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.

For the last two years, however, Fred has been busy writing and performing his own material. 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.

5. How To Get On Fire
6. Old Crow
Worcester, MA’s own Killing Pablo bring their first official release, this 6 song EP to 75orLess Records… just over 30 minutes of feedback laden anarchistic art rock. 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 in-between) to create a style that is both a contemplative reverb-drenched drone and ear-bleeding sonic terrorism.
Limited to 100 silkscreen copies on cd.
Staggering Statistics – Pixelated Ones & Zeros EP
75OL-001 Staggering Statistics – Pixelated Ones & Zeros EP CD
[sold out]
Track Listing
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 Autobiographer
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
75OL-002 A Passing Feeling – Self Titled EP CD
$7.00 S&H Included
Limited to 250 silkscreen copies on CD
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 game plan? 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.
