Has it really been two years since the last full-length release from this fever dream of a band? That’s what the calendar tells us, but we haven’t really been sure of anything since the last dose of quinine. Following in the footsteps of Everything Odder Than Everything Else, Fictional Syntax finds Crotchthrottle sinking even further into the morass that is “structured” music, embracing things like melody, rhythm, and occasionally even intelligible vocals. They still remain totally obtuse on the genre front, swerving from quasi-electronic shenanigans to fuzzy freakouts, sometimes within the same song. When asked “What the hell were you thinking?” by management, the band refused to elaborate in any legally binding format.
The first 25 copies sold will get a special gift, hand packaged by the band.

The Doll Eyes are a RI and Massachusetts based punk and bar band influenced by The Pixies, The Dead Boys, Social Distortion, Rancid, etc. The Great Runner Up, The Doll Eyes’ second album, sees a new dynamic within the band. Bass player Mike O’Shea steps up to share the songwriting and lead vocal mantle with guitarist Nate Shaw, both zooming in on the tales of flawed men and the world they inhabit. Guitar and lyric driven music with stark punk influence over the ever-steady drums of Gary Traylor, The Great Runner Up provides fist clenching, foot stomping rock and roll introspection.

A gifted guitarist and award-winning singer/songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island, Mark continues to add unique entries to the great American songbook and leads a variety of roots-rock bands. He spins tales about men who drink alone or hover over a lover. He sings stories about ghosts, midget wrestlers, walking in the woods, walking in the night, being remembered, just being alive and getting used to this. Like the character Travis Bickle, Mark will ‘play anytime and anywhere’ and sometimes he’ll show up alone with his guitar and sing for you whether you like it or not.

While no-one can be sure what happened in there, their supplies are rumored to have included seven crates of old issues of Creem and Reflex magazines, the collected writings of Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer, five Kraftwerk albums, fifty cases of pasta sauce, and ten pounds of dill pickles. As usual, no band members could be reached for comment.
Label limited to 25 copies. All label copies come with 9.5″ x 9.5″ poster.
Deadlands – self titled

Track Listing
- Never There
- Turned 2 Stone
- Cut and Paste Me
- Crossroads
- The Devil’s Playground
- Super Secret Plans
- Hotter Than Hell
Deadlands’ self-titled debut album, Deadlands, is the result of six months of Thursdays and the occasional Friday night. This is very much a rock and roll record. One foot firmly entrenched in murder ballad blues and the other dangling off the top of a burning office building; Deadlands weaves third person tales of deceit, insanity, and betrayal. And guess what? The guy always dies at the end. Always.

Crotchthrottle is an enigma wrapped in a mystery stuffed in a taco, and deep fried in inscrutability. Details on the precise band line-up and history are hazy, but Jeremy Withers (of The Inclined is somehow involved. Some have said that this is his attempt to cash in on the recent abstract noise-drone boy-band trend, while others claim he is a mere studio lackey controlled by the shadowy Heiemeier Axia. Whatever the facts may be, the music is clearly the product of a deranged mind (or possibly a malevolent hive-mind) bent on hypnotizing the youth of America with repetitive “motorik” rhythms, constantly shifting drones, odd song structures and studio-manipulated melodies.
