DELOREAN
SUBIZA
Mushroom Pillow
Delorean are a Barcelona indie rock band who play Mediterranean dance music and have become one of Spain's most popular underground bands. Taking cues from their native Balearic beat, Madchester house, techno, R&B, Delorean carve out a sunny sweet spot between the stage and the dance floor. Their new album, Subiza - named after the bucolic Basque town in which it was recorded - is Delorean’s defining work to date. Fusing relentless hands-in-the-air club rhythms with the shimmering melodies they've long toyed with, it drips with decades of dancefloor history while retaining Delorean’s own adventurous voice.

FUCKED UP
HIDDEN WORLD
Deranged Records
Toronto's Fucked Up present their first full-length in the band's four year existence after countless singles and EPs, many of which are out of print and fetching large sums on ebay. "Hidden World" continues Fucked Up's departure from the fast, sloppy early '80s styled hardcore they began with, and their adventure into a more dangerous territory of punk, combining melodies with expansive structures and adding thought-provoking and sometimes controversial imagery to their mix. DOUBLE VINYL VERSION!!!

TOUNDRA
(II)
Aloud Music


TOUNDRA
(II)
Aloud Music
Hate people comparing bands to other as they are always lying and exaggerating, but even if TOUNDRA are slowing down sometimes, they are kicking ass like a perfect new formed band outta the ashes of KYUSS and RUSSIAN CIRCLES and this without rocking the same boring riffs for hours and hours.


ORCHID
GATEFOLD
Ebullition Records
The final recordings of Orchid. These nineteen tracks are probably the best songs that Orchid ever recorded. Their sound has been honed and defined, and the recording perfectly captures Orchid's diverse combination of arty sensibilities, heartfelt emotive song writing, Mohinder-esque drumming, frantic precision, controlled mayhem, and chaotic adrenaline. An excellent record that even surpasses their previous releases. Definitely Orchid's opus.

YAPHET KOTTO
WE BURY OUR DEAD ALIVE
Ebullition Records
For seven years Yaphet Kotto has been unleashing a torrent of melodic power fashioned from a dual guitar attack, hammering drumming, and a passionate duel vocal approach. We Bury Our Dead Alive is Yaphet Kotto’s third full length LP, and these ten songs are once again inspired, emotionally charged, melodic and hard hitting. Unlike many bands, time has not mellowed Yaphet Kotto. Their new material is tighter, heavier, and harder than ever before.

AMPERE | SINALOA
SPLIT
Ebullition Records
Ampere continues their emo-violent attack with 7 new tracks bursting with rage and harsh beauty. Sinaloa’s 5 tracks are more traditional emotive hardcore without the rage and violence. They have a definite Moss Icon feel to their sound. Melodic and passionate. Both formats come packaged in full color covers with a full color insert as well as a booklet. Ampere features ex-members of Orchid, Bucket Full Of Teeth, Laceration, Stop The Clock, Wolves and The Last Forty Seconds while Sinaloa features ex-members of Ettile Vyre and Ache. Both bands are from Massachusetts.

YAPHET KOTTO
SYNCOPATED SYNTHETIC LAMENTS FOR LOVE
Ebullition Records
This amazing Northern California emotive hardcore band has once again crafted a full length of powerfully intense and melodic songs to charm your body into a gyrating flurry of motion. The two guitar, duel vocal sound is relentless and pulsating with energy and emotion. A total of ten tracks packaged in a beautiful gatefold jacket with a design reminiscent of their last 12" record.

RAW POWER
AFTER YOUR BRAIN
Toxic Shock
Vinyl LP reissue of this 1986 album from Italy's answer to Black Flag. Many would classify Raw Power as "crossover" Hardcore because they employ heavy riffing and wanky solos in many of the songs, but their ferocity defied any generic label. Whether or not they were named for the Stooges album, Raw Power had as much to do with the ultra-high-energy of the Detroit Rock sound as they did with contemporary early '80s Hardcore Heavy Metal. The After Your Brain LP was released at a time when U.S. Hardcore was beginning to lose its direction.

RAW POWER
WHOP HOUR
WWorld


CITIZENS ARREST
COLOSSUS / DISCOGRAPHY
Nuclear War Now!
This discography release contains pretty much everything they recorded including their 1989 demo, 7", compilation tracks, album, unreleased Red C cover with Daryl on vocals and a live recording with Daryl on vocals. The 8" live flexi was left out due to its bad sound quality. All copies come housed in quality gatefold jacket and includes a double sided A2 poster and zine styled booklet with old photos and additional information about each release.

RAW POWER
LIVE DVD AND REPTILE HOUSE
WWorld
This CD has been remastered and now includes a bonus DVD with the hour-long 1998 "Big Ass" Tour documentary, plus extras that include live at the Olympic Auditorium in 1984, live in Phoenix 1986 (when they opened for Slayer/Venom), live and in the studio Italy 1983-85, and live in 2000 in Nogales, Mexico and Gilman Street. Over an 2 hours of RAW POWER footage you wont want to miss!

SEEIN RED
WE MUST DO MORE THAN JUST MUSIC
Ebullition Records
This new LP, titled "We Must Do More Than Just Music", features twenty-two brand new protest tracks from Seein' Red. Recorded in 2005. These 22 songs are fast, angry political hardcore songs as only Seein' Red does them. Seein' Red has been together for many, many years. They have played all over the world. They have released dozens and dozens of records. And they are a very well known and respected hardcore band. Angry, political, and pissed off... Seein' Red offers a wall of hardcore noise. Powerful music with a powerful message.

KORO
SPEED KILLS
Sorry State Records
Finally seeing the light of day are these eleven tracks that were originally recorded in 1983 as a demo preceding a planned LP that never happened. Some of these songs appear on the infamous Koro 7" but many are unreleased, giving a more lengthy look at this early 80s thrashing hardcore band from Tennessee. Along with the lyrics on the insert you also get a very thorough interview with the band from 2006.


STATE
NO ILLUSIONS
Havoc Records
Ann Arbor Michigan's the State, are one of the rawest and most powerful hardcore bands of the early 80's. Sadly overlooked, the State has had a cult following among collectors and hardcore maniacs in the midwest since the glory days of the early 80s. After a dodgey European bootleg of this 7" the band, Havoc and Grand Theft Audio have teamed up to give this lost classic a proper re issue. Recorded in 1983 by the State with production assistance from Ron Asheton of the Stooges, this is totally icindiery raw, pissed off early 80's hardcore punk. The anger and raw energy on this disk capture the frustration and angst of growing up punk in Reagan's America. Musically it's a raw hardcore assault on the lines of Discharge, Negative Approach, Necros or the Fix.

ORCHID
CHAOS IS ME | DANCE TONIGHT!
Ebullition Records
Combining the eleven tracks from the Chaos Is Me LP with the ten tracks from the Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! 10", this Orchid CD will be a definite crowd pleaser. The CD is packaged in fittingly chaotic hand stamped red opaque jewel cases, and it comes with CD sized versions of the original booklets from the LP and 10". Twenty-one Orchid tracks that highlight the band's blend of emotive chaos, vicious attack, combustible energy, and arty-heartfelt pretense all together in a handmade case! Let the party begin!

IRON AND WINE
OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS
Subpop
Iron and Wine return with one of the most anticipated releases of 2004. "Our Endless Numbered Days" is the second full-length album from Iron and Wine (essentially Sam Beam), and it was recorded both at Sam's Miami home and in Chicago's Engine Studios with Brian Deck (Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova.). On it, Sam is aided and abetted by his regular touring and recording conspirators: his sister Sarah Beam, Patrick McKinney, Jeff McGriff, EJ Holowicki, and Jonathan Bradley.

STATUES
HOLIDAY COPS
p. Thrash
The three Pop-Punk scientists refined their formula in these 10 brandnew songs and poured in some drops of DEVO, SPITS and WIPERS that lets the test tube eruptively foam over with joy, heart, guts and splendid melodies! You want your beloved poppy tunes? You got 'em in 'Holiday cops', 'Reflux' and your new hymn to youth and the weekend 'Young enough'. You need more cool and loud bass lines? Try 'Stop watch' and the critical, exploding 'Self Help Con Job' to satisfy your appetite.


IRON AND WINE
CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE
Subpop
The Creek Drank the Cradle is filled with hushed, restrained vocals, affecting lyrics from a naturalist's perspective, exploring relationships and the hope born from them, all of which come across as though whispered to you personally, accompanied by guitar, banjo, slide guitar… Taken as a whole, The Creek Drank the Cradle, Iron and Wine's debut CD, is an ode to an older South; a part of America that is defined by "traditional values," pastoral imagery and arcane manners.


JAGA JAZZIST
ANIMAL CHIN EP
GSL
The band's sound is a minefield of contrasting textures and styles; the comparisons that come up often include Miles Davis, Squarepusher, Tortoise, Talk Talk, and Kid 606. The 10-piece group's members span their domestic music scene, and they have performed with, and/or been part of, virtually every notable contemporary Norwegian band.


IRON AND WINE
SEA AND THE RHYTHM
Subpop
5 songs recorded in Sam Beam’s bedroom from the same sessions that gave us 2002’s The Creek Drank the Cradle. The Sea and the Rhythm includes “Jesus the Mexican Boy,” which has been a big audience favorite at recent Iron and Wine shows. Sam and his co-conspirators will be recording the new Iron and Wine full-length this summer at Chicago’s Engine Studios with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Holopaw, Red Red Meat), scheduled for release in early 2004.

SLEATER KINNEY
ALL HANDS ON THE BAD ONE
Kill Rock Stars

JAPANTHER
DON'T TRUST ANYONE
Wantage Records
2nd pressing as a LIMITED edition of 320 handnumbered copies on orange-marble colored vinyl! Features the 14 tracks by this incredible duo, recorded for a puppet-show theatre! Totally crazed-out, smash-it-all-up Noise-Punk, that sounds at times like the RAMONES gone wild! It’s as blasting as it is funnily entertaining!


SLEATER KINNEY
ONE BEAT
Kill Rock Stars
The anticipated sixth album from the always hot-rocking SLEATER-KINNEY. While continuing to deliver their usual anthemic rockers, the band has also stretched out a bit adding new wave, pop and soul sounds to the mix, as well as expanded instrumentation that includes strings, horns, and keyboards. Initial pressing features a limited two-song bonus CD, so jump on 'em while you can.


ELLIOTT SMITH
ROMAN CANDLE
Kill Rock Stars
Kill Rock Stars is proud to re-issue Roman Candle, Elliott Smith's first solo album, originally released on Portland's Cavity Search Records in 1994. Roman Candle is now remastered for the re-release by Roger Seibel (SAE) and Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family.


BAD BRAINS
ROCK FOR LIGHT
Fan Club Release
This is the classic album from 1982. Virtually everyone agrees that this group made up of four Washington, D.C.-bred African American jazzbos single-handedly invented hardcore. They radically quickened punk's tempos, added virtuoso instrumentation, and topped it all off with the mystic squeals of shaman-like frontman Paul "H.R." Hudson. This release gives voice to the band's scathing sociopolitical judgment as well as its ability to simply put the hammer down and rock.


ISIS
WANDERING RADIANT
Conspiracy Records
The music of Isis is a suitable metaphor for their 12-year career; patient, meticulous, fraught with tension and gradually building towards an apex of seismic proportions. Isis have successfully navigated the process of growing and evolving without disavowing their initial vision. "Wavering Radiant" finds every component of the Isis armoury coming into equal play and becoming an audiophile's dream. Grandiose without being over-indulgent, epic without compromising focus.


SHELLAC
EXCELLENT ITALIAN GREYHOUND
Touch And Go
Shellac consists of Steve Albini on guitar, Todd Trainer on drums, and Bob Weston on bass. This is their fourth and longest release and all the songs are about Italy or greyhounds. Both the CD and LP come packaged in a beautiful full-color gatefold sleeve. The LP also includes an OBI or slipcover that was drawn and hand-silk screened by Jay Ryan. The CD has a non-hand-screened OBI.


ENVY
A DEAD SINKING STORY
Temporary Residence
Once every several years, a band emerges that is so powerful and overwhelming, you are left in awe after a single listen. Tokyo, Japan's ENVY is such a band. Ten years, hundreds of shows and three LP's after their inception, Level-Plane is very proud to present their latest effort, A Dead Sinking Story. Picking up where All the Footsteps You Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead left off, A Dead Sinking Story is an epic fusion of anger, sadness and strength; a sonic journey through incredible songwriting and newly incorporated electronic soundscapes which give the listener only an inch or two of breathing room. Both breathtaking and unrelenting, A Dead Sinking Story clocks in at an epic 62 minutes; this is truly hardcore reserved for the hardcore.


FUCKED UP
COUPLE TRACKS: SINGLES
Matador Records
Finally - a double-disc set of the uncollected singles, from their 2002 debut, "No Pasaran," through to the 2009 fast take of "No Epiphany." Includes the definitive version of "Generation," the Shop Assistants covers, the UK and Spain-only B-sides, the original versions of "Neat Parts" and "Triumph Of Life," and many other rare 7"-only and unreleased tracks. Vinyl version includes free download of album.


DEERHOOF
OFFEND MAGIE
Kill Rock Stars
New full album with 14 tracks. Both CD and LP packed into gatefold-jackets, and the LP comes with a coupon for a free download of the entire album! A bizarrely beautiful, or a beautifully bizarre pop-album! Not as outrageously wild and exciting as on their earlier records, but maybe their most intimate and delicately pop-sounding album so far!

ZERO BOYS
VICIOUS CIRCLE
Secretly Canadian
The best band from Hoosier territory since the PANICS and the early GIZMOS. The ZERO BOYS have managed to combine elements from the 60's punk-STOOGES axis of their first EP (especially great vocals) and 80's thrash without losing anything in the process. This well-recorded album is varied enough to hold the interest of punk afficionados from all eras, no small achievement. (maximum rock'n'roll)


NEGATIVE APPROACH
TIED DOWN
Touch And Go


DISFEAR | DOOMRIDERS
SPLIT
Disfear Records
To celebrate their long standing friendship, Disfear and Doomriders have paired up to release a brand new limited split 7" EP. With Doomriders, we get a glimpse into their progression since "Black Thunder" in the soon-to-be classic, "Crooked Path." On the other side, Disfear unleash the hook laden "Fear And Trembling." 7" comes with free digital download code.
