cholo, from Brooklyn NY, mix, garage, jazz-punk and melodic pop creating indie rock that is earnest, fresh and provacative. Paolo DeGregorio from buzz band magazine The Deli describes them as "...the best post-Pixies band I've ever heard". Felipe named the band in ode to his Peruvian roots but also from the identity crisis faced by first generation Latino-Americans. However, with members from Ireland, Guam, and exotic New Jersey, cholo pays tribute to the outsider perspective. In their sophomore release, UNLIMITED NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS, they are steps closer to authenticating a sound that will have people on the outside looking in.

In 2008, Suicide Bill and The Liquors' "A Little Bit....Burned?" is definitely worth five bucks. Never critically acclaimed, but often ashamed, the boys sometimes rock and sometimes acoustic through Bill's best collection of songs. Think part 80's Minneapolis, part 70's stadium, and part modern-day-quiet-complaining. $5.00= 16 growing older, hate the day-job, lonely, unsure anthems. A Suicidally Powerful Equation.....

After a decade spent as ghost detainees incarcerated at an undisclosed detention camp, the legendary and incendiary Followers return with an album hailed as "Un-American" and labeled "Subversive" by the Department of Homeland Security and the hegemonic Christian Coalition. Long feared confiscated or deleted under the auspices of the inestimable Patriot Act, the insurrectionary and vitriolic album dubbed 'Secret Handshake' finally makes its commercial debut. Admittedly an intractable reaction to animal vivisection, authoritarianism, and rampant fascism in America, and inspired to a great extent by psychotropic and flammable solvents, the release of the mercurial and vehement 10 track recording promises to deliver The Followers back into CIA hands to be remanded in Eastern Europe for another decade.

Recorded between April 1996 and May 1998 on a Tascam 4 track cassette and forgotten about, the five members of Güntaard have never all been in the same room at the same time but were all fueled by the same things- bong hits, failed relationships, and unemployment. Using traditional instruments such as guitars, bass, and keyboards as well as drum machines, screwdrivers on metal tables, tape loops, television sets, electronic toys with dying batteries, they recorded over 100 songs in this two year period. These recordings were recently discovered and transferred to cd. For fans of Ween, Trollin Withdrawal and Butthole Surfers.

A PASSING FEELING's debut LP and follow-up to the critically acclaimed self-titled EP (2005, 75 or Less) finds the band breaking new ground, with a grittier, darker, and more developed version of the hyper-pop sound they created one year ago. This is a record of unmatched life and intensity; Every track finds the band breathing and breaking down, spitting out an original combination of pop hooks and raucous pounding drums and guitars. This record was made to be chanted in basements across America. The lyrics reflect the dirtier parts of early twenties life - drinking, driving, bliss, heartache and everything else in between. Produced by Mark Ospovat (Wooden Wand, Parts and Labor, Meneguar).

Includes appearances by JOEL THIBODEAU of DEATH VESSEL and STRING BUILDER, former PURPLE IVY SHADOWS member WILL RICE and MARGIE WIENK on upright bass. Fans of GILLIAN WELCH, Son Volt, VARNALINE, THE FEELIES, CCR, PURPLE IVY SHADOWS, Neko Case and Johnny Cash's AMERICAN RECORDINGS, step right up.

In 2005, Providence, RI's Lame Drivers secretly released The Captain Amazing EP - five hook-filled and fuzzed out songs conceived in a New Jersey basement, developed in Providence, and messily birthed onto a handful of CD-Rs. Then they went on hiatus. Now they're back with this reissue of their debut EP plus five bonus tracks. Lame Drivers make DIY punk-informed pop rock inspired by the unpredictable eclecticism of freeform radio. Such classic, vital tunes are hard to come by these days. Not far removed from GBV, Replacements, Hüsker Dü, The Zeros, Elvis Costello, The Capstan Shafts.

Cowboy Steve K - ST EP


Hand Silkscreened Limited Edition of 50


PAYPAL $4.00 S&H Included


US CAN International


Track Listing

  1. It's Raining Horses
  2. Cigarettes and Grits
  3. I've Got Some Gum
  4. Yankee Cowboy
  5. She's a Truck

It is 2006, and Cowboy Steve K returns to the scene with a deeper understanding of life's blessings, fragilities and wonders. Once an 80's rock devotee, he now distills his musings through the rubric of country song. Some say his songs are like a bar room sing-along without the chorus. A critic once penned that Cowboy Steve K reminded him of a drunk version of Rain Man. These wide-ranging perspectives illustrate the dichotomy that is Cowboy Steve K: half troubadour, half versifier, and half true. And that ain't half bad.

Half-electric and half-acoustic, the songs on Moonman have drawn comparisons to The Replacements, Tom Waits, Meat Puppets, The Clash, Firehose, and Bob Dylan.

Recorded with George Dussault at Galilee Studios, Pop Songs For Assholes mixes together a myriad of influences (Dinosaur Jr, Mogwai, Lightning Bolt, the MC5, Glenn Branca and everything inbetween) to create a style that is both a contemplative reverb-drenched drone and ear-bleeding sonic terrorism.

  1. Wet Book Of Matches
  2. Disastrous Leanings
  3. All Fall Down
  4. Hope You Don't Mind
  5. Pixelated Ones & Zeros
  6. Lookout Cartographer Autobiographerv

Pixelated One & Zeros is the Staggering Statistics second release. The Staggering Statistics began as a three-piece rock band from Cincinnati, OH. Bassist John Curley was a founding member of the Afghan Whigs and owns Cincinnati's Ultrasuede recording studio. Austin Brown is a prolific songwriter and musician who played in dozens of bands from Houston to Seattle before arriving in Cincinnati and joining dozens more, many at the same time. Joe and Austin had worked together at Kaldi's on Main in the late 1990's. During that time, they composed and recorded music in Joe's downtown apartment.


The band were 2005's Best New Artist at the recent CEA (Cincinnati's Entertainments Awards).


Frontman Austin Brown's laconic voice and tales of the hard life hit even harder when paired with this Cincy trio's bluesy, sinuous raucous, marked by a rhythm section that could anchor a battleship. The melodic shagginess of early Pavement often comes to mind, yet SS possess a genuinely dark undercurrent that's entirely their own.

A Passing Feeling - Self Titled EP


Special Hand Silkscreened Edition of 250


PAYPAL $4.50 S&H Included


US CAN International


Track Listing

  1. Book of Matches
  2. Probably
  3. Box Wine
  4. Michigan Seems like a Dream to Me Now
  5. Bring on December

This is the soundtrack to bloody knuckles. This is indie-punk. These are the hearts and souls of four young men from New York. This is "A PASSING FEELING", or "How to Never Sleep Ever". A PASSING FEELING formed in May of 2005. One part the bare-bones youthfulness of early Guided By Voices and the Thermals, another the floor-punching intensity of their post-punk contemporaries, and half straight whiskey, A PASSING FEELING is the east coast's answer to whatever shit the west coast is talking. The gameplan? Put out records, hit the road, and stay hungry. The dress code for any A PASSING FEELING show? Simply this, as always: bring the phlegm, kill the lights and there will be blood, sweat and booze to go around.
