Six Star General releases their fifth album of all new material and seventh album overall. Recorded over two days in November with Scott Rancourt (The Masons, The diePods) at Summing Point Studios in Newport, half of the album had been recorded back in August but the masters went missing. Rather than focus on retrieving on the lost recordings, the band decided to re-record all the songs. Eleven tracks, including one instrumental and a cover of Cat Power’s “Metal Heart”. Influences include The Minutemen, Naked Raygun and Dinosaur Jr.

Mytty Archer – if I had a shovel

$8.00 S&H Included
Digital download is available here
This is debut album of Jen Turrell’s new band recorded over a 5 year period spanning 2 pregnancies and a number of appearances on albums with other hot rocking indie combos (Boyracer, Cheap Red, Possum Moods etc). At first, we all thought it sounded like the Breeders. We have since been told it sounds like “Boyracer with a chick singer”. More pronouced, raw and raucous than Jen’s solo material the songs are thick with emotion and dynamic. The band also includes Annah Winfield, (ex-Rabbit In Red), on bass and Stewart Anderson, (Boyracer, etc) on drums.

Blasting through 10 songs in under 20 minutes, Cincinnati’s The Spectacular Fantastic return from the outer edge of obscurity to bring listeners another hefty dose of twangy power pop goodness.

Returning to his roots, this album finds Detmer striking a delicate balance between down-home acoustic romps and fuzzed out pop psychedelia.

“Live” is the long awaited new CD from Rhode Island’s legendary punk band “Two Guys and Another Guy”. This exiting 16 track release showcases 9 of their classic songs with a remarkably high quality recording produced by Stumpy (Neutral Nation) and Rockin’ Rob George. Melodic riffs from guitar legend Jon Jones demonstrate his miraculous and long awaited return to form. With these songs, the band continues to build on their historic sound – they have been compared to the Replacements and Husker Du. The band’s “Dual Les Paul” attack has been described as “aggressive but not assaulting”. Two Guys and Another Guy continue to stand amongst their peers – Neutral Nation, Rash of Stabbings, That’ll Learn Ya, the Schemers, and the Jungle Dogs as one of Rhody’s all time favorite bands. With this new CD, “TGAAG” is back on the scene.

Baylies Band – Fort Thunder Flashback
75OL-080 Baylies Band – Fort Thunder Flashback CD
$7.00 S&H Included
Fort Thunder Flashback gets away from the band’s math and krautrock influences and back to it’s noise and experimental roots, a mix of instrumental improv with sound collages and noise. Previous releases have been described as “screeching down the track like a broken locomotive with their ugly riffs and diseased vocals, kind of like if Lemmy and Leslie West had gotten together and taken some really bad shit. Genius sound deconstruction, a reckless train of musical styles with flayed and reverb guitar noise, plunging off a cliff into a pit of explosives.” Featuring members of Temple Of Bon Matin and humans who have played with Arthur Doyle, members of the Stooges, Acid Mothers Temple, and Sun Ra.

New Bedford-based Mike Mountain is a five piece post-everything rock n’ roll band. The sound is composed of a blend of different rock styles and very abstract lyricism. Included in the six recorded tracks are unique and time sensitive descriptions of current events and moods that are captured with sounds and words. To get the most out of your Mike Mountain experience, pay very close attention and listen repeatedly until you can no longer tolerate the songs (if you ever could). Thank you for being a dedicated explorer of the musical pulse of the underworld. Influences include Mars, DNA, Landed, Faust, The Fall, Pil, Captain Beefheart, and the Jesus Lizard.

Hula Hoop where spawned from the same Ohio River water as Rodan, Palace Bros, Evergreen, King Kong and other Louisville contemporaries, but with a decidedly less obvious rock-ist stance due to their combined influences. After dozens of releases and two well received Peel sessions, bassist Rachel Grimes left to pursue the musical collective “Rachel’s” full time. This album contains songs written & recorded after her departure with the powerhouse trio of Eric Stoess (Hula Boy), Chuck Geisler and Stephen “Monkey Boy” Jones. A stellar collection of tasty Americana pop morsels mined from the musical coal of Echo & the Bunnymen, New Zealand pop/rock, Television, & The Fall.
Beautiful letter-pressed cover by Hound Dog Press. Edition of 150 copies split between 75orLess and 555 Records. All Vinyl LP’s also contains free download code.
