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.

Both write, sing, and play multiple instruments on the albums and on-stage. Courtney a former member of John Mellencamp’s band and classically trained vocalist; Benjamin a DIY, self-taught musician. Each had their own solo projects well underway when they met, but the pairing was an unmistakable success.

Let You Down Easy features appearances by Don Sanders (Medicine Ball), Dave Narcizo (Throwing Muses), Jeffrey Underhill (Velvet Crush), Eric Fontana, Sarah Lupo, and other Rhode Island musicians.

A PASSING FEELING’s debut LP and follow-up to the critically acclaimed self-titled EP (2005, 75orLess) 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).

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
75OL-011 Cowboy Steve K – ST EP CD
Limited to 50 silkscreen copies on cd.
$7.00 S&H Included
Track Listing
- It’s Raining Horses
- Cigarettes and Grits
- I’ve Got Some Gum
- Yankee Cowboy
- She’s a Truck
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.

Moonman is a small sample of the more than one hundred songs written and recorded during this fertile period. 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.

From the slow settling dust of PURPLE IVY SHADOWS comes THE ‘MERICANS, a Rhode island band based around the songs of Chris Daltry. Their first record, ‘MERICAN RECORDINGS, was recorded at home, on borrowed recording equipment on the west side of Providence. The sounds of this first record are the foundation of what Daltry’s songs are all about – rootsy folky moody pop songs about another way of seeing things. 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, Purple Ivy Shadows, The Feelies, CCR, Neko Case and Johnny Cash’s American Recordings, step right up.
