The ITR logo - white on a red shirt.
We have dusted off the very first In The Red logo we ever had and put it on a swank new t-shirt. Designed by Chris "COOP" Cooper back in 1991 before we'd ever released a record and before Chris became famous for launching a thousand devil girls, checkered flags and hot rodding monsters. It was only used on the first five singles ITR released. Print is black and red on a white t-shirt.
ITR struck an agreement to release this totally bad ass t-shirt as an exclusive on our website and the band's merch table. Featuring the totally cool cover art of Slaughterhouse by Tatiana Kartomten on the front and the band's name (also by Tatiana) on the back. White ink on black shirt. |
CHEAP TIME - Exit Smiles LP/CD
Nashville's Cheap Time are back with the fourth and definitely best album, Exit Smiles. Jeffrey Novak's trademark snotty vocals and the band's amalgamation of punk, post-punk, glam and pop have never sounded better or more fully realized. Exit Smiles proves this band is one of the top shelf current American rock n' roll bands. First 300 LPs on red vinyl.
ENDLESS BUMMER - Ripper Current - 7" EP
Lance Barresi and Liz Tooley are the co-founders of Permanent Records, which means they're responsible for releasing and reissuing a whole mess of awesome music. (They also run some excellent record stores in L.A. and Chicago.) Now, they've rechristened themselves Lance and Liz Bummer, and together with Greg Bummer (of the Spits and MERX), they're the punk trio Endless Bummer. With their debut record, they churn out dark-hued rock'n'roll with frayed edges and plenty of intimidation. Their Ripper Current EP was recorded by Ty Segall —the first material made in his new backyard studio the Sweat Lodge—and it's an awesome slab of sludgy punk. First 200 on color vinyl in silk-screened, numbered sleeves.
EASTLINK - Angel Gun / Ansett - 7" single
Eastlink is a section of freeway in the suburbs of Melbourne Australia. Eastlink is also a band from Melbourne Australia who deliver a blown-out, three guitar assault that combines equal parts riff-fueled rock and noise-fucked psych. If it makes the band of any more interest to you (and I know it does), East Link features members of such notable Asstralian flag-bearers as Total Control, UV Race, Repairs, Lakes, Straightjacket Nation, Interzone, Teargas, etc. Really, they are just a fk'n great band. Watch for their debut album in 2014 here on ITR! First 200 on color vinyl.
AUTODRAMATICS - Reaction LP
The Autodramatics are back with their second album! Ten brand new barn-burners that mix primitive garage with girl-group back up vocals. Featuring Andy "guy" Caffrey on guitar and vocals. Great shit!
FUZZ - s/t LP/CD
Debut album from this heavy rock trip featuring Ty Segall and Charlie Moothart. Eight brand new pummeling tracks guaranteed to devastate.
PAMPERS - s/t LP/CD
Debut album from this brutal four piece from Brooklyn. Gnarly, pummeling, blown-out and blasted punk rock that is totally unrelenting. You will hate yourself if you sleep on this one! First 200 on green vinyl. This is a pre-order and will not ship until mid October.
TV GHOST - Disconnect double LP/CD
Third album from this dark and twisted bunch from Indiana. Their previous efforts were jarring and frantic but Disconnect finds the band in a more atmospheric and hypnotic place. The band's eerie and chilling aspects are still in tact and their song writing has never been better. It's as if they've shed their No Wave abrasiveness in favor of Krautrock rhythms and post punk ambience. Great stuff! First 200 on yellow vinyl.
THE URINALS - Negative Capability double LP
Available for the first time on vinyl, Negative Capability collects every known recording (31 songs) by the seminal LA art punk trio. This double LP comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve. First 200 copies are on red vinyl. Essential! Ships the first week of August.
THE AXE-MEN - Sac Tap Nut Jam LP
Our friends at Spacecase Records return with another stellar release. This time it's a new full length from New Zealand's legendary Axe-Men. Recorded in early 2013 in Christchurch, Sac Tap Nut defies categorization - there's Beatles/Dylan pop, post punk and avant garde weirdness. 500 were pressed, 100 of which are on gold vinyl. We got the gold!!
THE DIRTBOMBS - Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-Blooey LP/CD
The Dirtbombs are back with their long threatened bubblegum album and they totally nail their target. Songs about sunshine, candy and love. While still sounding very much like the Dirtbombs, this record owes it sound to the likes of the Archies, 1910 Fruitgum Company and the Ohio Express. Ships the first week of August.
BARE MUTANTS - The Affliction LP/CD
New band out of Chicago fronted by former Ponys vocalist, Jered Gummere. The Affliction is a low-key, sombre album featuring thick organ, space echo swells, and heavy tambourine. Their sound harkens to the avant minimalism of The Velvet Underground while drawing wider influence from a range of classic 80’s 4AD bands and beyond. This is great stuff! Firt 200 copies on brown vinyl. Ships the first week of August.
THE OBLIVIANS - Desperation LP/CD
Pre-order!! Ships May 24. ITR is proud to announce the release of the first studio full length album from The Oblivians since 1997! Desperation picks up right where the band left off, delivering fourteen scorching tracks of soulful punk-garage-blues trash rock informed in equal parts by 50s rock n roll, 60s garage rock, Memphis soul, Delta blues and Killed By Death-style punk. There s even a Cajun Zydeco cover here! As Greg Oblivian puts it, Between our last record as a band in 97 and now, a lot of water has passed below that bridge. We three went our own ways after that and pursued our own musical goals. Personally, I often missed the dynamic that Jack and Eric offered to my songwriting. Almost as much as I missed being given carte blanche to add a thing or two to theirs. I ve played with lots of great musicians in the interim but needless to say, it s a hard itch to scratch. The first 200 on color vinyl. LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
KID CONGO & the Pink Monkey Birds - Haunted Head LP/CD
Pre-order!! Ships May 24.Waking from a nap in the swamps of outer space, Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds ride a geisterbahn into the hypnagogic, a place between sleep and consciousness also known as the Haunted Head. Haunted Head is the third LP the quartet has oozed out for In The Red. Legendary guitar stylist Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) and longtime cohorts bassist Kiki Solis (Knife in the Water), drummer Ron Miller (Up The Academy) and guitarist Jesse Roberts (Sandrider, The Ruby Doe) take matters into their own mitts by having Roberts engineer and Miller mix the record at the now well-known Harveyville Project High School in Kansas. With The Pink Monkey Birds cocktail of fuzz guitars, New Orleans drum beats, soulful strut bass lines and sonic ambrosia at its most potent, Haunted Head offers the purest distillation of the group s powers. The trip of your dreams includes the cheap and tawdry in a tribute to dearly departed actress Susan Tyrell ( Su Su ), the morphing of Jerry Lee Lewis with Phyllis Diller ( Killer Diller ) and the plain ol insanity of romantic love ( Dance Me Swamply ). The band also tells you how they like the mondos and the cholos and the weirdos and he freaks on the rollicking Let s Go! and how they don t like neocons in square back suits and throwing up in a dirty phone booth on the punky proclamation I Don t Like. I mean, who does? On the album s title ballad, Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds ask the listener What s inside your Haunted Head? Are you alive or are you dead? Are you kissing and a huggin ? Are you pushin and a shoving? Perhaps only in dreams could you answer such a question. The first 200 on color vinyl.
UV RACE - Autonomy & Deliberation LP
Pre-order!! Ships May 24.We are proud to announce this vinyl-only re-press of the UV Race's "Autonomy & Deliberation" soundtrack album. Originally pressed by the band in a very small edition for the premiere of the film, we have decided to do another small pressing which will be available only here on the ITR site or through the band. The music is a little more adventurous on this LP, though they still have their garage punk punk moves. Acoustic tracks and some more experimental tracks which seem to take their cue from 'LA Blues' or the 'VU'. First 100 on color vinyl. View trailer for the film here.
WAY TO GO, GENIUS - s/t LP
Excellent self-released straight up punk rock with no bullshit 45 RPM LP from our friend Eric "The Arm" Hurst's new outfit. Pagans by way of Heartbreakers with a can of whoop ass dumped on top. Comes in handsome hand-made colorable sleeves complete with crayons! If you sleep on this friends will be saying, "way to go, genius".
TALBOT ADAMS - Red Diamonds / Not Even Europe - 7" single
A new single from our friends at Spacecase Records. This single from Talbot Adams (formerly of the Royal Pendletons, Dutch Masters and the Black & Whites) features two exclusive tracks in which Talbot plays all the instruments. Excellent singer/song writer power pop. Edition of 300.
AUTODRAMATICS - Emotional Static LP
Debut thirteen track album from Cedar Rapids, IA trash/blues/garage/punk rock band featuring Andy "Guy" Caffrey of The Horrors (the ITR band - not the UK band). Self released, limited and essential!
JOHN WESLEY COLEMAN - Whisper Mountain / Everything's Gone Grey - 7" single
Our friends at Spacecase Records have a brand new single from the prolific John Wesley Coleman and we're happy to be selling it. Whisper Mountain" b/w "Everything's Gone Grey" finds Coleman continuing in his lo-fi ways (the B side was recorded in a kitchen), this time backed up by his new group: bassist Geena Spigareli and drummer Yamal Said.
THE INTELLIGENCE w/ KELLEY STOLTZ - (They Found Me In The Back Of) The Galaxy / Lake Of Dracula - 7" single
Released as a preview for the band's upcoming "Everybody's Got It Easy But Me" album, The Intelligence team up here with SF singer / multi-instrumentalist Kelley Stoltz on the A side and an otherwise unreleased track on the B side. Both sound like classic Intelligence.
CC RIDERS - s/t LP
Spacecase Records shows impeccable taste in issuing this 11 song monster in a limited vinyl edition of 500. CC Riders were Jeffrey Evans, James Arthur, Jay Reatard and Alicja Trout. This is raw roots blow-out music to the max! Originally released as a CD-R on Contaminated in 2001. It's great to have it on the vinyl format. Essential!
TY SEGALL & MIKAL CRONIN - Reverse Shark Attack LP/CD
Originally issued on the Kill Shaman label in 2009 and long out of print, In The Red is happy to announce it's re-release. An incredible shambolic 10-track delight of psychedelic garage jams. This is a must have release for fans of these two artists, and nothing like either of their projects have done before. LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
THE TRADITIONAL FOOLS - s/t LP/CD
The Traditional Fools were a garage-punk-thrash-surf trio consisting of Ty, Andrew Luttrell and David Fox. They recorded and released their lone album back in 2008 – it sold out quickly and has never been re-pressed until now. Recorded live in the studio, Traditional Fools is low on fidelity and high in energy. The band’s sound is a perfect combination of 60’s garage, vintage surf reverb and early LA punk performed with trashy reckless abandon.
JEFFREY NOVAK - Baron in the Trees LP
At long last we are proud to announce the second solo album from Jeffrey Novak. While best known for his music with his band Cheap Time, his solo work is very much a different beast. Leaving behind the guitar driven, punk influences of his primary band in favor of keyboards and strings. Flashes of Ray Davies, Kevin Ayers and Harry Nilsson abound. Baron In The Trees is also noteworthy for being one of the last projects the late Jay Reatard worked on (he recorded, produced and plays on the album). Limited edition vinyl-only.
TYVEK - On Triple Beams LP/CD
Incredible third album from this great Detroit band. On Triple Beams is 10 new scorching tracks sure to please anyone already familiar with this band and a great place to start for the uninitiated. Picking up where the blistering proto-hardcore of the Nothing Fits record left off, but doesn't tarry long in familiar zones. The melodies on this record open up into a much more spacious musical headspace than Tyvek has found in the past. Essential! LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
THE LAMPS - Under The Water Under The Ground LP/CD
Positively pulverizing third album from Los Angeles' Lamps makes all their previous recordings sound subtle by comparison. This is one gnarly listen that should not be missed but is definitely not for the faint of heart. To quote recording genius Chris Woodhouse, who produced this latest Lamps record, "the Lamps sound like a goddamn oil rig fire! I just turn the mics on and get the hell out of the way".
UV RACE - Racism LP/CD
Racism is the third full length from Melbourne's UV Race and it may be their finest yet. Following up last years Homo album, Racism contains all the squalls of conflicted noise, blunt and brutal drumming, stream-of-consciousness rants, paranoiac repetition and shambling detuned aggression you've come to expect from the band. And if you're unfamiliar with the band and don't have any expectations of them it is definitely time to change that. This is great stuff!
JAMES ARTHUR / ALICJA TROUT - split 7in single
Our good friends at Spacecase Records had the good taste to put out a split single with two of our very favorite musicians - James Arthur and Alicja Trout. Pressed in an edition of 500. Great stuff!!
THEE OH SEES - Putrifiers II LP/CD
In a rare move for the band, Thee Oh Sees have only released only one album in the year 2012 (so far anyway) and it's a REALLY good one! Ten new tracks from John Dwyer and company that go everywhere from crazy psych-pop, heavy garage rock jams, baroque ballads and Velvety moods. Vinyl comes in an awesome die cut jacket. No color vinyl limited edition on this one.
TY SEGALL BAND - Slaughterhouse double 10"/CD
In The Red is proud to announce the debut release by the Ty Segall Band! Slaughterhouse marks the first time that Ty's touring band (made up of Ty, Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart and Emily Rose Epstein) have collaborated on and recorded a record and the results are a totally heavy exercise is rock n' fuzz destruction. Ten tracks that destroy plus an epic 10 minute Fuzz War. The Ty Segall Band are dominating! Vinyl comes as a double 10" in a handsome gatefold sleeve.
TIMMY'S ORGANISM - Raw Sewage Roq LP/CD
In 2010 Timmy’s Organism released their debut album, “Rise Of The Green Gorillas” on Sacred Bones, which was basically Vulgar solo recordings. For Raw Sewage Roq it’s the full band pounding the kind of wacked-out sci-fi inspired skuzzy skronk anyone familiar with Timmy’s oeuvre would expect or hope for. With Raw Sewage Roq, Timmy jettisons some of the avant, jazzy Beefheartian leanings of Human Eye in favor of a more direct, straight-ahead approach that owes more to KBD punk, Alice Cooper style glam and Hawkwind. That said, “straight-ahead” by Timmy Vulgar standards is still pretty damned unhinged. You will hate yourself if you sleep on this one!!
THE INTELLIGENCE - Everybody's got It Easy But Me LP/CD
Brand new album from the Intelligence and quite possibly their best yet. Thirteen brand new tracks. Catchy songs, pop hooks, metronomically repetitive guitar riffs, new wavey synth moves, Woodhouse production, and guest appearances from member of Thee Oh Sees and Shannon & the Clams. YES, you do need this.
THE LASTERS - Minimum Viable Product 7in single
Several years ago we were proud to be the sole distributor of the debut single by the awesome Southern Californian punk purveyors The Lasters. Well they're back with another new one and it's their best one yet. This four song EP is a wonderful blast of misanthropy perfect for a night of getting drunk and playing 45s. Pressed in a numbered edition of 200.
THE JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION - Jukebox single #6
Gadzooks / Tell Me That You Love Me Nearly twenty years after we released the first single in this series, ITR is proud to announce the release of number six in the incredible Jon Spencer Blues Explosion jukebox single series. Two brand new songs - one original and one James Brown cover. Comes in a plain white sleeve and includes a jukebox title strip. Goddamn good shit!
CHEAP TIME - Wallpaper Music LP/CD
Nashville's Cheap Time return with their third album and it's their best one yet. Attitudinal punk moves and pop-damaged glam jams - this is their most realized, cohesive record to date.Housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.
THE CONSUMERS - All My Friends Are Dead LP
Recorded in 1977 and not released until 1995 on ITR, The Consumers' "All My Friends Are Dead" is a thug punk classic. Out of print on vinyl for 15 years, we are proud to announce this vinyl re-issue of the classic album. Newly remastered with expanded gatefold packaging. The first 200 on white vinyl.
WOUNDED LION - IVXLCDM LP/CD
The second full length by Los Angeles's Wounded Lion not only dodges the "sophomore slump", it pummels its older sibling into the ground. While the Lion's debut was no slouch by anyone's (except for someone so utterly clueless they take their musical cues from Pitchfork) gauge, IVXLCDM is leaner, harder and tougher than its predecessor without sacrificing any of the smarts and nuance of their debut. Recorded/produced by Chris Woodhouse, a name you'll be seeing around this website a lot if we have our say.
THEE OH SEES - Carrion Crawler / The Dream LP/CD
Yet another new full length release from Thee Oh Sees and this one, yet again, very different from their last. Castlemania was largely recorded at home by John Dwyer with input from band mates, while this one is a full band recording done in the studio helmed by (GENIUS!) Chris Woodhouse. The results are stunning. According to John Dwyer, "As I'm sure most would agree, Castlemania was more of a vocal tirade. This one's meant to pummel and throb." Trust us, this is ESSENTIAL!
THE SPITS - self-titled fifth album LP/CD
At long last the wait is over. The Spits' fifth full length studio album is here and it does not disappoint. 12 new tracks of space age mutant punk rock that will kick your ass.
MARK SULTAN - Whatever I Want LP
This past year Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) holed up in his apartment in Montreal and wrote and recorded a TON of new material. In The Red felt there was no choice but to release it all. Well, most of it. We are proud to announce that we are dropping TWO brand new Mark Sultan albums at the same time.With some help from his friends (Dan from The Gories, Jared & Cole from the Black Lips, Erin from the Spits, Choyce from Red Mass to name a few) Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want contain some of the best jams this man has ever recorded.

The first 200 on each LP are on blue vinyl. Hooray!

JAMES ARTHUR'S MANHUNT - It's Working 7"
James Arthur (former member of the Necessary Evils and Golden Boys, to name but two) has been rattling ear drums with his newest combo, JA's Manhunt) for several years now. On this latest single the band is channeling some serious Hawkwind vibes with one song stretched over both sides of the single. Dense, wild and excellent. Edition of 500.
THEE CORMANS - Halloween album w/ Sound Effects LP
In the grand tradition of the Deadly Ones and Frankie Stein 7 his Ghouls, southern California instrumental combo Thee Cormans have opted for their debut album to celebrate the only holiday that matters - Halloween. The band's Davie Allan & the Arrows meets the Ventures on meth sound is peppered with spooky sound effects, screams and monster sounds. Comes in a glow-in-the-dark sleeve (that doesn't seem to work) with a poster. This record is not for sissies.
BLACK LIPS - Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo LP
Recorded live at a particularly wild show in Tijuana. Incredible!
BLACK LIPS - Good Bad Not Evil LP
The Lips' fourth studio album and one of their finest. Comes in handsome gatefold sleeve.
BLACK LIPS - 200 Million Thousand LP
The band's fifth studio album. Darker and denser that it's predecessor with some crazy psych moves. Comes in a bad-ass gatefold sleeve.
KID CONGO & THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS - Gorilla Rose LP/CD
Kid Congo is back with his long awaited follow up to his incredible Dracula Boots album and it does not disappoint. Thirteen tracks of ram-charged boogaloo that's raw, rocking and slightly subversive. Kid Congo recites the names of various fruit and manages to make it sound lewd and lascivious. This is absolutely essential stuff. You'll hate yourself if you miss it!
THEE OH SEES - Castlemania Double LP/CD
Thee Oh Sees are back again with this brand new full length. By John Dwyer's own description, Castlemania is the band's "summery poppy" album. Castlemania finds the band introducing more baroque instrumentation to gild their swirling attack. The vinyl is comes in a beautiful, colorful gatefold sleeve that houses this three sided double LP. The fourth side features an etching. Very swank indeed.
TV GHOST - Mass Dream LP/CD
The follow up this band's Cold Fish album finds them at the peak of their powers delivering their strongest most cohesive effort to date. Mass Dream retains all the mania of their previous releases but has a clarity that highlights the band's strengths like never before. The youngest and weirdest band on ITR.....and one of the best!
KID KONGO & THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS - Tahitian Holiday LP
We are proud to announce the release of yet another internet-only release by Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds with this live LP available exclusively here.

UV RACE - Homo LP/CD
The sophomore full length from Australia's UV Race is an exercise in ramshackle, discordant, noisy, experimental fuzz punk. This should please fans of everything from KBD style punk to Krautrock to DIY post-punk. Essential stuff.
DAVILA 666 - Tan Bajo LP/CD
D
The follow up to the self-titled debut album from Puerto Rico's favorite rock n' roll band is here and it does not disappoint. Tan Bajo is more rocking and more psychedelic than it's predecessor and has more hooks than a tackle box. Essential stuff! LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
THE DIRTBOMBS Party Store triple 12" / CD

TYVEK Nothing Fits LP/CD
The second album from this incredible Detroit band finds them at their most aggressive and intense yet. Punk rock this blistering is hard to come by these days so you'd be an idiot not to buy this. Trust me.
CHEAP TIME Fantastic Explanations (and Similar Situations) LP/CD
Second album from Nashville's Cheap Time is a huge leap forward from their excellent debut. Playful, hooky and glamtastic, while less pop-punk and bubblegum than their first album, Fantastic Explanations is like going from Incredible Shrinking Dickies to Woofer In Tweeters Clothing in one move. A must have.
DEMON'S CLAWS The Defrosting Of... LP/CD
The new album from Montreal's Demon's Claws finds Jeff Clarke and company at their countrified best. More laid back and hooky than Satan's Little Pet Pig, The Defrosting Of... delivers on the promise of songs like Hunting on 49 and That Old Outlaw. For fans of Gun Club, early Stones and Black Lips.
THE INTELLIGENCE Males LP/CD
Males is the sixth full-length release from Seattle, Washington's The Intelligence. This time, main-brain Lars Finberg ditched his usual method of recording all the instruments himself and had his current touring band play on it -- Susannah Welbourne, Beren Ekine Huett (Eat Skull) and Chris Woodhouse (Mayyors, FM Knives, Karate Party), who also served as the record's producer. Males is The Intelligence's finest statement to date.
THE SPITS S/T IV LP

WOUNDED LION S/T LP/CD
Singles on SS, Gilgongo and ITR have made this debut album from Los Angeles' Wounded Lion a highly anticipated one and this incredible record delivers the goods. Scrappy, poppy, joyous, silly, deadpan and sincere. With a sound that's fresh, despite celebrating everything from the Velvets to The Clean, with some CCR thrown in for good measure. Incredible stuff!
THE STRANGE BOYS Be Brave LP/CD
The sophomore release from this ramshackle Austin, TX rock n' roll combo. Essential!

This single is further proof that this man is one of the finest singers and song writers in the biz right now. Watch for a new Mark Sultan solo LP on In The Red in 2010.
THE BLACK JASPERS s/t LP
The Black Jaspers are King Khan (King Khan & BBQ, Shrines, ect, ect) and Jasper Hood (Moorat Fingers) getting together for an exercise in lowest common denominator, lowest fidelity punk stupidity imaginable. The Black Jaspers have been playing on and off since 2000 but are only just now getting around to releasing some of their recordings. This debut album was recorded in 2001 and has sat in King Khan's vaults aging like a fine wine ever since. Not until now has the King decided to unleash this record on the public. Twelve tracks of retardation inspired by the likes of the Angry Samoans, Electric Eels, Mentally Ill, and any of the dumbest Killed By Death tracks you care to name.
The KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW Invisible Girl LP/CD
The latest album from the dynamic duo of punk-doo wop-garage-psychedelia. Twelve new instant classics.

TV GHOST Cold Fish LP/CD
The debut full-length album from Lafayette, Indiana creepers TV Ghost who usher in a vile and squalid new disposition to ugly art punk, and have carved out a black hole of pestilence that will delight its sufferers to no end. If you can swim through the murky grime long enough to let your frazzled senses adjust, it's clear how effectively TV Ghost incorporates the licentious nuances of the earliest Cramps scuzz, No Wave cacophony and Suicide's terrifying throb alongside cavernous bellows from the depths of the third layer of hell.

The final release from one of the best bands In The Red ever had the honor of working with is this vinyl-only LP sold exclusively here on our website and at the band's final shows in June of 2009.

KID CONGO & THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS Dracula Boots CD
Dracula Boots marks ex-Cramps guitarist Kid Congo's return to the Psychedelic Jungle from which he came. Kid comes back to his roots as a crackerjack guitarist playing the primitive music that inspired him; the raw sounds of garage and early Chicano rock. The original songs on DRACULA BOOTS go from loud, fuzzy biker rock to a greasy rump shaker groove, from a scary movie soundtrack to The Meters having an acid flashback. This collection also boasts incredible cover versions of Thee Midniters and Bo Diddley to boot.
THE STRANGE BOYS And Girls Club LP/CD
The debut album from Austin's Strange Boys is finally here and is guaranteed no to disappoint. 16 tracks in 35 minutes. The Strange Boys blend Nuggets garage, punk, R&B, blues and country without getting pinned down by any one of those styles. This is great stuff!
THE HUNCHES Exit Dreams LP/CD
Finally the long awaited third album from Portland's Hunches has arrived and it's by far their best album yet. Already described by Uncut magazine as "cubist punks who sound like a drunken Ramones who have over-dosed on The Fall, Pavement and Philip Glass" and Mojo magazine says " a rollercoaster of candied noise that recalls the Flaming Lips at their most lunatic/inspired". This is about as good as it can possibly get. LP NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
SUBMARINE RACES Hard To Look At - Easy To See LP w/ free CD
The sophomore release from Ian Adams' (ex Ponys) band is an even more rocking affair than their debut. Crafting clever pop tunes with 12 string jangle and 60's beat sensibilities. Heavily informed by Monochrome Set, The Easybeats and 60's girl groups. Great stuff!
THE MYSTERY GIRLS Incontinopia LP/CD
The long awaited and long delayed third album from Green Bay's Mystery Girls is finally a reality and it's their best yet. A hard rocking psych-garage-punk-blues classic for all times!
VIVIAN GIRLS s/t LP/CD
The debut album by Brooklyn's Vivian Girls was released this past summer on Mauled By Tigers records in a vinyl-only edition of 500. It sold out in a week. In The Red is proud to present the re-mastered reissue. This ten song album is an instant noise-pop masterpiece that is an irresistible mix of 60's girl groups, UK shoegaze, post punk and punk. Debuts don't get much better than this!
BLACK TIME Double Negative CD
London's Black Time return here on their third and best album to date. Combining the fractured, art-damaged scree of their singles with the trebly garage punk of their two albums, Black Time outdo themselves here and turn in their most fully realized release to date. Like a mutant cross between Messthetics and Back From The Grave compilations, this is awesome stuff!
THE DIRTBOMBS Ultraglide In Black LP/CD
For their second album, Detroit’s Dirtbombs have dusted off a batch of 60’s and 70’s soul songs from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, JJ Barnes and Phil Lynott (as well as one lone original) and given them the fuzzed-out Dirtbomb treatment. The result is the most danceable instant classic to come down the pike in many a moon. Essential!
LILI Z. - The Two Of Us LP
After her previous achievements with VOLT, the SPLASH FOUR, the NO-TALENTS, and her previous collection of home tapes, LILI Z. is coming back with 15 new 8-track cassette living room recordings. Twisted into shapes that very vaguely resemble seam-bursting garage punk (whatever that means today), the numbers' charms (13 original songs and reworkings with LILI Z. lyrics of a BELA BARTOK piece and an old RONDOS chestnut) lie in their unpredictability. Sometimes it's a little late 70s punk rock, sometimes it's catchy metronome-like electropunk, sometimes it's pure guitar noise freakouts and sometimes it's experimental tooling around. But most of all it's pure LILI Z., recorded at home at her most intimate. Working as a sort of LILI Z. musical diary "The Two of Us" comes with a stunning full color Gatefold cover of Lili's collages and meticulous illustrations for each song. Vinyl edition of 1000.
DAVILA 666 - S/T CD
Puerto Rico's premiere rock n' roll band has turned in a debut not to be missed. This is as solid a rock n' roll album as you're likely to hear all year. Their influences range from the obvious Stones/Stooges/punk axis to melodic, almost pretty tunes that show off their VU/Spaceman 3/Mazzy Star leanings. Imagine a Spanish speaking Black Lips crossed with a Spanish speaking Jesus & the Mary Chain and you're beginning to get the picture. Yep, all the songs are en Espanol and it sounds beautiful. Be sure to catch them live when they tour the US and Europe - their live show is an absolute party.
JAY REATARD - Singles 06-07 double LP / CD-DVD
We are proud to announce to release this collection of all of Jay's limited edition (mostly) 7" vinyl releases here in one tidy, handsome package. Singles 06-07 collects all of Jay's post Blood Visions - pre Matador output - all remastered and sounding better than ever. The vinyl is a double gatefold, which has been mastered with nice wide grooves so it'll sound even better than the original 7" version did. The CD comes in a beautiful digipack with a DVD containing awesome live and interview footage. This is most definitely the most fancy pants package ITR has ever been responsible for and we are proud of this thing, by God.
BLACKTOP I've Got A Baaad Feeling About This (complete recordings) CD - BACK IN STOCK
The hottest thing from the north to come out of the south. Blacktop were Mick Collins (Gories, Dirtbombs), Darin Lin Wood (Fireworks, 68 Comeback), Alex Cuervo (Now Time Delegation, Hex Dispensers) and Janet Walker (Fireworks). They recorded one incredible album and a slew of great singles before they imploded. Noisy, rocking and awesome, though short lived. This CD collects all the recordings they did in their short life. A must.
CHEAP TIME - S/T LP/CD
The debut album from Tennessee's Cheap Time is 28 minutes of snotty pop/punk/glam perfection. You need this! Nuff said.
THE DIRTBOMBS - We Have You Surrounded LP/CD
The fourth studio album from Detroit's Dirtbombs finds the band in their usual, soulfully rocking form, though this time Mick Collins' song writing seems to be heavily focused on urban paranoia. Nine new originals, a Sparks cover, a Dead Moon cover and an eight minute plus noise jam. This is good shit! LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
THE DIRTBOMBS cover Sparks 7"
The Dirtbombs tackle two tracks from label mates Sparks hefty back catalog. The A side, which is also featured on the new album, is Sherlock Holmes and the B side, exclusive to this single, is Nothing To Do. Comes in a handsome color picture sleeve.
THE KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW S/T LP/CD
The long awaited re-issue of this dynamic duo's debut album originally released on the incredible Goner label. This issue features two additional tracks not found on the Goner version and new packaging. The LP is a gatefold double with a one-sided second disc that contains the boy's lo-fi first demo. This is a must for any fan of real rock n' roll. Take your pants off and dance!!
THE JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION Jukebox Explosion LP/CD
This wild-ass 18 song compilation collects all the sides from the band's In The Red jukebox singles series along with previously unreleased jams from the band's early days. Their jukebox singles were always fast and frantic numbers as are most of the tracks we've unearthed to flesh this bad boy out so you can expect this to be the most full-throttle, ass-kicking JSBX full length to date.....and that's saying something!
THE INTELLIGENCE Deuteronomy LP/CD
Third, and by far, most fantastic album from this brilliant combo lead by Lars Finberg. If you liked them before you'll LOVE this. If you loved them before you'll WORSHIP this. We're not shitting you when we tell you this album is fucking GREAT! They've (he's) taken his whole post-punk/pop/whatever thing to the next level on this one. Seriously, if you don't get this one you are screwing yourself big time! We've been told that over use of exclamation points is the sign of a weak education but they are well warranted here - trust us!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LAMPS S/T CD
Some people see this as the band's sophomore release, though we sort of count it as the debut since their first 12" only came out on vinyl and was pretty short -- it was more of a mini album. However you look at it, this new album totally kills and if you like unrelenting, noisy, brutal rock n' roll music you absolutely have to own this.
THE LAMPS / HAUNTED GEORGE split tour 7"
The Lamps and Haunted George (and Cheap Time) are heading up the west coast this summer and we made this limited edition 7" to commemorate the event. Haunted George does a totally demented six minute version of the Lamps' "Ron Campbell". The Lamps do a pulverizing version of George's "I'm Gonna Lynch You". Limited edition of 400 available only here or at the band's shows.
MISS ALEX WHITE & THE RED ORCHESTRA Space & Time LP/CD
The second album from Chicago's Miss Alex White proves that Alex not only avoided the sophomore slump but she raised the bar considerably. A rock n' roll album that sounds instantly classic and timeless.
VOLT S/T LP/CD
The debut album from France's incredible, the leaders of the current Cold Wave movement (or Glue Wave, if you read Victim Of Time) is an event that surpasses any and all hype that has preceded it. If you enjoy dense/harsh analog synths, even harsher guitars and subject matter that covers a pack of wolf-dogs barking, a romantic man in love with a nun, communicating without understanding, sex and new stuff, feast of snakes, couples, and mental paralysis. This stuff is so good you won't believe it!
MARK SULTAN The Sultanic Verses LP/CD
Mark Sultan (aka BBQ the one man band).....singer/guitarist of Mind Controls, drummer/singer of Les Sexareenos, singer of The Spaceshits, collaborator with The Deadly Snakes, Jack Oblivian and The Demon's Claws. The Sultanic Verses, his first album as 'Mark Sultan', foregoing the one man, Sultan decided to do an album recording many of the instruments himself and inviting friends to fill in the gaps. Recorded in Berlin and Montreal, the results are perfect. Proving his reputation as one of the world's finest rock'n'roll singers and songwriters, but also expanding his repertoire by throwing experimental, psychedelic and punk rock into his trademark mix of RnB, garage, soul and REAL rock'n'roll. The Sultanic Verses is 11 songs of creative genius that sets a new standard in modern music. A juke-box blowout of styles and effortless hits with NO FILLER AT ALL. Fans of The Velvet Underground, The Falcons, The Saints, Brian Eno, Eddie Cochran, The Human Expression, Phil Spector, Buddy Holly and great music in general, rejoice. But two copies for when the grooves wear out. Nobody does it like Mark Sultan. LP TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
DEMON'S CLAWS Satan's Little Pet Pig LP/CD
The second album from Montreal's enfante terribles, Demon's Claws, is an E ticket ride of gnarly, raunchy, sick rock n' roll. Imagine if the Scientists came from the Appalachian Mountains and were the same age as the Black Lips and you're getting there. Good shit!
SPARKS Dick Around CD EP
We announce with great pride, the first US single from Sparks' Hello Young Lovers album. Edited down from its album length of nearly seven minutes to an explosive three and change, Dick Around is showcased here to be what we at ITR always knew it was; a breathtaking piece of explosive pop rock brilliance. The CD EP includes, in addition to the A-side track, (Baby Baby) Can I Invade Your Country (alternate lyrics), Happy Hunting Ground, Bon Voyage, In The Future (all recorded in Hollywood at the Avalon on May 20, 2005), an interview with Ron and Russell Mael conducted by Steve Jones (indie 103.1/Sex Pistols) and Quicktime videos (which can be viewed full screen) for the A-side, Dick Around, and Perfume. What else could you ask for? One of us to come over and wash your car? Go to our mail order page and buy this single and, for god-sakes, request Dick Around to be played on your local radio station!!! $10
SPARKS Dick Around / Hospitality On Parade (live) 7"
What Sparks single release would be complete without seven inch vinyl. Housed in a handsome, glossy picture sleeve, this single features the radio edit of Dick Around backed by an incredible live version of Hospitality On Parade recorded this past May at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA. The single comes in a white vinyl version with large center hole (US jukebox style) and a pink vinyl small center hole European style. Please specify which you'd like when ordering.
King Khan & BBQ Show What's For Dinner LP/CD
The second album from this genius duo who've perfectly blended 60's beat, doo wop, garage and punk into something truly unique and exciting.

The debut album from Ian Adam's (Ponys, Happy Supply) new band. Perfect pop rock jangle and melodies delivered with wit, style, and authenticity.
Miss Alex White & Chris Playboy Live in Chicago LP
This is the second in our series of internet-only releases. This LP, recorded by Criminal IQ, was the last performance of Miss Alex White and Chris Playboy (aka Chris Saathoff). Limited edition of 500.
Country Teasers The Empire Strikes Back CD
The newest release from England's Country Teasers is their finest to date. Songs about race and race relations in the UK, Star Wars and juxtapositions. A classic.
Black Time Midnight World CD/LP
The second release from the UK's incredible Black Time is a sonic, savage monster by one one of the best new groups around.
SPARKS Hello Young Lovers CD/LP
The 20th album from one of the most brilliant bands in the history of rock music. While the rest of the world seems to accept and even enjoy the bland status quo in pop music, Ron and Russell Mael appear to be on a lone crusade to combat the banality of what is currently surrounding us on the airwaves and in record shops. The sheer musicality of Hello Young Lovers sets this album and Sparks into their own category of greatness as a band. The CD comes in a beautiful mini gatefold sleeve. The LP is on white and pink vinyl - please note which color you'd prefer when ordering
BLACK LIPS Let it Bloom LP/CD
The third album from Atlanta's enfants terrible finds the band at their trashy best. Somewhat more melodic but every bits as psychotic than their previous releases. To quote Mick Collins, "the Black Lips are the only garage band that matters". This baby is a masterpiece.
BLACK TIME Blackout CD
The debut album from England's Black Time was pressed up in a criminally small vinyl edition on the band's own Concrete Life label. ITR is proud to release this scuzz rock masterpiece on the digital format (a format the band themselves aren't too keen on) so regular folks can play it in their car, at the gym and load it into their i-tunes. This is the heavy vampire sound - you're advised to pay attention to it.
THE DEADLY SNAKES Porcella CD
This fourth album from Toronto's favorite sons is their most dark and beautiful outing to date. While maintaining the gospel and soul influences they've always had, Porcella owes its sound very much to "Chelsea Girls"-era Nico, "Odyssey and Oracle"-era Zombies, "Forever Changes"-era Love, Leonard Cohen and The Bad Seeds (the Nick Cave band - not the Texas 60's band). The results: Timeless and incredible. Right now the album is available as a thirteen track CD only. In January In The Red will be releasing this album on vinyl as a double disc gatefold with alternate artwork and title plus seven additional tracks.
THE DEADLY SNAKES Porcella double LP
This fourth album from Toronto's favorite sons is their most dark and beautiful outing to date. While maintaining the gospel and soul influences they've always had, Porcella owes its sound very much to "Chelsea Girls"-era Nico, "Odyssey and Oracle"-era Zombies, "Forever Changes"-era Love, Leonard Cohen and The Bad Seeds (the Nick Cave band - not the Texas 60's band). The results: Timeless and incredible. Double disc gatefold with alternate artwork and title plus seven additional tracks.
THE INTELLIGENCE Icky Baby CD
The sophomore album from Lars Finberg's Intelligence combines the home recorded, DIY, synth style of their debut album with the full-band, aggressive, abrasive style of their live performances. The results are sublime. Icky Baby is pummeling, interesting, ass-kicking, abstract, melodic, dissonant, gnarly and catchy as fuck. Only a dipshit would not find this album absolutely essential.
MISS ALEX WHITE AND THE RED ORCHESTRA LP/CD
The debut album from Chicago's own teenage songstress is an instant rock n' roll classic. Backed by Wes and Chuck of the Clone Defects (i.e. the Red Orchestra), Miss Alex packs a serious wallop combining Velvety melodies, Modern Lovers inspired simplicity and early Mary Chain sonics. Oh, and her voice is powerful enough to take the paint off your walls.
THE DIRTBOMBS If You Don't Already Have A Look double CD
Monstrous 52 track double disc set that collects all the Dirtbombs singles sides, compilation tracks, some rarities and some brand new songs. Comes with a fantastic 24 page booklet loaded with photos and liner notes from the band.
V/A Static Disaster - The U.K. In The Red Records Sampler CD
27 track sampler intended to introduce the British record buying public to the label's roster. We don't know if this ploy will do a damn bit of good as far as that goes, but this CD is a great place to start if you're unfamiliar with the bands on the label. Contains otherwise unreleased tracks by the Reigning Sound, Hospitals, Dan Melchior Broke Revue and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
HUMAN EYE s/t CD
The debut album from the Clone Defects' Tim Vulgar's new band. Crazy warped skronk that answers the question "what would Chrome have sounded like if they came from Detroit?" Deranged, abrasive and fucking essential.
COUNTRY TEASERS Live Album
A fantastic collection of live recordings from Britain's best band by far. Collected over the course of four US tours between 1999 and 2004, this CD is the best representation of the ramshackle brilliance of a Teasers live set. All that's missing is the whiskey.
THE PONYS Celebration Castle CD
The second album from Chicago's finest purveyors of hook-filled racket. Darker and more epic than their debut, Celebration Castle proves these ponies have more than one trick.
LOST SOUNDS s/t CD/LP
The fourth album from Memphis' Lost Sounds. Fucking GENIUS....nuff said.
THE HUNCHES Hobo Sunrise CD
The second album from this brilliant combo. Bigger, badder and wilder than their debut with some Velvety songs that are downright beautiful.
THE PIRANHAS Piscis Clangor 12”
Eight brand new twisted tracks from Detroit’s wildest band. Vinyl only.
REIGNING SOUND Too Much Guitar LP/CD
The third and most hard rocking album this incredible band fronted by Greg Cartwright. Half recorded at Easley, half recorded by Jay and Alicja of Lost Sounds, all top- notch rock n’ roll music done Memphis style.
MYSTERY GIRLS Something In The Water CD
The sophomore album from these Green Bay youngsters who manage to make sounding like a perfect cross between early Stones and the MC5 seem effortless. One of the best rock n’ roll bands going today.
THE PONYS Laced With Romance CD
The debut album from this new Chicago band that writes the catchiest songs you’ve heard in years. Dirty, poppy, snotty, loud, melodic…if rock n’ roll music is so easy to do how come not every band is this good?
THE DIRTBOMBS Dangerous Magical Noise LP/CD
The third album from Mick Collins and the gang this time it’s all originals. With nods to T. Rex, the Buzzcocks and the Yellow Magic Orchestra all funneled through the R&B/soul influences you’ve come to expect from this great band.
THE HOSPITALS s/t CD
This Portland, OR duo wants to put a hurt on your ears. This is not your typical two piece playing the white boy blues that’s currently being done to death this is some SICK NOISE. Imagine Lightening Bolt crossed Pussy Galore and you’re in the ball park. The noisiest, most fucked album in the ITR catalog!
THE FUSE! The Fisherman’s Wife LP/CD
This Hispanic three piece from Downey, CA are one of the wildest live acts going today. Fractured, fast, fragmented and almost impossible to describe. Punk, post punk, mod rock and art rock all puked up into one glorious din.
COUNTRY TEASERS Full Moon Empty Sports Bag CD
The latest from this UK export finds them at their rawest. More good vibes from the genius of Ben Wallers and crew.
THE DEADLY SNAKES Ode To Joy CD
The third and finest offering from Toronto's favorite sons. These guys stir up a blend of soul, gospel, garage, blues and dirty rock n' roll that would make Keith Richards jealous.
THE HORRORS Vent CD
The sophomore release from these Cedar Rapids misfits. Produced by Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound), this album leaves behind the frantic lo-fi scuzz of their first album for a more bluesy throb. Don't worry - it's still dirty, raunchy and nasty. Hell, a cleaner version of The Horrors is still filthy by any one else's standards.
CLONE DEFECTS Shapes of Venus CD
The second album from these Detroit psychos is a virtual history lesson in wild rock n' roll - Thunders style rockers, stomping punkers, twisted pop and even a soulful Otis Redding cover. This record has it all Fucking genius!
THE HUNCHES Yes. No. Shut It. CD
The completely over the top debut album from Portland, OR's wildest export. Savage rock n' roll at it's primal and crazed.
THE PIRANHAS Erotic Grit Movies CD
Debut full length from these Detroit demons of art-punk-skronk.
DAN MELCHIOR’S BROKE REVUE Bitterness, Rage, Spite and Scorn CD

CHEATER SLICKS Yer Last Record CD
Seventh fantastic release by Columbus, Ohio’s favorite rays of sunshine. Dark, noisy and excellent!
KNOXVILLE GIRLS In A Paper Suit CD
Sophomore album from the incredible all-star NY band. More rock than country this time around. Features covers of Hasil Adkins and Shangri-La’s numbers. A no wave/country classic!
THE DEADLY SNAKES I'm Not Your Soldier Anymore CD
The second album from this stellar Toronto soul-punk-rock n’ roll band. This time Greg Cartwright (Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers) not only produces, but also joins them as a full-fledged member. Soul shakingly great!
LORD HIGH FIXERS The Beginning Of The End CD
The swansong release from this always innovative Austin band the features the guitar genius of Tim Kerr and the vocal brilliance of Mike Carroll (both formerly of Poison 13 one of the greatest rock n’ roll bands ever). This record features their most adventurous forays ever. Incredible sax blowouts by free jazzman Ken Vandermark. These guys will be missed, but be sure to check out their new band Total Sound group Direct Action Committee.
THE SCREWS Shake Your Monkey LP/CD
Sophomore effort from Mick Collins’ west coast rock n’ roll combo. This time they employ the bass and guitar skills of Jimmy Hole (Necessary Evils, LP/CD cover artist and designer of this very website) and Mike McHugh (knob turner at the ultra cool Distillery studio) and dust off a pile of weirdo covers that they suitably screw up. Tracks from The Contortions, Rolling Stones and even Groove Armada are dragged through the mud here with amazing results.
KING BROTHERS In The Red LP/CD
Japan’s wildest export delivers one psycho record here for their In The Red debut. For several years this band has been consistently the very wildest live rock n’ roll band on the planet SERIOUSLY. Here the band blow out 12 stomping new tunes that literally explode from your stereo speakers. Truly primal and brutal shit.
BROKE REVUE Heavy Dirt CD
Former HollyGoLightly guitarist and collaborator here with his new band. Brilliant, hard-hitting scuzz-blues-punk rock n’ roll that can take the paint off the walls. Records rarely come this near perfection. We’re biased, of course, but it is the truth.
REIGNING SOUND Time Bomb High School LP/CD
The second album from Greg Cartwright (Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers) new Memphis band. The first album was a somber and moody record that was one of the best albums to come out last year it was a complete departure from Greg’s previous bands. Here on this one, Greg has returned to his old rock n’ roll style but has also kept his balladry in place. Fifteen brand new songs that range from stomping rockers to tearful ballads all done with real Memphis SOUL! The vinyl version has the sides divided between ballads and rockers. Mercy.
COUNTRY TEASERS Science Hat Artistic Cube Moral Nosebleed Empire CD
London’s favorite hate-filled sons are given the reverential treatment they deserve here with a career spanning compilation that collects demos, outtakes, singles tracks, ect. This show cases the band at their rawest, most experimental and best. Why everyone isn’t bowing to this band is just more evidence of stupid the bulk of the human race is. The double vinyl features forty tracks the CD features twenty you do the math. You need this band’s music in your life, honestly.
SPEEDBALL BABY The Blackout CD
New York’s favorite derelict sons and daughters return here with their third and most adventurous release to date. Features appearances by James Chance, Cristina Martinez, Jon Spencer and Mick Collins. Fractured rockabilly meets no wave skronk as filtered through the twisted brain of singer Ron Ward. Incredible! LP is out of print
SPEEDBALL BABY Uptight CD
One of New York's finest rock n' roll bands drops their best album yet. Features guest appearances by Mick Collins and Judah Bauer. LP is out of print
ANDRE WILLIAMS The Black Godfather CD/LP
The party album of the year. The highly anticipated follow-up to "Silky". The godfather of lascivious Rn'B raunch. Andre is backed by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Dirtbombs, Cheater Slicks, Compulsive Gamblers and his touring band The Countdowns. Lord have mercy.
ANDRE WILLIAMS w/ BLUES EXPLOSION Lapdance 12"
The first collaboration between Andre Williams and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Two lengthy, fucked-up remixes - one by Jim Waters and one by Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell.
KNOXVILLE GIRLS s/t CD
Self-titled debut album from this incredible new NY band that features Jerry Teel (Chrome Cranks & Honeymoon Killers), Bob Bert (Pussy Galore & Sonic Youth), Kid Congo Powers (Cramps, Gun Club & Nick Cave). Raw and rootsy no wave country rock n’ roll. Simply fantastic! LP is out of print
CHEATER SLICKS Refried Dreams CD
Excellent sixth album from this gang of misanthropes whose music just keeps getting better and better and darker and darker.
THE BASSHOLES When My Blue Moon Turns Red Again - double LP
Be prepared - The Bassholes go for blood on this, their 5th album. Foregoing their usual lo-fi approach for a loud guitar and drums attack that hits incredibly hard. Angrier and more punk rock than anything that would be expected from these guys while not losing their warped, bluesy edge. A fucking masterpiece!!!!
THE DIRTBOMBS Horndog Fest CD
Gnarly as fuck debut album from Mick Collins’ current group of noise terrorists. Twelve songs that range from blues/soul/punk to hardcore to straight up deranged noise.
THE SCREWS Hate Filled Classics CD
Debut album from Mick Collins’ newest band that features Terri Wahl (Red Aunts), Dan Brown (‘68 Comeback & Royal Trux), and Marty Moore. Dark and aggressive songs in the punk/blues vein (with the emphasis being on punk). STELLAR!!!
THE NECESSARY EVILS The Sicko Inside Me LP/CD
On this, their second album, the Evils unleash another serving of dementia, hate, and honest to goodness evil. A harder and fatter sound than previous efforts makes these guys thee best psychodelic rock n’ roll band in the world!!!!
PUSSY GALORE Live In The Red LP/CD
Holy shit!! This is the "Kick Out The Jams" of the 90’s!!! Jon Spencer, Bob Bert, Neil Haggerty, and Kurt Wolf pile drive their way through their last show ever at CBGB’s in 1989. In your face, blown- out, over-driven rock n’ roll. Much more dense and rocking than their studio output (which is also stellar) - this is what you need!
CHEATER SLICKS Forgive Thee double CD
The Slicks follow up "Don’t Like You" with this monstrous double CD that is their best and most adventurous release yet. A sprawling 98 minute soundscape that owes in equal parts to the Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, 60’s garage punk, and sheer noise assault.
KIM SALMON & THE SURREALISTS Hit Me With The Surreal Feel LP/CD
Reissue of this twisted lo-fi classic from ‘87 by the former leader of the Scientists. Completely warped, twisted and dark. We are proud as can be to issue this for the first time domestically!!
THE NECESSARY EVILS Spider Fingers LP/CD
The debut from one truly savage band! Like a mutant cross between The Misfits, Pussy Galore and Flipper - this is as brutal as you’re gonna find it!
THE BASSHOLES Haunted Hill CD only
Awesome second L.P. from this low-down, lo-fi blues punk duo. Don Howland (Gibson Bros) screams about cockroaches, hatred, and Pam Grier. Ultra crude and hyper rank!
THE BASSHOLES Deaf Mix Vol. 3 CD
The long awaited third album from the demented mind of Don Howland and it’s the weirdest, most moody one yet. Lower than lo fidelity over depressed blues and crazed punk. GENIUS!!
TAVE FALCO & PANTHER BURNS Panther Phobia CD
The legendary Tav Falco and his unapproachable Panther Burns turn in their rawest, most incendiary release since their debut, Behind The Magnolia Curtain. Produced by Jeffrey Evans, this album marks a return to the lo-fi deconstructed roots rock that Tav invented back in the late 70's, which has been much copied since.
