MUS53 THE ASTRONAUTS - Survivors LP 400 COPIES BLACK VINYL / 100 CLEAR BLUE VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS52 INSERVIBLES - S/T LP Coming from mexico, a country where street executions and drug Lords are at war with everybody, INSERVIBLES can be described as the soundtrack of the mexican nightmare. Their deranged hybrid of negative hardcore with no-fi garage as been compared to NERORGASMO, RAW POWER, VOID or THE REATARDS. The 13 tracks contained on this LP may bring to mind some of those bands but there is something else behind all those layers of filth they call music. Acid lyrics with a macabre sense of humour. Laughing as a statement against the world and a continuous vile-spit on the face of formal folklore. All housed in a tasteless jacket designed Yecatl Peña. Co-release with Shogun Recordings. 500 COPIES BLACK VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS51 ESCROTO DE RATA - Punk Rock Sex Basura LP ESCROTO DE RATA are in our humble opinion Barcelona's best kept secret. Their iconoclastic punk brings to mind bands like KGB, TNT or LARSEN. They have the most inspiring nihilistic lyrics we have come across in a long time and their art and approach to their existence is raw and even filthy. ESCROTO DE RATA play punk of the brand that punk bands used to play it before it became formulaic and sterile. Crunchy and under-produced yet catchy and timeless. They would fit perfectly in DRO's 1983 PUNK QUE PUNK? compilation or in BLOODSTAINS ACROSS SPAIN. ‘Punk Rock Sex Basura’ is a repress of their second full length CD-R from 2008. LVEUM will also release their 3rd and some new recordings soon. 400 COPIES BLACK VINYL / 100 COPIES GREEN VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS48 THE SHITTY LIMITS - Speculate/Accumulate 12"EP In true Limits fashion of leaving everything to the last minute I was approached by a band member 10 days ago and handed a CD of what apparently was their swan song. Originally approached as a theme record Speculate/ Accumulate was a project of which many people heard of but no one actually heard it. Finally written in one afternoon and recorded the next one the six songs EP sounds urgent, as it should. Nothing has changed in the LIMITS camp, they are the same four kids that were bought up on a steady diet of Pebbles,ATV, THE FALL and other British weirdos of yesteryear. Don't get me wrong they still are un-together, fast by default and punk as fuck so this platter will surely please the fans and convert the stiffs. 400 COPIES BLACK VINYL / 100 COPIES CLEAR BLUE VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS47 WARHEAD - This world of confusion / Acceleration 7" Kyoto's WARHEAD are back after 7 years of no recordings. This time around they bring us two tracks of mega distorted hardcore with the angriest voice in hardcore. Teamed this time with Framtid's guitarist Jacky for full effect they reach a level of extreme power few bands have. Expect no less than another dose of WARHEAD's trademark insanity. Released simultaneously in Japan thru H:G Fact Records (HG-280), USA thru Feral Ward (YAN-073) and Europe thru La Vida Es Un Mus (MUS47) and with a limited green color vinyl version for mailorder in Europe. 1200 COPIES BLACK VINYL 100 COPIES RED VINYL 100 COPIES CLEAR VINYL 100 COPIES GREEN VINYL PRICE £4.25 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS45 NAILBITER - Faded Brain Age/ Abused LP NAILBITER started playing around the squat scene of London in 2000. They were a hybrid between Swedish and Japanese hardcore punk - think DEATHSIDE meets ANTI-CIMEX. They were like no other band in UK in recent history. Their nihilistic and bleak look at the world was based on their every day existence being illegal inmigrants playing raw music and living on the edge. Hated by most LVEUM always thought of them as the real deal. After deportations and disbandings NAILBITER got back together and started touring again in 2010, with some new recordings on the horizon. Faded Brain Age/ Abused compiles their side of their split LP with DESTRUCCION (MUS10) and their MLP released originally by Hardcore Holocaust (HHR012). Limited press of 300 for NAILBITER current tour. 300 COPIES BLACK VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS44 THE ASTRONAUTS - Peter Pan Hits the Suburbs LP Reissue of this long lost masterpice from 1981 originally released by Bulge / Genius records. The Astronauts were (and are, after close to 30 years and a history of lineup shifts only bested by The Fall) the definitive psych-punk ensemble, though even that title doesn't do 'em justice. Their sound culminates the post '77 punk dabblings of head forbears Twink (his 'Do it 77' single and The Rings' 'I wanna be free' platter), Nik Turner (the outstanding Inner City Unit and the 'punkier' late 70's bits of Hawkwind) and Daevid Allen's planet Gong (with fellow acid-punkers Here and Now) all woven in with an earlier Robert Wyatt / mellow candle-y psych folk vibe... While not sounding like any of those things at all. Get it? The album's range is gigantic: from dissonant punk a la Fall ('Everything stops for baby'), to epic progressive folk ('Protest song', 'Baby sings folk songs'), ditties ('Sod us'), hard-rock ('The Traveller'), pop ('How green was my valley'), garage / surf ('Still Talking'), industrial ('How long is a piece of string'), and set to arrangements that employ synths, flute, saxophone, and strays into progressive or even free-form / psychedelic sections. The icing on the cake is the mature statement of the lyrics, a cynical and bitter exploration of the lives of simple men, miles away from the generic horror / punk overtones that permeated most of alternative albums at the time. 400 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS43 HYGIENE - Public Sector LP On their debut album Public Sector, Hygiene take the listener on a post-pub stagger through the concrete walkways and underpasses of Britain's decline. Daydreaming at their offices on a weekday or at home with their record collection on a Saturday night, the members of Hygiene are dislocated in both time and space. Their LP has one DM boot in the past and the other longwing brogue firmly up the backside of the present. Public Sector hearkens back to a time of Polytechnic radicalism, Special Patrol Group repression and O Level temptresses yet evades the pitfalls of vapid historicity and pastiche. Hygiene see historical continuities and follow them to their logical conclusions, reducing their influences down to their essential constituent elements and reassembling them into now music for now people. Flouting Rockist conventions with equal doses of stark minimalism and plodding fury, these post-punks resolutely refuse the "post" prefix. 700 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS42 KRIEGSHÖG – S/T LP RED VINYL SOLD OUT. LAST COPIES OF BLACK VINYL AVAILABLE PRICE £15.00 + POSTAGE
MUS41 CRISIS - Hymns of Faith MLP 'Hymns Of Faith' by Crisis is finally re-released after some thirty years and yet it seems like only yesterday that I bought it upon its release. For thirty years, I have championed Crisis, like some kind of leper in the musical wilderness. I still cannot believe that La Vida Es Un Mus finally heard me. Very few records deserve the tag of classic, but 'Hymns Of Faith' is a classic record! Recorded by a band that was in the throes of death, this mini-LP features seven tracks of political punk (although some would describe it as post punk, an insult of the worst kind), covering the political spectrum from the Italian Red Brigades to the Kanada Kommando of Auschwitz. The LP may have lacked the bite of the earlier singles, but 'Hymns' was innovative and original, and has never been bettered, yet alone equalled. Forget 'Killed By Death', this my friends is the real deal! After Crisis, Douglas P and Tony Wakeford formed Death In June and Luke Rendall joined Theatre Of Hate. Kneel and bow in reverence to 'Hymns Of Faith'! Robert 1ST PRESS 300 RED / 700 BLACK VINYL 2ND PRESS 500 BLACK PRICE £8.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS40 GLAM- S/T 7" Debut EP of this young Barcelona band. Six tracks of ultra agressive hardcore that will fit right in between other BCN acts such as SIBERIA or early INVASION. Fast and sharp energy bursts with manic drumming and no time to waste. The whole EP clocks at 5 minutes and one second , divide that by 6 songs and you get the idea. 1ST PRESS 125 WHITE / 400 BLACK 2ND PRESS 254 BLACK PRICE £4 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MU39 THE SHITTY LIMITS - Last orders / Selling point 7" THE SHITTY LIMITS return with their first new material in 9 months on this two track released on time for Record Store Day. Written and self recorded in late march 2010 then released less than three weeks later - it's the perfect punk rock statement that DIY works. 'Last orders' is a stylish garage stomper whilst on the flip is 'Selling point' - a straight ahead one minute and 45 seconds of punk rock no nonsense. limited to just 394 copies and hand stamped. AVAILABLE
MUS38 HYGIENE - Things that dreams are made of / Fixed odds betting terminal 7"
MUS37 FIX ME - Ni una sola puta lágrima LP 2ND PRESS 261 BLACK VINYL PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS36 THE WANKYS - Weapons of Musical Destruction 8” + Wank Mag. THE WANKYS 2nd studio album finally sees it’s release on the bands preferred format hard vinyl. This incredible violent recording includes 8 songs. Amongst them a re-recording of the barmy army sing-along song “ABC I Love Noise Punk” and the already classic “Hey Crusty Have a Fucking Bath”. This is the musical equivalent of pissing in an electricity socket and sees the band blending their noise attacks with incredibly catchy punk rock songs, all wrapped up with their trademark guitar fuzz attack. The Wank Mag contains much non-sense including band history, lyrics, guitar tab, photos, Wankerman comic strip and even a dot-to-dot penis drawing. This lavish package is all encased in a Kuro inspired envelope. 2ND PRESS 300 BLACK VINYL PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS35 GERIATRIC UNIT – Permethrin Blues MLP GERIATRIC UNIT (former members of HERESY, IRON MONKEY and HARD TO SWALLOW) are back with another 12 blasts of raging hardcore that sounds like it was made back in the late 80's. Permethrin Blues, their fourth 12”, it's short, gnarly and to the point and had to be cut on 45rpm for maximum impact. It's half Boston Hardcore half middle age men shouting at the world. It's the sound of four people with almost the combined age of 120 still having it. It's punk, it's hardcore and it doesn't give a fuck whether you like it or not. This is pure music played by people that do it for love and if you cut them open would bleed hardcore. CD version available on BOSS TUNEAGE. 1ST PRESS 375 BLACK / 125 GRAY PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS34 VOCO PROTESTA – Vojo al libereco LP Tokyo's VOCO PROTESTA blend the best of the last fifteen years of Japanese distorted hardcore with the early 80’s European punk attitude. Their sound has changed a touch since their three 7"s - It’s more dynamic, perhaps less CONFUSE and more CRUDE SS. However, their ideas are still the same, highly idealistic anarchist lyrics about a better world sang in Esperanto. Their sonic approach is still distorted, primitive and urgent. Fast and angry. 'Vojo el Libereco' is a classic slice of raw hardcore for any fans of GLOOM, FRAMTID, FRIGORA and other masters of the black and white high contrast artwork. Cover by Teodoro Hernandez. 1ST PRESS 550 BLACK / 150 BLUE 2ND PRESS 300 GREEN PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS33 GOVERNMENT WARNING – Paranoid Mess LP GOVERNMENT WARNING from Richmond, VA came from out of nowhere with their “No Way Out” in 2005. Ever since they have been unleashing some of the greatest traditional US HC even written. Following their “No Moderation” LP and their “Arrested” 7” comes their second full length “Paranoid mess”. Fourteen unrelenting tracks full of snotty attitude that musically lies somewhere between ZERO BOYS, VERBAL ABUSE, FU’s or ADOLESCENTS including some mid paced tracks that follow the sound they mastered on their last EP. Great sounding record that brings to mind the golden era of USA hardcore - absolutely timeless. PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE

MUS30 SURRENDER - There is no war 7" Three track 400 copies only european tour single from the Bay Area's peace-punk band SURRENDER. One side features 'Duty, Honor, Pride' which is a many parts protest song that's like a mix of SLEATER KINNEY, YOUTH IN ASIA and SUBMISSION HOLD whilst the flip features the 'Reality Asylum' esque spoken word track 'Letter home' and the more upbeat and scratchy 'Who cares?' which is like an early 80's CHUMBAWAMBA demo.

Only 400 were pressed with hand stamped labels and were mostly sold on their just finished European tour. 'Straight forward' is prime punk rock action that sounds like a garage band raised on MINOR THREAT rather than THE SONICS.

MUS24 INVASIÓN - La Caza 12" "That storm you hear at the outset is a warning for the ferocity to follow. Madrid’s Invasion stick the three-chord approach to hardcore with so many left turns – so much reverb on the vocals that it sounds like the singer is attacking himself, long pauses for ambience, non-instrument noises, and unsteady percussion that rapidly shifts upgear – that their take on the genre sounds both as it should (a tornado of masonry, heading towards unprotected bodies) and as they will it. Poor, crackly mastering somehow adds to the obfuscated desperation present in their sound, and amplifies the desperation and anger roaming through their sound and politic. Dirty and mean and unforgiving. Packaged in an oversized, screened cardboard sleeve." Doug Mosurock, Dusted Magazine ps: INVASIÓN comes from Barcelona, not Madrid. CD version available on H:G FACT (Including MUS21, unreleased track from MUS24 session and Demo) PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS23 ANGER BURNING - Warcharge EP 7" ANGER BURNING first catch our attention on the V/A Cracked Pop Skulls 7" last year. A crudely produced compilation EP of young Swedish bands whose unique diet seemed to be SHITLICKERS, CRUDITY and MODERAT LIKVIDATION. Somehow the same feeling is carried to this their debut EP. Six un-relentless tracks full of urgency, rage and desperation the way the early Swedish ands did, there is nothing modern on it. From the first note the intensity is set to 11 and 6 minutes 46 seconds later you are left with your mouth open wondering what was that just kicked you in the groin. It was ANGER BURNING. Check this angry people here. GREEN VINYL STILL AVAILABLE PRICE £3.00 + POSTAGE
MUS22 THE WANKYS - The very best of hero LP THE WANKYS from Kyushu Island, UK surprised all of us last year with their already classic NOISE PUNK EP released on Noise and Distortion Label. Having served their time in countless UK bands (DIRGE, SARCASM, ENT, RONG 'UNS etc) this trio surely knew what they were trying to do when heading to the "studio". The very best of Hero, their first full lenght, is a masterpece of noise punk. 14 tracks of trebble ladden madness that will knock you down. The recipe goes like this: an insane amount of guitar saturation + primitive 1x1drumming + bass lines driving the song + lyrics about subject as deep as glue sniffing = This LP A must for Fans of GAI, early CONFUSE, DISORDER or CHAOS CH and a NO for melody fans. Check this mad gentlemen here. 3RD PRESS 300 PINK VINYL AVAILABLE PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE
MUS21 INVASION S/T LP INVASION from Barcelona bring us 10 tracks of claustrophobic, intense, noisy and chaotic hardcore. Influenced equally by DISCHARGE and old Italian and Japanese bands their debut LP is a mix of pure anguish and anger. Their sound is dirty and direct and the vocal delivery is extremely crazy, using delay and echo effects that together with a primal recording and production create an atmosphere of pure desperation. 3RD PRESS 300 COPIES AVAILABLE CD version available on H:G FACT (Including MUS24, unreleased track from MUS24 session and Demo) PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
MUS20 DELIRIUM TREMENS - Presagio de muerte 7" Rare Basque demo from 1984. 10 raging tracks of ugly hardcore punk similar to WRETCHED, RUIDO DE RABIA, EIZEN, TORTURA SISTEMATICA or early European bands of the play fast - no metal era. Totally unknown gem that remained literally unknown among Spanish Punk fanatics until a mere few years ago. Low-Fi recording of a raw abrasive sonic attack recorded in a bom-box. Not a friendly 80 reissue type but a sand-paper in the turntable one. WARNING. This recording sounds really RAW. AVAILABLE PRICE £3.00 + POSTAGE
MUS19 GRUPO SUB-1 Tercer grado en Leningrado LP Allegedly recorded in the post cold war Russia during a cold winter GRUPO SUB-1 from Madrid, Spain, bring us 14 songs of primitive mongoloid synth-punk. Take the best of UNITS, LOS REACTORS or SCREAMERS and mix it with the worst of RIP OFFS and FAMILIA REAL spice it up with tons of obscure early punk from around the globe and then maybe you'll be close to understand this platter. Neo-vintage-futurist-kbd? Nah, it is called PUNK. 2ND PRESS AVAILABLE- 300 ON RED VINYL PRICE £7.00 + POSTAGE Please your feedback is important so if you find something that doesn't work properly let us know as we are still learning. |
