“The session Allysen recorded for us features three of her own songs and one traditional song ‘Blackwaterside‘ which she first heard Anne Briggs performing. The session also marks a new direction for Allysen on which she intertwines her love of psychedelic and trad folk. Her friend Bob Kendall recorded her in his shed one snowy evening. I think you’ll all agree that this session is simply magical, she never disappoints and always leaves you wanting more.” – Alex Gallacher Founder Folk Radio UK

2014 warms up with “Faceless Angels,” the latest from Cranston’s Deadlands. Murder/apocalypse blues that you can tap your toes to. A good chunk of the album was recorded live at Plan of a Boy. Hot guitars and cool dead dames, where no one is guilty and no one plays innocent (very well).

Mark Cutler’s new record Dreamland is a collection of songs recorded in a little room in his little house and features some guest appearances by his good friends Jim Berger, Rick Couto, Richard Reed and Bob Kirkman. It’s an intimate record that you might enjoy with headphones but feel free to blast the stereo. It’s also the first record he’s done since he quit his day job to pursue a life outside of the rat race. Dreamland features songs about every day life and every night life and the times in between.
Rhode Island guitar slinger/songwriter Mark Cutler’s latest release is called “Dreamland”. It’s an apt title for the followup to last year’s critically acclaimed and award winning “Sweet Pain” (both available from 75orLess, iTunes, etc.). Along with sparse touches of accompaniment from his excellent live band The Men of Great Courage, MC plays most of the instruments himself this time around. Recorded at his home studio- just down the hall from his bedroom- dreamlike qualities abound, in the title cut, in songs like “I’ll Play For You”, “Soul Flame” and “You’re Gonna Need My Help”, to name but four. Like the mixed memories and visions of wonderful recurring dreams you wish you’d have more often, instruments, lyrics, harmonies and riffs intermingle in ways both familiar and surprising. And, like a dream you can’t quite get out of your head all day, the rustic surrealism of this “Dreamland” will stay with you long after your ear buds are slipped into a pocket.- DR
CD is limited to 200 numbered, brown and white jackets with screen print design

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.

‘Sweet Pain’ continues the return of Mark Cutler as a solo artist with the help of many gifted friends including Eric Ambel (Del Lords, Steve Earle, Joan Jett) co-producers, Jack Gauthier and Emerson Torrey. 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.

According to reports from the field, members of Crotchthrottle locked themselves in a bunker for five months to rehearse before recording their latest psych noise rock quasi-instrumental release, Everything Odder Than Everything Else. 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.

$6.00 S&H Included
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.
