space LP, and the performance is a staggering example of Mars in their…

'First reedition. Recorded in 1981. Originally released in 1982. Lydia Lunch: vocals, piano. Dix Denney: guitar. Greg Williams: bass. Cliff Martinez: drums, percussion. Digipack.'

This is the CD collection of all the long-unavailable Ramleh singles spanning the years 1990-1995, now reissued due to Ramleh's sprawling 6-page feature in The Wire (issue #305, July 2009). Ramleh's history goes back to the early '80s, when their brand of "power electronics" caused outrage, along with their contemporaries Whitehouse. Much has changed since then, and over the years, they developed a reputation as one of the leading exponents of UK "noise rock." Along with the likes of Skullflower…

RFTO Bandwagon have just released their first full-length LP entitled Dums Will Survive on Dull Knife Records this month. Coming latently on the heels of their excellent New Jack 7" on the same imprint from last spring, RFTO Bandwagon continue with their mark of gritty folk-pop, and often sway into the weirdo territory of the genre with songs the grip the edges of so many sounds, and yet stay held together with beautifully frayed strands of brilliant songwriting. The title track on the a-side (t…

Another eclectic rock/pop band out of the infamous Kansai scene that produced the Boredoms, Omoide Hatoba and more. This exciting young three piece unit based in Kyoto presents their debut recording after years of playing in just about every small club from Tokyo to Fukuoka. Visceral power pieces offset with charming female vocals, pointillism and dub effects. Striking originality and a childlike curiosity point this band towards a new Kyoto rock sound.
